Mich666 said: What a fail of the OP, its animation was pretty horrible. And nonexistent ED too. Low budget perhaps? Other than that it was good episode, at least proved they can utilize time leap element pretty well. I also liked the scene where MC reunited with Elsa and the ending climax also wasn't half bad. Wonder how they will do next time, it would be great if they had one longer part without death, only to show the great loss of everying he worked towards. But this was certainly WTF dialogue as MC clearly didn't saved his daughter this time.  (or was he implying he saved her offscreen? cause that would be pretty lame execution -edit: and it seems poster before me was faster.. still, that only proves a] really bad failure of script supervisor (more probable) or b] something fishy is going on) I thought the OP was great. Since the static animation of these characters looked almost the same how Steins;Gate OP did it. Heck I think they put more budget animation in this OP than in Steins;Gate. It was Satella who saved the kid. You can see at the end scene of episode 2 that Satella was using the flower pin she received from the kid back in episode 1. |

m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: The opening scene and OP explains a lot of what mechanically is happening. There are multiple Subarus in this world. Each time Subaru dies, he is replanted back to where he first appeared in this world, and a new Subaru timeline begins that lays on top of the others. Felt and other guy were killed because of Subraru's interference in timeline2; Silver elf girl told him her name was "Stella" in timeline1 because Subaru mistakenly called her that just minutes before in timeline3. hmm but it looks like this timeline is a little different than the last 3. Silver elf girl made it to the loot house before Elsa. It is very possible that subaru is wrong about the nature of his power, but this doesn't make sense. How could subaru's actions in timeline 2 effect timeline 1 when they haven't happened yet. The first thing in the op is a dead subaru going back in time so all of the subaru clones are just him from timelines where he died. The op was fucking amazing btw (even if the song was eh the visuals more than made up for it). |

gust11 said: As the others above me have said and/or quoted, the merchant guy was saying that some other broke person helped his daughter (and we could thus infer) that Satella (who mentions that she is broke in the first episode) still ended up helping his daughter even without Subaru there. Oh, right, now I see it, when I read "a kid" I just didn't image her being one there (thought she was slightly older to be called such). And here I was already thinking about multiple Subarus moving around the town :D Thanks! But it seems this was spelled out better in manga:  Also, no wonder "Sattella" got earlier to the shop as there was no MC to take care of this time and she handled those three thieves a lot faster with multitude ice (scorched wall) and no collaterals (Subaru) around. |

| This is some good stuff content wise. Yet, I really just want to say that murderous chick is next level hot, there's something about such sophistication, style and competence about her that gets me despite her being so homicidal. |
| Jaywalker. |
| Oh opening and ending are amazing, especially ending but that's just me. So, they have introduced a next character Reinhart, who will probably play ?major? role in this show. I wonder if he could beat Elsa, I mean he gives impression of being really skilled figher. Umm Felt reminded me of Mayoi from Bakemonogatari when she bit MC's finger. I expected Elsa instead of Satella at the end. Maybe she will have arrived before their transaction is complete, who knows :p As anime watcher only, I think that the pacing was adequate. Looking forward to the next episode. 5/5. |

Lol yeah Subaru clones all dying in random places around town would make for a great show xD Yeah I agree when I read it in the manga it was fairly straightforward as opposed to the somewhat implied version. I guess that realization as to who the broke kid is clicks for some people and for others it doesn't. Yeah there's that, but don't forget that Subaru told Reinhard to tell Satella not to come to the loot house and that he would get her item back for her. Reinhard pretty much passed the message on and Satella ignored Subaru's message and went to the loot house anyways. In the earlier timelines she had no way of knowing where Felt would take the insignia, however in this timeline because Subaru's message actually inadvertently told her where her insignia would be, she got there earlier. Also, Reinhard is a beast ignore the words of this Re:Zero manga reader |

Note the differences below (for those who are confused whether Subaru helped the man's daughter): What you thought was said: A broke kid like you just helped my daughter after she got lost earlier. >> Implying the broke kid is Subaru. What was actually said: A broke kid, like you, just helped my daughter after she got lost earlier. >> Implying a kid similarly broke as Subaru (which was later reveled to be Emilia i.e. Fake Satella). There is a reason the commas are there in that sentence. I hope it helps. |

Well, I guess I acutally like this flower-implied version, the real problem is that in manga you get the answer right away whereas in anime you are left in the dark for another 15 more minutes until the end of the episode. And when you think about it, getting all clues and informations right away can be key difference here, especially since this is an anime where you have to think fast about all his previous tries and do this pretty much constantly. You can't just stop and read the line again like in novel or manga here. Not that it matters much now as the flower implication was quite comprehensible but this could get more confusing in getting whole picture later if they keep omitting some other clues. |

