I thought they were going to bring in bard girl to sing and lift everyone’s spirits, but I thought this worked better.
I was thinking that too initially, but you're right. This definitely worked better. At first his speech sounded... terrible. But then I realized it was actually perfect for Subaru. He's an ordinary person with few redeeming qualities. He has nothing special going for him except Return by Death. He was basically saying, "I'm a weak and pathetic person but because there are people I care about I will fight and I will win. B-T-Dubs, I also killed a Sin Archbishop. Did I mention I'm weak and pathetic? What's your excuse?"
What happened to “Don’t tell the Sin Archbishop your name?”
I'm guessing Gluttony has to know the name and face of the person to eat their existence. Subaru's name is already well known so just saying it again shouldn't be a problem.
Lousiest episode so far. Listening to them talk makes me feel dumb.
For some reason, they've got to state the obvious throughout their conversation. Also, whenever someone come up with a counterpoint or an idea, the rest would revere it - even though all the speaker did was said something common-sensical.
It's like the show's creators don't trust their audience to think or something. My intelligence feels insulted.
Subaru's speech sucks too. Too lazy to elaborate.
This is not the first time Re:Zero has made me feel this way, but it rarely makes me feel like this the entire episode. I had to speed up the episode to get through it.
It's about time Subaru get back to dying again to make things interesting.
A 30min episode yet it felt shorter than usual! This was the character growth episode, for both Emilia and Subaru. Recalling Subaru's arguably lowest point right before the speech was brilliant, man has grown so much since then! Things are looking up so much I'm dreading what's coming, this is Re:zero after all and we're only at the mid point of the season. Even the "sv_cheats 1" using knight himself finally showing up only makes me more anxious for what's to come.
