| What the fuck is this? They forced fully copped every rem scene from the episode! fuck you guys. That was the most important part from the series. How why this type of force full ending is not acceptable. Bad for my heart. There is no impact in the confession scene I'd get annoyed. I was thinking about giving this a 9 but no 8/10 for for the shit ending :( |
| ^ That ending is made for people like you, who have reduced the series to absolutely nothing beyond Rem. |

I swear to god man they are everywhere and they are still spreading cancer like that. But i dont worry...i await patiently for the beginning of the second season to see their reactions.

Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
| This anime was a fun ride Overall 7/10 |
 |
| So the fight against Petelgeuse reached his climax. Really liked the animation there. Didn't expect Julius to get injured but at least they were able to kill Petelgeuse. Looked risky what Subaru did when Petelgeuse was about to control his body. Was interesting to see a little bit more of the witch. Of course something had to go wrong with these magical stones. Was pretty funny to see which crazy road Otto and Subaru took to catch up to Emilias chariot. Wilhelm is such a MVP in all these last episodes. I couldn't believe Petelgeuse was still alive or how you want to call it. But his final death was super satisfying. That explosion of these magical stones was way bigger as I thought. The rest of the whale got completely destroyed and also Subaru and his bird got hit pretty hard. The scene at the end was just beautiful and super heartwarming. Sure there was no Rem or anything else by tbh that wouldn't had fit at all. So I'm absolute fine that Subaru and Emilia finally got there moment. Subaru x Emilia :) Overall an absolute rollercoaster of emotions for me. I'm not sure if I could have done what Subaru did after all what happened. Just from watching often I got so mad or sad or didn't understand why so much bad things happened to him. Can't wait for season 2 and everything what will happen there. |
 |
| Petelguese ended up embodying all of the negative traits of Subaru in one fanatical package. I wish this anime did more to explore that but hey, at least it's there. Emilia was way too forgiving of Subaru if you ask me. Specifically before the firebomb rescue scene. For what he said to her, I would expect her to at least have some lingering qualms about how possessive he was (and at least to an extent still is). Emilia needed more time to develop, for all I know she's insanely forgiving like that, but the closure between them is going to be incomplete to me until that aspect of the relationship gets addressed. This season was a weird ride. Plenty of appreciable stuff, but Subaru's temporary character shift from episodes 12-18 was too drastic and contradictory to what Arc 2 established to keep my disbelief suspended, and I believe most of the criticisms around this story stem from it. It's getting a low score from me, yet I'm looking forward to the second season. From what I've heard, my major complaints aren't going to remain as issues going forward, and I would love to be able to leave them in the past. |
| Lot of mixed feelings on this one. My boy Willy saved this show tbh. |
| Excellent series, especially the final arc. |
| Great ride overall. The thriller in the first two arcs were amazing. I also like most of the characters.. but I'm actually surprised how you people get that gassed about Rem lmao. I thought the first two arcs could get some idiots drop it already. |
-EnvyV2- said: If you have some questions, you can ask them (here or in PM) and I'll try to answer them :)Good end overall, so many mysteries left unsolved plus we have 0 idea what the witch is like or what she is trying to do -EnvyV2- said: The LN author said that the full story will have 11 (or 13) arcs. The first season adapted first 3 arcs. The second one will most likely adapt only arc 4.i think this anime wont end with 1-2 seasons. Yes, this will be a long story :) |

| What a fucking ending. I was all happy and feel-good from the wholesome ending, and then that bullshit happens? Are you kidding me? It is rare that a show as hyped as Re:Zero genuinely impresses me as much as this did, but man, Re:Zero delivered. From its interesting premise and fascinating characters, to finding which way Subaru was going to get fucked a particular episode, Re:Zero sought out to accomplish something unique and it did a damn good job at that. It's a shame the second season got delayed, but I will eagerly await it with baited breath. 9/10. |

| I finally finished this! I put this in the back burner for the longest time and I finally finished it. Loved every minute of it and I don't regret putting it on hold because I was able to binge it during quarantine. I'll be watching the movie later tonight or tomorrow since it'll be Saturday here. I'm looking forward to season 2. Too bad corona pushed it back but it's still premiering this year. I'll probably peek into the LNs if I have time. |
| 臭い- |
| Was a pretty good rewatch, some aspects came off worse than during the first time, but for others I gained a new appreciation. As a whole the show is still great for me, especially the portrayal of emotional moments. Looking forward to S2 in a few weeks. |

