So it ended even without explaining why did Subaru transfered to that world (i've read some theories about it tho)..

But no problem, its still a good show.. I enjoyed every episodes of it and the ending was very good, eventhough i'm still feel a bit sorry for Rem :')

So sad to see this series come to an end. I hope they make a 2nd season. (Although apparently they forgot the last scene so there probably won't be one) Definitely gonna read the light novel now!

The adaptation and overall quality surpassed what we are used to see, since this anime is being based on LN which has 9 volumes all covered - except some interludes (Rem part everyone is making a fuss included). We won't see a second season for the next 2 years. Maybe they release and OVA but I also think that is very unlikely.....

Was a nice ride and probably the best anime of this season. I'm rating this show 9/10.

Salty people judging an anime based on how well it is adapted... you really need to rewatch your priorities. Same shit as Unlimited Blade Works, the episode discussions were a summary of what was cut from the novel. Happy to have not partecipated.


Not about what was cut, but where they decided to put an end to it.

My thoughts: It's sad knowing we'll have to wait a few years to see more Re:zero. How ever, I found the ending to be a little "weak". Good story and all, but it definitely didn't have much cliffhanger at the end like, say for example AOT where it's absolutely painful holding back the erge to read the manga. Definitely would have liked to have seen an ending that left me wanting more, rather than completely wrapping up the arc with nothing more to speculate about.
That being said, I'd rate the episode around a low 8/10, was decent but nothing more honestly. It was almost to predictable how it would end.
Lets hope there are a few OVA episodes planned for the coming months to help draw in more conversation.

The two OVA premises with the highest chance of getting done imho are
1) meido bikini episode or 2) Rem Afterstory side stories, I really hope it's #2

I definitely agree with what you proposed the ending to have been. I haven't read the LN so idk what happens past what's been shown on the Anime, but damn they could have given us something to be excited for :l what a let down.

Anyways, ya an OVA based on Rem and where the hell she went these past episodes would be nice. Honestly anything would be nice that forms some sort of speculative conversation, though I would like to know what's the deal with Rem

I'd love to read everyone's dissatisfied comments, but I had to get these few words in: There is such a thing as too happy an ending. Would've liked it better if they pulled our leg some more since they did it so well throughout the series. The roller coaster needs to jerk you around all the way to the end, not part way.

Still much mystery behind the witch unexplained. That one glimpse of the witch suggested that time travel may be at play, and I'm not talking about Subaru. Don't correct me if I'm wrong. My train of thought is usually way off the mark. You may; however, tell me if the source material actually uncovers the mystery behind Subaru's summoning to a parallel world.

The reincarnation trope would have been fine, but the author had to go and put a twist on summoned to a parallel world. I don't read much, but I'd imagine the twist is either the fact that he never once tries to return home or the fact the the summoner doesn't have a physical body. Maybe both; thus, probably no way to get back... Actually, reviving the witch might just do the trick. Actually, I've read both of these twists separately, so both being together was new for me.

I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger but an open ending. It would have been so much more impactful. The emotion would have been incredible.

And it goes with the theme of the show which is TRAGEDY.

I'm going to pretend that EP 15 credits scene is the ending of the show.
Seconded!! I agree with you 100%! The happy ending seemed out of place. I was looking forward to a 180, even to the very end.

I'm a Rem fan and I don't mind that they didn't show whatever happens to her at the end, The whole anime is a rollercoaster ride the ending doesn't have to be like that aswell. I'll start reading the manga and find out the missed stuff myself while hoping a 2nd season comes out.

For the people that are going nuts about something with Rem she had her grand moment in 21, Emilia gets hers in 25, The Hakugei was Rem's fight and Witch cult was Emilias for heroine moments, it detracts from the moment if you bring another heroine in, and let's face it Subaru clearly states Emilia is no. 1 regardless of what fans say, Honestly I think the end will be something like a three way relationship with Emilia being the legal wife and Rem being the mistress. Personally I like Rem better because she was the shining light of this arc that redeemed Subaru, but in the end like the title of the episode helping and saving Emilia has been what the story is about since Episode 1A.

Agreed, that's what made this show so amazing in the first place. A happy ending like this one just feels weird to me, mainly because there are still so many unresolved conflicts in the plot. Weak ending for an otherwise fairly strong show.

although all the witch stuff is left (sort of) unanswered, for an anime(in general) this series+ending was VERY VERY satisfying. most anime are 12 or 24 episodes then you have to read the manga to find out the rest (and then it might not be in engrish). i haven't watched an anime this fulfilling in a while so they get a 10/10 from me, i will be buying posters+figures(when they release).

And then the end, a few times I doubted that this story would have a happy ending, in fact, I was even getting a little excited with a tragic ending, or final where after save everyone, Subaru out on a quest alone to find the Witch and know more about that world, well, his personality would not let him get away from Emilia.

I enjoyed the anime, I was very excited and always look forward for the next episodes, the plot is certainly very good, animation and soundtrack were also great, certainly I assitirei this anime again and hope to see a second season ..

They're gonna need a season 2. Because there are still many things that are left unexplained.

I agree that the lack of Rem in the ending is quite disappointing. If it really was the end of the series, then I'd be pretty upset, but considering there's a strong plausibility for a Season 2, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I have zero information about any of the later story, so I may need to read-ahead to keep getting my Re:Zero fix.

