HueyLion said: This season has been a BLAST! Sure some skip scenes here and there...but I'm please! Can't wait for the final cour of the season where things get even more HEATED than they are already! Also of course for all of us Emilia lovers.. kinda confused tho kindly filled me in for this ep hahaha |

| oh my, oh my, oh my god particularly speaking, these episodes was one of the weakest, but more because the other ones were too good than sayin this one was bad. i really liked the witches tea party, i even understood a lil bit about Satella out of everyone, that was was the shoker, not to mention the other witches, uff. and no, i will not spoil myself...anymore, and wait for the next season, this pure gold, I honestly believed it was the anime of the season, nay, the year, the only anime I rated 10/10 this year. of the spoilers I do have, by echidnuts' YT channel i know that this must be ottos moment to really evolve into Subaru's friend, can't wait I'm still hyped up for all the episodes, im even starting to like satella, will wait eagerly for the conclusion, thanks rem:rezo, truly amazing |

Marinate1016 said: Rob7 said: That's it, Anime-Onlies, we've reach the end of this half. But i have a strong advice. ... Checking threads about novel ranking, 9 in 10 readers put the arc 4 as being the BEST arc so far. We are watching what for most is the best moment of the series (not saying that the rest is bad), and the climax is right there starting in Jan/2021. So don't spoil it. Bro what? No. Definitely read the novels if you can. LN’s are always superior to anime and if you like the series, are how you get the full story. I agree! I do agree IF you are used and fan of novels. BUT my message was straight to Anime-Only users that may be too curious. I am anime-only (always) with 99% of series i've watch. |

| Damn, the madness and suffering simply just doesn't take a break in this series! Roswaal's wicked plans, we're slowly getting more of it and it doesn't fail to devastate us more by the reveal. Quite the tense buildup during the Witch Tea Party, by the way. Subaru totally lost himself but it was nice to see that little lift from each of the Witches. Can't be all good-good as well, one would imagine. I wonder if we'll get the full picture of this sometime. Satella is definitely quite the enigma and here's to hoping we'll be able to get a ton more of her soon. And hey, Otto! Yes, Otto! xD. What a punch and the buildup was honestly hilarious, loved it. Just the medicine that Subaru needed, a punch and friendship vibes. Didn't expect the cour to just end like that though, I was sure something was going to drop in those last 10 seconds or so. It's incredible when you think that we only managed to listen to the Op twice but I'm glad that White Fox decided to go through with this idea. At the end of the day, Op and ED are never going to be as important as the actual content of the season after all. Still felt like the season was quite rushed too, not going to lie. All in all, it's been twist after twist and it's almost no wonder that Subaru is struggling to keep hold of his sanity in the process. Personally, I've been a little more modest this season in the sense that I feel this season is great but not top-tier level like Season 1 was. That's not to say that it might become that top-tier level again however. And with that, it's time for the waiting game. I'll make sure to binge this season in advance to Part 2 because I feel like I will appreciate this part more then but for the time being a very strong 8 is true to my experience. Just a shy away from the 9-tier. |

| It was a really good episode. Witches giving Subaru a push, him not wanting to die for the first time, Roswaals reason for doing these and Otto being best boy. It was a good season overall 8/10. |
 |
| Production was a little derpy and the cutting in some areas is a little dissapointing. 8/10 Maybe a 9 once I reread the LN |
 |
| Nice Otto! One thing I don't like is how they keep rubbing you in the face how much Subaru is suffering. Sure he get's fucked and Roswald the mad man is determined to push him even further, but we all know chracters who struggled or overcame obstacles where the odds were worse. That said, really one hell of a season, it was intriguing throughout and on par or even better than season one. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| An amazing end to part 1.. Really excited for part 2. |

ShadowkillZ_ said: This ep is simply mystical... This ep marks the first time that Satella and Subaru had a somewhat proper chat together, much more so compared to their previous chat when Satella had just swallowed the Sanctuary along with its residents. Well, I figure Satella came there to talk to Subaru, after all, she should know that the other witches don't welcome her (although that's only really true for Echidna and not so much for the other 5 witches). Despite knowing this, I actually didn't think that Satella would be here to 'cheer Subaru on' telling him to love himself and save himself. Damn, I hate how Subaru is pretty much up against all the witches in some way. Especially when they talk down on him and try to patronize him. Well, this has been great fun to watch, unfortunately, it's been split into 2 separate parts even though it's still the same season (S2). Still, a phenomenal watch. In the meantime, I might just start reading the LN. Cause as an anime-only I don't see any signs of this. I hope you're just joking.

