This had to be the most depressing episode of everything I've ever watched...

But then again, it's information Subaru will need if he wants to prevent this happening. If he gets the chance.

Rem was apparently stabbed through the head, so either Roswaal and Ram are somewhere else, or they're dead. In which case running away would be advised.


Running away would be advised? Why on earth would he do that? Surely he'll get killed or commit suicide, since he doesn't want Rem to die or Emilia to hate her. And it's his fault that Rem died, since he kept saying Emilia needs her. Somehow I think he's too selfish.

Subaru can kill himself anytime he wants, so it doesn't matter. Since he's already come so far, he might at least try and find some scraps of info.
Let's say he barges in, encounters a dangerous situation and dies in seconds. Yay, respawned, congratulations mister protagonist, you still don't know shit. Got to wait some days for another chance.

That's one of many reasons for why I really do like Subaru, he knows he can instantly go back to the save point, but doesn't, if there's a chance to use the situation.

And yes, he is selfish. But in my eyes, after what he's been through (and it's not like he's done), he already earned his right to be. And some.

Well I agree, it's only a good thing that he's trying to find out more before dying, but somehow I got the idea from your text that he should run away from the mansion, and that would be only stupid.

Somehow I don't like how selfish he can be. It's like he's forcing hes feelings sometimes (like breaking his promise to Emilia, but asking her to understand and trust him).
But I think Subaru is otherwise a good character and I can't wait the day he'll find some strenght to help everyone in some way - not just by dying and having a do-over.

The best compliment I can give this episode, and the next, is that - the end of ep14 in particular - reminded me of the eclipse in Berserk/end of the first Berserk anime. Did not expect THAT from this show. Wow. Series alternates between highs and lulls, and these set of episodes are the highest of a very fucked up but rewarding high.

Subaru continued learning the reality of his situation and the consequences of his actions in the harshest of ways. Can't ask for much more than that. Hopefully he learns his lesson. Sharpish.

Rem is the best girl, without a doubt, also: character development, personality, the lot. But just like nice guys never win, Rem has no chance. Emilia has that hard-to-get, mysterious elf allure, 'innit. Or sumat. OH WELL.

Nice OP, lots of cute faces, troubled Emilia, lol Al feeding apples, black chocobo, Pacman fish?
Black hoodies look like those attackers in Rem/Ram childhood.
Barusu still quite broken & arrogant, but seems to try harder & i get his perspective. That parallel of Emilia discriminated, and Subaru getting rejected for being "useless". Even if the black hoods seems too large for him to handle, it's still better to try than not at all, at least intel gathering.
Crusch interesting character, seems rigid running by the books, used Subaru as a negotiating piece, but still had sincere advice. Felis looks nice...but still a guy.
Rem lap pillow
Rem could've left alone w/o telling Subaru. Unless she planned to void the Crusch contract, since him staying in a random village was pointless compared to sword training & getting healed.
Unsure what butler meant, he gave up getting stronger, did he sense Subaru relies too much on witch power? Or his attitude?
If a reset I'm guessing before they leave Crusch, since there's 2.5 or 0.5 day travel time then to catch up.


It isn't very clear in the anime, but Willhelm is critical of Subaru's focus on swiftly recovering after being struck, as opposed to not getting hit/retaliating. In the LN, he mentions that, had they been using real swords, Subaru would have died when he was struck, and Subaru's ability to quickly get up after being hit by a wooden blade would be meaningless. Basically, by focusing on recovering from a blow, Subaru's operating under the assumption that he's going to get hit anyway, and that kind of thinking won't help him grow stronger

Thanks, nice to know his combat style & mentality. Sounds like he's trying to play Tank class with lots of HP/armor, except he's actually frail compared to most opponents. Maybe improving his magic is the better route.

Rem is best girl.

The new OP sucks tho. I miss the old one, even if we only saw it like 5 times. Actually, because we only saw it 5 times, that just made it worse.
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA!

