I was waiting for this, can't wait to see and hear what you guys thought about this. It was my personal favourite anime episode of all time

I love the 'You think it's easy to give up' conversation, they're both having two completely different experiences, Rem hears him talking as the things he has gone through in Lugunica, everything Subaru says is about his life in the real world. It's all just his internalised hikikomori shame.

Excerpt from the Afterword of the 1st ReZero Light Novel, written by the author: "(Subaru) can't use a sword. He can't use magic. He does not have the wit or the physical strength to win a fight. So this is a story about someone who, when pressed on all sides, uses only his inability to give up as a weapon. So it is a story about not giving up."

This is the episode that turned half of re:zero fans to despise Subaru for rejecting rem. The other half re just tell themselves "at least he is not lying to her". Lol Rem best girl !!!!

DetectiveYuki

One of many masterpiece Rezero episodes where the characters spend 25 minutes talking about Depression.

I don't know of any other show that has a 1 to 1 dialogue between 2 characters for 25 minutes, that leaves the audience as entranced, slackjawed, and wondering where the time went, as this one. There is very little out there like this episode. Every line hits like a Mack truck. Peeling back the layers of the main character, so the audience can see how he has been bluffing and covering for his self-loathing and insecurities for 17 whole episodes.

This is my absolutely favourite episode in the whole series and I've been waiting for you to react to this ever since I heard you guys first form your opinions on Rem. In light novel 9 there is a side story which tells what would've happened if Rem had said "Yes, let's go to Kararagi and live together" to Subaru. It is actually a really fun little snippet to "What if..."-life of Subaru and Rem years in the future with a family etc. Very heartwarming.

If episode 18 doesn't make anna like subaru again then i don't know what will. Judging from her reaction looks like she still have negative feelings towards my boi subaru. I dont think a certain ep in season 2 could do the trick at this point.

I love this episode so much- its so rare that a story is driven so well by character interactions and growth. This is where I started to fully sympathise with Subaru.

I was worried because this is the most controversial episode but you guys really made an effort to understand it which is honestly what I like about you guys but lets just say a lot of people have extremely varying opinions about this episode

Kozmo

y'all should check out Castlevania. Its 4 seasons total 32 episodes. New sequel is dropping on Netflix on September 28 and it looks amazing. TBH you might not even need to watch the original show to check it out as I think its only slightly related. It's a cartoon not an anime btw.

Zipzip

it was controversial? first time i heard this lol. Thought it was universally loved because you literally have to hate realistic and good character writing to not love this episode.

Thamor

Good end discussion, I can at least trust you guys to understand all the psychological things that is happening in this show. Episode 15 and 18 made Re:Zero easily jump to my top 3 anime of all time.
