So it is one of the twins after all. But chains? I'm not sure if the 2nd time he was killed it was with chains though..maybe that was the work of the other twin?

This series' episodes' endings always give me a heart attack lol

There was a sound of chains at the end of the previous episode, so most people assume it was Rem. But what about the 1st loop? Who killed him then? :-)

Oh, a fairy tail that Subaru told was beautiful...

This scene can be interpretated in two ways xD

I liked how this time he decided to be a guest instead and Ram didn't sneeze.
Beatrice was really great this episode, kept throwing Subaru and her attitude is just perfect.
Nice cleanup Puck gave him, almost died lol.

Ram and Rem keep trolling Subaru loving it ^^ Also noticed Ram reacted the same way like Rem when hearing the "oni" word and the story's most likely related to both of them.
So Rem is the killer damn o.O He didn't have much interaction with her this time around but still Subaru remembers... I doubt she would act of her own accord, must be Roswaal's order, wonder what's his reason..

Lol. The funny thing was that Rem was indicated as the killer during the very first timeline of this arc, where Roswaal basically gave her the order.

IIRC Roswaal said to kill him only if he is confirmed to be a threat, which was not the case at that time.

I'm done with this show. I just can't watch another episode of Subaru acting like a complete idiot like he has done in this episode, and the past five. What restriction is there against telling someone "Hey, I have this "Return By Death" ability so I know more about this world than you think I do?" What motives does this guy have so far that does not involve acting like a generic LN protagonist sucked into another world? I don't care about any of this anymore. To episode 18, and Rem's development later on: I'm sorry. I quit.
I'm just confused by the whole concept of scoring by "Writing and characters." If you're not entertained, why should you care?

Nice build up till that ending I must say, really looking forward for the action between them, somewhere I was searching for a possible attacked and could pretty much only think about poison, the dog bite (infection) or an actual murderer being someone from the inside.

Let's see what's next.

Not too surprising that it was her since it was obvious his food was poisoned in some way but dam. That's just depressing as hell, especially how he was brutally murdered in the previous episode after getting to know her better :(

Interesting to note that Rem reacted to Subaru's comments about being a demon, and now Ram about the witch..

Episode 6:
Is good that Subaru don't go to depressed mode even after all the deaths, but instead looks for a solution. I expected something like the sisters or a demons to be the killers, but i think there is something more to it, that will be revealed in the next episode, like the why? Rem is like the submissive type, and Ram the bossy one, i think that relation is very similar to the story of the red and blue ogre. Rem must be controlled or commanded to kill Subaru. And like chekrdnickrs says "Rem reacted to Subaru's comments about being a demon, and now Ram about the witch" must mean something.

So no surprise for who is the executioner, and we get again that interest for the word "oni" from the sisters.
Honestly that time around though, he acted so suspicious at gathering information, and then remaining near the house that the reason to kill him could be different completely, so it's just a confirmation of who the executioner is but not of why it is done.
BTW that cloth stopping the iron ball was completely stupid.

Again a reference towards the "Jealous Witch" Satella.
It's actually Rem that killed Subaru twice now, that would explain why he died in his bed the last time.
Now to find out why.

Well that doesn't look like the monster that attacked Subaru at night, seems like there is a misunderstanding between the mansion and Subaru. Interesting fairy tale, am interested to know the meanings behind them to the main plot.

He reseted.
lol at Betty.
LMAO He finally asked to be a permanent house guest...and to eat and sleep all he wants.
Why everyone looked at Ram this time when she yawns and not when she sneezed from before?
Dat Ogre story.
lol at Emilia worrying about Subaru.
Oh shit! He got attacked.
Oh shit! I knew it was one of the twins. Well, I thought it was Ram originally from her conversation with Roswaal, but the Red and Blue Ogre story made me reconsider.

Rem why I trusted you, you were the chosen one!!! No but seriously this is not cool Subaru has been through two painful deaths because of her. I mean I still prefer Ram over Rem but I suspect the former could be in on it too and it's not like I disliked Rem anyways.
I really hope Subaru gets some character development here, every time he dies no matter how agonizing it was he reverts to his happy-go-lucky attitude and that's not very realistic.

