| disappointed, was really hyped since seeing the op for the first time, but they just messed up this episode's pacing. it was more fast-paced than needed It was a 25min episode ...with no op and ed overlapping with other events... the entire thing just tries to fit in as much content as possible. One of the best things about re zero is how fleshed out it is, but this episode forgot that. Everything that i think deserved more time, was just done so fast. ReZero is not the most unpredicatable show, so its appeal lies in its world building and writing, messing that up, especially after probably the best op visuals throughout the year foreshadowing so many things and hyping you up, is just a disappointment. not lost all hope since the events that happened were extremely intriguiging and the only problem i had with this episode could only be a 1 episode thing. |

| i guess we'll finally get to see subaru's past in the real world, maybe even how he ended up in lugnica. i've been looking forward to it since the very beginning. can't wait |
zamandzoe said: animejas said: May just be me but the way the episode flowed felt blazing fast. Especially with the Echidna part, felt like I was watching it on 1.5x. Otherwise, not too bad in terms of content despite the horrendous pacing. I do somewhat like Echidna in the novels and having Maaya Sakamoto (2nd favorite anime voice actor/actress overall) voice her was a nice added bonus. The tea joke felt like a complete miss though in the anime due to how fast everything felt for me. Also, just skimmed through the LN portion of this episode and man this episode definitely came across as really rushed. Arc 4 in general is very content heavy compared to something like Arc 3 so seeing them try to stuff everything in to make it fit in a cour does not seem too promising. So far, the actual events haven't been too bad for me but the way its presented this season just feels incredibly awkward and all over the place. This. This right here. I came here to comment on the pacing but you said it better than I could have. This season is still very good, but what we've seen thus far isn't as good as season 1. Yeah, happy to see other people felt the same problem as i did. rezero's main appeal is its world and writing, not pacing it well will break the immersion, which they can't afford in a show like this. The Events are intriguing on so many levels, Echidna is looking like an interesting character, but they need to correct the speed. The horrendous pacing made the ep3 cliffhanger feel no as interesting as it could have been. |

WraithFury said: We didn't get an OP but now we got the ED playing in background. Witch of Envy is indeed a waifu. I felt sorry for her, Subaru with his priorities. Hope they meet again. She looks like a dark Emilia. Garfiel VA, famous for Bakugo and Accelerator, is he already ok, I thought he is about to have a throat surgery. Rezero and it's cliffhangers, never disappoints, back to the real world. That dad has a fun entrance. Gooood Morning! xD you mean witch of greed ryt? Echidna is greed, Satella is envy(the evil one who killed all the other) |
|
| Well, this episode was impressive. Like, that Echidna speech and the cliffhanger of encounter with his father. Hype ! |
| So the famous witch finally makes her appearance. For a witch with such a fearsome rep her personality sure was quite unexpected being both funny and playful. Subaru shutting her off though sure was fun as her disbelief that this was happening to her as well. Its nice to see Ram again after so long. To think that the Mathers family and Echidna had such a close relationship with each other. So rather than a sanctuary this place is rather a prison huh. Emilia's speech sure was impressive and showed well just how much meeting others and forging bonds with them had helped make her grow as a person. Quite curious to see the kind of trial Emilia and Subaru will face. Overall a solid ep that combined excellent plot advancement with slight comedy via Echidna and tension in the form of the trial that must be overcome to free their friends from the prison that defeated even Roswaal. |

VanishingKira said:   4 mins later subaru follows after her, even if she had gone and done the trial on her own, she would not have been in any danger whatsoever. She was not allowed to do the trail, the sanctuary made light because Subaru was near and closed its light because an "intruder" with no right to take the trial entered. Also no danger? Did we forget how Roswaal looked after he tried to do it but was rejected aswell? Him being one of the most powerful mages out there we don't even know what is the sanctuary able to do to a less powerful individual. That place can as good as kill her and thats it EDIT: And even tho she was allowed to do it why Garfield and Ram had that reaction? Why did the sanctuary's light turned off? At this moment we can only guess what really happened |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
| this is gonna be amazing , hype for next episode |
| BRAWLERS |
| Echidna step on me UwU |
| GOOD MORNING SON OF MINE! |
| I see dead people |
| The body fluid scene was done so much better in the manga Chile.... like it was legitimately funny. The anime went over it like it was nothing lol. |

