| This episode was fucking amazing!! Easily the best one I've seen this season. |
Also, I totally love how the anime gives a new shot for Rem in Subaru's flashback, since it was from the LN while they just gives the previously used scenes for the other characters.  Keep it up White Fox! |
 |
| LOL. I can't believe it. Someone waited for the 99th vote and then voted 4 out of 5 at the 100th...lol. |
 *For future reference how good this episode actually had been. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
And then the 100th voter voted 4 out 5. Gg wp. I would have done the same. |
| HOLY COW this episode was so well made, it had legendary feels, i couldnt hold it, my heart was almost destroyed there... so well made, cant wait for the next episode 5/5 |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Best episode so far this anime just keeps impressing might end up being the best this year. |
| This episode was insane. Hardest part is waiting for the new ep every week. |
 I find Rem's refusal to listen to reason, dogmatic pursuit for information and assuredness of betrayal completely charmless, to the point that I'm like this person isn't worth saving. She related that the time the MC and the sisters spent together was all a lie and they were both faking friendship and putting up a facade. They never trusted him from the beginning. Holding his hand while he had a nightmare isn't convincing enough for me to ever get that out of my mind. Someone making an attempt on my life when I've done nothing is garbage. That's grounds for incarceration or to be answered in kind. This kid has been successfully killed three times already. If it were me, I would have never given my life, again, to save these cretins. He's known them for a total of: 20ish days. That's not enough time for me to grow attached to someone that would backstab me three times. In fact, nothing's holding him there. There is no objective after coming into this new world. He could just leave the mansion first day and never look back, damn whatever happens to these people. |

| I have the shivers. This show gives me the shivers, the main character is probably one of the best constructed characters ever, he's realistic, he feels fear, I can't even start to imagine how he was feeling, after dying so many times, after so many brutal deaths, after being murdered by someone you love, not being able to tell anyone because of that sensation, the fear of what would happen. It's not pain, it's not rational, but he feels it, and he runs in despair from all of it. And what is he going to do about it in the end? He thinks about the short yet beautiful times with the people in the mansion, the sad anger in Ram's voice, and decides to embrace the despair he felt til now, and finds once again the resolution to change everything. I love this series, I love its characters, all of them 'til now, it's so perfect... |
| Ruka desu. |
| In first loop he died from the curse. In second loop, he was killed by Rem. In third loop, he was once again killed by Rem, this time on screen. In fourth loop, Rem died from the curse, Ram tried to kill him, but ultimately he killed himself this time. Something doesn't add up here. In second loop, it was Ram who had the motive (jealousy) to attack him as he was closer to Rem this time, yet he remembers the chains which is associated with Rem's morningstar-like weapon. We don't know if anyone died of the curse. If anyone died, it was Ram and motive is vengeance as the surviving sister automatically assumed he is guilty. Third loop doesn't mentions that anyone died from the curse by the time Subaru was attacked. Did anyone visited the town in third loop? |
 |
| Man, White Fox continues to show that they really care and are passionate about this project. They're not cutting any corners, and unlike other shows that might do this, they've cut out the OP and/or ED on multiple occasions just to squeeze in even a few more minutes of content so they don't need to rush or omit things. Keep this up WF, you still have to do this for another several months. I think this episode did a good job of depicting the psychological consequences that Subaru is experiencing due to these repeated deaths. He was pretty much going batshit insane. I thought he wasn't going to go through with the suicide after Beatrice showed up, but it was kind of cool (I feel weird calling suicide cool) that he still went through with it to show his newfound resolve. That sound effect when he landed though........anyway, another amazing episode! |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| HOLY SHIT! This episode was amazing. Definitely my favorite episode so far. |
| Best episode so far, it was intense. |
| There's something I don't get. So was Ram who killed him in this episode? I thought Rem said she didn't let Ram knows, so how did Ram sliced his neck? I mean I get that Rem is the only one around, but when Ram cut Subaru's cheek, he immediately got a flashback about his death. So it was Ram who killed him or not? |