There is a reason the commas are there in that sentence. I hope it helps. Thanks for clearing that up! I was confused too. I enjoyed episode 2 just as much as I enjoyed the first one. Great stuff. I feel that the guard that Subaru met in an alley is going to be crucial for having some form of protection; at least in the future. Now the question is will Subaru be able to save all three of them and survive in this current state. |

| decent episode i was also confused thinking Subaru was already overlapping himself but the only reason i didn't read into it to much was because the merchant would of said something like a addressing him as the one that found her already, it's just killing me how slow he is on picking up on this stuff. Op is good but man i'm loving that ED |

There is a reason the commas are there in that sentence. I hope it helps. Wow didn't even think about the commas xD I was less observant than you and naturally assumed that it was Emilia Satella due to the prior episode in which she said "I'm don't have any money on me either" or something else along those lines, in which case the only two people that we knew were broke at that point were Subaru and Emilia Satella. Although I do think it should have been pretty heavily implied just from the context. |

I mean how would people know the difference in actual conversation if commas are the deciding factor? The pause in the sentence, perhaps. The word to word replacement with no structure would be along the following line: Just a while back — similar to you a broke (note that he didn't mention whether the broke was a kid or a grown up or an old man or anything) — lost daughter of mine was helped by — somewhat as you see. While it make sense to pick from the context, many didn't. It may go unnoticed and thus the confusion. Dunno, maybe they could better structure the sentence? |

| This episode wasn't as exciting as the last one but at least we're finally seeing Subaru realize he's respawning each time he dies. Felt is growing on me, but I'm glad to see that Emilia is back next episode. I really hope they do some character development on her next episode! |
Strident said: Subaru on the other hand got sent back in time. He was given several incidents of deja vu, and is self aware. But he needed to die 3 times before he could put two and two together, and that's just inept. However, from the motion of the events in Re:Zero, we saw that Subaru only remembers a little bit from the flashbacks probably due to the shock he had as seen in 1B when he can't hear clearly the Apple seller. So he shrugged it off as a hallucination or he can't remember what happened on that night. |

Strident said: but regardless of however many suspicions you may have, you would be forced to accept the reality of the situation and write it off as an electronics issue. It is much easier to believe Okabe's handling of the situation as a result. Subaru on the other hand got sent back in time. He was given several incidents of deja vu, and is self aware. But he needed to die 3 times before he could put two and two together, and that's just inept. You can only be forced to accept something when there is irrefutable proof you can believe, both Okabe and Subaru had to acquire one in their own to understand their situation. Which Subarru just did now in beginning of the 2nd episode hours into the story. So arguing about this like he's still disbelief is beyond pointless and pedantic. |

Off Topic: Of all the time leap anime I have seen, I think one of the best was Zetsuen no Tempest that dealt with time paradox exceptionally well. Those who haven't seen it should give it a try. One of the worst I have seen is Boke Dake, which I think many of you have already seen. So I will just stop here before I derail from the actual discussion. The only thing that really irked me are the CG bystanders. I will never be able to warm up to CGs unless they are really fluid and not robotic. |

All he was own memories as evidence which could have been all hallucination or deja vu to begin with give how absurd the whole situation is. Besides if he were truly dumb as you said he still be this in completely unaware of his ability even now wouldn't be making any decisive decisions.

| Was looking forward to the ED after hearing the teaser last episode and I am glad it's really good. OST cant come faster! Good episode, it'll probably be tedious for MC to rebuild his acquaintance with "Satella" but look forward to seeing how he goes around it this time. |
mozgow said: jirachi3x said: I think he is there too. Why would she otherwise left an empty space to her right?Op and Ed are great. Amazing episode of re zero. I was wondering how Satella found out about the loot house in this time line. I have a feeling it was the red hair guy that told her not to go there so she went there  I haven't read the manga, but did you hear what the appa guy said on the second encounter? (of that life) That there was another guy who looked just like him that helped find his lost daughter. That was like his first life there. So there might be multiples of his previous selves running around. And at the end of the first life, he did ask Satella to wait outside. I think that time caught up to them and "adjusted" to him already being in the loot house. That or the Red Haired guy told Satella the opposite information? |

The implication is that a broke kid, like Subaru (that is, they both broke), helped the ringa stand owner's daughter. That is, Satella, who is broke, helped the stand owner's daughter right before Subaru came back. |
