Well this season 2 part 1 was nowhere as good as season 1 but it's still very good cause the plot still confuses me or it just feels slower but hey maybe that's just me. Hope the 2nd part will be somewhat better compared to this one.

An odd season...but I suppose since things were more basic and purely physical in season 1, it makes sense how much more mental and psychological things got by season 2...I MISS PETELGEUSE ROMANI KONJI T<T HE WAS FUNNY

"As far as I'm concerned, every single one of you is a monster beyond comprehension..."

- Subaru, after all the witches just helped him (AGAIN).

Seriously, this is why I'm starting to hate him. He treats nearly everyone like crap, despite their words or actions, yet he claims he's trying to go out & "save" them all. You've got the hots for Emilia & Rem, so they get treated differently. Everyone else is just a tool or someone he can take or leave when they're valuable.

After rewatching this season, I haven't seen any of these witches be "monsters" towards him. The closest one came was Satella hurting his friends in one timeline. Aside from that, they've all tried to help him or offer him help, and he just throws it back in their faces even when HE'S THE ONE CALLING OUT TO THEM FOR HELP!

It's like just because they're called "witches," he feels entitled to treating them like sh*t. It's so annoying.

I didn’t expect Satella to be the one to knock some sense into Subaru, but in hindsight, it was obvious from the start. People often assume that self-sacrifice is justified if it’s for the sake of others, but that’s not always the case. Loving ourselves is one way to repay someone’s love. Damn, this show is so good. I don’t even know anymore what’s right and wrong, or who’s good and who’s bad. Definitely a 10/10 show.

Excellent episode, more than a tea party it was a therapy session and torture at the same time, I like that each witch has her reason to help Subaru and that the result is something simple but I don't know if it's something easy to do/achieve...love yourself, the jealousy witch is looking to die ? but he's going to save her ? like the first episode.... mmm now I'm considering a bit more my theory that Subaru caused this by somehow affecting space-time, but I don't know how to explain it so it must just be crazy ideas I have.
I didn't remember but with the current data it was OBVIOUS that Roswaal had high probabilities of being the one who is provoking the attack to the mansion, it's incredible what he is willing to do to achieve his goals, another very good selfish character although in this anime there are many haha

PS: Excellent first part, as I mentioned it can be somewhat repetitive because it seems that the plot does not advance haha and overwhelming by the amount of information they give you but still I love it but nothing beats the first season

First season was better, it is surprising that the rating is higher.
I would enjoy the story much more if Barusu was a bit less obnoxious.

Satella confronts Subaru and tells him to love himself more. Subaru realizes that Roswaal is a madman and tries to flee. Otto stops him and gets him to rely on others for help.

Back at the beginning, when Roswaal was introduced I knew he was a bad guy. It was furthered by him checking on "progress" with Rom. Then when his shirt was shown from chest down in a quick shot when they started battling the Witch's Cult it became pretty obvious.

And this episode finally confirmed it.

Looking forward to see how Subaru gets past all the dumb shit he did in the next part of season 2. Not asking Beatrice the question and saying Roswell is him, not spending time refining his fighting and magic use while utilizing Return from Death, not expanding options to gather intel and using Return from Death, and never pressing those he does talk to for more information right away. Splitting his questions between like 4 deaths is just dumb because people who are opening up about stuff just see his questions further down the line as out of nowhere and him as an either a moron or a lucky guesser.

And with this episode, Satella and Roswaal are my new favorite Re:Zero characters. This mindfuck of an anime keeps carving out new layers with every episode. Is the Sanctuary arc actually better than arc 3?

part 2 lets fucking go

This season was a total disappointment. 13 more episodes just for Subaru to still be a little whiny bitch by the end of it. Not to mention all 13 episodes focused on Sanctuary and the Trials which were extremely boring. People that say Subaru has great character development are straight lying to themselves. I genuinely cannot stand Subaru. Overall I thought the first season was very good at an 8/10 rating but this season was a snoozefest that led to more crying and whining by the little bitch mc. 5/10

The way Satella's love directly mirrors Subaru's relationship with Emilia is haunting. It really is. It reminds me of the argument that they had post-Julius beatdown. His love is just as confounding, and confusing, just as scary as the Witch's. It's genuinely haunting in its portrayal, but deep down, I know the two aren't very different at all.

I love the core themes of this show. The questions asked like "What is my place? What is the point of suffering? Can I truly save the ones I love? Can I trust myself to protect them, no matter what? How can I love myself when I'm so no-good, dirty, rotten & vile?" are extremely resonant. I love the way Tappei Nagatsuki uses RBD (an allegory for ego death) as a way to explore these concepts. It's very similar to Eva. There are many parallels to be drawn there, but chiefly Shinji's breakdowns & the resounding finale of that show. Subaru goes through it too, but on a much higher frequency, and the drama & tension that ensues...? It had me crying, laughing. A whole host of emotions.

Last episode when Rem (though really the Lust Witch) appeared again, I literally reached out & grasped onto my monitor. I've never ever once done that, not in my life with any fictional media. It's so cathartic when Subaru finally gets his happy ending. When he gets the love & support from the people he's killed himself for over & over. Rem's unconditional love is for the ages. This show made me sob, it made me laugh, it made me happy & sad. I don't mind that Subaru is dumb & sometimes a shithead. You can always see his side. You can see the other parties side, too. Most are sympathetic. I have the most trouble sympathizing with Roswaal but even then, in a weird fucked up way, I can understand his resolute will to reach his own wish. It's just like Subaru.

ROSWAAL. That's all that needs to be said.

OTTO!!! I teared up when he interrupted Subaru's screaming at the end. This fucking show just does that to me, man. So fucking good. It's the anime equivalent of an RPGMaker horror game. Ib, Mad Father, Witch's House, Ao Oni. All of those protagonists also have RBD. They also must walk through hell & die awful, gory, painful deaths while paying attention to the MOST obscure shit, walking the hardest tightropes, and being sure to get all of the items & information possible for the best possible route. It's amazing. It's ingenious. It's subarashii. What a stroke of genius. I can't wait to root for Subaru another two seasons and a half.

What a great season. So many revelations. So far, Roswaal seems to be the main enemy of the show without any humanization. Even satella got a bit humanized now. Roswaal got some Orochimaru type evil intentions, that much you can tell. Don't know the exact goal and reasonings yet, which'll probably be revealed in later seasons. Will he be the ultimate villian or we'll see a Severus Snape sort of a plot twist regarding him? It can go either way I suppose. On a side note, Otto has become such a likable character. Subaru is still as insufferable as ever, yet we still root for him > 5:45 AM, October 9th 2025

I was surprised that they revealed so much in this first part, I thought they would go on for longer, although this Subaru quest with the Sanctuary and the Mansion is taking a while to be resolved (because it's not easy).
I really liked Echidna and the other witches, they added a lot to the anime.

So muched to say and I wanted to say but first OTTO THE FUCKING GOOOOOATT!!! He is the friend. I really truly see his importance now. Ask for help from a friend you dumbass.

Roswaal I we know is insane but fucking hell he's insane. He'll do anything to "perfect" Subaru in order for his goal.

Satella loves Subaru and wants him to love himself as well. She wants him to one day kill her so he will definetly save her. Man I'm so invested in Echidna and Satella now. I hope to get as invested with the other witches maybe. They're all incomprehensible monsters thus they are witches. That whole witches scene was something else.

I love seeing the witches get more screen time. This ending is something of a bummer though. I feel the need to pick up the manga.
