Absolutely nothing that happened in this episode of Re:Zero made any sense.
>Subaru falls in love with his two killers who ruin his life and break his last shards of remaining sanity because they're cute maid waifus >he says his heart belongs to Emilia and literally 20 minutes later confesses his love to Ram and Rem because reasons >Ram attacks Subaru and destroys the mansion for no fucking reason and with absolutely zero proof because DRAMA >Subaru kills himself and vows to save Ram and Rem, the two people who are responsible for all his terrible and gruesome deaths and torture because what the fuck
Clearly the author's intention was to cover up his shoddy writing with excessive shock value and gore, and it's clearly working.
There are """""""people"""""""""' on Sup Forums right now that are disliking Re:zero
Jason Edwards
I agree OP I feel like people only like this cause 'muh gore' and 'muh timeloop'
Jayden Collins
Hi secondary, You'll learn soon
Evan Cook
>The original material is better, I swear! Everytime.
Colton Cruz
Calm down Lord Chillidog. Love doesnt always have to be in a romantic sense. Thats reserved for Emilia. The other is for friends and family, those you care for in general. Ram does NOT destroy the mansion. Subaru must reset the loop because he cares about them enough to leap to his death and thereafter make a damn difference.
Nathan Brown
Source material: LIGHT NOVEL
Caleb Wilson
That's not Sakamoto
Angel Kelly
That's not Macross Δ.
Camden Thompson
He wants to save his killers because he worked a couple of days alongside them
How stupid is this guy and show
Aiden Miller
It DOES make sense. You just lack the deductive ability to identify it.
Joshua Lewis
But they are CUTE And CUTE girls are always to be protected!
EQUALITY
Nicholas Lee
Why doesnt he leave the mansion on the first day?
He could avoid certain death and drama
Jeremiah Reyes
That's not bread and lolis.
Benjamin Clark
Since you're a filthy secondary I'll fill you in on the detail and spoil you mildly
He actually has crippling depression, from the get-go he calls himself an "ugly person" not to mention later on in the series he constantly calls himself trash, stupid, weak and useless. The more cheery and meme-spouting he is, that farther away he is from his actual personality.
While it is mostly for his father to blame, the reason why he is so happy and excited for the new world and why he is so clingy to the people around him was due to the fact its a new life and a fresh start. He can finally make a name for himself rather than live up to his father, not to mention they were the first people who treated him kindly, and a place he can call "home" a place of his own, basically, Subaru still loves them nonetheless. He felt detached thus his reasons for wanting to work so hard in this world and dying for others was to have a place where he could belong. He wanted to have something that was his and his alone that he could work for instead of being in the shadows of someone else. He has a chance. Could have been early in the story but I guess better late than never, right?
Jonathan King
You seem to have made the mistake of picking up LN trash aimed at actual fucking retards, and falling for the bullshit the ESL-fags spew about how "this one is totally awesome and any plot hole and inconsistencies are totally accounted for in the spoilers of volume 19 that I don't understand but read on animesuki and shitpost about here anyways! If you don't like it you're a secondary!"
Never ever listen to ESL LNfags. They are the worst posters on this board.
>Clearly the author's intention was to cover up his shoddy writing with excessive shock value and gore, and it's clearly working. Very good, you figured out the empty hook the series uses to convince retards it has anything worth watching/reading. Now you can drop it.
David Rivera
The writing is brilliant. Re-read (no pun-intended) it if you dont understand.
Jeremiah Collins
I see you're seasonal NEET-pandering show.
Levi James
You don't know what love is, do you? Just because you love your pets doesn't mean you gotta fuck them.
Carter Turner
Hyper stupid
>tfw the seiyuu is known for voicing the most questionably written LN MCs
Dammit
>using LNfag logic as bait
Please don't
Hunter Ross
It's not romantic love, you faggot. And after this arc Ram will be mostly written out of the story.
Landon Gonzalez
Why doesnt he just go find his "new family" elsewhere?
Im pretty sure he could find some people who dont want to murder him
Christian Richardson
I call bait. There is no one this retarded in the world. 6/10
Benjamin Clark
>Subaru falls in love with his two killers who ruin his life and break his last shards of remaining sanity because they're cute maid waifus He spent a lot of time with them and he enjoyed it. Plus, with the previous timeloop, he understood that Rem didn't want to kill him per say, more or less that she was obligated to do so. >he says his heart belongs to Emilia and literally 20 minutes later confesses his love to Ram and Rem because reasons There can be different kinds of love. Just because you love one person doesn't mean you cannot treasure other people as well. >Ram attacks Subaru and destroys the mansion for no fucking reason and with absolutely zero proof because DRAMA Dude ran away after being questioned regarding the sister's death and was obviously quite suspicious in their eyes (the very reason he was killed again and again until) >Subaru kills himself and vows to save Ram and Rem, the two people who are responsible for all his terrible and gruesome deaths and torture because what the fuck See first answer, he came to like them and he decide to use his ability to do his best to save them.
