| Subaru's father is really energetic, and he can also do a moonwalk. After subaru said something touching, Subaru's father kicked his head lol Woahh, this is the first time seeing Subaru wearing school clothes and going to school, and at school, Echidna is his classmate ?! |
 |
| Imagine thinking that this episode was boring. 5/5. |

Is there an ED or OP in this ep? In this episode, there is no OP yet, but the ED is already there. |
|
| Subaru has been in that fantasy world for so long that it feels weird seeing his real life again, even if it's in the form of storytelling.memories with his father. > Is there a girl you like? Heh, and of course he hears Emilia's voice inside of his head. I still think this is an important episode though as it explores more of Subaru's personality, his past, and relationships. The narrative coming from Subaru actually sounds realistic coming from his point of view. At least some people can relate to him, except the fantasy part. |
 |
| From an Isekai where the MC went through all one season without to think one second about his previous life, this episode was a great turn of events, right? |
 |
| Finally, the moment I’ve waited years for. Dona in a school outfit Idk about y’all, but I think white Fox did an amazing job adapting this episode. That convo between Subaru and his mother at the end really hit me just like when I read it. This is up there with episodes 18-19 for Subaru’s development. Think they did really well with it. Liked how there was no OP too, gave more time on the run time. Next episode, more Dona, let’s go. |
 |
| White Fox outdoing themselves again. No OP and only ED, with almost 30 minutes of content. Shirase-san said: Yes, that's Echidna :)Woahh, this is the first time seeing Subaru wearing school clothes and going to school, and at school, Echidna is his classmate ?! And the next episode will explain what is going on :) |
 |
| This is the story of how Subara really ended up in the Isekai Quartet School. All kidding aside, the episode really stretched things out and while it was good, it also felt repetitive. The episode didn't need the extra few minutes of runtime. At least we got to see into the "past" of Subaru and the relationship with his parents. |

| This certainly wasn't what I was expecting. Was thinking the whole jump would be for half the episode, and then back to Emilia or anyone else. Not that it was bad, just found that interesting. I really love how he is a mix of his parents personality wise. It's legit funny to me lol. Really is the spitting image of them. |
| This was a touching episode. Subaru's conversation with his parents almost made me cry. Also woah Subaru in school outfit, he actually looks pretty cool in it. Well now that he has confronted his past Echidna shows up, this got really interesting. |
 |
| I think this episode did a pretty decent job at presenting Subaru's point of view. It didn't have great animation but since it's only dialogue, it didn't affect my enjoyment. Arc IV is finally starting for real. After a couple setup episodes we'll be getting more and more into the juicy stuff. Hopefully the recent reviews will take this episode (and the next ones) into account. I feel judging this season based on the three setup episodes alone is unfair knowing what's coming next. |

|
| I like how the past life is shown for a change in Isekai. He finally managed to respond to his mother's "itterasshai", even though this time he actually knows he won't be back... It was a nice touch to an already emotional episode. The ending theme is beautiful. |
 |
| What an amazing episode. It is probably the best episode so far. So many emotions on this one. 10/10. |
 " a scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. i want to line the pieces up--yours and mine. " |
| The best Re:Zero episode ever. I cried just like I did when reading the web novel. Thank you for making this episode, White Fox and staff. It's perfect! |
 |
| A beautiful and emotional episode. Subaru realising one of the most important things, his parents. I almost cried when he was talking to his parents. Imo one of the best episodes in this series. Subaru got his eyes from his mother. He really has loving parents. Echidna at the end in school uniform. She looks good. |
 |
| This episode had so much feels, I was crying watching it. I love Subaru's parents you can see how much they cared about their son. If people think Subaru doesn't get character development this episode just proves he does, it proves that Subaru has changed and isn't the same person he was at the start of Re:Zero. He talks to his parents about who he was and what he felt, and they both encourage their son like loving parents do. Subaru's parents take a different routes back while Subaru goes forward to what awaits him. Those scenes were masterfully done, I can't wait for what awaits him in the future. When Subaru's Dad Said 'Give It Your All' & When Subaru's Mother Said 'Take Care'.... I Broke Down Crying! Episode Rating: 10/10 A perfect episode showcasing Subaru's growth as a character & one of the best episodes of Re:Zero ever. I Loved Every Single Second Of This Episode, So Many Tears Were Shed  |

| Character interactions aren't really the best part of this show. 3/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Were not even halfway through Season 2 and this episode had me very emotional. I love the dynamic between Sabaru and his parents. Sabaru's dad reminds me of Ichico's dad from Bleach. Even though it was a dream it was nice to see Sabaru go back to school and Echidna looked good in high school uniform. |
 |
| A perfect presentation. Subaru finally overcame his past. His character growth is remarkable. Quite a fresh sight to see Echdina in a school uniform. An amazing ED not falling behind Myth&Roid |
| What a beautiful episode! |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Damn subaru has nice parents. Echidina-tan at the end in school uniform looks nice. "Umm father, I have a girl I like, she's just......................................................from another world" - Every weeb ever. |
 |
| What a heartfelt episode, I loved it! Subaru is confronting his past, he had a very tough life living in the shadow of his successful father. Subaru talked about his problems and how he wanted to be hated by his own parents but he didn't know how much he is loved by them. His father listened to him and told him to do his best and his mother told him some very wise words for him to think upon. Now that Subaru has accepted his past and decided to move over thanks to the help of his caring friends, he went to school and met with a surprising guest named Echidna. It's getting more and more interesting~! |
 |
| I almost broke into tears when Subaru remembered that he didnt answer his mother's "itterasshai" the last time he saw her... Most of the isekai dont really go into the past of the MC that much or even what their friends and family are going through, but since Subaru's mentality is such a major part of Re;Zero seeing him face him past trauma and see his parents one last time was incredibly touching. Well done anime, well done. 10/10 best emotional episode! |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| So everything has been made by Echidna to confront Subaru to his past and his parents ? It was WONDERFUL, like one of the best episode of the whole series. It's so great to know more about Subaru's past and his relations with parents, his father and mother are so kind. Subaru's character is even better now |
 |
| It was nice to see some of Subaru's backstory and the reasons why he turned out the way he did then and how that carried over into the isekai world. It seems like he may have worked through some of those issues and it will be interesting to see what implications(if any) that will have on the story aside from maybe passing the witch's trial. |
| Goddamn I can't put to words how much I love this episode. To be honest I haven't been able to connect to Subaru's character, but now after seeing this, he feels so genuine. His feelings, his family. Heck I think his the most "real" isekai main character I've ever seen. Such a beautiful episode, I teared up not gonna lie. That conversation with his parents. Him saying sorry because he never have been able to repay them really hits home. The part when he says that he wanted his parents to hate him, disown him because his been nothing but dead weight. I know many people experienced the same thing. I just love how his parents continue to support him and love him. Best episode of Season 2 so far and yeah never thought that I need to see Echidna on uniform. 5/5 for me. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| This is definitely on my top 3 Re:zero episodes now. It really hits in the feels. |
Rest in Piece, Miura. |
| kind of felt bored from this episode lol. everyone in here crying like how. Season in general is pretty mediocre so far |
| Really loved the new episode. It was quite emotional. It made me cry a little. And also loved that Emilia flashback :) |
 Join Emilia's self-proclaimed knights club if you are a fellow Emilia fan |
| Damn that was amazing. I know it was "fake" going back but Echidna really did a great thing for Subaru with this trial so far. Also respect for the studio for not cutting this episode in half..not many can get away with almost a 30 min episode with such tight broadcasting schedules around. Seeing the ending for the first time in full, they nailed that too perfectly. Absolutely hyped for next week. |
