I was looking forward to S3 but it was not what I expected. Very slow and honestly boring.
After just finishing S2 part 2 with its very long flashbacks and conversations, another 1 hour and 30 minutes of very slow setup is just too much.

@Myetx bro you're one episode in in the season and you're already judging it as if it's the whole thing. It's a new arc, of course there's gotta be some setup first. The sow already did everyone a favor by getting it out of the way in just one episode.

@Gilgameshuu I am judging this episode and it was disappointing to me. We are roughly 25 hours in this anime and I don't see what was there to setup for another 90 minutes.
If you enjoyed it, I am happy for you.

Nice to know Subaru has gotten a little stronger over the past year.
The family drama with Reinhardt and Wilhelm was interesting but most of the episode was meh. But as per usual for this series the cliffhanger was a shock. Seeing everyone cheering for a crying tired up kiss was disturbing to watch.

I'm 45 minutes into the new season and I can't stand the dialogue. Every convo between Subaru and Beatrice is cringe asf. I'm alone in the room and put on headphones because of embarrassment that someone might come in and see me watching this bs. It's so corny and all that "loli" talk in there is giving me the creeps. Like the scene with the songstress who looks ~9 years old and the gag with Subaru touching her and her saying "make me a woman" is just... eww. I can't wait for something horrible to happen to Subaru so he can stop running his mouth already.

But fr now, why can't Japanese people make good anime without including some 8yo girl as main cast in it. Or, I mean, it's not even that, just treat children like children. "3-gatsu no lion" has among its main cast 2 children and is a great example of handling these types of characters in an appropriate and wholesome manner.

Sexualizing children should have a studio tank heavily in sales. Not enough people are disgusted by these scenes. I feel like it's become so prevalent in anime it left many people desensitized. Shows like this are normalizing something that should just remain a taboo forever.
@Pastramo

A minute 30 seconds into the episode and I X'd it. Turned away from the massive cringe...

I was already hesitant in starting S3 due to Cringebaru... and the opening minute reminded me just how cringe Subaru is, and the dialogue in this show.

I know this is super late, but eh I'm just catching up on the show now.

K but the only thing I could think of while watching the show is, why are Emilia's tits way bigger now?! Not that I'm complaining of course, but it was just so distracting.

Like, the scene with Reinhard reprimanding Felt about her street outfit, meanwhile Emilia's jugs are just bouncing around, waiting to be fondled by Subaru.

Brb Pixiv to the rescue

Holy shiii the premier ep is about a hour and a half long!?
And that scene at the end, it's so freaky, just like that she got them under her control.

Btw, they buff Emilia huh...

A really funny moment in this episode is after some character tells the main character he "has matured", just 2 seconds later the MC starts screaming like a retarded child.
And he repeats these displays multiple times throughout the episode, not to mention the annoying actual child (or child-looking) characters.

This series really will not stop being cringe, will it?

Finally getting to start on this... and oh man, the introduction of Wrath, even before the child was brought out, was maybe the scariest thing I've watched this year. All my muscles were tense, knowing something was extremely wrong.

Really nice episode.. one of the most enjoyable Re:Zero episodes I've ever seen. It looks beautiful from beginning to end, the backgrounds are really great- even the food on the table and I love the architecture. The idea of a city built in a lake surrounded by walls with that water system is a neat idea, and it does look a lot like Venice. Solid world building.
All the characters are beautiful as always and it's nice seeing goodwill between them rather than the barely hidden contempt and underhanded BS in past arcs.
For being from another world they all look a little too familiar with Japanese customs like with the food and stuff...
That little fox girl I hated her in S2 but she's a lot of fun here. Still hate Anastasia though. Felix is wonderful as ever, so is Reinhard I love that guy.
Really good character interactions. The new characters are cute, Lilliana is kind of delight, and the little brother with the monocle is also adorable.
Sometimes I think they all sound a little too smug and overconfident... can't stand Priscilla. She's almost as obnoxious as Anastasia. No, she's worse actually.
The English vocal cast is stellar
This Wrath character is comical and kind of entertaining... so it's like she's casting some kind of spell over people and I'm disappointed with how easily all of them fall for it.
Knew she was going to drop the kid to his death as soon as she brought him out.... Subaru's reactions to this stuff are overwrought as usual.

We got so many things in the first episode.
I don't remember Anastasia and Felt were this tall? I swear the last time I saw them, they were on the same high as Beatrice.
The final scene was really shocking!

