LOL Subaru wants to run with Rem, and she reject it more or less. And he tell his "bad self" completely. The episode was like Subaru is now forever alone. memes should be out soon. Couldn't think of better way to descirbe it xDDD |
| Ok, so for real, does anyone know that insert song during rem's scene, it's fucking lit |
| So I was going into this episode with a completely different mindset of what was going to happen (More action and suffering) and I had hyped myself this entire past week because of the Light Novel readers saying this was an important episode and how they were advertising this in Japan and adding 1 Min and 30 Seconds to the episode. Let me just say that was one of the most powerful dialogue heavy episodes of any anime I have ever seen. I actually think this was quite amazing and it fit perfectly. I didn't want Subaru to keep re-doing this loop and screwing up due to his character's flaws. What I got was some of the most heavy feeling dialogue scenes in a long time with an amazing OST track and amazing animation. It was making me tear up at parts and it was like being in a boxing match where I was constantly getting pummeled but never knocked out. Subaru admitting all of his flaws was flat out amazing and extremely unique in any anime and I felt heavy heavy sympathy for the guy. For all of his stupid actions and cringe-worthy lines he's had these past 6 episodes I think this episode just redeem's everything, it really is starting from Zero for Subaru (and Rem). 10/10, for a dialogue heavy episode they captured Subaru and Rem's feelings perfectly with an amazing OST to boot and of course their always great animation. The voice acting was on par as well, great great episode that is worth the hype. |
"I thought this was a thread where people with unpopular opinions seek validation. Am I wrong?" "That's pretty much the entirety of MAL forums tbh." The most true statement on this damn site. ^ |
Langley_Lu said: Yes, "ga suki da" more like "favorate", but it still not love, if he really want to say "I love Emlia", he should say "a i shi te lu”οΌ it is hard to explain because culture different. "ga suki da"can use in many place, like your favorate food, sport and many thing, but when you want to said "real love" to one person, you should say "a i shi te lu" Ah makes sense. Thanks for the explanation :) ! |

Damn fine episode. agreed like how do you feel ok just flatout rejecting her after wanting to run away with her and make her take care of him. πͺ |
| Well that was some godly voice acting if I ever saw it. Can't imagine what it must've been like to record all that I can't help but feel like most people would fall in love with Rem more than linger over Emilia after a conversation like that but oh well One of the best dialogues I've seen in anime really |

SoraSenpai said: The episode was a Masterpiece. The voice acting was some of the best I have ever heard, add in FANTASTIC animation and beautiful scenes it truly was a work of Art. I totally agree. And this is only the second time I can say I just watched a Masterpiece episode of anime. |

| Will there be more dark episodes this season? I don't want any spoilers, I just want to know if there will be more suffering |
| Good episode - I was getting tired of Subaru's crap, and it seems like this is going to be a turning point. Will wait to see how Subaru's character pans out before committing to upgrading my score of the series. On a personal note, poor best girl - by which I mean Batelgeuse! Here's hoping that Emilia will finally develop a personality since the SS Rem seems to be taking on water. |
| Too dark man. I hope in next episode subaru able to do something plz. |
| Of course he choose Emilia over Rem, gotta go with the cliche pairing. :] |
| I have to admit that it makes me awfully sad that my favorite ship has sunk, haha.. *wipes tears* Flat out rejection.. But this was truly an emotionally powerful episode with a lot of breathtakingly inspirational dialogue. An episode dedicated to the powerful dialogue between Rem & Subaru but it was just beautiful and excellent. This is going to be an unforgettable episode for me. *laughs while wiping more tears* xDD Puck was awesome. Betelgeuse deserves to suffer more than that. |
| Yes! Yes! Yes! It finally happened. Subaru redemption is on track., All I wanted was the old Subaru back and I think I'm finally getting it. It's been too long, Way too long since I smiled at an episode of Re:Zero, Seeing Subaru laugh after a long time was great. Very bittersweet episode, Started out very melancholic but towards the end it became really sweet. Rem was wonderful this episode, I am so glad that she was able to motivate Subaru. Regarding Subaru's outburst I'm glad that he finally realized and became aware of what he needs to do, His outburst represents what he thinks of himself, How much regard he has for himself. The weird thing is that even though everything he talked about was completely self-centered he does not value himself. In fact when he said "I have no strength but I want it all" "I have no knowledge but I all I do is dream" "There's nothing I can do, But I still struggle in vain" Surprisingly those are the qualities of someone you call a 'Hero' (Maybe not the first two but the third one definitely), Yet he's ashamed of that. I'm glad Subaru was finally able to gain back his esteem. I can finally look forward to something good now. Also Puck for MVP XD |