Really hate the time travel gimmick to this show. It just means that when something edgy happens, like the end of this episode, my immediate thought isn't "Oh man, what an interesting development, I wonder where this show is going.", it's "Gee, wonder how long it's going to take before this is undone."

Still an alright show but it's not even the best time travel show this year.

I am just scared that after a while of doing that, the savepoint changes to after a character's death.

True enough, I'm not entirely happy with the save point this time either, although on the other hand, he would otherwise not be able to get the information he does get starting from here, which will likely be crucial in averting the current disaster.

Goddammit Subaru!!! He's pissing me off really badly and made this show almost unbearable to watch. Thank goodness I continued because hey, the messed up world is back.

And is that a sword on Rem's body? It looks like Reinhard's sword but then again do all swords have that design?

The burning of the corpse reminded me of the burning of the witches (witch-hunt)...

And those black, shadowy figures, are they related to the witch/witches? Did they give a bow to Subaru or was that just their disappearing pose??

I'm sick of Subaru's "im the only one who can do this" mentality and I thought probably this time he'd learn his lesson that some things are beyond his capability, but at the direction of where this is going, he'd end up being the "hero" again and i fear that that mentality of his would even be deeper etched within him



Edit: DONT LET THIS EPISODE STOP YOU FROM WATCHING THE NEXT ONE (sorry for the caps!)

I liked the old OP and ED more tbh but it's not like they're using them much anyway ^^

The only saving grace this episode was Rem. That lap pillow and the bed scene were too good!

Don't know what's happening to Subaru these last few episodes but he really needs to fucking chill. He's way too full of himself for how weak he actually is. Everyone keeps telling him the same thing and want to help him but it feels like his brain finally got damaged or something after all those deaths since he has only Emilia in there.

Witch cult so creepy, not surprising they bow to him after all the witch talk.
That village scene was brutal damn and Rem too...hopefully that will finally wake Subaru up, time to suicide I guess!

If you do no see what he loses every time he dies, I think you're watching some other show and not Re:Zero.

What he loses are the memories of other people. If anything good (or bad) happens, and he dies, he will be the only one to remember it. Any progress he will make in relationship with other people (especially his romance with Emilia) will be lost. Other people will not understand why he is so friendly/hostile since it's only the first (second) time they meet (from the other peoples perspective).

Currently the story is not focusing on that aspect much, but I'm certain it will do so in the future.

lol im aware of that, i was talking about sense of danger, people can die at anytime an it doesnt matter when he can just go back like nothing happened... all the violent deaths are starting to become boring at this point
i wouldnt worry about the development of his relationship with silver girl when he has savepoints that allow him to try again without much consequences

I doubt there are no consequences for Return by Death other than more intense Witch's scent. We simply do not know, yet, what they are.

Subaru still annoying as fuck, leaving his healing treatment that Emilia asked so hard.
but this time his choice was right, if he stayed it would be too late to save them when he already reach another save point. now he reveal the truth about what happened, it's time to undo them.

I wonder why he didn't get attacked by that Black KKK?
is it maybe because he has that "witch scent" ?

Rem's character design is so good. Character wise, she isn't anything special but man does she look good.


Reinhard so mature and reasonable, why are you not the mc? I really hope he doesn't become a villain later one but this anime is getting pretty dark.....

Oh man... and here I hoped Subaru would learn something but Nooooo....

Emilia: If you care about me, keep at least one promise.
Subaru breaks another promise

Talk about being an idiot. He didn't hear a single thing Emilia said. He really does not care and is extremely self centered.

"Only I can protect her" I'm sorry but how? Last time you got shit bitten out of you with a wooden sword... Do it over? Well in that case why not wait, learn more and see what happens first? Someone important dies? Do it over. Why start trouble before one happens?!

Subaru was ok at first but now he is turning into Shirou from F/SN whom I despise with passion and it's been years since I watched those series.
