Lol the twins are so fun to watch. Same with almost everyone so far. Poor Subaru...



Glad to see him getting along with Emilia even more. The conversation he had with Ram is rather interesting..
Another crazy ending of Rem ;o

Luckily Subaru's still optimistic about everything, especially after a painful death like that. More SoL-ish moments between Subaru and Emilia. Lol at Puck's way of cleaning him up. That conversation between Subaru and Ram about that story was lengthy but good. Seems like this time Subaru wants to change it up by leaving the mansion early. Seems like Subaru's still in risk, even outside the mansion. And we finally get to see who's responsible for all of this. Seems like Rem is responsible for everything.

Though it would've been nice if the picked up the pace with the episode so they could've adapted more, but it's alright I guess.

...and the killer is finally revealed.

According to the episode titles, the second arc is going to be at least until episode 10.

I wonder how they can fit the third arc in 15 episodes..

Didn't go as far as I wanted it to be but if it's for a more in depth scene about characterization and world building then I'm absolutely fine with it. So it's in fact episode 7 that is this monster of an episode, well waiting game now.

I love that they are taking their time :)

I also wonder what theories people will craft about why Rem hunts him down and what was the reason why he got so sick since Rem can't use magic that allows mana drain.

I really could imagine that they cut the OP and/or ED which would result in at least 1-2 episodes more and/or a 1 hour episode again as last episode.

OR

They just go till Vol 6 and leave it open (for a sequel or something).


Or they will cut not-so-important stuff out. Who knows

I can already see it ending like AgK

Haven't seen the episode yet, but I think we stop worrying about something we won't know 2 months from now and just... you know enjoy the adaptation?

Anyway, judging by impression it stopped just where I hope it would. The director really good utilize the suspense and mystery thriller aspects of this arc. :D

Well, they broke the pattern of 1 death per episode.

But I was hoping that they didn't end at THAT particular spot.

In my opinion they slowed down a bit too much but it was for a very good reason which will pay off in the long run, so it's okay. All in all it only means that we have to wait a bit more for something we're very excited for.

Subaru's insane waking up after that brutal death acting all cheerful and shit. That's what makes him great.

He really barely interacted with Rem this time. From the way I saw it being a guest wasn't really any better than working there. I felt he got closer to them as a butler.

And this time he wasn't poisoned so I guess it really was the dog since he wasn't bitten this time.

The Red and Blue Oni story was definitely interesting. I don't know how I didn't think about it after the implying that Rem and Ram are demons and with their hair color and shit.

Emilia's smile was beautiful as usual. Speaking of smiles, man I just can't imagine how Rem killed him that brutally last week after they interacted that much and she showed him that beautiful smile. Merciless asf!

Can't wait to see how Subaru will act toward Rem now in the nxt Revival

Beatrice is fantastic, she's my fav.

It irritates me seeing Subaru get such a bad draw over and over. No real reward for his almost altruistic nature, only end in pain and despair.

Also, anyone notice that Rem and Ram match the Ogres colors and natures in story, interesting eh?

It is indeed a better choice.


I see it as them taking a great part of an episode and replacing it with just as good scenes in order to get the watcher ready for a really great next episode that'll include everything.

Fucking called it! I knew it was Rem. Her blue eyes gave it away in the last episode.

Another great episode. They really know how to get you excited in the last 5 minutes of the damn episode lol.

Really like the shuttle hints of character development for Ram and Rem. I feel like they have been through a lot together.

Wasn't surprise to see that it was Rem, but I still don't know why. I mean the first time it seem like they were think he was a spy. The second day thought everything was good. Now it just seems like Rem wants to kill him.

Man I can't wait for the next episode.

Holy crap, it was REM?! I did not expect that. Why her? I always thought, it was Ram or Roswaal.

Great, great cliffhanger.

Also the ogre story (which i am familiar with since Ore Monogatari!) was very interesting, that's probably the story of Ram and Rem in a nutshell.

We know of magicians now (Beatrice and Puck can use mana drain)

At first, I thought Subaru's walking the hall while Beatrice following her. He also late to realize about her sarcasm about "pest". LOL
Never bored hearing that Roswaal accent, and now Ram's not sneezing which makes everybody suspicious (?)
If only that Red and Blue Ogre story Subaru brought have a visualization just like the first episode of Ore Monogatari. I'll be crying for sure.

Oh I have such a good time reading these responses.

I couldn't help but grin like an Idiot when the majority of people suspected Roswaal or Ram but in the end it's probably the least suspected one.

Now I really look forward to the theories about why she would do that ( although it's almost impossible to predict ) :)!

I started to become more suspicious about Rem and Ram, but I thought Ram would have been the killer after the way she reacted to Subaru's story about the ogres. Let's see if he can get through this without dying.

I had my worries because Fappa told me that they ended the episode in the midst of this part. But in the end, that works in favor of the series. It's one hell of a cliffhanger and the important parts aren't cut out. Episode 7 will be great for sure.

The foreshadowing in this anime is really strong. Even the ending (episode 5) had a lot of hints concerning the future story development.

Good job. But don't worry, the problem will be twisted to the point where only the viewers, who pick up the clues between the lines (and foreshadowing) will be able to predict the story.

Smudy said:

I thought it was fine, especially because got across necessary world building, characterization and as well as shown Subaru investigating the problem at hand now that he knows how he was killed.

Yes, judging by her reaction and her comment about not telling this story to Rem their pasts probably parallel that. It gives you an idea what kind of relationship they actually have.

If anything he wasn't ever poisoned to begin with. Going by what Betty said he must have of been cursed somehow with an effect similar to mana drain.

What I don't understand is that in the first two cycles, he overstayed his welcome, was considered to be a spy, and then murdered in the night. Ok. Fine.

But this time he decided to freeload for a bit, and then decided to leave. If he's leaving doesn't that make it seem less suspicious? Why would they still execute him?

Is him having knowledge of Emilia being a contender for the next Queen/King supposed to be classified or something? If that's the case, then he's pretty much sentenced to death on Day 1 (ep 1A) considering how he runs into Emilia immediately after being transported to this world.

That leads to this burning question I have. Why was he chosen to be transported to this new world in the first place. How come he couldn't just finish his shopping at the supermarket normally that fateful day?
