Understandable, people wanted to see the fight with Regulus and got a background character's backstory.
People have to realize the animators (and the budget) need a break after last episode.
@MenchiK1
I don't think the animation took THAT drop in quality, there were moments where it was really good!
I get people want the subaru stuff and they don't care about a side character's backstory, but Re:Zero shines with how good even the side characters are
Liliana might be the least fav or even most hated character, but the anime really did a decent job with her regardless.
also, the Priscilla and Liliana vs Sirius fight was ongoing, so it's reasonable we'd get an episode dedicated to that battle's conclusion.
and regarding the whole fight, Priscilla took Liliana with her because of her divine protection that can break through Sirius's authority which was already established in a previous episode, so her singing was gonna play a part in the fight anyway, Priscilla could have ended the fight anytime she wanted but any wound she inflicts on Sirius would transfer to the crowd, so she stalled the fight till Liliana broke Sirius's authority and, then she delivered the killing blow, only her sword ran out of juice at the last second WHICH SHE MENTIONS, and Sirius body ended up in the water in one piece, otherwise it would have been chopped in 2 pieces in the water nonetheless.
it was a well thought out fight, I've seen dumb fights in anime before and that wasn't one.
I know I'm ranting here, maybe the average anime only doesn't see it how an LN reader does, maybe it was one of those episodes.

It didn't have a drop in quality. It just takes more effort and outsourcing to animate a 20 minute fight scene than an episode like this.

A bard's song was the theme of the episode both in a literal and a metaphorical sense. Seeing her story gives her image much more maturity and so does to Priscilla who gave it her all in this fight with splendid moves that came at a cost. At one point I was doubt if she would survive but that couldn't be her end as the ceremony will be held in the future to public acclaim.

Now it's time to stop the time stopper.

I felt like this episode was kind of a drag and maybe even a bit boring. I don't mind backstories to characters but with how many episodes there are and each one having around 20 minutes of run-time, I felt this was unneeded and could have been spent focusing on something more important.

In general, this episode was just uninteresting filler.

after rereading this part in the novels, this adaptation is actually not great. they cut pretty endearing and interesting things from her backstory and the tower scene sounded a lot cooler in the novels. along with lore cuts that the re zero adaptation is just kinda known for at this point. i mean, its only bitten them in the ass once so far (Al) but im just worried they might cut some really important stuff towards the end of the season.

also they keep butchering any moment that makes Subaru not look useless and its kinda infuriating when this arc is narratively supposed to be a test of his progression

The episode was great and the animation and production are great too so no complaints from me there, I also like Liliana as a character and I was looking forward to it but I must say, her flashback wasn't good, I understand having an emotional flashback but the emotions wasn't there, the only thing I've learned is that she was a brat that couldn't sing and what did she do? she ran away from her parents to start her Bard career or whatever, like what the fuck? what kind of lame flashback is this? nah man, I wasn't satisfied with it, if I was gonna get a lame flashback then I rather not have a flashback at all.

And of course, the villain was thrown into the water, we all know she's 100% not dead because they never die when you throw them into the water which is a shame, that villain suck ass and I want that fucker to die already, too many dumb boring villains here that feel more like fillers and Sirius is one of them IMHO, just kill that fucker off to move on to the other villains.

Still a nice episode but I will have to remove a point because of that lame flashback, so 4/5.

Did anyone else get suprisingly happy that there was a decent post credit scene? Lots of folks disliked how subaru is figuring out Regulus' powers in the show, but this did help. This might be the first or second time in the show they mentioned Subaru's intense constellation knowledge.

No it isn't. Source is Crunchy Subs.

Also "Yang Sword" is a terrible translation. It's not even a word. You might as well claim the sword should be called "Garbledi-glooble", for how little the word "Yang" means. Plus you can't do cool lines such as "And now the Sunlight Blade shall bask in the sunlight" (or whatever Priscilla said that had the word "Sunlight" appear twice in one sentence) if you change the sword's name from Sunlight.

Oh no. I keep thinking "This is going to suuuuuck on a rewatch" . Having flashbacks occour in the middle of fights scenes, seriously drags down the pacing.

Flashback episodes are the one thing I don't look forward to on rewatches since I already know the backstory, and it is getting in the way of the fight. We get it, you don't like flowers, now kill the whale.

I FREAKING LOVED THE SONG BY LILIANA , THE PASSION THAT she showed really resonated with me and seeing that she was abandoned by her family but still kept going and making a name for herself in the big city was just joyful to watch


and the fight between priscilla and wrath was stunning with the visuals as always, REzero is the peak anime we all know and love , patiently waiting for the next episode

Ep 11 was the worst episode for me. It embodied everything I don't like in ReZero:
- bad mindless fights (there was no choreography to the fight, with introduction "I can cheat death with gems" it started to have even less meaning)

- plotpoints pulled out of the ass (Sirius is of course alive, she was "pushed her into the river by slice of the sword". How the hell this works?)

