Why was she not more popular?

Why was she not more popular?

she got outshined by the star named rem

Nobody gives a shit about that bland elf

Is this a bait thread?

>star
you mean otaku bait?

Because despite murdering the MC, Rem was an infinitely better romantic interest

I like her more than Rem

Emilia is the shallow man's choice

Because she is a literal doormat

>Why would she? Generic damsel in distress characters are boring. Her design won't help her much.

I dropped the show but wasn't the entire plot about how incompatible she and the MC were?

That part of their interaction is seriously explored ony in story arcs that take place after the anime ended

She was supposed to be the centerpiece of the show but hogging the spotlight without having anything actually going for her ultimately backfired

the other arcs also show how incompatible they are. the more we learn about her and the more the MC develops the less their relationship does make sense

That same anime also has Ram and Rem.

Ram a shit, though.

She looks cute, but it's a pretty bland character tbqh

Yes but it becomes explict only from Arc 4 onwards
>Otto calling him out for chasing a delusion
>Subaru's relationship with Emilia explictly not progressing
>Subaru slipping in his commitment to Emilia in favor of Rem
All of this only happens after the anime

it is
>developed woman (despite being very young mentally)
vs
>author's waifubait

emilia has ambitions of her own, can and will get angry at you if you lie to her and will not fall in love with you just because you are a "nice guy". expect otakus to have PTSD tier flashbacks of being ignored by real women when she is on screen.

rem is a completely empty shell (in the anime atleast) whose only visible traits are loyalty and devotion. being the author's waifubait, she is in permalove with the MC and will do anything for him no matter what he does from now on. bonus for brutally killing the MC, which will actually score her points with the masochistic otakus.

>emilia
>not waifubait
she just feels like most main girls. Everyone likes a side girl more but the author likes the main girl more so he just bullies the other girl as much as possible before shipping the MC with maingirl

The point is those two are way better than Emilia. You can argue that with me about Ram but I doubt you can argue with me about Rem.

Because she's a shit girl and people that like her should be beheaded.

She's a bitch, she should worship the ground Subaru walks on, but instead she is haughty.

- Subaru

Found the slut

>pretending to have watched the show
any normal person would get angry about lies, the funny thing is that Emilia thought h
she was at fault. Subaru never lied to Rem so she never had reasons to be angry at first place and yet she's the only character that will act against Subaru's bad sides.

At least Ram made me care enough to hate her for loving that shitbag of a clown.

Only true patricians can appreciate EMT.

Well for me its solely because the more I got to know about Emilia and how overpowered she is the less I seem to like her. As despite being so strong she still needs to be babysitted and saved, as well as a damsel in distress. Then there is her Witch bloodline that's fishy as fuck. Plus her motives more or less being half-assed, especially the king candidacy.

She was missing during the better arcs of the show.

Lack of screentime

She is absolutely stunning, but in early teen years you still live in that absurd fantasy that personality is also relevant; given that all other waifu are hot as well, they went for the most obvious waifubait of them all.

>being this wrong

Ram fucks clown cock she is the worst girl

Isn't it time for your daily BCC session, Ram?

At least I have something to do you useless dunce

She was claimed by an unchallenged alpha male. Little beta Remfags are everywhere, but only the best males can challenge him for EMT.

>being that desperate for clown's cock.

She's too vanilla for this series, she was pretty popular before Rem but even Puck, Beatrice and Ram rank higher now.

Because it's an actual case of a relatively realistic girl (personality-wise, that is) being put up against a more genericized idealistic woman - which others derisively refer to as 'waifubait' - who would normally be the heroine of an isekai (Rem) and people end up flocking to her instead.

Fuck you nee-sama is amazing. The clown just needs to die first and to find her own Subaru.

Emilia is precious, it's not hard to see why subaru pretty much temporally broke after seeing her die a couple times.

Please stop posting upside-down claims

what's a BCC session?

What part of Emilia's personality realistic? She thought kissing made babies fuck sakes and her good girl personality.

Because she's a dirty socialist and will ruin her country if given the throne.

A period of time in which Ram inserts Roswaal's 30cm cock all the way into her vaginal cavity.

BCC stands for Big Clown Cock

Yeah it's totally Ram's fault for not being able to choose who she should have fallen in love with. Like seriously user, that's not how love works. You can't make Ram love another guy just because you hate Roswaal.

Barely in the show.

>She was claimed by an unchallenged alpha male

Well youre right about that. Regulus and arguably Arch did claim her.

Because her body was too explosively hot for the Nips. They needed something younger and flatter.

ok, thanks

I dont give a fuck. Ram turned into such a bastard because of the clown that she was even willing to throw Rem under the bus and became such a doormat that she willingly lets herself get killed by him. The faster the clown dies the better.

>Why was she not more popular?
Because there wasn't enough information about her character, she is hardly seen throughout the series, she complained about the main character caring too much for her and she's got no personality.
Give it some time, she will eventually become waifu material, not better then Rem but still waifu material nonetheless.

It would be better is she did to be honest, Gaaf was coming real close but he pussied out and his love was just platonic

>she complained about the main character
Yes, he was an overprotective white knight. She couldnt take a shit without suberu walking in and offering to lick her butthole clean.

Not him but to be fair that would be an accurate statement as of arc 4. Unlike the anime Emilia was flubbing during her speech which then had Subaru try to defend her. Not saying his spergout on episode 13 was justified but Emilia really wasnt able to handle pressure to which Subaru had to step in.

