Doesn't seem like carlie is vibing with the show anymore 😔

Martina

they watch many shows, it's natural that they will like some better than the others

Carlie & Ange

Nah she is! Before we started filming that day, she was actually hoping it was Re:Zero day. Sometimes when we say things like “i dont like this show” etc, its us being dramatic because something has happened in the episode that is frustrating 😆 You’ll notice we do it a lot!

At about 24:00 in your episode 16 reaction, you might find a hint to what happened early in this episode. Puck is a spirit, so safe to say he's older than Emilia and makes sense he'd take on a paternal role. One of the movies or OVA's details more backstory, can't remember which one though.

FYI, next EP have no intro but some streaming sites still show the Skip Intro button (which will skip important content).

The current episodes y’all just went through too are some of the toughest I’ve ever watched consecutively in anime. It’s very easy to get frustrated with how things are going. It’s supposed to be that way tbf. Literally just L after L for Subaru and it somehow gets worse and worse. Just in this loop, Emilia dies in his arms, Otto pushes him out to get eaten by the whale, Rem sacrifices herself and is forgotten by everyone. Then we get more happy time with Betelgeuse 😁. Brutal

Yeah it has its narrative purpose in building up for something.

Luckily the mysteries are handled in due time, so don't worry about not understanding something.

I wish this show had a blue-haired cute, demon maid character named Rem or something. It would make this show a lot better.

Joshua Lopez

Haha, look, this is a very heavy section of the show. It's alright for it to be hard to watch.

Ngl, y’all should write some of these theories down. Weirdly enough, they will be relevant for Season 2

Graham

Can’t wait for the Otto arc. Y’all are gonna be glowing on him like he was Rem.

Ok, small recap about the creepy hand smoke thing that caresses Subaru's heart (at least what we know until now) First of all, the colors of the hands are clear indication that these things have something to do with the Jealous witch. Her cultists robes have the same colors and Betelgeuse's Unseen Hand that "she gifted him" have the same color, too. It only activates when Subaru is trying to tell someone about Return by Death and when he does that the smell of the witch on him intesifies (I think Rem clearly states it one time, but just think about the fact that in the forest he shouts about Return by death to lure the mabeasts to him, that's a pretty clear sign about the smell intensifying). When he uses it for the first time he says that he felt agonizing pain, he didn't die, but the "fear was engraved in him" So... the goal is never to kill him. It's to punish him. It's to let him know that he can't say that or something bad will happen. The first time the witch only needed to scare the shit out of him with the pain, but now Subaru is too broken. He has suffered so much that pain would not have been punishment enough. He basically said "to hell if I die, I need to say this" so what punishment would have been to kill him? The "best" thing would have been to kill someone near him that he loved very much to let him live with the knowledge that HE killed Emilia because he disobeyed the rule.

Definitely write those theories down like Attack on Titan. and it's also a good idea to write down certain key events or interactions or "character motives" or changes of motives PER subaru-death loop and checkpoint, as it may become a lot to juggle. But you finally figured out the contract thing with emilia and figured out who the "Dog b*tch" is ? hahaha I'm surprised you didn't recognize the voice acting immediately!!! And yeah, every time emilia died, something bad happened, as you saw. And now you see at the end of it who just dropped in when the witche's cult tried to mess with his daughter!

Grey Cat

Ange, bring back the notebook !

JN

Is the mist actually steam coming from the whale? If so, the steam coming from the whale is due to its female titanic blood.

The Great Santini

This is definitely one of those series where keeping events and important dialogue straight in your mind is super beneficial to discussing it episode by episode.

The Great Santini

This part of the show is meant to feel desperate and difficult to watch so I'd say the show is doing what it wanted to and having the intended effect on Carlie.

The Great Santini

This comment right here. The jealous witch can't threaten Subaru with death if he's not afraid to die, right? So she chose to kill someone he cares about deeply to keep his mouth shut. Also, we have to remember that Betelguese keeps referring to "sloth." Not jealousy. Not envy. There were multiple witches, right?

The Great Santini

Ange you were right: Puck did refer to Emilia as his "cute daughter" or something in the first few episodes when they were having happy-fun-pet Puck time outside the mansion lol.

Diego Beltran

Subaru wasn't actually saying those bad things to Emilia, he was talking to himself :c

Diego Beltran

Absolutely right, when I was watching this last 3-4-5 episodes, I didn't even wanted to keep watching, because it was just sadness, and sadness, but I kept going and don't regret it hahahah
