SPOILERS *Sigh* We're never going to see that intro again, are we? Opening with a heartbreaking shot of Rem still unconscious, we then cut back to Subaru’s second time confronting Betty in the library. She still has the Gospel, as before, but this time we learn the pages are blank. It stopped showing Betty’s future... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS Villains aren't hard to come by, but there's a few special ones that can transform the entire atmosphere of a show whenever they're on screen. Darth Vader is one. Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII is another. And though it's too early to compare her to those guys yet, I think that Satella, the Witch... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS This is the episode I was waiting for. Of all the spectacular moments of Arc 4, my favorite reading the novels was getting to see all the Witches of Sin. Tonight we were introduced to Typhon, Minerva, and Daphne, the Witches of Pride, Wrath, and Gluttony, respectively. And the Big Bad of the whole... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS Sorry this post is a couple days late! I just started a new job and it's been kicking my ass lately, so I haven't been able to give Re:Zero my full undivided attention until today. But even still, I couldn't wait to see Subaru's confrontation with Beatrice that was teased in the last episode.... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS After five straight episodes of foreshadowing, intrigue, and all the feels, we're finally back to classic Re:Zero action with this banger of an episode.

SPOILERS After last week's tear-jerker episode where Subaru finally made peace with his past, we're back to the normal Re:Zero mysteries and madness. While this episode wasn't as emotionally gripping as the last one, it's still packed to the gills with new twists and reveals. And it ends with the return of an old villain... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS Re:Zero is A Lot of Things. It's set up as a pulpy isekai fantasy romp, but it's also got horror, mystery, action, drama, comedy... and as Subaru finally comes face to face with his past, Re:Zero takes another direction entirely. This episode was a saccharine slice-of-life drama, complete with soft tones, Sakura petals, and... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS Where we last left off in Re:Zero, Subaru was mysteriously transported into a Windows XP desktop world (Sorry, I had to!) with Echidna the Witch of Greed casually sipping tea right in front of him! It was an epic cliffhanger, but this episode ended with an even bigger one - so let's not waste... Continue Reading →
SPOILERS for S2, no LN spoilers for anime only watchers Now that we're all caught up on the madness that is Re:Zero, it's time to begin the story proper.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF RE:ZERO! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE! There will be comparisons to the light novel but I won't spoil anything that hasn't happened yet in the anime. I don't normally do episode reviews. I prefer to watch a whole series before I give my thoughts... Continue Reading →
