Even Volcanica the divine dragon recognized that Patrashe IS best girl. This season has been everything I love about Re:zero. I enjoyed season 3 but it was definitely not as strong as Season 2 for me, but season 4 was an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. And I can’t believe they leave us off with Rem being back, albeit with no memories. I guess poor Shaula waited 400 years for her master, I can manage to wait 2-4 years for the next season as well!

White Fox really went all out on this episode, this entire season has been incredible visually but the Rem vs Rye was something else! Emilia summoning an army of ice Subarus (iconic pose included!) only to have them shattered over and over as she creates more to help her reach her goal is an oddly apt metaphor for the real Subaru with his Return by Death.

So that’s how Reid was able to get out of his exam room across all the loops, he raised his Ego stat so high he can overpower others personality and very bodies just with his memories alone - what a legend! This entire season has been incredible but I think this might have been my favorite episode so far. The whole Shaula moment, Subaru facing death again and again and learning from every mistake as he keeps looping over and over, and the very human moment of trying to play things off but his body failing him as he finally breaks down from the trauma of seeing his friends die again and again. Peak isekai continues to deliver!

Who is Rem? --> Who is Emilia?

Absolutely brutal tease, I was ready for it to be the new meme but Satella mercifully spared us from that timeline with her interruption.

It’s finally back! This wait was killing me!

I feel like we’re fast approaching a point where Chokki must choose between upholding her eccentric “romance” views or prioritizing her actual romance. She’s been content to just enjoy her happy random moments together but the reality is about to come crashing down once graduation day comes. Either one of them breaks and goes for it or the manga is inevitably heading towards a bittersweet conclusion, which is something I wouldn’t even mind if done right - sometimes things just don’t work out.

(Disclaimer: This is a personal opinion.)

I think you perfectly put into words why I don’t enjoy watching adaptations of manga/LNs that I’ve read. Baring some exceptions, I always feel like the adaptation doesn’t really add much compared to the source material and in many cases it detracts from it, skipping scenes for the sake of pacing or just being badly animated because of budget/timing constrains.
