Well...Like that |
That scene barely even matters so who cares? As @Fappa said the point of that scene is the same just portrayed differently. |
Bananaoranges said: SixPistols said: Now we will never know. It's just a spoon dude, chill out. It's not like it's something influential on the series. The murderous gaze was enough. NO, I WILL NOT CHILL OUT. I waited years for this since I started reading Re:Zero and now my hopes and dreams are crushed. My life is over. |
| I mean they removed the self cutting part in Arc 2 as well... I mean it was just too extreme. |

Guranto-kun said: Jesus Christ, someone here is about to become Betelgeuse because of a F**king Spoon. to be fair, it would have been one hell of a meme worthy scene lol. |

| Someone is really making a big deal over a spoon? Ok...... Lol this entire episode was basically "lets see who can fuck with Subaru the most." It was kind of entertaining, even though Subaru kept getting fucked over. Hopefully he learned something from these exchanges. And I'm guessing that weird shit going on at the end was the White Whale that Rem briefly mentioned a couple episodes ago, because she did mention that it can create fog. Also, we finally got to see the ED visuals. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
SixPistols said: No bro this anime is serious business. If they cut anything important I cry about it for days. Did you cry about Al's scene as well? |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| Solid setup episode, really laid down the areas that Subaru is failing. No way that cliffhanger ends well for Subaru and co. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
Sometimes791 said: SixPistols said: No bro this anime is serious business. If they cut anything important I cry about it for days. Did you cry about Al's scene as well? Not as much but yeah I was a bit saddened. |
| Spoon, what? Who the hell cares. Anyway, glad to see Subaru try to get help. Though his methods were pretty understandably stupid, he's slowly learning. I wonder what that whale's going to do. |
| I need sleep. |
| it wouldn't be re:zero if we were left without a cliffhanger |
| The spoon scene shouldn't be a big deal, come on now. The negotiations with the other candidates failed and Reinhard is gone as well. And now the whale shows up, next episode should be epic. Can't wait. |
| No OP (again) and finally the new ED :-) So in order to get help from other candidates Subaru will have to use his RBD to learn what other candidates desire and use it to make a bargain with them. |
 |
| >getting baited this hard Nice thread. Alright, good episode. Shame that people will probably hate on it and the score will drop because no one died brutally and "LEL SUFFRU SO DUM" but it's great in the context of this entire world. Subaru is a useless fool worked up with rage in a massive city in the middle of a major event, and he's asking for politicians to help a rival for literally no benefit. He can't help himself, really, but it's still pretty satisfying to see him get kicked around for his fuck-ups. But hopefully, he'll learn from his mistakes and reverse the odds. |
✧ |
| I can't believe someone made a fuss about the spoon scene, but I don't see much people fussing around much about the missing Rem scenes! There is no justice in this world! Gah! Anyway... that Hakugei though... too cool. Priscilla is also awesomely portrayed in this episode. I totally love how this episode ends with Otto saying he don't know the man Subaru is talking about, since that's totally explaining of what's coming. Also explaining the hint of why "one would not survive in the White Whale's mist" Next episode is gonna be suffering... |

| Anastasia is cute but terrifying. |
| Hi there |
| A poster wrote in another forum that "...the main problem I have with this show is that it demands we wait an absolute age for any semblance of a payoff. Needs more carrot and less stick." I agree to an extent. It's an excellent show but at the moment I feel like this is an exercise in contained masochism. How much longer can Subaru go with all this madness, monstruosity and butchery, and to top it off have all these incredibly nasty, condescending and smug people rejecting using and/or abusing him? I feel I need a drink after every episode. |

| Awesome episode, worth waiting all week for it, Awesome work white fox! ^_^ |

| Holy fuck, Subaru is really desperate now, the faces he makes are pure horror. At this point, you really have to feel for him as the candidates really have no clue. The white whale is here! (and yes, thats not a spoiler if you guys pay attention ffs) |
| Subaru's act pretty reckless in this episode, not that he never done it like that before. But to put Emilia's camp at stake?! |

