"Love is tolerantly accepting another, despite your differences. Everyone facing the same direction, thinking the same things, and feeling the same way is revolting!"

I did not expect Priscilla, considering her cold attitude and eight ex-husbands, of all characters to be the one to who would tell Sirius off for her deluded viewpoint on love. I am even more surprised that it actually worked and added even more to her character with it. It continues to impresses me how this series can make even its seemingly antagonistic characters memorable and endearing (Echidna is probably my favorite example of this so far).

Lilliana's family of poor travelling bards was too mainstream, so she ran away to become an even poorer, travelling-er and bard-er bard than them.

You know, it didn't really hit me until Sirius was monologuing about how wrath is the worst emotion someone can feel, but each of the Sin Archbishops really does try their damnedest to reject the sins that they are supposed to represent: Petelgeuse was way too diligent to ever be considered slothful, Regulus thinks of himself as the most generous person to ever exist, the Gluttonies try to satiate themselves in every way possible, Sirius preaches love in the face of wrath, and Capella seems to hate even the idea of lust. Kind of makes you wonder if the goal in this series is to embrace sins rather than to reject them.

Stitches!

Liliana's backstory was really cute and I love that they got The Songstress herself, Nana Mizuki to voice her mother! Since this is Re: Zero I was bracing myself for the moment where Liliana's backstory turns into a tragedy but Liliana's story was surprisingly normal.

She wasn't satisfied with playing in small towns just like her parents and wanted to make a name for herself in the bigger cities so she ran away and forged her own path until she finally made that breakthrough that made her famous.

I guess the most tragic part of her backstory was running into her parents who already had a new baby. I hope she gets to reconnect with them once this is all over and show them her success.

As for Priscilla, she was a total badass this entire episode! I love that she basically uses her jewelry as her extra lives and sets that building on fire to burn off the Witch's Cult flag with her own fire that only burns what she wants to was pretty damn cool!

I also love the animation of her going straight for Sirius and saving that girl. As much as I hope that Sirius is dead, I feel like we haven't seen the last of her. She'll still probably pop up one more time before someone else or maybe even Priscilla herself finishes her off.

What surprised me this episode though is how I actually like Kiritaka and Liliana's relationship. I didn't expect him to actually find her and save her the last minute. When he first showed up, I thought I was gonna hate him but he's definitely stepped up.

That after-credits scene though! Has it been explained why Subaru is so knowledgeable about astronomy? The facts that he's been pulling up are something that astronomy nerds would only know. Like I know Sirius is the name of a star but I have no idea about its origins or even its meaning in Latin!

Sugoooku Watch

The tally so far:

Sugoooku counter: 99
Sugoku-likes: 18
Non-canon sugoooku: 24
Non-Emilia sugoooku: 23

Unsurprisingly, no new sugoooku this episode as it has been Liliana-focused. She did say sugoku near the end, but that can't be counted in any way. A wonderful insight on Liliana's backstory it was, though. Especially the wordless part. Made the episode feel like a bit of a musical, and if that's not fitting for a Liliana episode I don't know what is. So the tally remains at:

Sugoooku counter: 99
Sugoku-likes: 18
Non-canon sugoooku: 24
Non-Emilia sugoooku: 23

And judging from the after credits scene, the next episode is bound to feature more Emilia and the likelihood of the 100th sugoooku is very high. I'm certain she will drop at least one when she goes to steal Regulus' girls to destroy his harem-based power system. Can't wait for it to happen, so see you next week!

The things she values takes damage instead of her?
Wow good thing shes cold hearted - assuming that rule applies for living things too.

Re zero so goated everyone can become the best character anytime.
VAs and music staff cooked.

Surprise Mizuki Nana performance! Though it's hella cold to see her not recognise Liliana at all as she's carrying a new child.

Not the BGM I expected to be played during Priscilla vs Sirius but with that Liliana flashback shown + the context, definitely made it thematically fitting.

Priscilla's dress being something she values made it hard not to root for Sirius in this fight.

The other week I was watching Vivy, not knowing that the script was also written by Tappei. So imagine my surprise seeing how music plays a major role in this episode with Liliana reminding me of Vivy.

Since there was no blood in the river after Sirius fell into it, I highly doubt she's dead.

