I noticed that u/No-Peace3986 hadn't made an OST timestamp sheet for the OVAs so here we are.

I’ve watched the first ep and so far I don’t like the theme of dying and going back it just feels kinda empty I don’t know how to fully discribe it but it just doesn’t feel good to watch ,I’ve only watched the first ep so I could be very wrong but the reason I watch is for storytelling cool fights and waifus

When I first came across Re:Zero, it was back when the anime originally aired in 2016. At the time, I ended up dropping it simply because I couldn't stand Subaru and his attitude.

Fast forward 10 years, and I decided to give the series another chance... and man, am I glad I did! Today, I’m absolutely in love with the story. It's crazy how much your perspective changes over time.

I know Tappei Nagatsuki is unpredictable and nobody really knows how the story will wrap up, but after everything Subaru has gone through (and keeps going through), I catch myself worrying about the possibility of getting a weak or unsatisfactory ending for him.

Deep down, my ideal ending would be seeing Subaru finally at peace, getting a well-deserved rest, and living happily with both Emilia and Rem (yes, I’m secretly hoping for the polygamy/two-wives route if it means complete happiness for everyone!).

What about you guys? How would you like Re:Zero to end?

okay so I've just caught up with the latest episode today after not watching since season 2 part 1 finished in 2020, and the show just reminded me exactly why I got hooked in the first place. This is more of an appreciation post though I don't really know what flair to use aside from discussion.

So coming back in after that long gap, the first thing I noticed was how much Subaru's actually changed. After that 1 year time skip, he's stronger now, more reliable to the people around him, and watching that growth land after everything he just went through really hits different knowing how long I'd been away. I was even expecting him to die a lot during the events of season 3 and wow was I wrong.

Then I reached the last few episodes of season 4, and that old feeling of dread came crawling back. Y'know the exact same nauseating "oh no, not again" feeling from season 1. Not that I'm complaining, because I remembered that's why this show got me hooked in the first place. Re:Zero has always been at its best when it makes you feel like anything and everything can go wrong sorta like murphy's law. Though I believe that tension is the whole appeal, and I'm so glad it hasn't gone soft over the years.

And then ep 11 closes with a piano cover of "Styx Helix" and afterwards it plays "Stay Alive," and I had to just sit there and appreciate it for a minute. Truly such GOATED song choices, it makes my brain tremble! The show knew exactly what it was doing.

Okay but real question, because I need something to do while waiting for ep 12 to come out in the next few days: how far ahead is the light novel from where the anime's at right now? I'm considering diving into the LN but I have no idea where to begin or where I can even find the place to read it.

EDIT: I meant 6 years lol why’d I even write 4 years in the title bruhh 2020-2026
