Do you really think you could do better than Subaru, knowing just as little as he knows about everything?
All urls found in this thread:
I would rape as many girls as possible and then kill myself. Same, thing, same day, different girls. I would eventually make it into a points game as to how far I had to go to rape the girls and what standing they held in society
Yes, I honestly do. If I was dying repeatedly I can safely say I wouldn't be thinking with my dick.
But neither is he, he's thinking with his
heart. Granted that's basically just as bad.
Nope, I'd start getting unstable after the first few deaths.
I'd at least experiment outside the scope of getting in half-elf bitches panties with one of my extra chances at life.
I would accept my fate in the new world and start from scratch trying to make a decent honest living, then die old and take my curse to the grave
and I just realized that I'll probably be brought back and forced to live through it all over again
Yes. The only reason there is any conflict at all what so ever all has to do with the fact that subaru is a flat character who only cares about fucking some ugly bitch.
If i was in his situation I wouldn't risk my life over some one dimensional bitch i just met.
Sabara is the main reason why this show is so fucking shit.
It's not a bad strategy, you could use those decades to become a kung fu master or learn magic
Or at least learn how to read. You could even research the conflict on your own and respawn with confidential knowledge. Who knows what you'd find out twenty or thirty years after the fact?
after selling my phone to some rich fuck I would probably buy an apartment and become a landlord for a living
(apartments were a thing back then right?)
I don't know if I'd do better, but I'd definitely be less chuuni about it.
his position is too exaggerated. it's like light torture porn. there's no point of thinking of it in a way that puts yourself in his shoes.
Yeah, he's a fucking retard.
Nope. But he is still a dumbass for several reasons.
you're right,it's not as bad as I thought,you could probably become a god if you did it for long enough,but you'd also need to find a way to get rid of the curse's stench so that people don't notice
I can certainly have less deaths than him, because I wouldn't help Emilia after the first death. Actually, I probably wouldn't have ever come across her in the first place.
Is there any evidence for whether the curse would let Subaru run away from it all or not?
There's an entire spinoff for him running away with Rem for an entire lifetime.
If I'm being honest with myself? Probably worse.
Probably the same but with shitty one liners while I'm dying.
Anyone who thinks they'd do significantly better is just a lying faggot.
Yes, Subaru acts like an idiot and spouts memes, but he's not retarded. Most of his plans and such are pretty reasonable.
He's also likely more athletic than 99% of Sup Forums.
Most of us would probably die just as much, and just spout less autistic stuff while doing it.
A little better. I definitely would not be killing myself in order to fix the past or anything like that since there's always the risk that my powers could just stop working and then i'm legit dead.
But after my first couple of deaths I'd start documenting major events, thinking about how to recreate them and try to go for the best outcomes if possible. I'm also a lot physically weaker though so I'd have to figure out something to make up for it. Probably find or make an emergency shiv at least.
I wouldn't waste precious time being a shitty butler.
Requesting to be the assistant of the Librarian Beatrice would be a much better use of time.
I could get access to books this way and training from Beatrice to be a better assistant by being tutored in writing and reading, whereas compared to Subaru's current position, he barely has a few hours before bed to learn how to read or write.
But after my first couple of deaths I'd start documenting major events, thinking about how to recreate them and try to go for the best outcomes if possible.
Subaru does this though.
I definitely would not be killing myself in order to fix the past or anything like that since there's always the risk that my powers could just stop working and then i'm legit dead.
He killed himself like, what, once? And that's because it was a loop with literally no viable future.
Pretty much this. And you could argue that sticking with Emilia makes the most sense, dick/heart aside, as she's the only person he's met that can help him with his situation magically/is willing to take him in (though I guess there's Reinhard if he'd had the chance to choose).
My smartphone is at least better than Subaru.
Also, the importance of a camera in a world without cameras is very downplayed by Sabaru.
In the old days, intel of enemy fortresses and bases could only be done by first hand sight by spies and only be described through words or quick sketches by spies with good drawing ability.
A camera is much more convenient than on the demand sketching and bonus points, the image is in color.
Also, Wanted Posters sometimes fail to depict what the actual Wanted Person looks like so a camera is also handy for wanted criminals or wannabe bounty hunters.
Isn't it common sense to head to an adventure's guild first to gather information?
Subaru made the mistake of going to places like bars for information.
You don't really want to go to place that serves alcohol for information unless you are strong enough.
Most fiction shows that guilds don't allow alcohol on premises with the exception of KonoSuba since it was Half Guild/ Half Restaurant.
Is there even an adventure guild in this series? Because I don't remember Subaru ever going to one.
Totally agree with this. Only downside I can think of is that as soon as the battery dies the magic is done. Unless he also got one of those mechanical emergency chargers.
Good luck recharging your smartphone smart ass.
Isn't it common sense to head to an adventure's guild first to gather information?
We don't even know if those exist. And how would Subaru, with no money, reading/writing, or knowledge/background do anything there?
He has absolutely nothing to his name or no abilities that would get him work, beyond his phone, which he only knows is worth anything due to the fact he decided to help Emilia.
A phone with a limited battery life doesn't mean shit in anything you said, beyond selling it to a black market merchant.
Underrated post
Guilds often provide information for free.
Bars require money and muscle and possibly intimidation to get what you want.
The checkpoints being virtually arbitrary in creation makes loops hard to exploit as is. Things only go that well because of luck.
go to adventure's guild (which might not even exist)
don't know where you are, what the fuck is going on, anything about this world
If you start asking for a world map, world history, or anything that you need, they'll just stare at you like you're crazy and kick you out once they see you're useless.
Those guilds are in place for actual adventurers looking for job information. They're not a seminar of geography/history/society.
If I was Subaru I would never have the return by death in the first place.
I wouldn't trigger any Emilia/Satella flags at my first encounter.
Your post sucked anon
tfw crazy ass yandere elf witch will never love you enough to make you suffer infinite
feels bad man
Except in fiction, a lot of low level quests in adventure's guild is essentially being a bodyguard or tour guide and the payment fee doesn't always have to be money.
Helping someone acquire common herbs in a nearby forest in return for a cheap potion or common good is a common occurrence.
Subaru could have offered his bowl of instant ramen and bag of chips in exchange for anybody wanting an easy quest to do.
Speaking of those, does he ever get to eat them?
No, because he's already putting in the effort to learn the local language and writing and I can't even be assed to learn a second language no matter how cool or useful I think it'd be
It seems the bowl of instant ramen was never used and only one timeline were the bag of chips actually eaten.
Man, that sucks.
I would rape as many girls as possible and then kill myself. Same, thing, same day, different girls. I would eventually make it into a points game as to how far I had to go to rape the girls and what standing they held in society
I can't believe that this concept still hasn't been explored in anime yet. Obviously if your actions were robbed of their consequences then you'd begin to question your moral precepts.
I suppose it's just too dark for an anime and too deep for a hentai series.
Pretty sure the Steins;Gate VN had something like this, maybe I am just missremembering it though.
I would be robbed by the thugs with no one to help me and become a homeless faggot for the rest of my life.
Isn't that the point of the series that he's a borderline retard?
too dark
Even Undertale explored this concept, with the main villain saying he started out as a hero but got so goddamn bored he started killing people for fun
It's pretty much the obvious conclusion to save-scumming. If actions were devoid of consequences shit would get dark fast
Are you that much of a dumbass like Subaru to wander dark alleyways always from busy public streets?
Not even I would do that in real life or are you telling me you like to walk in shady parts of town?
or it could have been destroyed at Elsa encounter where Reinhart used his SS to destroy the entire house.
No, Okabe doesn't rape anyone. He just repeats everything in the last day to escape from reality and eventually went mad from the sheer repetition. Maybe he would rape Suzuha for real if S;G was 18+.
In Subaru's defense, he's Japanese. You ever walk around dark alleys there? It's surprisingly safe and comfy.
I am surprised Subaru didn't try selling his tracksuit.
If I was wearing a tracksuit like Subaru, I would head to a fancy clothing store or find a merchant who deals in clothing and show off my tracksuit.
If the clothing store owner or merchant gets interested in the concept of a tracksuit, I would try selling it for as high as possible in exchange for money and regular clothing.
Well no, but doesn't he push Daru in front of a bus or something because he got bored by all the shit repeating. Has been way too long since I read it so I guess it's time for a re-read.
I don't think so, no.
Excluding his chuuniism, he didn't take that much of wrong steps
Even Undertale explored this concept, with the main villain saying he started out as a hero but got so goddamn bored he started killing people for fun
Weirdly, rape is often treated as a more dark subject than murder.
Imagine if Frisk had the option to rape Toriel in Undertale. People would be horrified.
I hope Subaru will grew out of his chuuni phase quickly. He died multiple times already, and he still doesn't take his position seriously.
Sex is all sorts of taboo. A child killing someone is more understandable than a child fucking someone against their will
Call it cultural hang-ups
Majority of Sup Forums would do better than this shitty self insert. I fucking bet even MAL and reddit could do better.
He drops a lot of it during arc 3 when things really get horrific.
being this delusional
I have a similar reckless abandon with women, and I appreciate his candor.
I hope Subaru will grew out of his chuuni phase quickly. He died multiple times already, and he still doesn't take his position seriously.
I think there will eventually be a time where a save point moves ahead before he wants it to and that'll be the impetus for a quick downward spiral in his mood. Just guessing though, I haven't read the WN.
