Hell yes, all in all so much happens there, it's crazy. bobzanny said: Once thing I've noticed upon rewatching this show, is that there's a lot of subtle foreshadowing that pays off in big ways. Like it feels every scene is contextually important. White Fox is truly outdoing themselves this year. Yes! I noticed that very early and was really surprised. It already starts with the OP & ED. It shows you a lot of different things that make you wonder but the further you get into the story, the more sense all these things make sense. Oh and there is major foreshadowing in the OP for arc 3. I also love how in the first PV you can see some of the characters appearing in arc 3 for a short moment. In the episodes themselves there is a lot of foreshadowing yes and it really takes a talented director to pull that off. He hasn't done much but at least once in your career as a director a story comes across where it just makes "click" and you are able to fully implement your creative choices. The majority of foreshadowing is places within the narrative but the fact that they were able to visualize them in such a subtle way is crazy. Hell I've already spotted foreshadowing for stuff that still has to happen in the rest of arc 2 and arc 3. |

Fappa said: DarkingDawning said: Interesting. But it doesn't seem that @DarklordVor is hyped for its ending lol. I guess that's understandable since he's obsessed with that girl. I mean Emilia looked better and kinder than Rem, but he did say he like crazy girls like Kotori. By crazy good, do you mean more crazy Rem? From the chapter 13 manga @DarklordVor posted, Then there's a higher stake, I'm thinking of more deaths for our best car Subaru. Well Basically there are so many intense moments on arc 3. I guess we'll see, since I heard that |
| Ooh my Nyantype magazine finally arrived~ It seems episode 13 is revealed on this issue:  Title: 『自称騎士ナツキ・スバル』 from arc 3 chapter 20. |

| Thanks to Winter_Firefly, he just told me that there will be a pre-screening of episode 12 in two weeks! Some people of the staff and the voice actors will watch episode 1-11 together and then jump over to episode 12 which introduces the new arc. They seem to know what awaits us in arc 3 and that it will be whole new experience. Now that's what I call advertising a new arc :D! http://re-zero-anime.jp/news/#news-80 |
| I want a spoiler |
Very nice,thanks. |
I wouldn't even call that ending sadistic. It's just bittersweet since not complete victory that is all. Nothing wrong with that. Sadistic ending would be like Fate/Zero were the entire cast save one or two died and MC ends p broken. |

Everyone went through their respective arc there wasn't any torture or prolonging the inevitable like in Re:Zero. |

| So I got bored today and decided to do something to waste my life and time lol. All of these are not really accurate, as there may some omitted scenes done by White Fox or my human errors getting these numbers. So let's just say this is an approximation, okay? Episode 1 WN: 71,922 words LN: 72,740 words Episode 2 WN: 37,205 words LN: 33,881 words Episode 3 WN: 38,316 words LN: 33,855 words Note: if you add up all the WN words I listed here, you may notice that it was slightly different from the one I listed earlier because I copied that from the Japanese wiki. The reason to this might be caused by me not including the titles, the A/N, and some human errors. It seems we're seeing a trend of 30-35k words each episode. I'm gonna see the pacing for arc 2 tomorrow when I'm bored again lol. So let's see if the pace of every episodes are actually steady. |

Just because F/Z didn't have explictly torture or had completed characters arcs does not mean did not end badly for everyone not named Wavier. Besides that doesn't matter because those things simply happened in other timelines were Subaru failed. The things happened F/Z can never be made right and nobody has the power to do so. Re:Zero isn't about defeatism or prolonging the inevaible, it's about making sure the inevitabe doesn't happen by overcoming them with few as sacrifices as possible. If wasn't Subaru would never have gotten through Arc 3 or evren Arc 1 at all. He has tough, but it's hardly hopeless. |

Well exactly F/Z story was inevitable because it already happened so there was nothing sadistic about it, Re:Zero on the other hand has an infinite number of outcomes with each loop pertaining to Subaru's consistent mental state. Things can always get worse in Re:Zero but in F/Z it was set. |

Things can always get worse in Re:Zero but in F/Z it was set. Maybe then sadistic wasn't the right word, but I don't think either fit the definition much at all anyway. Point is that unlike F/Z Re:Zero isn't a story about inevitably. Nothing could advert the tragedy that happened in F/Z partly because that was just history, but will that never case Re:Zero no matter hard it gets. Sure somethings can't be avoided sure, but ultimately it comes down to facing adversity to reach an end and not the hardship/suffering that come as byproduct of that adversity being the end point itself. So what makes the story compelling is because Subaru always works to earn everything he's got coming to him and nothing ever handed on sliver platter. |

| Episode 10 ends on chapter 46 of WN and volume 3 chapter 4 of LN. One more episode to a Rem-rin episode~ |
|
Onepieceuc1 said: From the first page arc 1 and 2 are 582000 words long and last 11 ep. So in 14 episodes we can make ~750000 words. Arc 3 is 1070000 words so 3/4 can be made theorically. But I doubt they will stop here so it's simple for me with some useless scenes less and also some parts we can cut a little and maybe 2 40 min length episode we can make it. I haven't calculate arc 2 and arc 3 LN words, because they might be shorter than the WN (note that the LN is the polished version of the WN and also the one that the anime adapted from). Episode 2-23 is definitely 20 minutes episode. Since the BD was listed with 75 minutes each volumes except volume 9. Volume 9 is the only BD that is listed with 50 minutes, so we can assume that they will extend episode 24 OR 25 to make volume 9 a 75 minutes BD like vol. 1-8. |

| So there's a chance this show is going to have an actually ending unlike some shows? Or am I completely misreading this board which could happen, it's quite late. Plus I thought the story was still on going? |
SovereignSky said: As an anime-only, is the LN/WN over or close? This is the only LN-based anime I seriously will be depressed if it doesn't finish adapting. The LN/WN is still ongoing. The WN is currently on arc 6 (on-hold) while the LN is on arc 3 (ongoing). The anime speculatively will end with the LN finishing the arc 3. Arc 4+ will be another news, but looking at Pre-order numbers (3k total), it's kind of "meh" compared to other airing anime like Kabaneri.

