Jagd84 said: You heard wrong he said "Ai" not daisuki. There different words for love in Japanese. He has no romance feelings for twins at all. The point is that he like them more then friends less than lovers. Not sure how you heard that, but I've rewatched both scenes. It's "daisuki", which is more appropriate when talking about familiar "love". It would make even less sense if he said "ai". "Ai" is usually a deep love that japanese people rarely use to express themselves. If you use "ai" instead of "suki" it has a much stronger implication, it's not something to be said lightly. Read this for more details about the use of "ai" and "koi". http://japanese.about.com/od/japanesecultur1/a/The-Japanese-Words-For-Love.htm |

It gets even more confusing for us non-native speakers who aren't used to the contexts they are used in. Glad I was able to clarify it! |
| There's a lot to like in this episode, but I just couldn't get fully immersed in it because I just can't relate to Subaru in the least. The last scene, for example, was supposed to be powerful and yet I felt nothing because there's just no reason to see him have such feelings for the one who literally killed him brutally a bunch of times. The thing about him not being able to talk about his "revive by death" was quite intriguing, though. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| They only killed him twice and wasn't even intentionally brutal. That's just way a ball and chain would leave it's impact. It's not fundamental difference getting chopped in half be a sword or axe. More importantly their reasons which never considered until now, but he knows people treated well wouldn't attack him without due cause. |
awditty said: my first real problem with this anime - they did not set up the general hatred in this world for this witch & the smell well enough for me. It's been there so they've been working it in from ep1 with Emilia using Satella as her name. Kenbu said: murder Subaru over petty suspicions even though he has done nothing to confirm them I don't see why need to have done yet. They implying that Witch of Envy and anything relating her is taboo and gradually giving us more info about her in every epiosde. We are definitely going get more information about her in next couple now that connection between her and Subaru has be realized. |
| I've been watching this show and finding it pretty good, though not at all as amazing as seemingly the whole world is. But this episode right now, oh man... outstanding! |
| Man this episode.... The best so far this season!!! I just... the despair, lots of Betty and Subaru bonding, that nightmare, Rem dying and dat epic suicide, I felt goosebumps. Subaru is one courageous person if not one of the bravest anime characters ever! props... |

Kenbu said: murder Subaru over petty suspicions even though he has done nothing to confirm them 1.It was made perfectly clear that the name Satella and subsequently the witch is a big taboo when Emilia treated Subaru harshly and the crowd reaction in episode 2. Plus Ram was pretty clear on not talking about the witch from the story book back in episode 6. So yes there has been adequate build up and foreshadowing. 2.Yes Ram acted on pure emotion after her sister was dead after Subaru was acting suspicious...it's almost like she reacted like any human would *gasp*. |

iRels said: SuperKirei said: Emilia is the biggest Mary Sue in anime. She just has to be flawless and get along perfectly with everyone - even when the rest of the house is turning on each other. Subaru is still an annoying Okabe ripoff, and those maids do a complete character 180 They never had any emotions. Now they're screaming lunatics and trying to kill people because "they might know something" *Narrows eyes* "A Mary Sue for female characters, and Gary Stu, Marty Stu or Larry Stu for male characters, is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert or wish-fulfillment." She's simply pure-hearted. Perfect? She's a well-taught noble. You're doing this just for the sake of doing, right? Emilia isn't 'low-rank', nor is she saving anyone through 'unrealistic' abilities. She died in one loop, and almost died in another. What 'wish' would that be fulfilling? I don't even... Subaru isn't Okabe. Okabe doesn't practices exercises and plays games, does he? He's a mad scientist. He's also delusional. Subaru was never. The maids have emotions, but were taught not to show it. Why would they? They're SERVANTS. They're not supposed to disturb the residents. They're not supposed to start pointless conversations and laugh. It's Subaru that is. Why do people start conversations with other people? Because they want to get something out of it - they want to be SERVED. Those maids were well-taught, it's this simple. Even so, with Subaru's insistence, they started interacting with him more than they normally would... Anyway. You must not have seen many anime if that's your understanding of how Emilia isn't Mary Sue. What anime do you watch? Bleach? She is a Mary Sue. To deny it because she died in an alternate timeline is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I don't care if they're servants, that was their character until now. By your logic, it's impossible for anyone to ever act out of character. |

