Re Zero Volume 2 Week 3

Oh, true on both counts!

I did, and boy that sucked. (Spoilers for technically tomorrow)

I feel really bad for him, actually. Why did he go back so many days, though? Last time, it was only back to the beginning of the day… I would also understand going all the way back to the fruit seller, but that would be annoying indeed. Also, I guess that’s the ぐう that happened after seeing 101 Pucks.

Moar spoilers

That was me too. What the frick just happened? I understand that Roswaal was acting all ominous and stuff, but at the same time, he just said “nah, we can just leave them alone”. Maybe something completely unrelated just happened? I don’t know, the clown makeup makes him too suspicious, it feels like a red herring. At the same time, maybe the book is that cliche?

A confusion is me, what. But also why. No.

Edit: I’m supposed to be reading something else now and I just can’t focus.

Summary

Or it’s intentionally cliche so you think it’s a red herring and that is the red herring! Or maybe the author wants you to think it’s a red herring of a red herring, and that’s the red herring!
Like a certain scene from The Princess Bride! :laughing:

裏の裏の裏の裏の裏の裏をかく

Summary

:joy: :joy: :joy:

The first arc was a bit more clear because there was a definite trigger as Subaru said. So it’s nice to see this kind of development unfolding in his head. I guess we’ll see where this is going.

I’m sorry about being the cause that everyone is reading till this point XD But I guess that’s also how the author intended it, what’s with it being the end of a chapter and all :stuck_out_tongue: (In ReZero in particular I always do that, can’t at all stop before a chapter’s ending)

No, you’re right, but also. :cry:

I really wanna know what’s going on~ Why’re we starting on a Monday again. :joy:

More spoilers for end of chapter

And on that point, the chapter’s name was a hint all along: 約束した朝は遠く
Nice :slight_smile:

If you insist :rofl:

Next week is up

Somehow I managed to read over 100 pages over thursday+weekend, and added about 150 words to my Anki SRS. RIP my review load.

I was kinda worried if ロズワール and ベアトリス would speak weird and be hard to understand, but so far they are great entertainment :smiley:.

I was gonna ask a few questions, but instead of bothering to type them I just thought I’d read some more :rofl:. Of what I can remember, use of this much めいた is pretty new to me. Also, when Subaru is taught about the times of day, is 刻 read as とき here? 風の刻 etc.

Sounds like you’re in the zone! :smiley:
Maybe do a certain, sane amount of review cards a day, such as say 10-30 as opposed to 150 all at once?

I love Roswaal and Betty! They’re awesome characters.

I… Don’t remember if there was furigana anywhere, or if I’ve just been reading it as こく for no particular reason I can think of. (Other than it being the first reading I learned for that kanji, that is. And possibly the archaic/otherworldly flair.)

They both fit though, so if there’s not furi it’s a free world word.

Usually I refer to the anime for the reading when I’m in doubt. It’s how I remembered 盗品蔵 as とうひんぐら. In this particular case, I watched the anime too long ago to remember. But if you remember which exact scene it was, I can check.

Edit: In Break Time ep 2 Felt pronounces them as こく

Yeah, I really feel like the intensity is doing wonders to my ability to read for a prolonged time.

Those 150 cards were spread out over 4 days, so in the end it’s not terrible. My learning steps are quite long, so I won’t really feel it until day 7 :sweat_smile:. Not really knew kanji so hopefully not too difficult to memorize, well see.

I have an Anki deck with all the freq>2 cards which I’m doing alongside, so I kind of like to learn the words I’ve read on the same day. That way I get more context, but have the problem of having to add quite a lot of words if I read a lot :smiley:. I guess that problem goes away over time… In the first volume I had about 300 unknonwn freq>2 words, but those were spread out much more evenly, as it I read it over almost four weeks.
