Episode 8: God, it's been a long time since a work made me feel so bad for a character, and I just wanted to protect them from all harm. Yes, the Re:Zero that everyone loves was back.
Episode 9: I already knew about Meili's death because I know the Fandom Wiki page, and besides the good mysteries that the evil Tappei leaves us with, it's here that I finally understand that "Patrasche is the best girl" isn't a meme, it's the simple truth.
Episode 10: I thought that the Subaru-hallucination thing in Arc 9 was Petra's doing, but no, it turns out that if you read someone's Book of the Dead, a pseudo-ghost is created, born from the interpretation of the reader's memories. And Mother of God, that cliffhanger with Ram, she's the new aura monster.
Episode 11: I'm writing this after watching the episode, and after the hype from fans who've read the novel and Sean Chiplock's statements, what I have to say is… now I understand the hype. The fact that Subaru is drowning again because of his insecurities, traumas, and past mistakes, and that it's Emilia, the woman he was always willing to fight for, who tells him he's worthy of being loved, mwah! Chef kiss. Well, now to wait for August 12th. (I can say without a doubt that I wasn't the only one who got excited about Stay Alive - Regain, a real blow to those who have been fans since 2016.) (By the way, I listened to the full version while writing this and 99k in just 9 hours? What does that say about the size of this fandom?)
Actually, my overall opinion of the two episodes is that they were okay… I don't know what else to add. This is the third time I've watched this season, and I don't know, I think the excitement is gone. Either that, or it's the fanfiction's fault.
I forgot about this again, and yes, I need to get my priorities straight.
Episode 3: Yes, I agree with many that the tunnel horror scene is the best part of the episode, and I didn't have any expectations for the battle against the Centaur, because something in the trailer already told me it wouldn't be that great.
Episode 4: I don't have much to say about the episode in general, except that it's a bit frustrating that Subaru himself, with his knowledge of the stars, didn't notice all the signs: the names of the Archbishops, a centuries-old tower that (technically) bears his name, and now the proof? This only increases my desire to write a fanfic where Subaru notices these things and starts becoming a conspiracy theorist.
Episode 5: Besides the excellent decision by the animation team to depict reading a Book of the Dead, I have nothing else to say—well, no, except that Sugita Tomokazu remembered I need to watch Gintama.
Episode 6: While I acknowledge that Subaru's beating in Arc 3 was necessary, I can't forgive Julius for saying "You're not worthy of her." Even so, I liked the relationship between these two idiots (I don't ship them, but I can enjoy a good fanfic).
Episode 7: This episode, except for Subaru, Foxdina, and Julius, was good. It made me realize that so far in Arc 6, the story feels almost bland, though even I admit that's a strong word. For readers of the web novel/light novel, do you have this same feeling, and does it improve after Subaru's amnesia? Or is that the production team's fault? I'd love to hear your opinions.
Well, I neglected this so much I'm embarrassed by it, but better late than never, I guess.
Ep 3: An exciting end to the first arc and introduction to Re:Zero, although Reinhard's last line ("This might be the last time we can see the moon in peace")… I find it… er, a little odd.
Ep 4: An excellent prologue to the second arc. I can't complain about anything. My congratulations to screenwriter Tokumoto Yoshinobu for the adaptation.
Ep 5: A pretty good second episode, and as always, the best part is Subaru's death, Subaru's despair, the music, the direction… my congratulations to director Rakashima Daisuke.
Ep 6: An otherwise good episode, especially the cliffhanger.
Ep 7: On my first viewing, I didn't understand why Subaru decided to commit suicide because of the girls who tortured him, but thanks to the additional context, I understand both sides… but I definitely don't support either of their decisions.
Ep 8: I know the lap pillow is a very important aspect of Subaru's story, but I, I, am not entirely convinced.
Well, let's see if I can post my short opinions on the following episodes of season 4.

I thought the episode itself was fine, but thanks to Conejotako's video about what was cut from the light novel, here's my two cents on those changes:
I think it's a good idea to have Joseph the earth dragon from the beginning instead of another earth dragon who would later be replaced by Joseph on the way to the Watchtower, because showing you how to calm Joseph from the start makes a lot of sense, and changing him halfway through would be a bit of filler.
Having a few dozen Oiranguma instead of the "thousands" in the light novel makes sense, as it would be too difficult to animate them.
