| I dislike fanservice sometimes but I am okay with lap pillow scenes. Subaru totally deserved it. (and fanservice in this anime in general, I'm liking it) |
| The lap pillow saved him. Great episode |

I do realize that lolis do not need to be sexual to be lolis, they can just be made to appear like chilren, but usually when I use the term loli what I mean is they're there for the fetish and apparent money that is gained by apparent loli supporters, They aren't lolis, they're 17 like Subaru. He isn't even that much taller than them. |

And neither Ram or Rem are children or shaped like children. I think you're very biased in your own definition of lolis Definition of lolis: - Said by one of MAL's DB Administrator himself!Childlike character with innocent characteristics. May or may not be actually of child age, and very often isn't. We celebrate the awesomeness of lolis. This DOES NOT mean we're pedophiles (a horribly common misconception). It is a sad thing in today's society that loving "children" is automatically linked to pedophilia...but instead in this club we simply appreciate the beauty of childhood innocence, kinda like Catcher in the Rye. |

idk man, I like my lolis sexualised. Unless it's Renne. Renne-chan must remain pure :I |

Epicenter said: Novangel said: Speaking of Kino, the author actually wrote a spinoff novel of Kino's Journey called Gakuen Kino. She nicknames herself "Mysterious Bishoujo Gun Fighter Rider Kino". Guess you could say she's a little bit sexualized there lol. She's portrayed as a cutesy school girl. But as a huge fan of Kino's Journey I just thought it was interesting to note. I honestly got no harem undertones between Beatrice and Subaru though. I don't see how anyone could warp their relationship into anything sexual. It seems completely platonic to me. Honestly, I wish you hadn't given me this piece of information, I'll just shake my head and try to forget about it because I refuse to allow Kino's Journey to be stained by w.e spinoff. Anyways, once you insert harem undertones in an anime it's already over, almost all center characters of the opposite sex of the main character automatically gets placed into the harem sphere, unless its a mother or something like that. Beatrice just being around, having her tsundere like attitude with him, and her cutesy little stunts means to me she might as well be in the harem, sure a fringe member of it, but in it nonetheless. Besides, like I said, I'm not sure I'll give those two maids the benefit of a doubt of not being lolis, they're very near loli to me. Drop the damn show then. No one wants to listen to you bitch about these characters when everyone else enjoys them. Being pissed because there are unsexualized lolis in an anime that you say has harem undertones is something you need to deal with yourself. Also I don't need to say this again, but there's nothing wrong with liking loli characters. You acting like people that do are somehow freaks is just going to lead to you getting warned/banned here on the forums for attacking those with different opinions. |

| I heard Beatrice is a spirit so I'd assume her to be as old as Puck at any rate |

leNerd said: I always lose a little respect for male characters when they cry like a baby. That scene was still good because of that incredibly cute emilia. Gotta love a cute womans lap. After everything Subaru's been through, he deserved a good cry. I mean, who the fuck wouldn't cry after being slaughtered countless time and having that much weight on your shoulders but being unable to tell anyone about it? Men can sob their hearts out and it does not make them weak. You might've lost respect for him but he only gained more from me. |

Neither Ram, Nor Rem look like Childern tho. And until now no one has been sexualized in Re:Zero I think they're highly dubious, there faces, actions, andappearance in general is very fringe loli based. And you're kidding yourself if you're going to try to act like this anime isn't teasing with fanservice and romantic undertones. Maids? Holding hands? Care about the dudes hair? Him drooling over Emelia since the start? The fact that the male characters are the ones he interacts with the least? The in general kawaii stuff going on? You can't be serious. In fact, you making me even slightly think about this reminded me of that other loli, Felt. I guess you're going to tell me that her not having a shirt was accidental, and not to appease to the loli loving populace. That's not even getting into the Bowel Hunter, who was sexualized to like godly levels. I'm just going to assume by "no one" you meant the lolis, because you can't mean even the Bowel Hunter. At least Emelia and the Bowel Hunter have respectable fanservice. |

