Like all episodes thus far, this was a mixed bag for me. Some of the animation was incredible, some looked flat and akwardly strewn together. The directing was OK, though I wish the camerawork was better so as to hide irregularities in animation. The CGI... I can't call it good, not even OK, but I've seen worse. However, I couldn't really feel Regulus' dominance on the scale that was intended and that's 100% due to lackluster CGI. I realize this was an expensive episode produced by not the most affluent of studios, but I can only keep accepting this excuse for so long. Still, a 7/10 at least, all facts considered.

Would've been 8/10, but... Someone explain this to me already: where the heck is music in this season? That's been my biggest gripe so far. Emotional moments are often lacking in this department and fights fall flat due to unnatural silence. What is going on? Where is music in Re:Zero S3?

I have to agree with this, I already mentioned this a couple of times before in the previous seasons, but the thing I like the most about Re:Zero is the OST, in my opinion Re:Zero has one of the best soundtracks in the anime industry, but this season is lacking in the soundtrack department for some reason.

It's not a bad season though, at least I can admit that the production quality and the animation have been great so far, but yeah, the soundtrack is lacking here which is a shame.

Knowing how Regulus makes himself impervious to damage doesn't tell you anything about how to prevent him from keep doing it. Also, Regulus is wrong in his assumption that "just hitting him hard enough" wouldn't be a threat to him. His body may be frozen in time or whatever but it's clearly not frozen in place (as shown by him getting constantly knocked around to his discomfort) so if he gets pushed outside the gravitational field of whatever the name of the planet they're on is Regulus would be done for. Shouldn't even be that hard to pull of given that Reinhard can apparently just get new abilities on demand, shame on Subaru for not going for the rather obvious solution here.

@Noumu you very wrong ahah, you have to remember that you are watching and thinking from the viewer perspective not subaru! Regulus knows the getting constantly pin down will make nothing to him it just his pettiness it huge ,he doesn't give a F, because at the end of the day he knows that they will never found is weakness or atleast he tought! imagine being alive 100+ due to the power you recieve, you get very confy... so yeah,I always say subaru is lucky because Regulus doesnt give a F, bcause he can end the fight at any second! and Tappey was evil for the setup on Regulus but I do understand it!

Just to put you in perspective Regulus at this moment is more powerfull with reinhack in the anime, they made him goofy but he is not that goffy on the source and the anime did not make justice to show his power yet its way more scary!!

@Alternate_Wraph maybe you calm down a bit with the attitude, my profile literally says that i'm strictly an only anime-viewer. i'm not a LN reader, it's not a spoiler, it's information the anime skipped on just to give you a bigger understanding and extra depth. Homura posts after every episode (i believe his comment his the 3rd of 4th in this post), on LN info skipped in the current episode chapters and mentions stuff that were changed in the anime compared to the LN. no story related future spoilers. you're good.

@Ron014 Half the time people say stuff is shit skipped over it ends up being explained a couple episodes later. Or in a Breaktime. That's how I got the source of Elsa's immortality ruined for me. Her being a vampire was supposedly a detail the anime skipped, before we find out in the episode that she dies.

And considering the fact that Regulus is an enigmatic villain, I highly doubt the shit you told me is stuff we were supposed to know. Since I highly doubt we'd have his POV, which would be the only way we would know.

Regulus's power is interesting, but I can't yet grasp how it allows him to do all the things he does. Oh well, it's good that they know how it works now.

Man I enjoyed that make it session between Priscilla and Lilianna Masquerade. A moment that I may watch again. It seems though that Sirius was able to strike a nerve by mentioning Iris and the Thorn King. There's something about Priscilla's party that she hasn't gotten over.

On Subaru’s side of things, it seems that with the help of Emilia, Subaru has figured out Regulus’ ability and now they may be able to fight back and have a real battle.

Let's see how this goes.

Capella ambushing both Felix and Crusch, the former may not have the power to combat her, but it's Crusch...or rather, Anastasia in disguise thwarting her to kingdom come.

With Reinhard and Subaru continuing the battle against Regulus, with Emilia's help, her innocence definitely rubs on Regulus's face, and funnily enough, even going for his private parts, the Ice Princess's tactics with Subaru's strategy didn't quite work out either. And as many plans as they can concoct, nothing is working out against the Little King, and probably, finding the hotspot will render his weak point, which it does to prove that he doesn't have a heart.

Back to Priscilla and Liliana, facing Sin Archbishop of Lust, Sirius, is certainly a problem if one of them succumbs to her curses, which Liliana was momentarily taken over and Priscilla having to kiss her just to snap her out of confusion. Clearly, Priscilla doesn't appreciate Sirius one bit, and goes full combat while Liliana preps her Masquerade.

While Reinhard goes to Infinity and Beyond, Subaru having figured out Regulus's Authority as being able to stop time with his own body, the look on his face proves it all. And Sirius's psychological attack on Priscilla...sure got the better of the latter. Ykes...

Also Reinhard gonna pull Saitama. He was flying towards moon. He's gonna pull Saitama, right?

Emilia aiming for Regulus's weak spot made me laugh. Too bad it didn't work.

I have no idea how Subaru managed to figure it out but he did a good job. Although I don't see how they can get past such a broken ability especially since Reihard is currently flying into the sky.

Iris and the thorn king? Wut? Are we about to get Priscilla's backstory?

Unexpected Priscilla kiss scene. Wrath seems to know about her past, really wanna hear about it.

I didn't know if they mentioned it already in the previous seasons but I didn't know she was married. Otto mentioned it in the first episode about her inheriting her late husband's assets or something. Probably a political marriage or some kind.

I’m liking how they gave each fight proper screen time, even though the main focus of the episode was taking down Reinhard.

No way Emilia actually went for the groin—gotta be part of Subaru’s plan, ‘cause a girl like her wouldn’t normally do that on her own.

Never expected that kiss though… but damn, was the sound of Priscilla groaning really necessary? Whatever—I enjoyed it!

Yeah so i think Priscilla is just my favorite character now. I LOVE the way she just handles things, it's great! The kiss had me by the throat lol

And Subaru, once again, shows his amazing deductive reasoning skills! This fight against Greed is only truly winnable because of him, and I'm so glad to see him have come this far from being that whiny coward from season one!

Actually massive props to Subaru for lasting so long without dying, man's actually accomplished so much without needing to reset. Cool to see what I imagine is his many past experiences and use to being under pressure help him make more clearer plans and decisions that have helped him both live and progress so well, having a list of plans to trial and error an "unkillable" man was smart and thinking about it now, probably no better candidate to help chip down the list like Reinhard.

Subaru making the relation to all the Archbishop's names / titles to IRL Star names was not what I expected, even more so for Subaru to remember them at a time like this. Honestly a cool concept for Star names linking to Archbishop's titles and abilities, but really raises the question to how so many things from the IRL world have somehow made it to this world.
Can't deny Regulus between screaming about his rights and being a silly goofball with some of his reactions, he did have some cool moments this ep. I lowkey think it's his calm demeanour paired with not constant belittlement towards his enemies that made me like him a bit more then i thought.

Man i still think Sirius is worth it, like a crazy I can get behind and i lowkey can feel the passion in some of her actions and words. Also like Liliana said, she really does kinda feel like a person you could have a kinda nice chat with besides the Authority.
Holy fuck Priscilla just devouring Liliana was crazy, I'm pretty sure Priscilla might of caused more long lasting changes and rewired Liliana's brain harder then Sirius was doing.
Priscilla backstory is always a welcome, I was going to say kinda crazy thinking about it now how she's almost soloing an Archbishop so i definitely want to know what her stories like.
