| Better than the last few episodes. Better pacing and a few good character moments here and there, though progress is still fairly slow. Roswaal getting much needed screen-time. For his plan to make sense, he clearly has to be aware of Subaru's abilities to some extent. It is a shame that his sketchy nature was always so obvious, so it isn't as much of a twist as it could have been. I didn't miss Elsa. I never found her interesting as an antagonist because she isn't motivated by anything beyond her job and her general desire for carnage. (I already ranted about it in another thread, so no point repeating more of it here.) |

If I later post anything related to that, I will most likely use a spoiler tag for that too.@mozgow I hope you don't remind them the plotpoint, it's better let them find out by themself or it will ruin the surprise. I've seen you throwing hint here and there in every episode thread. I don't mind that much since I've read both LN and WN, but you really should let them figure it out themselves. |

| Subaru was a little bit thirsty at the start of this episode lol And best girl Elsa returned hell ye, even though someone spoiled it for me. |
| The bowel cutting lady is back lol. Sayonara Subaru! |

Literally_Pride said: this is just speculation After watching the ep is it just me or does Roswell seem very similar to Subaru, after thinking about it he acts very similar to the way Subaru acted pre ep:18 as if no one else mattered but Emilia, he even seems to know more about Subaru the Subaru does self by state that he knew Subaru would rise to save Emilia.... so is Roswell a failed Subaru from another timeline?  is this foreshadowing or am i losing my sanity I'd say Betelgeuse is more similar to Subaru than Ros. Although this episode does make me think that he knows something about Subaru's ability. Either that, or he has absolutely enormous faith in Subaru for some reason. |
| Elsa is back and she killed Subaru again lol I feel bad seeing Emilia crying! I hope she can pass that test later. 5/5 |

| Elsa is back for more pain and suffering! i've seen some h-doujins of Echidna...she's yummy! GUHEHEHEHE!!! 5/5. |

swordmaster2551 said: ttcchen said: never read the LN but i see the doors open so i assume elsa found beatrice and defeated/killed her, otherwise why is elsa alive and beatrice nowhere to be seen? Not just anyone can find beatrice even by opening all the doors is what I gathered from the anime One can go around and open every door to find her. It is time-consuming, but not impossible. Subaru happens to be an exception because he can find her "quickly", while others will have a hard time going around and checking each door. |
| I hate Elsa more didn't think was possible. Hope her end is eternal suffering. |
| That look on elsa's face on the end though! Now im really getting excited for the next one, maybe a plot twist or an intense fight with the assassin? |

| After an absurdly weak drama, very common and that poses no challenge in reality, let alone a witch's challenge, we are presented with a very boring episode. Take the scene from Emília and the ending, and the episode is over. Ah, the villain's return, I even liked her in the first season, but now I was totally indifferent, I don't think it was a good choice. I am reviewing my grade for this season. |
 |
on 
| Welp, she's back. I wonder how Subaru will deal with this. Tbh the timing of his response is going to be just as difficult as season 1 to get right, so we might see some really large characterisation come from this. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Finally back to the roots of what makes this show good, it seems. In hindsight, it doesn't seem like it was a good idea to let just a few people take care of the estate, especially the sickly Rem. Good grief. |
  |
| WTF?! This episode ended just while it was starting... Why can't they release the whole season at once, huh? |
| Wow! I had totally forgotten about crazy disemboweling lady. I guess "Let It Go" isn't her theme song. Great episode! |
| Ngl, that opening line by Subaru got me lol. Even in front of Echidna, he thirsty. Then again, what else would you expect from a guy who wants to marry both Rem and Emilia? Ram being Ram as always. Severely underrated but great character. I'm so glad she's getting more screen time. I also ship her with Gar. One of the few people who appreciate her. Also, I'm gonna sound awful but Emilia's sob when she failed the 2nd time was adorable. Elsa gave us a gutsy ending. |
| 臭い- |
memogui said: Why did it teleport Subaru?Can someone explain the whole Frederica stone situation for me? I feel like I missed that part If I remember correctly it will be explained later. Why did Frederica give it to Emilia? It has already been hinted and will be explained later, if I remember correctly. But if you want to know, here is the answer |

| @Slences I rephrased the answer. I hope it's not as bad as it was before. I'll try to be more careful with my answers from now on. |
|
| Ey Boobs are back... I mean, Frozen MC is back... I mean, that bitch Elsa is back! Also, Subaru died. What a shocker! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Dont know why my dumbass thought it was Echidna that killed Subaru in the end when a flap of her dress showed up, only realized it was Elsa when the tits started poppin out, I mean Echidna is bae but Elsa is literal MILF material. That aside Subaru died finally! Now onwards to more mystery and suffering, wonder where his starting point is now. Lots of Emilia moments and Roswal! Im starting to really like Ram a lot more than Rem for some reason. |
  |
| Emillia's as useless as usual, she should get a grip already ffs. Even without Rem around she can't get into the main heroine role sadly and here I was hoping to see her character development. Echidna was looking pretty in school outfit, really wanna see more of her. Also lol Subaru dead for the umpteenth time. |