Didn't you hear Rem talk about the witches stench and how it confirms it for her that he has to do something with the Witches Cult and a witch in general? Since the stench seems to get stronger and stronger with every loop the first time he died in episode 4 seemed to be enough for Rem to notice it and kill him in episode 5. |
I laugh so high, cause of it. hahahahahhaahahhaahahaa! |

| They really did a great job in developing Subaru's character, it's one of the most realistic and intense I've seen in a while! Anyway, an incredible episode, for 24 minutes I was glued to the screen! |

| This show keeps getting better and better. This & Kabaneri are by far the best anime out there atm. White Fox doing a stellar job, I expect this will get snapped up for physical release asap. |
| I have mixed feelings about this episode. Although the voice acting and atmosphere of the episode were perfect, I didn't liked the decission of Subaru that much. Even if the maids were conforting him when he was having his nightmares, that doesn't change the fact that they never trusted in him at all during all those days they spend together, putting facades to him and that they would kill him without any remorse or pity only because he has that Witch essence that it's not even his fault (like how Rem did in this episode). If I would were in his place, I wouldn't kill myself in such painful way only to save a person who would lie and assassinate me only for such reason without even bother to hear my words of reasoning, even if they conforted me, who could have been because they received orders and not because they genuinely wanted to do that. But I guess that it's Subaru nature after all. On the other hand, Beatrice was the MVP in this episode. I found her funny in her previous appearences, but this time I liked her a lot. Respecting to the Witch essence thing, I guess that implies that Subaru's time loop ability is something caused by the Witch and not by himself. Interesting... |

VeritasEtLux said: That's I'm sure of. The thing I do not know is who or what is the source of the curse.Really curious where did the source of the curse came from. Probably the village? Since they have to go there to do groceries and if he isn't there, one of the maids would have to be there. Malise said: None that we know of. Subaru obviously didn't went there, and Rem was most likely observing his suspicious actions.Did anyone visited the town in third loop? And as for who killed him and when, I wrote some theory here :-) |

| Basic White Fox. Perfection in every seconds. *smells Steins;Gate key episodes in every element* *sees director's name* Ah, I see. Now all it needs to do is to not rush the last few episodes. |
| Damn DAMN What an episode He Broke and we have a Murder 'Mystery' within another one, huh? And the Witch might be the source of his Power. 6/5. Question tho Did Beatrice really only help him so he doesn't tell puck, or is there another reason? |

Does anybody know for sure if it was Ram who killed him in the second loop? People might have forgotten but Roswaal has a chain on his rightfoot that jingles (seen in ep 4)  (I'm new to BBC code so I hope this picture works). I am aware this might raise more questions than it answers ... but that is the point of this episode is it not? Subaru says it himself "Frankly, there's too much I don't know. But ... I decided to learn more about the things I don't know". Ever since arriving at the mansion getting a date with Emilia has been his only objective. He didn't care to solve the mysteries and challenges facing him. Now that he has something new to fight for and try to figure out I'm sure we will reach the bottom of some mysteries. |
| @Everyone complaining about how happy go lucky Subaru was Subaru realized that he didnt die from an outside threat but instead someone he knows and trusts...NOW it makes sense for him to be scared and paranoid af... So we learned: -Witch called Subaru to this world -Subaru has the "smell" of witch -Witch made something to Ram so Rem hates witch,thats why she kills Subaru -There is also some kind of "weakness curse" that kills someone for some reason every 4th day? This was the best episode so far and worth the build-up in the last 2 episodes...Even if anime ends right now it is AOTS for me easily... Surprised nobody talk about The Subaru Who Leapt Through Time  |

Easy 10/10 umm, you probably don't get it. subaru was at that point very afraid of the maids. for them to hold his hand, at the state he was currently at worse... instead of comfort, the manga readers were instead disturbed by that page. it was supposedly an ironic reception of sorts. |

| Jesus Christ, that was depressing. Then it got super intense. Then it made me hyped. And now it leave me on the edge. Goddamnit, it suck watching show on a weekly basis. It was painful to see him struggle about choosing to die. Especially after he felt that ''witch thing'' crawling to him. Who knew if he would revive again? We know that he will (cause there wouldn't be 25 episodes otherwise), but I can see how it would be unclear to him. Not only that, but our animal instinct prevent us from killing ourself. It was kinda weird to see Beatrice being so willing to protect him. It makes me wonder if she have any ulterior motive. I'm also really curious about that Witch thing. She seem awfully infamous. |

| Gotta give Kobayashi props for his incredible voice acting. The whole cast is fantastic. And the animators props for the art and animation, specially on Subaru's face expressions. Man this episode had me in suspense throughout the whole thing! |
| The first 5 minutes and seeing the always optimistic Subaru completely break down was hard for me to watch, it's really all kinds of messed up. I had a feeling there was going to be a loop that was just the worst and Subaru would end up resetting it himself. I wonder how much more loops he needs to get through this mansion arc, there's still so many questions |
| Great OST, great use of sound effects (like heartbeats etc.) again and the suicide is included. The despair is real. Perfect episode. And this is why you don't judge characters by their initial stereotypes. |