Alexcenna said: just watched back and finished it, the happy ending so far but I was curious about way Subaru killed the petelgeuse, was that a 'death note' I thought ?! Is it correct to assume that you did not watch the Director's Cut version? :P As for the Gospel ('death note'), it's like a logbook of events/fates in a way. As for how Petelguese died, is that he most likely fell victim to him suddenly losing the Divine Protection/Blessing aura around the carriage. The anime doesn't go into detail on how such things work. If I recall well, Otto's carriage (or his dragons perhap) nullifies any major resistances (wind, friction, road bumps) which allows him to travel at very high speeds. So when Petelguese tried to grab onto his gospel that Subaru threw, he got too far from the protective aura, following which his hand got stuck in the spinning carriage wheel's axle and his body went *poof*. I recall it happened to Subaru as well (in episode 12 I think...) when he strayed too far from the dragon while traveling to Lugunica's capital. There are other examples of such blessings that were similarly shown but not explored fully. An example would be when Reinhard and Elsa were fighting all the way back in the initial episodes. Elsa throws a quick dagger at him but it immediately swerves and goes into a different trajectory altogether. That's due to one of Reinhard's divine protections, which deflects projectiles. Then there is Crusch's blessing which makes her feel a gust of air but only when the person speaking is subjectively lying (it functions more like a polygraph test). |

You have to wait till arc 5 to get an idea this is actually the case :) Ah, I see. I am only up to date with most parts of WN Arc 4, so I was purely guessing here :) It was something that nagged me when I was watching the anime, like why did Elsa need to throw a dagger like that before she left. Upon noticing closely, there was this weird shimmer around Reinhard when the dagger was about to land on him, following which it took a completely different trajectory. Just felt like putting two and two together here. Do you mean to say that the gospel 'seals the fate', while the surround events work themselves out to confirm that fate? |

| The anime is average at best. The characters are like cardboard cutouts and unlikeable for me. Even though I don't like him, Subaru is the only character with development, Emilia is boring, Rem seems more like an embodiment of waifu material than a character. Crusch was the only one I liked. The emotional moments seemed cheesy and had me cringing more than evoke any sort of feeling in me. And I didn't like any of the action scenes except the ones with Elsa at the beginning. Still, the storyline is engaging and I would like to know some answers that the first season failed to give, so I'll be watching the second season, hoping I like it more. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |

Well that was at best 15% of the total story and the real thing hasn't even begun, also you can't expect all characters to be developed in such a rushed manner because everyone will get their development arc in the future seasons (season 2 concentrating more of Subaru and Emilia and other guys from Meyers residence but also the new characters that will really "start" the story). Also Subaru didn't received his "development" yet lol...the only characters that received their development arc are Rem and Ram (yet Ram will still have development moments in the future but still). Again this its a LONG a$$ story (with at least 5-6 seasons till will really end) and thinking that everyone should have got their development so fast its kinda an rushed though if u think about it...everything will come when their time has arrived, we just have to wait and everything will be explained/resolved/developed. |

