| I appreciate shoe-horning every piece of dialogue, even of it feels like an audiobook, but please don't make any action scene off-screen and/or badly animated. That'll be an injustice to the source. I think I love this arc as much as the Ch***** Arc from HxH, though what is already great could have been even better... But we move on. Please rock these last three episodes and force me to add atleast one Re:Zero entry into my favorites section! Btw, my worries are because in 3 episodes, they have to fit at least: 1. Emilia 3rd trial 2. Garf vs Elsa 3. Freddie vs Maylie 4. Subaru, Otto and Petra vs Guiltylaw 5. Freedom for Beako 6. Ram and Puck vs Roswaal 7. Great Rabbit extermination (I guess, going by OP) |

| Garf the man. Betty is pretty cute too. How will the gang get past the Mabeast? The conversation with Archi, then Echidna actually had me in my feels, so good :,((. It’s amazing how someone can see their picture-perfect world, and still manage to return to their world. Lake scene was amazing. |
 |
| Only 3 episodes left, my brain trembles! |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| I was telling myself, since last EP. They are going to put Garfiel, Feederica on a fight with the two psychos, was asking myself where was Otto, only. Subaru situation top. Then, they Will CUT to emilia's trial, which is pretty good tio, but.. c'mon. Just remembered, Elsa quote about almost diyng at the capital, Just another day being remembered How OP Reinheard is. Really excited, for NEXT WEEK ONLY (that Hurts, but.. its life) |
| Once again, White Fox makes another 29 minute episode feel too short, as this episode was really satisfying. The fight between Elsa and Garfiel has only begun and so far, it's very close between the two. Aside from a few "critics" setting their animation standards too bloody high as usual, the battle animation is good enough for me. Nothing amazing, but not rubbish at all. Not just that, but Subaru's progress with Beatrice is going to take sometime for it to work, so while Frederica deals with Elsa's companion, Maylie, Subaru and the others have to deal with an annoying mabeast if they want to get to Roswaal's office. Meanwhile, the second trial for Emilia was the main highlight of the episode. Not only was her interactions with Fortuna and Geuse really cute and bittersweet, but I was impressed with how White Fox animated Emilia jumping off the cliff and into the lake, including a slow-mo just before she hit the water. I do look forward to seeing how Emilia gets on with her third and final trial, as well as the ongoing battles that're happening at the same time. |
| Really clever title. The Elsa vs Garfiel fight was underwhelming ngl. I was expecting a lot lot more but, sometimes you don't get what you want.  Beako :( Subaru being a pro at messing up situations like this! I honestly was sooo mad at him when I read this but I promise you the outcome more than compensates it! Fredericaaaaaaaaa! LMAFAOOOOOO Twisted thinking, lmao She tried tho! Lmaooooooo Looks nice, although sad it's CGI They would've been a nice couple! Hahaha Okay, so compared to the web novel they changed some details : Correction: *was (sorry) Oh boy, she has noooo idea Emilia has finally, grown up! Echidna, why are you hurting? Gorgeous shot! I know that this was about Emilia but I just can't stop thinking about Echidna. There's more to her than meets the eye Yet another 10/10 I honestly feel like 9/10 because of some details changed and the weird looking mabeasts (I just can't get over them, lmaoooo) but it deserves that 10/10 Great work WhiteFox! |
Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| Hopefully Beatrice will finally budge next episode haha |
 |
| The scene of Emilia jumping into the lake was beautiful. |
 |
| I preferred the way they did it in the webnovel. The way they did it there was it was the all of the action at the mansion first, then Emilia doing the rest of the trials. The way they cut it off the action here may turn off some people. And the action was a little janky. The content is still great though. |
  |
| Didn't know this show has an ED |
  |
| Episode was a bit weak imo. The biggest problem for me was was cutting the mansion fight in the middle of it. I got hyped that after some heavy dialogues eps we would finally get some intense action, but oh well guess its gonna be for the next one. Betty and Subaru conversation ended a bit weird, you would think he will use any method to convince her to go and escape with him since everyone outside is literally fighting for their lifes so idk why he said he can't be ''that person'' after all that. I expect we get a proper reason afterwards. And like Echidna said, after the first trial, the next two were going to be easy in comparison. Yea, an impossible present with Fortuna, Geuse and Emilia was cute but nothing impressive imo. That lake scene though, simple beautiful. Just wondering why was Echidna crying, guess we still need to know a lot about her and her past. Overall 3/5 episode. |
 |
OMG I LOVED THE SCENE WHERE EMILIA JUMPED INTO THE LAKE Another episode down 3 more to go. I was not expecting Emilia to finish the second trial in just 1 episode thought it would take at the very lest 2. But i'm not complaining. The talk with Beatrice was a surprise I was expecting Subaru to say "I am that person" so Im a little curios how Subaru is gonna get Beatrice to help him. Overall another great episode 5/5 |
| Garfiel holding his own against Elsa is pretty neat, the boy got spunk. Seems Rem was saved by Frederica, while Subaru got kicked out of the secret library again XD Another trial passed by Emilia and only one remaining, I feel that this will be the worst one... I wonder what this Trial will show her of the future and how grim it might actually be. Excited to find out. |
 |
| I don't know if it's this arc in particular or the fact that i am a few years older compared on when I started watchin Re Zero but this is starting to feel, for me at least, really boring. Did we already passed the peak of Re Zero and the rest is just more of the same (or worse) or the pase starts to go a little bit faster on the following arc? |
 |
| holy shit, this episode was awesome from seeing the "happy world", the Emilia teasing the2, then Emilia going away, remembering both the bad and happy parts from before, saying good things about Subaru, Ram and everyone else, and also... "onii-chan" and ofc, my favorite part had to be the jump, just wow, that stop when she was close to the water wonder if that would make a good profile picture curious about next episode, i would probably run away just from hearing that "a disaster yet to come", f** hell haha the fight looked cool, go Garf the beast is scary, wonder if onee-sama will be able to beat it Petra throwing her tongue before running away was kinda funny (not reading comments for re:zero and titan for obvious reasons) |

