| WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!? Opening and Ending already in the second episode(though we did get OP in the first ep as well) and that too with visuals??? This has to be some kinda world record for this series lol. But man, jokes aside, this guy is actually something else, I mean getting beheaded all of a sudden, when you were actually enjoying yourself, or more like were forced to, and still putting on an act like nothing happened takes a LOT. Though to surprise of fucking nobody, you know one brings two, so yeah, not even five minutes into the episode and Subaru is DEAD FOR THE SECOND TIME.. very brutally and very inhumanly(for the lack of better words). Seriously, you know this series at its fucking best when they fucking don’t even care over spamming Subaru’s deaths. Sirius is just… a replacement for Petelgeuse, we never even asked. That girl is something else, and her authority of wrath as well, I mean you know when even GOAT Reinhard fails, the situation is done for. That crowd chanting “kill, kill”, was super creepy but hey, all of them getting beheaded at the same time when Sirius got, was EVEN MORE creepy -> THIRD DEATH. I’m glad though, Subaru finally asked Beatrice, and hey, not the biggest fan of Emilia, but yeah, she actually willing to go that far just shows how much she has grown as well since the start… add her going one-on-one with Sirius. Really liked how extreme they went with Sirius’s character, fucking uncomfortable and but hell yeah. Regulus kidnapping Emilia in the end was just adding more insult to an already worse injury… damn man, great fucking episode, and to think we’ve just started. |

| Sirius aka. Wrath is crazy. He already demonstrated a lack of concern for life and unfortunately, Subaru also gets dragged into this mess. But yeah, for a character like Sirius, he's another of how crazy some of the cast can be in this franchise. OP and ED theme songs are catchier imo, similar in style of the previous seasons. Subaru really got his hands full this season already. |

| Subaru Natsuki's first death in Season 3 facing Sirius the Sin Archbishop of Wrath, every Return by Death only makes his movements all the more wary, but once she comes out in the public, there's just no stopping her manipulative brainwashing from killing the kid as her sacrifice. From the loop of saving the kid straight, only to be thwarted by Sirius herself, to the next of Reinhard being able to break her curse thanks to the beacon that Dumber put out as a precaution, but Subaru giving in to the brainwashing before he could kill her off, that was almost a success. And consulting Betty and Emilia on this, it's better dealing straight when Sirius is spotted at first sight, and Emilia shows why she's the only one qualified to deal with the Witch's Cult, especially against someone who looks similar to her brethren. But for her to be overwhelmed, and both Subaru and Betty be greeted with the return of Regulus Corneas the Sin Archbishop of Greed, things are just not looking good. The old OST pairing of Konomi Suzuki and MYTH & ROID are back, though it'd take quite a while to get used to the new OP and ED. |

| Another amazing episode this week Some LN Extra Details (Volume 17 Chapter 1-2.2 Partial) - In this 3 death loop, it only takes subaru back around 15 minutes, which is the shortest time loop so far - Subaru suspect the 2nd death was caused by cardiac arrest because of the fear stacking and bouncing between him and Lusbel - At first, Betty thought Sirius' Authority is similar to Nekt, which Julius used with Subaru during battle with Petelgeuse, which could be countered with Shamac, but was proven wrong later on - Subaru tried several times to reveal his story and power to Betty, and failed because of the witch's punishment, and in the end, he had given up on it - While Emilia is fighting Sirius, Subaru dragged and knocked Lachin and several people at the front line to the waterway to clear the way. There are also some people in the crowd that can fight and gets in Subaru's way Differences from LN - During the 3rd loop, the anime does not show that Lusbel is having injuries sustained by Sirius when battling Reinhardt - Subaru navigatess through the crowd with using his skill similar to parkour taught by his mentor, Clint and Betty accidentally bit her tounge to save Lusbel on third loop instead of instantly flying to the top. Self Note - Subaru's second death is alot more gruesome in the anime and i kinda like it - The OP and ED is quite nice too. - This episode's adaptation and pacing is also quite nice. Hope this keeps up for future episodes. |

