Better avoid, there are a lot more spoilers floating around than you'd imagine ^^
*SPOILERS*
Though I wonder why Emilia was fine at the beginning of this run. It can't just be that she became more concerned about Subaru, she used to wake up traumatised. Garfiel also looked surprisingly chill, almost as if there was no scent. Did he just cut Subaru some slack because he acted more human or has Dona done something? Anyways Subaru has a suicide weapon now, yay! Poor Petra xD

Yes, but I think because Subaru showed her this side, she kinda shook off the anxiety, maybe even forgot it altogether. It also didn't help that Subaru was "I'll do it for you!". This is not how you fight inner demons...

I think he is still concerned with the smell, he even mentions it when he escorts Subaru later that day. Notice that the "witches smell" is a kind of trope in the series - makes many hostile towards Subaru since the start. Should I remind you that Rem murdered him a few times because of that. And now she is his sweetheart  . We still don't know Garf's connection to all this (his "secret"). But I already explained that I think he was mostly concerned with Subaru's smirkness. I think Garfiel takes his "guardian" role seriously and he doesn't like the fact that some outsider seems to have so much knowledge about this place.

Let's not forget the purpose/nature of the sanctuary and the trials. The Sanctuary's barriers come down once the trial is complete i.e once Echidna's objective is complete. Trials must just serve as finding a suitable host for ze witch.

I don't remember hearing anything about that or why it only affects beastmen. Does that mean that Dona was effectively keeping them hostages till someone passed all trials?

No spoilers - all my thoughts. Honestly think the trial is to find an individual who is suitable to be a witch's host. Accepting the truth seems to be critical for Echidna hence why Subaru is in the limelight.

Saw some titles from next season. Seems Danmachi's getting another sequel, really unsure after the last one though. Very interested in Kimetsu no Yaiba movie, that's a given. Would also be looking forward to Haykiuu, but haven't watched any of it yet.

Holy ****! I was right on the money with my prediction. I never imagined I'd get confirmation this soon though. And I also had one concern with regards to that because there was one episode where something contradictory happened. I'll elaborate for those who want to read.
*mild Re:Zero spoilers*
Basically, Emilia is closely connected to Satella, the witch of envy. My first assumption was that the witch was an alter ego sealed or suppressed inside her, but it might just be that they are distinct beings and Satella only views Emilia as a vessel. The thing that I found contradictory to that is how the power of the witch "misfired" once and, instead of affecting Subaru, it made Emilia die in his hands in season 1. Why would that happen if she's the advent of the witch?
Though I have to admit, I might be completely wrong. The anime seems to be good at twisting things towards the unexpected. Like the dearest wish of Beatrice, which following the episode before this one I thought would be something else. Or what Roswaal is doing, didn't think the reason he was supporting Emilia was to get her emotionally unstable and pursue the witch. Subaru having to deal with all this.. no wonder he's losing it.
*end spoilers*
Otherwise, this season's been a blast. I was concerned it wouldn't live up to the expectations, but it has with flying colors. Most likely anime of the year, can't think of any other topping this one.

Yeah but something bugs me with Subu's reactions. I tried to defend him before but someone who has dealt with so much s*it should be a bit manlier about it. Stop with the bowling and face-twisting already.
Spoiler
Only more towards the end of this episode he starts to be more like he should: "oh'boy, here we go again". He doesn't even give a donk about the state he is in, full off munchy holes and all that.
Btw I'm still wondering how much Roswall does exactly know about Subaru's "ability". Maybe he is related to Echinda so he has the knowledge...
But I really hope Subaru finally gets the "good route". This arc is getting a bit tedious with all of Subaru's fails already. I'm kinda getting sorry for so much in-between stuff he looses each time (getting friends with Otto, standing up to Garf, his interactions with Frederica or Petra etc)

...That went well 
Re:Zero spoilers
At first I thought that was Satella in Emilia's body but.. maybe that's how Emilia looks when she's really lost her marbles. Abandonment issues does not begin to cover it. I don't think she's sealed inside Emilia, if anything Satella follows Subaru's actions. There's an interesting theory that Satella is Emilia's future self that lost it after Subaru died though I don't believe that.
Poor Beatrice, both her and Betelgeuse seemed to be starved for love. Funny in retrospect to notice the butterfly symbols on her.
Subaru's decision to run towards the location of a second enemy with Elsa at their backs. Big brain. But.. if Beatrice could use offensive spells, why did she not attempt to defeat her in the mansion where she was stronger?
Roswaal doesn't give a snow ^^ Killing people like it's nothing because the timeline will reset, ruthless. Wonder how Subaru will handle the next time, knowing that Roswaal intended to drive Emilia into a corner.

I don't get why Roswaal is being so aprehensive. He already told everyone what his wish was in S1. To kill the dragon of the kingdom (the bugger that chooses the next monarch) - no idea how that's even related to any of this going down could be that everything has changed since then.

I'm wondering if the snow was Roswaal's way of saying, don't leave the sanctuary next time.
Also possible that the book told him to do that. Time for the trials I guess.

I hope they will give us more answers towards the end. This is getting pretty confusing
Spoilers
- why Elsa and that Mabeast user are conveniently always there when Subaru tries to do something around the mansion? It would seem that they are targeting the mansion and its surroundings even before Subaru restarts and something ticks them off each time no matter what he does (and by doing "something", or anything at all, he triggers this chain of events). This probably goes way back as the mabeast user was already plotting since the dog mabeast incident it seems. Btw why is Elsa even running freely to begin with, she was arrested by that Knight in S1 if I recall?
- Beako's behaviour is confusing. She "protects" the mansion, but at the same time wants to die and seems she doesn't give an f about what Elsa is doing, well at least if it's not related to Subaru. That would suggest she changed her attitude towards him (in season 1 she teleported him cus she didn't want participate in his ordeals). Also she's a pretty weak spirit if she's killed/suppressed by Elsa each time (the assassin is potent yes, but a 400 year old spirit should be more resourceful)
- what the f*ck is Puck doing all this time? Convenient plot device, or there's an actual reason?
I think we, or it's simply me that is missing some details here. Maybe there are forces at work that are either hinted, but I didn't connect the dots yet, or are not yet revealed. The series has become a tad confusing: too many parties that seem to know too much. In season 1 it was easier to follow because Subaru's ability was seemingly unknown to anyone. Now it seems a few people actually have some connections to his power. This season is confusing for me because each timeline seems to be so radically different each time and the triggers elude me.

I enjoy it. It actually has a plot. There was only one rather "direct" scene with the Lamia when she wanted to f*ck him, rest are the good doctor palpating his patients and the ladies making lewd noises in return.
Also the series is rule34 & furry playground cus there are a lot of custom furry models in the backgrounds.
