Novel readers, take note that some content is cut from this episode that occurs in Volume 20. It’s likely that content will be in Season 4. Be very careful not to spoil things for Anime onlies!

And so ends season 3, and whilst there’s still a little bit of arc 5 left for the start of season 4, what a scene to end on.

I really liked the effect of the names being eaten where they shattered and then reversed that, was pretty cool. And wow, I did not expect Rui to look like that, not sure if I’m forgetting from the novels if she originally appeared different or not but either way we got her normal look after that.

Little sad that some scenes weren’t adapted, I hope they’ll be in season 4 but not sure if some will have the same impact like Subaru and Wilhelm’s conversation but will have to wait and see, I’m just glad that for once we finish a season and know that there will be another without having to wait 4 years!

Overall, season 3 was great. Mentioned it a few times in my comments but the animation is just a huge step up from season 2. My biggest issue with arc 5 overall is just the lack of deaths from Subaru, him figuring out how to get out of these situations is one of my favourite parts of Re:Zero so only having 3 at the start is a little dissapointing but that’s no fault of the anime, they did manage to keep the story exciting with the adaptation so can’t complain too much.

If I had to give a highlight it would just have to be Capella. Her VA did an amazing job and the animation for her was clearly given special treatment, it was so good to see.

Hopefully season 4 isn’t too far away and we’ll get to experience arc 6 aka peak Re:Zero ;)