I agree with everyone that it's a shame to cut the scene of Subaru comforting Beatrice with Invisible Providence, but they had a time limit and something had to be sacrificed. Anyway, maybe we'll get an animated scene in the Director's Cut… wait a minute…
The second episode was a bit weak compared to the first, but it's still enjoyable.
Although I noticed that Subaru didn't realize he had time traveled at first, I suppose realizing you've time traveled after dying wouldn't be anyone's first thought.
For the 10th anniversary of the Re:Zero anime, I've decided to rewatch it, one episode every Saturday, and yes, while also watching season 4.
Why am I posting this only on April 7th? Because that's just me.
What do I have to say about episode 1?
That Subaru's monologues out loud… well, I understand that the author didn't have a character for Subaru to talk to, and speaking out loud helps the audience understand, but if you're going to use external monologue and then switch to internal monologue only for short phrases, dude, you're better off sticking with the internal monologue.

Gazing Upon the Stars: An Interpretation and Reading of Re: Zero’s Arcana Cards
#0 - The Fool: Natsuki Subaru
Prelude/Disclaimer: By their very nature, Arcana cards are vague enough to fit pretty much any interpretation. I was more than aware of this fact going into this. You could theoretically take any of these cards and interpret their meanings in a billion different ways.
Regardless, I find it fun to look at these and think about why certain characters may have been picked for each card, as well as what certain symbolism within each card could mean. If you disagree with anything I state, all the power to you. This is just my interpretation.
Additionally, this is structured and written quite a bit differently from my normal analysis. I wanted to try something new for a project this big. If you find it off-putting, my apologies.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into the first card.
The Fool is a card of new beginnings, a fresh start from zero for someone taking their first steps into the world. He is often interpreted as the protagonist of the Arcana, the other major cards representing his journey through the world. That is why The Fool is often labeled as both the 0th card and the 22nd card of the deck. This power as the inception and the conclusion represents The Fool’s infinite potential; his ability to achieve anything he desires by completing his journey. It’s a loop the entire world revolves around, beginning and ending with him.
As The Fool is a card of new beginnings, it also represents becoming free from one’s previous life. The constraints that held him down are gone, allowing him to truly develop into someone better. He does not realize what kind of journey lies ahead, one full of trials and tribulations, but he would not care even if he did know. The Fool wants to enjoy the present, his life with those he has come to love. He looks forward foolishly to a better tomorrow when the loop is finally complete.
However, when reversed, The Fool takes on much more negative qualities. He is insecure, unable to fully act as the carefree idiot exploring the world to its fullest. Something holds him back, a remnant he can no longer return to. It causes The Fool to be reckless and uncaring of consequences. Additionally, he is indecisive, unable to make hard decisions when they're needed. Both these traits often lead to the suffering of the ones he loves. These are character flaws, ones which can spell the end for him. In order to right himself once more, The Fool must find a way to overcome them.
The Fool possesses an ever-faithful companion. While traditionally it is a dog, here it is a girl and her shadow hands. This companion is loyal, staying by The Fool even as he fails over and over. Whenever The Fool is at his lowest, she encourages him not give in to despair. Furthermore, she is an ever-present reminder that The Fool must be careful to not lose track of what he cares about most when navigating the world. There are many he would hate to lose, and many more who would hate to lose him.
The sky stretches endlessly above The Fool, once more symbolizing the infinite potential of the journey above him. Interestingly, this sky is different from the typical tarot. The Pleiades stars dance in the background, with their follower Aldebaran close behind. The Fool’s home, Earth, is distant. It is a place he knows he will never be able to return to.
The strangest of the bunch though, are the Sun and the Moon. The Sun cries tears of blood, closing its eyes and refusing to watch The Fool’s journey. It seems to be in utter despair. Yet The Moon… it watches. The Fool is a spectacle to amuse it, another piece in the game called fate. The intentions of both are ambiguous, as are their identities, yet they still look down as Observers upon The Fool as he experiences the great journey that is now his life.
“Sorry about that. Even though I take off my shoes when I enter a house, barging into someone’s heart with dirty feet is a family tradition of the Natsuki household.”
To read the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, from Phantom Blood to Steel Ball Run.
Yesterday and today I read the first 9 chapters, and the only thing I could think of was to summarize each chapter in one line:
Prologue: an ugly Mexican mask, a reference to Les Misérables, 19th-century England, and the beginning of one of the most legendary rivalries in manga.
The Invader Dio Brando, Part 1: ChadDio, VirginJojo.
