What are you smoking bro? stakes are higher? subaru is dodging shit like he's Neo, the completely powerless songstress walked down a collapsing building and survived the fall with water like she's in minecraft, and Reinhard *jumped back from the moon*. the stakes have never felt *lower*. nothing feels impactful. |

Season 4, even with the same adaptation treatment, should turn this around completely and bring back what season 3 lacked.

Every single Villain in Re:Zero is unique and distinct from one another. Each of the sin archbishops are great.
There are so many details in each episode. If you don't get them fine. Aside from that the "repetitive" stuff is so redundant when it comes to Re:Zero "criticism". Think of something better.
The only thing I definitely agree on is that this third Season is the weakest out of all three yet better than every new gen battle shounen.
Some call this arc a battle shounen arc that's why I mentioned it

I disagree about them being unique, distinct and great. they're only so in the design department. otherwise they're all the same insane rambling psychos who talk for way too long and say nothing of substance.
also, you've gotta refute the guy that something's repetitive, or conceid the point. criticism isn't invalidated because it's brought up often.
| @Oni_Zokuchou Exactly. They're all Petelgeuse with a fresh coat of paint, and Petelgeuse was only really interesting after we got his tragic backstory. Not to mention there's a bunch of them and they're all sharing screentime, while Petelgeuse was given enough space to really make an impact. |

| i usually hate ragebait posts but i cant disagree with what is said. i think this season fails as an adaptation of this part of the story. while arc 5 isnt the best arc in re zero, it just feels like its being widdled down to a goofy battle shounen, which doesnt work when the villains are as barebones as they are. arc 5 in the light novels didnt need great villains to be a great read, because ultimately that was never the point of this arc. the priestella arc was always about showing how far Subaru has progressed. and this doesnt work when he is effectively being treated like a sports commentator by the anime, with literally ALL of his important character development scenes are cut. re zero was never a comedy, it always meant something even in its goofiest of times, and this anime adaptation is missing that. and the sad part is that White Fox is cooking hard with the animation, its so much better to look at than season 2. its a shame its being let down by storyboarding that misses the point of the story so thoroughly TL;DR - too goofy, important character development is being cut, dissappointing adaptation |

Put in simple words, Re:Zero doesn't have it's dark factor in season 3. I missed when there were real stakes, cuz rn everything feels way too light hearted. I really thought Regulus was a force to be reckoned with, same with all the other Sim Archbishops, but this battle had way too many dialogues and not much action
Definitely not how fights went down in the first 2 seasons, cuz they felt grim
Definitely not how fights went down in the first 2 seasons, cuz they felt grim
| @CreepHazard Yea I feel the same. Re Zero is in my top 5 anime of all time, and I've rewatched it 3 times, both season 1 and 2. However this season it feels a bit off....it went from a Seinen anime to a Shounen anime where the archbishops development/screen time feels so blatantly rushed. Betelguese was an absolute menace, and was a genuine threat for a big portion of the runtime. Unless they do a gotcha moment, both Greed and Wrath just flopped over so easily. The 1st episode Wrath was genuinely scary, and had the same threat level of Sloth because off how her ability works. Then they just kinda glaze over it, and she gets defeated fairly easily. Re Zero is one of my favorites because of its ability to deconstruct the typical isekai protagonist. Having Subaru just be a normal guy with a small fraction of fighting capability was a breath of fresh air, as it allows for more possibilities to solve circumstances. That alongside with the dark psychological elements, world building, and extremely well done character writing and character interactions is what made Re Zero a 10/10 Aside from the great 1st episode, and the scene where Subaru talks on the speaker to the city, this season has definitely been a disappointment. Now I say this, with me rating it a 8/10, and that's still a really good score. However Re Zero is so much more than this, and has all of the foundations of staying at masterpiece level. Re Zero does not work with action as its focus, it always third or last in priorities. ( both because combat is just done way better by other authors, and the fact that Whitefox, while a very passionate studio, doesn't have the time or talent to make the action sequences be absolutely amazing ) I really hope, after this arc is done, we go back to the roots on what made Re Zero truly special and unique. |

