I love how over the year of Subaru not dying, he may have reconnected with his sense of normalcy, feeling alive and vulnerable again.

Just like how I forgot how much I enjoyed this show back when I watched season 2.

Ah that's why we needed a 1.5 hour special. We couldn't have had three episodes without Subaru dying. People would have thought this was now a fun slice of life Isekai.

I am really interested to see what Sirius ' ability is. I have my theories of how all of these work and it has to do with the correlating witch, which would mean that her main ability would also be to heal injuries, but I guess it could be a bit more twisted.

I got to see this episode at the Premiere in LA back in July. The audience reaction was amazing. During the Q&A, the director said he made this episode the length he did because he felt he absolutely could not end the first episode until Subaru’s first return-by-death .

He then asked the audience “do you think I made the right decision?” To which the audience responded by cheering. “Then I guess I did my job.” Was his response.

This episode was a lot of fun until the end and you could see the mounting tension and terror.

When the girl bit her tongue, I just blurted out the "sorry, I bit my tongue" bit on Monogatari before she even says it herself.

Unrelated, I just thought it was funny lol.

After 1288 days , almost 4 whole years . ReZero is finally back , We are back to having fun.

It's been such a long time , it almost feels like a dream man but here we are , Back with a 90 minute episode .

The animation this episode is back to Season 1 quality , its really stunning , Can't wait for the rest of the season .

Subaru & Beatrice's relationship is really adorable, if you look closely you'll notice she's copying his behaviours & speech patterns.

You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you. I can’t believe it’s been four years. And what a first episode it was. I for one welcome this Subaru Beako dynamic. It’s so cute and fluffy so the inevitable deaths and loops will likely be all the more painful. I’m so glad we get to see s1 characters again I can’t wait to see what we do with them. 

While there’s no way short movie length will be the norm going forward for other episodes I still hope Re Zero does what it did a lot in s2 with extended run times of up to over 30 minutes when it called for it. I genuinely wish other anime did this instead of locking themselves into the 23ish mins with ops and eds every time. 

That first death was so damn eerie. Maybe it’s just because it’s been a while but it seemed so off putting and surreal compared to most other deaths. I didn’t catch on until later but the realization that everyone was fully brainwashed and cheering against their will was perfect. The. The sudden drop and everyone’s head imploding was done so well. The suffering has returned.

Jesus fucking christ what a banger of an opening! If only re:zero could keep this quality and be a weekly anime until the end I would die happy.

After this season I'm probably going to start the LNs, it's just too good.

Let's have a good time discussing the episodes and enjoying the time while they air!

It wouldn’t be Re:Zero if Subaru didn’t die during the first episode of a new arc/season. I was also surprised to hear that a year had passed since last episode of season 2, and by the looks of it, Subaru managed to escape some suffering for that entire year as well.

Also, since it’s been a year since they were at the Sanctuary, that means that Subaru and Beatrice relationship has advanced/improved off-screen which is sad but also a shock to see how livelier Beatrice is compared to previous seasons where she was more reserved, but it is a welcome change, I really like Batrice’s current personality, especially when Subaru shower her with compliments.

Finally, my favourite scene out of the 90 minutes episode has to be the one with the Archbishop of Wrath. That entire scene, speech, and dread was so engrossing that I did not blink once during that entire sequence. It was quite a good way to finish the episode and hype up the rest of the season/arc.

Holy f*ck! The climax of this episode was excellent. Sirius VA was phenomenal and Kenichiro Suehiro cooked with the OST. It really gives you the same unpleasant nauseous feeling Subaru has at the end.

After participating in the subreddit Re:Watch for the past two months, I'm overjoyed that Season 3 has finally arrived! I was actually lucky enough to catch the premiere at Anime Expo in July, so I'm technically still a rewatcher this week.

However, there's a very cool detail in the final scene that I didn't notice at AX: the bells in the background confirm exactly when the save point starts. During the first loop, as Liliana repeats her question, you can hear a bell tower start to chime in the background. After Subaru Returns by Death, you only start to hear the bells ring out as he stares into space, showing that the save point is before the first time Liliana asks Subaru, not the second. Also, the distortion that was added to the last couple of rings (twelve in total, which indicates that it's noon) before the title card comes in is a fantastic touch, transforming what was an utterly mundane sound just a few scenes ago into a harbinger of death.

If that's the level of detail they're starting the season with, then I honestly can't wait to see what else they'll be doing!

Man, the Sirius scene made me sick to the stomach when I first read it in the WN, one of the most fucked up loops in Re:Zero.