| Emilia seemed suspicious as fuck from that lap scene. I was honestly expecting Subaru to have 0 magic affinity since he isn't from the world, but shadow seems interesting, especially cause some shadow-like fear is stopping him from telling his secret. Hopefully Subaru will be able to survive the 2 sisters during the shopping trip. Going to be a horrible wait until the next episode. |
| This episode deserves one of the easiest 10/10's I've ever given. Subaru finally let it all out, thanks to the perfect Emilia. It really hit me hard, hard enough for me to tear up. After bearing this pain, struggle, and curse alone I really felt for Subaru. Seeing him let it all out on Emilia's lap was both greatly satisfying and emotional. It also adds great development between the two. Can we take a second to talk about how Puck is probably the best animal mascot character ever? I've yet to find him even remotely annoying. He's been consistently funny and helpful throughout the entire show. You're hard pressed to find a character like puck in any other show. For me, this might be the best episode so far; on the emotional level at least. I loved every second of it. It was so powerful. Wonderful episode! |
Fai said: So this episode pretty much spells out the thing that some people were too dumb to get last week - that Subaru's chuuni behavior is a front he uses to mask his fear and anguish. 5/5 The bath scene: Is he being 'chuuni' here? To 'mask his fear and anguish'? No. It's him thinking too highly of himself - speaking to Roswaal as if he were his equal. Why would he do this? Because he still thinks that he's the 'hero of the story'. And the 'hero' is obviously above a mere 'NPC'. (It's also him being too ignorant about the 'system of hierarchy'. He was just an ordinary, spoiled gamer... can't expect them to have learned how to behave near royalty. We can presume that he wasn't even [properly?] taught etiquette - like a mordern person wouldn't.) A person born into that world wouldn't behave so intimately with people of higher social status... unless they were of equal rank/ignorant. "Chuunibyou (中二病) is a derrogative colloquial term in the Japanese language used to describe a person which manifests delusional behavior, particularly thinking that one has special powers that no other person has." He's not really delusional. As the definition above says, he thinks that he has a power that no one else has... when he really does have. He's gifted more than any other person there, he believes (with reason). And it's not only the 'Return by Death', but the fact that he's from another world. He being there makes it all too miraculous--and naturally, would make a person think that they're 'special'. IF he were really delusional, then he'd act the way he does in the fantasy world, in the real world. But there - no, he doesn't think that he's anything special; he's depressed instead. Simply put, he has all the reasons to think he's something special - making his behaviors justifiable. He then making an act in front of the residents... (acting 'normal') was a (naive) idea he had, to try and avoid increasing suspicion. He was like: 'See? It's all fine here! No need to keep looking!" But after everything that had happened, he then became an emotional mess... He was reaching his breaking point with the accumulated stress; he then did in Emilia's lap. So his acting, and the 'chuuni' behavior weren't the same thing. In the earlier episodes where he made those jokes people called 'chuuni'... was him believing that he was being observed. Because he is the 'chosen one', so why wouldn't he believe so? Why wouldn't he think that the person/persons (if you think about it, he might even have thought that he was part of a TV series or something... being filmed) that brought him there, wouldn't be keeping an eye on him? This would be more believable than all the unbelievable stuff that was happening with him. You people thinking otherwise makes YOU appear to be the 'chuuni' ones to me, hah. (As if fantasy worlds actually existing is even a possibility... Where people should know how to behave. C'mon, let's...keep dreaming, then.) And I welcome corrections; it's for the sake of the show. |

 That was the one of the cutest head-put-on-lap scenes I have seen in anime. <3  Next episode Barusu will have a pretty flower on his each arm <3. 5/5 even when nothing seem to happen is a sign of a very, very good anime. |

This reminds me of sjw's who claim that racist means systemic oppression of race, and ignores the other typical use of the term which was simply prejudice and hate based on race. People have used loli for a long time, the term simply has different definitions and connotations. Lol at Felt not being a loli. I don't have to drop the show, because I enjoy it. It's not like I went on some huge rant talking to myself, or come here every week insulting lolis, I mentioned I hated lolis, and someone responded to me and I responded back etc. So what, is not having dissent from liking lolis now some sort of rule I must bow down to just because you guys either like lolis, dislike criticism of the show, andor just don't like my opinion?

| This episode really does a good job displaying that Ram and Rem don't really hate him. Seriously love how they're not afraid to cut out the OP or ED in each episode depending on length of telling the current episode's worth of story. If only more adaptations would do that. |

"Sigh" guys you all give to much fucks about (non) existent problems. Enjoy life and don't let you be dragged down by negative emotions. Subaru and Beatrice have a brother/sister relationship as the story goes on. And in the whole story so far there are only 2 romances at all. Both are unrequited love. |

| Okay, go throw your loli argument out the window. You're going off-topic from the actual discussion and arguing about what's a loli and what's not. Lots of bait I had to delete. I won't give secondary warnings. |
 |
| You know, Subaru acts around Beatrice as Araragi acts around Mayoi in Monogatari. It's fanservice, nothing more. Dunno why some people can't understand something that simple (not to mention Betty goes far beyond being merely loli with her personality and the same applies to both maids). |
| Why is this anime so good? I'm loving it so much. Definitely one of the greatest animes i've seen. That moment when Subaru lay down on Emilia's knees...was so perfect :3 Emilia is so cute. When Subaru was talking to Beatrice, for a second i thought that Emilia was that witch...since she said that her name was Satella... It was pretty normal when he started crying, it must be so hard for him to support all of this only by himself. After the last episode, Beatrice is one the best characters in my opinion. She is always helping him and sometimes punches him too xD I really hope there will be more moments like this between Subaru & Emilia :3 |