Gorgeous Tiger!!

Mimi was really cute this episode, I love her dynamics with Garfiel. Wonder what happened to them.

Lilliana seems fishy to me.

I didn't know it was going to be a 1 and a half hour long episode, but it went by so fast it felt like a regular episode.

I liked the first episode, but I think it was too long. They (The Studio) could have create 3 episodes from the source they used to make this episode.

(I barely remember to the first 2 season so it is not the best experience form me, but it was a great episode)

Thank you for reading!

Okay, episode 1 was really interesting for setting the stage of this new season. I really like the Venice-inspired city it reminds me of Aria in anime. Anyway, it’s off to a great start in terms of character development and the reintroduction of most of the cast we’ve seen before. It’s also cool to see people like Ferris, Reinhard, Wilhelm, Felt, Crusch etc., and now they’re with that Diva small girl...

Subaru’s first death this season by Sirius was insane, especially seeing the child fall from the bell tower and everyone else die. No wonder Subaru was completely in shock after rewinding time, It really makes you want to see what happens next...

Bro’s been busy farming loli aura off-screen for a whole year now. And the best maid, the best girl who soothes the heart of anyone—our one and only, yes, it’s none other than Rem herself! But even so, it hurts seeing her like that on the bed.

“Subaru Natsuki, the little girl user”... now that’s a badass—and slightly concerning—nickname he’s earned.

The women in the end, her eye and pointy ears remind me of Emilia... is she maybe related to her?

It’s very likely that asking now will be pointless, but I’ll still throw in the question: I don’t remember, has it ever been mentioned before that Subaru is not the only one “isekai’d”?

Like, it was very bizarre reaction in style of: “it seems that some Japanese was here before me and brought with him a whole new culture, leaving his name in history… well…. But who cares? It’s dinner time!”
I watched the firsts seasons over a year ago, so I don’t remember if anything like this has ever mentioned before to justify the complete lack of reaction. And if it was, when and what exactly?

Season 3 of the series didn’t quite match the gripping intensity of its predecessors. Season 1 masterfully wove tension, mystery, and high stakes with suspenseful, stellar buildup. Season 2 focused on Emilia’s compelling journey through her trials. In contrast, Season 3 felt more straightforward, introducing new villains and their powers while raising fresh questions. Unfortunately, the finale fell flat, feeling somewhat anti-climactic. While it’s my least favorite season so far, it’s still a worthwhile watch. Kudos to White Fox for keeping the series alive!

This episode really seems to set up for something absolutely awesome in season 3. I mean it sets up some stuff with the politics they kinda hand-waved in season 1, shows how well-regarded subaru is now, and introduces the next Archbishop, Sirius. I'm excited for the rest of this season!

I was expecting more from a 90min episode. A big chunk of it felt like a "Let's put everyone in a yukata" special. But I liked how unsettling the last 5min were.
It's weird to me that Subaru visits a ryokan in this fantasy world and treats it like some theme park attraction. Shouldn't it be a huge reveal that there was someone else summoned 400(!) years ago in the fantasy worlds timeline, when judging from the massage chairs he must have been from the 1950s or later? How did Subaru not learn about Karagiri and how Japan-influenced they are, before this meeting?

That was pretty messed up. You knew it was coming, yet even a vet would be taken in by that ending.

Welp, that was a cold way for Subaru to reenter the stage. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy. Everybody knew the structure of this ep and how it would end with a bang but even after all these seasons that was a bit much.

I really thought they’d let us off the hook for a second. 1&1/2 hours is a movie. Sweet movie bro!

wild ending...mostly setup episode, I understand why they grouped it into one. I'm a bit confused about Garfield though. Why did he suddenly/randomly attack Reinhard? Is there any history there or just instinct because of Reinhard's strength? The animosity doesn't add up...

Also, the thing about the mother came out of nowhere. What are the chances...

Also, why did princess bitch randomly flip out at the deadbeat Astrea dad when he was threatening the inheritance thing? They literally showed up for the same thing after all. Maybe she got her feelings hurt because she just got done sucking up the inheritance of her dead husband?

Am 11 months late to the party but oh boy we are back baby the dialogue and banter are as witty as ever but damn it be even more cringe than I remember

Jokes aside, this arc looks like it's gonna slap. The setting is really neat as a city built in the middle of the lake. It's got a crater-design to it though, which is cool, but those residents must have a lot of faith in those walls.

Looking forward to this; let's see how hard it goes.