machixmachi said: Pre-order (3k total). what the hell is going on with japaneses (otaku) tastes? I don't want to believe.... At least, I want this series catch up Hataraku series 1 6 15,538 2013/07/03 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! 2 6 11,219 2013/08/07 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! 3 6 10,966 2013/09/04 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! 4 6 10,803 2013/10/16 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! 5 6 10,569 2013/11/06 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! 6 6 11,718 2013/12/04 Spring Hataraku Maou-sama! Yeah no joking. Re:Zero's pre-order (BD+DVD+Amazon) = 1,934 + 294 +1,105 + 196 = 3,529 sales  compared to Kabaneri's pre-order (BD+DVD+Amazon) = 2,271 + 256 + 4,772 +697 = 7,996 sales (that's more than twice of Re:Zero right now)  Kabaneri is slowly creeping up to KonoSuba's average sales while Re:Zero is probably having their budget breakeven with ~4k sales (the animation is definitely more costly than usual anime). It will be released in 18 days, so it will probably stop around ~5k to ~6k sales. Then again, since this is just amazon stalker, that means it could be 0-100% higher or lower from its pre-order prediction numbers. |

| Those are points accumulated through pre-orders. It doesn't mean those will be the final numbers for the BD/DVDs. Looking at the estimates, Re:zero's volume 1 will probably sell 6-7k or probably a bit more if it continues to perform well. DarklordVor said: Kabaneri is slowly creeping up to KonoSuba's average sales while Re:Zero is probably having their budget breakeven with ~4k sales (the animation is definitely more costly than usual anime). Better animation doesn't necessarily mean the show has a huge budget. One Punch Man had an average budget according to the chief animator of the show. You can make a good looking anime with a small number of animators if everything is timed out properly. |

| By the way, I just found out Whitefox isn't even listed in the production committee for the series lol. http://blog.livedoor.jp/anime_in/archives/57831874.html |
| Well, it's not like you can't do anything for that. If you really love the show, just buy the japanese bds. I just pre-ordered the first vol for the moment, but i will certainly pre-order the other ones soon™ The 9 volumes cost a bit less than 500 euros, that makes like 60-65 euros every month for 9 months, which is not excessive imo |

Z4k said: By the way, I just found out Whitefox isn't even listed in the production committee for the series lol. http://blog.livedoor.jp/anime_in/archives/57831874.html I heard that Re:Zero is more a Nexus show than a White Fox one lol They have some talented animators, as seen on Rakudai which was a co-production between Silver Link and Nexus. Well shit Nexus isn't listed either xD I guess the possibility of a second season will depend if the LN sell well, which is kinda the case for the moment |

Whitefox were contracted to animate Re:zero by the publishers and aren't involved in the production at all which means they won't get any of the profit made from the anime. Basically, it's now up to the publishers if they want a second season or not. |

After that it depends on the author and the production. Some authors give their ok and let the studio do their thing and other are heavily involved in the production. |

B routes are chapters that were introduced in arc 4. They were put in between chapter 129 and 130. |

| How f*cking long is Arc 3?! People are saying that in the 6th volume it's still ongoing?!?! And isn't there like 8 volumes out anyways?! That's what wikipedia says... EDIT: Reading some other comments, I like the idea of the show ending in an alternate happy ending, but subtle hinting if a second season happens. If it does happen, then it can be retconned as a dream or alternate timeline through bullshit time travel. If it doesn't happen, then we still get a happy ending with a complete and whole story. |

It's 6 volumes ( 4-9 ) and about 1 million words long. At this point is veeeeery unlikely for an original ending to happen. Firstly it wouldn't make sense for the BD preorder bonus to be this "what if" story if they didn't follow the actual ending. Another reason is that it's so illogical to alter the story about 15% into the story. It's like they put up a huge stop sign at the start of the story and this wouldn't benefit the future of the series at all. |
 Seems like the anime will definitely cover all of arc 3. Also, part of the new cast has been revealed.  Crusch: Iguchi Yuka Felix -Ferris- Argail: Horie Yui ---and rumours say: Anastasia: Ueda Kana Priscilla: Tamura Yukari Julius: Eguchi Takuya (8man...) Al: Fujiwara Keiji Nothing known about Wilhelm or Betelgeuse yet. The cast looks ridiculous af.. |
 |
| Looks really promising. Can't wait to hear the voice of Priscilla and Crusch. Curious about Ferris though lol |
|
| Ferris is going to be my new fav character I can feel it. Hehe |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| Hell yes! I'm totally satisfied with Crusche's VA. She has a wide range as she even voiced male characters. She is perfect to bring that detemined and fierceful outside as well as the feminine inside across. Glad my favorite female character gets a fitting voice. Ferris is definitely "interesting" LOL If these speculations are true then they got themselves one hell of a cast. |