| Subaru dies and doesn't lose his mind why ? I loved the first 2 seasons but 3 rd one feels like a normal Isekai. Where is the anime that depresses us lol. That long talk was stupid and I wasn't feeling that not being able to do anything the feeling of being worthless that's why it was special I hope last 6 episodes are going to be better. |

gonna take your word for this. I'm dying to watch some blood
| @CreepHazard It's not really about blood... But anyway... Just to mellow out expectations a bit, the next arc isn't necessarily the most gory, or even all-round dark. It does have dark moments and all, but the main difference is that the threats are taken seriously. It's not a light hearted arc like we're having with season 3. But still, I'm even expecting a good share of drama. There's an event in particular and a few comic-relief moments in the first half that I'm sure a handful of people will find ways to hate. And White Fox will probably find a way to cut a really cool scene that gives lots of insight and insert a random extended one that is barely canon to replace it. There's also the fact that from now on, all Re:Zero arcs will have their fair share of action. We won't have another arc like that of season 2. |

| @QcDiablo Well that's for certain. I appreciate Subaru's development and I believe he doesn't need to keep dying and go mentally insane for the show to be good. But it's definitely not gonna be good if they don't show us the part of him that he fixed. They can't just not take themselves seriously after doing so for 2 whole seasons, where each arc had its troubles and glory moments when they were overcome. I'm kind of sure we won't get a well rounded antagonist like Betelgeuse again cuz of there being increasingly more characters, however I'm just gonna put my trust in Teppei and hope that whatever he pulled with Arc 4, and is pulling rn with the ongoing stuff, is worthwhile. At least more so than whatever season 3 is doing. |

| Seems like this season is very divisive and for good reason. They took away key factors which made this show great in my opinion, like the mystery, anxiety, thrill. It now feels like any other stuff with battles and power of friendship, with extra Subaru, anime specific bullshit. Now, if you like this, that's fine, but disregarding any other opinion as "rage bait" is just pathetic. |

Next arc will have a main party of about 8 characters we know and will only add 3-4 new characters. |

| Damned if you suffer, damned if you don't. I think this season does an amazing freaking job of showing how far Subaru has come as a character, kind of needed IMO when the previous season was pure character development. Development is awesome but showcasing all of that growth is even better. That being said, they kind of did my boi Regulus dirty skipping his backstory which makes understanding him beyond the surface level kind of hard. It's still possible but it requires one to think and holy hell is this generation of anime viewers cooked in that regard. Btw, I think this season could be a better watch when you're binge-watching the whole anime. Might have to try that sometime after they finish adapting Arc 6. |

| I want to agree with you somewhat. I feel like Re:Zero is not really the same Re:Zero I once knew back in Season 1 and 2 because of how gritty and unpredictable they are. I mean like no offense, it kinda feels like a stereotypical Disney animated film plot where it feels predictable and kind of stale. I'm not sure if this is just Subaru already learning from his mistakes; although, they don't really feel convincing because the plot devices feel more evident than logic (defeating Regulus easily but not Sirius?). Sure, Subaru would've applied what the Witch's taught Subaru, especially his "greedy" mindset of saving a lot of people. But it's more of a theoretical thing since not everything the Witch's say can be applied (imo), and Subaru would still save others because it's more of a duty thing. I feel like Re:Zero uses more plot devices to progress the story more than using a logical progression like certain conditions and factors (Subaru's strength vs Regulus) and so on. I'd just want to say that the catharsis in Season 3 compared to the first 2 seasons is just not as great. |