If you don't understand, it might be because the timeloop creates a gap between Subaru's own feelings and the other characters' ones because he lived things like they didn't, which can make the development look rushed.
Brayden Torres
I like the show but I could interpret as he realized the maids arent the mastermind however that doesnt change the fuck they killed him before.
Nathaniel Phillips
That didnt explain anything
Jose Foster
>Defending LN writing in bait form to fan the fires
>defending LN writing unironically
Not sure which is worse
Robert Nguyen
My condolensces. You must have failed the standard English course back in middle school. Because your reading comprehension is certainly sub-par.
Chase Richardson
Because he can't ignore people that showed him kindness for the first time in his life. Unless you're a psycho/sociopath.
Chase Moore
Even though it was fake kindness?
Connor Martinez
Here come the LN shit eaters now
Kevin Lee
Its not a LN though, its a WN. A well written one at that.
Actually, the manga. Mangas are most usually my first.
Kevin Smith
Sure mang.
He's that lonely a NEET.
Christian Price
>well written
lol
Logan Bailey
btfo
Noah Scott
Who else would it be if it's not the maids? Roswaal? Surely they wouldn't introduce a new character as the mastermind, because that would be fucking stupid.
Camden Cook
That fake kindness turn to some real kindness soon.
Robert Wilson
>gets the shit beaten out of him >muh Emilia-tan
I fucking hate this guy
Jacob Gutierrez
I haven't read any of the source, but what I have gathered so far is that Subaru was a hikki before going to this world likely without any friends. He knows that if he plays his cards right, he can convince everyone at the mansion that he's not a suspicious dude, and he's motivated by the close bonds he's had with them because they are the closest thing he's ever had to having friends.
Matthew Wilson
Depression and an inferiority complex does thing to people user.
Benjamin Allen
Tip for anyone looking to avoid cancerous fanbases on Sup Forums for future series Vocal LNfags praising like the next coming of Jesus and of course they will blame the studio and not the source material in case it turns out to be shit (like 95% of LN adaptations ever)
Dominic Carter
Retards. Retards everywhere.
Sebastian Roberts
You mean that fake kindness turns to real murder soon
Which it does, and he knows it
Ryan Campbell
I am honestly baffled by the steadily decreasing level of literacy and ability to read context on this board. It's like you all are actually autistic and it's not just what you tell your social worker to get autismbux.
Subaru said he loves them, but it is in the same way you love a dear friend, or a family member. He only truly loves Emilia romantically. This actually becomes a problem for Rem later on when she falls for him.
Adam Jackson
See Now tell me that isn't depth to character. Not to mention all of the other things this user left out.
Chase Nelson
I liked the loli with drills. She was nice enough sadly she doesnt seem part of his harem but good to know she was dependable enough.
Michael Cooper
>Subaru said he loves them, but it is in the same way you love a dear friend, or a family member He never said it like that
Hunter Roberts
Re:Zero is the Grimgar of the season after all.
Sebastian Lee
>>Ram attacks Subaru and destroys the mansion for no fucking reason and with absolutely zero proof because DRAMA he's a suspicious guy if you actually thought about it
Hudson Gomez
There is nothing wrong with finding your would-be killer(s) hot according to Big Order MC. Guys love a challenge after all.
Camden Watson
Thank you for not being a socially incompetent simpleton
Lucas Morris
He literally says that in the WN
Jose Lee
Macross Alt-J?
Benjamin Hernandez
>You don't understand guys >They have a tragic backstory/trauma that explains all of their retarded choices and makes poor characterization ok! Fucking love this meme. Never change, LNfags.
Hudson Robinson
He just shouted "I love you guys!" If you were socally capable then you would see that that implied rooted friendship nd selfless care.
Jace Stewart
Literally Ieddit anime.
Lincoln James
grimgar got some merits
re:zero is just fanservice, is more like sao
Aiden Walker
when someone has been treated like shit for their entire lives they're going to get attached to the first person who shows them kindness
Aaron Garcia
So, why not lie about his powers and about his reasons to stay on the mansion? I mean, he could say it was some kind of clairvoyance instead of respawn, and he could say that he was looking for Roswall and the knowledge in the library in order to get rid of the stench.
Jayden Jones
It's what he means. Have you never told your family that you love them? Are there no people in your life you honestly wouldn't grieve if they were to pass? To him Emilia is always #1, but he cares about others too.
