xD @shinta

Well, Kray mentioned episode 5, so I thought that´d be the notification.

[KrayZ33]

You confused me enough to believe that you were actually not talking about episode 6.

Eh... whatever.

[MFauli]

Oh wait, episode 6 is the latest? Then that´s what I was talking about xD

episode 7 is out
---------------------


fuck this shit!
Subaru is the most masochist character I´ve ever seen. This is such bullshit that he tries to help those psycho bitch sisters. If it weren´t for Subaru´s skill/curse, he´d be DEAD ... by the hand´s of Rem!!1
When stupid Ram was kneeling next to Rem´s bed, glaring at Subaru, I so hoped he´d yell at her "you dumbfucking cunt-sister deserves all this and worse!".

At least, relatively lots happened this episode, so even if it angered me, it was better than the last two slice of life-style episodes.

[shinta|hikari]

At least Subaru finally got his shit together. I can only endure emoness for so long.

It's good they have an excuse for not being able to reveal the looping. That's what BokuMachi severely lacked.

Rem definitely deserved to die. At least Ram wanted to listen even though Subaru was acting incredibly suspicious. I don't really give a shit how much those two suffered because of the witch. Torturing and killing an innocent man means you don't get to complain when he returns that favor tenfold.

Subaru is such a tragic character, but it's pretty much the same tragedy as every single time looping protagonist. No one will ever understand how hard he worked to save people.

Loli mage is so awesome. She's always been consistent with how she treated Subaru. Those maids and that noble are fucking nuts and deserve to get killed.

[MFauli]

Speaking of the loli mage: I wonder if the contract between her an Subaru keeps up for the next loop, too. Since Subaru probably didn´t hit a another checkpoint, I´m curious which "law" is stronger: The law of the curse, or the law of a contract.

[Edort4]

This episode was strange but hinted some plot reveal/development and seems that Subaru has finally made his mind of using this "power" with some brains and guts.

First night he died of a curse. The second and 3rd night was killed by Rem (2nd night was curse affected). I think 1st an 2nd night difference with the rest was that he voluntered as a servant. 3th and 4th is a guest. 4th night Rem was killed by curse. Im guessing it has something to do with the lord. He says to be helping Emilia but I feel that he is just trying to control her somehow.

Also seems pretty clear that he is there thanks to the witch. He is her tool somehow so I guess the mansion lord isnt with the witch cause makes no sense to dispose of her tool. Maybe a 3rd party from one of those aiming for the kingdom. Dunno why he would curse rem 4th tho... I think im making this all up but I like that he series have me thinking.

[shinta|hikari]

Thinking back, wasn't the invisible cutter thing Ram's ability? Or was it shared between the twins?

Well, they did say that Rem could do everything Ram can do, only better.

[Edort4]

Yeah maybe it was Ram the one that cut his throat, being kind and not wanting him to be tortured by Rem, or maybe both of then can use that. First I thought it just a fast "flail" movement that Rem did but know that you mention it could be a skill both or only Ram has, some kind of wind wave or Rem uses flail only and was Ram the one doing those cuts.

I said wind cause emilia seems to control ice so I went with elemental powers. Lord has the power of "rainbow balls".

[shinta|hikari]

Hey, the lord looks like he loves his balls. Don't judge him by putting his power in quotes!

[neflight86]

It shouldn't have, but Subaru's death confession before his first death this episode got to me a little (and the ending one, now that I think about it). The voice acting came off as genuine rather than emo, so I could buy in a bit. That plus further intrigue and clues makes this the best episode so far.

[shinta|hikari]

It was a powerful scene. The entire episode felt emotionally charged. My only problem with it is how much of a pussy he is being, but that ended with this episode (I hope).

[KrayZ33]

I feel bad for Subaru, I knew that it would get to him at some point, didn't expect it so early and I hoped for Emilia to be the trigger.