Well, a lot of it goes, but you also need to think a lot more seriously about when something is ACTUALLY chuuni vs when it's a mask he puts on because he'd go insane otherwise
or at least MORE insane. Because he's constantly on the edge of a pretty bad fucking precipice that goes on forever, and he gets the sense at some point that if he lets himself totally lose it there really isn't anything that's going to save him. He could go into a cycle and just suffer eternally. Trying to assume some role and give himself some purpose or pretend it's "not very serious" or "I'm a chosen one I can figure out something" sort of blurs from genuine to "desperately clinging onto something".
I guess it's just his interaction with Emilia. He always turned into a retarded mouthbreather when she's around. He's not like that with the other girls.
I'm starting to wish for her to become less relevant.
Would you say he's literally you?
I would say he is figuratively me
Subaru's problem is that he charges headfirst into situations that get him killed.
So all you have to do to do better than Subaru is not be a retard. If you know there are punks looking to mug you in a dark alley, don't go into the dark alley. If you know someone's going to try to kill you if you enter the loot house, don't enter the loot house. If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there and never associate with those psychopaths.
Anyone who values their own life can do better than Subaru.
avoid all those situations
live some meager life as a peasant somewhere, since realistically you're worthless
die somehow, maybe violently, maybe old age
reset to the save point because yandere witch
You can choose to avoid those situations, but you'll never progress by doing so. And just living mediocre lives (no money, contacts, knowledge, skills, etc) will become old and likely drive you insane very quickly.
Not to mention the number of trial by error deaths you'll likely go through just learn how to live an average life in a medieval fantasy world with no help, friends, money, or anything.
Is that really doing better?
Compared to endless suffering? Yes.
If you know there are punks looking to mug you in a dark alley, don't go into the dark alley.
He learnt that one the hard way, but he did at least eventually learn to deal with that situation.
If you know someone's going to try to kill you if you enter the loot house, don't enter the loot house.
I mean I've just discovered I'll be reset to the same spot if I'm killed anyway but fuck trying to save that qt girl's life or anything lol
If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there
On the last night? It's an interesting thought. If I were him I'd hide somewhere and try to get a glimpse of the killer so that I at least know who it is.
and never associate with those psychopaths.
That use of plurals is either a spoiler or you're way too distrusting of other people.
The killer is the red man
But isn't dying and losing the entire life you worked for over and over only to be put back into that alley endless suffering?
Some lives you might die of old age as a farmer. Others you might simply die in a mugging a few days later. Some deaths might be horrible and slow, others fast. And you'll never move towards figuring your situation out.
There's still suffering.
What makes you think you won't trigger autosaves? You have to follow the plot exactly the same as Subaru to move forward? By that logic no one can do better than Subaru.
If you know someone's going to murder you in cold blood at a mansion after 5 days, maybe it'd be a good idea to get the fuck out of there and never associate with those psychopaths.
Doesn't work out so well
Except he hung out around the mansion instead of outright leaving.
It's even more suspicious.
No, not really.
Less stupid and inept when communicating with others?
Don't get me wrong, I have my own problems that would get me in some serious shit in his situation but I damn well know I could communicate and relate to people better than this sperg.
I mean I've just discovered I'll be reset to the same spot if I'm killed anyway but fuck trying to save that qt girl's life or anything lol
But muh "every life could be the last one"
This MAD of the LN is pretty good.
I'd probably just keep beating my head against a wall until I get what I want. I have a high tolerance for pain, grinding, and save scumming.
Nope, he has the average wit, above average willpower and thought process of an average /a/non. Anyone who says otherwise is really thinking too highly of themselves
Not bad.
Not at all. I'm certain I could do better in some areas, but for the most part I'd probably have less success than Subaru overall.
The average anon hides their power level, and does not let chuuni shit affect their behavior while amongst the normalfags.
You say that, but intellectually I am not average.
I am definitely smarter than Subaru, though I am admittedly probably weaker physically since he's apparently in pretty good shape. Willpower wise we're probably about the same.
So overall I'd say we probably even out somewhat but I think I would be able to figure out solutions to the problems that come up more quickly than him.
I miss heavy object.
I don't think that music is fitting for this series.
Granted you don't know what his motives behind his chunni shit are, its a rather good assessment.
Do you really think that you can get gutted multiple times and still be sane?
Anon, willpower doesn't work the same way in real life as it does in fiction.
I suspect most people would just abandon Emilia at some point, it just gets too tough.
I suspect that after a few drawn out deaths you would start having pretty severe mental issues as well.
getting gutted multiple times
Once would be enough for me, fuck that loot house. Half-elf Megumin and Felt are on their own.
You lost all progress though, you grind to level 2 you'd still be back at level 1 when you savescummed.
Later on in the story you'd find out that she was hired with a bounty on your head.
So you're fucked eitherway.
Do you really think that you can get gutted multiple times and still be sane?
Yes actually. I'm pretty sure I could handle it.
If actions were devoid of consequences shit would get dark fast
i'm sure some higher-being will get a real kick denying the savescum ability after you beat your rape hiscore the tenth time.
Really? Are you sure about that? Man who probably yell out profanities when he stubs his toe or gets a deep papercut?
fucked either way
Elsa route? Yes please. I will fight in order to be fucked the other way.
Well she does have a thing for necrophillia. So youre not completely wrong. It sucks you won't be alive when it happens though.
It takes a while to die from gut wounds anon, it's not like your chinese cartoons.
You don't know what the definition of necrophillia is do you?
Is that even a good thing?
Dying bodies = Dead bodies
bounty on your head
How did Subaru get out of that? I thought she didn't show up again until arc 4. She can't be too difficult to evade if you know how she'll find you.
There's a wide range of pain thresholds and you can normalize/numb yourself to anything. I had chronic appendicitis for several years. No physicians realized it because I just put up with the pain when you're normally buckled over. As a child a bully stuck a needle in the back of my neck while I was playing a card game. He was planning to just prick me and laugh when I jumped, but because I just kept playing he got the whole god damn needle in.
Professional wrestlers get banged up on nightly basis. They just take some painkillers and keep performing even when they need major surgery.
After dying once or twice, and knowing exactly what the pain is like and how long it lasts, I could believe a person can endure confronting a quick death. It's not like being lit on fire or skinned alive or crucified.
I'm no expert, but isn't it better to get them while they're still warm?
Because the person who put that bounty resides in the mansion.
Hint: Its nobody living in the mansion
lit on fire
That's considered one of the most painful ways to die right?
Some people like to get them when they're cold. Not to mention even if your body still retains heat you'd still be dead with no brain activity.
I mean more abstractly information and experience. Like knowing how someone telephones their punches, or leaving bobby traps in just the right place.
It's not like being lit on fire or skinned alive or crucified.
Boy do I have news for YOU
Doesn't he already practically do all that in the first episode onwards?
I don't understand how stealing an insignia has anything to do with Subaru.
What the fuck is that pic...
Just a peaceful oni
Are you and me watching the same show anon?
It doesn't, but it does have to do with him being summoned into that world though.
Its a picture of the cute maid girl.
So how does the bounty on his head coincide with stealing the insignia? Elsa didn't even know who he was.
It has nothing to do with the insignia. But it has everything to do with his respawn ability and why he was summoned into that world in the first palce.
Atleast I won't be a shitty meme/game spouter like this shitter. God is he insufferable this two episodes for not knowing the gravity of his situation
I'd like more trap-laying.
I have a strange feeling we may see this in a future episode, assuming suburban-kun can stop trying to fuck the meidos and elf and focus on what the fuck he can do to become useful.
Hint: Its nobody living in the mansion
Well you aren't wrong
This I too would also like, but I haven't read the WN so I'm pretty sure he's going to do that at some point. I mean he specialises in "debuff magic" so.
He's shit at magic
I know that, but his "low affinity" doesn't mean him using magic isn't completely useless right? No spoilers either please.
not like being lit on fire or skinned alive or crucified.
Hoh boy.
A maid doing her duties.
Taverns I'm guessing are the closest.
You could make a fortune by offering PERMANENT housing for much lower prices.
So? Just kill yourself and sleep forever. You've lived so long it'd be like taking a much needed rest.
That's how I'd see it at least.
Kill yourself
It respawns you AFTER the rape
What now?
Then I have a savepoint and continue my rape spree.
You need a different series.
Thighs man
Oh lord is it no longer on haitus?
Up to chapter 56.
Back to reading again then.
You are one cold-hearted sone of a bitch.
But it has been.
too deep for a hentai series
You've been reading the wrong kinds of hentai then.
No death= no consequences, I'd assume most people would turn out like that after a while. It doesn't matter anymore.
Nothing would matter anymore so you might as well indulge yourself. Even if you have a change of heart you can find a way out of it.
Dunno about you but I'd still have my virtues and morals to uphold. I'd probably throw my life away for a bad of chips if I had the ability to respawn.
You can literally just google timetravel and timestop hentai and you'd find a shitton of results.
Haha, to each their own I suppose.
The thing with respawning is that you can do anything really. You get to play the bad cop for a few lifetimes, then the good cop, then neutral, then everything else.
Personally I love the idea of breaking a princess for untold ages and then turning around and becoming her husband, best friend or even a court jester, then killing yourself to torture her for years. She would have no idea.
My guess is that people would just stop being people at some point.
I guess, once you become numb to something you don't really feel any backlash from it.
I think it would really depend on the person, wouldn't it?
I'd probably try about every shitty thing I ever felt like I wanted to try and had the stomach for, although I can imagine people truly being "moralfags" about it or really being determined to make something good out of what they were doing or achieve some greater outcome.
Like, are you playing the game of life with an arbitrary start, or are you somehow missing a "save" point?
Can you perhaps begin playing some other game at some point?
