10/10
It was a great episode tbqhwyf(to be quite honest with you family). I leaked a bit when Rem started crawling to him.
What part would you consider to be the high point of the episode?
>Ending
>Rem
>First Death
>>144004465
the end there are no word just i want more
>>144004295
is this the birth of isekai kino?
>>144004465
Fuck there is a lot of great things that happened in that episode. The VAs were spectacular, especially Rem's. Her screams and wails were on point. Even Subaru when he was chained to the wall. I didn't mind the villain all that much, but I can't ignore that he had some unsettling mannerisms. The characterization was quite clear.
However, I think the part that hit me the hardest was when Rem started to crawl to Subaru.
Index did time loop suffering better without being needlessly gory for shock value
Real talk: I really despise the pacing and narrative flow of this show. It's honestly the most unnatural and unlikable I've seen in an anime.
To explain, everything in this show feels like it happens for no reason. Why is Subaru's main life goal suddenly worshiping Emilia? No reason. Why does Subaru get killed by level 10 billion fighters who appear out of nowhere? No reason. Why is Emilia's mansion filled with special snowflake superpowered demons/clowns? No reason. Why is there a pack of magic death dogs killing everyone? No reason. Why do 10 billion super-powered assassins come out of nowhere and slaughter absolutely everyone? No reason.
It's not that there's literally no reason (they likely get explained later on) but there is no rhyme or logic to any of the story events as you're watching through the show. It's feels like a series of random disconnected events that make no sense just happening so there's something for us to see. I really want to like this show, but this garbage story-telling mechanic really damages the experience.
>>144004669
i think the goriness of it is what makes the time loop suffering work better because its pain to see all of this happen to him again and again
>>144004699
>wooooww the entire show and character motivations aren't immediately explained to me
>>144004465
Rem crawling towards Subaru, then the incredible ending to top it off.
I can't fucking wait for the next episode.
>>144004465
Ending was the best part, the music was 10/10 with the snow slowly covering his body.
>>144004699
The tempo reminds me of a dickhead GM on a game of tabletop.
>character gets -19 on all rolls
>character sometimes lose a chance to roll
>GM adds mobs that always rolls a 15 or higher
>encounters happen with no prep time
>knowledge sharing to kills the character
>rollback quirk checkpoint is on the GM's discretion
>>144004699
To me, I felt that is was more realistic, for some outsider to come into this fantasy setting and picking up bits of the story as things occur.
It's become clear by now that Subaru is suffering because he is tied to the witch, and we had to piece this together alongside Subaru through context, not spoonfed. This is commendable, as the author is not insulting our intellect.
I for one thought it was better for the plot to not be laid down by exposition. "Show, don't tell," as they say.
>>144004699
Are you a fucking toddler or something? Why would you complain about not being spoonfed the answers to everything?
>>144005117
Get out.
>>144005032
It felt like a time deposit where you have to wait until the investment bears a noticeable profit. I understand if people simply don't have the time to trust an author, considering the poor fulfillment value of anime shows recently.
>>144005117
>i was sooo made at the ending i thought they where ending it there
it should have ended there, it was the best possible point for the episode to end, shame they have to hook faggots like you into watching the next episode so they had to continue the story just a little bit more
>>144005091
Reminder that there are actually people in the world who believe this. Subaru is getting at least a bittersweet ending. Not that the author has it planned or that it even matters in the first place since this show exists just as a throwaway until the next light novel gets popular. In 3 months nobody will care about Re:Zero.
>>144005091
Not with Japs it isn't.
>>144005351
And for a good reason.
I find it funny that Narou responded to Kadokawa shilling Re:zero by culling isekai from their rankings.
This show any good? MC looks like he's going through a ton of despair.
>>144005516
It isn't. You have to invest a lot for very little profit. It's better to fap to the art.
>>144005516
AOTS, possibly AOTY.
>>144005516

>>144004604

>>144005516
Don't know why but I felt bored and dropped it at Episode 8.
>>144004295
That was actually a fucking great episode
Seriously if those faggots still shit on this show after this we will know they are just massively fat moetards and be able to go on with our lives.
>>144005516
AOTY
>>144005516
It's good if you're easily impressed with shock value. Since you seem to like Danganronpa i'd say it's right up your alley, it's even specially popular with /v/ crossborders.

