This was a good arc. I have high expectations for the next one

We all know the REAL reason why everyone likes Rem is because she's horny unlike Ram ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hopefully nothing goes wrong during the date

And I died.
Rem's smile was tooooo MABUSHIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO BEAUTIFUL <3<3 I'm in love!!!

Really loved her story. Now her obsession with Ram totally makes sense. Ram sure was amazing. I wonder who exactly cut her horn tho? But she's also awesome. And Roswal supplying her mana was nice to know.

Anyway that little Puppy sure wasn't little lol

And I'm so happy for Subaru getting his date with Emilia after all that suffering.

Why are all the girls in this series so much <3<3 Sux that there was no Betty this ep tho :(

Rem is my personal best girl now tho <3

OP song playing during the fight with the puppy was perfect :-)
And so was Rem's smile at the end :-)


(you can open it in new window to get bigger version)

But EMF (Emilia-tan major fairy) was great as well :-)




Oh, and if anyone missed it, it was the blue-haired girl that was controlling the mabeasts.

Rem and Ram had a pretty fucked up past....not surprised we didn't get the OP/ED visuals in this ep, it's expected at this point but I don't really care because of how great each episode has been (and we technically got the songs in the background anyway, so that was nice). A nice conclusion to this arc, and the art during Subaru and Rem's sentimental conversation was really nice. I'm also happy Subaru finally gets his date with Emilia. He definitely earned it after all the shit he went through in this arc.

Now we move onto this infamous 3rd arc that all these source readers keep hyping up....there have been a couple times in the past where the hype from the source readers didn't deliver (for me at least) but I'm certain the hype from the LN readers this time around is truly justified, so I look forward to what the next arc has to offer.

This episode was nice and we finally got to find out Rem and Rams backstory. Looks like Subaru wont be dying for a few more episodes now.

Is Rosewald trying to grow Rams horn back?

The first half of the episode is about twin sister' story of the past. I guess no need to rush it, since it's a 2-cour episode
To be always compared with her "prodigy" sister And so that's why Rem learn the "hard" way.
I never happy saw Roswaal ever since that Subaru's first encounter thought him as a "clown". LOL
So it's a "happy-ending" for this arc, I guess?

And some nice Quote by Subaru too.

To me it seemed as if she was going to die otherwise.
Reminded me of this old anime Chrono Crusade, where demons required their horns to get supply of mana from the atmosphere, and if cut they would die after a while since they need mana to be alive. Or something like that o.0 - its been a while since I watched it.
I imagine its something similar in Rezero.

I got a question for the LN readers....Why did that massacre happen in the flashback? I dunno if I missed something but that wasn't clear for me and also why does Rem blame herself for Ram getting taken out?

Also going by the scene that he had with Ram, I'm guessing that it was Rosewaal that cut her horn off?

EDIT: Wait, so they got Phantom Troupe'd then?

The starter segment was confusing. So Ram was apparently utterly powerful, then their village got attacked by ku klux klan, Ram lost her horn and Rem was glad because she finally got to be the "sister that is useful" ? And she was ashamed of it and the guilt from feeling that way made her over-work herself in her sister's stead.

Their backstory is so Tsukihime that it hurts. I mean if I am understanding the episode right it is literally copy of
which I guess is what Roswaal did here?


Either way - holy shit the amount of development this arc gave to Rem and Ram and the complexity and depth of character they have now. Emilia who? Subaru should just forget the "I am so nice and that's all I have going for me" waifu prize at this point. Subaru and Rem have so much chemistry together.

Likewise Roswaal's imitation of Emilia also gave great characterization to him, as well as the moment where his motivation is finally revealed.It really made me curious about his character.

Directing wise this episode was perfect. The op-as-insert moment felt a bit abrupt and out of place though. Its as if they wanted to HAVE it in, but did not know how exactly so they just dropped it on top of final confrontation.

The downside of the episode? The final scene with prizeEmilia. REALLY hate the sexist trope of "waifu as reward for trying" nonsense. IT literally established Emilia as nothing more than "cute waifu motivation for Subaru". You can literally replace Emilia with any other "Ln waifu" be it asuna or any other at this point. The only thing I can about to hope for now is that the show actually uses this nonsene against Subaru somehow, because I am really not feeling this trope.

And Emilia needs characterization and some sort of plot ASAP. at this point Rem and Ram are miles upon miles above her.

4/5 for episode.

NOT ln reader but it seemed clear to me that it was because Rem felt glad that Ram lost the horn - you see her smile when it happens.

Fantastic episode again, The twin sister's story was very interesting. So happy that the air time is back on schedule
Ram was a genius no wonder Rem developed an inferiority complex, I must say both of them looked really cute as children too.

