Y’all, I’m going to level with you. This one’s a bit by the seat of my pants. Usually I take extensive notes for each episode, but I was so entranced by this one that I didn’t want to miss a single moment. Let’s just jump in, shall we? Satella is the final guest of the... Continue Reading →
Okay, maybe quoting Macbeth in the title is a bit cheesy, but I thought it fit. This episode is one of the darkest in Re:Zero yet, as Subaru returns to the trial and learns the ultimate consequences of Return By Death. We finally meet the last of the Sin Witches, and Echidna reveals her sinister... Continue Reading →
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 →

Arc 4 has officially kicked into high gear! Last time, Subaru and Otto... 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. Subaru and Ram return to Roswaal manor, Frederica shows her true form, and the Bowel Hunter Elsa returns to, well, hunt some bowels. I'm starting to think I'm a little... Continue Reading →
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 →