Even the most feckless and gormless sadist will probably accumulate enough of a sense of boredom and overall experience to transcend this kind of experience you speak of. Even if only for the sake of greater acts of self aggrandizement and sadism on a truly cosmic scale.
Or you might want to make an end of desire, but that's all Buddha type shit. I'd cross that line when I came to it, and probably well after I was truly God, the Demiurge, or the Devil.
Another fun alternative would be incarnating as either random people who are at very least not downgrades from your mental and physical abilities in your last life, either related to you or not. But in the same world over a course of time. You could appreciate your accomplishments in the past knowingly, and either reveal or not reveal the fact that it's you.
Why is it in every Re:Zero thread there is alot of talk about deep shit?
Because it explores the depth of your morality; what would become of someone if there were no consequences to speak of.
had a good point
The problem is that there's no guarantee that that he can savescum indefinitely. He has no real control over the ability and no idea when the "save point" changes, so there's no guarantee he can just reverse the consequences whenever he wants to.
Alright, his "affinity" makes him really, really shit at magic.
Subaru is legitimately retarded and always makes the most retarded choices too. Him surviving Elsa was entirely sheer luck.
He didn't survive Elsa though he would have been dead if Emilia wasn't there.
I'd probably figure out the situation a tad more quicker than Subaru. Though I'd be hard-pressed about willpower and physical strength.
WN reader here.
No spoilers huh? How's this
He got the absolute shit end of the genetic pool for magic. BUT....
He is blood-related to Jackie Chan.
Are there any fab translations anywhere?
Illegal, of course. But also don't feel like waiting 2 months for yen press
Jackie Chan
Edits when?
Nope, none as of yet.
Does he use ladders while protecting a baby when wanting no trouble?
Technically, after arc 3 he does almost exactly that.
I'd probably try out alot more routes compared to MC but by the end of it I'll probably receive poorer results from it.
Well shit.
We don't need any edits, this shit is chock full of jackie chan antics.
This Jackie Chan shit kinda pisses me off, honestly. He's just some dude, not a fucking black belt in table fu.
This is young stuntman Jackie Chan getting his ass beat by Bruce Lee tier. He has yet to prove himself as the post ladder/tablemaster Jackie Chan as of yet. But from what I heard from people talking about the WN be does become one.
He's Japanese you dolt. That's just how they roll I imagine.
I dunno anon, japs can think up and do some crazy shit.
I've been doing that kind of shit since I was 10
Kicking tables and blocking thrown knives? Were you on pills while these things happened?
When did you discover your powers?
Was it also a hologram?
You may be a crossbaorder but holy shit did you get me with that reference.
I use this. My imouto does the stabbing.
It takes a crossboarder to know a crossboarder.
What sort of fucked up household did you live in to be trying to prevent getting stabbed by your sister using tables?
Hey man, I like my vidya as much as I like my anime. Is taht not a good balance?
Maybe just a bit but I sure won't fare any better than him but unlike him I would decide to abandon emila eventually.
Do you have siblings
So you're telling me he was marked for death from the start?
Two younger sisters and a family freind taht visits every weekend. Except I'm not an absolute douchenozzel towards them to warrant such a reaction.
Tonight is going to be good. We will see how vicious and evil rem is.
You should finger them to teach them a lesson anon.
That'll show them and earn the respect you deserve.
I think you replied to the wrong anon.
Oh god I can't wait for the animefags reactions.
And the best part is that you will always know she has evil and vicious intentions, no matter what she says or how cute she looks.
Is this all fake to you?
I'm waiting for people to hate her then love her. It will be glorious.
It's just a misunderstanding.
As of now yes, so don't spoil me.
I have 2 brothers. We used to throw knives at each other when it got rough. Hence why I asked. I guess all families are different.
does subaru's phone battery % reset when the world resets?
No, but then again I fucking hate this entire SAO rip off
Vicious girl is best girl. Would gladly get brutally murdered for her.
The witch won't like it
We used to throw knives at each other when it got rough
What the fuck?
Yes it does. It's the same with photos.
Why does it remind me of that one episode of that TV show on Disney where two brothers in a foreign country threw knives at each other in a bazaar?
Ok, I'm assuming my family wasn't normal then. But I can tell you I threw my fair share of chairs and flipped up a few tables in self defense over the years.
I think you should look into the prospective jobs of being a stuntman
I mean sure, I've gotten my fair share of stuff thrown at me such as stillettos, really shart art prodjects and household appliances but KNIVES? Do your parents not care that there ware lethat weapons being thrown about all willy-nilly aound the house?
The extent of my dexterity was limited to being half decent at DDR. I don't really think I would make a good stuntman. I guess I was just arguing that it's easy to hold up a table and sort of use it as a shield without much practice.
It happened only on a few occasions, not really a consistent thing, but still left me with some strange memories
Sounds to me like you hard years of practice kicking tables in the air to block thrown knives. Given how you described your family situation it probably happened often.
is this the LN adaptation with good suffering dosages?
It amps it up every arc. With the most recent chapters of the WN nothing much hasn't happened since all the shit went down but everyone is paranoid.
Rem is a very loving woman and you don't know shit.
Not him but I am having a hard time believing that you had the reaction time and expertise to block knives mid-air which I assumed were thrown at you with full force by kicking tables to intercept them. Without repeated occurances and practice.
It was pretty much a circus. We were called the "<lastname> mad house" by family friends.
Spoil me LN fags,
why was he summoned to that world?
We don't know. It's still an absolute mystery. But we do know who summoned him but there are so many possible theories as to why. One likely theory is that the respawn curse is to morph him into the perfect husbando.
Dunno but we know that the person who summoned him was the Witch Of Envy who is the equivalent to satan in that world.
So you'll just have to wait for more of the WN and LN readers to read the latest chapters when the author uploads them.
Thanks, hope it isn't because 'I summoned you to defeat me' bullshit.
Nah, that's for Reinhardt to do. MC isn't the MC to his own series.
But why?
You'll find out.
Literal wife material
Morality mostly.
well me and my brother got into knife trowing matches, but we didnt throw them at each other, usualy, just at trees
I wouldn't need more than 4 tries to find out that I've been respawning. Probably 3 at most though I would attemt to purposefully kill myself at the second loop. I probably wouldn't be able to bear the pain of being gutted alive though, I've been impaled once in my life, I don't need it to happen again.
You've been impaled?
Javelin tossing is serious buissness bruh.
When does she die? I'm still reading through the third part.
He won't trigger auto saves because a certain yandere witch won't do it. He's in the new world for a reason, and the reset is there for him to go down a specific path.
Except he interactions with people just fine and is practically bros with every character outside he crazies by the and of the 3rd arc. You sound like be more of an asshole then anything else.
Have any of you guys ever had a dream where you die in the end? Shit is horrible and if you're not aware it's a dream it's even worse. But then you wake up and everything is fine again. So yeah, I would say he can do better.
Honestly, I would probably just train gradually like the guy in All You Need is Kill. Not to make myself hyper-broken or anything, but because it is absolutely clear that I completely lack the basic skills to survive in a swords-and-sorcery world.
Like, logically the best option would be to resolve things in the same paradigm as everyone else. You now have infinite time to get yourself up to at least basic competency, so what's the hurry?
I mean, dying really fucking sucks. I would probably be completely supine from the sheer agony of my first death.
Have any of you guys ever had a dream where you die in the end? Shit is horrible and if you're not aware it's a dream it's even worse.
I always seem to conveniently wake up a moment before severe pain would have kicked in. I've had a dream where I've 'woken up' into another dream a few times before though. That sense of being trapped in an unknown reality and 'loading to a save point' against your own control can be a truly horrifying experience so it's something I can really empathise with Subaru about.
How long until the airing?
~2 hours 15 mins
curse stench apparently only gets stronger each time you die so you should be good as long you don't die.
But then again, everyone who isn't Subaru would do better seeing as they wouldn't be constantly chasing after Emilia and getting fucked over.
I wouldn't keep going to the same point of my death even once, if I even remotely found out, "oh that route leads me to death" I wouldn't do it, it's something called rational thinking
I don't really understand why he's putting her on a pedestal like that. It's not like there aren't equally attractive girls about.
Not to mention he should have realized that being with Emilia keeps killing him and he should haul ass from that mansion ASAP.
Yeah, I mean, I think you'd draw a correlation!
All his deaths stem directly from the fact he's hanging around her. Shit's fucked.
Unless, its something magical causing him to fall in love with her.
It's a metaphor for dating and marriage
Well I'd certainly be taking it a lot more seriously and being much more cautious than what he's being. Although there seems to be too many unknown variables to the point it would be hard to build a solid plan around unless, like him, you just die over and over again until you figure it out. Honestly though it feels like he just makes things much worse by putting himself in these bad situations by associating with dangerous people. Still though, don't know the true conditions of his curse. It would be fucked up if you went years building a life only to die and end up at the beginning because of an unknown trigger.
I start to think that the witch has warped his mind when she transfered him.
Can't read the LN or WN so I can't be what is actually th clue for this supposed strangeness.
Yes. I would find a way to meet up with the witch(?) from the first episode, tell her of my power and offer to be her ally. Her side clearly has its shit together. Emilia's side is too incompetent to deserve to win, and I have no more reason to support her than the witch.
Honestly, I'd have lit out on her after the big brawl with the assassin. Maybe asked the Sword Sage to put in a good word for me, let me get into the Academy or something.
Fuck, I'd have tried anything else other than staying around her!
It's not like he couldn't spend a lifetime or so training.
"What do you want for a reward?"
"Enrol me in knight school."
"What do you want for a reward?"
"I want to learn magic."
Rokka no Yuusha now?
