Kek, gotta love salty LN readers. Give me more of your salt!

Regardless, Betelgeuse was 11/10 this week, Matsuoka is simply brilliant as him and is one of the most entertaining characters of this show.

Glad to see Subaru helping out his white-haired waifu. Gotta put in the work for the OTP to set sail.

Also Julis and Subaru have a very good dynamic going, hope the payoff is good next week. I'm prepared for the ultimate Re:Zero cliffhanger.

Of course when everything goes just as planned it's not as exciting. But I can't wait to see the last episode fight because you know they'll pull all the stops.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I'm sure that's just something that happened later in episode 1 again... basically a premonition that we got to see before it happened.

Where Subaru and Emilia died by Elsa... yeah, remember?

HYPE! Subaru was an absolute BA! He used every bit of info he had into putting that plan. Acting confident and charismatic. Triggering Beetle Juice left and right lololol. Dat flying Beetlejuice was so hilarious looking
The Bromance with Juli and even Felix is amazing too. I was grinning throughout the episode :D And for the final showdown to take place at the spot of ep7 :O

PLZ WHITEFOX!!! Ep25 be 50 min PLZ!!! There's still quite a lot of content left so if they don't do that it might actually be kinda rushed

It was a good episode. It was definitely quite a fast paced one as well.

That Felis bite on the ear. XD

It was nice to see some of the conflict that Emilia has, Subaru walking into the mansion wearing that cloak and acting like a henchman was kinda of funny.
Really liked the scene with the kids accepting Emilia.

Everything else just went way too well I guess, Subaru put his knowledge to good use and managed to get everyone to safety and outplay the cult.

Fight scenes weren't really great but I guess that was never the show's strong point. So Subaru and Julius vs Betelguese. Judging from what I see Betelguese will probably get beat quickly.

It all ends next week, Let's see what kind of ending we'll have.

Bruv, what are you talking about?

EDIT: Is it the part when he tells the dead Emilia on the floor, "I will save you" in the intro of the first episode? Because now I noticed something odd. As if the witches hand took a past Subaru to her world.

My guilty pleasure desire is going up immensely through this episode. Is it SO bad I want an episode where it is literally Subaru and all important characters in a room then Wilhelm stands up with a list and tells everyone of all the amazing shit Subaru has done so Emilia's faith is restored?

I felt the same about 'god damn I want to see their reactions to his death!!!'. From a quality screenwriting point, it'd be pure wish fulfillment but god damn it they TEASE us with him being under a robe and Wilhelm not mentioning that Subaru is the reason for the treaty with Crusch... sometimes you wanna see MC get some appreciation, you know? Or see people be saddened by loss of MC, It's terrible Ik but we've all had that guilty pleasure.

God damn it..... give us some wish fulfillment, we've suffered so much during this series, we've earned it, no?????

This was actually a pretty good episode, and after seeing the episode itself, yeah there were some animation problems, like a few expressions art derps and some of the animation is quite choppy at times, but it didn't really took the experience away for me. I actually like it, but I think they're going to save up until the last episode, hopefully.

And oh boy next week is where this series ends... that's quite sad really.

They literally explained it this episode, they want to test emilia if she is worthy to become the witches vessel and if she is they let satella posses her, although if she isnt it also doesnt matter since the witch is going to be reborn soon anyway.

He got appreciation before though. Like when he had to handle the curse and the wolves.

His reward was Rem too, at that point.

So I guess the series is just going to be on auto-pilot for its remaining time given how these past few weeks have been nothing but bad animation, too many conflicts driven by circumstance rather than characterization, and all the tension-filled scenes are once again erased by Subaru's time-travel powers.

Disagree, disagree, disagree.

Take a look at Orange episode 8-10, THAT didn't look good and THEN it's an issue. Besides the priorities on art and animation in this anime is clearly not on the fights, but on emotional and impactful scenes, they know what actually gets you the most.


Re:Zero has been on the same quality as Orange for a while now.

Not really. It's you wishing it were the case. ... What's there to complain is stuff like this:

...the "from afar"s - where in this case, Wilhelm, Subaru and Julius might've not been drawn well... More even, Subaru kept talking while the frame kept still... Didn't appear good.

Rest is again, you wishing it was 'bad'.

Ah, I meant Subaru at the picture. It spoils the next episode a bit.
It's not really a spoiler for people who don't know what's going to happen. I'm looking at Subaru in the picture and I still don't really know what it's supposed to spoil. I see something different about his eye but there could be multiple possibilities for that. Maybe he gains a new power, maybe he's actually evil, maybe he's possessed by something again, maybe it's something else entirely...I have no idea.

I know .. i noticed that too .. I think they really rushed it to finish this series .. Most of the episode they skipped the opening and endings .. that means more stuff for animation .. its a lot more work for them .. but very disappointed as well.. since the fight with the whale the art and animation is bad.. if you compare the latest episode with the first episodes of re zero you will see what i mean .. the fight against elsa in episode 2-3 was so awesome compared to the latest episodes ..


I'm sorry but then you're not aware of the reality that is called production. Imagine it as one big machine with a loads of cogs. Throughout the production problems are bound to happens which pushes everything after it behind. This accumulates until eventually the quality suffers from it. As sad as it is this is a common thing in the industry. Studios work to minimize this process but it's always bound to be recognizable. The fact that this didn't occur until close to the end especially with the additional screening time is actually an achievement in itself. What you do here is being negative about something that is actually remarkable in the scope of the entire production.
They need to watch Canipa Show videos and be schooled about animation

That animation didn´t bother me that much, but... I am a bit worried about how they will fit all information to the last episode, you know fight + subaru find out about Rem etc. And ofc there are a lot of things missing in previous episodes. I hope they will not make any crazy cliffhanger end. Also I hope for second season of this anime, because the web novel translating is so slow and light novel one translating is super slow too, but well...
Let´s see what next week will show to us.

Emilia is a vessel like a lot of people assumed.

Decent episode. New check point. Subaru uses what he's learned to progress further.

Felt underwhelming when you compare it to last episode.

Quick question. I've noticed that many of the problems and mysteries in this show haven't been solved and I don't think it will be even possible to answer all of them in the next episode without the episode's quality suffering. So is ep 25 going to be the end of Re: Zero or does the story continue in the LNs, AND do you think they will release a 2nd season if it does?

I just love to see how people are so fast when it comes to criticize animation quality, while not knowing and not giving a single shit about how their favorite anime is done, what kind of problems it faces during its production, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, complaining and bitching about something they're not paying for or supporting anyway (I know that not everyone has the chance to do it, but just trying to watch it legally wouldn't hurt..).

Just think about the poor underpaid animators for a moment, before bitching on how the animation was shit (your opinion) jeez!

Not to mention today's episode animation wasn't even that bad (the characters were always faithful to their model sheet), apart from the choreography which could've been better.

If you really want to know what bad animation is, go watch Dragon Ball Super lel

Exactly, the overall quality is fine as it is, if the episode delivers the hype, that is the only thing that matters
