ViggyNash posted:I remember whiplashing on this show because I really liked the first half and really hated the second half. I really want to see where this story goes though. It's got some really solid hooks. For me the issue that Subaru is a significantly less interesting character when he's confidently succeeding with his plans. When they beat the whale in particular is where my interest really started to drop.

I think we talked about this in the VN thread at some point but I agree with Ytala that Alternative just kind of loses steam like halfway through. Lot of repetition too- I remember there being many dull and long fake science lectures to sit through in particular. I liked Extra/Unlimited better.

Maybe Ram is starting to remember the loops because her name is Random Access Memory. Rem's name of course, refers to "rem" sleep and she's currently in a coma and that's kind of like sleeping. It's all in the names.

I'm now convinced that Ram > Rem Ram: -Says "Ha" -Will be cute even when a grandma -Doesn't need no demon horn -Gives out nicknames Rem: -Too sleepy to even bother defending herself -Completely forgotten by society -Has demon horn. That's weird. -Gives out no nicknames, must not be very creative -Losing the Subarubowl to Emilia Raxivace fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Aug 20, 2020 |

drat, Ram is willing to go against society's prejudices in the name of love, sounds badass.

^That does kind of make me wonder what a fan-edit of Re:Zero that only has Subaru's final loops would feel like. Intentionally decoupling the viewer from Subaru's perspective might be interesting.

There's only one food that I believe Subaru truly loves, and that's He Wei Dao noodles. Anything else isn't canon.

Yeah these kinds of stories naturally draw comparison to video game logic (I’ve even seen non-anime examples like Run Lola Run being described this way), but if anything Re:Zero is about why trying to game your way through loops without a care (That is, through life) isn’t actually viable. Like most of Subaru’s problems/deaths don’t even seem to come from Bad Isekai RNG, but rather his own inability to pay enough attention to both the world and the feelings of the people around him.

I think we should wage war against The Sea, personally. For too long it has been one of the natural predators of mankind, drowning us at nearly every opportunity. Sending strange, tentacled beasts after us. Giving safe passage to hurricanes onto our shores. Stranding deserted sailors on isolated islands where they starve to death. This has gone on long enough. I won't stand for this anymore- its time we take back our planet from our watery master The Sea and embrace true freedom.

Someone correct my memory here, but has Subaru actually ever given that password thing to Beatrice yet in any loop?

Wilhelm is an interesting contrast to Subaru because he basically already is a version of Subaru that became a badass and mastered the sword and still wasn't able to save the woman he loves anyways.

A very good episode. Man, I still can't believe how easily Subaru was just about to rush into that deal with Echidna before everyone else showed up though. For as much as they say Subaru was an otaku or whatever before getting isekai'd, you'd think someone like that would be more suspicious of a deal with a self-proclaimed Witch since I'm sure that kind of thing has come up a thousand times before in the kinds of media he would have consumed.

Yeah I don't have a problem with him considering the contract, but that he doesn't seem to actually put much of any thought at all into what his end of the deal would be. Like its a bit of jarring writing to have right after the scene where he sees through the fake Rem. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Sep 23, 2020 |

Going back through the opening for a moment... Is Subaru dying to the thugs in they alley something we ever actually saw in the show before?

Who do I have to write an angry letter to so the second cour comes out early? This wait is going to be more painful than that punch.

Yeah I've been wondering what exactly the point of getting more Geuse in this backstory is supposed to be. Like none of it is outright bad or anything, but I'm not sure it really deepens my understanding of his character or Emilia's or anyone else's to any significant degree.
