| All in all I don't know what to feel with this episode. Sure it was better than the last only for it concluding with Subaru paying a mild price for his insolence. But overall it just gets more and more awkward as we go on. The tactlessness of the candidates once again begs me to ask; why them? Loli sounds like a penny pincher. Red dress in largely concerned with being spoiled. ...Wait *re-watches green-haired girls "speech"* I'm so lost on parts of "the dragon" I don't even understand the significance of the "dragon's covenant". But compared to the "bitch in the red dress" and the smallest one it seems to be a legitimate concern. And Emilia's wish sounds reasonable and consistent with the "pure" act. Felt sounds like she's raring for a "revolution" or something. Pretty much sold on the green haired election wise, taking into account Emilia's shady AF appearance. But I guess they really have confidence in the emblem's indication. Strangely enough Subaru's outburst was kinda reasonable but the lead up to it tattered it. The that knight was pretty much spot on. |
| Lol what is with the forced drama in this episode, I know they want to make a strong emotional appeal to the audience but the way it was done felt so unnatural. Anyways, Felt best girl! |
| Everyone saying that the last scene was great, and I'm here totally hating it xD I really love the anime, but I couldn't get myself to like this episode. Probably because I don't like when two characters I want to have in a good relationship fight. And because Subaru was really cringy this episode. |

| I Rarely comment on forums but If this is not the most overrated anime the last 4-5 years. I HONESTLY dont know which it is. Plots holes everyhwere, 0 explanation. and propably the most dumb and annoying MC ever. At this point it is like the writer has made the MC so fucking stupid so he can serve his plot whenever and however he wants.I Honestly try to find something apealling(since so many like it) and apart from the first 2 episodes that were QUITE interesting and set a plot and a direction.SInce then the anime and the story is all over the place. He fucking dies every couple of days and his constant issue is how he will help EMilia(after ofc pouring those mmorpg jokes) instead of trying to figure what is going on and also give us a hint about what the fuck is going on in generall we are in the 13th episode. Maybe bother and spent some time on your curse, MAYBE? I am done srsly |

Subaru used to be realistic. Up until the beginning of ep.12 This Ep it would've been fine if he didn't go full ''I am a knight'' and then badmouth them all. And if he didn't go full ''YOU OWE ME'' to EMF. She owes him nothing. |
| Wow, I found this episode to be amazing. I know a lot of people hate how Subaru acted this episode but I found it refreshing. It's refreshing to see the protagonist mimic real life emotions rather than the typical anime protagonist emotions. We have to remember all the times Subaru has died and all that pain and memories built up from each instance. With no one able to remember each failed attempt and not being able to tell anybody, a person would surely go insane. I find Subaru's mental breakdown to be similar to that of the time he tried to overwork himself in the mansion. Where he was trying so hard to be perfect but realizes he just needs to be himself. I'm sure he'll bounce back from this and return even stronger. |

| when subaru embarrassed himself in front of the whole council, he embarrassed emilia too. the fact that he wasn't even aware of that and kept going is proof that he is just doing this for himself at this point. it was even more obvious when he couldn't back down from julius that he was only trying to feed his ego. honestly subaru deserved what he got. if emilia didn't put her foot down now it'd only encourage subaru to act out even more. and to everyone who thinks emilia should've been able to see his sincerity: think about how YOU would feel of you were in her position -- you're a part of a heavily prejudiced race, you're also a candidate for ruler (aka. big target for assassins), then this stranger comes out of nowhere and forcibly inserts himself into your life doing all these self sacrificing things for you for no discernible reason. he seems nice, but you literally don't know anything about him at all (and it doesn't help that he doesn't seem to want to answer when you ask). then you tell him to do ONE THING (stay home), but he disobeys you immediately to do whatever he wants. honestly i'd be super unnerved, i'd think he was undependable and unpredictable, and possibly a huge liability down the road, if not straight-out turn traitor. so kudos to emilia for doing what anyone in her position with half a brain would do and cut off ties completely. don't get me wrong, i like subaru in general, and since the story's told from his point of view i totally understand his motivations, but his actions this ep was thoroughly disgusting, so i'm glad he experienced the consequences. |

| I'm truly impressed by the characterization is this show! Also we need Emilia back story asap! I just can't shake the feeling between her and this witch Satella. Also it seems they went a bit off script from the manga but nothing game breaking.. still would've been nice to see Emilia and Puck put that council in their place |

| Lol what a garbage. Pretty over hyped show. It's funny how it stands above Hero no academia in ranking people really are retarded and are satisfied as long some pretty girls are in anime. So pathetic. |

He still treats everything as if it could a threat. That's how a Smart MCs that got transported to another dimension would to act. Overly cautious, analyse his situation before making a move. Subaru is a clueless idiot. But Momonga litteraly became some OP lich in a new world where he dwarfs the most powerful persons. He lost his human emotions, the lich's passive effect protects him from fear and other bad emotions... also the guy was a working member of society who knows much more than a neet... well, even though he was kind of an otaku himself.