| Another crazy episode as always xD Subaru passed through the trial by being himself, some of the answers he gave to the witch... what a goat! To be honest, this ship between Subaru x Emilia has been great so far, it feels like Emilia is starting to develop some feelings, this was definitely a great moment. The whole episode had many great scenes with them together.  Still, don't try to full us, it doesn't matter how much you try, we know who the best girl is. The whole testing thing, it's obvious that Subaru believes in Emilia but it's also obvious that it will be him who will pass the trials, there isn't anyone who is mentally stronger than Subaru. Roswall is crazy! So he's the one behind all of the Witch's Cult attacks? wtf! I mean he explained why he did it but f that, that's some bs. And that ending...oh boy, more suffering for Subaru. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Well shit, crazy bitch is back and it only took one season for her to come back. Also holy shit, do I even want to know what happened to Emilia? Whatever the fuck happened in her past must be really fucked up. As for Roswal some how I'm not surprised he is an extremely lawful evil person. Using Subaru to get what he wanted? Shitty move and the worst part is no one knows how much Subaru had to suffer to get where he is at. But regardless looks like the suffering is about to start all over again wonder how he's going to figure out how to stop crazy bitch. |
| THE ONE WHO HAS SEEN THE TRUTH AND MASTERED TIME |
| Okay I probably missed something, can someone explain how Frederica left the Sanctuary when normally those with mixed blood can't? And what's the deal with the glowing stone? I thought Emilia passed out in ep 3 because she was close to the barrier, but now they were talking as if the stone caused it. |
 |
| I really don't get how season 1 could be so good with interesting episodes every week, at least as far as I can remember, and season 2 has been such a disappointment, like even car-kun death was kinda meh, I guess it's time to die now for some reason. Mansion dude plan was whatever, he looked way smarter than that but I guess that this is what we got. No one actually cares about white hair girl except the die hard fan of the series and The Nanatsu no Taizai that want to murder her to death for some reason. The other white hair girl had potential with her abilities, she came as a cool character and in less than 3 episodes everything went to waste, she was supposed to be thirst for knowledge, she meets car-kun and didn't make him a single fucking question about his past, about him coming from another world? His power? All she could say after reading the memories of a fucking alien was "you wanna hit me don't you?" give me a fucking break. Library girl is like one of the few interesting character left and that's only because the anime didn't had time to spoil her, yet. Oh and we have the flying cat dude looks nice too can't wait to see how this show is gonna ruin him too. Like don't get me wrong or do, I wanna like this season, because I really really really liked everything about season 1, but so far this season has been average. The only reason I'm watching this show now is to find out about car kun powers, where it came and why he has it, everything else can burn and have an horrible death, at least it will be entertaining I guess. 3/5 |

You have to wait for a pretty long time for getting any concrete answers to those things (assuming we even get to the point of sequel seasons). Even the source material hasn't completely explored that stage yet. |
Planas said: Mansion dude plan was whatever, he looked way smarter than that but I guess that this is what we got. But he's way smarter than that :thinking: No one actually cares about white hair girl except the die hard fan of the series Well she will get quite a bit of development in the other half of the season, this winter. Those who care about her are either those who like her character more since season 1 or read the source material up to the second half of arc IV. The other white hair girl had potential with her abilities, she came as a cool character and in less than 3 episodes everything went to waste, she was supposed to be thirst for knowledge, she meets car-kun and didn't make him a single fucking question about his past, about him coming from another world? His power? All she could say after reading the memories of a fucking alien was "you wanna hit me don't you?" give me a fucking break. We obviously haven't seen everything about her. Library girl is like one of the few interesting character left and that's only because the anime didn't had time to spoil her, yet. I really only liked Beatrice after she got some development. I couldn't care less for her if she was just a loli tsundere. All in all, you'll probably like season 2 better once more is said about all these characters. Heck, even Elsa will get her development at some point. Re:Zero is a long story and it will take some time for everything to be explained. Until then, let's hope you enjoy the small hints carefully placed in every bit of dialogue. |
| Roswaal always seemed sorta shady, and the fact that he knew what was going on proves it. Emilia instinctively grabbed Subaru's arm, that's cute. Yoooo, Elsa's back and ready to hack, slice, and dice into anyone's tummy. |
 |
| next episode should be dope. I wonder how far back in time he'll go |
Haunt-Me said: If you're interested, it's in the PV for the next episode.I wonder how far back in time he'll go |
|
| Welp, he died. About time. I was too used seeing him alive xD Let's hope the "save point" is not too far behind... Intestines? Low quality? I didn't know these episode came in different versions already ._. |
| bruh |
FullyCharged said: Intestines? Low quality? I didn't know these episode came in different versions already ._. At the end of the episode, Subaru falls on the ground because he stumbles on his intestines as he didn't know Elsa sliced him open. Low quality is most likely a reference to lower resolutions because of poor internet connection. |