Just wondering why was Echidna crying, guess we still need to know a lot about her and her past. Overall 3/5 episode. To address some of your problems. 1. Yeah the LN jumps between the 2 point of views. Don’t really know why WF chose to adapt it in this specific format but I guess it because you would either end up with a full mansion episode and a full Emilia trial episode or half and half of both. 2. He hasn’t given up yet. Mabeasts were a bit distracting lol 3. I wouldn’t say that it’s “impressive” but it’s great to see her character develop further regardless. 1. Welp if it is like that even in the LN there is not much to do here, not a fan of how the author handle this but is fine i guess. 2. Yea I know he hasn't given up yet, I just found it weird how he was this close to convince her but he didn't. I suppose Subaru likes doing things the hard way xD. 3. Totally subjective here and I understand that but we already saw tons of her ''character development'', she remembered and accepted her past, she grows up and she finally stops crying for her problems. I think I just want some epic conclusion to all this sanctuary thing but welp, I guess that's main female character for you x'D |

SubaruSIMP23 said: Your points don’t make much sense to me. Subarus nature has always been brash and direct. He didn’t mean what he said in that context but Betty misunderstood him. As for your point about the mansion, there’s 2 ways they could’ve gone about it. Adapting her trials back to back or adapting the mansion thing together. Yeah that was a bit of a weird jump. The 2nd trial was easy because it was supposed to be much easier. Subaru spent like 10 minutes on his and so did Emilia. It’s much easier because having to face her unthinkable present was much easier than her traumatic past. She’s accepted it and Echidna literally stated that 2+3 would be much easier. Don’t really know why you think it’s weak lol 1. Just because Subaru is brash and direct doesn't excuse his dumbass behavior in that moment lol. Plus he has mature way pass the point of not reading the room. Like his logic was: Let me be an asshole while two psycho assassins are trying to kill us lmao. 2. Why would the second trail be easier the first? Logically again, that doesn't make any sense lol. Are we going down in difficulty? There's no way you comparing the experience of his second trail to hers lol. Subaru worked because we didn't know anything about the presents outcome. The results we never get to see and he's reliving it all through the trail. It worked really well, because it was unexpected for him and us. That shit was insane. As for Emilia, she knows and we know what happened because of the first trail. So it doesn't land because all the character development happened already. It would have been better if Emilia went in depth of how this would have been different if she stayed hidden or how much they could have been a family. Exploring upon the fact that because she showed herself to Geuse, she ruin a possible present of having a mother and a father. An entire episode of this would have hit a lot better than what we got. That's why she ate, said they would make a good family, and then dived into the lake for some reason lol. It's weak because its bad writing and I love this series lol. Sometimes you miss and that's okay. It may have worked well in the novel version (I'm an only anime watcher) , but here it felt like a weird filler. I would have rather seen the development of the mansion, then have seen Emilia go on a picnic. Hell they could have shown what's happening with Ram lol. |
 |
| Honestly, I appreciate the story and character development, dont get me wrong here, but the pacing man, THE P...A...C...I.....N.....G is soooo slow and I feel like its getting slower every episode even more. Last 20 episodes, its just sanctuary, sanctuary, sanctuary, if its not directly sanctuary its just trials, trials, trials over and over again. Dragging dialogue which is not adding any value right now, maybe some of it could be important in the future episodes(idk)? I don't know how to describe the feeling I have when I'm actually watching it, I feel bored but still enjoy the show? I hope the next season pacing will get just a lil faster. |
| Emilia's "unthinkable present" was so sweet ;_; Her wanting to be admired may sound a little arrogant, but she actually wants to be a better person for the sake of all those who love her. That's the good "arrogance" that everyone should need. Am I the only one that would have preferred a whole episode all dedicated to her, though? I really wanted to see all the situation at the Mansion BEFORE getting back to Emilia. |
| It wasn't explained in the LN either. My theory is |

growl432 said: I don't really know what your age has to do with you finding it boring, I might be misunderstanding you but that sounds quite pretentious if you meant that how I'm interpreting it. It's not about the age but rather the patience I used to have to some dialogues when I was 15 compared to now (or more like how I finded it cooler before?). The same can be said about the pacing because I find it really slow. Maybe the meaning is lost in translation/culture but you probably experience the same thing when rewatching an anime you really liked when younger and suddenly it's not as cool as you remember, you still loved it but it's not like the first time, almost never its like that. That does not mean that this series is meant for kids or that this show is bad. You can't really say that about any show, at least not in an objective matter. I don't think this issue is only mine and maybe someone can relate if not with this series, with other series. |

