| This episode was really great! The ending scene was really well captured but in comparison to the manga's version it was really tame. Here's the manga version: http://imgur.com/a/HFRNU Ouch. |
| Glad the interactions changed from last time otherwise I'd have flashbacks of the Endless Eight episodes. We get to see more of Rem and Ram this episode. Rem is pretty adorable when she smiles. Seeing Ram teaching Subaru their native language automatically made me think "oh shit, he's gonna go through this again isn't he?" Also, we finally get visuals on the ED credits! I've been waiting for this for quite a while now. I loved the song and the visuals told a good story. Now FINALLY...That after credits scene. |

I might be overthinking it, but that's what this kind of anime are for :-) |

| hmm.. am I missing something here?? I still don't get why many like this show.. I don't like the MC very much.. his jokes and excessive talking are never funny to me.. and the other characters seems bland so far for me.. the plot is kinda interesting but not engaging for me.. I'm not dropping this show yet cause many think this is a good show.. so will the show get better in the future?? or basically this will be the same formula that the show will follow to the end?? |

There will be more story, this still is just the start. But there will many revives so expect to see him go back and do things again alot from different angles. Imo this show is great although slow but that's all necessary for story development. They can cut half of the novel and manga and rush it but there won't be any fun in that. And you gave Bakemonogatari 10 which have the most excessive dialogues (most of the time useless imo) idk how subarus talk is excessive. |

That's just Subaru right now. "Subaru's an idiot who has four faults: clueless, useless, powerless, and reckless (laughs). But what makes him endearing is that compared to the average person he's more stubborn, gutsy, and unwilling to give up." - His voice actor. If episode 6's "The Sound of Chain" didn't hook you up, then drop it. Since that episode is like my favorite moment in the second novel. |

| Roswaal fabulous as fuck. Guy has the best seiyuu possible as well. As expected this show kills me again in the last 4 minutes. Love that they kept the dark vibes going, best cliffhangers ever. 5/5 |
| After this episode I get the feeling Beatrice is or has pieced together what's going on because she's managed to avoid his reset because of her room and has had time to monitor him and everyone else. She remembers the previous day but no one else seems to. Subaru also mutters about his death in front of her at the start so she has a general idea of when he dies. I'm guessing this episode gave her a way to verify that he actually dies and comes back. So I think in a future episode she may play a role in him getting past this new road block. I think it's also safe to assume that no one in the castle is full human. In the episode before this, Ram and Ros (forgot his name) are seen together looking down at Subaru and Emilia from the castle. Ros mentions how he would like to interfere but Ram mentions that they are only children and that even if we let them be, nothing will happen. This insinuates that Ram is older than she appears. We also have what happened in this episode. Rem asks if Subaru likes demons and he says he does and she becomes happy. With that said, Ros is also a powerful magician. |

There's nothing to indicate that Beatrice remembers the previous day . What Beatrice was talking about was what we saw at the start of the previous episode where he woke up earlier and stumbled into her room and got his mana sucked out. That happened before a reset point(which is when he woke up to the maids few hours latter), so obviously she remembers him. From her point of view she met him few hours back. |

| Holy shit that ending ... i still think that one of the twins did it |
| awesome end...this time...toooo but majority was a stupid filler episode |
 |
| i think the genre must change XD |

| Cliffhanger again. I just hope the culprit is totally a stranger, not someone from the mansion. I'm still curious on how "the savepoint" is created |

