Rewatching this episode really solidified my love for it. Hands down my favorite episode of the series so far. Hearing Subaru getting all that off his chest, the VA performance, and the emotions along with it made the scene so powerful. I still can't help but cry, 5/5 episode

This just keeps getting better. S2 really surprised me because I didn't expect it to capture this feeling again I got in S1. Echidna defo best girl atm, and kind of got Monogatari vibes from the tea party scene. Really good and this episode solidified what I thought about this anime even more.

Subaru had to break his mind/soul to get invited to Echidna again, what will he have to endure the next time to visit her again?

Beatrice activated Frederica's crystal Subaru had, teleporting him back to the Sanctuary. When he went out, there was a lot of snow (at this point in anime the source of this snow is unknown). He got eaten by the rabbits and RBD to the tomb. Then he went to meet Echidna again.

Outstanding Episode, maybe best Episode so far , Garfiel scene, Gospel , Otto sacrificing was awesome, Best part is the last part the heart touching conversation with Echidna he can finally Teil her
Obviously this Episode deserves 5/5
Echidna is so good one of my most Favorite characters in Re:Zero so far & one of the best girls as well

Incredible stuff. The last scene with Echidna made her more likeable, as she stands as the best girl so far. Makes me wonder if she keeps pulling him back after death. I really hope she turns out to be an ally. What a fantastic twist that would be.

They manage to create the potential for multiple best girls. Rem and now Echidna. Kudos to the writers.

When I tell you IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS to happen. I am so happy he finally opened up to Echidna, since it is obvious she is controlling all of this. Honestly Echidna, despite seeming to be a villain in this series, I feel that she will end up being an ally to Subaru, probably one of my favorite characters.

This was by far one of the best episodes of Re:Zero, the VA for Subaru absolutely killed it in the scene where he tells Echidna about Return By Death, I felt the pain and teared up myself. Simply amazing, 10/10

Damn, that buffed Garfield is super strong. I guess the best path is to somehow convince these mixed bloods for Subaru to pass the trials ASAP and with Garfiel as an ally, they should be able to take down Elsa.

Eaten alive, worst way to die ever I'm sure. I wonder what happened in that timeline. I wish he was able to explore further. It seemed like something interesting happened in that future.

Wow, that must've been so much relief for Subaru. In that realm, Satella has no influence. So, Echidna is a possible ally huh.

Damn right, I could feel his relief finally being able to utter the words and let at least SOMEONE know, making him feel he's not alone.

Echidna was great here.

Garfiel beast form is something else man. So many things in this episode - Roswaal actually being helpful, Otto sacrificing himself, villagers helping out. what the hell were those rabbits, that was creepy. Subaru VA did a good job in the end scene.

Poor Otto really did become half of a man just like Ram said...

Those rabbits may have been the most horrifying death so far. He's lucky that Echidna's bodily fluids was able to calm him down.

Subaru finally being able to talk about his experiences with someone must be a really gratifying feeling.

Ugh, seriously I will never forgive Garfield for how he was in this episode. Murdering innocent civilians, murdering the wonderful Otto, and just being a scumbag POS. I don't care what happens later(yeah I'm caught up) I hope the worst things happen to him and only him. I hope he stays alive and goes through some AWFUL Subaru stuff. Nevermind like oh my parents left me normal depression, like some terrible broken emotionally for life sorta stuff. He was such an evil, vile, scumbag. I seriously respect Roswal more and yeah I know his age it's irrelevant for me lol.

This episode felt a bit stretched out like Nagatsuki's source material too, but it was a good episode. It actually felt a bit cathartic seeing Subaru finally be able to vent about his Return by Death ability to anyone, even if it's Echidna. The guy's gone through hell and back while in every other loop and he's alone there too so just having someone to listen to his problems, especially given his recent struggles, could help a lot in the long run. Nice scene there and turned an overall fine episode at best, to a good one.

The rabbit scene was a weird one for me. It was disturbing and weird yeah, but felt too wacky for my liking with the series and made it too over-the-top that it felt comedic, something this series has been guilty with a couple times now. Definitely shock factor syndrome there.

