This was... Refreshing? Good going, Subaru! No way this good fortune holds up next week, or does it? Loved Rem's little tidbits, tho. Her stare-off with the dragon was AWESOME!!!

Was a bit disappointed in this episode. Was preparing myself to see Subaru in a battle of wits against all the leaders he encountered previously, and outsmarting them as he went through them and what not, but all we got for our sufferings and troubles was a shortcut with little impact other than moving the pieces along.
Loved the last scene of the episode though. I know there's now an allegiance in place, but I also have to wonder if Subaru is going to use this opportunity to lead the White Whale towards Emilia, and by extension this big army... along the way maybe confronting the Witch Cult as well. Though I think they might arrive a bit too early for a confrontation, but maybe a good enough moment to get into position and intercept their attack when it occurs subsequently. All that said, glad to have a more proactive Subaru back... he was getting annoying as heck.

If leading the White Whale in Emilia's direction happens I'd bet it be by accident or due to plot convenience since evading the White Whale doesn't seem like it would allot for being choosey in what direction you flee. I'm interested to see just how they intend to attack it. I mean they're a ground army vs a flying whale. Will they attempt to ground it or what? -- So far this series has been quite a ride, watching Subaru getting mentally destroyed every possible way to the point of wondering how the author could possibly rebuild him only to have that followed up with one of the best talking-head episodes in recent memory with Rem has been quite captivating. I just hope this arc finishes off strong and hopefully makes it to the next 'checkpoint'. I really want Rem and Subaru to be able to keep the memories of their conversation. If for no other reason than it lets one character know just how hard Subaru's trying and just how noble his intentions are, even if his methods fall short. |

The build up to the White Whale's reappearance was genuinely tense with Subaru's phone ringtone providing the perfect atmosphere.
BTW, in case anyone was wondering where Subaru's ringtone came from... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_wm4KmrDH0 |

I don't know, but I hoped after hitting rock-bottom, and coming back up again, and seeing how complete shit everyone was towards him and Emilia, that he'd try to get their help by any way necessary. Regardless, he formed his alliance, but just came off as cheaply acquired. Also, call it by the name you want, he's still manipulating them, but I get your point. In all, it's immaterial to me. I thought it'd be interesting and more entertaining to see. I mean we spent FIVE full episodes on him trying and failing to get through this, and all they give us is a measly five minutes of a vanilla alliance after his epiphany? It was anti-climatic at best. So in that context, I was disappointed with what the episode offered on this particular regard. The rest was simply moving the pieces around, so a transition episode. The ending was awesome though, good tension, and just loved the final scene once the White Whale appeared.

Very hyped for next week. I wonder how well White Fox will be able to manage the fight. Animating a fight like this is going to be a very challenging task. |

Whale eats you -> Everyone forgets you -> Look at all of these people who have lost something to Shamu!
...Mm?! Is this whale a dojikko that tries to eat but only ends up squashing his prey 99% of the time finally succeeding in eating REM as his first meal?! And since Subaru barely was able to make it to Emilia before KKK kills her and he is spending his dear time screaming in front of his slave or playing Monster Hunter, I think she is already dead though?

But in his last adventure when he went against the White Whale, he actually arrived in time, so that he's fighting the White Whale now, is consistent at least with the idea that he still has time to arrive.

Re:zero is the older kind of isekai where people from earth actually transported to another world, just like jyuuni kouki, where its the physical bodies of the protag that gets transported as well, making everything more relatable, again that is my opinion. But enough of that, that was a decent build up episode, was kinda disappointed with how they portray the negotiation and how the other negotation with russell, anastasia and possibly some inputs from Rem was not shown and was only hinted in this episode. It was a nice touch of using Flanders no inu as Subaru ringtone, subaru seems to have a certain fondness with that anime, i guess this will not only be the reference to dog of flanders we will see in this show?
