I feel sorry for Ram, and that's great, Emilia-tan. You've become strong enough to lecture others.

Those rabbits again? When I saw the snow, I knew that the rabbit would come again lol


After a very serious conversation, and a teardrop, finally! Subaru managed to get Beatrice out of the library!

Holding off till official subs to make a proper judgement, because from watching the raws I felt underwhelmed, I don't think the Chapter was done justice compared to the Novels. But I'll wait for now.

Edit: Nvm, apparently the subs are out already, that's like 1 hour earlier.

Another masterful episode by WF. Roswaal’s emotional breakdown over Ram almost dying was handled very well.

Highlight of today was always going to be the choose me scene and it didn’t disappoint. The emotion that Subaru and Beako’s seiyuus brought was phenomenal. I’m shook. If I had to pick a criticism, I thought the song was a bit on the weak side, but the voice acting offset it.

Can’t wait to see their battle next week together and their arc 5/6 relationship adapted.

Only one more episode to go man, hopefully we get s3 soon. But in the meantime we got arc 7 heating up in the LN and arc 5 starting in Yen press. Exciting times.

Back into a snowstorm-filled land that Roswaal activated as the final magic before the Tome of Wisdom was lost, but Emilia remains as confident as ever to face troubles. The only person that Roswaal is now, is a broken man afraid of the unpredictable.

The only thing that stands to complete the liberation of Sanctuary: Ryuzu Shima and her role to save the person in the core crystal, and the deed is done with fulfilling promises left on the bucket list to complete with the many clones.

Just as Subaru DID confront with Roswaal before the start of the payback, Emilia is doing the exact same with him right now, even with the Great Rabbits chasing after her.

Like master like daughter, Echidna bethroning the Forbidden Library to Beatrice for the ciritical moments in time, and just as is with the replica of the Tome of Wisdom, she really has it all planned out for moments such as these. Kinda reminds me that the Forbidden Library is like the Bible's Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, only that Beatrice was the Eve that stayed in it the entire time with a singular rhyme and reason, and Subaru is the Adam to save her from her predictament, even if "that person" never showed up.

Subaru never ceases to fascinate me with the never-die spirit, even if at death's throes through the fire and the flames. He doesn't just understand, he emphasizes and sympathizes even if people doesn't think the way he does, and he's doing that with Beatrice. Never leave, never forsake one another, not for another 400 years.

Finally, with Beatrice stepping out of the Forbidden Library, only one issue stands above all else: the clearance of the Great Rabbit with Subaru's re-match. ONE MORE STEP to liberate Sanctuary!

I really want to scream right now it was absolutely incredible, Subaru is definitely one of the best protagonists ever, the scene with Beatrice and his determination is 11/10, and now he's back with her to help Emilia, it's gonna be great, I can't wait to see the next episode but on the other hand I don't want it to be finished

Oh man, Subaru's VA deserves some praise for being so passionate with his words.

That was a hell of an episode with his speech towards Beatrice. Glad to see Emilia' trial completed. I never really doubted her.

A dialogue heavy episode and it was quite emotional. I'm glad Beatrice finally listened to Subaru. That last scene with the two of them was sweet. Also Fredrica in bath towel looked hot and XD Petra slapping Otto was hilarious.

This series is seriously a masterpiece, the amount of emotion I feel while watching this is incredible, the characters, the world, the story, the animation, the soundtrack, everything about the way this show is constructed, I love it so much, nothing tops this show in my opinion, re:zero is my Personal greatest anime of all time.

What an episode. Simply amazing.

Subaru was incredible in trying to persuade Beatrice, which worked in the end. I felt the emotions in it. The VA did a great job. He definitely deserves an award for that.

Emilia taking a stand against those rabbits was great.

While the contents of the episode are very well done on an emotional level, the episode is stretched out like crazy and could easily have fit into half the run time, especially considering how packed the previous episode was and how fast the battles were, the sudden acceleration then deceleration of the pacing is jarring.

At least the rabbits are back, and as usual for this season, switch between CGI and 2D.

The bulk of this episode focuses on Beatrice and Subaru and like I said before, it was very well done, especially the voice acting, but it could have easily have been cut by half. Not saying that it should have been trimmed down, but that it stretched out longer than it needed to be.

Next episode is the grand conclusion and I hope for an epic finale of the arc. I hope it isn't just Subaru and the gang vs some CGI/2D rabbits for the whole episode.

That conversation with Beatrice was so repetitive and frustrasting, for an old as dirt spirit, she sure is an immature brat.

Aside from Subaru not dying to inhaling billion of thick smoke for ages, a great episode.

I know anime studio want to make this dramatic, but at least add abit of realism to it as far as how Subaru can deal with this type of thick smoke.
He's just a normal person, he shouldn't be running in fire place like that like it's nothing.


Also R.I.P the mansion and the library.
Roswell really lost everything.
Glad Ram survives though.

Seems like Betty has some magic that can wipe out all the rabbits in one blow.

Rewatched with subs, and it was much better. I kinda hoped for a Beako insert song but it was fine either way, it didn't quite give me the feels and emotions like the Novel did but was still a great Episode regardless.

People complaining about there being too much dialogue...We're talking 400 years of torment and suffering, the mental abuse that would rather have her burn to death in a fire than leave and break her promise. What, do they expect her to just be like oh sure okay time for me to leave why not! Yet another masterpiece of an episode, and I couldn't be more satisfied with that ending as an anime-only watcher. After the despair from the ending last week this was a much needed boost

Definitely agree with what other people have said about the conversation between Bea and Subaru being a tad too long and repetitive. Would've preferred more fleshing out of Beatrice's memories, especially regarding the Roswaal clone.

But otherwise, this was a great episode that helps reestablish what makes Subaru such a great MC, which is his ability to draw out the strength in those around him. Also its great seeing a more commanding Emilia share the spotlight. I hope they continue that moving forward.

I was very emotional attached to subaru and beatrice in this episode. Man i can't empathize with beatrice but i could understand so easily, the storytelling with the animation and dialogue was done perfectly.
"Choose me, Beatrice!
You want someone to get you out of here!
Isn't that why you always sat right in front of this door!?"
In my opinion this is the best episode of the season.

If you feel their convo was tad too long, boy I've read the web novel and this convo lasted for 50-60 pages in it. Compressing that to this was really impressive and I loved it ngl.

I didn't know that, if that's the case I completely agree with you. It's impressive on White Fox's part as the conversation still felt good even though it was, as you said, 60 pages in the WN. Thank you for letting me know!
