| Echidna's kiss to Roswaal definitely surprised me. I find it clever how they used black and white coloring for the opening parts of this episode tbh. This season has done an interesting job at explaining characters' past so I think this week's episode managed to meet that goal again. ED theme for this week's episode fit pretty well. |
 |
| ED with the visuals was best part. Really well made. New character as well...looks like he is a really baad guy though. The focus on our two girls were great and quite sad as well how they said "Sayonara" to each other |
 |
| Alright Echidna, you really kissed young Roswaal? That was a huge surprise element for me. ED is finally here and it's good. |
 |
| That kiss came out of nowhere and made me feel a little uncomfortable. Sucking mana through kissing, where have I seen that before, haha. Again, slow paced episode. The pacing for this arc really kills a lot of enjoyment for me. This episode had some great dialogue and some hard hitting emotional moments, which would have been amazing had I not been thinking the entire episode "this season really needs to get moving". This episode was pretty much half a flashback and then the second half was conversation between Subaru and Roswaal. This arc has had more standing around and talking than the Monogatari series, which says a lot. The flashback was well done and showed us more of Beatrice and her connections to the other characters in the past, and really fleshed out a few characters who desperately needed the development. It also gave us the much needed backstory of the origin of the sanctuary. The conversation between Subaru and Roswaal definitely could have and should have been shortened, but the overall deeper themes within their arguments was valid and stayed true to their characters, though in the end, it sort of just seemed like a waste of time. In short, this wasn't one of my favorite episodes of this season, but that may just be due to the overall pacing of the arc. I liked the first half of the episode more than the second half. I really hope that the pacing takes a shift into high gear in the remaining episodes. |

| That Dona kiss got me on BRICK. The ED is stunning too Betty and Ryuzu farewell was beautifully done as I expected. Was pretty emotional reading that scene. Roswaal and Subaru’s voice acting during their fight was superb. Loved the OST that played during that. Hector and Roswaal fight was as epic as I’d expected too. Excellent episode. We’re almost at the end of Yen press translated stuff, and volume 15 got pushed back until March :/. |
 |
| We got ED. I repeat, we got ED! Betty's pouts are something else :D  If you wonder why they didn't show Echidna's face in the flashback, you must wait till the last episode to find out xD |

| Episode 7 is out tilted thw beginning of the sanctuary and the beginning of the end. We start off with a raunchy scene with echidna and roaswaal and we are taken back to the time where the four were together. The warlock of melancholy, hector is approaching and so they hurry the plan to start the sanctuary. Rsowall gets beaten up by hector using his powers, presumably the unseen hands, and echidna comes out to stop hector from killing roswaal. Beatrice and ryuuzu go to the crystal where its revealed that ryuzu must sacrifice herself in order for the crystal and her od to be in sync and protect the sanctuary or risk killing everyone. Heart wrenching scene follows as beatrice tries her hardest to stop ryuzu but ultimately she makes it. Roswall tells sabura that he believes everyone is weak, whilst subaru is the opposite believing in their strength and they both agree that they push their ideals on the ones they love. Great episode, solid stuff, seems like echidna is a bit more of a madness than expected! |
Check out my channel @Criticiza on Youtube to watch my vids ;) |
| Seeing Betty and her pouts was the best part of the episode. The goodbye scene between Ryuzu Meyer and Betty was really sad. They really know how to play with my feelings. :( So we got to see young Roswaal. That kiss scene came out of nowhere. We finally got the ED song with its visuals. |
 |
kotomine33 said: _MushiRock11_ said: Damn, the ED is just beautiful! I've been hooked to the song for a while, especially, for the past two weeks so being rewarded with quality visual like that is fantastic. Starting the episode off with that glorious smooch, no wonder why Roswaal can't break free. Something to do with mana though, good luck convincing me that xD. New villain this time. A new Demon voiced by Junichi Suwabe? Yes, please. Power level of the series is out of this world. Ryuzu Meyer-san's past revealed too. Heartbreaking final moments between her and Betty. Going to need the subtitles to get the full image. Likewise with the whole convo between Subaru and Roswaal. Kind of worried if this arc will actually finish by 5 episodes. 2.5 hours doesn't seem nearly enough for me, anime-only here. But well, Wednesday nights are at least definitely assured. Hoping for an one-hour finale tbh Haha, WF, thats what you get for being so dedicated, people started being greedy, hahaha. Hoping for the same, cant deny it :D Anyway, the episode was still longer than standart, having only ED and no OP. Maybe they will return to not having OP and ED for the rest of the episodes? I think this is at least a realistic greed on my part :D |
| Haha well I think I did enjoy that kiss, it's nice to see Echidna like that even though apparently it wasn't like that in the LN. Anyway this episode was absolutely great with once again very interesting backstory moment especially for Roswaal 400 years ago, and as always Subaru was incredible at the end, this man truly knows how to perfectly speak. |
 |
| We are back on having no OP, but we finally got an ED! Dang Echidna giving the pure young Roswaal a kiss, quite hot intimate one too. What a surprising backstory.  Great eps, Betty and Ryuzu shines aswell, but the lack of Emilia, tho XD. But very happy to see the ED visuals is full of her, very good one aswell. |
 |
| Hector. Trio past. Both have same ideal, act according to love. Weakness vs Strength. Garfiel's choice answer. Ryuzu's last world. Betty :( And finally Ending song, its really beautiful though. |
YES |
| amazing episode, re zero is a god damn master piece |
| check out odd taxi |
| I didn't expect to see Echidna kiss Roswaal as the first thing of this episode but it looked really good. I liked Devil of Melancholy, his VA's performance was good as well. Ryuuzu and Beatrice's backstory was sad. They finally added the ED, I loved both the visuals and the song. |
 |
| Finally we saw all the sin witches and warlock yeay |
  ♡hyena zzZzzZ♡ |
| Am I the only one who thought that Hector and the older Roswaal are really alike? Hector does that elongated singsong thing when he talks like Rowaal and it looks like Hector was wearing a really similar outfit to the older Roswaal too - I wonder if all that is relevant to something later on? I have to say though, I was a bit confused after this ep... why did Echidna create the Sanctuary, and what has Roswaal's goal been for 400 years? I get that it's something to do with Echidna but what exactly? |
 |
| If you watch closely you'll see that one of Roswaal's eyes belong to Hector. katie_potaty said: Am I the only one who thought that Hector and the older Roswaal are really alike?