Wow, what a surprise - Rem is a killer... Is it a maximum what author can do for 6 episodes with plot and suspense? Several episodes in a row everyone talk about Ram as cruel and tough one which can't do anything better than Rem, this clown - mage gave a mark to Ram to kill MC, and Rem was called by everyone as kind and gentle person the whole time, ridiculous, and then author just thought: "Hey, how about I just through away everything and will make insane trick instead of following to my own rules? People like bullshit like this, yes? YES?". But still Rem as a killer was second obvious option from two only possible. Author is totally untalented. Skinny and small maid is a killer with big morningstar on chain... Is it Black Lagoon one more time? Another terminator parody, no? Such a masterpiece...

BRUUUUUH, FREAKING KNEW IT. IT WAS EITHER REM OR RAM THEN IT TURNS OUT IT'S FREAKING REM. WHHHHHY? WHAT THE FUCK! WHHHHY!?!?!

Subaru decided to change the pace and became the house guest instead of being the butler. Almost the same thing happened except Subaru's relationship with Rem and Ram changed since he's no longer working as the butler.

Subaru planned to leave the mansion on the fourth day to see who's the killer and yeah it's fucking Rem! Like what the fuck, maaan?

Now finally, Subaru might just break this time loop, if he does... Then the story would advance further...

Just as a continuation of the discussion in episode 5. It does seem like the MC is learning. This is more like it. I don'like it when the MC is too OP from the get go (hello Kirito, Momonga), so as long as Subaru look like he is trying to figure things out, I can put up with his antiques. The more clever he gets with his ability the more I'll like him (I guess that in that sense, him being a bit slow at the beginning gives him lots of room to grow).

I must say that Rem did catch me off guard. She didn't show any hostility when they went shopping in the prev episode so I thought the attacker would be a new character.

Yes, he starts to learn how to use his ability effectively.

As for Rem, it took many of us by surprise. I was suspecting Ram, but not Rem :-)

goddamit i knew it, suspected it from ram's scene in the lord's lap. figured they had a relationship and they were both on board together about subaru being suspicious, and decided to kill him. but none of them would want blood on their hands, so they'd get the sister with (i think?) an inferiority complex to do it. for her dear older sister.

-That Ogre story hit home apparently. Did Rem make Ram look better and it resulted in her getting Roswaal's favor? Is Rem trying to kill Subaru in order to prove her worth or something of that nature or vent out in frustration? She definitely has insecurities regarding her sister.

-Rom didn't want to hear the story about the witch.

-Subaru had a decent plan this time around.

The parallel between Rem and Ram's hair colors and the red and blue ogre story is a subtle nod to the fact that anime character designers routinely take LSD.

So he finally saw the face of his killer and it's one of the twins. She certainly doesn't look like a "best girl" anymore as people love to say. Also Ram was way more suspicious, are they working together after all?

Perhaps an unneeded suggestion from my side, watch the show for what it is trying to convey instead of reducing it into a 'best-girl' contest, something that a majority of the viewers made it out to be.

Oh, I don't reduce it at all. It's just a show famous for the "Emilia vs Rem" discussion, so I presented my thoughts on that topic for now. I actually enjoy this show quite a bit so far and don't let other dictate my opinion on it.

I'm really impressed by Subaru. Staying so positiv despite the fact he died the night before in such a cruel way is just awesome. This time he choose to stay as a guest and not as butler. So these 3 - 4 days proceeded in a different way.

Subaru finally also managed to learn how to read and write.

It's always so thrilling and exciting for me at the end of each episode. But this time was an unbelieveable surprise. So Rem was the one who killed Subaru all that time? I'scared just by the fact that a little girl is attacking with such a giant weapon. I guess there's nobody else than Roswaal who could give her that order. Very curious to see how this will play out.

Subaru is so optimistic after all the hardships he went through, a rare personality. I did not expect Rem to be the one who killed Subaru which suggest that Ram could also have the ability to kill Subaru. Overall, a great episode!