...

...

fucking moby dick man, killing dank waifus like theresia.

Echidna Maji Tenshi?

>Emilia really wasnt able to handle pressure to which Subaru had to step in.
I didnt read the books but if you fumble a speech its btter to just bear it than have someone else stand up for you. It will just show you cannot hold a speech to the point someone else feels the need to stand up and defend you.
If you fuck up a speech, would you want someone to stand up and say youre perfect and everything is okay?

Just felt like posting some new ones.

I had typeset this one too.

Why did they give Elsa the best design but she was barely involved.

I'll spell it out for you Sup Forums
A lot of you are kids that don't get it
Others are inexperienced permavirgins
And the remainder are literal retards

Emilia is a complete and whole person. She knows her place in life, who she is, and what she wants.

Rem is a broken individual who views herself as the less half of her sister. Until Subaru came around she was fine just following around her sister to whatever end.

Subaru is also a broken person, who masquerades his weaknesses with false bravado instead of owning them and growing. This is why Emilia sees through him and is repelant to him.

If a broken person loves a person who is whole, then all that person does it take pieces away from that whole person.

Broken people are naturally attracted to each other, because they can give each other of being whole by filling in where each other lacks. This is an illusion, and inevitably these couples fall apart. It's given Rem a hope for a future that will likely never happen, because of how broken Subaru is.

At best, Subaru and Rem can nurse each other's wounds and shortcomings. If the two of them learn, grow, and become self dependent maybe they could work. I'm willing to bet Subaru changes slower than Rem, and she leaves him.

>She knows her place in life, who she is, and what she wants.
I laughed IRL

She comes back later.

ROASTED ELSA

How hard was elsa at that scene?

People love Emilia, it's just that Rem overshadowed them in the anime because of the 2nd and 3rd arc.

No worries, I like Rem too but she's a literal who now, it's time for Emilia to take the show.

After the following 3 story arcs where she does get to do shit and still is far behind the potato I'd say that it's a lost cause

Because people especially Remfags got jealous and mad 'cause Emilia was being in the spotlight while Rem was nowhere to be found in the most important scene of the series so far (pic related). It makes sense though because Subaru's feelings for Rem aren't even strong to begin with so of course Subaru wouldn't mention or even think about Rem in that scene, but Remfags love to think otherwise.

If anyone didn't notice, this is a parody post

No it's not. Stop trying to reject the truth Remfags.

Well, you're not completely wrong. Every Re:Zero female is waifubait.
That includes Emilia and Rem, of course.

because she was a shit.
it's pretty simple.

Crusch

>Emilia is a complete and whole person. She knows her place in life, who she is, and what she wants.
That's literally wrong on every account. She's literally missing some of her most important memories, she's emotionally dependent on Puck, and she's just sort of doing things because people told her she might be able to get a miracle out of it.

>Subaru slipping in his commitment to Emilia in favor of Rem
Does it look like Rem's going to win the Subarubowl in the end?

Nope. Subaru loves Emilia too so.

You're just going to get biased opinions from asking that. He's probably going to end up paying more attention to Rem for awhile after she wakes up. If she's not too disoriented to use that time effectively, she'll probably make some kind of progress.

Crusch isn't, Anastasia isn't.

Subaru's relationship with Rem wound up getting more spotlight and was developed much better overall in the material shown in the anime, whereas in the back half of the anime Emilia either isn't around or around but not doing much to endear the audience to her. This is, of course, because Rem goes away for a while after the material the anime covers so she kind of had to have a lot of stuff happen with her before that.

I'd imagine that if a season 2 ever happens Emilia will become at least a little more popular among the fanbase.

because the author fucked up

Rem's self-esteem will be struck hard as she learns about how everyone risked their life just to save her ass. So most likely Rem won't dare make any move on Subaru after she wakes up, especially when it might upset Emilia, who should be considered Rem's savior by that time.

Wtf is with your reasoning. It's simply because she's hardly interesting to most people. Btw that's not even the most important scene lol "From Zero" is.

>It makes sense though because Subaru's feelings for Rem aren't even strong to begin

A perfect example of being deluded.

Emilia is a fetish character pandering to purityfags. Problem is, pretty much no one is a purityfag. Not even in Japan.

No one?
They were apparently strong enough that someone felt they had to be toned down in the LN.

>shallow character development
>acts like a total bitch and doesn't see the bigger picture despite having it more or less explained to her
>MC is unwaveringly faithful to her despite other characters treating him better

>Emilia to take the show

You realize the rest of the arc is still her being damsel in distress? Plenty of people already read past Arc 4 or 5 and her popularity hardly changed.

how big would the butthurt be if felix won

That's gay.

Well, that's a natural problem. Subaru is the main character, and has very little direct power. Emilia has a shit ton of raw power.

So, how can Subaru be useful? Why does Emilia need him at all? Scenarios have to be manufactured to explain this. Emilia needs to be sorely lacking in some traits if she needs Subaru to compensate for them.

>Emilia needs to be sorely lacking in some traits

She's dumb as a brick.

Subaru will make moves though. Subaru Rem isn't one sided like the other relationship.

No screentime.

Hardly toned down actually. The confession and Carmilla scene is still around. Other than that one small scene that was cut, everything else about her is still intact.

There's a AU in which Subaru and Rem decided to run away in ep 18. They got married and had 2 kids and were overall very happy despite feeling regret for giving up. So if these two get together at some point in the MU they won't break up.

what did he mean by this?
