| I got the full French episode leak + the English fansub for the leaked episode, though I did manage to hold myself back up until now, just less than 24 hours before the official airing date for the first episode. Man let me just say that this episode was a blast! I recall the 1st ep of the 1st season being over 40 minutes long, double the length of an ordinary episode, but this was almost 1.5 hours long! Quadruple length of the ep! If this is actually the first episode of the 3rd season AKA 5th Arc, I can only say WELL DONE! Honestly, if there were ways in which a sequel for a story were to be played out, this episode has got to be one of the best season-opening episode that I've ever seen! There was a 1 year time skip between the events of the end of 2nd season and now, Subaru is as energetic as ever, in fact, after a year's worth of time without having to fucking die, I'd say he's in a great spot physically and mentally. And how suiting is it for the Emilia party to be invited to the Watergate city of Pristella, thus the arc has begun! I take great enjoyment in seeing Subaru's name and fame to be known far and wide the way it is now. Willhelm is right, his name spread out far further than Subaru ever thought it could and honestly, the man deserves it, more than anyone else. It's been a while since we saw all the royal candidates in one room, again, I find it wonderful that Subaru is regarded highly now, a stark contrast to how he was when they all saw him the first time, just some poor servant who snuck his way in. Bask in your merit and proof of effort Subaru! All except Priscilla have worked with Subaru as allies in the past, so seeing them and their followers interact with one another was lovely! Even Garfiel ended up having fun after being the hero to a bunch of kids lol, he doesn't need to be told anything to bask in his own fame of his own. Now then I wonder if that woman are his actual mother or just a lookalike... That one-to-one talk between Subaru and Wilhelm at night was lovely, I love the respectful relationship they both have, having Willhelp back is a great treat, and now the issue forward where Subaru would help out would be the reconciliation between Willhelm and his grandson who is none other than the current Sword Saint, Reinhard van Astrea. The next morning these two almost did get their relationship mended together as they cook daisukiyaki and listen to the morning song, only to have the wholesome atmosphere ruined by the vagabond and arrogant father of Reinhard and the egoistical Priscilla who got in uninvited, well well well... Subaru was the only one who got pissed off and raised his force in that instance, even Emilia and Felt remained composed, I understand his frustration after the breakfast interruption scene, but even if Julius did thank him for getting pissed off, he does need to control it. Although considering his humiliation in the 1st season, one could say he has grown. Re;Zero's many characters, their unique personalities and their relationships to one another are great assets in this story. It's only right that we get to see many of them utilized in this season-opening episode. All joys and laughter, a foreboding signs of conflict yet to come. And conflict we will get. We saw Regulus earlier which is the Sin Archbishop of Greed and now we even get Sirius representing as the Sin Archbishop of Wrath with her ability to seemingly control the emotions of her audience. Fucking hell what a way to end the first episode. Season 3 is gonna be an absolute banger, I'm hyped!!! |

| @ShadowkillZ This is Arc 5 btw, not highly praised Arc 6. Arc 5 is also huge banger that will surpass S1+S2 in anime but Arc 6 is peak fiction. Both will be adapted in Season 3. The first 16 episodes will be Arc 5, and the remaining 22 episodes will be Arc 6 total of 38 episodes. |

Looks like the episode has been leaked from Japan Expo in France.
Already watched. Not gonna lie, it's mid 😔
Already watched. Not gonna lie, it's mid 😔
| @18927 Ya'll call anything mid. It has a lot of good character interactions and sets up for the rest of the arc |
| Man, I have to say, I was not expecting to see so much Beatrice in this episode. Given the length, it was like a movie but also glad to see characters like Liliana and Priscilla too. Might need to watch in better quality again. It's a shame this got leaked but hey, we're getting more ReZero again. |

is the episode out now? where is it available?
| Just dropped on Crunchy. Actual good isekai is back with a 90 minutes treat that had indeed a lot going on from the usual banter to some heavier stuff. Nice to see that Subaru keeps training hard. Gotta live up to the status of a living legend, lol. He still has lots of work to do in puncto jealousy, however. And I think that Joshua looking like Julius doesn't make it that surprising that they're brothers. If anything it would more surprising if they weren't. Now Heinkel couldn't be more different than his father and son. Must've been a more graceful fellow in the past, currently he's a less pleasant alcoholic than Paul to say the least. And he got fucking bad timing. Him pulling up ruined the sweet Okoyominaki bonding moment. Unlike Wilhelm he definitely won't show earnest efforts to reconcile with his Reinhard. Garfiel also had an unexpected reunion with his mother. Liked the part where Mimi enocuraged him and him saving the children. We even had a brief appearance of Elsa in Garf's imagination. Would be cool if she sticks around like that for a while until he becomes truly strong. But the obvious highlight was Sirius performance. Up to that point I was wondering why this episode was titled Theatrical Malice. Didn't take long to notice that something was off by how uncanningly she captured her audience, especially after dragging Lusbel onto the stage. Nothing like the charming Liliana. That scene was progressively getting more intense until everyone became as insane as her. As if her manipulation ability wasn't creepy enough, the fact that Lusbel's deadly impact triggered a similar fatal injury for everyone was just crazy. Damn, Subaru's Return by Death doesn't seem to get old. Being 4 years since the last season probably helped tbh. And it makes for as good of a cliffhanger than at the end of S1's premiere over 8 years ago. Now I'm stoked for next week. That was a promising comeback episode with lots of Japanese flavor. Loved to see cast and some new characters. Liliana playing into the waifu bait aspect of the series doesn't take away from her being an enjoyable character. And it's always funny to see that someone is calling Subaru out for what he is.  I appreciate the selfawareness of Tappei. Anyway, heard great things about this arc and in particular the one after that. Not going in expecting "peak fiction" or the best arc of all time, but I hope it lives up to expectations. If it ends up blowing me away because I wasn't ready even better xD |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Absolutely Cinema, hands down whitefox |