When the OP played during the fight I got so hyped up and started grinning like crazy XD
Subaru's use of magic and stabbing the sword was really awesome, Though eventually Ros-chi saved the day.

Subaru's little pep-talk to Rem was really nice, Glad to see her get over her complex. They shared quite the nice moment. Rem's smile was beautiful.

Emilia was so cute at the end <3, Subaru's glee after getting the green light for his date was such a great moment, Almost palpable XD
EMF XDD
Hope we get to see the date next episode, Interesting bit with Ros-chi and Ram, Will we see Dragons in this show? That would be so awesome.
Can't wait for the 3rd arc to start. :D

Also lol at the author's twitter. He is already preparing people for the stuff that awaits them in arc 3 and apologizes beforehand. He also says he is prepared to get a lot of messages where people tell him he is a terrible person ( not serious of course ).


Twitter is still going ham over this episode, man feels soooo fucking good to be re-zero fans.

And so ends the second arc. Had a feeling we'd get Ram and Rem's backstory, but it wasn't what I was expecting, to say the least, but it was definitely pretty interesting. Also interesting to figure out exactly what role Roswaal played in that; it seemed as if he cut off Ram's horn, but then if he was there would he not have been part of the Witch's cult, as I'm assuming that they were the ones attacking the demon village (for some reason). If he is part of the Witch's cult, while this would explain wanting to kill the dragon based on the mythology we've heard about it and the Witch so far, it also makes me wonder if anyone at the mansion knows, other than possibly Ram. Makes me wonder if Emilia is little more than a means to an end for Roswaal, given what he wants to do.

Of course, this assumes I'm not being an idiot and making a connection that is not actually there. Either way, I'm very hyped for the third arc, but I'm wondering where Subaru's new reset point is going to be.

Oh, and who was the blond maid in the flashback? We definitely haven't seen her around the mansion before now.

Props to this episode for being non-Barusu centric. I loved the characterization of all the other characters (bar Emilia, who has been taken to be something of a trophy instead of a person now). The Roswaal rescue was excellent, though the deal with slaying the dragon opens up a whole can of worms there.

Looking forward to the next arc and more stupid Barusu antics and their fatal consequences.

Hm interesting backstory for Ram and Rem, and I see Rem feels guilty for being happy about Ram's lost horn. So Subaru didn't cut her horn, or did he?
Great magic usage Subaru xD

Subaru's truly fanatical like a demon~


Ugh one smile after another.
Another pure smile that we must protect!


Onto the third arc!
Oh and how is Roswaal related to Ram? Why does her body belong to him?

He finally got his date again. This was such a Beautiful episode.

A perfect conclusion for this arc if I do say so myself. The back story for Rem and Ram was amazing. Love how it seemed to be in the form of a dream. Makes sense since we only saw it from Rem point of view. She had it rough trying to match up to her sister, and on top of that she felt happy when her horn got cut off. Ever since then she been trying to atone. Sad.

The ending was the best part. Rem and Subaru talking was just beautiful. When Rem started crying and smiling, it was to much for me. Then that fucked it up with ram siting on the clown. I don't know that shit always creeps me out.

Subaru finally got his date again. I'm so happy for my boy. I hope the next arc is really good, cause this one was beast.

why though? with this kind of anime, the waiting, the feeling when the next episode finally airs, discussing it, reading people comments doesnt matter if they are agreeing or disagreeing with you, are the best experience ever.


especially with this underdog show which was shotdown early by "critics", labelled as another "sao" clone.

So Rem didn't lose her demon powers huh.
I feel like the author gave away their backstory too quickly and took the mystique away from these twins, I liked that mystery surrounding them and how we didn't know what their mortal standings are, now we know that Rem will ride Barusu's cock all day every day, he did however introduce even more questions with that last scene involving Ram and Roswald, which is intriguing.

Finally, that fucking arc is done. Think it should've ended like two eps ago, but that's probably asking for too much. At least they got rid of the backstory of Rem and Ram in this episode and wrapped up the Mabeasts.

Love how they needed to shoehorn a shallow date between Subaru and Emilia at the end to remind us that she exists.
Either way, great episode from what I've seen. Patiently waiting for subs.


Not really too ecstatic about Emilia playing this barely tangible goal of Subaru, it just feels like a waste of a character sometimes. Dunno if it's possible she may be a villain and they're distancing us from her for some reason but, meh. She is just seems kinda there to me at times.

2 Things missing to make this anime perfect:
1. How is Subaru a neet? He is such a smooth talker, fighter, brawler, etc... xD
2. EMF is literally a trophy right now. The Date part at the end was somehow ''eh..?'' after that Rem Scene.

Still, was an awesome episode and AOTY so far.