Aiden White
Grimgar is boring shit, this is bad But its entertaining at least
Ethan Young
All choices are understandable. You just shit on it because "HEH LN GUYS" when it's not a LN originally.
Matthew Rivera
>Subaru falls in love with his two killers who ruin his life and break his last shards of remaining sanity because they're cute maid waifus You wouldn't? get the fuck off of Sup Forums
Cooper Russell
Not that simple either man. I suspect its his character too. He's very soft, very accepting. But vulnerable all the same. Just a good guy.
Camden Thomas
Only Sup Forums can gather enough autists that aren't able to distinguish love.
Caleb Watson
Anybody got the translation of Beatrice's reaction after Subaru commited suicide?
Jacob Evans
>brilliant are you fucking serious, the show is stupid, half of Subaru's actions don't make sense and the only reason he does this shit is cause he wants to bone Emilia who he only met for a brief time
Evan Smith
This is what happens when you try to smash a bunch of routes together.
Nathaniel Evans
grimgar anime had very bad pacing and low budget
Carter Ortiz
>look at me being contrarian guys!
Ryan Hill
Unless you are an autist and can't understand empathy/social cues that should have been enough to explain his behavior
Josiah Sullivan
What's with all the praise for this episode not including from this obvious bait thread of course.
Oh wow. Suffering and edgyshit. Is this supposed to impress anybody?
Jayden Baker
>Rem and Ram held his hands when he was having a nightmare
I guess that's why he decided to suicide. He noticed they weren't heartless people, they were simply being cautious of him because of his smell and not wanting anything to happen to the people they care for.
Elijah James
>All choices are understandable >He's an emotionally crippled NEET (like me!) so him being a complete fucking retard and making poor decisions at every turn is ok >As long as he suddenly does a super badass sacrifice things and saves everyone at the end! No, you're right though. Poor characters and characterization is totally fine if you cover it up with a sob story and label it as trauma.
Jonathan Campbell
They do, but it's not what you think. Seriously read the spoiler pasta if you can't wait a few weeks.
Leo Foster
Subaru is unable to talk about specific information but is he allowed to talk about the fact that he can't talk?
Jaxon Nguyen
>1st people calling it the 2nd SAO and a Konosuba clone with an annoying MC >this episode hits >everyone jumps ship and starts calling it edgyshit
Never change, Sup Forums.
Tyler Miller
nice bait
Luke James
I don't understand your post. Are you saying I'm (first post) full of shit? Because you obviously don't understand. There was not even once a single mark of sexual attraction between him and the maids. It's just one-sided friendship.
Charles Smith
I am serious. You must be an autist. Hello, nice to meet you. Im Leroy Jenkins. Dont hurt yourself, okay?
Hudson Roberts
>story contains suffering and gore >instantly crowned edgy and darkness
Complaining just for the sake of complaining are we?
Angel Williams
He says "俺はお前らを大好きだってことだよ!" in the last scene. "Suki" and "daisuki" can be used for friends, romantic partners, and other loved ones equally, which sometimes causes confusion, but clearly since "omaera" (you all) is plural, he's saying that he likes them as a family, not that he's going to be his dick into everyone.
Luis Hughes
Subaru needs to stop obsessing about cute girls and ask for more information about the damn witch.
Leo Gomez
Compared to this show's edge for the sake of edge?
Asher Sullivan
>look at me! >i can be like the epic youtube reviewers too!!!
David Morris
>Trust me man! Just read these epic incorrect spoilers and you'll understand why it's actually awesome!
Zachary James
>mfw people in this thread don't know that Subaru is the main villain
Julian Bailey
>b-but in the Light Novel!! Overlord's LNfags were a lot less toxic, I miss those threads.
Aaron Baker
There's no point in dealing with retards like you. You'd claim the sky is green if it could allow you to stop being on the same side as "the other idiots".
Benjamin Morales
Your mom and dad love you, you think they want to have sex with you too?
Love has more then one meaning.
Ryan Gonzalez
this. it boggles my mind why some people don't understand this.
Isaac Morales
I thought that was Bakuon.
Christian Hughes
You must be an autist as well. We've all been saying that this isnt the sexual attraction type of love. It IS friendship. They care about him too. Read social cues man.
Angel Parker
I rewatched this episode because I liked it so much.
Brayden Walker
Okay, so we are in accord, you must have just misread me or I must have been bad at expressing myself.
Bentley Garcia
>Subaru is the main villain Im curious. Is that true? is for the witch they mentioned?
Charles Miller
>toxic
Joshua Robinson
Im still wondering how this started. I started with the manga but nonetheless, I completely understand what went on. But this? How do misunderstanding like this occur?
