Really disappointed in this episode. I feel sorry for anyone watching this and not having seen the first season. The episode had two aspects:
1. Big Bad Villains who are over powering but make not much sense
2. Everyone is whining with no hope of overcoming #1

That's about it.....just 3 minutes of fight and 15 minutes of despair.

I just started this season and wow, I'm already cringing at nearly every character. These Cartoon Network level writers need to realize that just because villains do an evil laugh doesn't make them intimidating or anything, it just makes them annoying and childish. And then there's Subaru. He still doesn't get what's productive and what's not.

As an anime only watcher, i definitely feel relieved that Rem was not die at all. She just being erased. The question for me, if anyone wanna answer this shit, why Puck knew what happened? Why the witch of glutony did the erasing thingy to Rem? Was that supposed to be random or its necessary for him to did that? Thats it.

Crusch design somehow was very similar to Emilia. And, poor Petra, her screen time just stopped there. Because, yeah, she was'nt even the heroine on this series. Lol

These characters just never catch a break, now Regulus and Ley, I forgot how dangerous this world is, Regulus seems a little overpowered. And well, I didn’t got that emotional with Rem, I mean, she’s not really dead and it has been a while since I watched this characters in 2016, so, I’m getting to know them again. I don’t remember if there’s no police or law that follows this guys that are extremely powerful. Good episode, the animation was great. Can someone explain me what happened with the scene of the last season where Subaru arrived at the mansion and he found out Pack like a giant monster out of control?

Was that supposed to died off Subaru? If Subaru knew the witch of glutony power from that point, this episode never happening. Lol

Lol! God help me! I was thinking for a second there that this anime might turn into a harem; when I watched the scene where Subaru was crying and swore that he will save Rem while Emilia was behind him hugging.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

I'm not sure if it's a spoiler but Pack is a legendary spirit, he made a pact with Emilia that's what the movie was about if I remember correctly.

I also had a problem with the "Holy smokes these guys are OP, who can actually stop them." Then I remembered the story - A dragon, sword saint and sage protect the kingdom. We know the sword saint is pretty busted, the dragon is still there too.

jesus. my heart sinked when emilia asked who rem was the first time. i took a moment to sink that in because rem is one of my faves. it looks like we have hope, though. i REALLY HOPE THEY GET REM AND CRUSCH BACK.

although i think, i think, there was some kind of foreshadowing in the last season. we didn't see rem that much in the last few eps of s1. idk. correct me if i'm wrong.

felix was kind of aggressive here. crusch seems softer, now that she forgot everything.

i just wanna say that the new introduced sin of archbishops have really good character design that go well with their seiyuu.

i have a feeling this season will be darker than the last, though mal listed it will only have 13 eps.

The letter, that caused the confusion with Ram, was blank because Rem's existence has been already removed from the world at that point.

What a start! This whole episode i had the same feeling i had back when then 1s was airing, and that's the feeling of despair, holy s**! My man, i feel bad for you.

After this whole saga is over they should make a Rezero movie with all the moments where he succeeded, like a compilation but without him dying.

After the 1s we thought that it was over, but it's not...Even more, suffering is coming.

Tbh i thought that he would kill himself when Emilia turned, but i guess he won't try to change what happened. Since they didn't even show the 2nd battle, it jumped straight ahead when Rem was already in bed.

What a first episode!

It's not that he don't want to change it, he can't. The save-point is after Rem has been forgotten.

I thought the save-point was in the carriage before they were attacked, but what you say makes perfect sense.

OK, I understand why it's confusing. It was shown after the scene in the carriage but it happened way before. I think it was at the same time Subaru returned by death after being killed by Julius (or shortly after that).

i made it, i finally made it. Caved in to finally watching this series after seeing some season 2 clips, so as the absolute low life i am, i zoomed through season 1 as fast as i could to catch up. Thank fucking christ for directors cut, 25 episodes boiled down to 13 40ish minute episodes help me catch up in no time, literally mini marathon. Although i will say, it'll definitely take some getting use to 20 minute episodes again xD i've been spoilt i won't lie,

They definitely went full swing for the first episode, Rem getting wiped out straight away (God why D: ) and poor Crusch getting her memory taken. Subaru already having to reset, god that scene was hard to watch.

