Wow, didn't think I would cry this episode. The impact is so damn big even having read the LN beforehand. Really loved that Subaru's being honest to Rem about his feelings. A solid 5/5 for me!

All aboard the SS REM, all aboard! BUT THIS DUDE IS THE WORST! He threw away that for emilia? WTF! I think the funniest thing was that Rem was mad fantasizing about the whole thing lmao.

I totally loved the episode. Honestly, when I first started watching this series, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do. I'm so glad I decided to check it out and sicked to it.

Subaru and Rem's conversation was great. I like Rem, though I didn't care for her much until 4 episodes ago or so. I think there is chemistry between her and Subaru but I also knew that Subaru is obsessed with Emilia, so I was sure that Rem might not be the one. I'm sure this episode will make a lot of people salty and disappointed but I'm still hoping Subaru will have a change of heart eventually even if it's not likely. I mean, Emilia is the female protagonist and in this kind of series, the female protagonist is the one the hero ends up with, right? I don't really mind Emilia as she doesn't annoy me but I would love to see more character development for her.

Time to continue reading the first novel that I received last week.

Alright... I complained about this show for nearly 17 episodes but I'll admit, this one was good. Was it worth the torture I endured until now? No, but the show acknowledged Subaru for the shitty character that he is, and promised that the real story is going to start from here so even if it took 17 god damn episodes, I'm willing to give this series a pass if it remains decent till the end.

Damn Subaru. At first I thought that he would change his love for Rem, but it was a mistake. Poor Rem. She is the one who understand Subaru.

This episode 10/10. So romantic

Subaru wants to run with Rem, and she reject it more or less. And he tell his "bad self" completely.

REM IS BEST FUCKING GIRL


BEST GIRL ALL THE WAY. He is not worthy!

Wow that was a pretty powerful episode so much emotion it was truly beautiful and love what happened towards the end of that death. Even though he sunk the Rem ship knowing she will be his support and foundation is still a beautiful thing. She will be the one he hopefully remembers saved him. All the Emilia shippers are throwing a party right now XD after being sick of the Rem screen time lol.

2nd best episode of the series IMO, just underneath episode 15. So beautifully done. This is one of the very rare times that an entire anime episode can be filled with mostly dialogue and still be so good due to its execution and emotional impact.

"Waah waah my Rem x Subaru ship won't sail now waah waah!"

I will probably never ever, for the life of me, understand why people place so much significance on which 2 characters end up together. Sometimes I feel like SOME shippers aren't even watching for the story, they just want to see who they can pair with whom (notice I said SOME shippers, I know not all of them are like this). Anyone who now hates this series because of this episode, get over it, complaining won't change or fix anything.

Anyway, this was a great episode, some might think "oh the entire episode was just some lame conversation." But this conversation shows Subaru acknowledging his fuck ups throughout the show, and explains why he acted the way he did throughout the show. I think this episode is really for the people who would constantly call Subaru an idiot without even attempting to try and empathize with him to understand his sometimes questionable actions. Instead of complaining about a pointless pairing of 2 characters who aren't even real, why not applaud this episode for showing how Subaru has changed.

@Langley_Lu I noticed that too. I know some Japanese from when I took it in high school and I heard him say "Suki desu." For those who might not know, he should have said "DAIsuki desu" to mean love, so I'm not sure why the subs said "love" for "suki."

I just knew it, everything was progressing too perfectly, Subaru was never going to accept Rem's confession - he's far too obsessed with Emilia to see that the perfect girl is right in front of him. Anyway, we got some proper character development here - I'm surprised how entertaining an episode where 2 characters stand in one place and shout could end up being.

oh this episode is the title drop, definitely appropriate for what transpired

puck in the beginning was just as badass as expected, but i didn't expect him to say what he did before the world reset.

subaru looked so tired in this episode, the man's been through a lot of shit in the past month or so. i'm glad he was finally able to get all that off his chest, sometimes you just need to bitch and moan for awhile and let all those emotions out. really liked his part about what exactly it took for him to give up.

rem is by far the best character in this series, at least she's the most enjoyable, a little disappointed she got rejected in the end but to be fair she rejected him too so it all balances out. i still have to wonder where rem was last week, it's like they completely forgot to draw her or something, maybe she was off playing twister with kirito

edit: i should mention i really hope he doesn't have another reset after this episode well at the very least i don't want a reset to before these events, this is much needed development for rem and subaru's characters and i'd rather it not be omitted. at the very least i want this to be the new reset point.

Yes, "ga suki da" more like "favorate", but it still not love, if he really want to say "I love Emlia", he should say "a i shi te lu”, it is hard to explain because culture different.
"ga suki da"can use in many place, like your favorate food, sport and many thing, but when you want to said "real love" to one person, you should say "a i shi te lu"

So I was going into this episode with a completely different mindset of what was going to happen (More action and suffering) and I had hyped myself this entire past week because of the Light Novel readers saying this was an important episode and how they were advertising this in Japan and adding 1 Min and 30 Seconds to the episode.

Let me just say that was one of the most powerful dialogue heavy episodes of any anime I have ever seen. I actually think this was quite amazing and it fit perfectly. I didn't want Subaru to keep re-doing this loop and screwing up due to his character's flaws. What I got was some of the most heavy feeling dialogue scenes in a long time with an amazing OST track and amazing animation. It was making me tear up at parts and it was like being in a boxing match where I was constantly getting pummeled but never knocked out. Subaru admitting all of his flaws was flat out amazing and extremely unique in any anime and I felt heavy heavy sympathy for the guy. For all of his stupid actions and cringe-worthy lines he's had these past 6 episodes I think this episode just redeem's everything, it really is starting from Zero for Subaru (and Rem).

10/10, for a dialogue heavy episode they captured Subaru and Rem's feelings perfectly with an amazing OST to boot and of course their always great animation. The voice acting was on par as well, great great episode that is worth the hype.




"I thought this was a thread where people with unpopular opinions seek validation. Am I wrong?"

Well that was some godly voice acting if I ever saw it. Can't imagine what it must've been like to record all that

I can't help but feel like most people would fall in love with Rem more than linger over Emilia after a conversation like that but oh well

This is episode is bad. The screen was so blurry, how can they expect us to watch an episode with tears constantly falling down? I cried for what? 20 minutes. That title drop was the highlight of the episode. I cried the hardest there. First, Tokyo Ghoul: re gives us a spectacular title drop then Re:zero follows with another spectacular title drop.
