| Waiting 4 years for season 2. 3 years for season 3, I have to thank them for this long episode (no intro or outro, typical white fox). The time skip is a bit odd, but so is 8 years for season 1-3 to release. Good episode. |

i watched 5 min of both, gestalt is way better overall
| @Kitsune_089 I don't think 5 minutes is enough to judge but the reason I recommended fle is because it seemed like it was made by someone who was actually familiar with the source material. They used accurate terms and spellings while gestalt used the outdated names and spellings. Either way, it doesn't matter since the official subs will be out in a few months anyway. |
| la malice entrée en scène what a great way to start season 3, all the main players are all in this 1 hour and 26 minute episode. Everything was great and Re:Zero never fails on killing Subaru in the most fucked up way every darn fucking time. That's why you should always have your save files ready, you never know when you might die. This arc seems so interesting, It seems there was another Japanese person that got Isekai'd a long time ago, anyways we got lots of Beako today in this episode. This place looks like a Venice inspired city, Garfiel learned that there's always someone above him and he was not the strongest and got humbled, the Astrea family have family issues to resolve and Priscilla is not that bad of a person everyone thought she was. Felt was just shinning throughout this episode, way more than Crusch who lost her memories. Felt and her tomboyish personality is the best and she knows how to deal with Reinhard. Anastasia was alright, she's just like Tohsaka Rin from Fate Stay Night and Fate Unlimited Blade Works and Fate Series. I guess it's her voide that reminds me of her, she didn't really stand out that much despite hosting this meeting. |

| and so, It begins. |
| If im not wrong, Garfiel story didnt happen in vol 16 light novel, I was so confused watching that part. Other than that, everything else in this episode is just so PEAK, Im talking about the introduction of Heinkel, Liliana and Sirius (never thought her voice is so girly lmao). |
| Great ending to the episode and a good decision to fit a bunch of the interactions between the less interesting characters into ep 1 instead of forcing us to watch them weekly. Garfirl finding his mother by accidentally taking his brother home felt unnecessarily manufactured but otherwise it was just nice to have Re:zero back. smh at Emilia for not recognizing Regulus Also great to see Anastasia, Priscilla and some other return. Sirius seems fun as well. |

If you actually think about it, it wasn’t unnecessarily manufactured at all. It was set up last season, that something is up. Plus it will make more sense as you understand it more. Hopefully they don’t cut out anything from that story side.
| @Confused_100 That makes it even more manufactured |

@RPWPA They censored the death pretty thoroughly this time honestly. Probably to do with this time a child being murdered.
I think the most disturbing part is the screaming of the child though . The VA does too well it makes the whole scene way more disturbing, that screaming.

Reply to Chipp12
Was a bit surprised that Emilia didn't recognize Regulus considering that she got back her memories just recently.
| @Chipp12 yeah weird change. maybe it got changed in the LN but in the original web novel the dude had a cloak and his face was hidden. But um, Tappei has also made sure to make Emilia the dumbest main bitch you will ever see in an anime after her incredible development in arc 4 so theres that. |
Reply to Nafis_Syed
@Ventus_S I hope that the second half of the season (arc 6) would be able to change your mind about the series in terms of good writing, the director has to nail it for it be highly regarded in that aspect hopefully in the future.
| @Nafis_Syed Nah, it's just my standard for good writing is quite high , no need to be alarm by it. Heck, even stuff like Classroom of the Elite i find the writing quite meh though. I mean the whole point of light novel is to be as easily readable/ understandable as possible so it make sense to make the writing down to earth. I'm way ahead of anime adaptation by now , so it means the story is engaging enough for me to keep reading, but i wont say it's great writing still. I mean Subaru got to have the worst luck in anime history , there's not a moment he is not in a terrible situation lolz |

| @Anayan_Kashyap Regulus was intended to be an average-looking joe, easily forgettable character, as the author envisioned him. However, the light novel artist gave him such an iconic design that it contradicts the idea of how someone with such a striking appearance could be forgettable. |

Could you explain why season 3 starts a year later? What happened to the party they were at to finish season 2? Feels like something is missing and I don't want to look to far into it because of spoilers.
| @DayRivia Because no events happens in 1 year? I don't understand why you find time skip odd. |

Mainly because the party to end season 2 seemed to be setting up as a mini arc in itself. The way Subaru made another promise seemed as though something was about to go wrong right there. If that's the end, then it was very anti climatic.
It's not just I. Every irl friend also believed it would be a continuation of the party.
I could give more examples but I'd need a refresher of s2 final ep.