Do you have a name for that image senpai?
Remember that he trained every day, and the rules of the world he's in say he's strong.
It's like having a STR stat of 50 in different games.
On Earth, 50STR means you can punch a plank of wood in half, in the parallel world it means you can punch boulders.
Of course, I will most definitely not start try harding for a random girl and then use the only ability I got for her.
Orstred from Mushoku Tensei?
Subaru is a great MC because he's heart first head second.
Characters who are head first like eggs from Inahoe's Wild Space Adventures, Batman, etc are fun to watch because they win.
Subaru is fun to watch because he loses. I'm enjoying this show the most this season even after reading the spoilers.
Give me your dumb MCs anyday. If it were real life, I'll take an OPERATOR.
I really hope this would be in the anime, but I doubt it.
This show is still super enjoyable, it's just that his deaths are 100% preventable since they depend on one condition that he can easily change.
Subaru is more like dick first, heart second, head third but that's why this series is interesting instead of Subaru minmaxing and becoming OP in the space of a few episodes.
his deaths are 100% preventable since they depend on one condition that he can easily change.
You just pulled that assertion straight out of your ass.
Every single one of his deaths except the time the thugs accidentally stabbed him is because he's involved with Emilia, which he can easily change.
That condition = Emilia. The specific deaths are hard as fuck to change but the overall reason is very easy to change.
yes. there is some obvious stuff he didn't even think about trying
So why doesn't he just abandon Emilia?
Because he wants to fug her really bad. His real saviour was Reinhardt, considering he was the one who managed to beat Elsa, so it's not like he's even indebted to her.
So, say he leaves Emilia. Then he either lives a pointless life in which he does nothing interesting since he's got no skills or background or resources, or just randomly dies due to medieval fantasy shit. Eventually he dies. Dying in a fantasy world is probably equally as common everywhere away from Emilia too.
Then he just resets to the last Emilia related save point he had. And this will happen over and over until he goes down the path Satella wants.
Because he thinks with his little head.
Well, it's not wrong to fall in love and temporarily die for your love interest.
The first death would be the worst, but if you figure out that death resets fast then you should prepare something that can kill you nice and quick.
If you had access to modern weapons that'd be a gun or grenade or something.
Or if nothing else, poison or painkillers or something, or just something that knocks you out so you are at least unconscious when death hits.
Still it'd suck
I honestly don't like Emilia. She's boring and I think the artstyle makes her look ugly.
This is the reason I just can't fully enjoy this anime. It doesn't matter how hot the girl is, no one is retarded enough to stick with this shit for a very low possibility to dick a hot girl.
I love the ending song of the show, each time it sounds when the episode is almost over it makes me smile
Apparently the reason for it becomes clear later on in the series. It has something to do with
no one is retarded enough to stick with this shit for a very low possibility to
stick with this shit
Hearing that while he gets slaughtered spooked me.
I know about Satella but her being Emilia is still not confirmed. Even if Satella is Emilia though it doesn't change the fact that Subaru is trying a little too hard for a chick he just met.
Yeah, the timing for it to come on is always perfect. Its so nice and upbeat and then the scenes afterward tend give a emotional whiplash.
Like last weeks episode when Subaru dies after the ED ends.
After dying that gruesome death, how will he manage to do anything?
I'd be fucking traumatized and scared of dying like that again, no girl's smile is worth that shit.
He is not stuck with Emilia, he can just leave her.
Yeah, your IQ can't be higher than 103.
the power of his dick will guide him
Never doubt Gutsman
He is not stuck with Emilia, he can just leave her.
You honestly think he's not just going to find himself back at that fruit stand over and over until he goes along with her?
He could leave her. Then he'd wait her live a life as a peasant and die of old age. Die in a mugging. Get killed by a fantasy monster. Or just die in some other way.
And then he'd res pawn and be right back with Emilia.
And the number of anons who think they'd be able to live meaningfully in a medieval world full of magic and monsters with no money or special abilities is just too funny.
So.. He'd have an entire lifetime to learn how to not be useless? Multiple lifetimes?
i'd still be stuck in the first loop trying to bed gutslicer
Yes, he literally can just die, reset, not go back to Emilia, and profit by not getting into situations that will just kill him.
Stop this shit, if he really wanted to follow his dick, then this series would end up being a hentai. It's like you're shitposting.
And then after another 8000 loops we'll have finally made it to episode 4! No offence intended, but I like the actual story way more than your awful ideas.
Or you know, he could leave her and try to find a path back to earth, or he can go on a search for Satella so he can remove the curse. Anything reasonable besides just wanting a fucking vagina.
I'm new in the thread bro, but it's the truth, the main reason the character just repeats everything trying to avoid his death even if it's influenced by just meeting Emilia is that he loves her and wants to fuck her
If it wasn't by that he would just have explored other options, but from the start he just wanted to help her, even after he died two times trying to get the fucking badge
He'd go insane very quickly from that. Humans aren't meant to live potentially hundreds of years while losing everything over and over.
What are you even talking about?
become a homeless faggot
You'd suck dicks?
he could leave her and try to find a path back to earth
Every bad criticism of this series has been making me love this series more and more.
I thought it was obvious when I gave a large number of loops but that was apparently lost in communication. Let me re-phrase it: how many times would you need to loop back before you hit the next save point? Keep in mind that you're going to be stuck there until you finally hit the sequence where you're waking up in Emilia's mansion.
New in the the thread.
Kill yourself, newfag. Lurk more before posting.
This show has surprisingly made me value my life a little more.
Just a little.
tfw I thought Re:zero released on Saturdays so I wasted all day waiting for it because I had nothing better to do
You didn't think to check while you waited? Oh dear.
5 mins
get in here niggas
We wait for another hour or less.
Says the butthurt anon.
He doesn't need to go to the next save point. He doesn't need to be with Emilia the one causing all this problems.
I thought it released on like 1am Sunday which would like 5-6pm on saturday in my time zone but turns out Re:zero releases on 1am on Monday which is actually 5-6pm on SUNDAY.
Can you link to the stream?
I really detest Subaru. Most punchable face of the season whenever he is talking to Emilia and gets excited.
NTR can't come soon enough.
butthurt anon.
oh no my opinions aren't being validated must attack their character!
He doesn't need to go to the next save point.
That's like saying time doesn't need to move forward. You dodged the question. How many times do you think it would take before you went down that timeline if you were in that situation? Would it take ten? Hundreds? Thousands and thousands? Any answer that isn't a number only demonstrates that you're not even capable of understanding the situation Subaru is in.
Where did you found trasnlated LN or even WN? All i could found was deleted due license.
Most punchable face of the season whenever he is talking to Emilia and gets excited.
I can't stand the thought of another man having a sex drive.
All LN translations got taken down and the anime will be past the LNs once the official version of the vol 1 gets released in July.
No, fuck you. This shit is corny as fuck and Subaru's smiles are annoying.
How would he be able to do any of that given his lack of knowledge, skills, money, or anything?
And considering Roswaal is the highest authority on magic in the kingdom, he and Emilia are still his best bet. Use your brain anon.
25 episodes
Free me from this hell.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. That's pretty lulzy. Save the hate for genuinely bad MCs.
Being angry and retarded isn't going to stop people from pointing out the flaws of your favorite anime. I don't feel like answering you when you can barely understand my fucking point.
Please spoil me.
Why is Satella yandere for Subaru? How did she develop feelings for him in the first place since they're worlds apart?
I would disregard half-elven muttwhore and go for Felt. Would be fun, together we would make some cash, robbing old folks and making a dash.
Hasn't been revealed yet, the series isn't over.
I can't listen to the illiterate, plebeian.
illiterate plebeian
Isn't that typical?
fucking beatrice
That's exactly my point why would he stick with EMILIA at first when there's bigger priorities than trying to get in the pants of a girl. The guy is so retarded that he is willing to give his only source of money away when he literally has nothing.
muh self insert is more alpha than me!
I love how 95% of Anons complaints about Subaru is that "he doesn't act more like
me a typical high school MC!"
Do people actually speak glorious Nipponese or is the curse giving him a free translation perk?
that subtle cleavage
Jesus why is she so perfect
No matter how long you tried to avoid Emilia, after enough loops, you'd eventually cave in and try to help her. Maybe you're so stubborn that it would take millions. I don't know you well enough to say.
But either way, you're stuck there, and you'd have to let the plot progress eventually. In light of that, complaining that the pacing is too fast because you'd have done things differently is pretty baseless and asinine. I'd rather see the kind of MC who happens to take interest in the plot device immediately rather than after hundreds of episodes.
25 episodes of suffering
That's a long time to watch Subaru never fuck Emi-tan.
I wonder this as well, seeing how the writing is different from english/japanese
how r u streaming new ep alredy r u a wizard
啊 啊 啊 啊 啊 啊 啊
If the Japanese already have 3 alphabets, it's not really surprising to imagine a hypothetical fourth one that exists in a fantasy world.
Did they show the opening?
Why would he even loop if he isn't killed off because of Emilia, that's literally the my who fucking point.
Why would he even loop if he isn't killed off because of Emilia
Because he's a mortal human who would eventually die anyway. If he dies, he loops. Is that really so difficult to comprehend?
Imagine that each loop is a full life and that you've completed thousands. Do you really think you wouldn't eventually stumble into that route out of curiosity?
killer eyes
Blue and red oni storytelling.
what are we gonna do in the bed?
Oh no, he's gonna leave to the forest.
Getting lewd in here.
Credits, they are really using up the time in the show.
gotta survive this time
Puck is turning me into furry
come at me bro
Man... was that it? I wanted to see him die this episode.