| Well, that was a solid ep. Good to see Priscilla again! I barely even remember what the OP and ED sounds like since they almost never play them lol. But that's good, they don't want to waste time! I have an Emilia poster I got at the bookstore yesterday right over my computer, it looks pretty nice. |
| Welp. Congrats ReZero you ruined me Gojira's Flying Whales now. The problem with this show is that the author touts this as the supposed "deconstruction" of LNs, but there's not really any deconstruction going on. The author is just a creepy and sick sadist who enjoys making his character go through hell, but the story still has the same tropes that all LNs have and same otaku pandering, just with a whole lot more tasteless and gross edgy gore. This is no longer the show I signed up for. I started ReZero because it had a likeable, SMART, and realistic protagonist being transported into interesting lore full of political manipulations, mysteries and great lore. I started ReZero because it showed such an MC working it through the problems via brain less than brawn and we saw him figure out things and solve things without pointless asspulling. I started it and loved it because the show could build tension without cheap gores and create stakes without gross edgy Jigsaw level of perversion. It was an interesting world full of mystery that Subaru was transported to and I could not wait to see him figure out what the hell is going on, as well as to see the whole political play in royal candidacy. None of that is here now. Somewhere along the way, the author seems to have forgotten what coherence is or what kind of story it is and just delved headfirst into sadistic torture being thrown into the characters. Because, since the MC can rewind time, you can surprise your viewers with gory and triggering shit, because you can hadnwave it seconds away. So everything can be shocking cliffhanger! Because none of that will end up mattering. So now you can have gross and disgusting ways for MC to die and the edgier audience will eat that up shouting the usual phrases of DECONSTRUCTION, SUBVERSION, blah blah, and other words that Madoka for some reason popularized. But the show is not really doing a deconstruction. Nor is it delivering on the original premise I fell in love with. It feels like author abandoned any semblance of interesting and mature story or sake of cheap thrills and shocking gory deaths, so it can sell and the viewers can be pandered to and kept with the show via countless cliffhangers and dark events. But it is not a deconstruction. It does not deconstruct. It does not change anything, except making Subaru an unlikeable jerk at times and changing the levels of IQ for various characters so the author can deliver "TEH MAXIMUM SUFFERING(tm)". Like in this episode where the author literally makes all the candidates be literally dumb hitler just so he can put Emilia on a pedestal. Oh and lets make Subaru dumb and unable to convince people suddenly because we need teh suffering guyse. How is this the same dude who negotiated with the apple seller in EP1 is beyond me. This show abandoned all the interesting lore, all the interesting mystery and all the elements that made Subaru likeable and realistic, thus turning him into an anti-stu. The show abandoned all of that for sake of becoming an embodiment of the "SUFFERING!" Meme. While still keeping cringy ln tropes in it. So I am out. The show has warped into a weird sadistic thing created by a sick an twisted author who just wants suffering and edge instead of coherence and good storytelling. Its as if you start watching something like Lord of the Rings and then suddenly it morphs into cheap horror stuff like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Saw. And then lets morph it into some horror movie with giant sea monsters. Yet MC still will end up following same path via same waifu filled LN tropes, except he will win via SUFFERING(tm) instead of fighting. I might pick up show again when it is finished and I can just skip all the episodes and scenes that make my stomach turn and cause me panic attacks.Barely anything of importance is happening. In fact all we had for last 4 or so episodes was Subaru's SUFFERING(Tm) and him being an idiot. No plot progression, no lore, no politics, none that I liked about the show. This is Arc2 all over again in that it drags for dozen episodes, except ARc2 had likeable Subaru and interesting lore and mystery. But right now I think I am content with just watching Alderamin on The Sky this season - at least that seems to be an actual adaptation of Ln that IS interested in doing things differently from other LNs and delivering things that ReZero forgot for sake of cheap gore. Its sad to see the show drop the ball so hard after brilliant well directed 11 episodes. It is still VERY well directed and I am sure it evokes all the things the author wanted it to. It is sure as hell not the worst thing in this season, but it is no longer the show I fell in love with and the writing is nowhere near as good as first 11 episodes and I can't handle the gross shit this show now throws at the viewer for sake of cheap shocks. Dropped. 2/5 |

And it seems like at this point, you either see it or you are probably not yet at a point to be able to analyze the deeper meanings in various literature/stories This, so much. I'm starting to generally avoid forums because people have a really bad understanding and act as though everything they would do would be right if they were in any other character's situation. But as they say, ignorance is bliss. |
| Ah, nice run through the candidates to destroy any of my hopes that Subaru had a plan to somehow coerce/use them(at least not yet) Though it really would have been too soon considering his mental state. Those scenes were great for showing him him what he needs to learn and how he needs to teach himself to think. I feel like reading those scenes would have even more impact and help people realize Subaru isn't just 'acting dumb and irrational', but the show does as well as it probably can in doing it. Of course the narrative makes it look that way when you have all three candidates trashing his character one after another, but it reminds of Emilia-from other's perspectives he is acting irrational, but they don't have a shred of a clue of what he's gone through so their reactions to him are natural and how they should react. Which makes things so interesting because he's being graded on a scale of someone that is experiencing things for the first time and should act more cool-headed and articulate, when he's far from being able to do that. And it's going to be cool as fuck when he finally teaches himself to think this way despite everything he knows how his experiences have conditioned him. That's when he truly becomes dangerous, it'll be like he's thinking with two brains. |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Damn he got destroyed in negotiations. Not as good as last episode though. |
| Interesting to see Iron Fang there were a lot of them lol. Subaru also learned some lessons tips in Negotiating. Seeing all the characters and the way they act was interesting as well. Next episode will be interesting |
