Hm. I'm a fan of Re Zero, but I found the episode weak this time. The fight between Subaru, Sirius and Regulus could have been better. They cut a lot of lines (I'm not talking about Regulus's lines haha) and it was completely different from what was shown in the novel. I think I'll drop it and wait to release this first half completely.
@And4rilho They only cut a few key lines, everything else was the exact same to the novel. It's unrealistic to expect more unless they extended the episode, but everything else from the fight was adapted exactly as described

Is it just me, or should we actually be worried that the episodes are shorter now? The last episode adapted 107 pages in a 23:40 episode which had both the Op and the ED. miraculously, nothing substantial got cut. But I'm worried about this episode, since this one adapted about 130 pages (I think?). Help me with this my LN reader comrades. What got cut and what stayed? Do y'all think the pacing seems a bit too fast, or is it bcuz of the pure adrenaline and shock factor for the arc?


(I'm not hating on this episode. Just genuinely curious about the adaptation style since the director from the previous two episodes changed for this season.)

(But boy the episode was EPIC!! the animation, voice acting, and EVERYTHING was perfect!)

P.S. I'm unable to get on the Capella simp train yet. Since we only saw a small section of her (not even the face). And pardon me my lads, it's just that I like Crusch-sama, Rem, n Priscilla more (since I know way more about them than I know about Capella).

The anime re-ordered few scenes so that the narrative is more "linear". Archbishop rants and fights shortened, Beako mana drain reason not properly explained, deeper Garf-Mimi interactions cut, etc.

And there some "odd indulgences" Like explanation of EMM that could have been done in the Hajimeru Break time.

@And4rilho They could've just skipped the OP to include more I agree. The fight feels so short
@DirtyOldGuy it isn't even supposed to be a fight. Regulus is infinitely stronger than Sirius and the Subaru-Betty-Combo

So we’re going archbishop for archbishop in this one. Great episode, went by really fast felt like a few scenes were kinda rushed but overall still really liked it. It’s nice to consistently get the OP in a re zero season too after barely seeing it in season 2 lol.

The showdown in the square with Sirius, Regulus and Subaru was dope. Their names both reflecting stars who are the center of their constellations is a cool nod to them being so ideologically opposed and being representative of a particular sin within the witch’s cult. They’re like opposite ends of the insanity spectrum and the poor residents of Pristella caught in the middle. Seeing that injury to Subaru animated was ruff yikes, bro lost half the meat on his leg

But the highlight of this ep is no doubt the Garf and Mimi rooftop scene. Absolutely gut wrenching. To live your life thinking your mom’s dead and then find her after all this time and she doesn’t remember you AND has started another feeling.. there’s no words. It’s worse than death, it’s being forgotten that really stings. You kinda get an indication that the mom might remember a little.. in spirit anyway. She knows the tea garfiel likes and then she chases after him on the bridge.

And if things weren’t bad enough there’s ANOTHER sin archbishop. Yuki Aoi doing an amazing job already with Capella. Anime onlies should see now why this is regarded as the best RZ arc. This is gonna be amazing.

@Nerfi29 Seems like some people didn't watch the previous seasons/watching with their eyes closed. Or maybe just too much watching anime with invincible badass character.

Gotta say that i can never get bored of the OP considering the strong vocals and the visuals. Damm Lye what a way to enter the narrative. As first strikes go the archbishops sure did a great job. Mimi sure can be quite perceptive at times. Loved the bonding between Mimi and Garf though. Beatrice sure ended up being the one that held things together. Sounds like the witch cult has the town in checkmate. Overall a very balanced ep that featured a good blend of action, character intros and narrative progression that set things up for the many upcoming fights this season.

@Tomoego rewatch season 2. One of the major points during that season was for Subaru to value his humanity more.

Man what a episode that was amazing, This will easily go down as my favourite season and man Garf is a chad for helping his Mother despite everything im a sucker for amnesia stories. Literally every Sin is here this is ridiculous, I need Subaru to talk with Gluttony or maybe realise that Regulus was there when Rem got attacked.

Its funny that Regulus actually seems like a super nice dude, Like just be polite and your chilling. I mean like I swear he only ever attacked anyone we saw him with because they were rude lmao

U know I was wondering when wed see Lust's sin and hell I guess I got my answer.

Interestingly some people where theorizing that Sirius is Fortuna which i mean makes sense kinda. She loves Pelteguese and hates Emilia who she may see as Satella considering Pelteguese joined the witch's cult to idk worship Satella or whatever tf they do. (this is just theorizing don't hate the anime only)


So just to note this down as an anime only this is the status of all archbishops (just to clear my thoughts)

Pelteguese (Sloth) - Dead

Regulus (Greed) - Alive and vibing

(Pride) - Not filled

Capella (Lust) - Also alive and vibing, Interestingly with her apparently she was censored for the anime so im curious to see what she actually looks like.

