First thoughts after watching Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 13 (season 2, episode 1)
I watched the Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 13. I remembered in the season 1, the main chracter, Will, who couldn't use the magic in the magic academy, was trying to catch up with his childhood friend, Elfie. And in the last episode, Will and 5 other characters had an accident in a dungeon but they were able to defeat a strong monster by using his sword consuming Sion's magic. That's basically what I remembered.

First thoughts after watching Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 14
I am a light novel reader for this series and this note includes a spoiler. I watched the Classroom of the Elite, COTE, season 4, episode 14. It started not from Ayanokoji, but from Kiriyama's PoV. Koenji was 2nd place, close to the Nagumo's group, and Kiriyama was sure that Nagumo and he were the only people who could stop Koenji. So 10 or more people in the 3rd years students were trying to follow, negotiate, and get them in the middle of Koenji's way. I don't remember exactly how many details the LN included, but I felt it's not as detailed as anime, so animators really liked Koenji. He was extraordinary, for sure. He can climb up a cliff just by jumps, he slept but only for a short amount of time, because his REM sleep cycle was, what was that? shorter than others? And then, he wasn't scared on the narrow cliff pathway at all while others did. In the first place, the island isn't really a good place for an exam considering how dangerous it is.

First thoughts after watching Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 15
I am a light novel reader for this series and this note includes a spoiler. I watched the Classroom of the Elite, COTE, season 4, episode 15. This was actually great episode to see our girl Sakayanagi made it a lot the leaders in the 2nd year did pretty well. In the last episode, I thought 2nd years grade didn't do pretty well like Sakayanagi in the exam, but I forgot she spent time to help Ayanokoji and also Ichino sent out of control so kinda makes sense, it might make sense?

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 11
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 11. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. So, in the previous episode, Ram figured out Subaru was not who he used to be. He was trying to attack her to hide it, but Emilia was there too, and she put him into an ice cage in the same room. Then he confessed he lost his memory. Ram didn't believe him, or was even angry with him. It's because he was the only one who remembers Rem, so if nobody remembered her sister, she was upset. And she tried to attack him, but Emilia was trying to save him. Ram pushed her to the side and attacked him, then he shut out his mind, so he became another Subaru. The question I had was Ram said something about Rem, and asked him about what happened to Rem. I felt it was something wrong to Rem in the spirit room, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 10
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 10. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. Subaru was surprised that Meili was dead on the floor and he obviously killed her, but he didn't remember what happened. So he hid her under a podium and left the room. Then Emilia came to him and worried about him and he wondered how kind she was to him. He was basically shut-in who couldn't do anything before coming to the world, so no wonder. Then Ram came to them, and she asked them to go to the archive where Baeko was there.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 9
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 9. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. This episode was the best one in the season 4. So we figured out who was the main heroine. Patrasche. Period. Subaru went outside of the tower, and faced a sand worm. I think this was owned by Meili. Right before he was eaten, it was killed by Shaula's magics. I thought she would attack him next, but instead, he fell down into the quicksand. He didn't even see her at all.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 8
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 8. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. This note includes a spoiler. This episode was the best one in the season 4. At first, Subaru lost his memory, and talked to Emilia and Beako about it. Then he also met other people and was surprised by that fact. Julius was so upset about it and he couldn't even introduce himself to Subaru. Ram didn't believe about that fact and asked him in a different place. She was so upset and sad at the same time. I don't know how Ram felt about Rem, but at least Subaru was the only one who knew Rem before she went to sleep. So, that means nobody in the world knew her anymore. Then he and Julius introduced about themselves. Also, Foxidna introduced herself to other people, though at least Emilia noticed she was a spirit. I guessed it was because she contracted with a spirit, Pack. Ram was surprised, though.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero season 4 episode 7
I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 7. I remember the story for season 2 and 3 only a little, but don't remember the details of each character that much. I was wondering what this subtitle was about, and this turned out to be an episode with a cliffhanger. At first, Subaru talked to Julius and Julius decided to watch over Echidna, or Foxidna. Then Subaru went back to a room with Emilia, Ram, Beako, Meili, and Shaula, and then planned to talk about the fight. But then he was hungry so they started having a meal. Apparently, Beako and Shaula don't need to eat food at all. Also Beako held Subaru's hand but she blushed because that was from her anxiety, and that childishness was so cute.