He does push Daru. IIRC, he also CONSIDERS raping Suzuha. She notices something is wrong with Okabe and snaps him out of it though or something...
But he can search for a way of stopping the curse during all those lifetimes. My original point was that his character ignores priorities that a normal person would have after entering a whole new world, just to chase a girl he just met and even go as far as giving away his only source of money. To top it off he is suppose to be a NEET but the way he flirts with Emilia without problems clashes with that.
What, is she trying to kill him because his hair is messy or something?
He smells like a pagan.
yes, more jackie chan antics.
tell me lads, why is Emilia-tan so perfect?
I think once your brain figures out that death and pain are useless concepts, you won't feel anything anymore.
Basically, every time he dies
the witch smell gets stronger and they hate it because the witch is a world-ending evil
You can basically do that even if you don't have Subaru's ability. Ever heard of those buddhist monks who set themselves on fire but are completely calm about it?
ending the episode on this scene for maximum shock factor
nice decision I think. it'll be bland if they're revealing that on the middle of the episode like other show *cough* AssClass second season*cough*
Aw yee, they really did get that far into it? I was worried they'd draw it out to one death per episode, which would make this arc take forever
I actually mean that you get used to it until you don't feel anything anymore. Similarly to how I was overwhelmed when I had my first orgasm but nowadays just jack off to go to sleep.
Best hair
Ah, yeah that makes sense that you would desensitised to a certain sensation, provided you experienced it often enough.
I was overwhelmed when I had my first orgasm
What a loser.
To be fair, I was like 11 and fapped to imouto porn.
Does she ever become less relevant? I'm hoping for that myself.
Emilia starts to hate Subaru later on. She's pretty irrelevant for the remainder of the anime. She becomes relevant again afterwards in the WN.
I'd hide my powerlevel at least.
He acts exactly like a typical mc and even uses all the "funny" cultural memes the people who watch this should love.
He doesn't act like a typical MC because he's already picked out his waifu and knows how to ignore other girls.
I'm a little disappointed this episode didn't make more progress. thought we'd be moving faster than this.
He even gets killed by Puck? what the fuck
Puck doesn't kill him there, he just shows off a shadow spell and subaru freaks the fuck out.
If I were in his shoes, it would be a completely different show. I have no game and I don't typically approach girls at all, so I would've went a different path from the start. I would make the most boring MC for a series like this.
Oh, I see. It seemed weird that one of the only friendly characters just decided to kill him.
Not there, but later.
In arc 3, after Emilia is killed. Reinhart, than comes in and kills puck afterwards.
You would be doing what any normal NEET would do.
What the fuck I hate Adol Christin now
I wished he died in this episode, oh well. Which one would have been better, him dying this episode, or him dying in the next episode which will be very dark throughout the majority especially with him
breaking down?
truly the face of evil
Green haired loli is gonna be split in two.
Sure. At least i would have noticed by the end of the 1st episode that i died not once, but twice.
Do you really think you could do better than Subaru, knowing just as little as he knows about everything?
No. I probably wouldn't have died so fast for the first time cause I'm a fucking coward.
I'd end up living a boring life as a farmer, merchant or something along those lines.
Then I'd be even more confused if I got back because my whole life was fucking a lie.
but do you know what can change nature of man?
Little Elsa.
Good luck recharging your smartphone smart ass.
You know, eventually even Stella is going to give up on you and say fuck this, and take away that power.
He doesn't have one. Barely anyone owns a solar charger like that, and absolutely no one takes it with them on a night walk to the local store.
Do you really think you could do better than Subaru, knowing just as little as he knows about everything?
Yes, why is this a question?
Subaru is incredibly dense and not very intelligent.
This guy has a fucking flip phone, he is not caught up.
If I kept screwing up and going back to the start to that damn fruit stand, I'd just get pissed and abduct the fruit stand owner's loli daughter and fuck her ad infinitum.
Because she saved his ass when she didn't have to, instead of just leaving him on streets to die, but seems some people have attention span of a goldfish around here.
flip phones are popular in japan
This isn't a video game world you retard
You can make a lead-acid battery fairly easily. You'd need to know how... but you could make a battery output some volts with some metals and acid.
Reinhardt actually saved him. Elsa was a bigger threat than some hoodlums in a back alley.
the novel was written in 2012
mfw max charm and intelligence NO would basically become an omnipotent god compared to subaru
You'd need to know how
Exactly. That's not common knowledge, because we generally don't need to bother learning how to make one.
For context
this happens in alternate timeline where Puck freeze the entire region in grief. Subaru is just caught in it.
Exactly. That's not common knowledge, because we generally don't need to bother learning how to make one.
But OP asked if anon could do better, meaning if said anon knew how to do it then he could.
flip phones are popular in japan
Not as much. If you go to any major city, like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama. Most people have smartphones (even a cheap one).
Flip phones are literally poor tier or children tier these days
I might be a little retarded and slow but has anyone noticed the bigger the 4chan thread the more laggy scrolling is?
ITT: delusional NEETs and neckbeards who think their godlike brainpower will win the day
You're a high-schooler. You go to a new world. Decide to help out this magic elf chick who's the only one that's helped you out so far, and die, and decide fuck that.
You have no money, food, or connections. Nothing you have is (to your knowledge) worth anything. You aren't exceptionally skilled, unless you're a kid who works some sort of manual labor or craftsman job part time during school. You have no knowledge of the new world, it's language, currency, economy, or anything.
At best you live a pretty shitty life as a laborer or farmer, and never really become educated in the new world because you're too busy trying to keep food on the table. Chances are your employers take advantage of you. And nobody really trusts or cares about you, as you have no background or family. At worst, you die in a mugging or get eaten by a monster or some shit. In the end, you die. Maybe due to old age, going through Alzheimer's or cancer, maybe due to sickness or starvation, maybe violently. It's a medieval fantasy world, after all.
Then you're right back in that alley, until you do what Satella wants. How much of that can you go through until you go insane?
Actually with the right knowledge you could kickstart a chemical industry. But without capital you really are 100% fucked
Who cares? That just means Subaru owes him too and go bat for him. Either in both case he died or could of have died. Point is that Subaru is very good people who help him out.
The bigger the page gets, the slower your toaster PC works? Unvelievable. Download more ram.
Do you really think you could do better than Subaru, knowing just as little as he knows about everything?
I would do better at living a normal life out of sight of the powers that be. I doubt I would ever realize I can't die since I would die of very old age.
I'm a careful and unobtrusive person. Any sort of technological advancement I would bring about from my knowledge I would diffuse greatly so as to avoid any of it being traced back to me.
As far as being a hero that saves girls and shit? He's doing much better than I would by simple virtue of caring about that.
How much of that can you go through until you go insane?
This isn't groundhod day where you relive 1 day no matter what, so why would you go insane?
Fear of death is gone and you're given an infinite amount of time to do anything.
Knowledge is power and with amassed knowledge of the world and events you have incredible power and can easily use this to your advantage.
You're given what most people dream of, a change to undo your mistakes and you're telling me that would make one go insane?
her staring at him wasn't because of his hair, that was a cover
But without capital you really are 100% fucked
With knowledge you can get capital.
That's because it won't. Has been said time and time again this arc ends in ep10 I'm even guessing this ends at ep11 or 12.
If you're already tired about this then arc 3 will make you quit it. Since the projected number of episodes for it is 15.
Still think a better place to end the episode would be after his death.
Oh yeah I'm sure
"So you can't even read or write and you have this idea?"
Best case scenario is that whoever you pitch your idea to steals it and invests in it themselves.
That's because that is the only thing you are looking forward to. How he dies.
"So you can't even read or write and you have this idea?"
I'm not talking starting to try convince traders or some shit right away you idiot.
No wonder you think Subaru is a genius.
Yes. Say in your frist life you make it to old age. Go through Alzheimer's or some other degenerative disease that strips you apart piece by piece as a person. Say you get burned at the stake or some shit.
Losing whatever life you made and all your emotional connections will drive you batshit. So will pain from brutal enough deaths or horrible experiences.
Anyone who thinks that they, and humans in general, are psychologically capable of that is full of shit.
Maybe 10 years ago grandpa. But Japan realized they liked Iphones. Now some of the more rural places still have guys who use flip phones. Same with poor people. Not that different from the States.
The entire point of the story is that even a retard, given enough retries, can succeed.
So yes.
Losing whatever life you made and all your emotional connections will drive you batshit.
No it wouldn't. I'm not an emotional person at all. Stop projecting.
And if reinhardt weren't the one guard that came to his rescue.
Ngl that would make this show into a 9.5/10 if he said really cheesy one liners every time he died
Fear of death is gone
You're an idiot if you think this is ever going to be true.
you're telling me that would make one go insane?
Losing everything over and over and the pain of dying over and over? Yes, it would. And say after 100 lives you somehow live a perfect one, then you just reset again and lose everything - it was all pointless.
So then what do you do? Just retrace your steps and try to live the same exact life again? As we've seen with Subaru, even tiny changes or things you've forgotten can change your next loop for the worse. And there's not a chance you'll perfectly remember an entire lifetime.
Losing whatever life you made and all your emotional connections will drive you batshit.
You're forgetting that time heals all wounds. Even the most ardent love gets tempered and dies if you're away from it for long enough. That's just how humans are. We pick up and move on. Those who can't are the exception, not the rule.
Here's the moral of the story kids, go home.
muh heart and nerves of steel
i don't care about friends or family or my life
nothing matters to me
loss of my entire life wouldn't do anything to me
why are you even alive then
You're forgetting that time heals all wounds.
