Another thing that really fucks you up and detaches you from reality is just how much has gone wrong in such a short span from literally doing nothing. As if Subaru got transported to a different world where everything goes wrong. And that moment when his head falls off after seeing the giant wolf creature... really emphasizes it

[@novarangerx6441]

Absolutely, especially thinking about the events of arc 3 and 4 (second half of season 1 and season 2). You don't realize it, but those event happen in the span of around two weeks from my knowledge. Not only that, but having to lose your main support and companion in the middle of all of that, I don't even think I would survive that tragedy.

[@Wrestlingswannn]

I also love how at the end, it just zooms out on Subaru’s decapitated head, with the the silhouette of puck in the back, just having the snow pile on him. No ending song, just that lingering shot. Really hammers home the severity of it

This is 100% a brilliant episode, and made me fall in love with Re:Zero. This and S2 E4 Parent and Child are 10/10. Although personally, my favourite anime episode I've ever watched would be AOT's 'From You, 2000 Years Ago'.

[@tahatohum5685]

Personally, Re: Zero is my all time favourite show, but AOT comes so near of it. Its epic moments like Eren's rages, Erwin's hype moments and OST's like Vogel im Kafig are makes it my second favourite thing. But when it comes to characters and their connections and interactions, psycologies and story telling, Re: Zero is undefeatable.

[@XxSteamStreamxX]

@@tahatohum5685 There are two animes that are far beyond the rest of me, steins;gate and re:zero. Steins;gate episode 22 I think is still my favorite all time episode for its brilliant subtleties and voice acting, and overall I think steins;gate is my favorite anime, however re:zero is the only anime in the forseeable future that could surpass steins;gate with its future arcs and I'm really looking forward to seeing what s3 and even s4 has in store because I'm foregoing reading the WN until it's animated.

[@thelightless]

@@XxSteamStreamxX Steins;Gate, Re:Zero and AOT are my top 3 - FMAB is close but those 4 are a cut above the rest. The soundtracks, the story telling, the psychology - as someone who loves time travel and sci-fi but never watched anime until last year, I was shocked by how good the shows can be.

@@graphite7898 What a coincidence, I've been in the middle of re-watching Kara no Kyoukai recently.

[@haydencrawford8552]

Re zero has a special place in my heart. Subaru is insanely relatable to me. It was like staring into a mirror, and I hated it at first. But seeing Subaru struggle through himself and the obstacles around him made me remember how important it is to not give up. I struggle every day with mental health issues. And even though I've never suffered as much as Subaru has. He inspired me to keep going. The series has made me cry many times. Rem's confession, the entire episode of parent and child. Him never being able to say anything about return by death is also relatable to me, because I find myself deep in depression but I can't even explain why. It feels so lonely and makes everyday life hell sometimes. If it wasn't for Re zero giving me some light I honestly don't know if I'd still be alive. I'm still a bit of a shut in with no direction, but I'm getting better and Subaru has become my favorite anime character along with Rider from Fate/Zero.

[@SilverZekken]

I don't know what to say to that but if you enjoy re:zero and Subaru that much I think you should be like him and continue to live through all the suffering and come out victorious.

Kirito from SAO, Inosuke from Demon Slayer, Belle from Danmachi, an evil priest from HS DxD, doesn’t matter the character role he’ll perfectly portray it. Also, usually u can tell when it’s him bc he has a very distinct scream/arghhhhh sound to his voice.

My favorite episode of Re:Zero was season 2 episode 13. "You should love yourself more." after 38 episodes of buildup for what was supposed to be the big bad, that sentence coming out of Satella's mouth was the biggest brain blasting plot twist I've ever experienced in my entire life. I didn't see it coming at all.

[@sycariummoonshine7134]

@@scotta47 Without too much spoils, she twists Subarus heart to catch feelings for her trough the fear & hate, and when subaru tries to speak against that, awakes memories in him that shouldnt exist, while going to great detail about their shared past... Which shouldn't exist.. Unless there's some really really mind fcking time shenanigans going on. And knowing the author, he's not gonna accept anything less. It's theorycrafting gold. Also the ending, the revelation of who Satella is... (very likely, to get That reaction outta Subaru...).... oh. and ofc goes to greater lengths to saving subaru from himself.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

This anime hits a lot harder when you discover that many of the mistakes subaru makes (not just with others but with himself) are mistakes you've also made. I broke away from a lot of good friends from handling those relationships the way subaru handled his bond with emilia; prioritising personal pride over someone else's wishes, failing to recognise someone's feelings. So to me episode 15 felt like a representation of the darkest times I've been through in my life. Times where time becomes a blur and it's hard to talk or think. And all this made me a fan of tappei as an author in an instant. He portrayed something THIS specific with pinpoint precision. And it also gave me the first breadcrumb to eventually understanding HOW esoteric and introspective the entire story of rezero actually is.

