Going to have to agree with Shinta. Fantastic episode.
Rem is the best.
I can understand the anger at him rejecting Rem, but it wouldn't make sense for him to just drop all of his feelings for Emilia.
Hopefully after this, he'll either:
A) Realize that Rem is the best and get over Emilia
B) Get both. At this point, Rem is in the bag. Might as well grab Emilia too.

Subaru doesn't deserve Rem, but since she's happy now then what can I say.
Puck also appears to know Satella personally, and at least knows of the White Whale's true identity. We need this backstory before the season finishes.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I believe Shinta liked this episode cause Subaru denigrated, by word and act, himself even better than Shinta could sparing him the job to do it.
And cause Rem, despite the semi-loli appearence, acted like a mother and thats what u pervs really want in your inner selfs :P
ps. Puck knows about the sins, sloth and gluttony, and Satella. Maybe he was one (servant spirit) of them? Could Elsa be lust?

The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
I dunno. If somebody like Elsa turns out to be one of the sins, then Iīd get the feeling that this whole world is fake. Like, itīs all happening in Subaruīs mind only. It already felt weird that apparently the whale is one of the sin members, too. Like itīs all designed around Subaru.
Btw. Iīm not saying the episode itself was bad/badly directed or anything. My anger applies exclusively to Subaruīs fucked up choice. I cannot comprehend it. That is all.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Are you hating it because he dumped Rem?
If so, there's an IF story series made by the author showing the story if Rem ran away with Subaru. Haven't read it yet, but many have.
I liked the episode because of the powerful emotions and dialog. Also, the direction and music were all spot on. It's very rare for an episode to use the title of the story in its dialog without sounding corny, and they did it perfectly here.
Rem is the best. That needs repeating.
It's like you don't want to but have no other choice but to agree with me

Peace.
Rem gave us a breakdown. It sounds mundane but also enviously happy.

Rem was some light and comfort after so many eps of depression and negativity.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Rem is love, Rem is life.
Despite being a one horned demon, she has the same dreams as your average teenage girl from the 70's 80's.
But that was ok, even that was soothing after what we had to endure in the last few episodes.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Much like this full series, I'm very conflicted about this latest episode.
In any case, I just caught up to this series, and man has it had a lot of up and downs, along with a lot of missed opportunities and wasteful moments. Main character was promising in the beginning then turned to shit, now I don't know where he's going.
As for this latest episode, I thought it was really well done. By the same token, it was the epitome of all my petpeeves. Main character being a complete pussy for no real reason other than being a pussy given that he can keep redoing everything until it works out. Furthermore getting this piece of shit depressed about trying everything when he hasn't tried shit. So fuck that.
Rem was great. At the same time, from a "shippers" standpoint, I've never liked characters like her. So that in the end she was turned down, was good for me, though it did leave a sting that she opened herself so much and get rejected in the manner she did, quite dismissive. I'm not sure if this is the attempt that will work out in the end, but I fear that Subaru will die once again, and it'll be like this never happened. Though I suppose Subaru will remember, so it's just as important. Just Rem will never know how important she became in this process. Maybe for the best since she was rejected.
And continuing with my petpeeves, we got a lot of dialogue in combination with long ass monologues that go in circles, and repeat the same shit over and over but in different ways. That pisses the fuck out of me.
But, just the same it came off very incredible. So hard to balance out those contradicting emotions within.
In all, best part is that we got Subaru finally ready to take some action again, so everything was worth it.
The best part was when his eyes finally got drawn normally again. His psycho eyebag mode was annoying to see.
Peace.
But heīs more of a psycho now that he chose to reject Rem ;/
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
It's just the start of the story. Maybe they get together later. After all, Emilia is a bitch.
Peace.
"Btw Rem, Emilia turned out to be a witch/bitch. Now Iīm free for you. That okay?"
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Not sure why Emilia is a bitch, from my POV, Subaru has been a complete jackass towards her, in fact, completely embarrassing her in front of the succession committee, and somewhere he promised not to go, somewhere he was not invited to go as he had zero standing or reason to be there (other for reasons only he himself is allowed to know).
So I really don't see the point of making Emilia a shit, when from all angles, Subaru has been the biggest shit here and more, particularly with his response when he's called upon it.
So no, Emilia is not a bitch in this.
Emilia is a bitch because Subaru died several times trying to save her yet she throws him away the moment he acts like a jerk, which he is. Rem is a goddess in comparison. So I guess I'm just rating Emilia a relative bitch, not an objective bitch.
Kidding aside, I think Emilia X Subaru isn't feasible anyway. Emilia is a noble and will probably end up being queen. Subaru is just a nobody with no power or abilities except dying. Rem is perfect for him, he just doesn't know it yet.
And Mfauli, people fall in and out of love all the time. It's not like Subaru is forever tainted after his romance with Emilia fails one way or another. Rem isn't any less of a goddess even if they get together after that.
Peace.
I hope that at some point we learn more about how new "Save Points" are coming about, and how they're triggered.
Two times now it has occurred in front of the market stall. Not sure if there's a clue there or not.
Emilia is a bitch, because ...
1.) as elaborated by shinta, relatively to Rem, she is "bitchier".
2.) I fully expect Emilia to be Satella aka the witch, that has initiated all of this fuckery, forcing Subaru to die again and again, working his ass off to put her on the throne. In that regard, sheīs a full-on bitch.
People fall out of love because theyīre given a reason. Subaru had no reason to fall out of love with Rem.
And ignoring your weird concept of "fallin in/out of love": It is NOT normal to give a guy like Subaru another chance after what he did to Rem. Irl, people usually donīt give second chances when one of the two cheats. Same logic applies here, except itīs even worse than physical cheating imo. She confesses her love in the utmost heart-felt way. And he replies with "I love other girl". Thatīs his instant reply. Not one second of reluctance. Not even an attempt of softening the blow. You guys keep calling Rem a goddes. If so, I call Subaru a god slayer.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Emilia could really be Satela, as it's the first name she presented herself in the first ep.
Then Subaru died and the setting changed.
But Subaru and we remember.
Now that we know how dangerous that world is and how cautious you have to be in everything you do or say, it's a bit strange for a half-elf to use that name.
It could also be she's the next vessel for the witch, so technically not the witch yet.

God Slayer Subaru has a nice ring to it, actually.
The thing is, Subaru never fell in love with Rem. He's been in love with Emilia from the start though, so this makes sense.
I actually think the way he rejected her was the best way. He didn't pity her and respected her strength and pride. That was nice and also the first sign that Subaru is finally manning up.
Peace.
