| That scene of Subaru being devoured by carnivorous rabbits felt as if it was only created for shock value, but I'm sure there'll be some narrative significance to it. At least he got to tell Echidna about his ability. Even if she already knew, Subaru apparently really just wanted to tell someone about it and get it off his chest, so I'm sure that's a relief for him. |

| I remembered a scene from 'Interstellar (2014)', when Dr. Mann first saw Cooper, his emotional breakdown. Expressing feelings to someone who can truly understand them, also it's been a while. |
| Ah yes more suffering for Subaru hasn't always been fun has it? |

| It's so fucking stupid how they constantly stop adn talk about the msot useless things when thats the last thing they should do. It was especially egregrious in the previous episode, when Ram drew the attention of the beast, and of course it is this moment that he suddenly notices he's been stabbed after standing around talking outside for minutes, and getting back inside etc., but he dallies with Petra about who's more amazing and whatever. Seriously? He knows his restart has sort of a time limit, he complains ln length about it just a bit alter to Beatrice, and he experienced so much shit that every second scene he's breaking down crying, but has no sense of urgency at all. And this episode again. If the assumption is that Garfiel can't leave the graveyard and won't notice, why no carriage or anything at all? Then they could have talked while on their way. They could at least have walked, but no. And then they barely escape because Ram, again, saved the day - sort of - and what do they do? Stop TALKING to the villagers. We saw them being distributed all along the forest, and everyone has lamp, I'd assume if you have such an elaborate setup of last resort, that you simply follow the chain of lamps, and each and every person can immediately point you in the right direction, so that you DON'T have to stop. But apparently this was the time to FINALLY talk to the villagers, after ignoring them all the time. And then it's what, 10 meters from the actual barrier? He was pushed back by Otto, and Patrasche dragged him and threw him a couple of meters, but clearly they would covered that distance if they had not stopped for smalltalk. It's clear that they really wanted to have some scenes, but scene A and scene B do not fit together, so they had to make the characters make weird decisions. At the same time we saw Subaru both crying and laughing so much it could fill it's own episode, so they have plenty of time to waste. They could have had Garfiel catching up to them because they had to walk slowly given that Patrasche can not carry all of them. Or they need some more time to find the barrier. Maybe have Garfiel find them before the meet up with Ram, have her arrive in the nick of time, and Subaru and Otto ride away, only to have Garfiel catch up anyway. Or whatever. At this point I believe that they don't know what to do with this much time they have on their hands. A regular anime has about 20 minutes of actual content, they have up to 26 minutes. And they have scenes that simply do not fit, as described before. So they fill the time with whatever they have on their hands, which doesn't require real effort. NO ned to come up with real dialogue if a bit of inconsequential smalltalk is enough. No need to think about how someone else can catch up if they stay in place for several minutes, or when Subaru cries or laughs for two minutes or something, longer than the scenes where he talks to Emilia or Roswaal. It fills the air time, and it fills the "in universe" time, so win-win.. |
| Learning that Beatrice isn’t from the Witch’s Cult is a relief. My man Subaru finally got to tell someone about what he’s been through, and even better, Echidna was watching the whole time. I’m sure that’s going to help Subaru a lot. Once again, Echidna proves she’s best girl. |
| Emilia is such a whiny little b1tch . He's still kvetching over that stupid btch "waaaa u nvr tol me ur feelings!" Girls that say shit like this are stupid. Leave her dude. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Rem is the better choice. OMG Otto is a total cutie Really cool jump-scare with those black cloaked guys, that was super cool. Them still being mysterious makes them cool I suppose But the next scenes are brutal as fuck ... really awful but clever the way it ended. Subaru knows he has the ability to reset it all, Of course the instant the cultist's hoods are off and the mystery disappears, they are just clownish. |