[@lmaolmao8713]

After ep 15 i sat back onto my chair and as I saw the end credits roll down, my body felt as if it was one with Subaru's at that moment. That moment was the thing that made me love this show so much. Thank you for talking about this Echi-donna

I had to search the ost, rewatch the episode, and then keep re-listening the soundtrack until I felt right not doing it. I kept crying, knowing not to watch more until I had processed it, allowing it to leave the biggest mark ever in my heart. 5 Years later, I still got more emotional from listening to it, than anything else. I was back there within seconds of hearing the tune. 5 rewatches of the series and 7 years, and ep 15 still clutches my heart. I know what's going to happen, but it doesn't matter.

Been subbed since Re:Zero Theories - Season 1. I always felt like you deserved far more subs. Also, I used to put your channel name in the tags on my own videos (sorry, lol). And you're absolutely right about ep 15. Betelgeuse's animation, the game of deadly twister, and the wtf ending reminiscent of End of Evangelion are the main reasons why it's my favorite overall episode.

[@eidolon9767]

This episode is what made me really fall in love with re zero. It showed me how amazing the series could portray suffering and hope. My favorite episode of anime though has yet to be animated. I’m waiting for the final chapters of mushoku tensei to be animated. Nothing has ever made me as emotional as the bittersweet ending of mt. However that isn’t really fair, so I think in the meantime my favorite episode of anime has to be in steins;gate where okabe accepts kurisu’s death. This is quickly followed by the last episode of toradora and then this one.

I missed the Re Zero vids from you tbh, its been soo long and i wasnt expecting this upload from you today, but it was an amazing surprise, amma go grab some snacks now and enjoy this video with very based and goated takes.

[@WyvernVin]

You speak thy truth, my friend. It is a masterpiece episode, i remember clearly watching it in the night on my couch and at the end i was just alone with my jaw dropped trying to understand what i just watched, while the credits roll in and now i'm with tears ...i mean, it's weird considering we know he's just gonna reset and re-try but damn, that ending feels so ...final.

[@justcheckingin2105]

I remember when this first came out. I was blown away! This one episode has stayed with me for years and even when forgetting the name of the episode or even the name of the anime. These scenes stuck with me. No other episode of any tv series comes close.

[@Low_Tier_Elf]

5:54 honestly my soul almost went out when I watched this scene. I thought he's back at very first checkpoint and all of his progress lost because I saw the apple guy (that apple guy almost gives me a heart attack!). But I'm cried at joy when I see Rem, It gives me a sense of relief, hoping that this time, Subaru can overcome this loop... But he gives up... The last loop make him lose his sanity, breaking his confidence. This is the moment when I start to sympathized Subaru, he's not only an anime character but a human for me. He has many flaws, but he always tries to find a way to overcome the problem in front on him. He's always scared but never surrender to it. But episode 15 changed it, such a tragic. It's hard to see him at his breaking point; he finally gives up after experienced such an extreme despair, losing every person that is important to him time and time again, and the worst part is he will never escaped it even when he dies. That's why this anime is one of a best for me because it gives you a rollercoaster of emotions that any anime can't achieved even if you watched a hundred episodes in them. Re: Zero only takes 15 episodes to become a masterpiece.

[@Jengamouse]

100% agree, this episode is definitely the most memorable one for me. That credit roll was just perfect, the music and the slow piling up of the snow just had me fixed to my seat until the episode ended.

[@m1keSP]

Man.. shit is real when Echidnut doesn't make any hentai jokes. It was fun watching your vids right after each ep of S2 back then because i didnt know wtf was going on every time and you break it down perfectly and I was an anime only. Yep this episode is GOATed and don't forget that legendary Bell & Hestia meme of Hestia promising to find Bell even when he's reborn and no longer Bell and then we are presented the same VAs with Petelgeuse and Rem LMAO! Congratz on 200k again to my fav anituber fck the haters and believe in S3 to finally come some day..

[@hamzachanafi1483]

Yes i agree completely. I watched a lot of animes all my life i even try to watch almost anything that goes out. But i will never forget this episode it was so overwhelming that i took a screenshot posted it in Facebook (something i rarely do) just to never forget how it felt to watch this

[@_eashy3785]

5th time rewatching re zero. Still is an amazing insane episode and is my favorite episode, also episode 18 with rem starting Subaru “from zero” is right below it, hits hard.