| This is seriously grating on my nerves now. It's dragging so much and Subaru's reaction is just... uuurgh.. dude's getting more & more annoying each episode. I'm cutting half my score for this anime -___- yeah, it's that bad. What a waste of potential. |

smoct_ai said: So you admit the possibility that rem hated him and went out to go to him and kill him in his sleep, but only found him to have already been dead. If you admit the possibility, you can not deduce that Rem failed to smell it and did not hate him in the 1st loop from the fact that Subaru was kiiled by the curse. In other words, your reasoning that Subaru not being killed by Rem proves Rem not hating him in the 1st loop, this reasoning is plainly wrong. Not sure what you're trying get at her. All your listing that are on same lines of speculation how Emilia could have killed Subaru back in loot house over the misunderstanding of insignia theft had Elsa not shown up. Point is there not enough information and chances are too low given factors that lead to his death in other loops are either minor or ambiguous. The fact is that curse what killed him directly just as did Rem. Anything is coming out from your ass. |
Koyomo said: How is Emilia a Mary Sue? At this point dude just seems to be trolling. Honestly, if Emilia was a Mary Sue, she wouldn't have been losing in her fight against Elsa. Dude doesn't seem to remember that it was Reinhardt that saved their arses at the last minute. If there's any Mary Sue in this show, it's Reinhardt that's closest to the definition, according to what I've heard from WN readers. |
| Like the re: zero forums on mal are a couple of people actually talking about the current episode and the rest are spoilers or shitposters. This along with Boku hero 7 and koutestu no kanebari episode 4 are some of the most impressive episodes of anime I've seen in a long time. I don't think subaru is a retard but he really should have asked beatrice more about the jealous witch. |

This was fun to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5OgKRe_It0 --- About the episode, it really made me glad to see most of the scenes were kept intact from the source material. The feelings I had were felt yet again. Fantastic adaptation so far! |

So this picture was true after all? This show always surpass my expectations ! |
Yes this is official light novel art and it's from the third arc. We will see that scene including the character :) This only gives a really really small taste but things get disturbing on a really crazy scale. |

Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| Probably best episode this far. Soundtrack is the best part, looks like white fox start taking this series seriously. Story improved far from before, yet still confusing. But i like that. It made more mystery than before. The main character certainly as dumb as always. But at least he reduce the cringe. Then he came back annoying when he decided to suicide from the cliff! Looks like he can only be either annoying or scared. Well, the soundtrack itself deserve 10/10 from me. Only would like to see a more clever character from this series. |
| some fail from this episode -rem fall only by a little push at the first one mnute -subaru ran from the exploding room is too easy -stupid how he try to touch rem soon as he enter the room -the end dialogue was too long and cringe -the jump at the end is lol. So he flying? I know its not important, yet it still disturb me that white fox is too lazy to made a more realistic scene there. |
| WHAT KIND OF MINDFUCKERY IS THIS?!! It feels like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni again ;____ ; #FeelsBadMan This episode was great!!!! HNGGGGG!! It's nice to binge watch this animu lol |