- cutesy-naked-cheery actions (whole Bard personality, voice and backstory just doesn't fit the thmese they're trying to portray. I understand the plan to defeat Sirius and why Bard is necessary, but understanding it doesn't make it good). Also I can't stress enough how I disliked Priscilla naked scene and kissing Bard scene, as well as fullscreen Emilia ass. I'm not prim, but it just doesn't suit well for the show's themes in my opinion

- main subplot is delayed by boring subplots (same went in s2p2. There is also another example of this: Walking Dead. That season when they started doing same thing is considered the end of the show)

This whole s3 with each passing episode is becoming more boring and stale. And each episode after hiatus was extremly bad and from what I've heard it will continue to be like that from now on. Although there seem to be a hype about the next ep, but when I asked about it, I think I will hate it even more next week. These "wifes" subplot is just meh.

Also at this point Subaru is just your typical (but now annoying) hero, because he doesn't die which was his main shtick.

The loli is such a pointless character. I simply do not see the appeal of a character like that. Even her voice is grating like running sharp nails on a blackboard. And irrelevant to the story. You could write her out with no problem whatsoever and just have Priscilla conduct her business. But I suppose it appeals to people of a certain persuasion, otherwise I don't get why half the episode was spent on her.

@Damare_zasshu I have no hate for Liliana, I already stated a couple of times around here that I like that character because she reminds me of Betty and I love Betty.

That being said, her backstory was shit and if she's skinny due to malnutrition then that's all on her because she was a dumb kid that left her parents to start her bard career, this was really fucking dumb, I understand if she left her parents because they were bad or abusive parents or whatever, but no, they were actually nice parents.

I still don't hate Liliana, but she lost some points from me because of that stupid dumb as fuck backstory.

We got the whole backstory for Lilianna now, whom I don't really care about that much tbh. But finally Priscilla won that fight, even though she really had to go to her limit it seems. But it seems she didn't even actually kill her?

ok man, i thought it d be diffucult to get an even worse episode than the cringe speech one but goddamn it this one was far worse, more than half of it dedicated to the worst character in the show an then actual fight, patheitc villain, has nothing interesting to say, she just whines an much worse fails to even put an scratch on the good guys, gets hard countered by the good guys abilities like wth? nothing ineteresting about having a villain like that, TLDR trash tier villain... an then, theres the good guys, leaving the stupid loli aside, blonde chick happes to have every ability who happens to counter the villain, that makes fights BORING, no matter how well animated they are, an then, despite having all the advantages she tosses the villain into the river? why not slash her head? you are aware that she has superhuman abilities right? if the loli can survive being tossed into the river, you think the villain cant?
anyways i hope this villain doesnt return though, she was trash

Liliana's a shining example of a starving artist. She gave up everything to perform in priestella, and it was through her music and Priscilla's awesome sword woman skills that they were able to defeat wrath and free those brainwashed citizens from her control.

The contrast in Priscilla's and Sirius's ideals made this a fun battle to watch.

This episode was focused primarily on Liliana, and we get to understand her perspective on life.

Yes, Priscilla was the one doing the fighting, and we learn that she can transfer the damage she would take on physical items that she holds dear, but Liliana had a battle of her own. Throughout her life she’s been trying to find what it means to be a Bard and the inspiration to create unique songs to express herself, despite going against what her parents wanted. Speaking of her parents, it seems that they moved on from her and had another child, but I wonder if the day will come when they will be able to meet and resolve their differences.

Regardless, Liliana used the power of her music to save those citizens and Kiritaka came just in time as she was about to drown. It seems that Liliana may have feelings for Kiritaka, but we’ll have to wait and see.

It seems that we’ll have to wait to learn the ins and outs regarding Priscilla’s past, but now Sirius is down, so there’s one less Archbishop to deal with.

I’m guessing the next episode will focus on the fight against Greed, especially since now Subaru, Emilia, and Reinhard know that Greed has stopped time on his body, preventing him from taking any damage.

Let’s see what happens next!

The introspective on Liilana and her songstress history, seems like she has kind of a rough past with her parents always limiting her freedom.

Liliana breaking Sirius's Authority with logic, which initially wasn't part of the plan, finally came through for Priscilla to break her soul of Wrath against the lofty ideals of love. This creates the stage for the songstress to perform her song, regardless of her past, which has been quite the roller-coaster of a ride of ups and downs surviving against the bare minimum and telling people about her songs. And whenever songs of poets came to her, it's almost like revelations one after another, and the current landscape of the counterattack is no different at all, allowing the criticality of Priscilla's offense and victory against Sirius. And the man who've always believed in her songstress, saving her one more time to the delight of the little girl, what a reunion between Kiritaka and Liliana.

Subaru unlocking the secret of the Sin Archbishops, especially for Regulus, the time has finally come to bring the egoist down.

All power to Liliana, she stole the limelight for this episode, very, VERY well.
