OH MY GODD PEAKKKKK, they managed to make this amazing episode with a new character design, the action scenes are also very cool not stiff and exciting to watch, OST is unquestionable, Re:Zero eps 2 immediately has OP and ED is a rare thing. The visual opening is very good, I was amazed by the visuals, the song is by Suzuki Konami and as usual it is a really BANGER song.

Subaru died hanging by Sirius completely uncensored I was very happy and traumatized at the same time lmao, finally we can see Subaru continue to suffer this season. Anzai Chika is an amazing VA, I was really impressed with her performance as Sirius after from Makeine as Shikiya and here as Sirius.

Summoning Reinhard is a brilliant idea but Subaru needs better preparation, Subaru doesn't remember why he died the first time he met Sirius and became a fatal thing that made everyone die (except Reinhard lol).

Emilia with the new design is so beautiful that I only focus on the two big mountains. Sirius seemed to let out her wrath in front of Emilia, she said many things in front of Emilia namely "you half-demon who stole him from me" are you Mrs. Fortuna?. Suddenly Regulus came and picked up his 79th wife, Regulus was really a greedy person.

The ED song is amazing, the visuals are not just a slide show but have visual quality on par with the OP song. MYTH & ROID are back again with an BANGERRR song in Re:Zero, really waiting for what the next eps will bring.

Props to Wrath's Va she does an amazing job at portraying the insanity of this sin. This was a great episode everything about it was amazing. crazy how Subaru went a year without dying to dying a bunch of times within like an hour or so.

If this pace keeps up this may end up being my favourite season

THIS EPISODE WAS INSANE OMG. First off the opening was so good and very pretty. Starting off immediately with multiple deaths and resets is crazy holy crap. There are so many mysteries and questions I have already this season. I wonder how everything is going to play out. EMILIA YOU GOTTA GET AWAY FROM BRO PLEASE!!!

I thought Subaru had some pretty decent plans but unfortunately Sirius had a counter to all of them.
It just goes from bad to worse with Regulus turning up again and trying to take Emilia away.
Doesn't he have enough wives already?
Looking forward to the next episode to see how they get themselves out of this mess.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Subaru went a whole year without dying only to die 3 times in one day, that hanging one was especially brutal. Emilia being able to fight like that was kind of a surprise, I feel like we've only seen her shoot ice before.

First episode of Re zero in God knows how long to have both OP and ED…and holy shit were they fire 😭 I read arc 5 so long ago, and seeing it done this justice just 2 episodes in brings a huge smile to my face…I sincerely hope that the animation quality of a relatively small fight among the ones in this arc is only telling of the peak they will deliver for the big ones…we are into the thick of it ladies and gents, Pristella arc truly begins now and this episode only further enhanced my excitement for what’s to come. Thank you White Fox for taking this great care of the return of my favorite series, can’t wait to see what gets cooked up next 🔥

@Confused_100

MT doesn't have sexualization in my opinion. It's just a story about people with just common sex drive, we all have it. It has purpose, it has reasons, it's not out of place.
ReZero doesn't have excuse for Bard or Which Cultist girl in ED. They are stripped just because.
That's that I've meant by "sexualization"

About Subaru being stupid. If I'm correct, author himself aknowledged it. But either way, it's best seen in the extra LN chapter where Subaru isekaied to MT world during Rudius meeting with Orsted. It was written by both MT and ReZero authors so it's essentially true to the characters.

About fights. Like this fight of Emillia with Cultist. It was down to "hit hard, be hit hard". No injury, everyone is just man of the steel, while talking a lot. That I don't like. HxH or MT fights in comparision have no out of place dialogue and usually takes intelligence to win other brawl. Or if it goes down to brawl, everyone got hurt and fast.

Also please don't diss someone with "you have no reason". It essentially ends discussion, because you can't counter it in any way, it's the same as calling someone "stupid" during argument. It serves no purpose
@lessfull there is a legitimate reason why Which Cultist girl looks like that, it was in the trailer so I don't consider it a spoiler but just in case.

Except for that preemptive attack towards the tower, there was not a single hit, the whole fight Emilia and Sirius avoided, deflected and blocked each other's attacks, maybe Sirius would have been hurt and that's why she used a hostage. Although Re:zero has actions, it's not its main theme or at least that's how I see it, so don't expect HxH level fights. I can understand that you are unhappy when you watch only this fight, but when you take into account all the previous fights from the first and second season, you will understand that "No injury, everyone is just man of the steel, while talking a lot." is not at all the case in Re:zero and that two characters just happened to deflect each other's attacks due to their current strength, agility, and other situational circumstances. I didn't read that extra chapter.
About Subaru being stupid, of course this is just my opinion, I think he is more average than stupid, an average man, not an average isekai protagonist, as we saw at the beginning of the series Subaru does not have great ambitions and works to achieve what he wants in given moment (he himself said it countless times) when we look at some situations we could say that it is stupid not to think about the further future and in some situations he could have a huge profit if he did it, but what can we expect from someone who has been fighting for days so a few days can pass without bloodshed. I was also annoyed by how Subaru can be stupid, but I think that if we put a few ordinary characters in his place it wouldn't make a big difference, the world he is in is not very favorable for gaining power or becoming stronger, I just think of him as someone who is carried away by his situation.
Of course, there are usually no lasting consequences, but that is the very concept of this series, that the main character fights again and again in order to end up with no consequences, which is why MOSTLY there are no lasting consequences, but that doesn't mean there won't be any. If you don't like that concept, it's not about the series, it's about your taste.