I think Roswaal copied Hector's way of dressing and talking on purpose so he doesn't forget his loss to him that day and will continue becoming stronger so he can defeat him one day I guess? |
| Funny how Echidna shamed Emilia for kissing Subaru, but kissed Roswaal as soon as they met lol. I guess she really is a witch who occasionally does nice things. Knew this was going to be a cool down episode. I wish we had a whole ova of Roswaal past with Betty, and the others. I love the goodbye between Beatrice and Ryuuzu. It's hard to hate the people you love. So many unspoken feeling Betty must have towards her mother. Who the fuck is Hector? Everybody always on some other shit in this series. I love it lol. Not to much to say in this episode. Just a little cool explanation. Guess we heading to the Mansion arc now? Can't wait. 3/5 |
 |
| Damn, Roswaal took a big fat L. Great episode that had me hooked thoughout. And nice ending visuals. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What is happening? Subaru knows that story now, so what? So most of the episode is a flashback, okay, but what's the point? I don't like this pacing, binging it would probably be much better than watching weekly. Veery slow. upd: ED is great tho, style is similar to kaguya season 2 |

| A slower episode showing Rosswall and Echidna's relationship 400 years in the past and how they were able to protect their plan of creating the sanctuary. Subaru is now taking the lead and let's see if Emilia really is strong as he believes or if Ross is right. What surprises me is how they are able to make an episode only about backstory and a Ross and Subaru's conversation so interesting, dynamic and tense. Excellent episode. |
 |
| Some more good backstory and flashbacks. Although, it was also nice to be back in the present at times to see Subaru, Garth and Roswaal's ideals clash. |
 |
| See part of Beatrice/Ryuzu backstory got me excited again to continue to watch Re;zero. Was a compact,simple, and clean storytelling. I hope the mansion battle isn't far. And would be great if Ryuzu get out of the crystal after the barrier release and meet Beatrice, so she can get her will to live back, I suppose. |
 |
| Like everyone has said, that kiss between Roswaal and Echidna took me by surprise. I wonder how many otakus are going to kill themselves after seeing their waifu performing such lewd kiss. This new chara Hector looks interesting. I don't think it was revealed the reason why he attacked the Sanctuary, but I hope it gets explained eventually. I see Roswaal adopted his mannerisms (or that is the impression I got). Seeing Beatrice suffering is so sad :'( At the end, Subaru and Roswaal are similar (a pair of simps), but with different approaches. Seeing how the negotiations with Roswaal failed, I want to see what Subaru will do next. I like how Garfiel developed, when Roswaal was taunting him about his mother I thought he would rush to hit him, but he seems to have changed for the best after all. |
 |
| Man, seeing Betty lose her only friend makes me so sad. Makes you understand why she values all the people and saved Subaru as well when he was in the mansion and the desperation to never lose anyone precious to her again. Great episode but felt the kiss at the start to be unnecessary tbh. It felt like it was put there to add a reason for Rosewall to fall in love with her. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| What a way to start the episode, no wonder Roswaal has been simping for 400 years lol. Holy hell Roswaal just got butchered by that Hector clown. Was sad to see Ryuzu and Betty part ways like that. Back to present we have the Battle of Simps, Roswaal's in for some fun when he finds out Emilia cleared the trial. |
 |
| This episode should have been called: The day Roswaal got pounded so hard he became a clown. Anyone notices how Roswaal now talks and dresses like Hector?. One thing that did bother me though, is that they cut or "censored" some stuff on the Roswaal vs Hector fight.  👁👄👁 Lmaooooooooooooooooo Now it makes sense Beako :( OMG!, I love his way of thinking, hahah And now Roswaal reveals the soul binding contract Roswaal is PISSED! OMG! Subaru dissing Emilia OMG!, the parallels. Remmber that Subaru x Roswaal ice statue from the OVA? YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS, THE EEEEEEEDDDDDDDD: OMG!, the QUALITY ON THIS: 10000000000/10 THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING! |

Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
gianni said: Where the hell are the fights??? All this useless dialogue that no one will remember when this season ends is clogging up the episodes one after another. I don't remember Re:Zero being shonen. |
| I noticed that a huge a part of the episode the angles didnʻt show characters eyes, for example, we couldʻt see Echidna top side face in all the episode. Is it intentional for the plot or just for budget? |