| Sirius, the sin archbishop of Wrath, is one truly freaky bitch, and mightily powerful too! Unlike the previous loops we've seen, Subaru is given such a short amount of time between his point of return and the event in which Sirius blows off the heads of all those people in the town square, and if someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Reinhard can't kill her in an instant, then you know you've got a tough task on your hands. Honestly, at this point in time, Subaru has the connection and respect to utilize his friends and allies as a way to further his means and achieve a better future according to his wishes. but even then, that's no guarantee that he'll get it right quickly. He'll have to die, again and again and again... It's not even halfway through the ep and he's died yet again. If the 1st episode is a deservedly long grand opening to this arc and this season, then this is when Re; Zero truly begins!!! |
  |
| HOLY FUCKING PEAK! EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! |
 |
| OP and ED are amazing again. This is genuinely the seasonal I'm most hyped for right now. The tension, the angst, the blood, the edginess. Re:Zero pulls it off so much better than other isekai, it's not even close. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| watching the ending has genuinely been the most hype I've been during watching something in a very long time holy shit |
| The wait for Episode 2 felt far longer than a week. Probably since Episode 1 technically came out months ago. And this episode had BOTH the OP and ED with visuals! Which made it truly feel like Re:ZERO is FINALLY BACK! And man, both the OP and the ED are peak af. I think the OP might be my favorite of the series and the ED slaps hard too. The only OP that could surpass this is a MYTH & ROID or a Mayu Maeshima OP for Arc 6. Man, I really have nothing bad to say about this episode. It literally kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. It went by so freaking fast. The animation almost feels like an apology for Season 2. Like yeah it didn't look bad but it didn't look as great as it should've which is unfortunate since Arc 4 is one of the best arcs of Re:ZERO. The only thing that was a bit underwhelming for me was Subaru's 3rd death. I feel like if this episode was a bit longer it would've fared a bit better pacing-wise. But oh well. The rest of the episode is so good that I think I can overlook it. And bruh that was one heck of a cliffhanger. The man himself, Emilia's husband, Regulus Corneas is here lmao. I already can't wait for the next episode! We are so back. |
| We will come to AoTY throne |

What the fuck with the 1 ratings in this ep????
| @RitzueX Bots. Season 2 had a lot of them. This season will have them too. Personally, I wouldn't count the 1-star ratings. No one with a functioning brain would rate this episode 1 star. |
| W Episode. 10/10 🔥 |
- E.M.T - |
| I forgot that I shouldn't eat while watching Re:zero. Emilia did what everyone want to do in a RPG. Just sneak attack the boss that have monologue. Now that Emilia had her share of badass action, now I guess she will disappear until the last few episodes of this season. |
 |
| Re:Zero is the embodiment of peak! This 2nd episode was so good! I really loved the OP/ED, both were amazing. I can't wait to see, what else this series brings us! |
This was well worth waiting the week. Shits just so goddamn peak |
the best anime opening so far, if not one of the best of the fall season! ] |

| It should have been a 90-minute ep i don't want to wait a week that feels like a month for the next ep. Ep was great |
 Hello! I started to really watch anime in 2022/2023, this me frfr -->> started reading manga 2024,[right] started to read Light/Web novels 2024 so I'm really new to all this. please be nice |
| Holy shit, 2nd episode even better than the first. White Fox really go all out this time. One episodes 2 deaths, and even Reinheart cant find the best solution for no casualty run. This is even more exciting than reading the Light Novel that's for sure, kinda envy people who haven't spoiled the plot yet. The action is peak too, and no filler monologues/ flashback/people explaining their abilities in front of opponent, etc, like in other Shonen Jump fight. (Like Demon Slayer's awfully paced plot/ combat sequence in S3 and S4) Can already tell this is gonna be my anime of the season/ year. |
| it's surely nice that subaru is at a position where people truly trust him, even though he didn't explain the hows |
| I can't describe how happy I am after watching this episode. I was waiting for it for so long. And finally we can see how fucked up is everything with this people showing up. Reinhard, most OP character in Re:Zero universe, couldn't save the man and besides he killed him. That is so sad. This show never dissapoints, with OP & ED, both masterpieces. ED will be in repeat 'till I die. Oh boy, Subaru. Get ready 'pal. I know you can find the way. It's gonna be hard, but damn it will be worth it. Action-packed season, so fun will be infinite. I'm ready for the next one. |
| Reinhard so ducking op man, he could beat all enemy without even trying. but sadly he is not main character so he couldn't beat them because it just make it end fast lol nakamura always play op character as always |