stevejawbs said: @Hawkeye752 Good on you for providing valid and tangible criticism. MAL seems to be a place that's unfortunately lacking in subtlety. Agreed on the villains/antagonists. Petelgeuse in season 1 was terrifying but intriguing, and he had enough space to himself to really feel like a huge threat. Echidna/Roswaal were of course more antagonists than straight up villains, but they were both so engaging and well-written in both their ambition and goals. Regulus is the only one we've really seen outside of this season (other than Gluttony in a single scene in season 2), but even his scenes were all just "I'm bad and an asshole". His buildup this season was just more of the same, he's even more of an asshole than we thought, and now he's dead. The other archbishops are far worse off, even less interesting and 1-dimensional. Agreed with everything else too. When he used unseen hands I was caught off-guard, I almost forgot he had these powers. Where tf were they when he was literally dying in the first couple episodes? Or when he was fighting and dying against Lust? I have no problems with OP characters, but they need to be handled with care. The way they handled Reinhard during the first archbishop attack was so, so lame, with Heinkel holding Felt hostage so Reinhard couldn't join the fight. He's impossibly OP, moving at insane speeds, but he can't outrun Heinkel...? Also, they really just wrote out Betty after she was way too strong in Season 2. tbh, Regulus' death was so anti-climactic. He's one of the strongest in the Archbishops, but he was so hesitant. The fact that Pandora was telling him to relax, then he'd go 10x worse than Tuco Salamanca. But he was humiliated by a human and half-elf like multiple times and undergoing unnecessary road runner sketches from Looney toons (eg. when he hit the bridge, which was kind of stupid.) in which after that? He still yaps. Even my own freeloading groupmates had more impact than Regulus. |

| @DoctorWasabi WhiteFox asked for help in season 2. Ufotable helped in Garfiel x Elsa battle, and in the episode "Choose Me". They could've done the same... Especially since they have more budget to make a better art. Arc 6 will also suffer from this, because they decided to animate arc 5 & 6 at the same time, both were to be included as the third season, with 38 episodes in total. But due to production issues, it was postponed and arc 6 will officially be called Season 4. |

I agree, this arc is the worst one of Re:zero because it has 0 stakes and its just boring. It was the same in the novel. Constant jumping between fights was soo annoying. And the author didnt even utilize the main appeal of the series, return by death. Subaru realized what Greed's power was out of his ass instead of dying on repeat and slowly figuring it out. Not to mention they skipped a lot in the anime version so it's even worse than the books. I can't wait for the next arc (the tower), its peak re:zero content IMO and I hope they dont fk it up
| @IdleSolution It's one of my favorites arcs, I really liked the Reinhard vs Regulus fight and how the novels described Regulus as a threat, + Subaru doing cool dodges while carrying Emília. But the whole fight just became a clown fest in the anime, and I agree with you when you say it's worse than the novel. The peak re zero arc 6 will also be bland. I honestly don't know why Whitefox decided to animate both arcs at the same with low budget... |

| @And4rilho This I have to agree with. Even though I didnt really like this arc, it was still so much better in the novel than this adaptation. Exactly as you said, Regulus felt like this big menacing threat and his fight against Reinhard was really fun. Subaru running from Regulus and dodging him was also a very big part of the fight but in anime it was just glanced over. They took everything that was good about the fight away and we are left with a clown fiesta that felt more like a comedy, its disappointing |

| The main problem with S3, in my mind, is similar to that of S2P2 - that everything just seems to go too perfectly in the final loop of an arc. It'd be fine if Subaru spent more loops figuring things out beforehand, slowly piecing together the mysteries, but in this season in particular, things just seem way too convenient. Villains who should be a threat, like Regulus, suddenly become useless and completely unable to harm Subaru in any meaningful way, and Wrath was similarly easily dispatched. There's no 'semi-successful' loops, where some progress is made or some insight gleaned into a villain's weakness - they're either utter failures for Subaru where he dies horribly, or complete successes where the plot bends to go his way. Of course, it doesn't help that the villains this season are rather uninteresting too. "I'm craaaaaaaaazy" can only go so far, even with a few quirks added in to distinguish them from Petelgeuse. |