Just drop it if you don't like it by now, and no, it's not the most overrated anime in the last 5 years because judging by your anime list, I can name many which you rated as a 7 and above which are far more overrated than this. But anyways, on topic, I really loved the ending song, I can't wait to see visuals for it, it may even be better than the first ending for me personally, I just want to hear it clean first. Also can't wait to see the major development for Subaru's character (Finally). Interested to see what's gonna be the story of this arc. |

| I feel for Subaru, but he's kind of too tactless. That would basically be like standing in front of actual people in an army, and then calling yourself a "soldier" brazenly. Plus, Emelia told him a thousand times not to do anything, and he didn't listen and broke his promise. |

Idiotproofninja said: Dude if the main thing about the story is just hitting on some cute girl it is just a bad harem anime. I don't score the anime that low. But still pretty disappointing considering the high score. Many things are not really new or especially good directed. I seriously get the feeling that both the original work and the anime does not realize what good of a potential they have.johnyjohny said: Lol what a garbage. Pretty over hyped show. It's funny how it stands above Hero no academia in ranking people really are retarded and are satisfied as long some pretty girls are in anime. So pathetic. The whole point of the show is some guy having a crush on a pretty girl that happened to save him once from weakling in another timeline and spends the rest of the show trying to win her approval. This is just the chapter where he fails epicly at doing it cause his ego got in the way. |

| This drama is lameeeeeeee Subaru has no shame/respect for himself. He upstages an important meeting, and looks like an absolute dbag in front of everyone, which makes Emilia look bad too. He's a damn embarrassment plain and simple. Sure i understand he is frustrated that Emilia doesn't know where he is coming from but saying those things at the end just makes it even worse for himself especially when he knows full well that he can't say those magic words. It just made him look like a creep with ulterior motives, and it's not like she isn't appreciative of what he has done for her (at least what she remembers). Attending the event was one thing, but there was no need for him to make such a cringey scene, which would have saved him a lot of grief. |

And if he didn't go full ''YOU OWE ME'' to EMF. She owes him nothing. He's like that "nice guy" that plays a friendly role and takes a woman out to dinner a few times and pays then demands she have sex with him in return. He didn't take her out to date her or enjoy her company he did it as a means to an end. She really doesn't own him but he feels like she does because that's why he did it. If you notice he was more offended by their attacks on her then she was. That's because his ego and sense of self importance is latched to her status so when they attack her they attack him. In the end he can only be as important as her status allows him to be. I have no problems with him defending her. I have more problems with what happened after. And how this Natsuki isn't the same Barusu from the first 11 episodes. |

But when he self proclaimed as a knight is only depends on personality. Because he has that kind of personality he proclaimed himself as the best knight. So it depends on personality and based on his personality i think it make sense for hin to did that. And that "YOU OWE ME" thing, that part looks realistic to me cause that is what i would do if i was in that kind of situation like subaru. He got despressed cause he can't everything, can't tell everything, moreover, emilia lose her trust towards subaru, and subaru thinks emilia just betrayed him(though actually in other way, he betrayed emilia) or something like that for losing her trust towards him afterall what he did to saved emilia |

| Bit mixed feelings on this tbh. I mean the writer has already proven earlier in the show that he can invoke some really intense and emotional scenes in numerous different scenarios for the show, but this time it felt a little bit overdone. Like not really forced per se, but just a bit awkward to watch. It went from just being drama to full melodrama. Probably my least favorite episode thus far (though still perfectly passable) |

| This episode made me very depressed :( |
CorvusDruyaga said: Reading the comments thus far made me realize how many People misjudge Subaru in this Episode. Lets just recap, the dude died multiple times and had to start over without anyone remembering him or what happened in the timeline before. Dammit he wasnt even able to tell anyone about his "Return by Death", which makes this all the more difficult but lets let that aside for a Moment. Can you guys comprehend in the slightest how dying many times over and over and over again fucks up your mind ? Getting his belly cut open, getting smashed to death, getting cursed, i hope you get the Point, this outbursts of his is understandable it´s absolute human one might say. Now think you were in his shoes dying over and over again cruel deaths just to make everyones life happy and you get nothing in return, no thanks but instead the woman you like doesnt even remember a Thing due to the different timelines and cuts ties with you. Hell say what you want but everyone would have a meltdown in this Situation. i'm pretty sure the majority of people can empathize with subaru since the whole story's pretty much told from his perspective, but the world doesn't revolve around him. when he does shitty things, it's going to affect those around him, and those people are going to react to it. subaru's actions are justified from subaru's point of view, but emilia's actions are also justified from HER point of view. subaru isn't the only person who has motivations. |

Anime is a ''plot hole'' itself story is all over the place , havent read the manga, but the first 2-3 episodes were very solid,they should have kept the anime going from there, No, I disagree, the anime isn't a plot hole and the story isn't all over the place. Can you explain why you think the story is all over the place? Because to me, it's going solid 1 arc at a time, introducing characters to us, building them. Sure, I don't think that much has happened in 13 episodes, but I generally think it's a very well directed anime, with an amazing story and a great cast of characters except for Subaru of course, but I think he'll become a better character sooner than I think. I think what you are unhappy about is that they don't explain anything. But just hear me out, this is a huge story, I've heard the web novel has like 30 volumes and is only halfway done. So it only makes sense to NOT reveal everything in the begin. Where's the fun in that? I'm sure in time they'll answer many of our questions, but until then you can't say there's plot holes. |
