I'm very excited for the first episode, as it's probably gonna end off on a cliffhanger of the first death that happens in part 4, but I could be wrong *shrug*.

I've not read the LN, but instead the WN, so I'm also really curious on what they'll cut out, since I'm sure they'll use the LN as the source. Hopefully this season is as good as the first season, if not better. I'm excited for all the new appearances of characters, as well as some great development.


Feel free to let me know what you think/correct me on any information I may have wrong, as I did read a "rough copy" so some details may have been cut out of the LN, or I may remember the information differently. (I read it about 3-5~ months ago)
I'm very excited for season 2, and I hope everyone else is too.

Trolls being trolls. I’m not even sure if they are fans of the show countering the low scores or haters concern trolling to the extreme.

It's to counter the haters, first the haters started rating the anime badly without even seeing the first episode. So, to counter the hater's ratings, fans are rating it high

That's still unnecessarily toxic. The ratings were bound to go up eventually when actual viewers started voting.

Supposed to? No.

Are they necessary? To a small extent, since they add bits and pieces of foreshadowing for the upcoming season 2, especially the Frozen Bonds OVA since that is kind of plot-related (revolves around Emilia and Puck's contract, and Puck's oath to a certain someone). Memory Snow OVA is a fun filled past time and can be skipped if needed.

This will a fun week 1. Hopefully the people offended by episode 1 mass drop it and we can move on to real business for the next weeks. I'm also interested as to what changed from WN to LN, as I've only read the WN. And how much of arc 4 we'll get for real in the first episode, considering there are leftovers from arc 3.

1st Episode will just cover the leftovers from Arc3 imo

The episode is titled "Oaths" which is the last interlude of Volume 9.


So the actual Arc4 will start next week, and it'll adapted at an avg pace of 4 eps per LN vol, which is a pretty good pace in my opinion.

It might be me only, but man this episode felt so flat compared to when I read the LNs for it. The Crusch-Rem dialogue was shortened by a lot, the visuals were below par and even made that final moment of episode 1 look more flat than it was at the LNs where it looked really well drawn (Subaru's painful expression in particular). Felt sort of rushed too. Wished they went with a proper 40+ minutes for this rather than 28. Just mentioning it here too since I am a LN reader and since LN readers are okay here with talking, wanted to just tell that here.

The suicide scene was so meh too. 4 years waiting then received this quality, switched it to on-hold.
Or maybe I'm too old for this now.

I'm probably too old for this as well. I liked the anime when I just started anime when I was younger but the older I get and the more anime I see, the more this anime just got more poor for me. And the few parts which I like of the series by reading the LNs, getting the anime treatment it got like today was rough. I still thought it was a better episode than all of season 1 for me, but man it doesn't feel like it was done justice whatsoever. Atleast we get to see Echidna soon and hopefully White Fox and the staff do well with her, and her interactions with Subaru since those were solid.

I don't have any particularly positive or negative qualities about the first episode itself. My qualms were already there from the start because I've never liked how the story elements were conducted or orchestrated, especially the character work and shock value. Plot still feels convoluted. First episode was okay with the pathos but it's not particularly impressive compared to other shows I've watched.

I'm not comparing this to the shitty s1 of ToG, though. I'm referring more to my overall personal feelings regarding the series in its entirety based on what I've seen so far. Sure, I see the upcoming endeavors for story and character improvement, but I can never really connect with it despite the show being a high point of interest, regardless.

IMO the 2nd cour (starting Jan 2021) is the meat of this arc. The 1st cour is pretty much the build-up. But yeah still 1st cour also has few reveals and some interesting scenes. So I'm interested in seeing what people think about it.

I was actually satisfied by the quality of this episode. White Fox is a pretty small studio and most of the work was outsourced. So can't expect Ufotable or Bones level animation.
Plus it was pretty much same as the 1st episode of season 1 in terms of quality (and I'm totally fine with it).

But yeah I do hope the 2nd cour is of higher quality than this because that content definitely requires higher production standards.

The only thing that felt flat for me was some of the dialogue. REM’s speech about Subaru when she was fighting the Witch cult. Maybe because it’s been so long. That felt so corny to me. It’s odd because in the LN it feels so honest and heart felt. And even in season 1 dialogue never felt out of place. I mean stuff like “demonic like a demon”, and rem whole speech in ep 18 were so well done. It could have been really cheesy but it wasn’t.

I rewatched a couple times I think it’s mainly the music while good idk....didn’t fit that scene and how I envisioned it in my head. The epic fantasy fight music over her speech. That whole scene didn’t hit how it should have hit. Honestly if it was completely dead silence when she was doing that speech would have worked way better. The hero spiel on top epic fantasy music was just too much.

Edit: I just realized they didn’t include this line in the anime “ I wish when he realizes I am gone, it could cause a small ripple in his heart.” It was just grunts. That’s why it felt so cold and off for me personally.

1st episode down and it was neither bad or good in my opinion. The LN seemed to have a darker tonality for these parts that wasn't clearly conveyed over to the anime... it wasn't completely lost however.

We really start to dive into the meat of the new season starting next week!

The fight scene I think was handled appropriately as an introduction to Regulus and Ley!

Looking forward to seeing Garf! Hope his excessive language gets carried over! XD

I can't believe they cut those 10 pages from the WN that detail Rem's fantasies about running away and starting a family with Subaru. Instead we get exactly 3 barely visible frames.