| Oh My God! This anime never fails to amuse me! 10/10 Subaru gets close to Emilia, Subaru dies. Subaru gets close to Felt, Subaru dies. Subaru gets close to Emilia again, Subaru dies. Subaru gets close to Rem and Emilia, Subaru dies. I wonder if distancing himself from getting close to women would help his survival rate? |
 |
| Really boring episode, hopefully next episode something actually happens. |
 |
| Re:Zero never fails to entertain me. The majority of the episode was really light-hearted and fun. At first, Subaru was so frustrated about him dying and everything being reset. However, after a brief talk with Beatrice he regained his confidence and went through the day all over again in high spirits. Emilia is such a beauty, I don't blame Subaru being so nervous around her during the study session. Subaru was already on good terms with Ram in the previous episode but this time he spent a lot more time with Rem. When Subaru talked about demons, Rem became unusually interested. Then the camera zoomed into her smiling, could this be some foreshadowing? Subaru and Emilia finally agreed to go on a date for the second time. We finally got to see the ED song visuals and some things have got me really curious but at this moment I have no idea what they mean. Everything seemed to be going really well until the final scene after the ED. That shocked the leaving hell out of me, holy shit. Subaru became extremely ill and was puking his guts out. His left arm literally just flew off into the ceiling light. Blood was everywhere, on the floor and walls. Then his head exploded or something. It seemed like something attacked him though. Fuck, that was a really brutal and horrific scene. Totally threw me off. I just love Re:Zero and its tone shifts. Can't wait to find out more next week! 5/5 |

Not a fan of the repetitions. Same thing happened with Erased. I've been enjoying the first and last episodes of the arcs just not the episodes in between. Repeating a day with minor changes is not enough content to carry an episode. If there are some details that play an integral part to the story that I've missed I will admit that I'm wrong. |

Its just bullshit. We see a lot of development and characterization .. Yeh the development "resets" after his death but its all important and Subarus development never stops. He breaks more and more, bit by bit with every death. |
NiQue_May 2, 2016 6:13 AM
| How can so many people missed the fact that Subaru revived to the moment after he got send flying by Beatrice? Of course, she remembers him because the checkpoint is after the meeting. She didn't kill him when they first met. She don't remembers the reset OK, stop with those already. |

Repeating a day with minor changes is not enough content to carry an episode. If there are some details that play an integral part to the story that I've missed I will admit that I'm wrong. Well this loop already startet completely different from the one before. Instead of greeting The maids with meta commentary Subaru flees even before Emilia can arrive already causing differences in the timeline. Then his whole behavior starts to change. Just compare how he meets Betty in Episode 4 and then in this episode. We see how he slowly starts to break. I mean did you hear one meta, fantasy game related sentence from him? Nope. After that scene he decides to reenact The same events in the same manner to create the same timeline which Leads to the same 4th night. By doing that he can draw his one and only advantage at the moment; knowing what will happen and when it will Happen. From this point onward you can see at many times that Subaru puts on a happy act and desperately tries to make the events happen in the exact same way. He still decides to hug Puck but he is not als passionate about it as before. In fact it feels like he has to force himself to go through all that again. Then he once again applies for a job as a butler. They used the exact same scene to Showcase Subaru's intentions to keep it all the same but then Ram has a hiccup not a sneeze. This small Detail once again implies that it doesn't work as good as Subaru would like it to be. Another example would be how Subaru let the dog bite him again although knowing this would happen. He also starts the dialogue with Emilia in the same way although the Setting is different which once again shows the desperarity in his action. This continues throughout the episodes which makes the differences to the Loop in Episode 4 even more apparent. Hell they even showed us scenes we haven't seen in The 4 days of his first loop. The show gives a lot of subtle hints towards changes in The Timeline aswell as upcoming character Development. You simply have to pay attention throughout The entire episode :) |

Considering there are still people who claim that "first half of steins;gate was filler and the show could have been 12 episodes", I really doubt completing the show would change that mentality. Its a prevalent problem in anime community and not just with this show. ColdBreeze said: How was this a filler? o.o Its really tiresome to see the same old "bah this had no action so that means nothing happened" being repeated again and again. Basically any show that actually spends time delving into characterization or has proper narrative progression and build up, nowadays gets called "filler" by those crowds who stumbled into the shows for cheap thrills. Its the approach towards medium that matters. Some of people like that grow out of "looking for thrills as definition of progression" while others do not. A-list_96 said: Really boring episode, hopefully next episode something actually happens. If you do not enjoy actual plot development that is your problem. Mindless explosion shows by ufotable are always a valid alternative This is not an action show. And having a proper characterization is the basis of any good narrative. This episode provided plenty of characterization for both Subaru and the maids, as well as providing more pieces of the puzzle of the overall narrative.

