Tbh I didn't quite get about half of the episode, all that talking about relationships between people went completely over my head. At least finally in the end he jumped back in time and now the actual season can start I hope.

@Mich666 The version I watched on Muse translated it as "Dear". I think instead of calling her daughter by name the mother used "onee-chan" as an alternative way to address her older child of the sibling. Similarly, a few second earlier Garfiel calling Rafiel "nee-chan" doesn't mean Garfiel called his own sister or he thought Rafiel is older than him. After all in Japanese the identification of the subject and the objects in a sentence depends heavily on the context.
@newluminous Yeah, saying "Dear" would be probably the best in this situation. I also understand why Garfiel was calling her nee-chan as those honorifics are generally used to address strangers younger/older than you (generally if their name is unknown). Or he could call her nee-chan as person related to her younger brother he was bringing home.

But the problem here is not with translation but rather with how her mother addressed her in the original japanese since:
a) she's her mother so she would know her name and would address her directly by Rafiel or Rafiel-chan or Rafi-chan.
b) Rafiel certainly isn't her sister as she is obviously her mother so calling her onee-chan is really weird.
c) she didn't know Fred was back until she came out (which is why she was asking the question) so in that case she definitely wouldn't address Rafiel as "(Fred's) sister" (which would be gramatically correct otherwise as unspoken part could be implied from her question).

Anyway, I might be nitpicking here but this seems like a mistake happened sometime during the production. Not sure how she addressed her in the novel.

arc 5 is a dip in quality compared to the previous arcs


@Anayan_Kashyap what in gods name are you talking about arc 5 is better than 1-3 combined
@Dragloncon not better than arc 3. You like it because of the action maybe. But arc 3 is definitely on top 3 of Re:Zero arcs. This is where It stands for me........I had a hard time Enjoying Arc 5, just after a Masterful arc 4......but I did enjoy it, it was just not the best.(Arc6>Arc4>Arc3>Arc8>Arc5>Arc7>Arc2>Arc1)

@Anayan_Kashyap Arc 3 is butchered in the anime therefore Arc 5 anime will be much better.

@Okeanix even tho I'm a web movel reader, I will always argue that Re:Zero anime is a PERFECT LIGHT NOVEL ADAPTATION (apart from 86), you can't ask for anymore. I was satisfied with what was being served. They did the BEST MOMENTS JUSTICE.
Feel free to hate on yourself. Re:Zero. Arc 3 adaptation was still on point for me.
Also, the story will exactly remain the same in arc 5. Not a big fan of fights, I like re:zero for it's narrative and introspection of the characters and their dynamics. Beautifully shown in arc 3. Arc 5 surely expands the story, but lacks the Depth that Arc 3,4 & 6 has.

@Anayan_Kashyap i like it due to the huge gap in character writing and thematic depth compared to arc 3...its not even close.

It had alot of setup things and dialogue which were not too interesting. Though ultimately this is great as we can now get straight into the action in episode 2 as opposed to having
3 more episodes of uneventful dialogue. Though it could also be said that the slower dialogue filled episode would have been more palatable as three episodes instead of one singular long slog. Weirdly enough I personally felt that certain scenes were progressing far too fast in this episode. But that might just be me. Doing a really long first episode to get the setup out of the way was the right move in my opinion. They went harder on the lolicon stuff then they usually do with the introduction of a new loli character. The end of episode fight was interesting which helped make up for all the slower buildup. I kind of miss the old more angular designs, I'm struggling to get used to Subaru's new rounded face. The design changes are fairly subtle, but still noticeable, especially if the previous seasons are fresh in your mind. Overall, the production qualities felt like a great improvement over previous season.

This episode cheered me up so much, I absolutely love seeing the cast get more and more fleshed out, especially Garfiel and Wilhem. I also love seeing the fruits of labor from Subaru, the themes of understanding and reflection is at the forefront here, it truly elevates my enjoyment of this dynamic cast and how they all view Subaru. Not to mention, the exploration of Priscilla is much appreciated, I love that she is receiving more nuance to her character, I hope to see more reveals that will recontextualize my view on her. Lastly, Sirius is already proven to be a terrifying archbishop, literally controlling people's emotions which directly contrasts what Subaru was so enraged about with Priscilla and Heinkel. The witch of wrath's cult is already proving to be a great antagonistic force to the themes of this arc so far. The build up for this theme throughout the bulk of this episode was very high quality for me, as always I'm loving Re:Zero and I can't wait to see more.

I absolutely love the interactions/dialogues in rezero. The voice actors are just perfect as usual to make it even better. All the suspense for that incredible ending. It's about to start again for Subaru.

It's good but the fact that it's been 3 years since the last season, I've forgotten most of the storyline and character. Oh yeah, this anime also has a very mind-twisting plot as well... Guess I'll have to rewatch.

Sorry, I consider the censorship of character designs for global standards to be terrorism, and if we Otaku's don't make a stand and hold the line here, it won't be long until anime loses gore and violence.

There's a reason why Tappei Nagatsuki is one of Isekai's revered authors, and White Fox at the helm going back to Season 1 levels of animation after 3 years is just so good.

This is easily the craziest, unhinged 90 mins of the premiere episode I've seen from the usual Re:Zero length for 8 years now, and despite all of the information strewn all around the episode:
- The Royal Candidates going into the Waterfall City of Priestella with everyone in tow
- The reveal of Liliana the bard
- The family melodrama of von Astraea
- The hints of the Sin Archbishops of Greed passing by Emilia, and the reveal of Sirius Romanee-Conti the Wrath (which that last 10 mins was just classic Re:Zero death)

If White Fox can maintain this for the next 6 months, Arc 5 and 6 may not surpass Season 1 for me, but it'll definitely be an improvement and a great return to form.

Being honest, the information surge during the whole of 90 mins was kinda too simple and too straight for this series. I mean it doesn't feel home until that happens which happened in the last 5 mins lol. You could literally feel something was coming when yeah, all of a sudden, people started enjoying themselves too fucking much lol. Already the first death xD

Loved the first episode, and yeah, these last few years without re zero were really kinda stale for the whole of isekai genre. Glad this is back and back for a good chunk of episodes.

This was an incredible re-introduction to the series.

The development of characters and development of the relationships was fascinating. The very slow growing of tension knowing there is no way this is a slice of life anime, and the final drop at the end had me punching in there air. Legitimately made me forget how much I liked the storytelling of this series, and let me tell you, I can't wait for the rest of this season.