>>144005725
t. I actually watch all the Lucky Star clones and anime for little girls every season
but seriously, do you mind telling me what's wrong with this episode
>>144004699
I agree, also this show needs to show us more of the world/magic/society. If they did that then things like the demon dogs attacking and the magical gate breaking wouldn't feel like they came out of the blue as much.
so far this season is filled with suffering.
>>144004465
Subaru's first death was pretty brutal. The fingers, dude, the fingers.
>>144004465
Ending. Subaru's hatred is acumulating...
>>144005786
The episode is fine, they clearly got a great director. The problem is that the show itself is bad. It's an extremely shallow plot pretending to be deep trough edgyness (as much as i'd rather not use that word) when it's just a dumb waifubait with a twist. I mean come on now, you must have only watched the dumbest shit trough your entire life to think this is actually good.
>I-if you didn't like the episode you must be baiting
>>144005860
What was dumb about it?
>>144005860
Or baited into crying by the most textbook shit straight out of Key's Tearjerker Manual.
>>144005860
explain how the plot is "extremely shallow".
While I will agree that it hasn't been much more than other Isekaishit from the start, there have been some episodes that have set apart the show.
Calling it dumb waifubait just makes your opinion seem retarded, make a more compalling argument
>>144005886
>wow guys look at me, I'm such a contrarian faggot! This episode sucks tee hee
>>144004699
Because you over analyze shit lmao. This isn't some interpretive film, it's a japanese CARTOON...
I will never understand why ultra-weebs can't just turn their brain off and enjoy a show for what it is
>>144005860
>trough

>>144006037
>turn their brain off
The only way to enjoy this show.
>>144005962
Wow, the contrarian boogeyman. You do realize that this show being popular does not make it bad. The plot, characters and pacing do.
>>144006119
Well then, I guess i'll take your word for it, mr. hot opinions.
>>144005904
Nothing specific, just everything in general. It's just a very, very simple story with really nothing special going for it other than shock value. The setting is forgettable, the characters are bland (most of them are waifus and Subaru is just generic with a bit of suffering to spice it up but anyone can do that) It's like >>144005933
said. Pretty good show if you have only consumed the most generic forms of media trough your entire life. I swear i'm not usually this much of a snob but this happens almost every season where one of these shows attracs someone who has never seen anything like it before while it's actually really common.
>>144005962
There's barely enough for me to talk about. It's just bland. It's just there. It can be pretty shocking but shock value is to stories what jumpscares are to horror, you're not being intelligent as an author, you're just appealing to base human instinct.
>>144006119
Except the characters, plot, and pacing are what make it AOTS. The popularity is just icing on the cake as it attracts comical contrarians such as yourself.
>>144005860
This thread is much better than the one we had earlier. I guess posting when the kiddies are asleep makes all the difference.
>>144004295
>subaru gets decapitated and dies instantly
>timeline continues while the credits roll before reset back to appa stand
I think that confirms that the failed timelines keep going after Subaru bites the dust, it doesn't rewind time, he goes to an alternate universe instead.
>>144006165
You can't just tell me the show is bad then go on and say nothing specific, come on now.
You can't tell me the characters aren't interesting, the only one who literally does nothing much is Emilia.
The setting being forgettable or not depends on the person.
Subaru isn't like the usual MC at all either, considering both his intelligence and his overall uselessness.
>>144006165
Even if the show was "bland" or whatever you want to call it, it's better than 99.9% of anime nowadays.
Not that I agree with you, but your mind seems to be already set. Being snobbish shouldn't be frowned upon if you actually have a reason to do it.
>>144006165
It's actually a good idea to turn off one's brain while watching shows like these. To me, I've watched so much anime that I've become too genre savvy about certain stories, including Re:zero.
>>144006267
I'm pretty sure it was just because it looked cool as fuck
>>144006267
good observation
>>144004608
>but I can't ignore that he had some unsettling mannerisms.
He's a man who can't stand to be still. If you look at him, he's always moving, talking, and doing something, even if it's entirely pointless. His mannerisms are what you get when you force yourself to always be doing something, even when you don't actually have anything to do.
Give it to me straight, Doc:
Do I watch this? Is this episode alone worth it? I have seen this thing, Subaru (the MC, I assume) in particular, getting a lot of hate.
Is it one of those things /a/ hates because it is popular or is it really shit or what
>>144004295
shit:zero fags are getting really annoying with their pretentious edgy shit show spam
>>144006165
I'm sorry that you are underage and couldn't see past the deaths that you interpreted as "shock value," instead of admiring how well the losses were executed.
Thankfully, the rest of us don't have autism and can enjoy a good show.
Now kindly fuck off.
>>144006283
That's the thing, i'm really not that snobbish. I disagree that most anime nowdays is bad to start with. I'm watching Active Raid this season, and that's a very very silly show, but it has "heart" i guess. Re:Zero is just so run of the mill.
>>144006387
The MC isn't really supposed to be a great guy, and he does get shit on for it fittingly, I say why not.
At the very least you can see a character you hate die and grow a little bit of balls to then get slapped down.
>>144006387
Watch the first two episodes. At first it seems like typical isekaishit but you'll see soon.
The MC gets hate because he is a flawed character and he does some dumb stuff because that's what people do.
>>144006387
>getting a lot of hate.
That's a plus. We just love to shit on him that much.
>>144006428
Pfffftttttt
Fuck anon you made me spill my fucking drink. So you're saying that in a show where the MC goes back in time or whatever and no deaths matter the "losses are well executed". That's so fucking adorable. It's like being on a high horse but the horse in case is a tiny poney.