PendragonX1 said:  My question is how did he actually kill himself here their nothing that he did before to prepare to do it and it suddenly happens. I am assuming he did something in the LN but here he literally falls to the ground dead and IDK why. Pretty sure he bit his tongue off there. The death wasn't immediate which is why some of the witches started fighting about whether to save him or let him bleed out to respect his wishes. |
| So nothing special at the end? I expected some kind of cliffhanger at least. But well, they definitely has their reason for ending the first half here |
 |
KorhalChild said: While I liked this season overall, I feel like Subaru's character is stuck in a neverending loop... Get in a despairful situation -> Someone or something gives him a bit of confidence -> Something even more despairful happens and throws said confidence to the trash -> Repeat I still like his character, but his mood bounced down and up like four times this episode alone and it's getting a little tiresome. That's the only problem I got with this series though, everything else is been fantastic. Called that Roswaal was the employer thanks to the Rezero aftertime special from two weeks ago lol, can't wait for the second cour and to see Emilia finally take some action this season. I feel this way too. Everytime it feels like he had resolved his heart and feels like coming to the climax, but next episode he's just lost all his resolve and reset. It's been happening around three times in this arc, I think. Not saying I hate it. In fact, I absolutely love it. But yeah I agree it may seems dragging, but I guess we'll know when this whole sanctuary arc ends. |
| They introduced way too much this season, I'm sort of lost. How did Subaru save Satella? |
| So deep down none of the witches are truly evil? They only considered to be evil because of their immense / uncontrollable power? Seems like only Gluttony is the one with most distorted personality. Rest of them seems like they all have common sense/ don't really want to kill people. |
| Aaaand we finally reached the conclusion of this 1st cour. Must admit, I thought it would end with Satella's face being reveald and Subaru saying he is "going to save" her, so ending at the beggining of the 13th volume was a surprise for me, but it is not a first, Whitefox did the same at the end of the 1st season, and I think it was a pretty good way to end this cour. I have read this part in the novel not long ago, so maybe the contrast between having to read everything word by word and seeing them being represented visually gave me the feel that the anime was rushing things, but thinking about it now all the episodes so far have done really well and delivered most the important infos. This last episode wasn't a exception, Whitefox done a really good work! The only thing that prickled me is that they cut the revelation that Considering the importance of this last info, I can just think that they 1. Felt it was better to reveal it later (as to say Arc 6, that's why I put it as spoiler); or 2. Plan to do a director's cut of this season as well, after the 2nd cour but before a possible 3rd season, then being able to make longer episodes. So, to sumarize my thoughts, a great 1st cour indeed, with a really good work from Whitefox both in faithful adaptation and in animations, lacking in just some sparse parts. Due to this lack of some few vital infos from the LN, my rating is 9/10. And now to endure the hype for the 2nd cour till january x.x |
ramy22 said: I did not like that they deleted so many scenes. For example, Satila told Subaru that she loved him because he saved her and that he stayed by her side and kissed her. This is an important dialogue, I do not understand why they deleted it. And Emilia's scenes are mostly deleted. I think the studio is in Reem team Btw there's someone who has analyze that the first Emilia Subaru met when he just transferred to another world is the true Satila. If the dialogue you mentioned is true, could it be that this theory is true as well? |
| Now more pieces have fallen into place. The reason Roswaal sets off that winter spell if Subaru leaves Sanctuary is he takes it as a sign Subaru chose the mansion, and thus the Sanctuary must be sacrificed... Fuck you Roswaal. He probably took Subaru's letter to Emilia too. Is Satella's spirit just wandering around? Why wasn't she going berserk when she got into the tea party? I'm so confused... Suddenly she's sane enough to talk in coherent sentences. At least Subaru was willing to hear that he should love himself too, not just everyone else he's trying to save. The irony that once Subaru makes this breakthrough, he loses his qualification to take the test. Is that Echidna being bitter at being rejected (lol) or her sign that he's got to rely on others more I wonder... So we're ending this cour with a punch from Otto... lmao it was weird seeing him speaking ground dragon. But at least we got another confession for this part from best girl Patrasche. |
| AND that's how they wrap up S2 Part 1 I really don't have ANY idea about how's he going to deal with all this.... Well time to wait 2-3 more months to know The art really needs some upgrade but overall 9/10- Best season so far. |
RoryBurrows said: They introduced way too much this season, I'm sort of lost. How did Subaru save Satella? This is something they don't say even in the novel, I think it is purposefully, as to be a great revelation in some later arc (it isn't known even at Arc 6, where LN is rn). I just hope it isn't something like "I have possessed a visual novel heroine and you chose me and showed me love, then I brought you to my world", that would be too cliche for re:zero standards lol |
| The build up is amazing af. Waiting for the second cour. Hoping to see more of my girl Rem <3 |

