nyariko said: Man, that was harder to watch than last episode. Subaru's cringe-inducing behavior has just been over the line for me lately to the point where I have to pause multiple times just to fully comprehend how stupid he is. I'm also considering dropping my score because of how annoying I find him to be. He really just needs to learn how to stop acting out of line so that he doesn't find himself in bad situations. It was horrible watching him fight Julius because he didn't listen to Emilia's plead for him not to attend the selection. I feel like he deserved everything that came to him this episode. On a good note, though, I enjoyed Felt's reintroduction. I'm inclined to agree. The writing in the last two episodes has been significantly weaker than the rest of the series. It's one thing for Subaru to break down and be frustrated that his deeds have gone essentially unrewarded. It is another to do so when the person whose attention you are trying to get is the one you are complaining to. Subaru went full retard with his self entitlement and Emilia went full retard by not even asking any questions. This last episode just left me extremely frustrated and fearful of where the story is heading. I don't care to see Subaru going all emo. |

Like, whaaaat. That was as subtle as hitting someone in a face with a brick. Certainly not what I expected from an actual political part of the show. I hope its handled better next week. It was handled perfectly. Did you just imply that people don't shout and scream at each other in politics of our world? Yeah... Now realize that in this show, characters are powerful. There's no bullets for them to fear going through their brain. Instead, they're given magic. It makes them much more confident individuals. For one can be much stronger than another. Priscilla even threatened Felt with magic. In our world, would a politician threaten another with a gun in the senate? Unlikely. I disagree, while not all of the the faux pauxs of this world apply here, there are some things that could've been better said. As I stated before somewhere else there was an unsettling level of tactlessness present and no matter how much power each individual has they ultimately have to prove themselves worth to the audience. The way they did that was blatantly obnoxious and stripped any elegance the situation and room had. We can argue about how they've already proved their worth by being "chosen" by the emblem and all but the fact still remains only one can be chosen for candidate. There's still a means in which that title will be awarded. While I don't think it'll be a full-blown battle tournament I'm suspecting that there will be some physical challenges involved, be it because the plot leads them to it or it simply being stated. This still doesn't excuse the overt shorthand of archetypal phrases we were bombarded with this episode. The only real purpose I sensed from it all was 1) to indicate which tropes they embody and 2) to further highlight Emilia's "pure heart" nature bullshit we can't seem to get enough of, I think I'm getting a sugar rush just thinking about it. I swear if heart-snatchers existed in this world there would be hundreds lined up in front of the mansion. |

| This was in my opinion one of the best episodes yet. Despite Subaru's cringey actions and his overall attitude, I think this was an episode to set up for some major development for Subaru's character. And honestly, this claim can go both ways but while I did find Subaru's actions to be over the top and reckless, I don't think I'm in any position to criticize him, seeing as I have no clue how I'd react to being in a completely new world, experiencing traumatizing deaths and literally feeling like my entire life is for this person who saved me and gave me purpose. I have no clue how I'd react to not being understood and having it be impossible for me to explain my situation. I can't even imagine how tough it must be. Anyways, back on topic I hope that Subaru shows some serious growth as a character, and in that sense, Sunday can't come fast enough! |

Killuan said: Does anyone else feel Subaru should just kill himself to reset back to a point and mend his mistakes...I mean, he couldn't have made it any worse for himself. Nah, I think he should use this as a lesson and reflect on his actions and figure out a way to solve this without committing suicide. Plus we don't know where his new save point is at and killing himself to fix this situation would only mess his mental state up more. |

| Subaru needs to go back to the bonfire |
| He deserved it to be honest, Subaru was kind of showing off and really becoming insane i guess? but i loved it for multiple reasons, the main one is because this really sets the theme and how Subaru will probably have motivation to do things for Emilia and good to see felt back again if i am right its been like 10 episodes XD |
 |
| I have to admit the candidate speeches were a bit disappointing in this episode. In the LN, each candidate was presented as radical, but their speeches somehow made them controversial and convincing at the same time. We got none of that here, which is unfortunate. |
| ooooooh crap. Subaru snapped. xD That looked like an LQ lol and now they sort of broke up. sort of. *sigh* S/O to the people who point out what were missing on the anime, at least I won't have to read the whole manga/LN to look for the differences. :P |

| now i know why ppl rooting for rem besides emilia. Since last episode i wonder how can rem become best girl if emilia stay cute girl every time, well still rem will win, but when emilia get the spotlight i believe she will get that throne again. then this episode happen, showing emilia has no interest in subaru, except for helping her got rid her problems before. i don't care about the drama anyway, since i watch this anime for the character designs only. to me, emilia, pryscilla, and anastasia char design is far better than rem and ram char design. |

