It finally begins \o/ Everyone that complained about the past two episodes will get shocked now.

This episode was filled with payoff for earlier plot threads and the core thematic ideas of the series. But what I'd really like to talk about is this sick afro:
Is that some prime 70s fashion or what?

Karma is a bitch. Especially when your name is Subaru.

Want to like it but it kicks into bad Eurobeat mode pretty quickly.

I'm not sure what you mean by "good guys". Every animation studio is prone to rush jobs.
Also, Orange is being animated by Telecom Animation Film, which is a subsidiary of TMS but technically a separate studio.

Re:Zero - 15
Why is the reset point there and not before he made a fool of himself at the gathering of the candidates. I would have thought that would have been better so he could remain on Emilia path instead of the Rem path.
I wish we got answers from the witches, the original path was interesting, though where was Beatrice.

A slice of life mixed with fantasy (or sci fi) where we already know how the romantic angle will end up and the show is only focused on the day to day activities and a mystery of sorts? I'm in. Hopefully by

You know, as someone who only sees ReZero from the images you guys posts, things seem to be constantly fucked in that series.

Wow, what an outstanding episode. That start was just chilling and was intense the whole way through. The new character is crazy and the VA work portrayed that very well. Rem really is quite a character, like her more than Emilia. Subaru has been way over the top lately but dude still has been through an awful ordeal so not surprised he finally broke in a detached way. Interested in what his next moves will be and how much thought he will place in them.

That's the weird thing about this plot. She's apparently happily married with a child and is sending a letter encouraging her younger self to get romantically involved with a different man.

Re Zero 15
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. At this point it is beyond cruel what Subaru and Rem have both been put through. I was only on the verge of tears at one point. This show has been better than any other this year at capturing the emotion of each character as react to the things around them. The VAs have been absolutely flawless.

It's a bit weird but probably her intention is to make the memories she already has and avoid the ones she regrets. I don't know if she wants to save him explicitly, just cherish the time together. But I mean if her intention is to save him then it's a bit weird if she doesn't tell herself who she eventually marries.
Re:Zero #15
I'm having trouble formulating a comprehensible sentence because of how fucking amazing this episode was.
His reset point is a bit later then I expected, but still great because it keeps most of his previous fuck-ups intact, liking that very much.
And for the rest of the episode... oh boy, where to start. Madness, madness everywhere. Inside, outside, aroundside, offside. Everything descended into ruin in the most entertainingly insane way possible.
God dammit, the amount of detail that went into animating
was delicious.
Well, you aren't really wrong.

Orange ought to have been a tv drama show, it wouldhave been really good, anime doesnt seem right for it 
Nah, Eurobeat is more like those over the top Initial D tracks.
This one is nowhere near close to that, and is pretty chill for the most part.

Orange ep.2
Damn, I love the way they overlay the show with music to help match the tone of the show. This type of ambiance is an excellent way to really get the viewer intk thr show. It's working.... The character interactions are really good and really bring out the individual personalities of their circle of friends. I can't wait to watch the next episode so I can see how thing play out.
AOTY through 2 episodes by far, lol.

Yeah this episode was fantastic. Gave me vibes of 5 centimeters per second.
Loving the vibes of everyone and the flash forward was interesting.
Re: Zero 15
Great episode, the edge did threaten to get out of hand at times and indeed, Subaru's madness was quite funny but other than that, I feel this was handled quite well. Loads of expressive character animation, some nice fights and a really well fitted OST.
Some less than others. And I'm not quite sure where I got that impression from but I thought TMS to be one of less likely to run into this sort of problems. And if they have so much scheduling problems already at this point, this is threatening to be quite a disaster.
I'm in love.

Just my guesses:
1, all the ice. 2, it has fur, 3, "Sleep... along with my daughter." Puck calls Emilia his daughter and the first loop had Subaru following Emilias trails into that ice-chamber, where I'm guessing Emilias body rests 'frozen'.

Obvious Vietnam War reference there. It was your typical story of a war veteran with PTSD abandoned by his country, but with a superhero lens. It was really good though! And it is as heartbreaking as you would expect. It was also kind of funny seeing the 'MURICA FREEDOM' thing represented here in such a cartoonish fashion.

Orange Episode 2 LETTER 02
Kakeru's smile was the best thing ever. Also Kakeru slowly getting in good with the group. Glad he was able to start being invited to stuff from them.
I wish future higata kept his glasses. Also I wonder if the little changes in the past will start to changes things in the future.

Ah, that makes sense.
Puck with the crazy gains while Subaru has been away
Orange 02
I really want to like this, but I just can't buy Naho liking Kakeru. He's such a non-character at this point. Which feels really, really weird, because he is the only somewhat developed character in the whole cast.
Also, it is really scummy of her to try to set up her old self with Kakeru while she is married and has a daughter, and is (supposedly) happy.

Even worse is the fact that the letter said he died when he was 17, so it was during highschool still, and she had 9 more years with Suwa.

It's nice having this back, already enjoying the assholish banter between Kuroki and Sena. New characters are fun, especially the girl with the scopophobia and her AR glasses, but I do hope Asami comes back in a later episode.
Terrorist acts do seem to be a step up from LOGOS and Mythos already. Makes me think that Mythos will probably get some kind of redemption episode later on.
I giggled.

Re:Zero ep 15
Betelgeuse is legit amazing and his reference to Subaru as
.
This arc is going to be all about
and that's going to be rough as they already had me near tears this time around. Honestly this show has been so good so far I'm having a hard time not giving it AOTY
Betelgeuse is legit amazing and his reference to Subaru as
Pride while he is the Archbishop of Sloth leaves me wondering if Subaru is intended to be an Archbishop too and that this process is how the Witch selects her archishops. Perhaps Sloth's mental state is simply the end point of this indoctrination where you fail over and over until you truly recognise that the root cause of all of your failure's is your titular sin. Subaru definitely has pride issues after all and at no time did I feel as if Sloth was threatening to kill Subaru instead he seemed to be trying to educate him as to how his pride was the root of all of his failures.
This arc is going to be all about
watching Rem die again and again as Subaru misses the point
Re:Zero episode 15
Yeah, you know those people who dropped the show because of the last 2 episodes? Yeah, you guys may wanna take it back up because we legit just got the best, most fucked up episode yet.
Holy fucking shit. Its hard to formulate words about this episode. White fox you fucking magnificent bastards. The ending of this episode (Not the post credits) felt like the ending of a fucked up tragedy movie it was so well executed. Just... holy shit!

Re:Zero 15
AOTY, hands down. Love Jojo, but is amazing, and surprising in new ways, week after week. Remember those hater posts about how we all need to quit watching this edgy edgelord filth cause it's just going to be lame?
We would have missed this delightful suffering with amazing animation, amazing soundtrack, and insane voicework.

the spoilers given to us had exaggerated/lied about a whole section of what was basically torture porn. We were told later that part was apparently lies.
