I can only think of one anime that actually answered that question - the Higurashi series,

...

Screw that. I want a story with somebody on the receiving end of a time loop. Events repeat over and over, and someone realizes this and tries to escape, but they just can't because they aren't the one controlling the loop.

But Higurashi already does that...from Rika's point of view

The maids definitely are cute, but I would have liked more Emilia and Puck, and Beatrice. The ending seems to hint that the killer is the same crazy woman as last time. Hopefully Barusu will try to ally himself with Beatice, and perhaps Puck, for the next attempt.

I don't think so. It sounded like some big weapon was being dragged along the floor, not a dagger. And it took an arm off instead of aiming for his bowels

Thanks, please keep posting these.
It seems like Kadakowa is removing the old episodes after a while (1 and 2 are down now, 3 is still active and linked from the official website).

I think this thread is stuck in a loop of repeating the same arguments and counterarguments over and over. Let's discuss how we should have posted to avoid this.

I feel like this anime was meant to target people like me, because I'm so curious about what'll happen that I want to buy and read the volumes.

I'm the kind of person they make anime adaptations for. This month alone I've bought Dagashi Kashi, Flying Witch, and Tanaka. I bought 5 volumes of Devil is a Part Timer I haven't read because of the anime. Same for Rokka, though I've actually read 4 of the 5 volumes.

This poo poo works.

Same here.

I bought the first 3 volumes and just finished the first one. So far, the anime has stuck really closely to the source material. So far the only important changes were that the epilogue (Subaru is knocked out, Emilia talks with Reinhart) was a bit longer.
Also all scenes of Subaru dying are kind of :gonk: with him describing how he can slowly feel his life fading, his organs and senses shutting down one by one until he finally dies. Abusing his death-reset-ability really isn't an option with how horrible dying feels, so his decision in the current episode is kind of a big thing.

You know the whole thing (and 4x more than the paper version) is available for free at http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2267be/ right? I mean, you'd miss out on the illustrations, I guess.

I know, the author even mentions it in his afterword.
But I also bought the Log Horizon and Kumoko novels even though all of them are available on Narou.

Most of that is from from the LN, only that exchange happened during the breakfast in episode 4, not outside in the garden (unless they repeat it later?).


And while we're talking about right under our noses...here's the cover of the second novel:

It's really depressing to look at my post history and see all these dead youtube links, though.

What's up with the "we've only met twice" bit at the beginning? I though Beatrice could remember Subaru? And it's not referencing other break time episodes either, because this is the first episode with her.

Going to the village probably didn't influence that directly. If anything changed Roswaal's opinion, it would be the nighttime talk with Ram.

So the helmet guy is called Aldebaran? This is either the author being lazy at thinking up names, or foreshadowing.

"Hoshi" can either mean "Star" or "Want" iirc it's an i-adjective.

Her name is written ホーシン (Houshin) though, with a long 'o'. So it's probably not supposed to have anything to do with either of those words.

What's up with all the :tinfoil: about characters becoming other characters in the story? It's like the opposite of Occam's Razor.

Characters turning out to be the same person from different points in time is just a thing time travel stories do. You can take it too far, though...

You guys are awfully optimistic that this is the end of Subaru's bad day, given that the camera pointedly cuts away before the sword hits him. It seems way more likely that Emilia saves him and we get a deeply unpleasant episode of brain trembling and finger chewing.

No he should be dead, because the author said this while livewatching the episode:

Yeah what did Felis hit him with anyway, a reverse heal or something?

Same tweet. It causes the water in the body do run out of control, which eventually leads to death.

I'm still behind quite a bit, but I've been reading the light novel version. Does that also cut anything important from the web novel, or can I just continue on with the web novel when I eventually catch up?