[@No-fh5lz]

On the first watch, the episode felt like an entirely different anime. As if the animation encroached into our reality, a foreign invader. That moment Betelgeuse came on screen made it all the more real to me. I was there, right next to the tortured soul next to me. Watching, as it all unfolded. All the while my mind numbed it out.

[@ChunCat]

Happy Roxy Day!!! I’m so happy that you’ve finally hit 200k, I’ve been subscribed since the videos from the first part of season two and I’ve had so much fun watching all of your videos. I am proud to be a follower of someone from such culture. And a member of Roxyism.

It’s that episode that definitely made me think. “Damn this shit is platinum.”

[@steph2958]

The first time I ever rewatched just a specific episode of an anime was this one. The directing and score had such a huge impact on me.

[@ALEXD4WN]

This was my first anime and I’ve never regretted anything less than that💙

[@seekinpeekin]

Nothing but facts. Episode 15 is what cemented Re:Zero as my favorite anime. Now that its been around a week since I binged season 1 and 2, I still feel like watching more

[@johndelapena3484]

one of the things i love about re zero is how power scales. when ur MC is basically a regular human, all the bat shit insane powers and dangers of the other characters come into full effect. Subaru has to use every advantage and ally he can get his hands on

[@mrcherp9725]

That Ep is definitely a masterpiece. The end scene credit roll was the perfect touch to such an amazing Ep. Though my favorite Ep for S1 was Ep 18 and I'm not even into romance in shows. I usually skip those scenes but, that Ep had me in tears figuratively of course. We all know "real men" don't cry lol.

[@merlin5445]

I watched this anime years ago, then a week ago, I decides to watch it again. This Scene was in my brain and I was like what the flip. Now, in this 1 week period, I watched this anime 2 times including season 1 and 2. This is truly the best anime.

[@RedDeadSed]

I remember this so vividly, in my first apartment the episodes were still coming out. I didn't discover the series until it was at episode 15. I was bingeing it on my off day got to episode 15 at like 2am. Sat there while the credits were rolling, just absolutely shook. I don't think there's ever been an anime episode that made me feel so many different emotions. Went to the kitchen and started drinking 10/10.

[@Fruitspunchsamurai29]

Totally agreed. This episode was such another level that it left a deep impression under me for days. The emotions, ruthlessness and gruesome values shown in this episode shocked me. It truly felt like an ending

[@ayestein5115]

I was browsing through Crunchyroll and found this anime at around midnight, I ended up staying up all night to binge watch it. I had to go to school though right after I finished this episode, but it easily cemented Re:Zero as my favorite anime. It's also the anime where I found my favorite fictional character of all time. This anime is awesome

[@SpectreMkTwo]

This was the only episode of anime that left me crying for 20 mins. Watching rem let killed. Seeing Subaru scream in pain. And seeing the credits roll while the music roared actually left me emotionally broken for the rest of the night when I first saw that episode

[@pauldima9402]

Man you couldn't have summed up the chills in that episode any better. I remember just staring at the rolling credits in shock and disbelief. My mind still had to process what had just happened 🤯

[@highspeedhighjinx7255]

I really like how in the after credits, Subaru was holding Rem’s hand as they both walk off symbolizing that he becomes more protective of her after what he just witnessed.

[@jonathansagall9973]

This was the episode that really made Re:Zero memorable. The music and the rolling credits just made everything perfect. After it ended, waiting for episode 16 was suffering. Your channel also motivated me to read the web novel. It will be a dream to see Arc 6 animated.

[@YellowishOnion]

Kinda nostalgic to remember that I found Echidnut through his re:zero alternate timeline stories... It's really been a while a he's really improved!

[@phantomgrent5750]

Glad you pointed out how great Requiem of silence is as an ost. Don’t know where I heard this but I was told that the director of the episode animated the ending sequence the way he did because of how moved he was by the OST

[@prstechnic1774]

episodes 14 and 15 are burned into my memory forever, but not in a bad way. i never knew a show, let alone an anime, could make me feel this hopeless. 10/10, one of the best animes ever made.

[@J-aimeFaust]

this was the first time i realized anime could be art. the feeling of despair and hopeless shocked me to my core on my first watch and its stuck with me ever since

[@statesminds]

This episode and the soundtrack and the way it ended. Jesus it was so good and hit so hard. This was sheer horror. I found you from Re:Zero episode commentary back in the day. You deserve more subs!

[@mrush007]

Episode 22 of 86 is a master class. The setup of every scene and the use of letter box to show shins mental state is fucking gold.

[@trelerxhyper5044]

Rezero is an absolute masterpiece

[@Expanses02]

This is how I feel about the movie "A silent voice", I don't think that masterpiece could have been the same even if some insignificant components of the productions were changed, since everything just works together so well and i so masterfully done.