That's really not true at all.
You're an idiot if you think this is ever going to be true.
The fear of death is mostly tied to 2 things, fear of the unknown and survival instincts.
if you know you won't die and you know where you're gonna end up why woudl you be afraid? Only the fear of pain would remain.
Losing everything over and over and the pain of dying over and over?
Maybe you're not accustomed to loss but I am. So the fact that I could be given the chance to unfuck things and undo my mistakes is something I would welcome.
then you just reset again and lose everything - it was all pointless.
So you try a new one or rebuild the old one but do things slightly differently. I fail to see how this would drive me insane (I won't say "anyone" since I know people are different).
The only time it might even border on "insanity" is when you have basically done everything imaginable and just start to get bored.
Do you really think you could do better than Subaru
sure I do. he's a delinquent who acts first before thinking. on the other side, too much thinking made me pessimistic. This is exactly why I wouldn't make the same first impression on Emilia as he did.
And I wouldn't trigger Emilia/Satella flag, I wouldn't respawn for oh so many times.
That's really not true at all.
How old are you?
Even ignoring the "time heals all wounds" which can be argued. Everything you just said is said under the assumption of a regular human life span. When your life span is infinite and you just have to repeat a (since it's lower tech) ~40-60 year timeframe over and over while everything you know resets each loop, you inevitably turn into a soulless turbo-autist machine. It's just a question of when.
muh heart and nerves of steel
I used to be an emotional and shy kid, but after my father died of a heart attack, my mother left me, my best friend died, my dog got run over, my first girlfriend died of cancer then yes I have gotten pretty numb to it because I was forced to.
This might seem pretty absurd but my life has been pretty shit.
Frienldy reminder that the entire premise is more interesting than the show itself.
Things die. It is the way of life. All we do is try to find a reason to go on, build it again. I have found mine. Why don't you find something?
you inevitably turn into a soulless turbo-autist machine.
I don't think that's a statement you can apply to every human. Depending on the mind set of a person, it is entirely possible a person would have the mental fortitude (or maybe just the lack of care) to live through these experiences.
This is the first series where I don't know whether the OP or ED will really play in an episode. It's like the studio is saying "we need more time".
You're a high-schooler.
No I'm not. 4-chan is for 18+
if you know you won't die
This is true enough, but there's also the fact that Subaru (and you) don't know if Return by Death has a limit. Or is Satella will just get pissed off and do something.
Only the fear of pain would remain.
I really think you're trivializing this and instinct too much.
Maybe you're not accustomed to loss but I am.
I highly doubt you're accustomed to losing 50+ years of your life.
The only time it might even border on "insanity" is when you have basically done everything imaginable and just start to get bored.
If you try to live the same life over and over (which you won't, nobody has a memory that good), you'll start to deteriorate. And then when you consider the fact that simply turning down the wrong street one day out of 70 years or so of memory might get you killed, you start to freak.
I have to wonder about the memory aspect of it all. I feel like the longer you're alive, the less useful Return by Death becomes. You simply won't be able to remember everything well enough. And I wonder how going through mental diseases and then reviving would affect you.
until you do what Satella wants
Here's the big revelation guys. It's all because a Yandere cthulu wants it. You're welcome for spoiling it, now you can enjoy the show for what it is.
Why is Puck the best?
repeating 40-60 years
You don't need to repeat those years the same way. That's 40-60 years of life you can live completely differently with the experiences and knowledge of your previous lives. It's effectively immortality, there's no reason you're going to turn into a soulless husk just because you live longer.
Anyone save that picture with the chibi version of the witches?
I'd ask the same of you. Considering there are World War veterans still alive who still suffer deeply from PTSD and other traumas, or billions of other people who haven't recovered from loss or suffering, you seem to be very sure of your emotional superiority and willpower compared to humanity as a whole.
Read the Spatterjay trilogy by Neal Asher, it touches upon the possible mindsets required for humans to go through life spans of more than a century. They're also fun books that would make good anime.
a novel is an authority on psychology
my favorite meme
Then let me rephrase that. Would your 17 year old self do better than Subaru is?
When I saw that I thought she was just doing spins next to him while he was walking down a hall.
Had a good laugh when I realized he was supposed to be walking circles around her.
Considering there are World War veterans still alive who still suffer deeply from PTSD and other traumas, or billions of other people who haven't recovered from loss or suffering,
Yet there are also some who did recover from their PTSD, loss and suffering.
That's what I'm getting at, reactions to events like this isn't something uniform across humanity. It'll be a very case-by-case thing.
Also, I'm 33.
His fur is top notch for petting and snuggling.
What besides fiction could discus humans living for over 120 years, you dolt? No hard science currently could.
he was going to run out of time eventually as well, either going mad or completely losing his super abilities, at least if I recall correctly
something about he was getting closer to his goal earlier on, and he kept getting farther away each reset until the one we experienced
Man, a lesson on psychology, whew! What next, /pol/ invading Sup Forums when Youjo Senki airs?
That still doesn't change the fact that time does not in fact heal all wounds for a great portion of humans.
I'd argue most people never really heal, and that they simply learn to function while coping.
It just depends on the trauma and the person in question. And I think having 70 years of experience ripped away, or some sort of gruesome death, are pretty significant wounds.
This argument is pointless as anyone who isn't similar to Subaru wouldn't be chosen by the Witch in the first place.
Could be worse. Could be a Griffith did nothing wrong thread.
Pretty true. Subaru got chosen due to his impulsive, emotional nature and willpower.
And honestly, yeah, he spouts memes and acts retarded, but he's not actually that dumb once you get further down the plot and he realizes how shit his situation is. A lot of it is him trying to act like nothings wrong while he's cracking on the inside.
I'd like Subaru to push it a bit more with the strategy, just before being killed is a pretty decent time to get information since they'll kill you anyway, perhaps.
Although there is the other way to look at it, they won't tell you shit since they're just there to kill you and they'd rather get back to what they were doing before.
Is she free casting these time reversal spells or something?
I wouldn't had talked to the semi elf, and I've would started to look about magic. Other than that, I don't know.
I think it's theorized to be an Authority of one of the other Witches.
And if not, then yeah (or she's just world jumping him, we'll never know). She's that powerful. Pretty much the Satan of their world.
We made little progress that episode.
think we'll see his suicide next week?
it'd be far more interesting if someone was incarnated into the shoes of an existing individual who had a large impact on history, and the "game" reset whenever you did something that altered the impact they had in a meaningful way
so you get booted back into Napoleon's shoes and have to figure out how to do accomplish everything he did without fucking everything up or you';re stuck there forever
Rem a shit.
Subaru's voice actor is really good
I just want to buy one of these twin maids.
I surely thought it was the red maid
Im surprised, well done Re:zero
Rem a shit.
everyone is shit!
Emilia is the jealous witch
Rem is a violent cunt
ram fucks roswaal
Well not enough time to fit everything into this episode. They should have just cut the opening.
What is worse, younger sister is more stacked ;_;
Puck isn't shit.
Just gotta go for bestboy Reinhard
He's the only person that never fucks Subaru over in one way or another
He also has a divine blessing for blowjob skills and waifu work
Just noticed this while watching. Notice how emilia's reflection is looking away from Subaru's reflection. Is this a foreshadowing? I haven't read the manga by the way.
Puck is one of the few "midget magic animal" characters we've had recently that I can stand.
At the end of episode 5
Subaru was throwing up, was he poisoned by the food he ate or something?
He gets crazier every time he dies.
Me too. I mean it was definitely one of them.
Beatrice and Emilia are best girls so far.
Emilia is the jealous witch
I wouldn't be supriesed.
Manga is taking too much time. I hate these situations when anime catches up and you are left with cliffhanger for weeks
They explain it in the next episode you dense fuck.
Dog bite assassination.
I wasn't aware that the next episode with subtitles was already out. Thanks a lot.
We may see
him reaching the cliff's edge, and Beatrice confronting him (similar to how the manga chapter ended) Could be for the Third arc.
I didn't know this was 25 episodes. If it was 12 the pace they are going out would be ridiculous.
This is true enough, but there's also the fact that Subaru (and you) don't know if Return by Death has a limit.
After a certain amount of deaths you will start to worry less and less.
I really think you're trivializing this and instinct too much.
If you know you will be sent back in time this will be extremely lessened. You might not seek out to die (in most cases) but you wouldn't actively avoid it as you did before unless you had a good reason to.
I highly doubt you're accustomed to losing 50+ years of your life.
Jarring sure, but you wouldn't (at least I wouldn't) go insane. You also assume that it would pass by for this long the first time when you're thrown into a new fantasy world.
If you try to live the same life over and over (which you won't, nobody has a memory that good), you'll start to deteriorate. And then when you consider the fact that simply turning down the wrong street one day out of 70 years or so of memory might get you killed, you start to freak.
You keep on projecting and pulling out these examples pretending that they prove something. You don't understand that things and events affect people vastly differently and assume everyone would react and think the way you do, which is ignorant.
Not fitting music really, it nostalgically reminds me of bros executing amazing save the day plans.
It's too happy.
Me too ;_;
After a certain amount of deaths you will start to worry less and less.
YOU might. Others may very well grow more concerned over time. Is there a max limit? Did they pass some sort of "deactivation" checkpoint somehow? What if they end up worse off after the next death?
I'd argue that any of us here have been over-exposed to these types of stories to the extent that we very well might react significantly differently than someone with little to no experience with the same type of setting would.
It'd be like if some bored housewife that only cleans and watches soap operas gets throw into an mmo-type setting: they'd have no fucking clue what's going on because it's not something in their realm of experience.
