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.

@soesoe21 Did not change. Only Al's voice actor changed from season 1.

i love when anime has long first eps of seasons - this one does it well; having a calm first part and then dropping the harsh reality on us to set up the rest of the season. good to see my boy subaru again, also a big fan of those little cat creatures lol

Making this one 90 mins was definitely the correct decision. All that wholesomeness and then the end scene. Wow

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.

While there wasn’t much action in this episode, it effectively reintroduced the characters and set up several intriguing plot points. Given the episode’s extended runtime of an hour and a half, it allowed for many nice character interactions, which I enjoyed. Overall, it did what it needed to do, and I'm excited for what’s next!

Good that I rewatched everything just two weeks ago, feels like no time passed in between.
I liked the mainly peaceful introduction of the new city and to see the characters again.
The city is quite different and more lively than the backwaters of the first season.

archbishop of madness... and I thought that Betelgeuse was crazy XD That was so damn sick!
the power seems to be something really strange. How did she even enter the city with that mental condition of hers?

Animation quality increased, the style is more crisp and made the character design prettier or cuter.
Also from bigger distance the character design and their faces still look decent and appealing.

I'll admit it. This one pulled the wool over my eyes. Been awhile since I watched Re:Zero, and 3/4+ through this episode I was about to give up, bored. Wasn't until the last scene I realized... "Oh, right... this is Re:Zero..."

The movie sized episode was great! Adapted the WN and LN with fidelity. A bit of important context still missing for anime-only like Subaru's whip, but nothing too major.

i’m so happy re zero is back (≧▽≦)

i waited so long, episode 1 was so good! the ending was crazy🤯

im kind of sad that im watching it late but its only cuz i wanted to watch it while in my tracksuit (to mimic subaru) n i couldn’t find my pants😭 so i skipped the 2 eps that aired lol

now that ive watched the first ep n am bout to watch the second one, i must say im very glad that it the studio took their time animating an hour long episode for a highly anticipated show. i loved how it went from slice of life/comedy to the cliff hanger at the end. im so glad re zero is back (≧▽≦)

One of the worst dogpiles of s*** I've ever seen on anime. It takes FOREVER to get anywhere... and I LOVE the series. The first episode should've been two 20min episodes and that's it. It drags on, and on, and on... by the middle I was asking myself: when will this end? Please, end soon... pleeeeease, end soon...

I think what I find most striking about Re:Zero is how much thought has clearly gone into creating an amazing fantasy world with characters that we can care for and political intrigue, all of which gets masterfully sidetracked by tragedy. I'm looking forward to watching Subaru learn to carefully navigate whatever traps this arc has in store for him. I'm hoping that he actually learned to value himself as season 2 made a big deal about that, but I don't know what that might look like since his biggest strength is his return by death. Maybe his secret training has made him strong enough to take on some challenge without just dying but somehow I suspect that he and the audience will continue to be treated to the worst horrors imaginable.

This season is going to be better than the second because it will have more political intrigue and chances for Subaru to do what he did in the first season. And we are finally out of the forest and into an interesting locations with interesting characters

Waited 4 years for this and couldn't be happier with the 1H30M episode to rekindle our memories, bring our favourite characters together again... and that plot twist of horror at the end. That's Re:Zero for you.

that was longer than i expected
over 1 hour of happy meetings and lots of jokes, Emilia's fanservice and meeting many other charas apart from the Subaru'ssquad

but ofc we couldn't end on an happy note, so that death at the last second, damn
