Nice episode. Didn't expect Wilhelm to crawl back out of the whale and that flashback kiss scene with his wife was neat, no nosense that you usally see in most anime.
BTW did Subaru die and came back or how did he maange to get the smell that attracts the demons? |

I was reminded of Devil May Cry 3's Leviathan when Wilhelm got out of that whale. Also when Subaru was about to get eaten by the diving whale.

-- With so much artillery brought out for the whale I wonder what kind of fight the Betelgeuse fight will be. Besides his invisible hand hes always had his opponents woefully outnumbered so we don't have a gauge for how strong he really is. Its also going to be interesting to see how Emilia reacts to Subaru showing up with a fighting force and whether or not Subaru intercepts the Witch's Cult, shows mid-siege, or shows up early enough to fortify defenses at the Roswald estate. |

It's almost kinda surprising that out of all the major characters with at least one major role in an arc in this series, Emilia is one of the least-developed ones outside maybe Roswaal. It makes it harder and harder to see why Subaru is exactly infatuated with her, especially since it feels like he clicks better with just about every other female he generally associates with in the cast. It certainly doesn't help that said women see value(at some point or another; the last couple of loops were the opposite) in Subaru, while it kinda feels like Emilia sees him as a bit of a distraction/nuisance.

Anyway, I liked this episode but I thought the amount of fluffing of Subaru's ego got to be a bit excessive. Now Julius arrives so we'll see how much of a lesson Subaru actually learned or if he'll go back to being a dumbass. |

Could one ever explain love at first sight? It's something that is very real, but logically speaking, it is hard to explain. Also, Subaru is a teenager with raging hormones, so that makes emotional impulses even more likely. He met Emilia first. She was beautiful, and he pretty much fell in love at first sight. There really isn't much to reason or explain love at first sight. It just happens, and he is committed to her. If he changes to another person so soon (I don't even think he has been here a month yet), then he will seem whimsical with his feelings or even unfaithful even. That's also why Rem accepted that Emilia is top in his heart.

@SeaDoor and @frubam
Really? Well i just rewatched the first and part of the second arc because the BDs for it are already available and i totally understand why Subaru has a thing for Emilia. You guys just forgot about it because the series focused more on Rem at certain point. Emilia also saved Subaru's life, was the first beacon he found in a strange new alien world, gave him confort and kind words when he was falling appart (especially after he got killed by fucking Rem), she is someone he admires for her altruistic and nice personality, helped him several times even tho she does not understand his weird actions at all and tried to protect Subaru even if that means pushing him away! Hell, she was the one who motivated Subaru to try to help people at first place! Just because Rem also has done so much for Subaru it does not mean he is obligated to waive his feelings for Emilia. He still can try to be together with Emilia since there is still hope. Don't blame the guy for fighting for the girl he likes just because someone else is available now. If Emilia ends up chosing someone else, then Subaru can move on. I also think he and Rem look cute together anyway and this is coming for someone that is not that big fan of romance. Thing is, saying there is no reason for Subaru's love for Emilia is just wrong. |

Great episode!
Shame they altered Subaru x Rem scene, but I think they managed to get similar meaning to LN and WN across even if Subaru's acceptance of Rem's love is more implied here in comparsion. That said Wilhelm and Theresia's scenes were excellent! Was hoping they would cover Subaru's scenes with Julius to leave more time for the Witch Cult fight, but alas. Quote:

RIP tree. Can someone explain the "LN lore" for how Subaru came up with that plan? It wouldn't occur to me that we can't kill the whale, but we COULD one-shot this tree that is far more thick.
Other than that detail, it was another great episode. I do appreciate how the studio keeps borrowing time from the OP/ED segments, all that time must've added up to almost 2 full episodes by now. They didn't have to do that. They could've just cut some more scenes and called it a day...that's some passion right there.

I think Re:Zero already proved that it can deviate itself from the usual standards. I would not be surprised if Subaru ends up with Satella instead of Emilia or Rem..LOL. If that happens, you can't blame the guy. Satella looks like Emilia cosplaying Elsa with yandere traits all over the place. That is best girl material right there

If you're gonna be reductive about his feelings in that way, then I can easily say Rem's boils down to him being the first guy her age who has actually bothered with getting to know her. Don't you use your presonal preference for one ship to discerdit other relationships. Especially because it relfects badly on every other one as whole. And if want you get technical Felt is the first girl he met. |

Apple, just give it up. People will believe what they want and we don't need another locked board.
Great episode, had to watch it twice because I got very confused at the end. Video on Crunchyroll skipped from Crusche splitting the cloud to the tree falling on the whale lol. |

What I am wishing to see is the story show why Emilia is worth the trouble that the story has created. I understand somewhat Subaru's fixation so my issue is with the narrative not the character motivation within the narrative. |

Another nice episode. I really liked the backstory of Wilhelm weaved into the whole of the White Whale fight and the animation was so fun to watch.
Also is the anime going to be able to cover the last parts of arc 3? if information is right there's a nice little chunk left and only 4 episodes left so it feels like they might not be able to wrap it up at the end of this 3rd arc. |
