| This one looks so over that yeah, doing a loop would’ve been a very wise result, though then again, it might not have changed anything in the end, because someone like Capella exists, but yeah, watching Emilla being completely and utterly clueless over everything which happened around her over the course of this entire bit does feel a lot discouraging lol. But yeah, I liked how this arc threw a lot of characters into the mix, and tried to keep all of them relevant, at the same time, unlike many other shows. Priscilla might not sound the most humble person to the ears, but that entire bit with her helping out Subaru already justified her character in this arc. Though, Subaru still being capable of walking around and reason with people, even after every textbook misery he went through in the last couple of episodes is actually really something lol… more than what Emillia’s escape looks like. Add that AMBITIOUS speech of his in the end, I mean we know, it won’t be easy at all, as what the history tells in this series, but yeah, that’s some way to keep you and people around yourself motivated. So yeah, build up they’ve done and now we know things will go south in the next two episodes. Very spoiler-ish revelation in the end tho. |

| Some LN Extra Details (Volume 18 Chapter 1.2-2.5 ) - Number 184 warns Emilia to not mention Subaru's name in front of Regulus. It might irk him and make him doubt of Emilia's virginity. - Dragon blood is one of the three great treasures left to the royal family of Lugunica by the Holy Dragon. It is told to grant abundance to withered lands, rejuvenates all destructions, heals the most incurable illnesses in an instant, and becomes a light to wash away despair - Liliana is mad at Priscilla when she slanders the dragon blood. - Priscilla reminds Subaru that any actions taken will have consequences. In this case, half-hearted attacks on the city hall and failed makes the situation worse. - Subaru mentions to Priscilla that that Al was with them until they split up. She said that she does not really care for him and cared more on looking for Schult because of his irreplaceable charms. - Anastasia mentions that they found out that they can still communicate with the dragon and the people that became flies. They are still conscious and willing to follow directions. They are brought to the separate shelter Differences from LN - Subaru's leg supposed to be black - Priscilla grazes Subaru's neck instead of stabbing it - After Priscilla defeats the demi-demon, Liliana found an injured person. Subaru quickly went and does a first aid, which is taught by his mentor. Then he carries him to the shelter as well. - Three demi-beast are chasing Subaru instead of one. - Subaru shows his leg to Anastasia as well during the discussion. |

| MY GLORIOUS QUEEN, PRISCILLA. |
| Ehh? I can understand How Subaru got his leg back but even his bandages and sneakers also recovered? Bruh.. what? |
| This episode was a bit slower than usual. Nothing wrong with that. Especially since the last few episodes were a roller coaster ride. You can tell that this episode is a setup for the next 2 episodes, which will be the last episodes of this cour, the Attack part. The Counterattack part will begin airing in February ICYMI. Damn, this dragon blood is really convenient. Not only did it give him some new bandages but also it brought back his shoe. Wonder how that happened. The highlight of this episode was probably the Priscilla scene. That was so gorgeous. The 3D shot looked impressive. It's too bad the demibeasts were CGI tho. Tho I guess it's not the worst CGI I've seen. I can give it a pass cause the previous episodes looked so good and this episode also looked very beautiful, especially the Priscilla scene I mentioned. The scenes with Emilia sneaking around were also very good. I love how the city looks when the sun is setting. Liliana's VA is doing an amazing job. I'm so glad she isn't half-assing it. All the VAs have been amazing so far. Especially the new ones. The ending scene with Subaru's pledge was amazing. My man has grown up so much. It's satisfying to see. I can't wait for the next episode. |
| BTW I should add that if you haven't been watching Re:ZERO Break Time then I highly recommend doing so. They aren't just chibi extras but are basically essential side stories for the main anime that contain important lore or things that were cut from the anime. The last 3 or so Break Time episodes had some very important info or major lore drops that likely won't be covered in the main anime. At least not any time soon. Here's the last Break Time episode subbed- |
| Now thats a curious method to wake someone with. Nice that we got to see how Priscilla fights. The power of wrath sure took advantage of the tempers of the trapped cits thats for sure. Lelianna's song was pretty good and served well to showcase her value as an asset to the cast. Still it really shows how adapt the witch cult is in harming people as it has the capability to do so physicially and mentally. Its gonna be a tough fight but looking forward to seeing the cast counterattack. |

| Liliana is like moving Disney by this point :P When we are in crisis? Let's Sing. Her song in refuge reminds me of Mermaid Melody lolz Regulus, the character I hate the most from LN is finally showing why he's so hated. Basically other Arch bishops are just like lunatics, you can't relate with them that much cuz you'd just think they're bet shit crazy. Regulus, however, is like some nasty and self center violent dude that pull straight out from real world, which has immense relatability. If you do anything that displease his current feeling, he just straight up kill you, and he has the gut to say he love all his wives equally. Basically he treats them like disposable decorations and nothing more. In fact Regulus's personality reminds so much about my older brother, which makes me hate him even more. |

