| OMG that ending with the arm! |
 |
| Could it be that Elsa chick followed them back to the mansion and kills everyone around 5 days after they arrive? :o |
 |
| Ah Shit Here we go again, I was screaming in my mind, dont sleep DONT SLEEP, but gotta restart now |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Was that Lisa on the silhouette? Subaru died again was unexpected incident in the end after his will got sharpened but ended away in shame like that. Its his fate, poor you for not accomplished his second promises. The fifth died, how long i could survived counting his death? Lmao. Okay. Rem and Ram appearance got highly appreciated on this one. Especially with Rem's one million volt tempted smile. Still, their intentions kept blurred off by the way this show had to directed. Like Beti, Rem, and Ram, even Emillia. So, lets just skipped the unnecessary and jump up to another episode. |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Watching Subaru trying to cope with the time loop was entertaining and full of funny scenes and gags, but that ending... I didn't expect him to die in such bloody circumstances. :( I wonder who or what killed him. |
| Woah that ending was brutal |
| I loooooooove the ED Omfg that after credits scene was gnarly. Poor Subaru. Also will they ever address why he isekai-ed here or........ is that just going to be conveniently ignored because he seems pretty unbothered by it aside from a few passing comedic remarks lol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| omg that ending was freaking brutal, I feel bad man |
| Man, vaguely knowing who killed him after the ED kinda hurts.. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| "So it's like none of it ever happened?" Imagine spending times and bonding for almost a week then all those moments and progress are just gone, being Subaru is suffering. Some people misunderstand the scene between Subaru and Beatrice in the beginning, she doesn't know he can reset it's just that Subaru's new checkpoint is a few hours after he first met Beatrice. Subaru attempts to retrace the steps he took in the last loop, but what makes Re:Zero different from other time travel/time loop anime is that doing the same thing each time won't end up at the same place in the end as shown here in this episode when Rem ended up being suspicious of him constantly. Holy shit Roswaal fanservice, completely forgot about this, glad I did forget but now... Get this off my mind!! Subaru learning to read and write the world's language, Re:Zero actually puts in effort in being different and has it's own written language. "My sister is one thing but no one would be happy to see me dress up." "Does my looking the same as my sister inconvenience you somehow?" neat foreshadowing. Rem is pretty sus of Subaru, anybody probably would get pretty suspicious of him. Subaru is really good with kids! We got to see a lot of Rem's side in this loop, I feel that's what makes the RbD mechanic in Re:Zero good, through different loops Subaru can explore different sides of the cast. Rem really thinks of herself as inferior to Ram despite seemingly being better than her in everything. Demonically inspired! More great characterization for Rem, I used to not really like Rem that much but rewatching this made me like her a bit more tbh. That ending... wtf... I remember this gruesome death but that eyeball in the end... |

| The lord of that mansion creeps me out |
  . |
| I don’t think someone from the mansion is killing Subaru but if it is it’s probably the lord or it could be him ordering Rem or Ram to do it for him |
 |
| Why do I have a very bad feeling about this? |
| A wholesome episoed until.. the end that is. Poor Subaru can't have a peaceful episode huh? |
| I felt so bad for Subaru in this episode, his promise with Emilia's date was lost. it's good that he doesn't want to give up, and he can still follow the same plot by doing everything he did previously to get to that point. it was nice to see Rem warm up to Subaru a little, but that's also gone cause that ending got sad and dark. Subaru deserves better. |
| This is getting more interesting. Great episode |
| damn... i thought he was finally able to make it back to his promise to emilia and then the post credit scene happened which will be followed by a new loop i expect |
| He started over again. This time there were slight changes in the past. But man, the ending was crazy. Talk about brutal. Guess he's back to square one now. |
| What in the ever was that after credits, like does Subaru have to constantly suffer like this over and over again holy hell. But i assume it can get worse than this if dying is supposed to be normal for him later on in the story. Although Roswaal still a bit sus and a weirdo at that. |

| I've been indifferent to this anime for the most part so far, but Subaru's deaths are always hilarious. There's probably a montage of them on YouTube. Wonder how long it's going to take him to realise you can't trust anyone, because even the life of a hermit isn't looking too unappealing at this point, and it's not like he has too much reason to be attached to Emilia either, which would be the only legitimate reason to acquaint himself with people in a mansion where he's clearly unsafe. Every time he dies, he rightfully starts contemplating and asking himself questions for all of a single scene, but then drops his guard near immediately after, which isn't going to get him anywhere. |

| This episode throws Subaru into a whirlwind, but is it driven by a well-oiled plot, or teenage angst filled melodrama? And then there's plot holes galore. Rem forgets, via overused trope of convenient amnesia, crucial details about the curse, despite seemingly remembering everything else. This amnesia feels like a failed attempt to create a dramatic reveal for Subaru later. He recklessly and impulsively charges into the mansion despite having died multiple times in similar situations. This lack of strategic thinking stretches believability. The curse's limitations on information sharing are never fully explained, a clear gap in the logic of the curse. Why can Rem warn Subaru about the curse itself, but not the specifics of the attacker? A shoddy writing to be sure. Subaru spends a good chunk of the episode wallowing in self-deprecation. While his situation is tough, this constant whining and self-pity gets tiring. He externalizes all the blame for his predicament on Rem and Emilia, failing to take responsibility for his own actions. Confessing his love to Emilia in the heat of the moment, despite barely knowing her, reeks of teenage impulsiveness rather than genuine affection. The episode prioritizes Subaru's emotional turmoil over a cohesive plot. While his teenage angst is somewhat understandable, they overshadow the actual mystery and create plot conveniences to fuel the drama. Maybe it's possible to look at this episode as showcasing Subaru's lowest point, but his emotional immaturity is a character flaw that is getting impossible to overcome. Future episodes could show him learning from his mistakes and developing a more strategic approach, but with this show’s writing that is unlikely. Episode 5 is a turning point for Subaru, but the heavy emphasis on his emotional outbursts and the convenient plot elements resulted in a disappointing series thus far. Depiction of tiring teenage angst and frustrating immaturity makes this eminently droppable. |
