Is there word on if it's still White Fox? I remember speculation about it going to another studio.

It's still White Fox which is great news. The 2nd season took a bit of an animation dip, but they had both a hectic schedule and covid interferring so I don't hold it against them.

They also had Studio Bind poaching a rather large amount of their talented staff. Hopefully they've found some good replacements.

well that does not bode well. re:zero was already pretty awkward in its action sequences (my rule of thumb is the shorter a re:zero action sequence is the better it is, which is why the white whale fight kinda blows), hopefully it isn't too much of an issue

First book of arc 6 just arrived in the mail so IMO I think it'd be good for them to sit on it a while.

Does the novel only material have tighter resolutions on the arcs? The anime felt like despite having a time loop setup, major problems got resolved mostly by randomly discovering a new powerful resource which immediately makes things almost trivial, rather than much of anything else. It could be that the adaptation missed including setup for later payoffs, i guess. Also, i'm not sure our protagonist was intended to be written as being incredibly dense, but conversations like this one  i want to make a deal with you. Here are the benefits of it for you why are you telling me what i would get out of the deal???Make it really hard to read him any other way. I like comedy stories focused on a dumb guy fumbling his way through fantastical situations (I love NSM), but tonally it feels like it's trying to be taken seriously.

As with most fantasy LN genre writing Nagatsuki goes on  of seemingly inconsequential worldbuilding that in the interest of pacing gets snipped for the adaptation, but that turn out to in some way foreshadow or contextualize later events. Like just going by the anime you can tell Reinhard is supposed to be some kind of badass, but iirc by this point in the novels it's been well-established he's a loving superman even among the historically renowned inheritors of the Sword Saint title, and if you connect the dots, with it the implication that the Archbishops have only been able to instigate the various incidents so far thanks to their prophetic Gospels guiding them around him.Subaru scenes are also heavy in internal, quasi-stream of consciousness monologuing plus he's often an unreliable narrator when confused or stressed, which just doesn't translate too well to animation despite White Fox's admirable efforts. For a watcher it'd seem silly that Subaru would still distrust Rem after she loving dies for him when he gets captured by the Cult, but a lot of little things she's done or said up to that point in the arc add up to her currently following Subaru on Roswaal's orders (which turns out, is entirely correct), so combined with his fraying psyche he doesn't know what exactly to make of her until he finally completely breaks down and reaches out in desperation, which she reciprocates by laying down exactly how and why she's got the world's biggest crush on him.

I don’t know. I got the opposite feeling, particularly with the White Whale and Witch Cult arcs where the victory really came from new information allowing Subaru to create the coalitions necessary to fight them plus learn their movements to get the drop or manipulate them.

Subaru has a lot of poo poo qualities, but he genuinely wants and tries to be a better person for the sake of his loved ones. And it doesn't take much to become one of his loved ones because he's a very lonely boy who really loving hates himself. Show any amount of trust or confidence in him and he'll literally die for you. Which is also a character flaw in its own right! But it does make you want to see this dense boy learn to value himself in a healthy way. He's just trying so hard.

Subaru internal monologuing is probably the most important thing that is (unavoidably) missing from the anime adaptations. I've actually only read the WN through the end of Arc 4, but part of its impact is dependent on being inside Subaru's head the whole time. The anime still did a great job of adapting it, but reading the WN was still a very different experience.

with his outlash at Emilia at the beginning of that story arc, i feel Subaru mentally was at an all-time low, and made a lot of mistakes because of that.

In the moment in the anime, Subaru having the mineral rights to trade on the successful alliance pass comes from being completely open with Rem and the two having some off-screen strategic planning rather than him more or less charging in headfirst. With a bit of hindsight, it seems rather likely Roswaal foresaw the need for the trade in his Gospel and instructed Rem not to discuss them until a certain circumstance came up. The original writing was even clearer earlier on that Rem was acting on Roswaal's orders, regardless of how much she likes Subaru - for example, instead of making a case to her on why he should be allowed to assist Emilia at the candidacy ceremony, Subaru just slips out and Rem's a bit annoyed that he'd try to do it secretly because she was already told to by Roswaal to help him get there. His intervention's also a bit different, because it's apparent that Roswaal and Puck set him up to show off to the room how much power Emilia had at her disposal and still wanted to go about the selection in a fair manner rather than force anybody to accept her. So while it is convenient for Subaru to be able to bargain with those, it was at least logically consistent with other portrayals of Roswaal's planning to that point.

The mineral rights were a bit convenient, but work out in the context of foreshadowing how Roswaal was somehow anticipating the successful loops.

Well Roswaal manipulated the first three arcs and the villains of the first two were acting on his orders.