@DayRivia Because no events happens in 1 year? I don't understand why you find time skip odd.
Need to preface this by saying to this point Re Zero is a top 3 anime of mine and all time favorite seasonal anime.
To put it simply, if I'm not missing anything and that was simply a time skip, then that is one of the worst timeskips I've seen executed. Doesn't fit the story at all. The fate of Subaru doesn't allow for a year of peace in my opinion. In fact all the relationships don't seemed to have evolved years worth from Emelia and Beatrice side. emelia, spoke of the kiss as if it was yesterday.
In a whole year their relationship gained zero traction? nothing with the princess selection happened? No major events to get dragged in to? No news on the cult? It's all so poorly executed.
It seems like a month has passed at most.
| @DayRivia then that is one of the worst timeskips I've seen executed. No it isn't. Doesn't fit the story at all. Yes, it does. I don't think you understand the plot of Seasons 1 and 2. The fate of Subaru doesn't allow for a year of peace in my opinion. Why not? The reason Subaru died so much in Seasons 1 and 2 was because of Roswaal. Now, Roswaal can't do anything because he lost the bet in Season 2. Subaru deserves a year of rest. In fact all the relationships don't seemed to have evolved years worth from Emelia and Beatrice side. I don't think you watched Season 3, Episode 1. Beatrice is now too attached to Subaru and completely trusts him without needing explanations. As for Emilia, I don't know what you expected, but as you know from Season 2, she is immature and not good at romance. emelia, spoke of the kiss as if it was yesterday. Subaru made a joke about having a child, and Emilia referenced it. She didn't mention it as if it happened yesterday. nothing with the princess selection happened? It's literally explained in the episode what the other candidates were doing last year to improve their positions. No major events to get dragged in to? No news on the cult? I don't think you understand how killing two 400-year-old rampaging 2 mabeasts and the Sloth Archbishop is such an incredible accomplishment in such a short amount of time, and you're asking why there's no more? If you're asking why they didn't attack during that whole year, it's because they don't care. I think there's a misunderstanding—Petelgeuse was the only Archbishop who cared about Emilia or Satella. Others are not. Arc 5 (Season 3) literally starts another sequence of major events that last through Arcs 6, 7, 8, 9, and beyond. It's so sad that people say Re:Zero is their favorite without understanding anything about the series. |

Look, it's bad writing. idk what to tell you. Pretending there is no break in between seasons, those episodes flowed very poorly together because the ending to s2 didn't feel like the end before a timeskip. Simple as that. Idk whats hard to get.
for your shows there are a lot of thumbnails of just children girls once you scroll past the popular stuff. Not looking back at titles again because none of this matters. Past d x d.
| @DayRivia Look, it's bad writing. Again there is no argument why it's bad writing. Pretending there is no break in between seasons, those episodes flowed very poorly together because the ending to s2 didn't feel like the end before a timeskip Every plot point from Seasons 1 and 2 is resolved; Roswaal, the main antagonist of both seasons, is defeated. Everyone in the Sanctuary and Mansion is also saved. 2 Great Mabeasts defeated, Archbishop of Sloth is defeated. Subaru officially became Emilia's knight unlike what happened in S1 Ep12-13. Act I of the story is finished. So how does it not feel like the end for the major events of Seasons 1 and 2? |

I never said the plot points for sq and 2 weren't done. I said it felt like the mansion party was the end but also the start of a mini arc.
I don't judge loli in small doses. That's anime for you. The Bonney thing does suck. Wouldnt disagree there. At least it's not when she is in child form.
See....that's how you take criticism....wow
| @DayRivia I said it felt like the mansion party was the end but also the start of a mini arc. What mini arc are you referring to? Please provide the mini arc you had in mind. Re:Zero does not have mini arcs. The only mini arc was Arc 1, which is 3 episodes. However, there are many side stories that have not been adapted. These side stories cover events such as dialogues that happened over the course of a year or events in other locations. If you want these, you should direct your frustration towards the producer (KADOKAWA) for not animating the side stories. The Memory Snow OVA covers the one-month timeskip between Episode 11 and Episode 12. Re:Zero IP currently does not have that luxury, it's 90-100 episode behind of the source material. Anyway, these things are mostly slice-of-life and not relevant to the main plot. Season 3 starts as quickly as possible to kick off the rollercoaster and avoid boring viewers with 5-6 episodes of slice-of-life content. People are already complaining about the 90 minutes of dialogue in Season 3, Episode 1, and you want at least twice as much? That’s not good for the IP. If you’re interested in this series that much, read the novels for extra content. |

I havnt looked forward but friends and I predicted something to go wrong at the party to start season 3. Causing Subaru to once again break his promise made. I don't look to future arcs because don't want spoiled. We theorized Anna rose could turn bad because of her obessesion with emelia. and I'm done now. no need to respond. this is going no where.

Terrible follow up comment with no context. Didn't respond to anythin
The end of the s2 p2 is a party at a mansion hosted by a girl named Anne rose. No point in continuing. I'll just chalk it up to poor writing unless he is planning a flashback.
| @DayRivia if you are asking about what happened in the 1 year timeskip, there are many side stories covering that 1 year timeskip and how relationship between characters grew but yeah they are side stories and most likely won't be adapted in anime as anime only adapts the main novels, very rarely it adapts contents of side stories. |