And the manga was already a lot rushed and minimalist in details if compared to slow and overdescritive light novel. Btw i think its ok since nothing very significant came from that first encounter with Echidna, and if they rushed it in order to alocated more screentime to the first meeting with Rosswall, they did it right. Plus... Auto-censorship? Just like they did with Petra (turning her charm more childish), maybe the producers didn't like the possible sexual innuendo of "body fluids". |

| Just when you thought Emilia might do something on her own... And damn, a double isekai- my mind would be more blown if we didn't see something similar in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! last season. |
 |
| Subaru backstory incoming? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. |
Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| this episode just prove that Emilia and Echidna are both best girls xD....... as a LN reader, more to come boissssssssssssssss |

MonoReaper said: Though not very clearly but i caught Echidna saying "Taida no Majo" which means "Witch of Sloth"?I just noticed there was a translation error. What Echidna did to the tea was not related to the "Witch Gene of Envy" but what she did was give Subaru partly the Witch Gene of Greed aka "her body fluids". |

Since Basuru was sent back to another world which is his previous but by surprise and against his will just like a reverse isekai... Could we call the anime now: Re:-one Or Re:negative Or even UnRe:Zero |
|
What do you mean? She wasn't even accepted by the sanctuary in the first place for she to be able to do something in the first place. That light was just a misunderstanding from Subaru being close but when the Sanctuary detected the "intruder" he automatically shut and "bonked" her lol. I wonder how she wasn't hurt yet but we will have to see soon what was that thing about...now we can only just guess what really happened |

That shou,ld be the next line where they talk about Subarus Sloth Factor he absorbed from Betelgeuse after he died. But the content of the Tea was Echidnas fluids and the only Witch Factor she had in her lifetime was the Greed Factor. So its impossible to give him anything else other than remnants of her own Factor from her fluids. |
fullofregrets09 said: Ah. That makes a little bit more sense. But why does she even have the Sloth Witch Factor, unless she’s well acquainted with Sekhmet in their Witchy Alternate Dimension. Maybe because he killed Pettlejuice? It is confuse, i have to re:read the chapter of LN. After that i will also point here which relevant passages was skipped in this episode. |

| Echidna best girl. Kawaii. Subaru back to Japan. Now this is getting interesting. |
rakp333 said: I like how everyone is interested in Subaru backstory and Beatrice backstory, but no one interested in Emilia backstory and her connection to witch etc. Haha. *sigh* They even did a movie about (a bit of) that, and most ppl proudly skiped it with Meh. Emilia best gurl extra? |

Rob7 said: Nah I’m fine with the pacing. It’s just the tone is different in the manga vs anime. Subaru literally vomited and it was funny in the manga.TeamDalaiLana said: The body fluid scene was done so much better in the manga Chile.... like it was legitimately funny.

It’s another instance of differences in adaptation. Last episode for example, the manga portrayed Subaru to be way more sad and serious in the carriage with rem. The anime was way more light hearted. Some scenes are serious in the manga but funny in the anime. Some are funny in the manga but serious? in the anime instead. |

As someone that gets spoiled hard and knows some little things about whats coming i haven't yet got these hits about her....at least not yet tho (i also know a bit about the time around when she will get this showcase....but i don't think is the case at this moment) |

| I certainly wasn't expecting the episode to end with a return to the real world. That should definitely be interesting to see in the next episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I really enjoyed this episode. I hope to see more of the witch this season. |

SinOfSlothKing said: ........as allways Subaru acts like a retard. Why did he not stay there to ask more questions from the witch? I hate the dialogue of Subaru and his retarded references to things that have nothing to do with anything, and him caring about things that don't matter in the least, like in last episode where he wanted Beatrice to apologize for bullshit reasons, and how he never takes anything seriously despite the fact that he faces death repetedly. That witch was not THE witch right? Its kinda wierd how we only now find out there were more witches. Ask what? How is the weather outside? How are the flowers growing? She clearly stated that she has NO IDEA about how is the world outside now....she is dead for over 400+ years and that cage dimension is just her grave and now she is just a soul without body trapped there in that tomb. Her informations could be very outdated or just plain uninteresting for him to know....heck i bet he really wanted to know whats the biggest star in the universe lol. Now I m gonna ignore what u just stated about Beatrice and how there are other witches (??????) because it was clearly stated in the first season (around episode 8 or so when Beatrice talked about the history of their world and bla bla bla) so i wound bother with info u just had to know |

| Am I the only one who noticed the lack of an OP in this episode? Maybe it's just on my end but I thought they'd start using it after they introduced it in episode 2. |