Never have a seen a more badass suicide btw. The situation he's in must feel *horrible*. He now knows that something sinister is going on and all of a sudden, it must feel extremely awkward to rely on "return by death".. it's like a gift that can be taken away at any moment, every life/rewind could be the last.

I'm quite interested in the curse he's "suffering" from. That scene where the hand was about to rip him apart was spooky.

Rams act of mercy at the beginning was really cool too.

[MFauli]

episode 8 is out
------------------

While it FEELS like the plot progresses, I simply cannot overlook that Ram or Rem killed Subaru. It is inexcusable. Seriously. If it weren´t for his special curse/ability, he´d be gone. Forever. Because some shitty loli killed him. It feels so wrong that he forgives that. Fuck. I won´t be satisfied until Rem or Ram are killed, preferably in a gruesome way.

Also, damn, did his behavior get worse?! I mentioned in the beginning of the series that he is nothing like a shut-in otaku, but his behavior in this episode was utterly unbearable. And please, shinta, dont give me that "well, he was stressed out from the suicide, even Emilia noticed something" excuse. Wow, was that bad.

I wonder what it is with this Satella witch. I assume it was Emilia´s real identity, but now it seems like Emilia used the name of the witch for unknown reasons. If so, was it her using the witch´s name that cursed Subaru? Hm.

[shinta|hikari]

Huh? Why are you calling me out? I've always hated Subaru's nonsensical behavior. I was the first person to complain about it. Maybe you're thinking about Krayz.

Ram and Rem killed him in the timeline where he became a guest instead of a worker and tried his best not to interact with the maids. He was killed because his body exuded the witch's fragrance, triggering the twins' trauma and distrust. I do agree that killing him was overkill, though. They could've, uh, tried talking first.

EDIT: Why couldn't they zoom out just a little bit in this scene?

Just a few inches lower and it would've been golden.

[KrayZ33]

You like your (new) .gif making tool don't you

[shinta|hikari]

I didn't make those gifs. I just copied them from Sankaku.

[Edort4]

Didnt like this episode. I suppose that mental fatigue and death by "friends" shock could be foreseable but the whole goofy attitude and the clown like behaviour was just complete nonsense. Lets see what happens next episode and who that shaman turns to be. Anyways the novelty of the show is banishing fast for me and I dont like all this harem building and mentally retarded behaviour. If it wasnt for the "gore" deaths this could be a show for 10yo.

Im a bit dissapointed and I know its my fault cause the OP leaves clear what kind of show this was gonna be but those first 4-5 episodes were really good and not so heavy on the stupid romantic/conquest harem building and the lets confort him and let him touch our thigs "uuuh ecchi!".

If I was the writer I would make him go to town, meet a girl that tries to sell something strangely cheap and when fail she tries to seduce him, due to the boner accumulation that all those girls in short costumes he is tempeted, turns out she is a hooker. MC decides that hooker isnt being disloyal to emilia and pays her to do it but just then finds she is the shaman (sent by the lord to get rid of him, but he has no proof) and then he kills her choking her after a struggle. For example

[shinta|hikari]

Ep 12:

What did Reinhard see when Felt was handing over the insignia? It's not the trinket itself that bothered him because he handed it over to Emilia at the end. He also asked Felt's age. Maybe that insignia can only be held by elves or royalty, and Felt is an abandoned heir to the previous evil emperor (cough, Chaika, cough) or something.

So, uh, I predicted this whole Felt is a princess development since the end of the first arc. I'm not trying to brag. It's just that this story is a little too cliche and predictable.

That said, the characters are cute and adorable. It doesn't matter that their personalities are mostly cookie cutter and just as predictable as the plot. Cuteness = Justice.

[Buffalobiian]

I've been fairly bored with the latest series of eps because I frankly don't give a shit about Ram or Rem. Damn psychos. Library girl shits all over them.

At least now we're done with them and we can finally get back on track with characters from the first arc.