And yeah I was kinda thinking of that concept in the back of my head when watching lol, that would completely destroy the immersion. |
| Good first half, can’t wait for the 2nd half in January. |
| Btw, just my prediction. (I didn't spoil the plot yet) In order to save both side, making full contract with Betti asap is the only solution. It not only grants Subaru enough power to fight off both Elsa and the beast tamer, it also makes him stand a chance against against Rosewell. Did you guys remember the pendent thing? If you put mana in it, you can teleport back to the sanctum in an instance. Subaru could have defeated both Elsa and the tamer with Betti's power, then insert mana to instantly get back to sanctum, then either stop Roswell to summon Blizzard or evacuate villagers asap. |
| I like how Otto is the only one who can keep Subaru sane. what a good way to end and also begin the real story for the next season. 10/10 episode. for now I'll give the 10 to this. -Perfect portrayal of emotional scene every time. -"Almost" perfect of adaptation from the LN. (still don't understand why so many Emilia's cut tho). -Animation is one of the best. -The puzzle story line is what makes it more amazing. Every sentence from VA spoken is a twist. -INSANE character development from characters. (especially Subaru and the Witches) -every episode of thrilling (One of the best thrilling scene out there as a fantasy-theme) Maybe next season it will pass it. |

| Crazy episode as usual. 10/10 anime of the season and probably the year. By the way, did you know that, 2 weeks ago, Re:Starting Break Time from Zero S2 E11 has already foreshadowed that Roswaal was the one behind hiring Elsa? (for me, it was clear confirmation)  |
| Good episode to end the great series. This was probably the best show this season. Really enjoyed this season. Subaru's character was very well portrayed this season as well/ His sufferings were increasing with every episode. Great to see a new waifu, Echidna in the show. Emilia again didn't play any major role this season as well and so as Rem. Meanwhile, other characters that were introduced this season really shined. 8/10 |
 |
| Major improvement overall from such a boring and shitty first season, going from a 3/10 then to a 6/10 now. That episode with Subaru and his family was by a million miles my favorite episode. No other episode came close whatsoever. Without that one, this season would be a 5 at best. I didn't care too much for this final episode but I'm looking forward to seeing what the next cour has in store. |
| To be honest, I feel like they should've ended in the last episode. The ending with Otto punching him wasn't a good cliffhanger, and the whole episode felt flat comparing to last week's madness. Also, as some people said beforehand, the whole emotional roller coaster is getting tiresome, I understand it to be an unbelievable stressful situation, but it seems silly that at one moment he seems recovered and at the other he can't even find words to confront Roswall. Where is his newfound resolve? I would understand if this happened after one or two loops, but right away? It seems forced. |
| Great, few questions answered and a lot more turned up. How exaclty Daphne helped Subaru prolong his life? Wtf Roswall want afterall... and what was the make up thing stands for? Probably some kind of foresight ability? A very misterious man, indeed. His thoughts seems vagely like Echidna's, to make something perfect, you cannot save or have all, but must leave something behind along the way. Why Subaru must go on the sanctuary tests to fulfill Roswall goals? What's the Emilia's will that Roswall is talking about? Damn... it will be 3 long months. |
