Re: Zero Season 4 Finale - Absolute Zero No words. Shivers down my spine.

SO CUTE.

What a day this has been! It's genuinely been incredible. I remember, in 2016, watching Season 1 as it aired weekly. Never could I have imagined I'd still be here ten years later, providing all the latest news and leaks for you all and being able to follow the production of Season 3 & 4 behind the scenes! It's genuinely been an honour! This will be my last leak for a long while, I'll still be here of course, reporting on all the latest news and happenings in Re: Zero, but I think it's time I take a step back from being a leaker. And so, without further ado, my last leak: I can confirm to you all that Season 5 is GREENLIT behind the scenes. And has been greenlit for a while, too. I don't know when they plan to air, or anything like that, but needless to say, I CANNOT WAIT. I hope you all continue to follow Re: Zero - and for those who are anime onlies - consider reading the Re: Zero Web Novel at Witch Cult Translations! It's peak!

Re: Zero Season 4 - THE FINALE OF THE FINALE. BEAUTIFUL. EMOTIONAL. THE FACT THAT SHINOHARA TOOK INSPIRATION FROM SEASON 1 EPISODE 25'S ENDING WITH THE LIGHTING WAS A STROKE OF GENIUS. A genuinely perfect way to end this incredible, incredible Season!

Re: Zero Season 4, Episode 19 (FINALE): "Shaula / Hero" - OFFICIAL PREVIEW IMAGES

Re: Zero Season 4, Episode 19 (FINALE) - Spoiler Warning Sorry for the wait, I did get bombarded with people asking me when I'd make the post, but y'all had to let White Fox cook. And boy, did they cook. First of all, Emilia vs. Volcanica. What a fucking fight that was. Genuinely, what a fight. It was pure kino. Dynamic, enthralling, had some absolutely insane, even if short sequences that flowed perfectly to the fight at large. Hands down my favourite sequence there was either the moment Volcanica reacted to hearing "The Witch of Envy" or Emilia casting Absolute Zero. Both of them had my eyes wide open in awe. I think overall, when looking at the totality of the fight, if we consider this episode split into three parts, this part was my favourite of the episode. But all three parts are peak. Honestly, there's so much I could gush about this episode, but I want to keep some things a surprise. Now, onto the second main portion: the fight in the desert and Shaula's conclusion. There were some seriously awesome action sequences there too. I also really love how the Giant Scorpion looks when it goes Crimson! And then the scene with Shaula. Her chapter wasn't one of my favourites in the novel, but the more I rewatch the scene in the anime, the more I like how it was done. I think it'll move most people, and they kept her talking with Subaru in the white area. My favourite part had to be Shaula kissing Subaru on the cheek and licking his tears. It felt cheesy in the novels, but actually hit quite hard in the anime. Gorgeous storyboarding too (and honestly, the whole episode, Shinohara cooked on the storyboards). And man. The part that hit the most for me was when the little crimson scorpion came out from the crumbling carapace. It was just so cute scuttling about, into Subaru's hand as an emotional OST plays in the background and Shaula talking about how she even loved waiting for the 400 years she spent. Utter peak. And then, things proceed mostly as in the novels, with talking about Roy being imprisoned in Shamak, Subaru passing out, etc. Then, after Subaru comes to, Rui appears in the Green Room as in the novels. And because of that, the taboo is broken and the Witch of Envy shows up. This is accompanied by an awesome cut of Volcanica blasting her and her shadows away, with an incredible transition to one of Pandora's birds, observing the situation, before flying away. Really, really eerie. And finally. What will likely be the piece de resistance for nearly everyone this Wednesday. The final scene. Subaru awakens in a mysterious clearing surrounded by jungle. And there, we get the end of Arc Six: Rem awakening. The adaptation basically runs to the very end of Arc Six, adapting to the final line, with Subaru telling Rem he's her hero, and that he missed her. To quote none other than Alex DeLarge, this scene was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. It's just so fucking good. So fucking good. I am not going to spoil anything about it, in regards to the choices taken with the storyboarding and direction. But it's utter, sheer gorgeosity made flesh. Also I won't spoil anything about what happens after with what may be played/scrolled (though, no, before you ask, nothing in Arc 7 is adapted). Extended length episode. About 41 minutes in length. Has opening. Wait and see regarding the ending! ■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■. Rating: 9.5/10

NEED I EVEN ASK? HOW WAS THE EPISODE TODAY?