People are capable of seeing and interpreting foreshadowing without knowing the actual answers. Foreshadowing and hints are just pieces of the puzzle. ITs not hard to notice them and its what fuels theories and discussions on the actual direction of the show. |

My issue with the repetition is that nothing substantial happens (New trivial dialogue doesn't count as content fit to fill an entire episode) I personally wasn't engaged nor entertained by such minimal changes that happened in this episode. Imo all that these redundant repetitions are doing is harming the pacing of the show. |

| Oh Subaru is gonna suffer more this time.. He's handling this case pretty smartly, I like. At least his cooking and cleaning skills will improve considerably by the time it ends. Seems like Subaru/Beatrice is going to be my brotp, love how she remembers him regardless. Okay, okay, Rem > Ram. I take back what I said last episode. I felt like Subaru's VA sounded a bit like Okabe Rintarou (or Miyano Mamoru) when he was all nervous and later when he invited Emilia on a date. I hope Subaru gets that reward, I'm kinda rooting for him now. I love the ending song so much!!! My favorite this season for sure! I just looove the moment when she sings, "kieteshimau no -silence- I wish I was there. -music starts again." Just amazing. He's poisoned... and he lost an arm. Terrific voice-acting right there. Man, this show makes me so hyped. I wonder who it was... I'm really suspicious about Ram tbh. Seems like she was ordered by that lord of hers to poison him. Idk for sure tho, anyways I want the next episode. right. now. |

| Oh boy that escalated quickly. I am happy that they censored the Extreme-Gore-Stuff. I am nooooot good with blood and there is no hope for less gore^^. It is weird that they skipped the magic talk in the bath. |
| Friendly reminder that Fappa cosiders SAO, SAO II and Fairy Tail masterpieces. Reconsider his opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I lied, I didn't dropped this. I'm mostly morbidly curious about people reactions, if anything. The anime adaptation has some really cool stuff in them. I skipped the previous episode, so I didn't noticed then, but there's a detail I liked, that I didn't notice very well until I read that interview (I seldomly bother with reading staff information). Ram and Rem share different VA's and yet they went out of their way to sound similar when they are in their "twins talk mode". It was a nice touch indeed. Also yes. This episodes drops clues like's nobody's business. Some people had already figured out who or what killed him in the first loop only by watching this and last episode. |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |

They will bash on Tokyo Ghoul because it was rushed then they will bash on this anime cause it's faithful to novel and manga and so being slow. |

ColdBreeze said: Not really trivial though. But if you dislike "repetitive" episodes you should avoid series with time loops in the first place. Especially this one because you will see more loops in the future. Depends really S;G is my second favorite anime of all time.

My issue is with the repetitiveness ruining the pacing. So far I enjoy the first and last episode of the arcs but it gets tiresome to watch the ones in between. |

Until episode 4 I had not read anything. And I didn't pick any hint but instead of saying the anime is shit or sucks or whatever I waited for next episode every week. And almost all my questions were answered in the next episode. |

"People only know that it's a hint because they already know the future storyline, in which they can look back and say, "Ohh, they hinted it before! I see I see."." You can think something is heavily hinted and be wrong though. The discussion with the maid on their way from the village can be easily interpreted as "heavily hinting" at them being demons. Do we know if they are? No. If they are then that position is correct. If they are not, then it is what is called a "red herring" - faux foreshadowing/hinting that leads nowhere. Sure some people WILL pretend they don't know anything and make "theories" to make themselves look smart, but it is impossible to know which ones are actually speculating and which ones are just pretending to. |
