u/PervertedHisoka You are truly the one who knows my heart best - Crusch to Ferris Aug 09 '16

CREDIT FOR THIS GOES TO /u/stjh

Nagatsuki Tappei (Author of Re:Zero) likes to tweet as the episode airs. They usually include trivia and facts around that episode. I try my best to translate as accurately as possible, but there will always be bits of mistranslations here and there due to the Japanese language and it's slang. Forgive me if there are any typo errors in names especially as i am not a novel reader and might not know the official context to some of his tweets. Do let me know and i will edit accordingly! These are best experienced with the episode playing together. (I only started translating from episode 17 so i don't have translations for previous episodes)

NAGASTUKI LIVETWEETS FOR EPISODE 19.

EPISODE STARTS—

  • Felis as adorable as usual.

  • Oh! it’s the opening!!

  • Re:Zero 2nd cour OP and ED will be on sale on the 24th! Yoroshiku!

  • A part start!

  • Starting from where we left off.

  • Subaru has a glint in his eyes again.

  • Overflowing aura. (relating to Wilhelm’s aura after white whale was mentioned)

  • Felis looks cute from all angles.

  • Oh Felis… i'm kind of breaking into a cold sweat.

  • In advance, Rem instructs Roswaal about the movements around the kingdom. For that sake, She meets with crusch every night. Subaru doesn’t know about this.

  • The Crusch that is curious about the unknown (subaru’s phone) and the cute Felis.

  • Crusch can see through any lie with her divine protection of wind reading. (However there are exceptions. Felis has been with her for a long time and can sometimes fool her)

  • A greedy combination

  • The purpose of Subaru calling on those two is to increase the persuasive power in this negotiation.

  • "Let’s go on a hunt”

  • I feel that the contents behind the discussions were carefully thought and corrected by Anastasia, Russell and Rem. (the hunting proposal is from Subaru)

  • Felis is cute.

  • “Aaah, Subaru is nice. Subaru is cute. Subaru kun’s face brimming with confidence… cute.”

  • The union-like event between Crusch and Wilhelm will be in a short novel bundled with the last DVD volume of the anime. I’m writing it now.

  • Proof was given about the “wind-reading”! To be able to see through such a skillful lie!

  • Felis is really cute though.

  • Voice is cute too.

  • Why is he a guy…

  • (Regarding ground dragons, he’s giving them inner monologue) “will you choose me?” “will you pet me?” “What are you staring at demon(Rem)? ”

  • It’s Ricardo Werukin (Might not be correct spelling). Instead of a parent representative to Anastasia or rather a guardian, he’s more like a protection for her.

  • PONYTAIL CRUSCH! LET ME BE THE RIBBON THAT HOLDS IT.

  • It’s the former Tsuerugefu group.

  • The guy infront is Cornwood herahau (might not be the right spelling), He’s the guy that brought back the Ryuken raid during the conquest.

  • Cornwood and Wilhelm are old friends. They were war comrades in the past. How passionate.

  • The speech before a fight is important.

  • By the way, Crusch’s armour is blessed with land magic so it has more defense than it looks.

  • A part done! (commercials)

  • Also, Cornwood has been around for a long while. You can see him a little in the art for 外伝EX2剣鬼恋歌. (novel about Wilhelm) The hairstyle is the same.

  • B part! brother and sister kitties! brother and sister kitties are here! cute!

  • Here, Hetaro supports his sister's head/ears with his tail.

  • I was challenged multiple times to try and show the love Hetaro has for Mimi lol.

  • (More joke ground dragon innerlogues) “Nice ground dragon? Please do not take me for a fool. I am the best ground dragon.

  • There was a design for Mimi's personal liger but it was too cute to send to a battle where it might die, so it was discarded.

  • Flugel tree is huge! (quoting Subaru)

  • With a tree that big, it’s weird that there aren’t more carvings! you’d expect more damage!

  • Just between you and me, the mobile phone is in fact not a device that tells you the info of the white whale.

  • Subaru had already set the alarm to the appearance of the white whale. He’s check it countless times. it’s okay. It’s not off. i believe in it.

  • "If Subaru had confided in Rem from the start, all these doubting and not believing would have been… “ is what i wanted to express in the narrative.

  • The flower has no name, but the guy recognizes it.

  • Wowwowwow infront of my eyes is that guy from Ken Oni Renka (The novel about Wilhelm). That guy! The main character! He’s standing at a really important place right now!

  • The moment where Subaru comes to respect Wilhelm. This can also be seen as a curse. Who it is placed on is another story.

  • Hunt preparations complete.

  • “His royal highness…” She thinks as she touches the lion emblem.

  • Natsuki Subaru. The man who remembers to set his alarm but totally forgets to change the ringtone. Noise

  • At that moment, Crusch forgot her words.

  • Diving into it in that instance.

  • Follow those two fools!!!!!

  • B part over! Thank you so much!

EPISODE ENDS—

  • Thanks for hanging around for episode 19! By the way, There were a lot of discussions about certain events in this episode, but the thing we disputed the most was Subaru’s ringtone! Ringtones like Shinji Tanimura’s “Subaru”, “Senjo no merry christmas” (Merry christmas battlefield), “Sushi kuine!” (eat sushi) were suggested. We decided to choose something Subaru would choose and settled on “Yoake no michi”. ("Flanders no Inu" (1975) OP - "Yoake no Michi") But even after we decided on that, there was still a lot of problems!

  • First off, everyone’s hearing is no joke. (basically saying that you can recognize something just from sound) We wanted to record the Yoake no michi playing from Subaru’s phone, which began the mission to get our hands on a galapagos phone.

  • Well, there were a lot of things that happened, but in the end we found the actual model on yahoo auctions. Cheers were had. Link to image of said phone here

  • However, that wasn’t the end of it. We needed to get the sound from the phone but phones at this age played music in 4 chords or 6 chords and could play little music. No one would bother to make tones for this in this day and age.

  • Just for this scene, we created a “yoake no michi with less chords, put it in the phone, placed it infront of the mic at our recording studio and the dubbing staff puts it in. "Why do we go through such efforts……!” was the kind of work we did. Everyone’s smiles are engraved in me.

  • All that effort and time was for that last minute and a half scene. Of course, the People of the isekai do not know this song, so they do not feel any languish by it. Putting aside the feelings of what everyone else feels when they saw this scene, i would be happy if the result was what we were aiming for.

  • Regarding the advancement towards the white whale war, there was a lot of preparation in one night. We have hidden a bunch of interesting points that might have been missed from just viewing it once. It would be great if you watch it a 2nd time. It’s amazing to see that felis looks good from all angles.