By your logic, it's impossible for anyone to ever act out of character. Emilia isn't perfect. She's lacking in many areas. (You're making me repeat... Sigh.) ALL that she is, is JUSTIFIABLE. She's a rich noble (was taught well, meaning not ordinary). Not only but is a half-elf. If you've read enough fiction about elves you'd know that they're told to be more educated than humans; prouder of themselves by nature... She's serene, composed etc... She's pure-hearted, which is even shown by her apperance... White. Color of purity and peace. "To deny it because she died in an alternate timeline is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard." Then you're pretty dumb. Because I'm sure that I've said more than that. But you didn't wanna see, huh? Why's it? Beyond your comprehension? I should think not... She dying means she's losing. Someone perfect doesn't loses like this. If that definition of Mary Sue is correct, she doesn't fits. Again, her background justifies how 'perfect' you see her as. Oh she's a strong magician, too. Because elves. How unrealistic was it for her to hold Elsa back? It wasn't. Reason was already given. She even had help from the spirit. She's not saving anyone. "I don't care if they're servants, that was their character until now." Don't care what? It answers why they behave PROFESSIONALLY. "By your logic, it's impossible for anyone to ever act out of character." What? That's not my 'logic'. They had no reason to start befriending Subaru. Why'd they do that? And much of what they shown might not even be their character, but their personality... ("If personality is your mind, character is your soul. Source: http://theydiffer.com/difference-between-personality-and-character/") They might actually be affable, joyful etc... But don't find themselves allowed to show it to others. Because? Again, their job. They're no ordinary maids. They're serving important people. Thus they keep neutral behavior near residents. (Still, they've taken liberties of making fun of Subaru, if you remember...) They're not cold. Just not particularly motivated. It was also told that they had an unfortunate, painful past... This would darken one's personality. you know, you'er some kind of an idiot. |

| Okay now is time to make a new theory. First loop : Both Rem and Subaru die from mana drain. Second loop : Rem dies from mana drain, Ram noticed that and automatically attacked Subaru when she saw him outside of his room. Third loop : Subaru gets out from the mansion and gets more suspicious, this is why Rem killed him. Rem dying from mana drain afterwards, however, remains unknown. Fourth loop : Subaru didn't do something he did the first two loops which is why he didn't die from mana drain. However, Rem repeated the same error. |
| 15 edgy ppl on this poll lmfao. Well this isnt new. On topic: Im guessing this witch has something to do with all this time loop. Maybe its saving him and its the one that brought him into this world to fix or do something. Hopefully we can get past this arc, while enjoyable i do enjoy progression. |

| Subaru's character is getting less bearable with each episode (I'd much rather him act like he did for most of this episode rather than his usual attitude, it got old really fast... ), but other than that this continues to be pretty good. |

| Why Subaru smells like the witch everyone talks about? I guess there's a lot more to come, but I am afraid 12 episodes won't be enough... |

_Yato_God said: Curse and mana drain are entirely different things. Mana drain is what Beatrice used at Subaru, curse is the doing of a witch/shaman that is supposed to be in the village where Subaru gets bitten by the dog. And that dog bite is the cause of Subaru getting cursed and thus the reason why he died in first loop. Yeah I just mistaken both. xD |

I think you're referring to future events. |
FappaMay 18, 2016 2:31 PM
Probably YatoGod's fault. He didn't put the spoiler tags for future events. That's why he knew it. And seriously, stop bringing up the source material (@ all) to explain or excuse the logic and events of this series. We have enough viewers, that are able to logically explain them with that, what we've seen so far. If they just want to rant on the series without bringing up any arguments or very flawed ones, just ignore them. Else we could up with a disastrous spoiler. And if it's shown later on, just ignore them as well. The series isn't even half way through. |

Of what I've been posting around the net, I've been trying to clear up misconceptions people have had with stuff we've seen so fr, but some people are just being too bullheaded to actually listen and continue to go around stirring up crap with their logic simply because they get off to people trying to correct them only to become butthurt later on down the chain. And I've read the translated manga so far as well as the summaries of the arcs all the way up to arc 6. This is really only just the beginning and people are already trying their damnedest to kill this show just because it rubs them the wrong way. |
| @Sometimes791 Oops sorry for that I will edit it with the spoiler tag now. Didn't realised I was saying it ahead of time. But thought most people would have figured it by now about the curse. Nvm mod already edited it. |
