Based Subaru ignoring that Emilia was kidnapped and finally going after Gluttony for Rem

That was obviously not the reason. He found out later from Al that Gluttony could also be there

@Anayan_Kashyap if you're a novel reader you misinterepreted the post credits scene so bad and I'm not even sure how you'd do that. Arc 5 was great payoff from arc 4, just because it doesn't focus on having named chapters every 2 seconds doesn't take away from that. This was perfect payoff from the setup and makes a ton of progress for the greater story
@OpGod7393 Till the end of arc 4, Re:Zero was largely a Character driven story. Mostly focusing on Various characters, Character introspection, the psychological depth. And
all the characters carried the story. That's How I See Re:Zero. The way arc 5 progressed, it was a whole different experience.
Arc 5 does have Thrill and mystery, I enjoyed it ngl, but minimal of all the previous arcs. The story does make progress, and it's good, so does the characters but more in terms of strength. While I loved Garfiel and Wilhelm's character a lot this arc, as well as Reinhard. But characters doesn't have a psychological role in it. I did realise how developed Subaru already was till the end of arc 4, yet I expected more of him metamorphosis, which we get in arc 6 and that would what I had expected from this show.
I enjoyed the direction the story goes this arc, but the way this arc is written, it has many side fights which didn't sync with me. Unlike the fights from the previous arcs, which had a Base built upon for an intense moment. That lacks here. It also loses the gritty, melancholic atmosphere it had consistently maintained throughout multiple arcs till arc 5.
And so, for me it simply doesn't beat the previous arcs 4 and 3.
The atmosphere and side fights, which were a Lot tbh, was a turn off for me. The animated version doesn't feel lengthy and boring since fights are quick when animated. I can only see this as a base for arc 6. I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hopes for, although I acknowledge what this arc did.

Interesting thoughts. I'm not a Novel reader, but would you say that you enjoy the Anime version of Arc 5 significantly more and do you think it can make the big moments better and more memorable for you?

Yes Arc 5 feels different from the rest arcs, but the feel of unease and disturbance is still strong. The thrill is exhilarating. The music plays a huge part here too. I think the music got even better

Probably the best episode yet (not counting the entire movie we got for ep1) and Im glad the animation quality is great again. Big improvements over ep1, which understandably could not get the same detail per frame with the absurd length we got!

Man Subaru must feel weird with everyone praising him for WW when they all forgot about Rems contribution.

Lust wasnt a loli after all.. but a dragon?!

Crush making that girly voice :)

White fox are doing so much justice to this arc man I couldn’t ask to be in better hands. The animation in this episode was among the best, probably the best we’ve seen in re:zero.

Man poor Garfiel, last week he went thru the emotional turmoil with his mom and this week it’s Mimi, the one person who was there to help him get thru that breakdown. Now he’s blaming himself about that 😔 the animation on that stab scene was also crazy btw.

The lights going on in Wilhelm’s head as he realises who the woman swordsman must be is pretty cool in anime form.

Nice little bit of foreshadowing from Julius with the “if I were in your position” speech to Subaru about Gluttony. Didn’t remember that from the books

Lmao Subaru shit talking Capella was brilliant. White fox really cooked with Julius’ spell and then Capella’s healing factor too. She’s terrifyingly powerful and you mean there’s THREE of these mfs in the city at once. Yikes. Subaru trying to act tuff in front of Crusch is cracking me lol(like his legs) 😂I like this vulnerable version of Crusch she’s so cute 🥰

And that post credits scene lmaooo. Regulus is a fool but I can’t wait to see his downfall.

I applaud thee for giving that poor man the attention he's seeking by making the most vapid rating comment of the decade.

By making a similar type of comment on yet another White Fox show!

...saw somebody in the club scene today, foolishly state: "the first 4 mid Re:Zero eps are over" - LOL, not sure what they were watching. I know last week, I said don't like D-riding a show; but I'll ride Zero's pogo stick a bit more(have to), with ep 4.

I mean sure, it was less "action-oriented" than eps 2 and 3 ig; but who gives a toot, this isn't shonen. It's a strikingly beautiful blend of fantasy, drama, suspense, and so much more. The high quality overall, has remained consistent throughout all 4 eps IMO. 🙏

Ep 4's balanced display of both, the hammy Sin Archbishop's shenanigans; AND the depicted results of their twisted actions, were well measured. Plus the very convincing atmosphere of dread, felt by most ppl in the city(even us), was pretty pure.

