Hey LN readers, can we maybe not be fucking dickheads and talk about future developments like it's the general thread? Ah who am I kidding...



Anyway, this was the best episode yet. The voice acting was indeed godly, directing was the best stuff yet, and the way they dug into the human nature that nobody here wants to admit they'd fall to in Subaru's situation, was absolutely fantastic. There were constant subtleties in Subaru's character leading to this, and the not so subtleties that everyone's been bitching about recently were what drove this home. Weekly reminder that you or I would be little to no different in Subaru's shoes.

And Rem best girl forever. This was the only way the episode could have progressed, but it huuuuuurts. That smile needs to be protected

Really loved the episode.

I have one question, why does Subaru starts laughing when he is being frozen to death by Puck. Sorry if this is an obvious one.


I would think it's just extreme stress that makes him go crazy. Like when someone cry-laughs at absolute despair. He feels weak, helpless, and unable to cope with the hopeless situation.

Amazing character development, introspection, and character interaction. This episode also had some great romantic elements until Subaru said he loves Emilia. YOU GIANT FUCKING IDIOT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! I was team Emilia and am not really a big shipper, but come on... it is clear he should be with Rem. Forget about Emilia you fucking tard. Anyways that was my complaint.

Episode score: 5/5

Subaru are so lucky to have Rem in your life, it's beautiful to see how the Rem loves, even if the way it is. I wanted so much that in the end he stayed with Rem instead of Emilia, but it is almost impossible, and it seems that Rem lit the mind of the Subaru and made him rethink everything, it seems that now he takes a turn. THAT SCENE LINDA Rem declaring, Subaru taking way and getting the story from zero, in the end he speaking the title of the anime, it's like here was the moment the anime really begins, finally, beautiful episode, very worth the worth waiting one week (sorry my very bad english, please).

eh...As a LN reader, I can't talk too much, but from the latest chapter, Rem is equal with Emlia in Subaru's heart, maybe more.
In the whole book Subaru just suicide twice, and both for Rem.


Well yea the LN is really slow and basically is where the anime is, theres way more stuff after the LN which is also after the anime

I teared up. From Rem's <3
>I like it when Subaru pats my head. When your hand brushes through my hair, I feel like we’re connected.
>I like Subaru’s voice. My heart feels warmer every time I hear you speak.
>I like Subaru’s eyes. I like how even though they’re usually sharp, when you’re gentle to someone, your eyes will be the same.
>I like Subaru’s fingers. Even though you’re a boy you have such pretty fingers. But whenever you grip them it lets others know that they’re undeniably a boy’s, those thin, strong fingers.
>I like Subaru’s way of walking. I like how whenever we walk together, you always tilt your head back to make sure that I’m following you.
>I like Subaru’s sleeping face. It’s defenseless like a baby’s, and the eyelashes a little long. When I touch your cheeks it becomes an expression of relief, and whenever I playfully touch your lips you never notice…my chest hurts when I see it, but I still like it.
>Subaru says he hates himself. Looking at it this way, then Subaru has many good qualities. Rem wants Subaru to be aware that she knows these points.

I've been waiting for this to be animated sooo long!!! And it was so perfect!!!

Subaru rejecting Rem for his stupid first love made me salty but meh. I like Subaru. He should be a BA now. And Rem's reaction was great.

REM REMEDY <3

Also Puck was friggin epic!! Loved his "U truly are slothful Subaru"

Yeah I think he was laughing at how useless he was and how helpless the situation was as well.

This is his third time and the more he does the worst things gets.

-First two times ended up with everyone dead, but the second time he witnessed rem's death and it was pretty gruesome.

The third time however was different because he caused the death of everyone around him.

-Rem sacrifices herself to the white whale but it is only following them because of Subaru's scent

- Emilia dies because Subaru tells her his secret

Topping this off with puck's statements it finally made him realize how useless and powerless he is and how his involvement only made things worse for himself and others around him (in this scenario of course). The whole scenario also forced a lot of self reflection from him but unfortunately he only saw the bad and not the good.

It's not that I'm too upset about Subaru not shipping with Rem, what makes me upset is the flip-flop in emotions his character takes in this scene. He shifted too easily from wanting to run away with Rem to being stone cold set on Emilia.

It's starting to feel like Subaru only likes Emilia because of her role as heroine. Even in the afterwards of volume 1, the author says something along the lines of, "aren't silver haired heroines the best?". Really feels like the author is fulfilling his own desires instead of paying attention to the feelings of the characters. I hate to sound like a Rem shipper but who wouldn't choose Rem after an exchange like that? Well, at least the author had the decency to end the ship so the audience wouldn't be mislead in the future along with Rem.

Don't get me wrong, I'm on Emilias side but I just hope that Subaru would have a more genuine reason for going after her besides the whole "she saved me when I first got here". Good will is not a good reason to fall for someone. Rem has been a companion to Subaru who's stuck with him through thick and thin, but mostly thin. To have someone pour their heart out for him and then to reject them just does not feel like the realistic choice.


You can't always apply logic to feelings of love.

But I do believe there's some truth in that it could just be the authors desire, but Subaru's love for Emilia is really helping to propel the story. I don't think Subaru would work as hard to save Emilia, if he just wanted her as a friend. But I'm on #TeamRem now after her and Subaru's conversation this ep.

Logic does exist within love to an extent though. Love is a culmination of attraction and attachment. Considering how heavily reliant Subaru has been on Rem and how she hasn't failed to put him at ease and reassure himself, it seems like an odd choice for him to go with Emilia seemingly only because of her role in the story.

Even though I don't like the show anymore, I can tell this episode is perfect in everything. Goddamn Rem destroyed my heart. This episode alone made me fall in love with this show. The entire episode is why I love anime so much.

Fuck you Subura. HOW THE HELL CAN REJECT THIS GODDESS.


Oh, also this why u can't judge a show until it's over, remind me of Cowboy Bebop when the first episodes were nothing good until episode 4 came and slapped me hard in the face.

Not to say Subaru's choice was a wrong one (Choosing Emilia over Rem) but I have no idea why he made the choice he did. Emilia has done almost nothing for Subaru in comparison to Rem. Rem has literally died for him twice and what has Emilia done? Save him from a few thugs and let him rest on her lap? I mean sure, whatever man. I'm just glad he's back to his happy self :c.

So much this, I mean Subaru may have his good reasons to like Emilia more than Rem and that's ok but taking into account that the series is 99% centered on Subaru and he hasn't ever gone into a rant about why he likes Emilia it just bugs me.


^My exact thoughts. I'm sorry but currently I see no explanation why Subaru loves Emilia so much. Since episode 1 till now all of their relationship was just bland flirting. And if some strong feelings ever come up, THEY'RE OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE without explanation. I'd understand it if he gave some reason for his feelings, but it's all "BLALA PROTECT EMILIA, BLALA SAVE EMILIA". Is he fucking hypnotized to cling to Emilia so fucking tightly?

Look, I'm not some hardcore shipper and who loves who is not my biggest concern most of the times, but c'mon Subaru x Emilia seems so damn forced it's even ruining the whole feel of the anime for me.

And YES, I am salty, I'm 100% salt right now, but I can't fucking help it that I have ZERO (hehe) love for what is happening right now.

Holy hell Puck, what've you been eating. It obviously seems like they're enemies, but I'm super curious about his relationship and past with the Witch.

I guess they finally spoonfed his character to people who found it that difficult to understand him, even though it honestly wasn't anything too deep or complicated enough to understand. :v

G'damn, that ost was on point for these scenes.
