Re:Zero is back! With great animation/directing, strong character dynamics and intrigue, and Subaru Natsuki catching up on all the deaths and despair he missed in the one year time skip!

Not even five minutes into the episode and Regulus is already going on a rant! It didn't take him that long at all.

Well, I guess it's good that the Sin Archbishops don't all get along because the only thing keeping Emilia safe from Sirius is Regulus wanting her to be his new wife.

Poor Otto. Dude just out to get some sweets and ends up running into frikkin' LYE, the Archbishop of Gluttony, of all people. Guy can't catch a break.

Marvel at the amazing SubaruxBeatrice team! Complete with a great tag-team of magic and Subaru even landing a hit on Regulus with his Invisible Hand! I mean, it didn't do any damage, but still! And now Sirius thinks he's Petelgeuse.

So...I'm getting the sense Sirius' marriage to Petelgeuse was all in her head because she's so obsessed with him. Like, she was basically just his stalker who didn't pay her much mind and she took that to be him returning her affections. Though it also sounds like he "created" her? And now that Subaru has his Witch Factor, her affections have turned to him!

Regulus talks about "love" but he didn't even know Emilia's name (so...did Pandora literally tell them ANYTHING or did he just not care?) and only cares about her face. What a charmer.

This was all the Sin Archbishops' FREE TIME!? So NOW they're going to do what they actually came to Priestella to do? That also happens to include kidnapping Emilia to be "wed" to Regulus. Jeez.

If you were wondering how things were going with Garfiel being reunited with his mom...a pretty mixed bag! I mean, he's got half-siblings he never knew about, his mom has completely forgotten about him (but she still seems to recollect his taste in tea), and it's not even her fault...her quest to find his and Frederica's father ended with her in an accident that gave her amnesia, and she just happened to find a man who helped save her and is so devoted to her as her husband. What can Garfiel even say to that? Even if he wants so much to be with his mom again. But at least he's got Mimi and her pure love for him to get him through this.

Is that Aoi Yuki on the broadcast as the Sin Archbishop of Lust, Capella, calling people "meat sacks?" Okay, this'll be fun.

Well, good news is that Beatrice was able to put her all into healing everybody before Als and Felis showed up to finish it up and keep everybody alive, but the bad news is Beatrice is out of commission and badly in need of mana. Good job, Beako.

So the Witch's Cult is there to find Witch's remains? And they've taken over the town? The response team doesn't even know they're dealing with FOUR Archbishops yet.

Garfiel is a good son. He hears his half-siblings are missing, his moms' new husband is in danger, and he commits to saving them.

Yeah. The first episode felt like Detective Conan due to the set up. I'm surprised Kenjiro Tsuda 's characters tend to have similar traits like a wasted middle aged while Akira Ishida is voicing probábly his most toxic character ever