>holy...what the ... i just ..fuck man that was so good
This anime is mediocre. Back to >>>reddit with you.

>>144006471
>no deaths matter
>>144006497
Porbably becuase you're anunderage faggot that needs to GTFO
>>144004699
there is a meta plot going on in the background which the author keeps consistent. I have my own complaints about this series, but one of them is not the consistency of the events.
There is one "villain" who has not been revealed, nor his/her motives been explained yet, which will tie all the events together; there is a 2nd villain who has been revealed who's motives and plots have not been explained yet but which are inferred.
Think of it like this. Unlike in many novels were there is 1 bad guy the hero must thwart there are multiple bad guys working toward a series of nebulous personal goals and one main goal, who's activities overlap and are not coordinated with each other.

it starts off mediocre, and gets stronger the longer you watch it. I wouldn't say it gets "good" until we get to ep 10 or so, but every episode since has been top tier.

>>144006654
Bullshit. That's not how a properly constructed world works. I'd take 200,000 footmen and several archmages than Reinhard who can't even use his powers to solve the problems of his world.
>>144005962
popularity =/= bad
this show just surpassed Higurashi levels of nightmare with this episode. The blessing in Higurashi for everyone except for niipah was no one remembered the loops. Since niipah was indirectly responsible for the loops for the most part she was more of an outsider anyway.
ReZero however has all the loop torment falling on the MC, and unlike higarashi where we learn about the looping and niipah a thousand years after it started and the mindbreak already complete, in reZero we are getting a front row seat to the mindbreak.
It's pretty harsh to watch.
I don't watch this anime and I don't want to watch it, but can you post more screenshots (or webms even) of suffering? It would be very appreciated.
>>144006737
Reinhard can solve every problem if he is around anon, he's just having his filler arc.
Someone make a Punished Subaru edit
>>144004465
There was something totally otherworldly about the ending. I just sat and stared at the credits with this immense feeling of emptiness, it made me feel so small.
>>144006846
If only it had been the last episode to a series. Now that chance is wasted.
>there are people ITT who unironically think this is a great show overall and probably best of season
This was a good episode, and this show does some things right, but I'm getting real tired of you niggers making this out to be something special. And this isn't me being contrarian, popularity has nothing to do with it. I think many of you are simply carried away with your emotions
I guess one good thing that comes out of this is that the self-insert faggots and crossboarders (which tend to be the same people) are outing themselves as people who don't watch a whole lot of anime
How come Subaru goes into an almost vegetative state instead of being like " Holy shit that was fucked I should fix it". Is he just weak mentally?

