The show waited until episode four to do that, and episode five to explain why it was dragging its feet. You’ve got to convince them of that fact early on. You can’t expect the viewers to go into a show assuming you’re a good writer. Which doesn’t make me forgive the fact that those riddles were boring to begin with. Allegedly, every building that was bombed was somehow connected to a person behind the shadowy institute. So not only was this riddle better, but the show revealed that there actually was a point to all those previous riddles. We can all agree that if an organization were to kidnap children, rob them of their name, and force them to undergo cruel punishments, such an organization would be evil. Is Sphinx aware of this parallel, or was this just the show developing its message? I don’t particularly care, because either way, Zankyou no Terror gets across its point. Even the fact that they have numbers for names could be a riff on Japan’s brilliant idea to publicize their students’ ranks on tests. When I consider that Lisa and Sphinx both felt the same way about their life, I’m led to believe that it was a metaphor for Japan’s education system. That scene where the students at the institute were told they needed to abandon their names had such a dream-like quality to it that I was convinced it had to be a metaphor.

Yes, 9 and 12 didn’t go to high school themselves, but the series is undoubtedly trying to draw parallels between the institute and real life high schools. The only contender seems to be Attack On Titan I hope it lives up to the hype.This riddle felt vastly more personal, as the hint involved a case in which a group of high school students were punished unfairly. Out of the pretty much dull year for anime, Re: Zero definitely takes the crown for the best anime of the year so far. It perfectly builds on what was set up earlier and takes the story further with a fast-paced storyline without a single moment that feels out of place.

The 2nd season couldn’t have been better than this, in my opinion. They increase the immersion of viewers in the important seasons while not overshadowing the Voice Actors. The background music, while borrowing tracks from the 1st season, sets up the atmosphere perfectly. Surprisingly I never felt the need to skip them in any episode. They perfectly begin and end the episode in unison. The OP ‘Realize’ by Konomi Suzuki and ED ‘Memento’ by Nonoc are nothing short of bangers. The action scenes were fluid and mostly similar to how things played out before. The art style and animation have been consistent with the 1st season and mainly improved upon that. To see her side of things has been something I really enjoyed. For most of the part, Beatrice is absent and only seen when Subaru needed her in the 1st season.

While Echidna seems to get most of the praise this time around, for me, apart from Subaru, the one who stole the show was Beatrice. I hope we get to see more of her in the 2nd part. They started showing her side, and how the trials have been mentally affecting her. The entire story revolves around her and her, but we rarely see her character arc. Despite being the most important character in the story, it’s surprising how little we see her. My biggest problem with Re: Zero has been the lack of Emilia. As seen in the OVA, their past Emilia still haunts her. With Rem’s absence, Emilia gets more screen time, which wasn’t the case in the first season. With the Mansion situation and the impending doom upon the Sanctuary, the show becomes more nail-biting with each passing episode.

On top of that, as each time Subaru dies, things get tougher. The mystery of the world and the hidden motivations of the characters increase the stakes. While much of the story is left to be covered in the 2nd part of the 2nd season, Subaru’s character development we’ve got so far is too good.
#ZANKYOU NO TERROR TRIAL#
The first trial pushes him to confront his past, which brought me to tears. We get to see his life on Earth and why he turned out the way he did. The Trials at the Sanctuary reveal a side of Subaru that we hadn’t seen before. Which better or for worse puts Subaru in more trouble than he can handle. While we never knew anything about the witches and their lore, we get to know more this time around. Like how each loop worked as unraveling a murder mystery in the 1st season, the 2nd season builds upon that with newer situations and characters. On top of that, psychological horror makes things even tougher. As a character, what Subaru goes through is tough to watch. There are moments he seems to consider suicide, not as a means to go back to the last point but to end his pain. Having lost his support pillar, Subaru is pushed to the brink of his sanity.