| For whatever reason or another, I had actually watched most of the series when it first originally aired, but fell off during the episodes with the White Whale. No idea why I stopped back then really, because I was enjoying it immensely. Could've been lack of time. I dunno. Anyway, with S2 on the horizon, and Crunchyroll uploading those Director's Cut episodes, it was the perfect time to get back into it. I watched the entirety of the Director's Cut version - actually finishing the whole thing this time - and just as I remembered: this series is fantastic. Boy, they just don't make many isekai like this nowadays. They've certainly made some good ones down the years, not denying that, but Re:Zero stands out big time. If we're talking wish-fulfilment bullshit that constantly assaults the isekai genre, Re:Zero makes sure to never be that. I mean, sure, nice to have 2 qts like Rem and Emilia in your life, but I would never, ever want Subaru's life. And if we're talking OP main characters that can also do no wrong, Subaru is certainly not that type. He's a regular dude, fucks up quite a lot, and somehow hasn't gone insane after all the shit he's been through. The writing also takes him to task when he's being selfish. Mega props to the original creator on that, as sometimes that behavior is just seen as no big deal. Subaru's held accountable when he's being overly-entitled and, obviously, he will wallow in his pain and misery. But this dude learns from his mistakes, not just to progress to the next save point, so to speak, but he's also capable of learning from his mistakes as a character and a person. Subaru's character arc this season all ends up beautifully culminating in that wonderful reunion and long conversation with Emilia in this final episode. Subaru apologizes, realizes he was being selfish at times, even if, unfortunately for him, the love of his life will never(maybe in the future?) fully understand the shit he's going through. He's been through way too much for any one person to bear, but he's able to stay strong, and believably and genuinely change, all the while not going batshit insane. In the end, he's rewarded by Emilia for his genuineness and transparency. The author showed some mercy here! =P Fascinating character study and Subaru is an excellent and well-written character. One of the strongest parts of Re:Zero. And, well, it's just a great, interesting story that constantly keeps you invested in it. With a fun and lovable cast of characters. Beatrice is so underrated. I love her. Interested in learning more about her, and her past. Overall, a fantastic show. I'm excited to watch the new season weekly with everyone. First, I have to watch The Frozen Bond OVA. #TeamEmilia |

| A solid ended with the truth revealing by Subaru. His confession for Emillia. Its all about loved. Re:Zero made me believed, that zero not be enough to stand alone on this cruel world. Its need a friend, so i just put it a 1 numbers to support it until the end of this series. 1 and zero. Subaru and his zero relife journey on that shitty world. Could he got a happy end on his right routes? Seriously, its a nice poetry, eh? So, at last, a 10/10. |

badabass said: A solid ended with the truth revealing by Subaru. His confession for Emillia. Its all about loved. No need to explain another bullshit, like why Conti finally dead in the end while Subaru write something that i did not understand. Maybe next season might explained it a bit? Idk. Then, Satella as Emillia was not wrong at all. I may connected it with the whole situations that happening on Subaru's side. But, for this time, the end of their sweet reunion must be enough as a closurement. Lets just ended everything on to more positive to pointing out how good this series was. It is not explicitly mentioned since the anime took some strong "show-but-don't-tell" approaches. In Episode 12, there is a short scene where you see Subaru almost getting thrown off from the carriage during their travel to the Royal Court because he probably tried sticking his head out of the window too far. > Otto (driver) said his land dragon (or carriage) is protected by a Blessing which reduces all major forms of resistance to speed, and thus, his carriage can go very fast. > There is a limited area in which the protection stays active. Like a bubble. > Conti is struggling to maintain speed with carriage. > Subaru throws Gospel out, Conti reaches back to grab it, Subaru punches him and knocks him back. > Because of that, most of Conti's body is no longer in the blessing's bubble and he is grasping at the carriage, near the wheel. > Subaru writing "THE END" in the Gospel, demoralizes him. > Conti's hand slips into the wheel's axle, pulling and crushing him As for the Gospel, it is most likely a diary which confirms a future if something is written on it. |

That book like a death note reference? So the death of Conti cause of what exactly? I still confused. Lmao. How Subaru could thinking about writing the book? I don't see any experienced that he had about the book in his previous sequences |