Lye (Gluttony) - Vibing and Alive

Sirius (wrath) - Alive and Angry

(Envy) - unknown, But im guessing maybe the seat isn't filled considering that's Satella's sin

The archbishops of gluttony and lust showed up, emilia is kidnapped, and the woman garfiel met seems to actually be his own mother who has lost her memory.

You know, when that blast through Subaru's leg happened I thought "oh no, was this just an multiple episodes long loop" but it seems like it keeps going both from his side, Otto's side and Garf's side aka Gorgeous Tiger. It's sad to see him like this but it's good that his beloved Mimi was there for him to have a shoulder to cry on. Archbishop are really weird and having 4 of them at once it certainly going to be a tricky challenge.

I'm not sure what I should think about this episode. It wasn't bad, but It also wasn't good. I thought Subaru would do what he always does, just kill himself and start everything from the beginning. It's the essence of this series! When he fails, he restarts. It was so much strange and uncomfortable to see how bad guy just takes Emilia and leaves. What was that?! The first two episodes were perfect, but now, I'm afraid It could have lost his original vibe. I hope I'm wrong.

This episode was a pretty good follow up to last episode ,while also building up well for the next one . So hyped to see how this arc plays out with how many villains there are it's hard to guess how it goes and how Subaru's character develops from here it looks like such an interesting arc . I love the OP and art this season stands out so much I love it . Loved the Garfield moment with his Mom and looking forward to him helping her find her family

He never killed himself, apart from that one time at the beginning of Season 2 and after Rem died from the curse. The way you're saying that indicates that you haven't understood the purpose of the second season at all lol

Regeulus is him.
Despite being the worst piece of shit I really enjoy seeing him. Everyone assosiated with greed is guaranteed to be great. Also good job Subaru & Beako for getting a clean hit on him.
Huge achivement.

And survived deathless considering what they were up against again well done. Only suffering leg injury to Subaru and mana depletion for Beatrice. I am pretty sure it won't be another Rem case. Oh Emilia got taken as well.

Also comedy in Re:zero. Seeing Subaru's invisible providence made wrath think he is Betelguse. That entire three way back and forth between three of was really hilarious. Even Regeulus took shots at her stupidity lmao.

Garfield part was genuinely sad. After years of suffering when he finally made peace with her mother's loss, only to see her again and then find out she lost her memories. It's not easy to be Garf. Garf needs love and support, good job Mimi.
Good emotional rooftop scene
loved that.

Archbishop of Lust straight up calling every meatscraps huh. Simping is pending for now.
Four sin archbishop four towers. Only one Reinhardt. Will be interesting and many Subaru deathloops. Brilliant start to the season by far started the best way compared to earlier two.

So, we got introduced more Archbishops, I wonder where is the rest?

With the way everything is presented, it's more and more reminds me of a video game. There are 4 bosses you need to defeat in order to progress, 4 Towers to capture. If you lose, you just load a checkpoint, but you can't restart the level.

Subaru tried his best there but couldn't get Emilia back.
It was interesting seeing the 2 Archbishop go at it for a bit, could happen again later.
I really liked the moments Garf had with his Family.
Very serious stuff now with 4 Sins trying to find this unknown witch.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

...this is solid stuff, and I don't D-ride or hate on any series; waste of time and energy IMO.

Kind of annoying tho, that whenever a new ep comes out, 6 or 7 "nothing" threads pop up; where only 1 or 2 would suffice, but whatever. This IS must-see media, so I guess I understand the fanfare and delirium; but THIS thread is the real one. 🙏 So some quick thoughts on the product:

Ep 1, re-introducing characters from first season, as well as some new ppl(Liliana, Reinhardt's dad, etc.), as well as the enormous city of Priestella and Royal Selection politics: This was excellent use of the generous time allotted. The ending just brought back that great dreadful feeling that we all know.

Ep 2, smashed on with intensity too. Ep 3's split halves; concentrating on Regulus/Subaru first, then Garf and Mimi's travels was gravy train. Lovin' the hallucinations of Elsa as well; she's just too massive to be forgotten.

We-Are-In... THE berry patch this season folks. 🐸🚀🌌

Alright, so this episode was mainly focused on Garfiel. I really enjoyed the exposition at the end, they cut the ending (typical Re:Zero), so that was nice. The portion with Beako being unconscious seems like it’ll be difficult to resolve, overall a truly spectacular episode! (Yes, the Garfiel scenes were peak)