| Great episode for everyone to get back into the ReZero world and it was 90 minutes! A full episode of good things happening leading to a cliffhanger ending is exactly what we needed. Glad I didn't just jump into watching the leak 2 months ago or I would have been impatient wanting to see more |
| It’s finally here, the long awaited water city arc. Whatever you thought you knew about re zero or how good you thought the previous two seasons were, forget it. This is where it truly becomes one of the greatest fantasy stories ever told. The fact we’re getting arc 5 and 6 back to back is just incredible. Yea, White fox nailed it. They got all the little details, the subtle hints, the intimate character moments that’ll make some of the big reveals and set pieces in this season hit hard, bra fucking o. Could not ask for a better start to this season. The animation quality, art, direction all top notch and really feels as polished as the season 1 director’s cut. If they can keep this up for 38 episodes we are in for an all time great season of anime ladies and gentlemen and I don’t mean that hyperbolically. So many great moments I could talk about this episode hours, but just highlighting my top 3, the Van Astrea family reunion was so good. You really feel the regret and pain in Wilhelm’s voice. Like my mom always says, sometimes you can be apart for so long that it’s hard to reconnect with people. Wilhelm clearly wants to be close to at least his grandson again, but he knows all the cruel shit he said to him and just doesn’t know how to move forward.. if only he knew Reinhard is dying to have that family connection again. Garfiel seeing his mom again, wow. Just as he’d kind of began moving forward sbd learning to cope with the pain, she pops right up in front of him with a whole new family. His seiyuu sold the hell out of that scene. Priscilla literally stole the show in the last 35 minutes or so. She’s such a dominating presence and I can’t wait to see her shine this season. And of course that ending, wow. The whole crowd cheering for and gassing Sirius up as she’s about to kill an innocent child is killing me tho man 😭 you just knew from the jump that situation was going to go horribly. Subaru’s seen a lot of shit, but something like that is definitely vomit worthy. Hell of an ending and speaking of which, Myth and Roid back with another banger. We’re officially back boys. Can’t fucking wait |

| PEAK!!! Re:Zero IS BACK!!! 90 minutes in the first episode was a great opening for this amazing show. Season 3 has better art and visuals than season 2 especially the ears of the characters have been fixed this season and I'm fine with the changes in some of these character designs I think White Fox has done a very good job. Subaru and Beako's relationship is very cute, it's nice to see Beako behaving like this. Emilia with a buff on her boobs is amazing and considering there is a 1 year timeskip it means that something happened during this year to Emilia who got the buff kekw. Damn Regulus makes people nervous, suddenly interrupting the fun time in this episode, Subaru didn't take long to take Emilia to leave quickly, and also hopefully fate brings them back together. It's good to see the candidates reappear in this show, I'm very curious about Priscilla's character for some reason. Reinhard and his family have tough problems too, hope Reinhard can take the rights from his father one day. Liliana's character introduction is also interesting, it looks like Liliana will get a big role this season too, hope to see more of Liliana, I love her song. Sirius, what a great character introduction, I felt like I was hypnotized too lol, I didn't expect them all to be hypnotized by her. The OST in this moment is amazing, the animation when Lusbel's face hits the ground gives me goosebumps. Return by death saves Subaru again and again, and Subaru is traumatized again and again, a very awesome first episode, can't wait for the next episode, GO GO SUBARU!!!  |

| We are so back. White Fox is the best for Re:Zero! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Oh yes, we're now back in business and characters were not late to show up. With the royal selection at hand every candidate is now at Anastasia's domain and with them their respective knights and representatives. That includes Subaru now with such a devoted relationship with Beatrice, Julius and his devoted brother, Reinhard and his grandfather Willheim and Garf whose backstory and recent relationship with Mimi came into fruition. In the case of Reinhard Priscilla even uninvited was sure to make an appearance to stir things up with his father as all of the mess he's caused. In any case, for the matter at hand, the aimed trade for the mana crystal fell through the first time due to Subaru's unexpected relationship with the bard, but they were able to meet again shortly after. While during that trade it seems like a new archbishop entered the scene and promptly killed him in a very unsettling scene of mind control. Yup, this is definitely Re:Zero and so after a movie length worthy episode the season can now start. |

| Looked pretty good as expected. Interested to see more of Liliana and the Wrath cultist. Other than that 8/10 for me so far. |
  |
| Joshua sure resembled upper society more than his bro did. Mimi and Garf sure managed to forge quite the bond. The water city sure lives up to its name with that view. The duet between them after though was fun. Nice to meet Felt and Crusch again. Always fun seeing the latter get embarrassed. The breakfast sure was joyful. The morning broadcast was a pretty neat idea. The entry of Heinkel sure messed up that perfect breakfast though. That git is an embarassement to the Astrea family. Unfortunate that this meeting had the worst of gate crashers in the form of the witch cult. That scene in the square though was beyond unsettling. But from this point on the battle against the cult begins anew. Aya Yamane is such a talented singer. She was the perfect cast for Liliana. But wow to have the opening ep be movie length really shows the faith the prod commitee has as well as the amount of budget that was earmarked for this season. |

| We are so back. This was definitely a very fire first episode back. Those last few minutes especially were just absolute cinema. I absolutely loved this a lot. |
More Beatrice, now in the main cast after being set-up at the end of S2: |
 |
| Watched the leak like a month ago but its still fire 🔥🔥🔥 Only complaint is why did they give Emilia implants this season they look kinda stupid |
| that was a lot of characters in a single episode! |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