Crusch, steadily regaining confidence thru more time + memory; getting back to her tactful stride. She cuts straight-to-da-point with Kiritaka, when assessing the validity of his info. LOL, no BS with her direct query on the cultists' capabilities either, whether it's "opinion" or factual.

Smooth leadership sense shining as well, when reassuring Subaru. Him sticking the landing w/bum leg, while carrying Crusch; priceless, pained expressions gained a chuckle too.

Props to OST composer, Kenichiro Suehiro and his team; not just for the scoring/selection, but the tone as well. Shifting from mezzo piano to forte, timed right at all the opportune spots. Brilliant, noticeable, and surgically precise; IMO aw.

"God -Complex" reminder, in the post credits was a creepy jolt... just in time for Halloween week. 💀

On that holiday mention; every Wednesday this Fall, feels like Christmas... and ❤ Elsa too.

Poor Mimi, she and Garf really tried their best out there.
I would really like to know what the hell Heinkel is doing.
They have to make sure they can't get to the witch and the entire city goes goodbye.
I am curious about Wilhelm and the female cult member.
Roy Alphard, Subaru has been looking for you.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Poor Garfield keep suffering. First the ordeal with his mother now he has to carry the burden of putting Mimi in this position.

And I ain't came here to simp for that uglyass dragon, show Lust in waifus form.

Atleast best girl Crusch in action finally after 35 episodes or so.

Maybe she hasn't lost her edge yet after training back up again. Good little scene when Subaru tried to act tough infront of her after carrying her. That leg looks painful.
Subaru has really matured up, he just isn't blindly rushing for Emilia and setting his priority right. Also good to see him getting respect from others.

Now he finally has gluttony, the one he was most desperate to take on. Meanwhile he is potentially getting NTRed. Regeulus has no shame and straight to the point huh. Emilia remember you are pregnant becz of that kiss now tell him that.

Subaru seem the most calm i ever seen eventhough there's like 8 enemy or more, his growth is touching. I wonder if they will just let the city destroyed and hand over the bones or reevacute the citizen and fight them one to one. Mimi and Grf try to escape unharmed but fail and Emilia that last scene.....

I'd feel awkward as fuck if I were Subaru, seeing everyone expect him to pull something amazing out of his ass when he's just an ordinary guy who can reload checkpoints.
I'd kill myself just to have something new to report in the next loop.

It's only getting more better. The villains are even more villainous. The heroes are more heroic. The horror more horrifying. The hype is real. I'm cheering for my boy Subaru as always. I love the mystery of trying to figure out what the witch cultists powers are. Right now it feels like the odds are fully against our protagonists but at least for this episode we get to see Subaru as a hero and the rest of the cast are also treating him that way which makes me happy and excited. I imagine by the end of the season he will be able to control the battlefield. Super excited.

The episode was nice, but it's too bad the action scenes weren't that great, it was the definition of average, I'm not watching this anime for the action scenes anyway but I do want better animation in the action scenes since it makes everything I watch even better.

It's good to see Subaru doing something in a fight, he doesn't appear to be that useless anymore. He can't do much, but at least he can help a tiny bit Indiana Jones-style.

MIMI NOOO!

WHERE'S OTTO!

Damn, we are 4 episodes in and Garfiel still isn't having the best of time. Then there's Reinhard, he's really getting countered this arc by all the bullshit around him. Felt is so cool though.

So it's Typhon's remains that's in Priestella. The one they showed did look like her with the flower crown and of course Al mentioned her. What do you know Al? He also knows something about Gluttony, I guess he has history with the witch cult maybe?

Julius being a real bro this season, Ricardo too. Also, it just dawned on me that Subaru does not have Beako right now, so he's not at full strength, he's actually doing pretty well though, even with the busted leg.

Don't tell me that female witch cult member is Theresia bro, nooo. Or it could just be some witch cult member Wilhelm has history with, but my first thought was Theresia.

All these archbishops are fucking insane lmao, everytime they speak is just some out of pocket shit. Didn't expect as well that the dragon we saw in the OP was Lugnica herself.

Crusch cute. Was worth crus(c)hing Subaru's legs for her.

Roy Alphard? There's 2 of them?! Well that explains why Gluttony refers to themselves as we. Roy Alphard kinda don't hit the same as Lye Batenkaitos though.

REGULUS YOU FUCKING BITCH!

No OP, but there's ED this time, opposite of last episode, we're so back again.
