yeah, I've never actually read a light novel until episode 1 Season 2 Re:Zero came out since I could never put myself through the trauma of waiting a whole damn week just to get one episode just so they could take a break halfway through and postpone the second half of the season to start in January 2021. I started reading the web novel on witchculttranslation.com and found I actually got waaaaaaayyyyyy more enjoyment off of reading Re:Zero than actually just watching it. I thoroughly love every single moment of season one but watching each episode of season 2 feels like they're removing ssssssoooooooooo much to fit it into a 23-minute animation. I remember it taking me close to two hours to get through Subaru doing the first trial of the sanctuary, and to watch it get summarized into just 23 minutes felt like such an egregious disservice to me as the fan. I ALWAYS thought that the people that talk about "Oh, the book was so much better," as such snobby pricks who are unnecessarily gate-keeping but I actually understand it now. I took me only a month and a half to get through the entirety of arc 4 since it is already fully translated from chapter 1 to epilogue. I'm glad I decided to read since watching Elsa kill Subaru in the most recent episode would have left me so damn antsy to get the next that fix in a week. Anime is like a damn drug man. And now I'm paying the price of already knowing the contents of the entirety of season 2.