>>144006623
>Where are the equally numerous protagonists then? Are they on strike?
well, the "protag" is definitely Subaru. However he's not the "hero", the real in universe hero in this story is Reinhart. However since most of these events are occurring behind reinhart's back, he's not there to put a stop to them.
Think of it like this. imagine an action movie like Die Hard, lets say bruce willis isn't the protagonist, however his actions occur as the hero just like they do in the movie, however the real protagonist of the story is executive X, a random normal dude stuck at the party. His wife is one of the first people killed when the terrorists storm the building.
Now form most people's point of view, in the original telling of the story Bruce Willis succeeded after many hardships to kill the terrorists and save the day, but was it fast enough for that poor executive and his wife? no.
So a story containing a time loop power and that normal executive and his wife happening in the background makes it's OWN interesting story as he tries to find the proper events needed to navigate the terrorist attack, until bruce willis can save the day.
Complicating this, is Subaru himself, he's GENRE savvy. He LOVES transported to other world stories, and in every one of them the person transported is the HERO of the story. So Subaru has been believing from the moment he showed up in this world that Emilia is the heroine the universe chose for him to save, and he's the hero of the story. HE THINKS he's bruce willis in die hard, when he's really one of the sheeple executive X. This causes unending problems because he expects everything to work out for him, and when it does, he assumes that means he's really the hero. Thus far he's lucked through arcs one and two with the tremendous help from real hero Reinhart (who showed up on his own whim) and with the incredible assistance of Betty, Rem/Ram and Roswall. Unfortunately subaru still thinks he's Bruce Willis.

Good shit.
>THEY WANT TO KNOW TRUE INSANITY!
>>144004699
I'm going to attempt to take your post seriously.
>Subaru and Emilia
Subaru in the first 5 seconds of the fucking show is characterized by longing for romance. When given his second chance in a new world, he encounters Emilia and thinks he's got a shot. This is helped by him later saving her life and shacking up in Roswaal's mansion. If you haven't picked up on this, Subaru declared romantic love for Rem and Ram as well. And yes, it is romantic love, that's how it's actually translated. He's irrational, impulsive, desperate, and way too eager to prove he's not a useless sack of shit. So that's why he's so obsessive around this chick who just gave him the time of day.
>Subaru and the cult (what I assume is 10 billion fighters?)
They're getting to it.
>The mansion denizens
Roswaal actually owns the mansion, and he picked up Rem and Ram with the express intention of using them to do his bidding because they're so powerful. He's one of the most powerful sorcerers out there so yes, he's loaded.
>Why is there a pack of magic death dogs killing everyone?
They're getting to it.
>A bunch of assassins
Wait, didn't you already ask this?
And even though I say, "they're getting to it", you can't put two and two together and see there's this massive power vacuum in the nation spelled out for you, and not suspect some foul shit going on in the background?

Thing is, your example seems to support the idea that the story revolves on both Reinhard and Subaru, when it only seems to be on Subaru alone, and such an idea shouldn't be allowed since it constrains the setting unneededly.
The comparisons with Bruce is solid, but fantasy should be more expansive than a Hollywood flick. That's basically my issue with Re:zero, as well as in other isekai stories.
Hakomari is a far better time loop story.
Too bad it doesn't have the video game elements that appeal to teenagers.

I don't get it. I usually feel nothing because I know it will be reset by the next episode so his angst feels unwarranted.

Either way, 1 volume alone is better than the entire Re:Zero anime so far, and by some distance.

he is talking about Kino/movie/flick distinction with kino being the top and not about the anime Kino
>>144007389
Shouldn't Subaru feel the same way? I dont get why he'd breakdown when he knows he could just go back to a set point. It'd only really make sense for him to lose his mind when his check point moves to a spot that makes some things unfixable.
>>144007389
Well, you know, regular people can't just turn off their brain and stop caring about what happens to those close to them, even if they know there's a way to fix things.
Is it safe to post here for now?
I assume the cancerous part of the fanbase is in the other thread.
>>144007449
I think because Subaru is the shittiest person imaginable and if characters can still connect to him then theres hope for anyone watching, or something like that.
>>144007505
They're everywhere
>>144007508
While Subaru is shit, he is far from being the shittiest person out there.
>>144007505
This thread has the contrarian shitters instead.
>>144007500
actually he should just ignore reality and be numb to bad things since he has a reset. anxiety should only set in once he knows there is no fix.
>>144007486
I am glad your shit thread got deleted
>>144007559
>it's literally impossible to dislike this show
Seriously though, I think this show's characters and dialogue are fucking garbage, but this whole episode (especially the final scene) had 10/10 phenomenal directing.
>>144007508
>>144007467
>>144007475
but I think the fact that subaru is the shittiest person ever makes it so nobody would actually self-insert as him, because even your usual depressed poster doesn't think that low of himself.
>>144007389
This show is made for children who can self insert into it a lot better than for example people at the end of high school. The reset point doesn't matter. You can't tell me you didn't worry about the dbz characters when you were a kid although you knew that death is no issue.
>>144007543
Well, there's Satella who's the cause of it all.
>>144007589

