| I guess it's confirmed that Otto is best girl heroine lol Every time Roswaal starts singsonging I can't help but laugh my ass off lmao Wonder what plan they came up with to deal with Elsa and the Great Rabbits. Maybe lure the rabbits to the mansion after getting everyone out of there so they would eat up Elsa? |
| Watching the OP for the first time in 6 episodes feels really weird lmao. Emilia kept her promise to Fortuna, what a great daughter. Geuse killed Fortuna thinking she was Pandora, I felt really sad when that happened. Emilia's reaction made me even sadder. |
 |
| Oh they finally played the opening, it's really good. Lots of feels this episode. I thought everyone froze because Emilia opened the seal but no, it was actually by her own power which is super crazy. Never get on the bad side of her, she was terrifying in murderous loli mode. lol press F for Fortuna and Geuse, they didn't deserve that fate.... |

| Amazing emotional episode. A lot was cleared up, also new OP. Loved it. |
| Emilia really had a cursed childhood. She took the knowledge quite well though, So much for the vaunted OP. It wasn't bad, just musically bang average and could be exchanged for any OP out there without any problem. What happened to music in anime? It was once on the level of anything coming out of Hollywood. The OP animation was ok though but boy does it spoil a lot. |

Rahin said: Two reasons, I think.EMILIA IS OP ASF Why smol version is superior in terms of power and abilities? First, Pandora changed Emilia's memories so she did not know she had that kind of power. Second, hmm... this might be a spoiler as I don't remember it being properly explained in the anime. |

swordmaster2551 said: Leo said: Finally, after all this time we got to hear the OP. A 10/10 OP. Emilia went through a lot as a child. So she was the one that froze the whole forest and its people. Will they be alright after all this time being frozen? The Witch of Vanity, Pandora, is too overpowered. RIP Mother Fortuna. And I really feel sorry Geuse. I still can't believe he was a normal guy back in the days. Her power is so weird, I thought we might get a better understanding of it but nope. Also feels slightly inconsistent, she rewrites regulus guiding her so geuses arm never gets destroyed but she still remains there. She rewrites her death but her blood is still there underneath the icicle? So she duplicated her blood, if she's O-, there will never be a blood shortage! Inconsistent? Remember that she put Regulus away, the arm was back as were the surroundings but she said she kept the part when Betelgius took the witch factor. So there is no inconsistency there, you just missed it. |

| After six episode we finally got the opening! That was the biggest plot twist of the episode without any doubt. Well, that explains why Petelgeuse got insane. Fortuna's death was sad without any doubt (she was such a fine woman), but Geuse's breakdown was both pitiful and hilarious (I mean, it's Petelgeuse we are talking about). Well, Emilia finally surpassed her past (explaining her situation during the second OVA of the series, the one where she met Puck), but seems she still has some stuff to do before returning. I see Subaru is about to put another big brain move against Roswaal. |
 |
| Damn what an episode , why does Re:zero make me cry every darn episode :(. So sad knowing how Petelgeuse went insane , also I wonder what did Pandora say to Geuse at the end :o? So next episode we going to mansion , how will Subaru deal with killer sisters ? Stay tunned to find out! |

| Ok I need to ask what's on my mind because it's very confusing lol Why does Pandora want to open the seal so much? Is this a Pandora's box reference of some sorts? Why's Otto an important piece? Why is it a good thing that he isn't in Roswaal's book? All in all a nice episode. I think I enjoyed Emilia's past a little too much because I didn't want it to end and return to the present time. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| So, from this eps, I wonder why still there are someone adore & like Pandora after what she done on Geuse & Fortuna.. Gabi not evil as like her I think.. |
| It was an OK episode. The witch is a really interesting character I’ve got to say. Love her personality Anyway, I really can’t stand this arc anymore. The plot is quite interesting but I liked better the first three arcs because they were shorter and this one feels way too long. Way wayyy too long The OP is a mess tho. Hate it. Both the song and the visuals |
| I kind of like Pandora as a character lol. She isn't inherently evil or something. I like how she lacks emotions but loves, or maybe even envies all the emotions of others. She isn't sadistic and her immortality and invulnerability is probably the cause of her emotionlessness. I felt it how she wasn't trolling with Emilia's "mom, she really wanted to be understood lol (while getting killed by her over and over again). By far, I'm more interested in her than any other witches. |
nanimeanswhat said: LN readers would like to know it too xDWhy does Pandora want to open the seal so much? Is this a Pandora's box reference of some sorts? nanimeanswhat said: Because Roswaal don't know what Otto will do and how his actions will change what is written in the Tome of Wisdom. Why's Otto an important piece? Why is it a good thing that he isn't in Roswaal's book?. Or in other words: the Tome describes action and events related to people the Tome knows about; since it knows nothing about Otto, it can't describe Otto's actions and events related to him. In the next post @Gilgameshuu explained it better. |