The Invader Dio Brando, Part 2: the fastest love story ever, and Erina should get a restraining order against Dio.
The Invader Dio Brando, Part 3: Jojo has a nice chat with Dio about setting boundaries.
The Invader Dio Brando, Part 4: here's Danny's Song, by Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina.
A Letter from the Past, Part 1: A small memento from his father, Dario, brightens Dio's afternoon.
A Letter from the Past, Part 2: Dio misses his daddy.
The Stone Mask, Part 1: Jojo goes to a decent neighborhood to find medicine.
The Stone Mask, Part 2: Jojo meets the first Jojofan, and Dio gets a guinea pig.
Yesterday, Monday, I started reading The Black Tides of the Sky, the first part of Tensorate by Neon Yang, which was recommended by Eli from the Libros Prestados channel.
I finished the first five chapters today, and I have to say the pace is fast. Seriously, I read the first chapter, five characters are introduced, the world's lore is mentioned as if it were nothing, and the scenery is barely described so you have to imagine the rest…
Today I read up to chapter 5 (chapters 1 through 5 are the first part, Mokoya's story), and if I hadn't decided to read only ten pages each day, I'd say I'd enjoy this novella more if I read it in one day.
Tomorrow I start the second part, called THENNJAY.
I was supposed to post this on December 31st, but, well, a lot of things happened.
Last year I set myself a small challenge: to read 1 chapter of 3 mangas every day (except Sundays, when it was 4). The challenge was to read 52 chapters of 22 manga, all of which are a) popular and b) have had anime, although some were adapted last year, some will be adapted this year, and some haven't been adapted yet.
Anything I learned from this experience?
From now on, I'll commit to only one manga at a time, even if it takes me months to finish it.
I noticed that many manga are fast-paced, in the sense that there's always something happening, as if the authors are afraid to take a break. Anyway, I'll explain this a bit better in my reviews.
So, here are the reviews of the 22 manga I read in 2025, plus the tier list. I hope you enjoy it!
The Saga of Tanya the Evil: It started well, which is what I expected given the reviews I'd read and heard, but… at one point, I felt like it all fell apart, and worst of all, despite all the action scenes meant to compensate for the long political discussions, it all became incredibly boring for me. That said, episode 52 rekindled my interest a little, but only a little. Even so, I plan to watch the anime and the movie.
Goblin Slayer: I watched the anime when it premiered (I don't remember if was before or after its controversial first episode), and it all seemed interesting, but it had a similar problem to the previous one. Let me put it this way: it's one thing for your work to be based on role-playing games, and another for your work to be a role-playing game turned into a story. I don't know, I'm comparing it to the beginning of the story; everything gets boring because at no point do I feel like the characters are in real danger. Anyway, I'll give the anime, its movie, and its second season a chance, to see if the problem is with the manga.
Komi Can't Communicate: The only one on the list I finished, because it was already completed earlier this year. I quite liked the manga, even though the author sidelines certain characters in favor of others (except for Yamai, nobody likes Yamai). My favorite "arc" is the second-year arc, which is where my favorite characters and moments come from. I recommend reading 10 chapters a day, because most of them are short and you'll finish them in no time.
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun: This is actually a continuation, starting from chapter 325. With this continuation, despite it being one of my favorite manga, I have noticed its flaws, but I still consider it my good-feeling, a warm blanket during autumn days.
The Apothecary Diaries: I know this series for two things: the Mao Mao x Jinshi pairing and the mysteries solved through knowledge of poisons. It didn't disappoint me in either respect. I'll let the manga continue its run before I continue reading.
Record of Ragnarok: I vaguely remember watching wrestling matches on TV when I couldn't find anything better to do (don't ask me anything, I have zero memories of those matches). I'm willing to overlook all the author's creative liberties, because the important thing is the matches, and the ones I've read have been getting better and better. However, when I pick it up again, I'll read several chapters a day, like one match a day.
The Dangers in My Heart: … I'm sorry, Boku no Kokoro fans, but Ichikawa and Yamada didn't steal my heart. The problem is me; I don't believe in romantic love. Even so, I'm willing to give it a second chance… someday.
Chainsaw Man: The dark manga of the moment. A messed-up world? Check. A protagonist with tons of problems? Check. Amazing monsters? Check. An interesting magic system? Check. But I also would have enjoyed this manga more if I read several chapters a day instead of one chapter a week. I'll pick it up again, but in the future.