| This season has some good chapters (the first one, Subaru dying versus Wrath, Subaru giving his speech, and chapter 12 vs Greed was pretty good), but a lot of the other chapters feel.... slow. I guess it is mostly due the big quantity of characters sharing screen time making it hard for the story to progress, and the character focus is all over the place. We had an episode where they spent all the day inside their building talking strategy and the current situation and the plot didn't advance at all. I like the songstress character but it feels weird to have a full backstory episode about her (it was a nice backstory, don't get me wrong), when there are characters that seem more connected to the plot like Priscilla or Al. That ended making an episode that was just a backstory+flashy fight (the animation was pretty good, but having strong characters that just need to exchange blows until the Wrath Authority gets countered and win without any further strategy isn't my cup of tea, but I understand if people like it). They are making a good job telling the story of Reinhart family during the plot, and Garfield trying to get closure while it takes screentime it doesn't feel very forced since it is part of the protagonist main team. The thing I don't get the most is why we had just one Return by Death chapter versus Wrath so far, I can imagine a scenario of Lust tricking Subaru transforming into another person and killing him, or Greed killing him after he discovers his secret and is able to fight him while sending Reinhart to another place. I don't know, that power is the premise of the show and feels off barely remembering it exists this season. But yeah I'm going to watch episode 13 in a few minutes so it is going to be super funny when I watch it and it happens to be a 10/10 peak episode that changes my entire opinion about the season haha TL;DR: Not a bad season, kinda slow paced |

| With every passing episode of this season, this opinion becomes even more wrong, Re Zero is not just showing that it's peak with it's storytelling and characters but it's fight scenes are just as peak. |

They thought Emilia's bouncing tits and aiming for Regulus' balls would make the fight good lmao
This season is steaming garbage, Regulus only fighting when Reinhard is present and then yapping nonstop despite weakling with a whip exposing his powers.
And then "haha, you could have defeated me, but you launched me straight at moon which allows me to come back"
Im done with this series unless Echidna comes back and pees directly into my mouth

| @BigPaws Echidna will be back. She's a rather omnipresent antagonist in every arc, directly or indirectly |

My opinion so far
S1 : 10/10 (best isekai season I've ever watched)
S2 : 9/10
S3 : 8/10
I hope it won't get worse and worse.

| @kookool17 Sadly this is true, even S2 felt like a downgrade or detour or derail. |

I genuinely forgot how stupid MAL users are until this thread appeared. Zero comprehension and the cheap “oh you’re just a fanboy.”
People here complaining about regulus talking a lot and dying in an anticlimactic way as if that isn’t the point of his existence (congrats on missing that btw)
“Why doesn’t Subaru use IP more” it drains him and has a short range. This is explained. Did you guys watch with your eyes closed?
Yes this is a more action heavy season that leans away from RZ’s typical stuff but people in this community can’t do anything but complain. When s2 was airing every week “this season sucks, too slow, hate it and cringe dialogue.” Now it’s faster paced and progressing the story a lot and it’s also bad
And no it’s not undeniably the worst. That’s your opinion.
Seeing people in this thread not recognize this arc as a showcase of Subaru and Emilia’s growth and bringing all the pieces together while also blatantly ignoring the point of the archbishops is funny. Please stop saying stuff if you have no idea what you’re on about

| @WHoAreYou1 WHoAreYou1 said: Zero comprehension and the cheap “oh you’re just a fanboy.” Link me to a single comment where valid discussion was dismissed by calling someone a fanboy. If anything, there's plenty of comments dismissing valid criticism as "baiting", like here. WHoAreYou1 said: People here complaining about regulus talking a lot and dying in an anticlimactic way as if that isn’t the point of his existence (congrats on missing that btw) Just because it's the point of the character doesn't mean it's enjoyable. These are not the same thing at all. WHoAreYou1 said: “Why doesn’t Subaru use IP more” it drains him and has a short range. Okay, but what about when he was literally right next to Lust and was about to die? You don't think that would've been a good time to use whatever abilities he had, even if it drains him?

Like, you do understand that it's possible to both understand the story and not like it, or not like the execution of the adaptation to another medium, right? For someone who writes so confidently, you're actually kinda really dumb! I'm still looking forward to see what rebuttals you can come up with. |

This is undeniably the worst bait of the season. Hope it made you happy.
| @FutoiOtaku Not bait, I’m just not enjoying it as much as I did before. Also, I never said the show is now bad. Still is above a 7\10, just doesn’t compare to the other seasons. |

It is the best season so far. Animation gotten a upgrade while stakes are higher than ever since most of the whole cast of both villains and heroes are here fighting each other. What are you smoking bro?
| @Mdraj6996 animation got an upgrade. Stakes being high, I don’t necessarily agree. The season isn’t bad, I’ll reiterate that. |