I think I enjoyed Emilia's past a little too much because I didn't want it to end and return to the present time. 1. We don't know why so far. 2. Otto is literally the reason why Subaru had an advantage over Roswaal, someone who earnestly follows the tome of wisdom, Otto is like an inconsistency to him and a problem to his goals. He is the one factor why his plan is starting to fail, ever wonder how Subaru seems to be able to fix a seemingly impossible setup of events introduced in Part 1 with ease now? That's because of Otto, even a small factor or inconsistency can ruin Roswaal's plans and give a huge advantage to Subaru, I mean we saw him completely despairing over everything that has been happening and Otto was the one that beat some sense into him, so actually none of these would've been possible without him. |

| So all the people who were complaining about the OP - here you go. I am still glad they created an extra content instead of the ED. Lets see if they keep the OP in the next episode, fingers crossed they dont, as far as I am concerned. This is now AotS for me. MAL should consider giving each user a single AotS slot to pick a show each season and give it 11/10 so its stands above the rest of masterpieces :) But then again, MAL users will just use that to wage bot wars, so screw that idea :D |
| The new OP = gas At last, all of this drama going down with Pandora finally pieces together and gives the backstory for the Frozen Bond movie. |
| Every week I'm tearing up to the show. Wonderful Episode! New op is okay. I liked the first one better. What an emotional ride this was. I'm happy that Emilia kept her promise like a good girl and didn't give in to Pandora, but holy fuck is she terrifying. Her powers are insane and tricking Geuse was cruel. Poor Fortuna. In the end she was Emilia's mother through and through. Till the very end she loved and wanted to protect Emilia by any means. Even more heart breaking knowing the three of them could have been a happy family one day. It was somewhat nice of Pandora to make her forget. I was not ready for Emilia to start rampaging like that. Took me by surprise to say the least. As a child she was killing Pandora is crazy ways. The first time with the frost flake was bad ass. Maybe it was reveled in the OVA, but Emilia was the one who turn the forest into ice. Knowing all the full story of her past now. Emilia had it bad, but every character in this mf series has it bad lol. Echidna just be hating for no reason, but its not bad lol. It feels like she hates Emilia, but doesn't fully dislike her. And Emilia just like, "Cool story bro.". I loved her response to Echidna was "I don't hate you as much as you hate me" lmao. So not 3 trails, but 4 uh? I guessing we are about to get a down period next episode before things ramp up again. This whole arc has made me love Emilia. This was the character development I wanted for her. Now all we need is for Ram to get some love and we will be set. 10/5 will watch again lol. |
 |
| At long last, this whole situation with Pandora has finally pieced together the backstory for Emilia and the Frozen Bond movie. The new OP is gas as well btw. |
| Happy to see I'm not the only one who feels like they got spoiled in the OP lol. As a person who knows noting and only watches the anime. I feel like I know a lot of what's about to happen lol. |
|
| I swear, watching this weekly is not doing me any good, truly a masterpiece. |
Antearion said: There is a reason for that. I don't remember if it was already in the LN (and anime skipped it) or if it will be later.Echidna just be hating for no reason, but its not bad lol. If you're really curious, here is an answer. @foxyahoo later stated that it was already in the LN, so it should be fine to read it (I'm leaving the spoiler tag since I'm certain not everyone would like to read it :-P) |

So there is no inconsistency there, you just missed it. OK dude, that doesn't change that she rewrote her death and copied her blood with it being both in her body and on the ground. He would have still used the WF if it was just Pandora though. You did not get my point. This what you are saying (she copied the blood) is the same as her letting Betelgiuse use the witch factor. What you can infer from that is that she can selectively leave some parts there if she wishes to. Both scenes work the same according to the same rules so there is no inconsistency. Also we still do not exactly know what her power really does. But what she did with her body is entirely consistent with what she did with Regulus and the witch factor; she rewrote her death? The blood should be gone, but chose it to remain. She rewrote Regulus, therefore Betelgius should not have witch factor in him, but does (and she states it that she chose it). So? Do understand the scene better now? |

| Now we know what happened to Geuse. Poor guy. |
 |
| Halfway through the season and finally we get to see the OP. I'm prepared to not see it anymore for the rest of the season lol. Anyway, good episode finishing up the rest of Emilia's painful backstory. Also, Otto seems to have more significance than expected. Looking forward to seeing the 2nd half of this cour and what it will offer after getting through all this trial stuff. |

Are those next arcs happening in one place too or will they me more "all over the place" (in a good sense)? The guy you answered might like season 3 more if that is the case. I heard it is more action packed. I did not read arc 5 or six 6 so I will ask to avoid spoilers. |

| Finally, half way through the season and we got the OP. I guess it was worth the wait, I enjoyed listening to it. Was anyone else confused on what Roswaal and Subaru were talking about? Maybe I didn't follow everything. |