Someanime said: Winter_Fox said: What the hell am i only one who love this episode? By far this is the best one for me. Emilia development was crazy. At first, i didn't see her change after 1st trial but the 2nd? I can see how her attitude change a lot, how she perceive things and finally able to forget what lies behind the past. It was heartwarming, and make me cry at best. The only downside for me was the fight scenes, some animation look weird and all, but I immediately knew that this was not the highlight of the episode, but Emilia powerful 2nd trial. It will be better if we see emilia trial first, then put the mansion fight after. It was upside down so the emotional moments was cut off. Don't mind them; @Gilgameshuu was always more compatible with melancholy than Hector, his job is to nitpick. The others are either Tsunderes or shocked by how good this episode was, easily the best and the next ones will even surpass it; when was the last time we had a well-written female character in an Isekai? Never! I don't know why you're so angry lol, I found the Episode good it's just that some people will be disappointed because of the buildup from last episode, the Episode rating already proves it. Don't know why you keep on trying to start an argument with everyone, I'm a source reader, and I was just a bit disappointed with the fight. Am I not allowed to express my opinion? |

ChainxBastard said: 1) She didn't let him finish, which was an unexpected outcome. 2) You missed the point. Emilia's second trial was about accepting her CURRENT present (Subaru and the others) while rejecting her blissful present (life with Fortuna and Geuse). Whats more, one line alone was deeper than more characterization I've seen in a very, very long time. And that's when she said in a quite indignant and annoyed manner, "Geez, just how long have I been protected?" If you watched the Frozen Bonds OVA (which it referenced) then you'll understand even more. And finally, when she said how she looked LESS like Fortuna than she thought, was beyond any other character moment we've seen besides Subaru in Episode 18. Emilia is not only finding out more about who she WAS (past), but also, who she currently IS and WANT to be, which we saw flashes of in Season 1 even though she played a more passive role. I used to be very neutral on Emilia at best and somewhat down on her, but now she's my second favorite character and watching her on screen is a gift. She's literally blowing me away with each scene. It's like watching a butterfly come out of a cocoon before your very eyes. If you can't see that then maybe you need to rewatch the series. 1. You don't start off the sentence by calling someone a dumbass and expect them to let you finish lol. That's more of a lie advice lol. I feel like common sense wise he would just not have said that. 2. I got the point. It's not as deep as you making it. She accepted and that's good, but it hasn't been put into action. Hell she still being protected lmao. The second trail did not help with this. It's different for Subaru however, he accepted the RBD until he had to face the realities he may have left behind. The people that were effected by his death. The point I was making was, it didn't land as intend IMO. I didn't have to see her go on a picnic lol. I got the point and all the meaning, but I already knew the point because of the first trail lol. 3. I don't know need to re-watch the series. You (and some others) are just fan-boying lol. Nothing wrong with that lol. To me it wasn't an impactful episode and a lot of parts didn't make any sense. The writing was bad here or at least in the anime version. |
|
| I simply loved the lake reflection scene. The slow motion and all.. Yup, I'll wait for some fanart based on this scene for wallpaper purposes. I wonder why did Echidna cry, though? I'd love to see why. Is there going to be some sort of explanation to it? |
 |
| "im sorry the trials aren't over yet" i sleep " Echidna crying" real shit? whats up with that everyone that says the show is best watch on binge is right because good god this pacing 3 episodes left...lol no way this arc is ending but the quicker the better there are parts i can see people liking but it has for the most part been quite boring for me redefection scene caught me off guard was neat |
 |
| What a masterpiece episode. 5/5. The garf vs elsa fight seems to be picking up and the Emilia trial part.. wow. I'm honestly speechless but it was incredible and this season has been great for me. I'm also happy they played the ed this episode. |
 |
| I dunno, hearing Echidna and seeing Emilia act, I have the feeling Emilia is still in denial she was given by hope Subaru forced on her. The Sanctuary was probably built with Emilia/Satella as catalyst in mind and I wouldn't be surprised if going through all three challenges actually completes the ritual where she merges with her other half. We have to remember it was Roswaal originally who presented them this task. So what if all is actually going according to their plan? What if the future she's now heading towards (her coronation and overtaking the kingdom) is actually leading to disastrous resolution? And they are still forgetting one thing, ice and rabbits. Seems like something that will come as twist in the very end, along with the fate of other witches (my guess is the ritual will probably set them free, along with Echidna). |
