A great start to the third season. That last scene was so scary. I knew something like that's gonna happen but it still felt so scary. Very creepy. Great direction there. Subaru is traumatized once again. Can't wait for more.

One of the worst episodes of anime I seen, and considering it was triple the length of time of most episodes, it probably takes number one. Why is half the cast infamous for ear piercing voices? Why is the dialogue so cookie cutter? And why was this episode a waste of 85 minutes with the only plot extension being the last 5 minutes? Cause **** em, thats why.

Amazing episode as always :)

The Subaru/Beako relationship is just too cute, it feels wrong that this show made me feel happy

Nice to see the side characters return since we haven't seen them since the start of season 2 (Assuming they appeared in season 2 at all)

Subaru rapping gave me Hikigaya Oregairu flashbacks (In a good way)

idk why I thought Reinhard and Wilhelm were related before this but I guess it's canon now

I had a suspicion that something was off since this episode was a but too happy. That ending did NOT dissapoint

5/5 episode can't wait to see Subaru suffer some more! (Though I don't know how I can wait another week)

Let the voice of love take you higher!

1999, bizarre summer!

So Sirius' power allows her to mind control entire groups of people if when they listen to her "speeches"? Subaru's got a lot of work cut out for him in order to deal with the witch cult in this arc...

PEAK IS BACK!!
Normalizing 90 minutes first episode for Anime!!

A lot of characters building of peoples we known from previous episode.
But damn i wasn't ready for Wilhelm and Reinhard family reveal, and also the GOAT himself Kenjiro Tsuda voicing Reinhard father?

Of course it's not Re:Zero if there is no fuckery going on.

That ending, once again Subaru is suffering.
There you go, this is Subaru i am familiar with, he can't be happy lol

Bro I love Re Zero but 80 minutes of non-stop yapping is just criminal... I mean sure, dialogues are well written and I really like most of these characters, sets up important dynamics for the future but it was hard to sit through. It's just "lore dump" after "flashback" after "remember it's going to be important later".

Episode is carried by the ending entirely. Still- White Fox are GOATS by delivering 90 min long first episode, my issue is mostly with the LN- it should be fine in book format, but it's too boring for 1,5 hour movie. At least we can get all of this out of the way early.

Really good return to the series, but WOW Crunchyroll really missed with their subs. There's a good handful of inaccuracies and generally rough translations that could've easily been caught by just saying them out loud a few times and thinking about how it actually sounds grammatically. I really do hope they step up their subs in the episodes to come

@TheMangaManiac A necessary sacrifice for the greater good of watcher enjoyment, because imagine if it were spread across 4 episodes
then the complaints would have been through the roof about it being boring, slow-paced and meh premier for a series after 3-4 years. The next episode and beyond should be great and damn ngl, I did not expect this many people to like Sirius's villainy in the anime, they really did her justice huh.

After watching HALF of the movie, i mean, first episode:

- THANK GOD Re:Zero is not a comedy-SOL, because the author is just horrible doing this.


I love Re:Zero but again I asked myself: WHY? Then I remember: oh, it's because of the part of the story where shit gets real.


But before that happens, come on! The jokes and gags are all forced, out of place, Subaru is annoying, the comical characters (Otto, Garf, the little furry, the Bard girl) just amplify the annoyance.

Emilia is bland as ever, but compared to the others she is a relief.

The only one i could give some praise is Beako after becoming Subaru's pokemon. Once she was just 100% annoying, but now that she is being friendly, but still sarcastic, omg, waaay better.

Now let me watch the other half, and i'm rooting for the 1st tragedy.

Muse Asia dropped the first episode just around yesterday.

Great episode! I love the SoL in it.

But it suddenly turned dark... as always.

Emilia bumped into an archbishop, then Subaru got killed by another one. That was horrifying.

I'd really love it if each episode is 1 hour of time ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜–

I don't have a lot of time, so...
P.S. Their outfits and designs are as lovely as ever. Emilia's bathrobe was also lovely... (hoh, there's no bath scene...)

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

9.01 for this? Are rezero fans okay in the head? This is what they consider the peak of the series? A 90 minute fanservice reunion special where nothing happens except the last five minutes?

It was smart of them to merge the first four episodes into a single special. Just imagine if you had to sit through FOUR weeks of nothing happening except old characters getting together and Subaru acting like insufferable cringelord. This would have been the absolute low point of the series, yet people rated it higher than any other rezero season or movie.

@Yang_Wenli I have to agree there, Subaru is indeed an insufferable cringelord, I do like him when he gets serious and get shit done but this usually happens after a couple of episodes, at the beginning of every season I have to endure that Subaru cringefest which drives me nuts so I'm glad this episode combined 3-4 episodes together because I wouldn't have the patience to endure Subaru for 3-4 weeks straight like this.

And yeah, the rating is inflated, this is a nice anime but it doesn't deserve this rating in just 1 episode.

After being up to date with the web novel and going through half the side stories, finally getting a season 3 brings me so much happiness. I couldn't ask for anything more after this movie-like first episode. Am i biased? Yes, all of the bias. Just watch this show ffs

Baffled at the score this has here. I know sequel bias is at play here but even so come on.... The first 2/3 of the episode was boring, endless dialogue and introducing or reintroducing characters that may or may not end up being relevant at the end of the story. There's too many of them for sure and half of them are too campy or over the top. And well, Subaru is still the same old Subaru. He's always gong to be a bit of cringefest .
Yes, the ending delivered in spades, but that was like 5 minutes of goodness in a 90 minute package.