Kuuderex100 said: Wow I could not stand so much bs in just one episode. It pretty much consisted on Subaru crying and shouting and talking nonsense. Like 80% of the series. Lol at people pretending this was a masterpiece of a dialogue or something, we have already seen Subaru self-deprecating, we have already seen Rem showing him that he loves him and we have already seen him saying that he will "save Emilia". Sure this time is probably for real, because they dedicated an entire episode to it and decided to make a Title Drop in it, not because the development of Subaru was great or anything. |
| This episode is one of the reasons this is probably the best deconstruction of the reincarnation/new world genre out there. I've read tons of web novels and light novels where far too often does the protagonist get sent to another world and becomes OP in every category. Even if they have a struggle in the beginning, like Tate no Yuusha or Arifureta, they quickly overcome it with their own ridiculously rising strength and usually spend the rest of the time living the good life. They get a harem, actually have relationships with them (most web novel MC's aren't oblivious or pussies when it comes to women), save the world, and live the good life. Re:Zero is what would happen if a real person got sent to a fantasy world and not become OP. Subaru isn't inherently smart or powerful, he can only do what he can. But in a world he knows nothing about, where everything is beyond the bounds of his old world, he will inevitably run into problems. And just because he's the main character doesn't mean help or strength will magically come to him. He has to work and persevere to accomplish goals which in other series with OP MC's would be easy tasks. It's nice that this series is showing that despite it being another world, it's still real life. If you didn't do anything in your previous world, you probably won't be able to do anything in a new one either. The only choice is to change, and changing isn't easy. You have to go through a lot to finally learn something and change yourself, which is the most important thing Subaru needs to do right now. And this episode forced him to take a big step forwards. |
| No character development they said. It's torture porn they said. Not leading anywhere they said! Haters got BTFO'd. They continue to get BTFO'd for rest of season and even harder at season 2. XD There is folks, this what Re: Zero is a Zero to Hero story. What a wonderful episode with some of best written dialogue I've seen in LN/WN. |

| Now this episode has really cemented it for me on the fact that Rem is the best girl. The episode was really superb until Subaru has sunk the ship. -_- Oh well. |

| Not to say Subaru's choice was a wrong one (Choosing Emilia over Rem) but I have no idea why he made the choice he did. Emilia has done almost nothing for Subaru in comparison to Rem. Rem has literally died for him twice and what has Emilia done? Save him from a few thugs and let him rest on her lap? I mean sure, whatever man. I'm just glad he's back to his happy self :c. |

| Puck is so OP. One of the best episode thanks to Rem. Dammit Subaru, why can't you realize who the best girl really is. Hopefully after this Subaru stop being pathetic. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Noumu said: Of course he choose Emilia over Rem, gotta go with the cliche pairing. :] Yeah why 18 episodes in I'm still wondering why Sadbaru likes Emilia so gotdang much. |
| I can't believe I cried xD I hope it will be fine this time to the next reset point, seriously, if not it will juste erase this conversation. And HECK YES! we were absolutely right about Pack and his contract! |
| Amazing episode and I'm a Rem shipper. This episode was great for both of their development and people are clearly not realizing what is going on and just wearing their shipper goggles. This is a masterpiece, this episode is a 5/5 this series is a 10/10. If you think otherwise that's fine, but don't go forcing your condescending opinion on others. This was an amazing episode. |

So much this, I mean Subaru may have his good reasons to like Emilia more than Rem and that's ok but taking into account that the series is 99% centered on Subaru and he hasn't ever gone into a rant about why he likes Emilia it just bugs me. |
ryukan said: Why no one cares about Betelgeuse? He literally died lmao and he said the ordeal was complete. What does that even mean? For now people are focused on the conversation between Rem and Subaru. But they will get back to this. As for Betelgeuse, something made him realize that he actually succeed with the ordeal. He said that when he was freezing to death with giant Puck starting to destroy the world. Is their (the Witch's cult) ordeal to destroy the world (finish what the Witch started but failed)? Or is it related to Emilia being dead? Whatever it is, I'm certain we will learn about it in the next episodes. |

| Wow I bet I am wasting my life just like Subaru and do some things for the same reason |
| puck went badass... Rem then become awesome as she can be |

| It's starting to feel like Subaru only likes Emilia because of her role as heroine. Even in the afterwards of volume 1, the author says something along the lines of, "aren't silver haired heroines the best?". Really feels like the author is fulfilling his own desires instead of paying attention to the feelings of the characters. I hate to sound like a Rem shipper but who wouldn't choose Rem after an exchange like that? Well, at least the author had the decency to end the ship so the audience wouldn't be mislead in the future along with Rem. Don't get me wrong, I'm on Emilias side but I just hope that Subaru would have a more genuine reason for going after her besides the whole "she saved me when I first got here". Good will is not a good reason to fall for someone. Rem has been a companion to Subaru who's stuck with him through thick and thin, but mostly thin. To have someone pour their heart out for him and then to reject them just does not feel like the realistic choice. |
