I think Subaru should jump off the Emilia train and get on board with Rem.


Sadly that's not how it will end and we all know it. The worst girl will return again.

I don't mind buying an English translated version if it's available. Does it exist?


Well sad to say its done by Yen Press who takes 3 MONTHS for ONE volume so you are looking at 3 years for it to release till where the anime will end :)

When are we gonna get some actual answers to what's going on and why? I feel like I'm watching LOST here. The rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper and there aren't any real answers to what's going on and why.

I get that this is based off an ongoing light novel series and the anime is unlikely to have a proper ending but I'm at least hoping to get an answer of why from it before it ends.

guess she had some oni power regen power left? who cares? the whole scene was done as a tearjerker.


I actually wanted her to spend a good 1minute crawling really slowly with some epic music and collapse before she makes it and utters the first part of the 'I Love you' phrase. Not being sadistic, I just think Rem is a better character than most in this show. That would have made it more epic.
i agree about Rem being a great character better than others...cough cough Emilia...

Felt is a Loli and she is way more interesting than Emilia.


... For having a different personality? What if I were interested more in Emilia's? Felt isn't the same and cannot be. So she cannot provide what Emilia can. So it's about preferences, eh?


She's almost as boring as Superman. Feel free to like whatever you want. My comments are just how I personally feel. I'm sure someone out there thinks she's awesome besides Subaru and if they do. Good for them.

To be fair the lines at the end made me feel like if that beast indeed was puck he/she is the witch themselves.

Puck is a great spirit. I doubt they are connected in any way to the Witch.

A few things I haven't noticed people discussing much...

When Betelgeuse refers to people being 'loved' so heavily, I get the impression that he is referring to the witch's scent. Clearly he noticed it on Subaru, saying something to the effect of "Why does such a dense love hang, so abundant, upon your person?" Not sure how much of a role this will play, but I think it's minor foreshadowing for lore or exposition about the witch we don't know yet.

Secondly, a lot of people have been thinking the monster/voice in the credits is the witch. To me, there's no other explanation rather than it being Puck. The frozen landscape and the 'daughter' reference matches Puck's character precisely. Pretty sure Puck lost Emilia and went on a sort of rampage, likely killing Subaru as a courtesy, to relieve him of his pain (though Puck not knowing he's causing a respawn, so it's an even bigger courtesy than he realizes). I had no idea Puck was so powerful. And BIG.

And my own speculation on the sins:
Betelgeuse is sloth, as he claims, and I think a subtle nod to that fact was his lack of display and flair when he mutilated Rem with 'invisible hand'. Doing that effortlessly and so simply gave the impression that he does seem to abide by the sin of sloth. Nothing major, but I thought it was a nice touch to show that he's slothful in one way or another.
That being said, I could see Subaru being pride or envy, maybe even wrath with those scary eyes he had at the end of the episode. So far we've seen him exert almost all of the sins though, with jealousy driving his love for Emilia, pride driving the fight with Julius, etc. So it's hard to predict, if he even embodies a sin in the first place. I don't know what Subaru's role is supposed to be, but I'd be willing to bet his existence in the world will somehow benefit the jealous witch, or her return, or something like that. Someone definitely pulled him in for a reason, but we don't know who, what, why or how. The questions that have been plaguing me are "If the witch summoned him, does she know about his return by death? Did she give it to him and directly nterferes when he talks about it? Is she watching him around the clock because he's extremely important to her?" Dunno how long I have to wait to find out, but holy shit am I invested in it.

Thoughts on any of this?

But regardless, fantastic episode. 10/10. It's been a long time since I've seen REAL character development, amazing story and such believable reactions from fictional characters in such a morbid setting, especially coming out of an anime with such an overused cliché of a premise. This is almost a deconstruction of what we've come to learn from the "boy gets pulled into parallel world and meets a bunch of cute girls" anime type. So glad this broke down my prejudice. Favorite anime of the season by far, maybe even of all time. Cheers to another week of agonizing waiting. ;-;

Very gruesome, very touching, but audience knows that he can simply revive to reset so it's a lot less impactful since the events didn't really happen. Subaru should just keep a knife on him so he can cut his own throat when he realizes there's no way out rather than go through the suffering like in this episode.

Hard to watch Rem with her limbs all twisted up, can't believe she's my favorite female character in the story now since I hated her back in arc 2.

Guys, I don't have words to describe the mixed feelings I had for this episode. It was really violent and quite shocking, and when the credits began, I had the feeling I was watching the end of a movie related with the second world war, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry, but obviously it was a cry. (But, being honest, I don't really know where this show is going)

I love this anime.

How about the bashers on Subaru, still not satisfied? After saying that he is "Stupid" not a favorite but look on the plot guys, next episode will be interesting to see.

But those aside, they continuing to cut out important parts of the manga like when Subaru came to Rem to sleep beside her..

And hell that shot at the end with Puck in his infuriated form was epic. And die twice in a episode... No words, only emotions.

This is anime. The best girl almost never wins. You either get stuck with the worst girl winning or the status quo being preserved / no clear victor. Every now and then you get a show like Shuffle where a dark horse comes out of nowhere and wins but typically the best girl almost always loses and further more is never really a serious contender.

It's not even close to being sadistic/horror. Trust me I've read enough Doujins. It's actually pretty tame. I would have liked Rem to crawl on the ground for a good minute without music and die uttering mid-sentence.

if that is true maybe he did not accomplish his purpose. I mean he is so obsessed by Emilia but is clear to me that he should worry more about what the witch wants from him.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
However, I do have a problem with Betelgeuse. I know he's supposed to be deranged and over the top and make you feel scared and uncomfortable, but he was seriously TOO spastic and insane. I didn't even really feel scared, he was just funny to me and he made me laugh. Maybe I'll just have to wait for the subs, but seriously he was like an Akame ga Kill villain or something. For now though, he's an effective villain I guess...

Someone may have mentioned this already, but for me, the juxtaposition between that and the few moments he switches over to a serious tone are what truly make him scary/intimidating.

This is by far the best series I have seen in my one year of active watching. This series is engaging, plot-rich, exciting and has characters that you connect with and feel with. The visuals are stunning and the soundtracks are amazing and makes my heart tingle.

This episode was a huge escalation in story and I can sense that this is a beginning of a long and dark road. This is one of those episodes that just leaves you speechless when you get to the end. Makes you take your time to cool your mind and heart :)

One question to people who have experience with Re:Zero LN/Manga;
Do you think they will be able to fit the majority of the main story in the next 10 episodes? (Until ep. 25). I'm not being skeptical but more afraid if I will end up missing some of the story because I am way too excited for this!