However, I must say that I'm pretty disappointed with Emilia's portrayal at the end. They made her look like some helpless damsel that was saved, and the Knight in Shining Armor came to her rescue and they fall madly in love with each other.
It feels like a complete 180 of her stronger portrayal throughout the rest of the season.
I mean, I still get Subaru still being a gooey mess being in love with Emilia, but Emilia crying just because he says he loves her? Even though he's been freaking saying it the entire series. It's not like it's a surprise, Emilia.

The ending feels kind of rushed, for some reason. The Witches cult isn't really fully explained, and still leaves some questions. And I wouldn't believe that they were actually fully defeated just yet.

Really really hope for a season 2. Regardless of the nitpickiness of things, I love the show.

Way too many unanswered questions. The biggest and most key being why Subaru was chosen by the Witch in the first place and what her purpose was to the story. But as an anime ending this one was still very satisfying since it resolved the biggest story of the season nicely.

How were the ratings and manga sales for this over in Japan? Chances of it being renewed?

So... did anyone else feel like the betelgeuse carriage chase scene, when they break into the open field was Miyazaki inspired? (Princess mononoke 1st demon boar scene, spirited away / no face)

That was a nice bit of nostalgia that linked in the back of my mind and tied an unseen association to those films.

Anyway. Great episode. They were able to fit so much in without it feeling rushed.

Don't understand how Betelgeuse died so suddenly though during the chase, not that I don't have my guesses but some reasonable verification would have been nice.


Got crushed under the Dragon Carriage when his robes got caught and on top of all already already sustained damage he took from Subaru and Julius.. His also possession was greatly thanks to Julius damaging his spirit at sametime when struck him with Al Clarista.

Quite underwhelming last arc. The sudden focus shift to Emilia for this episode was a bit jarring. From what I saw of minor spoilers, there could have been an epic way to end regarding Rem. I'd have preferred that than some minutes of "I love you Emilia" "Is it ok for me to be loved, everyone hates me" and then "I still love you" etc. This show goes hard on that stuff. Would prefer if they made it a bit more subtle and sparse so it actually feels more meaningful.

The fight was better than last week but still I was bored of Betelguese guy.

The quality of this show was 10/10 for most of the 1st half and then it's run out of steam by the end. Not sure if that's just because of the source material or the way they adapted it. Overall 8/10.

Want 2nd season if it can match the quality of the first few arcs.

What "yet"? It will be no next ep. They just removed it to have happy end. Sadly it was really important scene so they would need to start 2nd season from this, add this on BD or start 2nd season from filler episode just to say what happened there - but that scene would never have such impact anymore.


By yet I meant that they can start the 2. season like this... If they don't continue the anime till the end of the story, then i dont even care... they have to

I swear I thought Subaru was going to wake up after saying all that heart wrenching stuff to Emilia, to find himself at the mercy of the witch, or just a gut wrenching reboot because he just died in the explosion. I'm cool with the happy ending because it is better for my nerves, but based on this whole season, I really thought a hard left was coming. But you never know what could happen at the beginning of a season two. There has got to be one, please, there are so many unanswered questions. Sigh.

Series had some flaws here and there for instance the animation was kinda lack luster in certain episodes and some episodes were honestly boring to me on the other hand it's been an enjoyable ride ,characters were well delevoped well..with the exception of Emilia I guess but I'm sure that next couple of arcs are gonna solve that problem for sure.I hope a season 2 comes out soon even though I know the cancer is gonna spread even further.

Overall it's a solid 8/10 for me.

Great show but the ending was weak. Because anime made Emilia a side character for last two thirds of anime, last scene was nowhere so impactful as similar one with Rem. Also almost nothing gets conclusion in the finale, except forced romance with character I almost forgot about.
Nothing against Subaru x Emilia, but build one romance and one character, then forget about that character and focus on building another romance and character (Rem) that happens to at the end be even more developed just to put her into friendzone and then come back to Emilia that is now just a supporting girl that needs to be saved. This isnt enough for a finale. I hope for S2 because left the show at this state isnt very good.

Okay so I binge watched this over the course of about a week and it was pretty good. Kinda glad I did it that way because I really don't want any part in these pissing contests. I'm especially glad I didn't have to associate with people like the guy who wrote the 3/10 review on the show's page. Like, can't you guys just type one sentence about the show without resorting to inflammatory remarks and meaningless buzzwords?

Anyway I'd give it in 8/10. Definitely not the best show I've seen this year but a close third behind New Game and Love Live.

Rem feelings towards Subaru was entirely one-sdied for several episodes with only hint in ep21 of him returning some of them. She was always in the friendzone before that point. They weren't developed more than his and Subaru had risked his life for Emilia just as much has Rem has for him. Subaru has also been in love with Emilia for majority of series. That's why he struck around the manor, why he fought so hard to get the village and help against the Witch Cult. If he didn't he would left everything including Rem behind a long ago. Using lack Emilia of screentime in the 2nd cour (ep 14+) is more of an excuse than anything. Not only because it was the first time have been separated, but it was only for 3 days. There no way his feelings Emilia would magically change like some on and off switch. Love as they say is a two-way street, Rem liking him doesn't entitle him to her and anymore than Subaru to Emilia. That's why he decided to make his feelings known to her and told to take her thinking about where she should go from there. It's impactful because it show much he's matured and how more understanding of her feelings.
