Pretty great, but did they cut out the reason Rosewall accepted the bet? I’m pretty sure in the novel Subaru told Rosewall that if he fails this time, he’ll become his puppet. Or something to that effect

Such a sad moment between Emilia and Puck. I hope this cour will be better than the previous one.

I have to admit Emilia is pretty cute in this scene.



I really wish that Otto gets more screen time. Overall great episode. I can't wait for next week!

That was pushed back to volume 15 if I remember correctly. I could be wrong

There is like so many things skipped with just only the first eps. I like the eps but i'm worried because there so many things not explained in the first eps.

I think there is more but i already forgot the tiny detail in the web novel but. There so many things skipped so i was worried about the series and also a bit dissapointed i guess. I still love the first eps tho.

Hmm... based on the LN content I think the next episode will be titled Otto Suwen (the title of chapter 5 from volume 13).

It's in volume 13. Roswaal asks what will happen if he fails and Subaru answers that then he will do exactly as Roswaal says.

Rip puck i guess, wonder why he sealed away Emilia's memories. Emilia runs away and Ryuzu is missing. Good thing Subaru found Emilia at the end.

So many big reveals this ep, with snippets of Lia's past, the various Ryuzu in command and Puck disappearing to fully recover Lia's locked memories, time for Subaru's masterplan to liberate the Sanctuary to get into motion!

Excited to get into another cour of Re:Zero! The episode itself was nice, slightly surprised with what happened with Puck. I always imagined if Puck ever died/left Emilia it would've played out a little differently.

Seeing Otto beat up Subaru was hilarious. Puck is gone now, I have no clue why he broke off the contract (other than stupid theories) but it's very much wrong. It's like the ogre story from s1, but the shittiest character ,,blue ogre" is real now.

Re:ZERO is back!

And the episode started with best boy Otto punching Subaru.

The scene with Emilia and Puck was really sad. Poor Emilia. But now she has her memories back, which could help her with the challenge.

I have to say this but little Emilia is the cutest thing ever.

Nice, let's start off Part 2 with a nice sprinkling of fucking heartbreak! I'm gonna miss Puck so much, but I guess it was a catch-22; Emilia couldn't move on without him leaving her but now she's lost her only family. I hope Subaru is up to the job of taking care of her cause it's too late to go back now that Puck is gone.

Was Emilia's memory sealed by a contract with Puck? And the Puck canceled the contract. Don't go Puck!


Smol Emillia is so cute


Puck must go so Emilia will remember everything that puck sealed.

And whala it's time Emilia to shines in character development.

Re zero is back and it never ceased to amaze me. Started off with Otto hitting Subaru XD, we got some big moments and some reveals this ep, sanctuary arc seems pretty wrapped up at this point, i can't wait for seeing it getting solved.

Otto was 5/5 this ep, i hope to see more from this guy. Emilia moments was sad, i really feel sorry for her, losing puck and all of that (loli emilia was cute XD). Subaru was 5/5 being always the goat that he is. I can't wait for Garfiel and Otto next ep.

Wednesday is my favorite day again XD.

Truer words have never been spoken well done Otto. But man Subaru's plan this time sure is ambitious. Hmm so the reason for the copies is due to lack of range via their limited energy then huh. Garfiel's situation was deeper than i thought. To think that Emilia had such a past though. Being frozen for that long must have been hard. But hard as it was at least Subaru can see the deep sense of fear that lurks within Emilia's heart. Its nice to see Puck again after so long. But man the breaking of the contract after being together for so long sure was sad and devastating to Emilia. Looks like Otto finally reveals his other face it seems. Overall an excellent ep that did well to both reintroduce us to the cast but also provide some good expansion upon the copes as well as Emilia's circumstance as well while naturally progressing the plot. Im curious though on whose plan is Otto actually moving on.

Random? Watch the episode again. Subaru talked with Puck and then we are basically told that it is so that her memory gets back to her and he definitely will have some other reason... this series does not do anything random so just wait and see.

You rate 7 after one episode? I rated 10 because I rate series mostly as a whole if there not a serious improvement or decline in the quality. But as for you, you rate as you said season separately, so why would you rate now when there is little info for you?

Alright Re:Zero 2 Part 2 is here! Coming off from Otto's punch, Subaru finally acknowledges him as an ally. And now Subaru made a bet to Roswaal, thus making their fight fair and square. For some reason, Straight Bet by Myth & Roid played as an insert song, huh.

We cut into some planning in courtesy of Subaru as he gathers more information about the Sanctuary and there are some emphasis in Emilia and Garfiel's past. Ram might potentially be an obstacle, who knows. And Garfiel is still Garfiel being unpredictable. And about time for Puck to FINALLY RETURN, only to give us the most fxed up farewell, Emilia didn't deserve that! Looks like Puck broke the contract with Emilia, and this let Emilia's past memories return to her. That past is way before the events of Frozen Bond!

Looks like Emilia went missing in the village and Otto faced a worried Garfiel as Ryuzu Shima also went MIA. I love that they played the ED theme Memento, nice one White Fox. And at the end, Subaru is going to talk with Emilia who hid herself in the Graveyard.