MAaybe they should've focused less on Subaru's faffing development and more on moving the story along. iRels said: There's no place for tactics, Not tactics, tact. Their power doesn't exclude being easily taken down by a competitor or a supporter. Emilia's "great spirit" didn't stop her from being taken out with one blow by an assassin That same Assassin cut Felt clean in half, like she was a bad joke. Her candidacy doesn't protect her any more than any other form of nobility, even less actually. One thing you don't do is give reason for people to rally behind your rivals or take you down personally. This isn't a matter of how strong you are, but rather a matter reality, but I digress since this is nothing of the sort. This anime won't play out the events of bad wording unless it's directly relevant to the plot, particularly for Subaru, I'm assuming. There was one anime where a reliable underling of the big bad king had the gall to mention his deeds with regards to sweeping things under for him in the past. As a means of keeping him from forgetting about him and furthering his son's status who had drawn closer to him due to the king's son becoming increasingly insubordinate. Unfortunately this doesn't rub the king very well, what with actually being one of low birth, and reminds him of a very powerless state he struggled to abandon. Tactfully he offers the offender to a sword match in seclusion. Nervously, the man accepts and realizes the error of his ways all while his son watches on in horror, witnessing the beastly rage of his king that takes his father's life in front of him. Here the consequence of over stepping your position too soon. The sneaky way he is done in and conveniently constructed the scenario in which his son, who has proven capable/useful can easily understand just what happens to those who, in any sense threaten him. asbirny said: now i know why ppl rooting for rem besides emilia.

Deathless said: I didn't get one thing. Reinhard told that he found Felt about one month but wasn't it just over a week ago? Starting from the moment when he found her (end of 1st arc), Subaru moved with Emilia to her country-house where events happened within a week. The way current arc started, it looks like that events of second arc happened just a few days ago so in total it should be 1-2 weeks, not the whole month. dude it's a month please count again :D |

| I got the feel between subaru and emilia, very good episode 5/5 this is my first post in ReZero episode discussion. |
| Feel kinda force for this drama. It really seem out of character. Sure, he'll break down at some point as thing stand, but definitely not from this stupid charade. |

| Ouch. The cringe. |
| That desperation at the end by Subaru is actually heart wrenching. He's so afraid of losing her, that he does the biggest no-no he can think to do and tries to use debts to make sure she sticks around, totally ruining everything he might have had remaining in one go. He royally screwed up this time. I have no doubts he'll actually consider killing himself to reset it, but I assume that would be too easy especially not knowing when he might respawn, so that won't actually happen. I feel like, even though he can't outright tell her that he comes from another world or that he can die repeatedly, she should be able to take a hint from him before he gets interrupted. The Japanese he speaks before getting interrupted does contain a few key words that, when this repeatedly happens, she should be realizing something extraordinary is happening. Lets not forget each time he does this, he gets that extra burst of malevolent 'aura' while clutching his chest... I feel like Emilia should be able to realize something is up by now when it comes to explaining himself. Yet she never does... |

| I don't think I have ever seen a more pathetic main character. |
 Man if more of him comes out on the anime it would be a 10 for me *-* but sadly Subaru's the mc ughhh what was the author thinking when he decided to make his character -.- Anways these two are going to make the anime worth watching it was beginning to Bore the hell out of me.  Forget Emilia x Subaru let's make Reinhard and Felt the protagonist I'm pretty sure they'll have better chemistry !! |
| I dunno but Emilia becomes super annoying and he's more annoying .. it was all good before this episode |

Either way its clear that the author is using other candidates as nothing more than props to showcase just how great caring and nice Emilia is. Hell even Subaru's ooc behavior can be treated as writing convenience to showcase how great of a person Emilia is. its just absolute strange that in show where we have flawed and interesting characters like Rem, the supposed lead heroine is pretty much kept as this messianic embodiment of purity and niceness. Whyyy. they could have added more flavor to her rant against him but even that was "aww I can't see you get hurt for me" kind of deal till Subaru MAJORLY fucked up. |
|
| The first arc of this anime was SO good and made the anime very interesting... After that, it's been pretty much downhill... The Twins arc wasn't interesting IMO and honestly, I didn't even understand the whole point of the outcome... Yeah, Rem is super cute and whatever, but that's pretty much it. This episode was by far the worst....very little made sense, the characters' motivations feels forced/contrived and the MC is driving me nuts. *SIGH* I'm once again getting that feeling I get in so many other anime that start promising but slowly get dull/uninteresting... |
| BTW....reading some of the comments once again proves that MALers believe Drama = Good....even when it's obviously forced and in reality nonsensical MELOdrama... I REALLY hope this gets better, because I haven't felt excited for this anime since the ending of the first arc....everything afterwards has been disappointing. And goddamn....the MC was so cringeworthy....I mean, he's had plenty of cringeworthy moments so far in the series, but this was too much, it was actually hard for me to watch that final scene. UGH! Dude, just kill yourself and start over. |
| ...Why are you double posting the what is basically the same thing? |
| Wtf!?At Least I've never seen this anime for his avarage (typical retarded shounen plot's arm) MC,but for the story and the lore. Nevertheless it was a good episode I think. At this point the best characters are Julius,Al and Priscilla. |
JustALEX said: Dude, just kill yourself and start over. His checkpoint hasn't moved yet. |
| An intense episode indeed! that conversation between Subaru and Emilia was very deep! I have to say that this story is taking a nice turn, good thing it's still going on during the summer! So I guess Subaru will start training to become a knight, his mentor will be either Reinheart or that scary butler, I really want him to get back at that purple-haired knight! |
Killuan said: Does anyone else feel Subaru should just kill himself to reset back to a point and mend his mistakes...I mean, he couldn't have made it any worse for himself. That would ruin the whole point of the episode, that Subaru was being retarded.
