I'm a bit confused, I'm not sure I'm the only one, but does Subaru go back and forth from his world and the world with Rem and the others? I feel like it should be obvious, but I'm just not getting it ^^:

Go and watch episode 5, it will answer your question.

But if you want an answer now now:


Oh ok, I'm just going to wait then when I watch the next ep lol. Thanks for answering my question tho!! Really appreciate it :)

very interesting episode. seeing subaru confront his past before entering the new world was great to see. i think it gave a lot of depth and development to his character that we haven't gotten to see up until now.

Subaru's backstory was interesting. So he's now confronted his past. I guess that's a good thing. His dad kinda reminded me of Ichigo's dad from bleach. They both have similiar personalities.

i still think this is one of the most depressing episodes ever. cried for the whole episode and thinking back on how subaru just vanished that day without any trace is so depressing to think abbout now

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

This episode hit hard. Im not sure if I have ever related to an episode like this ever. think how beautiful it is whenever parents support their kids no matter what. Think about kids who have mental illness like autism, or bad behavior. The kids who are antisocial, and fail to blend in with society. To love and care for your own children and be understanding of that is something truly beautiful. I was in tears the entire time because while subaru's issue may have seemed simple to many, its really more complex than that.

im not sure what is this trial supposed to accomplish, nothing in particular has been put to the test, so far i dont think this even qualifies as a trial

Really enjoyed the episode, and i really enjoyed Subaru's parents. This is the first time I've really had to empathize with Subaru, well aside from him being murdered a lot. Idk if I'll start to like Subaru more now, honestly probably not, but he's becoming more proactive which is a exciting development.

What an amazing episode that showed us Subaru's reason for being a shut-in. Not to mention the fact that it makes you cry every 5 minutes is amazing in of it self

Why tf did I cry so much over this goddamnit. But anyway isn't Echidna evil? Isn't she a villain or something being the witch of greed and all? Why are her trials like this then cause this is definitely a good thing for Subaru. I feel like this is more training him than testing him. Also, he gotta get back to his world man.

Basically a 1:1 adaption.

Amazing work on the pacing. Didn't expect to get as many feels as I did.


Indeed, I started watching this feeling pretty out of it, since I had not seen anime for a good while and not really feeling it and then ended up tearing up and relieving all those emotions from when I read this chapter on the LN earlier this year, a really solid adaptation, great episode, one of the bettter ones specially for developing Subaru further!

LOVE IT

It's the big things AND the little things, from his mom getting him to admit he doesn't hate the world to him suddenly realizing he never got to say goodbye to his mother, all of it is just beautiful.

This was quite the emotional episode, and the first time I've seen any isekai character's past gone into this much detail. It really just shows how much pain Subaru has been in this whole time. Echidna showing up at the end like that was quite unexpected, but I should have expected it considering where we left off on the last episode.

I guess this episode shows how much Subaru has changed for the better since he started over in another world. I'm glad that he got to confront his parents, even just one last time too.

Finally got to hear the new ending track, and it is just as good as the opening. Fits this show perfectly.

A shockingly accurate depiction of my relationship with my parents, right down to their energetic disposition and Subaru's desire. Maybe the reason I hate him so much is because we are similar. I really don't want to admit that though... I just lack the lame anime speeches and courage.

Beautiful episode, I didn't remember anything about Subaru's parents and it was very nice to see them again.
They are great but too good, a little heavy hand doesn't hurt me from time to time
So this is part of Subaru's past, it is basically what I have already mentioned before: the expectations (it is obvious that you are his son) and the issue of being "special" or believing that you are until you discover that there will always be someone. better than you but you keep trying with all your might to be “someone” and in the search for that goal you end up even more lost than before, in this aspect I couldn't connect because I never thought I was someone special. but I can try to understand it although it will not be as genuine as experiencing it firsthand.
What a shame that at the moment (because you never know what can happen) I won't be able to see them again.
Echidna with the school uniform haha ​​I didn't remember, time to see how the test goes

PS: I love that the chapters are longer.

PS2: Looking at Subaru's room, his actions during the first episodes of the first season now make more sense hahaha

PS3: On a technical level (so to speak) there are things that I did not mention, for example: when the mother says goodbye in those fractions of seconds Subaru felt sadness because he could not say goodbye in his world but happiness because he did manage to do it here, or at least this feeling you gave me

Subaru was transported back to his room and confronted his past. He made peace with his parents and himself. He was ready to go back to school when he came face to face with Echidna waiting for him.