I don't see any experienced that he had about the book in his previous sequences Conti's death is a result of both. The book can be seen as sealing his fate while the wheel's axle crushing him is the cause behind his fate. As for Subaru thinking of writing in the book, I don't remember the exact conversation but it was something due to Mimi, Hetaro and Felix mentioning stuff like how the Gospel is the most important book whose instructions are strictly followed by the cultists in one of the previous episodes. But yeah, I think it is fair to call it a Death Note reference :D. Much like how his "Rental Goa" is a reference to the Spirit Gun from Yu Yu Hakusho. There are other such instances with small references regarding popular works scattered around, for example : Beatrice being nicknamed as Beako and if you have played the visual novel of Umineko no Naku Koro ni, there is a witch named Beatrice who is nicknamed Beato. Even the Unseen Hands are like a callback to Elfen Lied. I'd say all of these fit the theme of Subaru being an otaku himself and therefore, inserted by the author knowingly. |

Now it seems more relatable for the story of how Conti dead. But it would be nice if the narration gave an exact function of that book. Sometime the hinted might be too vague to realise. Example with that book utility and the reason Subaru's picked it up. Oh, well, this show really had something to think more deep than i imagined. Lol. The references like an easter egg too for me. I just realise that Rental Goa Subaru's said in the last battle. But the other think might just be skipped by me. Lol. Btw, thanks for your kindly explanations. I just hope these season 2 that start from now can bring more vibes for me than i feel on this one.... |

| Took at least last episode of the season for Subaru to confess. I gotta admit, it's better to end a season that way. And the last scene were it left you hanging is not something you'd often see in anime. For me, Re:Zero is just so-so. It's not really recommendable and for anyone who'd ask me to recommend an anime, I wouldn't include this. I hope in season 02, there will be huge improvement. I'll keep my fingers crossed! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
My overall enjoyment with this series went something like this:
For this episode specifically, I didn't really think much of it aside as a satisfying way to wrap things up. But in its entirely, I can say I enjoyed a lot of what Re:Zero has to offer! It's a great deconstruction of the isekai genre that shows why it wouldn't tangibly work for someone like Subaru to flawlessly function in this type of new environment. Plus some great character development for the MC along the way. I'd give this a solid 8/10 for now. I heard the plot really gets going after this point as Subaru, Emilia, and co. venture deeper into the Kingdom of Lugnica so I'm defo stoked to begin S2 |
| i definitely hesitated a lot on this one, but i think hands down this is a 10/10 anime from me. The story was gold, this anime had me feeling almost every single human emotion known i swear, when it wanted me to feel fear, i felt it. When it wanted me to feel like Subaru accomplished something? I smiled with him. When it wanted me to fucking break down into tears remembering how lonely my life is and making me their bitch with a single rem scene? I admit my defeat, they did it. The ideas were amazing, the character building, true was weak in areas, but when they wanted to build on a character, they did it good. Visuals, from the start to end felt fucking pristine, to the first Bowel Cutter fight scene, to Julius and Subaru's final dance with Betelgeuse, overall animation quality seemed to be spread evenly out the duration of the anime, i never felt like it dropped at any point, just a constant flow of good visuals. Sound effects were great, to the witch's ahohohhohohh ohoh when Subaru fucks something up or the sound notifying you his certain death, these are some examples that managed to put shivers down my spin after how well both the sfx and scenes can compliment each other. Story 10/10 like i said, golden. I cried, i laughed, i screamed and i shit myself out of fear, this story was indeed a masterpiece. 9/10 Character wise, however the man himself Subaru, overall i loved his character and development. I can't really explain it clearly but, seeing Subaru develop since ep 1 has to be one of the most amazing things i've seen ever. Seeing the guy in ep 1, compared to the last few episode is like water and oil, both the same character, yet they both stand out so much in there own way. Start Subaru, this enthusiastic guy thinking he can do everything by himself, thinking he's the mc of this world and thinking he alone can save Emilia. Compared to end subaru, this person has witnessed death time and time again, he's realised he can't do everything by himself , he's realised relying on others with a clear mindset is better then not relying on anyone at all, he's thankful for the people that have helped him along the way and knows he was selfish. His interaction with other characters ranged from, funny, loving and wacky, to 200IQ caring and thoughtful, maybe even heroic. Visuals 8/10, for me felt great all way through, fight scenes felt all equally remember able and flat out amazing, character design were interesting, each had pretty unqie design in terms of clothing, characteristic wise, each character also felt like they had something unqie to them e.g subaru's track suit or hair style, Roswaal's colourful outfit, Beatrices hair or pupil shapes, and so on. Other designs such as the white wales or malbeast's seemed pretty creative and unique in there own way. The gore and blood was well animated, again felt like this anime would of been lacking without some of the gory and traumatising scenes. 9/10 Amazing use of SFX that complimented well with certain scenes, definitely added that bonus kick to the horror, action, heartfelt moment scenes, i think the "witches call" is permanently etched into my brain. OP and ED were crisp, both MYTH & ROID songs were amazing choices, with "Redo" probably standing on top as my favourite, just because of how fantastically well the song fits with the animation and theme of "redoing". Also because of that one fight scene were Subaru actually flicks his badass switch to fight the Malbeast and this absolute banger starts. All in all, this has to be one of the most hardcore version of "trial and error" i've ever seen. No, but fr loved this anime, can't express enough of my thanks to it. The ending definitely touched my heart, having that feeling of looking back at were Subaru started compared to now, happy he got his happy ending, guy deserves it. Aww, but in my heart, i know Rem will always be the best to me. |

