Never done a review before so bear with me for a second this review contains spoilers you have been warned Re:Zero Season 3 is quite unlike the previous two seasons as it is way less focused on the drama and psychological aspect of the show and instead focuses on the action. Which on its own isnt a bad thing could potentially alienate some viewers however I found it to be a breath of fresh air before what comes in Season 4 or arc 6 for the novel readers. That being said lets rate the different aspects of the show from the animation to the story itself. Animation: 10/10. I think very few people will disagree with me on this weve never gotten animation this good in Re:Zero before and some of the fights were simply gorgeous thank you Vincent Chansard. This season really stepped up in the animation department and Im glad it did as its primary focus is action. characters like Capella Sirius and Garfiel were beautifully animated Capellas transformation were especially gorgeous and absolutely lived up to the hype. Action: 8.5/10. I was hoping Id like the action scene themselves a bit more but they were overall still great with the highlight being Garfiel vs Kurgan for sure. Its a shame some of the action had to be cut out but I was still pleased overall. Story: 8/10. As a novel reader I knew that the story wasnt going to be on par with the rest of the anime thus far but it was still great nonetheless. We got some amazing character growth from Garfiel Reinhard and Wilhelm this season all of them having to overcome their weaknesses and deal with their haunting past. However I do think that some of the choices were a bit weird like ending the regulus fight this early on when it was clearly the main focus of this season but thats how it was done in the Light Novel so thats more of a complain of the story itself rather than the adaptation. Some of the cut content also bothers me quite a bit like not bringing up that Al is from earth and instead opting to put this crucial info in... break time? Whatever honestly but some of the other cut content like a good chunk of the Regulus fight being and some of Theresias backstory as well being cut out bothered me quite a bit not that theyre crucial to the story but they made the former much more menacing and the latter much more interesting. Overall: 9/10. it is the weakest Re:Zero season in my opinion but thats not saying much as it is still very good and worth watching. Im sure some people will find it much better or worse than I did but overall it was still great. Im now looking forward to the best arc in Re:Zero being adapted which is the one in the next season. see you there I apologize if I made any mistake as english isnt my first language