Not surprised that Emilia's publicity of rolling for candidate and the death of the sin archbishop of sloth have struck a chord in the witch's cult's network. So it is true that the cult is split up to (presumably) 7 factions amongst themselves, each with their own unique ability, sloth with unseen hand an mad yoga skills, gluttony with the memory wipe and greed ability being...yet to be seen? I mean it sucks that Subaru's first encounter with the cult, has to be with probably the most insane and bad shit crazy faction out of them all, but it's good to know not all of them are like that. Plus already got them out of the way so what do you know.

God Subaru can't catch a break can he, poor guy. I'm happy Emilia was able to console him as well as she did regarding his sadness for Rem, her being able to identify that Rem meant a whole lot to subaru was touching, and she gave some pretty heartwarming advice. She did a good.

Lol, a continuation of the "Who's Rem" thing. I wonder how much the fans enjoy a good "who's Rem" meme these days? Anyway, it was nice to see Emilia there to provide some support to Subaru during these trying times. Also, the new Sin Archbishops look pretty badass and tough as hell, so yeah, I can see why Rem lost. I hope Rem gets better.

I caved to watching the series a couple days ago, after seeing "who's Rem" memes on Discord. I tend to watch Anime based on the memes I see online. Weird way I guess. Anyway I ended up watching S1 by watching chunks of it for three days. I then watched the two OVAs (mini-movies) and started the second series today in the wee hours of the morning. Gonna continue with S2 E2 later today, after I get some sleep, lol.

Crusch's attack did nothing to him and he cut her arm. And later did another attack on Rem.

But if you ask what his authority is or how does it work, then yes, it hasn't been shown yet.

For sure, because this whole thing wouldn't make sense if he could have returned before the attack.

Ah yes, the customary welcome for the audience after 4 years of waiting!
The classic peace turning into terror and the death of Subaru to solve that problem. That's lowkey triggering some PTSD.

They packed this first ep with tons of events, the Witch Cultist has no chill, best-girl Rem lost her identity and her memory, while Crusch got it 'relatively' easier, only losing her memory after being ambushed by some freakishly powerful cultist.

Finally, the hype kicks in when Subaru proclaimed with words of conviction that he'll save Rem from this state no matter what. Let's gooooo!

Short, yet intense fight! Two next Archbishops revealed themselves.

Crusch got her hand back (the one that was cut off), but her memories were taken away.

Poor Rem. :( I bet Subaru will find a way to heal her.

But would it change anything if someone asked this question?
Subaru himself does not know the reason, so the only answer he could give would be "I don't know".

I hate Felis and also Oyasumi Rem.

I thought that if the beginning of this episode was confusing, it sounded fake. Why should an enemy appear when the first enemy is defeated, I don't understand. whether Subaru would fight against all the sinful sects in existence, was still a mystery. at least that sin of greed eats up Rem's memory and "sleeping princess".

Subaru wasn't much different either, he was still a coward. But I'm thankful that this continues, I'll watch the next eps

And also 9/10 for this eps, nice introduction

The infamous who's Rem has returned with a vengeance! Subaru crying over his sleeping beauty still hit me hard even though I've known about this twist since the end of season 1.

Wow, I REALLY hate Felix this episode, first off WHO are you? A dude dressed up like a girl who heals, you aren't a ruler, leader, or anyone, and have no say in the matter. Also he's still a asshole to Subaru which used to be funny but in this episode it was just annoying. Ugh, I really thought that Subaru was going to ACTUALLY get better this season, because he really improved in the end. But here he is being unsure, whiny, and when Emilie walks in he's basically like "What are you doing here?" Like you LOVE this girl more than anything, but you are going to act like that when she comes in to see you and her sick friend? People said he got better this season so I REALLY hope he's actually improved, because he's annoying the S out of me already. The self deprecating is beyond unbearable.