| Pegelgeuse is a sloth, but he is a true workaholic. Even being half-dead did not stop him from giving 200% effort to achieve his goals, lol. I quite didn't get how they damaged him and eventually destroyed, but oh well. Subaru finally confessed his feelings to Emilia. It was really a cute scene, though I wouldn't mind if it was shorter. It was a great anime with very good visuals, likeable characters, cool music and decent plot. While I dislike isekai genre in general, this anime is something I would describe as "truly different isekai", and adding "in a positive way". The cliffhanger in the post-credit scene was shocking, but good at the same time, as a cliffhanger should be like. |
Adnash93 said: The Gospel Pegelgeuse had records the past and predicts the future of its holder (the predictions are vague, tho). If I remember correctly Subaru wrote "the end" there. Whether it ended Pegelgeuse life or destroyed his will to live is open to interpretation.

Probably it was a combination of both.I quite didn't get how they damaged him and eventually destroyed, but oh well. Yeah, I also thought it went more or less that way. Like, Subaru paralyzed his ability possess others, Julius severely damaged his body, but the final attack to completely destroy him was performed by writing certain phrase in Petelgeuse's book. At least, judging from the anime, it was the main trigger to completely destroy Petelgeuse. I didn't know that his Gospel had that kind of future predictions. Was is told in the anime? If yes, then I must've forgotten about it, haha. |
Adnash93 said: Well, it was said indirectly, IIRC. When Subaru meet Petelgeuse, Petelgeuse many times said something along those lines: "Why there is nothing about you in the Gospel?" or "The Gospel said nothing about this. Who are you?". It heavily implies he read something about future from it. Part 1 of season 2 has more about the Gospels.I didn't know that his Gospel had that kind of future predictions. Was is told in the anime?

Yes, something like that was said directly, however I understood it like a very general prophecy of what would happen or what needs to happen in order to fulfill it. Something like a tale that might be understood differently depending on a person who reads it. But agreed. It doesn't matter whether it was detailed or not, because if it had history of a certain Archbishop written in it, then writing "the end" as the last sentence could indeed affect the reality (here: it led to total destruction of Petelgeuse). I started watching Season 2 Part 1 shortly after finishing Season 1. Cool that you mentioned that it will explain how the Gospels work like and what kind of artifacts they are. That made me even more interested on what is gonna happen in the further episodes. :) |
| I was hesitant to rewatch this (directors cut this time) but I’m glad I did! There was a lot I would’ve forgotten before starting s2. That cliffhanger is big oof, I’m kinda glad they didn’t include it in the original or I would’ve gone crazy lol. I’m finding it hard to rate re:zero overall. It’s a really good deconstruction of the Isekai genre, but at the end of the day I still had to sit through an Isekai. I really dislike the general fantasy setting, character designs/personalities, and art style of re:zero, it just feels so generic to me. This basically means that whenever re:zero was in its “normal” SOL moments, I was kinda turned off, it was like an “eh this is tolerable I guess” sort of feeling. But man whenever re:zero was in its gritty high tension plot twist moments I was SO into it. The animation was always so fluid and the voice acting was insane, and for someone who really wasn’t attached to the world or its characters, I was VERY impressed by how well they developed Subaru (and rem’s) motivation/character arc. The other characters I could do without, but those in particular came such a far way from the beginning. (also Beatrice and Puck those two are perfect I love them) Taking allllll of this into consideration I think I’m going to settle on a (perhaps generous) 9/10. Far outside my comfort zone, but hard to deny the superb execution |