It must have been so relieving for Subaru to finally fend everything off, I sense Echidna's escalation through the waifu ranks in this episode, Rem will be shocked at how the landscape of the war has changed ever since she went blank.

Holy shit, that rabbit scene was genuinely terrifying. They did an amazing job with that scene.

Seeing Subaru breakdown like that in front of Echidna was heartbreaking. I'm really glad he was able to have a catharsis moment and just let everything out, he's never been able to do that so I can't imagine how bad that is for his psyche

Damn, what a scumbag Garfiel is... when he woke up in winter, I feared where his checkpoint would be, but luckily it was still in the graveyard. Now I see why Echidna is so popular, definitely a new contender for best girl in this show. That's why I said that he should've asked about "return by death" the first time he visited her, that moron...

So Garfield kidnaps Subaru, which causes Emelia to become so distressed that she can't continue the trials for the next three days. And then, doesn't let Subaru leave when he believes his presence is putting the sanctuary in jeopardy? Like what's his logic here and how dumb is he?? And how dare he kill the villagers!! I doubt a redemption arc could even fix how I currently view this character...

Those unicorn bunnies were cute up until they started nibbling on Subaru and the final close up of the bunny about to eat the screen/Subaru's eye was terrifying.

I'm surprised Echidna isn't the witch who cursed him. She now joins the list of girls who arguably are better characters than Emilia but won't get chosen by Subaru.

great episode. a lot of emotion and brutality in this one. i think being eating alive by rabbits is probably subaru's most painful death so far. subaru being able to finally tell someone about his power of return by death was really great. raw emotion and just a very powerful scene.

The value of life. That title hit hard. Subaru could finally talk to someone about his ability, return by death. My man has suffered so much. The brutality of what he's been through is something unimaginable. I'm glad that he could talk about what he's been through.

So now Echidna becomes some sort of therapist for Subaru, we all know he needs to vent every now and then. Also this Garfiel guy is really annoying af he's so unpredictable everytime Subaru comes back he reacts differently.

"Anime is for kids" they say ......  Kids love rabbits... Right? Rabbits they are cute, right?! 
😱😢💀☠😱😢


He finally said it, such a huge weight was lifted from Subaru shoulders that even I felt it. Everything is well in the world.

If Subaru doesn't go mental/bonkers after going through what he did in this episode he is peak mad lad! Baby Jesus on a fvcking cracker!! How can you stay sane after that?! .... Subaru respect men!! Respect!!

10/10 episode, and the one with Subaru's parents was also 10/10, forgot to say that.

These episodes are simply amazing, and I have read the LN prior to this, this year, this arc, it was fucking amazing Arc, and the anime adaptation is pulling all the right bits when it matters.
Since I have read further into Arc 5, I kinda forgot, but it is really hard to stomache Garfiel like this, he straight up murdering everyone there, solely to protect this place, without proper evidence that is the right thing to do... I cant and wont defend his retardness on this arc, but it will get much better for him at least, murdering everyone like that just isnt it.

More would be saying spoilers, so I will stop on that.
Rabbit scene done very well, it was such a chilling death on the LN, way more so than 99% of his other deaths previous to this and did not disappoint, so you get that chilling cold shocking scene and afterwords so much raw emotion, an outpoor of it, a huge burden was lifted from his shoulders and it was just one of the most touching scenes in the series, S2 already has this one and the parents episode where the feels for me where much higher than S1 with ep18 could reach, and more will follow.

Those rabbits look cute! Oh wait...

I can't believe it, after all this time. Subaru is able to talk to someone about return by death without him or anyone else getting hurt. Just to think that there was someone watching over Subaru this whole time, Echidna. That just showed how painful having to go through all that over and over again really was for Subaru. What an incredible scene.

That was quite painful to watch. Imagine getting eaten by deadly Rabbits. The most painful death yet he suffered. He couldn't tell anyone, he couldn't Share his pain or he couldn't do anything regarding his death. He hopeless but he kept moving on for a better Future.

And finally found Her to tell his suffering. He has gone through a lot. Poor Subaru.

Well we will see.