I tried to be as objective as possible, I have no hostility towards you, I just wanted to correct what I consider wrong.
I would like to hear your opinion in more detail.

@vesamija8

yeah, I don't watch trailers just to be suprised so I didn't know that. Makes sense. Someone also told me that Bard appearance will be explained later, so maybe I jumped the gun here.

About fight being shallow. The most glaring thing what stuck to me was when Sirius was plastered to the ground with quite a force, but as if nothing happened got up as if doing bridge exercise with a few bone cracks. It felt unnatural for her to be this sturdy. Although now I remember that I had the same problem in s1 when Sloth returned as a Spider even though he should have died for sure. That also struck me at that time as something unnatural.

Yeah, probably stupid is not a right word. Probably "not quick-witted" is the better discription. But anyway you have a point there about "average person".

Fantastic episode. There was a great moment in it which I haven't seen people mention: during the confrontation with Sirius and Emilia, I can't remember the exact dialogue but Sirius insults Emilia's hair and other aspects of her appearance, and Emilia replies that the person she loves compliments her for those things so she won't stand for those insults. Was a really nice show of her feelings for Subaru during such a dangerous situation.

1. How does Priscilla'a intuition work?
That's her blessing. If I recall correctly, it works in a way she always knows what is the correct decision in any given situation. I know it doesn't explain anything, but that's how it was described.

2. Why did Reinhard fight Sirius mid-air?
Because he could? He's Reinhard.

3. If Sirius knew Regulus' plan, was she even fighting Emilia properly?
Well, spoilers territory.

Wow the opening and ending are really nice this season, and animation in this episode was great too. The choice to combine most of the world building and general arc setup in the first episode was really nice because we can now get straight into action in this one. I have not read the novels so I have no idea what to expect but based on the opening contents it seems like a very hype arc, which is nice since some parts of the last two seasons dragged on for a bit too long for my tastes.

I'm never gonna watch Re:zero in Muse Asia again....they censored the whole Hanging scene by Grayscaling......😮‍💨 But we got Some SERIOUS action this episode. Emilia was badass, but got abducted by a Man with avg facial character, who somehow has 78 wives.... (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)...

Gonna re-watch it again. But it was awesome, Subaru won't get a Sigh of relief from this episode onwards, for Multiple arcs. Ofc, you gotta pay the debt for enjoying a whole Year of Peace.😶‍🌫️🫠

The animation is insanely good!!! And th opening and Ending are decent enough.

I've been reminded again why Re:Zero is one of the best Fantasy Isekai. Another amazing episode!

The plot is always thrilling with deaths and restarting again. I was deep into it the whole episode wondering how Subaru-kun will solve this bloody crisis.

Also my eye brows are furrowed the whole episode. 😂

Been searching the English word. It's furrowed. 😂

Studio White Fox always give their best with the consistent animation since 2016 up to now. 🔥

@Sonny2005 you need to Buy the LN if you wanna read it. But if you want the Web Novel, here you go.
https://witchculttranslation.com/

Most of the stuff are same. Just a few added and altered stuff in the LN, which is a better version of the initial web novel.
The anime adapts the LN. But you'll get most of the stuff same.

@a_Shape Honestly i think is normal he's naive about this.

First, Reinheart is super young, so despite his op abilities/ strength, he doesn't experience as much as some old veteran fighters. Also he always easily handle his opponents, so he's often off-guard.
Look at how he carelessly put Subaru gang in danger because you can clearly tell he's not experienced in dealing with little tricks. If he is really experience, he should have put a protective barrier or something on Subaru gang before fighting Elsa.

Second is from his conversation to everyone, you can clearly tell despite he's very modest and nice, he cant read air at all. He doesn't know some of his kind words can hurt someone sometimes. Look at his conversation with Gafriel and Subaru back then.
For a person who can't read air, when the crowd went a bit overexcited about killing Sirius, is natural he doesn't feel anything is off.

@Ventus_S From the perspective of anime-only viewers I still imagine they could've been able to think that he was already somewhat afftected by her authority. Reinhard is very weirdly behaved there when he decisively killed the archbishop

one of the weakest episodes in the entire series so far ngl. sirius feels exactly like that mf from the previous season so most of the episode was just an edgefest. emilia not hesitating with her attack was the best part. but welp we got a goof trying to marry her now, i cba.