| I really enjoyed this! I though I would hate Julius in the end but he became one of my favorite characters, I hope more of him is in season 2 :) 8/10 (or an 8.7/10) |

| Yeah, that was 'aight. It was 'aight. Haven't read the manga so I'm not gonna judge it on what scenes they left out or anything, just on the anime itself. Had a lot going for it, it was solid, with really not much to complain about. It's really going to come down to personal preference and what your tastes are to determine whether you give this show a high rating or not. This is definitely one of the smartest isekai, if not the smartest, thanks to a more complex written character in that of natsuki subaru. Thankfully this is not the empty husk of a shell that other isekai are such as shield hero, which really lack any true substance. Solid animation, solid characters, and a solid story about our boy subaru trying to make everything be alright. Started out really liking the witty character of subaru, then started to dislike him for seemingly acting stupid and like a child. Then episode 18 happened and everything was let out. From then on you get an even better understanding for him until the last episode as he lays on emelia's lap as all the events are tied together and subaru lets his feelings out that while he may have initially been selfish, ultimately it was all for emelia, the woman he loved because... he randomly met her in an alleyway I guess...? Still kind of bummed that rem poured out her heart for him and sacrificed her life for him on multiple occasions but subaru shot her down in a split second. At least it didn't leave any bitterness in either of them and they both came to an understanding. Still sad though. Want to talk about rem who was pretty much absent in the last few episodes. While she is my favorite part of the show, she also kind of breaks it for me. If she weren't there, then I'd be 100% behind subaru's efforts to save emelia. But because she's there in the background being a top tier waifu, couldn't but help thinking about her during the last episode when subaru was being all lovey dovey on emelia's lap. Basically the love rem has for subaru is the love subaru has for emelia, they died, a lot, for the ones they loved. It just sucks man. But I guess that's the whole point of the series, PAIN. That said, that ending with the subaru and emelia just letting their feelings out was very satisfactory for me, wasn't expecting such a good conclusion because everything (for me) before was overall lackluster. Some really good moments, even the downtime wasn't utter trash, but I was kind of bored a lot of the time. Now I know this show doesn't really need a villain because the conflict is more based on subaru vs. the world, but our sort-of-main baddie being Betelgeuse was just annoying asf and not compelling at all. But other than him I didn't dislike any other character, good writing here. And so our MC who transported to another world with no powers whatsoever saved the day and saved the girl- thanks to a power boost from top tier waifu rem giving him all her love and recharging his motivation. Anyway, a solid series, looking forward to watching those ovas and season 2, can't really say anything bad about it, but just isn't totally my taste. 6/10 |

| @BadJoash It seems you didn't watch the director's cut. I think you will be surprised by the first episode of season 2 (that episode is the final episode in arc 3). |

| @mozgow So I just watched it, didn’t know the directors cut included that. Thought it was just a bunch of minor updates. But holy shit that would’ve been brutal if they kept that in the original back in 2016... Anyway thanks for letting me know, I’m glad Subaru brought up such a delicate yet important topic, and also was a damn good Segway for season 2- which I’ll get around to watching some time |

| 10/10, no doubt in my mind. Anime is not perfect, as nothing is, but they did a fantastic job of adapting the light novel. |