That's what people keep forgetting. It's 25 episodes, and also they are not playing the OP and ED every time.
YOU might.
And how exactly are others relevant here? OP not only asked if people here would do better and I'm talking about myself.
Seriously, how are you this dense? What makes you think others are even remotely relevant here?
from housewife to dragon slayer
I'd watch this.
then speak in the first-person, faggot
I only ever talked about myself, why the fuck would I talk about someone else, especially when I have repeatedly said that others might react or feel differently.
As I said, you're one dense fuck.
I'm a bit confused, it looks like that Beatrice knows he's been looping.
Does anybody know where to find the LN Illustrations? I can find some, but not many.
first mention of the Yandere witch
Is Subaru creating different timelines as he dies, or he really just go back in time
Why is Rem trying to kill Audi?
Daily reminder that
Satella is a good witch and the jelous witch personality is just butthurt Subaru hijacking her body so that no one else will get her.
Implying that's the only route to satella
He's not the one controlling it so who the hell knows.
What was something that didn't happen this episode that happened in the others?
Why did Emilia even called herself Satella the first time? Just to establish the existence of someone like that for later?
that's how she shows love
Implying choosing double personality as a character trait for the final boss is good
hijacking the body You fooking what m8te?
It's no more projecting than saying:
You might not seek out to die (in most cases) but you wouldn't actively avoid it as you did before unless you had a good reason to.
Which is straight bullshit. Most of us lick the fucking dirt just to avoid common pain and injury. You don't acclimate to the pain of horrible injury or death. And a few years into a loop, most people wouldn't just shrug and say "fuck it, oh well." You'd have to be a sociopath or a soulless autistmoton to just not give a shit and restart without caring.
Others are relevant because you get a sense of what's normal or to be expected. You can sit there and call others dense and stupid all you want, while spouting on about how your mental fortitude, ability to memorize decades, and unemotional stone heart would win the day, and that's either A) absolute bullshit or B) you're just straight fucked in the head compared to the norm.
she was making a joke that he would have understood as mildly insulting if he was a local
kind of like telling someone who asked for your phone number (in the usa at least) that it's "867-5309" or that your name is "john smith"
basically it would have informed him that she didn't trust him and that he should go away
They already do on Joker Game days
Subaru can steal the powers of the witch 's apostles. Greed can steal hijack people's bodies.
Emilia's laugh was really forced
Makes sense. Thanks.
Worst part of the episode. God it was so bad.
But Satella is the name of the evil goddamn witch who she has imprisoned within her. Why the fuck would she pick that name?
>witch's apsotles Man the LN is so far ahead of the Anime/manga its not even funny
Subaru asked to be a house guest instead of a butler.
He can learn!
So Rem killed him the other 2 times as well?
No, the first time he died to
because it'd be like telling someone in (our world) your name is "hitler"?
it's so blatantly false that they would immediately know you're fucking with them and they'd go away
scarlet letter, etc
Dying probably gives him a jump to an universe where he doesn't die and he keeps his memories. Any explanation could work or even if they don't explain it it doesn't really matters.
We never see him die the first time.
Rem went into his room after he fell asleep and saw that he was perspiring and puking all over the bed and making a mess, so she did her duty as a maid and splatted him all over the bed.
Because she thinks he killed her sister
I doubt anyone here would figure out their situation faster. Not only did he have a strong grasp on the subject after the reset to the merchant, his grasp on things like Beato's door is unheard of. The ogre even stated that once she wants you out, you would have to open every door in the mansion to find her again. He finds it on the first attempt each time.
That shit right there is grounds to be murdered.
Which meido is the best meido?
Blue of course, Red is used goods.
Does loli witch know whats happening to Subaru? Surely she can see the curse somehow.
maybe satela is emilia from that timeline that somehow survived and went back in time.
He finds it on the first attempt each time.
Because he is the MC and he is speshul. Figuring out the situation is not the hard part is living in that world, in which he fails miserably.
Both suck. Rem's a violent psycho and Ram's a slut for the clown dong.
Subaru like working as butler to begin with because working in his enviroemnt was forfilling for him. This was even an issue to begin with.
He's only staying as house guest this time around so he concentrate finding the killer's weapon now he knows what killed him to begin with.
Yeah but she's contracted by Rosewaal so she's not allowed to say anthing.
On the next loop Subaru makes a contract first so she protects him. She can sense the Shaman's curse, Satella's curse on the other hand is completely leagues and leagues above anything she can likely comprehend.
Red actually fucked the clown in canon?
no option to kill both
Shit poll desu
If Satella's curse can kill Subaru for trying to tell anyone about the curse could she just kill him outright for not doing what she wants him to do?
So it was Witch that summoned Subaru and put him into death loop?
She loves him.
ai yo, it's love. The first time he meets her, her words to him were "AishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteruAishteru"
wow discussion about a spy anime that takes place between 1937-1945 involves politics and history!
who could have predicted such outcome!
For once I'd like a fucking loop that isn't started by love.
Love makes the world go round.
Anyone know which LN volume should I read now up to the latest episode?

By Suchi Rudra
It's no surprise that fusion weddings—weddings that combine two or more religions and/or ethnic backgrounds—are increasingly popular in a city that is well known for its diverse population. A Penn State study published in 2012 found that the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area ranked as the 4th most diverse metro area in the entire country.
And as the city with the 3rd largest south Asian population in the country, Hindu-Christian fusion weddings are especially common, says Vicky Choy, founder of Event Accomplished. In the ten years that Vicky has been operating her Arlington-based special events planning and management company, she's overseen dozens of various ethnic and religious combinations in fusion weddings.
Neeva Dhariwal, owner of Project Bride DC, a wedding planning and event coordination company that's been around for two years, says she and her team specialize in multicultural weddings and have coordinated many Hindu-Muslim, Muslim-Christian and Hindu-Jewish fusion weddings.
"But the traditions within Hinduism are so vast that we could even say that a north-south Indian Hindu wedding could be considered fusion as well," Neeva adds.
Wedding planning, fusion or not, can test a couple and their families, as Vinodhini (Vinnu) P. Kudva of Events by Design points out. And with fusion weddings, the complexity and sensitivity of different cultures can add to the stress of planning a major family event.
So for those considering a fusion wedding of any kind, here are some words of wisdom from three of Washington DC's fusion wedding experts:
–Figure out what's important to you as a couple.
The decision to have a fusion wedding is wholly dependent on the couple, their relationship and the foundation they wish to build upon. Neeva says couples should decide which traditions are important for them to carry forward and merge for their new family. If the religious and/or ethnic backgrounds are important to and define who you are, then bringing those elements into a wedding make sense. Vicky says relatives are usually thrilled that the engaged couple wants to incorporate and combine religious and/or cultural aspects into the wedding, rather than being opposed to it. "I think as children of immigrants, you see that sometimes religious and cultural traditions have gone away or have become less integrated into people's lives. What's fascinating is that weddings are the one event where people still cherish those traditions and want to embrace them."
–Communicate your needs early on to your family and your planner.
Once you've decided on the elements you want to incorporate in your wedding, discuss this with all parties involved, including your families and your officiants for the ceremony portion–and then with your wedding planner, caterer and DJ or band. "Especially with cultural traditions, your families may have particular expectations on how those should be conducted. You don't want them to be surprised on wedding day," she notes. Neeva adds that communicating early enough also gives you time to gain everyone's support on your decisions. The biggest challenge for her is deciding which traditions to include and how this will impact the families. "Traditionally, fusion weddings have to compromise the cultures of two different backgrounds, so finding the middle ground can sometimes prove difficult. The best way to resolve pending issues is to get both families on board with the approach and traditions so that the wedding itself is smooth."
–Prioritize to keep your budget in check.
If incorporating your culture and/or religion is high on your priority list, Vicky suggests appropriating a higher than average amount of time and budget to ensure that you can include those cultural or religious elements in your wedding. "If it's not high on your priority list, then pick something easy and simple and move on," she says. Major cost drivers at any wedding are the number of ceremonies that will be held and the number of receptions and venues that need to be booked—and fusion weddings tend to double up on one or the other, Neeva points out.
–Determine a general outline of your day.
Vinnu encourages clients to figure out the times for all ceremonies and receptions, how many people are invited and other big, important numbers. "Determining these details before choosing a venue will alleviate the stress of having a venue that doesn't work for what is needed."
–Work out the timing needed to smoothly tie in the different religious ceremonies.
This is where a couple can really look to their planner for help. Vicky finds this to be one of the biggest challenges of a fusion wedding, but finds that it's usually a matter of finding the right timing. "For example, with a Korean Pae Baek ceremony, there is quite a bit of set up needed and the couple will also need to change into their Korean wedding attire. So if you are following a typical American reception timeline, you will need to find the right spot to accomplish all that without interrupting the flow of the reception."
–Maintain perspective throughout the planning process.
In the long, stressful weeks of planning, it's easy to lose yourselves, so it's all about putting things into perspective. Vinnu says she advises her clients to first breathe and keep in perspective what the day is really about. "A wedding and reception is full of logistical details, but the most important detail is that the wedding day is really about their union. Don't lose sight of that." Vicky agrees: "This is not about finding that perfect favor to give to your guests. I suggest having date nights or even weekend getaways where you are forbidden to talk about the wedding and decompress a bit."
No matter what sort of fusion wedding you envision, the real trick, Neeva says, is to have a vision of your wedding and ensure that those who matter most are supportive of your vision.
Vicky agrees that a wedding should definitely reflect the couple and what they are about.
"Planning begins with a little soul-searching, answering the questions of what the couple is about, what's important to the couple, what represents them. Figure out the big picture things first."