Mostly just regroup and setup for the upcoming episodes and ofc Priscilla being badass. Her bringing out a flame sword out of her chest was cool af. Been really liking her a lot. Good song from Liliana again. Emillia doing recon all alone but it's working. Good speech from Subaru. |
 |
| If Subaru says so, it’s going to happen!… hopefully, otherwise that would just be embarrassing 😭 |
| This was the weakest episode so far, simply because of its construction, with a pacing that will alienate viewers coming from previous episode - concocted by a repeat exposition and a sufficiently long insert song to say the least. Some of the shots lacked novelty and background music just stopped altogether. Headscratchers like the dragon's fate or what happened during Julius vs Lye would permeate naturally into the audience' mind. However, it doesn't fail to display Prisicilla's idealogy, Spymilia and Knightbaru. They kinda arranged things in a way that will make the next couple of episodes elite. |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
My honest reaction every time Liliana sang |
 |
| I’ll keep saying this but I find it so funny how different Regulus is to the rest of the archbishops. Like be nice and he’s just a normal dude. And seriously Subaru’s character development has been ridiculous since s1 like dam he’s come so far |
| Subaru continuing his weirdly sturdy run(well at least of how I perceive Re;zero). I guess episode 8 will be the important Re part. I hope so, I want Crusch and Mimi well. That's was very efficient, how the the water level gone back to normal very fast. Subaru "Yes I met a witch, and have an artificial spirit. Nothing special." |
 |
| I wasn't expecting Subaru to get his leg back, although it is infused with dragon blood, hence the way it looks. Either way, we got to see Priscilla and Liliana once again as the pair rescued him. The demibeasts are another threat towards our group, but seeing how Priscilla took care of them was impressive. The CGI usage on the enemies and the camerawork while Priscilla unleashed her skills was pretty good overall. Not to forget, since we have Liliana, it wasn't long before she broke out into another song and the one she performed in a shelter to snap the citizens out of the witches trance was very pleasant and catchy. =) Regulus continues to be a piece of work, although he is less chaotic with how he talks compared to the other deranged sin archbishops. His anger towards Capella does show that none of them like each other, but it did help Emilia to know where she was and taking one of his communication tools in the post-credit scene was a risky move that paid off. Overall, this was a nice episode. Subaru showing his resolve to save everyone does show how far he has come since season 1, so I do look forward to seeing him and the others getting back on their feet to work out a new plan to take down the sin archbishops. Fingers crossed they'll be more successful this time around. |
Never got warm with Pricicilia until now She's actually great |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| OMG Aldebaran is connected to the Witch's Cult!!! Wtf is he doing? Is Priscilla aware of this? She's so strong btw. I wasn't expecting her to be as strong as Emilia basically. As we guessed, Lilianna was the key to undoing Wrath's spell on everyone in the city. Regulus is being even more of a creep and Emilia is RE'ing her way around his watch. Subaru's got his goals clear and regrouped with his people. It's about to go down next episode. 5/5 |
| Yeah looks great as always. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| slower ep, and subaru is cathing on abour what's happening |
 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 |
| Buildup episode. Feels nice |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Pricilla the goat bro |
| The takeover of the city is underway, how will Subaru save everyone? It's pretty nice to see some of the other characters get some screen time, like Priscilla for example, who really showed off how strong she was in this episode. As for everyone else, it's good to see them taking a proactive approach to things, especially Emilia, who was actively working to try to help out the situation by getting info from Regulus, and for Subaru, I'm honestly surprised he hasn't died and reset yet, but with his leg being healed, I suppose he'll try to push through this. Only two episodes left in the first cour, and I just get the feeling we're gonna be left on a cliffhanger by the end of this. |
| Subaro pretty overconfident there, keeping playing cool even if it should kill him. Well i would be confident too if I could redo everything anytime I guess. Or knew I am main protagonist. Emilia, she is crazy for not running away can't she just make some ice water slide or something to get away quick... wait... Al??? Did that crazy japanes bastard already defeated someone from the cult and took meetia from him? |

| Dope episode, Subaru gives a sweet speech ngl. Intrigued to see how they plan to get through this though - I mean given that Greed, Lust, Gluttony and Wrath are all shown to be deadly bastards who can screw with most heroes/knights on the show. |

| That's what I was fearing and it happened. Subaru survived but now Crusch got cursed. And unlikely she can be reset. That's that then for Crusch, at best she is Remmed and at worst she is gone. It hurts, not more than Felis but... Best thing about this episode was Priscilla acting nice for once. The demi beasts fight was steller visually.  Never was a fan of her but after today maybe she deserve smore credit. Despite acting tsundere she is still helping out people with Liliana. Liliana song was rare nice relaxing thing int he middle of shit show. Good song too. Regeulus is becoming shittier and better as a villain same time. Emilia walked a thin ice (literally). Al',s secrecy maybe revealed now. What annoyed me was Subaru. Yes Ecchidna made you go through a lot. Yes forget how she saved you in your worst point, how she and others encouraged you to go on. And then stil blabbering about saving all people, well you couldn't t save Crusch, Mimi and countless others. So what's the point of staying in high horse. If you want to save them all just die but you decided to respect himself and now keep trying to do same which puts more people lives at risk. ahh... It sounds heroic but see if he can execute all this in one try without sacrificing more people. If he does maybe then he gets praise. |