Anon, there are people in these threads that call themselves "robots" and are proud of the fact that they are as autistic and fucked up as Subaru IN REAL LIFE
>>144007284
>tfw he's becoming Guts 2.0

hmmm, subaru is actually retarded, like really really fucking dumb, but he is not shittiest IMO.

>assburgers trying to fit shoes of mc
You know, humans aren't really emotionless logical gate machines. Just because you think you could 'solve' the situations eventually doesn't mean the journey wouldn't be fucking arduous.
It's also not any guarantee that just because you travel back in time each time you die, you can overcome any obstacle thrown at you. You just might end up dying endlessly.
>>144007676So when does the magical Negro rape him?
>>144007500
>regular people
He's not a regular person anymore. That's what they built up in the mansion. That is what that scene where he deliberately killed himself was about.
He had accepted that death is a tool and he can use it to his advantage. He was analytical, calculating and as a direct result he fixed everything.
Then, instead of learning from that experience, he just completely forgets about it and proceeds to be some angsty sperg.
It's like they built him up to be one character and then suddenly replaced him with an entirely different character who just happens to look the same.nice dubs though

This show is getting painful to watch, in a good way.
You guys are way too easily surprised. Is everyone here a teenager?
>>144008210
Wouldn't surprise me if there are underageb& ITT. This show really attracted people from all over.
are we hitting root a levels of depressing?

That thing at the end was Puck?
>>144008260
Of course there are. There are many 13+ year old kids browsing this site (heck, maybe even younger). Not much anyone can do about it. Guess I'm just old and annoyed by the fact how something that I thought was just decent is being clamored as one of the best moments in anime or whatnot. Whatever. I should know better than to rant here.
Thanks janitor.
>>144008303
Seems so. You can't trust the cute.
>>144008389
That's one way to admit you're an underage idiot.
>>144008389
You should spend less time shitposting and more time watching anime
>>144004295
Was this the suffering everyone was hyping about? WTF no one actually died he just reset.
This was a really good episode but Iam fucking disappointed with that green villain you faggots hyped so much.
>>144008448
No that's later, though the skinning alive was made up.
>>144008482
Aight sweet. No idea what your talking about skinning alive though.
>>144008448
Subaru is the one who suffers most
Like seriously how autistic are you
>>144008406
Stop trying to fit in honestly.
>>144008482
He reminds me of Kirihara from Rakudai and rape priest from DxD. Both characters were shit.
>>144008529
Oh well spoilers said in the scenes of this episode Rem was skinned alive in front of Subaru but it turns out some anons were just making shit up.
What the fuck was the thing at the end, jesus.
What the fuck was with the ice trap and it's relation to the the later death?
Who the fuck are the knife cultists?
It's question after question.
What anime is ths thread about?

>>144008706
boku no pico
>>144004699
I haven't read the LN or anything but they make it pretty obvious, or at least give you some hints to point you in some general direction.
>Why is Subaru's main life goal suddenly worshiping Emilia?
He likes her and considers her as a good friend. I don't recall him ever worshipping her. He does flirt and mess around with her though which != worshipping the last time I checked.
>Why does Subaru get killed by level 10 billion fighters who appear out of nowhere?
Schemes surrounding the succession/emilia being a half elf. Its not that they targeted Subaru directly, most of the times their true aim were the people he chose to hang around. Subaru was just collateral damage.
>Why is Emilia's mansion filled with special snowflake superpowered demons/clowns?
Succession candidates/dragon priests are special and thus it isn't strange for them to reside in special places.
>Why is there a pack of magic death dogs killing everyone?
They hint that someone is trying to mess with the roswal territory, it's implied that this is also tied to the succession/emilia.
>Why do 10 billion super-powered assassins come out of nowhere and slaughter absolutely everyone?
Succession/emilia.
Is it really that strange that people would try to assassinate a potential ruler?
>>144008565
Yeah, you're an underage idiot alright.
>>144008812
The lack of subtlety shouts to me.
Why not arsenic?
>>144008569
>rape priest from DxD
Same VA.
>>144008812
Not directly. But people here wants free handouts on the script.
>>144008885
>>The lack of subtlety shouts to me.
>Why not arsenic?
There would have to be a traitor for that sort of thing to work. There are only a handful of loyal supporters present at the mansion.
>>144008885
Becausehe hasn't read the LN and all his guesses are off. Off in sensible ways to be off, but off.
This is such a shit show