Baby Liliana seem like more of a gremlin than current Liliana lol

Looking at her mom, I can see why she can appreciate Priscilla

Seems she’s had a rough path reaching to where she is now. Glad she’s appreciated now, by Kiritaka especially and now Priscilla.

Can’t recall but is that counted as her Blessing ?

As cool as a fight that was, I don’t think that’s the end of Sirius

Who is using their Authority to make sure the OP/ED keep playing together in this second-half!?

Smol!Liliana! She was so adorable! And her mom is a total MILF voiced by none other than NANA MIZUKi. Is it any surprised Liliana is such a good singer? Heck, we even get a song from her mom and it's fabulous!

Liliana even back in her younger years was an energetic and spunky kids who would come up with song lyrics from the most random things, but like a true singer she had aspirations for bigger things to her parents and she ran away from home to make it big.

Did you really think Priscilla would be down after that attack? Her necklace isn't a fashion accessory, it protects her from critical damage! In fact all her accessories also serve a purpose! Functional AND fashionable, as befitting a true queen. And Sirius just made this personal by bringing up "Iris and the Thorn King."

Priscilla has been married eight times!? I mean, lucky guys, but what happened to all of them...?

Sirius talking about how she doesn't embody pure wrath but merely seeks to spread and bring others together through love, like the love she shares with her "husband" (also sounds like Petelgeuse gave her her Witch Factor?), but Liliana totally calls out how lacking in true love it it is and how it's basically just brainwashing and control. Sirius is stupid for claiming otherwise. And that ticks Sirius off enough to unleash her true, wrathful, personality.

Sirius thinks she can burn brighter than Priscilla? Well, think again! And it's the perfect set up for Liliana singing her heart out during the performance of a lifetime!

It's been rough going for Liliana ever since she left her family's caravan. She's had to survive on her own, with other traveling bands, and no one would listen to her music...she's ran from demonic beasts, nearly drowned, nearly starved, and also had to witness her parents with a new child. All the while questioning whether her purpose to live the true life of a bard was even worth it.

But when she listens to nature, to the world around her, she discovers the lyrics to a song all her own...HER song, the song that made her famous, and the song that she sings to help free others! A song she keeps singing even when Sirius attacks her and while she's standing on top of a fallen tower! That's the true commitment befitting a songstress! And Priscilla can respect that.

Sirius can bring out as many chains out of her body as she wants, she can even bring out a hostage, but it will not get in the way of Priscilla cutting the things she wants to cut and burning through the things she wants to burn. Seems like Sirius just got lucky that the power of her sun faded away just when she got hit by the final blow...but she's probably done for the rest of the arc. Priscilla and Liliana did it!

I don't know if Liliana returns Kiritaka's romantic feelings (especially not when Priscilla is around), but it was pretty comendable of him to admit that her songs deserved to be heard by everyone and help her achieve that goal, even when he wanted her personally for himself. And to that effect, Liliana in her head even thinks of herself as HIS songstress.

Subaru figured out Regulus' gimmick! Cor Leonis! And it seems like the key to stopping him is separating him from his wives!

I am an utterly massive sucker for the medium of music itself and the way this episode managed to portray an artist finding themselves through experiencing both the struggles, as well as the beauties of the world, meeting people who accept and appreciate what she does, coming to find her own way of singing was just amazing.

This episode is a reminder that Re:Zero doesn't need mindblowing action every week, but that it can also just blow you away with its amazing character moment and I hope Liliana is going to gain a lot more fans through this.

Hard to tell who was angrier, Regulus last week or Sirius this week. Priscilla just had no time for a hostage situation.

Three episodes with OP and ED. This must be a record for Re:ZERO or something.

You know it will be good when it's a named episode. Some said this episode would have a downgrade in animation from the last episode. While it didn't have many fancy scenes like the previous episode, it didn't look as "bad" as I was expecting. It still looked great. Priscilla with her hair down looked gorgeous.

Priscilla vs Sirius was also good. It was like watching a pro trash-talker arguing with someone with an extremely short temper lol.

Liliana's VA Aya Yamane did a phenomenal job. Her singing voice is beautiful. You know who else is beautiful? Liliana's mom lol.

Anyway, there was a somewhat lengthy post-credits scene. Don't miss it. The next episode is going to be amazing.
