Round of applause! This was just beautiful. This just goes to show that you don't need no crazy power ups or close yourself off to the world. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to and that was just what Subaru was missing.

Amazing episode. Had to be the best one yet. Also we all know Rem is the best girl of all time. After that speech how can you say she is not, but I got to respect Subaru after all that he still was like "I love Subaru." The heart wants what the heart wants I guess.

Man I cant wait for the next episode!

This felt like 50-75% of a really really awesome and powerful episode, it kinda needed at least a short section at the end of where they are gonna go from here. After a whole week of waiting and thinking whats gonna happen next, it's a bit of a let down to not even get an indication of it, other than "Subaru will try".

But despite this I at least right now consider this the very best episode of re zero so far, it was really powerful and it did not take it's characters lightly. Suffaru's despair did not go away over just a few happy words and Rem was fucking strong this episode. Given the ending I obviously am not going over to her ship but fucking hell Rem scored a lot of points this episode for being awesome.

LOL

"I love Emilia"

lmao, totally killed me

That was such a good episode though, even without any kind of action or anything (save the Puck moment of course) it was able to blow me away and deliver Subaru's feelings perfectly. But wow this guy has bad taste in girls, he should wait 2-3 years when Rem is taller. I'm sure she'll be beautiful.

Rem does not deserve Subura, how messed is he for straight up rejecting Rem feeling and then asking for help to save the person he loves, Subura is so twisted but I do believe he finally hit rock bottom in this episode

Subaru is back. And in an amazing way. The way he acknowledged himself as scum...very heartbraking, but also so so so important for himself. That was the best episode of this show.

Rem shippers you have to understand we didn't have a chance. There's really no need to be salty, I think we all know including Emilia shippers that Subaru's love is wasted on Emilia. There really is no need for a war.

The episode was a Masterpiece. The voice acting was some of the best I have ever heard, add in FANTASTIC animation and beautiful scenes it truly was a work of Art. Subaru finally realizing that "Hey, I'm a neet what am i good for." Rem basically giving him a kick in the ass and supporting him when he needs it.

Puck...holy shit what a bad ass, and Beatelguese....wow what a pure piece of shit.

We also now know that the White Whale is Gluttony which should have been obvious.

People also hyped it up to be on Par or better then episode 7 and 15, and I think it did it justice, these are 3 of the best episodes easily.

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.

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"