this isn't the savior of anime
it's not even the best anime of the season
>>144008947
Id assume my guesses aren't perfect since all the information isn't revealed yet. Can you show me something better with the info they give us in the anime?
>>144008847
Under what premise am I an underaged idiot? For calling you out for pretending to be an oldfag and your post for attention?
>Guess I'm just old and annoyed by the fact how something that I thought was just decent is being clamored as one of the best moments in anime or whatnot
Get real with yourself.
>>144008968
Trying to phrase it in a way that isn't a direct spoiler. But don't you think it's a bit coincidental that all this bad shit starts falling on Emilia, even at her powerful patron's guarded house, at exactly at the same time that Subaru is summoned into the world?
>>144009090
Yes, but there's not enough information for me to make a assertive statement about that. All I can say is that the 'witch' is up to something fishy. All we know at this point is that she's obsessed with this NEET isekaier
>>144009138
Someone hired Elsa.
This episode was so good I didn't want it to end
>>144006497
Call the police this man has cut me
>>144009204
Hands up, don't shoot.
>>144009184
Right, someone that wanted her to knab emilia's emblem. On the surface that points to some issue surrounding the succession but it's probably safe to say the witch is orchestrating something behind the scenes by placing subaru in certain times, with specific save points
We can then assume that everything thats happened to subaru is according to the witches plans.
His relationships with reiner, felt, emilia, roswall mansion peeps, etc. The way his personality changes as well.
>>144007727
>It's also not any guarantee that just because you travel back in time each time you die, you can overcome any obstacle thrown at you. You just might end up dying endlessly.
If you think that MC won't Advanced with every reset or that anyone on this planet would ever right such a story xou're literally beyond retarded. You obtained advanced autism to misjudge a anime aimed at young man like this.
>>144009395
*advance
*write
*you're
I didn't want this.
Why does kadokawa try to shill it so much?
Not that I dislike the series because it's quite entertaining but it still boggles my mid
>>144008960
>The pacing is fucked because every event that gets Subaru killed needs 5-6 episodes so the plot goes nowhere
Still better than Higurashi and Endless Eight.
>The giant mood swings from ecchi comedy to edgylord massacre are extremely jarring
It's just your opinion.
>There is no reason for anything happening (Subaru following the whatever her name was etc.) Subaru could just live his life in peace
Maybe. But the purple claw comes out and grabs him. And it counts as happened.
>Subaru is a whiny cunt who doesn't use his power properly
Because he's not like a certain mad scientist?
>Subaru suddenly mentally breaks despite having already died 30 times and having seen his friends die earlier as well
Someone in Youtube tried to simulate a terrorist kidnapped him and his friend and "killed" him right in front of his friend. He almost got PTSD until he hugged his friend tight and repeatedly said that "I'm still alive". I'd say Subaru mentally broken down is what an average person would react and he still didn't get used to it.
>The plot gains nothing from Subaru being from Japan and referencing JRPG/anime shit - it's all just pandering
I'm sorry that you didn't find this appealing to you.
>>144009395
That's a meta argument that is invalid to the topic at hand. It's your preconceived notion of what is ever going to be acceptable for a writer to write. An author could indeed choose to have a bad end happen to your precious MC in the form of powerlessness in the face of this ridiculous world he has created. Whether that would make a good story or not is up to debate, but you are throwing away a in-world realities and the possibility of it happening because of your silly knowledge of tropes and narratives. You are robbing yourself of the suspense by disregarding such possibilities with such a meta argument.
Also, fuck off.
>>144009735
Your argument would qualify people worrying about MC getting a heart attack just because its possible. This is genuine autism you have going on there. If you have to use such pretentious "Arguments" to defend this show it shows that you are actually aware of it being worse than mediocre.
>Subaru still act mindbreak when he can reset everything
>Take him 2-3 loop again to actually do something