The Eminence in Shadow: This is a parody of stories about a reincarnated being who becomes the most powerful person in the world and has hordes of women vying for his… attention. I would recommend it for that reason, because that's what it is. Sorry, but revisiting it isn't on my radar.
Spy x Family: I loved the characters, the comedy, and the linear plot that's developing. I'll wait for more chapters to be released before reading it.
Mission: Yozakura Family: Yes, yes, the "cheap copy" of Spy x Family, but let me say this: anyone reading this looking for something similar to SXF will be disappointed, because this manga is more absurd than SXF; it has serious moments, but seriously, it has a humor that reminds me of American animated series from the 2000s, I don't know why. It's okay, nothing more.
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Similar to Shadow, what I liked most was the absurd humor; the author knows he's not writing a Tolstoy or a Tezuka, so he dedicates himself to pointing out every cliché and mercilessly blasting the fourth wall with a Gatling gun. I recommend it for the comedy, because the romance is… well, it's there.
Undead Unluck: Yes, I'm an Andy x Fuuko fan. Next question. I can't add anything to what's already been said about the manga, except that, despite its merits, it didn't completely win me over. I don't know, I feel like it was missing something. For me.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: The Disappointment. Oh, bro, what a disappointment. It's my own fault for trusting the anime's hype, because the manga, yes, won an award, but no one I follow talks about it. I couldn't connect with the main characters; the magic system is okay; and the plot… Yes, I know the important thing is the characters' relationships, their development, but it wasn't for me. I didn't hate it, it just disappointed me. I'll give it another chance, but in the distant future, I have no idea when.
Kaiju No. 8: It started well with the idea of a man in his 30s fulfilling his dream of saving the world, but my main problem is that the plot never lets up. It's like a road trip where there's never a break to use the restroom or eat together; it moves at a fast pace and then suddenly floors the accelerator as if it wants to before returning to its previous speed. My main issue is the lack of interaction between characters. I'm sorry, but I barely care about these people. Anyway, I know the manga had to rush its ending due to low sales, and it's already been decided that the third season of the anime will be the last. I'll give it another chance and then watch the anime.
Kagurabachi: Ah, the meme manga. The best parts: the action scenes and the magic system, in that specific order. Otherwise, the only character with any real personality is the protagonist, and he has a goofy face that rivals Bella Swan's in the Twilight movies. The plot is cliché, but it has a few good moments, and while the art has some nice scenes, most of it looks like the mangaka handed in a rough draft or sketch because their editor was rushing them.
Wind Breaker: A couple of years ago I read Crows and Worst, a manga series about teenage boys who form gangs and have violent fights with each other. Now I'm wondering, "Why did I read them?" Wind Breaker is similar in that it features teenage boys at an all-boys high school who form gangs and fight violently with other gangs, but it differs in that these are men who aren't afraid to show their feelings or have personalities beyond the fights. The plot didn't convince me up to where I'd read; the fights were good and I liked the characters, but that's about it.
Go! Go! Loser Ranger!: I grew up with Power Rangers, although when I first started using the internet I watched a couple of Sentai series. I liked all the parody of these franchises, although the characters didn't completely win me over.
Dandadan: The manga and anime of the moment. I won't deny that I enjoyed it, but it has a small problem similar to Kaijuu No. 8; the plot is relentless. It's true, we have moments of connection and interaction between characters, but they are just that—moments—and no, I'm not counting the extra chapters. I'll continue the crazy adventures of the Ballless Boy and the Esper Girl, but by reading several chapters a day.
Akane-banashi: My surprise of the year. I hadn't heard anything about this manga, and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's the typical sports story of a protagonist who enters the competitive scene and rises through the ranks, but a) the protagonist is a woman and b) the "sport" is rakugo, a type of traditional Japanese comedy that's always depicted in manga and anime, but nobody knows what it is—until now. I saw the announcement for the anime in 2026, and yes, I'll watch it episode by episode and then binge-watch it.
Gachiakuta: Yes, the magic system is very interesting and the art and character design are incredible, but again, the plot doesn't let up… well, it has a couple of breaks, but there's no time for the characters to interact or for the world to be revealed, although I know that would be fixed if I read more chapters. Anyway, I'll continue.
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian: The Russian Girl's romantic comedy that you either love, hate, or are indifferent to. I'm in the last group. Sorry, but maybe romantic comedies aren't for me.
