Her background had the potential to make out of her a nice character but most of was thrown away in order to make her the perfect waifu, being rejected is part of that.

Still don't understand how the witch scent was not a problem in the first iteration of the second arc but only when he doesn't befriend them because even of Subaru befriended them he still smells the same.

I think I would understand it better if i was a male since she's apparently the perfect waifu, to me she's just a normal character made of stereotypes, I think Emilia is much more interesting

This bold part. Plus, she's simply just a running waifu stereotype with nothing else I can say more about her, in which she's not totally interesting to me. I'm more interested on Ram.

The reason why she's so popular is because she received higher amount of screentime than other female characters. She also has been formed to be friendly towards the MC, just like many waifu materials. Audience caught up on her and thus Rem became overrated.

Ram is better anyway - she (righteously) treated the MC like a bag of waste.

Rem is a typical tsundere trash who first pretends to act harsh then falls for the MC.

I dont think Rem is a tsundere maybe people misunderstand what a tsundere is or i misunderstand.

Rem at first genuinely disliked Subaru then grew to like him

A tsundere on the other hand pretends to dislike someone and acts harshly towards them yet they actually like them

She doesn't act harsh towards him because she is embarrassed over liking him though. Its because she doesn't trust him. After he saves her life and she realises he isn't a bad guy she develops a crush on him and is super devoted to him to the point of willing to die for him. She never has tsundere behaviour

So much harsh language here, all forced out because people just gotta pick a side and stick with it stubbornly.

Rem and Emilia are both pretty likable characters. I can see why people think of Emilia as like demure or whatever, but think of it another way it makes her slightly less striking as a character. As such I do like Rem better, but not really by much. Rem's a character that is devoted to the main character and has changed a lot since meeting him. Her story and everything eventually moves to revolve around Subaru. Yet no matter how no. 1 Subaru is to her, she'll always be no. 2 to him, but that'll never change her mind, which could be a quality some people would rate highly as "waifu" or whatever. Personally I find that a little beautiful


None of it matters anyway. We're arguing for a difference between a 7.0/10 or 7.2/10 best girl material anyways. We got more important stuff to do like make people realise Tsukiko is 10/10 adorable.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Tsundere is "I didn't do it for you, you know!" or "Don't misunderstand, okay? I am doing it for XYZ." when they actually mean the opposite.

Rem is not a Tsundere character. That's all I have to say.

Is she the best character ever? Never. Is she is the best waifu material ever? Never.

Truth be told, Rem is a really likable character if we ignore how she jumped the gun based on Subaru's smell alone given what she and Ram had been put through by the Witch in the past, but she isn't as interesting or mysterious as Emilia. Unfortunately, the story in the anime focused too much on Rem which is why she became more popular. I don't read the novel so I dunno where it is but that's my opinion.

Also, usually when an apparent supporting character takes first position in polls from a story, it normally says the story has issues with prioritizing characters and not a well thought out writing. She is not only popular in Re:Zero, apparently Japan thinks she is one of the best female characters ever produced in recent times.

If Re:Zero cannot convince majority of the fans that Emilia is the better character, than the author needs to change their approach.

Basically people like it because it is cute and tender and its way of speaking, that is so insufficient to not be considered overvalued and the logical thing would be to have a problem with the people who like it, not with the character.

For me, its a case of comparison. I didn't think Rem was all that great, but when every other character in the series (aside Ram, but she got way less screen time) is underdeveloped and pretty generic, she stands out a lot. I wasn't that into the show, but those who like it, will be really into her as a character.

She's an ok character. I mean it's pretty easy to see why she's popular given shes the type of girl any guy wants but for me I could care less about her being the perfect girl.

Wish she got more characterization in the anime but given it follows the novels I can only hope that later on her character grows from "perfect girl/love's MC" to something else.

The problem with Emilia is that they didn't give her enough time to be fleshed out. Other than the first 3 eps, we don't see her that much. She could have been a much better character if she just had more screen time.

While Rem had potential, Emilia was not any better at all. Infact, Emilia is also made out to be the perfect waifu and had next to no backstory or development besides being Subaru's goal because reasons.