[@Sykroid]

When you have a symphonic piece that swells as movie-like credits move down the screen, you know how much love and effort they put into it; because to them it's more than an episode of an anime. It's something you can present at a filmfest. They could've started this episode saying "_White Fox Presents_" and it would've been justified. Fantastic video man; I'm sure the studio would be pleased to know somebody fully appreciate their work of art.

[@stok5445]

This was and still is the only episode of any anime that caused my jaw to literally drop. During those credits, all I could do is stare at the screen in equal parts awe and confusion. It's an absolute masterpiece.

[@Louis-nw1cn]

The thing I like the most about ep 15 is how it presents us how helpless Subaru must have felt. Even turning crazy and refusing to do anything wasn’t enough to protect himself from being hurt. The After Credit scene shows us that in the end he is at the same point where he started and that he didn’t make any progress but still got hurt even more. And it also shows that the reason was his own bad personality which he admitted in ep 18. Again he got nothing in the end and that’s his own fault, that’s what the episode delivered us and that is what I liked the most.

[@stefandesu]

This absolutely makes me want to rewatch Re:Zero again and/or read the novels. Fantastic video!

[@VegaTheAnimator]

Re:Zero is the second anime I have ever watched, as of now I am season two episode two. Just so you know I haven’t ever, EVER cried at a piece of media, and never teared up either. Maybe I would get a little sad and be like as that sucks, but never cried. Oh… my… god… this episode, along with the episode in which Subaru says the what I call bc it’s easy to remember “let’s run away” speech to Rem MADE ME CRY LIKE HELL. Hell crap am I glad I was home alone because holy shit. This show is not only funny at some sections, but amazingly crafted, beautifully made, great action sequences, HEART BREAKING moments, horrifying and gruesome sections. I am obsessed with how actually amazing this show is and it is genuinely insane how much I am. It is all in all one of, nah, the BEST show I’ve ever watched. Absolutely amazing in every way. That’s my opinion at least. Edit: it also sucks i can’t share this with anyone or talk about it with anyone because no one I know has watched it or wants to watch it lol. I wish I could talk with a friend or smth though 💀

This episode is a masterpiece and definitely one of my favorites of all time, the way it cuts to requiem of silence makes you sit there staring blank through the entire credits. However speaking of REQUIEM of a silence and re:ZERO, the zero requiem from Code Geass, the ending of the show and the climax of lelouch's journey easily puts it at the top for me.

[@LFPman]

I can’t exactly remember how I came across your channel. It would’ve been 3 years ago as I started getting into anime and Re:Zero eventually became one of the first few animes I watched. I believe it would’ve been your narration on the IF stories, maybe. This video gave so much insight, that even “a lot” would be an understatement. This series stuck out to me, it’s one I think back to a lot in my small list of anime I watch. And now I appreciate this episode that now hits harder than it did. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, the voice of Betelgeuse, (also famous for Inosuke from Demon Slayer) killed this role. It’s true, he was such a goofy character when we’re first introduced to him, but never did I laugh at nor mock him. Just like you mentioned, the set up for him to casually walk into, couldn’t make you laugh at him, if anything, laugh with him from the insanity this episode gave you. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka plays Betelgeuse perfectly. He sounds amazing whenever he has a mental freak out and it’s unsettling every and no matter the time and place rather than funny. On another note, he plays Season 2’s Betelgeuse also amazingly. We see this psycho that everyone despised for a second time. And he’s calm, composed, civil. He was no longer voiced as psychotic, but now calm like Fuutaro from Quintessential Quintuplets, which personally astounded me and made me appreciate these voice actors a lot more. The way that Season 2’s The Way of Life meant to share similarity to this episode hadn’t crossed my mind. I believe both are chilling in their own merit. But I believe Episode 15 wins, because it’s one of the first times tragedy struck hard. We first hand saw the death of everyone we personally knew, Way of Life’s case left a more unsettling chill that would make you look left and right really quickly out of fear, because there’s no trace of death. We’re either staring death and despair in the face, or it’s right in front us, but we just can’t see it (like the Authority of Sloth). I feel a lot of people refer to Season 2 Episode 10 of Demon Slayer to have a great end credits showing the destruction of a cliffhanger, but that one has a more “Noooo!” that makes you jump out of your seat screaming. But this Episode 15’s end credits have a more inside voice “Nooo” as you’re on the verge of breaking down, shaking your head like it’s a nightmare you desperately want to wake up from. Thanks for making this video Echidnut, really makes me appreciate the Re:Zero series and your hard work a lot more.