God all this forced drama really painful to watch
>>144009735
I rather you fuck off with your autism.
I like this show and respect that others don't like whatever I like
>>144009971
Then don't. Are you watching this not by choice?
>>144009971
I want to drop it but it's impossible now, I watched too many episodes of this trash to not see how it ends.
>>144009846
>... qualify ...
Qualify for what?
Heart attack is a plot device that is used many a time succesfully. If you imagine it being used to instantly stop a story with no build up to it, yes, it would probably make a bad story.
Also, you have no idea what words pretentious or autism mean, do you?
WERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION:
Is Rem a yandere?
>>144009971
Except he can't reset everything, retard. Watch the last episode. 0/10 bait.
>>144009971
The autism on this board is astounding. Who wouldn't be somewhat affected after seeing a whole village slaughtered?
>>144010047
Rem is a shitdere.
>>144010073
What? this episode is wasted on Subaru moaning Rem death as if she die forever.
He already know his power can active even though he suicide
How many more times will Rem have to die?
>>144010187
ALL
>>144010155
Do you ever consider his feelings when he saw that? Of course not, you're just watching.
The director did a really good job in this episode, but the story is kinda all over the place
>>144010122
Nah she is just shit like all the girls in this anime. It honestly has no redeeming qualities.
>>144010222
Aspies can't do that. Don't ask the impossible.
>>144010155
You know he has to actually prevent this shit from happening now, right? Also, how does he know the save point didn't move?
I'm actually liking the fact that the show isnt too watered down
Gives me a sliver of hope about Youjo senki
>>144010234
But it's edgy and mature for people such as myself.
>>144010252
Youjo senki won't heave the same power of shill
>>144009735
>>144010046
Not the guy you're talking too, but you're plain retarded. There's nothing wrong with liking this show, but the way you're trying to make it something that it isn't is disgusting. Stop posting.
>>144006584
>>144010303
What do you think i'm trying to make it?
Anon posted a fucking retarded argument and I countered it.
>>144010238
Neither does toddlers. But fair point.
>>144010222
lmao it's not like this is the first time Rem is killed, if he a bit more competent, he will do something after his first death
>>144010366
Saying that one has to acknowledge every possible way the plot COULD go to be able to enjoy it is just stupid. This show isn't good, because Subaru COULD get fucked in X ways or be unable to overcome an obstacle is wrong. If you're thinking like that you could literally project that mentality to any anime.
>Hurr Durr pls watch pokemon, Pikachu could kill Ash at the end, it's good.
See how fucking stupid it is? If you don't enjoy the show for what it is instead of trying to protect it from critic you can leave this board right away. This isn't a complex anime. It simply isn't. And considering that it's a Isekai story, the story will obviously not end with Subaru losing. The whole genre isn't like that. Arguing that it could happen and that that makes it good is plain stupid.
>>144010106
you don't understand good anon, for I have watched 1000's of anime. I don't have time for Subaru to be crying over people he has become attached too that we have seen in the previous episodes! No time at all, I want Subaru to do my "self-insert" apathetic and non-emotional thoughts because other wise it would beforced drama.
I feel odd after watching that. I feel that i need to talk about it but i have no words.
>>144010523
I'm saying in the in-world domain it's fairly a likely scenario that a NEET who just keeps dying again and again is going to fail. When you rob yourself of this suspense by notion that author wouldn't let it happen, you are setting yourself up to failure to enjoy the show.
There's a world of difference between this and your silly example of random heart attack, which in this universe would respawn MC anyway.
You are failing to respect the in-world rules and the narrative by considering the meta of writing and tropes. You should probably get drunk and then watch this if you can't otherwise.
>>144010490
Please don't equate every MC has to be competent to get that MC title.
I mean, look at >>144010651
To him, MC must be an asshole Kirito and Onii-sama or it won't be worth watching.
>>144010651
Why Subaru doesn't act like Sasuke and don't care about his friends dying? Why can't Reinhardt be the MC?