Western Conference Semifinal Preview: Canucks vs. Predators
Click here to see full-sized graphic
The President Trophy winning Vancouver Canucks look to avoid the hangover from defeating their long-time rivals, the Chicago Blackhawks, in an emotional seven-game series that had everything from injuries, to suspensions, to returns, to blow outs and even a few jobs on the line. Unfortunately, standing in the way are the Nashville Predators, a rugged, hard working team with a Vezina candidate and a Norris candidate ensuring that it won't be easy for Canada's only remaining team. Can the Canucks prevail, or will the Predators surprise everyone once again?
Blogger Showdown: Jonathan Szekeres, James Edgington vs. Greg Duley
Related Posts:
- Nashville Predators Finally Win a Series by Greg Duley.
- Canucks Take a Wild Game Seven by Jonathan Szekeres.
Prax's Take :
The Vancouver Canucks had a, shall we say, interesting first round series against one of their biggest rivals, the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks took them to seven games and almost completed the legendary 0-3 comeback. But in the end, Roberto Luongo seemingly overcame his demons and finally took the Canucks past the Hawks and into the second round, in the process, saving the jobs of about a dozen people. But do the Canucks have enough in them to forget about their emotional victory – or near-disaster, if you will – and take on an underrated and under-appreciated Nashville Predators team?
The focus around this series seems to be squarely around the Canucks. About what they did, what they can do, what they might do and what they won't do. The Preds, waiting patiently, could very well own this hype and surprise a weary group of Canucks. They have great goaltending, a Norris candidate on the blueline, a guy that should be a Jack Adams candidate behind the bench, and a hard-working group of forwards that have overcome their lack of top-end skill and have bought into the system. They're not nearly as deep or talented as the Canucks are, but they'll fight to the bitter end to beat you, and they could very well stand a chance of winning this series.
They COULD win the series. Unfortunately, I don't think they will. Call me crazy, but I don't think they're even going to win a game. All this focus on the Canucks has taken focus away from the fact that the Preds can't score goals, and that their defence and tending wasn't as good against the Anaheim Ducks as it was during the season. The Canucks will be a possessed team in this round, and will win four straight for their fans and their management group.
Bold Prediction: Canucks sweep in 4.
HockeyBroad: Vancouver's hungry, but Nashville's hungrier. Nashville has had extra time to rest, and a highly emotional, seven-game series will have tapped Vancouver's strongest desire this year; to beat Chicago. Pekka Rinne is right there for the Vezina for good reason, and Shea Weber and company are going to go to town on the Canucks. Vancouver thinks they got physical with Chicago? Yeah... real tough to beat up a team that's already hurting.
Prediction: Predators in 6.
Owen Durkin: The Canucks have dominated against the league's best all season, Chicago being the only real Achilles heal. With that distraction now behind them, as detailed in my round one predictions, Vancouver will power their way to the finals, but Schneider had best stay limber, and ready at play as the finals are still a long ways away. Bobby Lou's confidence has been bolstered, but he'll need rest at some time sooner than later.
Prediction : Canucks in 6.
Micheal Aldred: If anything came out of Alex Burrows' performance in Game 7 against the Blackhawks, it was clutch and grit. His penalty in overtime followed by his series-winning goal pushed the Canucks forward in a more positive light, and you can certainly guarantee the momentum will create a surge within the organization. I expect the Canucks to run over the Predators in 5 games as they ride that high.
Prediction: Canucks in 5.
Newman: The win over Chicago is a GIGANTIC monkey off this team's back. Nashville is a good team and will definitely put up a fight, and probably take a couple games, but I think Vancouver prevails.
Prediction: Canucks in 6.
Adam Pardes: Has Roberto Luongo been perfect? Far from it. But the Canucks hard nose style, along with the emergence of the Sedins will ultimately be the difference in this series. Vancouver simply has too many weapons on offense and their defense really clicked in Game 7 against the Blackhawks. Congrats to the Preds for reaching the second round but your season ends here.
Prediction: Canucks in 6.
Jonathan Szekeres: The Canucks are coming off an absolutely gigantic win versus the Blackhawks. When I say huge, I mean emotionally, I mean physically, and I mean mentally. They will only get one day to relax before going at it with a very well coached Predators squad. Great goaltending is sure to be afoot, as two Vezina nominees will square off, with a rejuvenated Roberto Luongo, fresh off exercising his demons, and a up and comer with something to prove in Pekka Rinne. The defenses are also outstanding, with Shea Weber and Ryan Suter trolling the blueline for the Preds, while the Canucks have the deepest top six in the league, even with Sami Salo out of the lineup. The Canucks chances in this series depends solely on their core, namely, Ryan Kesler who has yet to get a goal, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Roberto Luongo. The Preds chances in the series depends on their entire lineup stepping up to play the top team in the league. They don't score a lot of goals, so everyone from top to bottom has to contribute. It won't be as exciting as the Blackhawks series, but look for a relaxed Canuck team to take it in six.
Prediction: Canucks in 6.
Alicia Sprenkle: The Vancouver Canucks exercised their demons Tuesday night against Chicago. That was the ultimate hurdle for the Canucks, and now that they are over it, I don't see anything stopping them from going further and further. It should be a very tough series for the Preds.
Prediction: Canucks in 5.
Adam Reid: The Predators fairytale first round victory is over. They did not deserve to win the series against Anaheim despite how hard they battled. On paper, the Ducks had them terribly covered. Vancouver went through instrumental pressure in the first round, knowing the chips were against them despite finishing first overall. They had quite the hill to climb, and after losing three straight to Chicago, they felt down and out. But, the overtime winner by Burrows brought life back into the Canucks , and they will easily handle the Predators.
Prediction: Canucks in 6.
Jordan Kuhns: This one is gonna be a good one. I foresee another long series for the Canucks to deal with here. On one side, you have Pekka Rinne, who is playing pretty well. On the other hand, you have Roberto Luongo, who just barely, and I mean, just barely got out of the first round against the Chicago Blackhawks with extremely average play. The Canucks have banished their demons, but it took a lot out of their tank to take care of the Hawks. I have a feeling that the Preds are on to something good. They played very well on both sides of the puck, and they showed they can play a textbook road game, as evidenced in game one of the quarterfinals. The Canucks are capable of everything. Solid top 9 forwards, solid 6 D. But can they play good enough with the chronic playoff struggler in net? I have no doubt in my mind the pressure is completely on Roberto Luongo. And I get the feeling he won't even come close to living up to it.
Prediction: Predators in 6.
Shahab Khan: I still don't believe in the Canucks, don't believe in the Luongo and don't believe in the Sedins. Nashville is boring but will win due to its' style. This will be the most boring series of the lot.
Prediction: Predators in 6.
Steve Palumbo: The Predators are riding the momentum they created from disposing of the Anaheim Ducks and earning the first playoff series win in franchise history. The Canucks come into this series on the heels of a near epic collapse culminating with a thrilling game 7 win over last years Stanley Cup Champs. My heart tells me to stick with the hot power play in Nashville, but my head tells me they won't beat the 'Nucks giving up over 3 goals a game as they did against the Ducks.
Prediction: Canucks in 6.
Jason Pietroniro: This is going to be a tough series. Although Vancouver dominates the Preds as far as scoring is concerned, you cannot could Nashville out. Their system is proven and they are hard to beat defensively. Anaheim had one of the best scoring lines in the league and they were not able to win in 7 games. Watch for this series to be tighter that it seems at first glance.
Prediction : Predators in 6.
Kyle Busch: Seeing that Vancouver struggled against Chicago, why not Nashville? The Predators are an underdog already, knocking out Anaheim, so I expect them to give Vancouver a rough series. Vancouver probably learned their lesson from screwing around with the Blackhawks, but then again, they've been a top team for a few years now and can't get past the second round.
Prediction: Canucks in 6
Larry D'Angelo: Vancouver and Nashville are coming off big series wins as the Preds made it out of the first round for the first time in their brief history. While the Canucks barely held on to win the series against Chicago after winning the first three, going up 3-0. It would take OT in game 7 for the Canucks to shake that Blackhawk monkey from their backs. Vancouver has a tad bit more talent which gives they a slight edge in would should be a tight series.
Prediction: Canucks in 7.
Tune back in in the coming hours and days for the rest of our series previews!

Sweep in four? NO CHANCE,PRAX! I wanted to call a Detroit sweep but the Sharks are tricky this year.

People didn't give the Preds any credit two weeks ago, now they're giving them too much credit. Anaheim had no defense and no goaltending, and they destroyed their defense and goaltending. The Canucks offense is arguably stronger, their defense is the deepest in the league and their goaltending is just as good as Nashville's if not better if Lungo's finally over his issues. The Preds took care of the Ducks with hard work, but they couldn't handle Perry, Selanne, etc. The same will happen with Vancouver, only difference, they won't score any goals.

I think the Preds can really push the Canucks this series, if Peks is back to being Peks he is better than Lou. That is what i think will be the difference maker in this series as both goalies have potential to steal quite a few games.
But a sweep? i don't think that will happen as a lot of the reasons why the Preds could score during the year was due to injuries, but they are getting healthy.
- Login to post comments
Our consensus for the Wings and Coyotes was 7 games but it was a sweep. Why isn't it fathomable that it could happen in this series? I'm not trying to say the Preds aren't good, but the Canucks outclass them in every department. I think it's as simple as that. Preds took advantage of a weak D and tending on Anaheim, Anaheim's stronger offense abused them. The only weakness the Canucks have is mental.
Call it a gut feeling. No disrespect to your team
