    Another thing that really fucks you up and detaches you from reality is just how much has gone wrong in such a short span from literally doing nothing. As if Subaru got transported to a different world where everything goes wrong. And that moment when his head falls off after seeing the giant wolf creature... really emphasizes it

      Absolutely, especially thinking about the events of arc 3 and 4 (second half of season 1 and season 2). You don't realize it, but those event happen in the span of around two weeks from my knowledge. Not only that, but having to lose your main support and companion in the middle of all of that, I don't even think I would survive that tragedy.

Kirito from SAO, Inosuke from Demon Slayer, Belle from Danmachi, an evil priest from HS DxD, doesn’t matter the character role he’ll perfectly portray it. Also, usually u can tell when it’s him bc he has a very distinct scream/arghhhhh sound to his voice.

    Re zero has a special place in my heart. Subaru is insanely relatable to me. It was like staring into a mirror, and I hated it at first. But seeing Subaru struggle through himself and the obstacles around him made me remember how important it is to not give up.
    I struggle every day with mental health issues. And even though I've never suffered as much as Subaru has. He inspired me to keep going.
    The series has made me cry many times. Rem's confession, the entire episode of parent and child.
    Him never being able to say anything about return by death is also relatable to me, because I find myself deep in depression but I can't even explain why. It feels so lonely and makes everyday life hell sometimes.
    If it wasn't for Re zero giving me some light I honestly don't know if I'd still be alive. I'm still a bit of a shut in with no direction, but I'm getting better and Subaru has become my favorite anime character along with Rider from Fate/Zero.

    Oh… my… god… this episode, along with the episode in which Subaru says the what I call bc it’s easy to remember “let’s run away” speech to Rem MADE ME CRY LIKE HELL. Hell crap am I glad I was home alone because holy shit. This show is not only funny at some sections, but amazingly crafted, beautifully made, great action sequences, HEART BREAKING moments, horrifying and gruesome sections. I am obsessed with how actually amazing this show is and it is genuinely insane how much I am. It is all in all one of, nah, the BEST show I’ve ever watched. Absolutely amazing in every way. That’s my opinion at least.
    Edit: it also sucks i can’t share this with anyone or talk about it with anyone because no one I know has watched it or wants to watch it lol. I wish I could talk with a friend or smth though 💀

    Yeah, I watched the episode. Paused before the end scene (post credits), and cried the entire night while staring at nothing. I had to search the ost, rewatch the episode, and then keep re-listening the soundtrack until I felt right not doing it. I kept crying, knowing not to watch more until I had processed it, allowing it to leave the biggest mark ever in my heart. 5 Years later, I still got more emotional from listening to it, than anything else. I was back there within seconds of hearing the tune. 5 rewatches of the series and 7 years, and ep 15 still clutches my heart. I know what's going to happen, but it doesn't matter. The buildup is too good. My eyes transfix to the screen, I wake up 25 mins later, and my brain trembles the next day.

I'm also a ln reader and until now i caught up with arc 6 which hit so damn hard that it became the best thing i've ever read. I just know that if one day they decide to animate it and if the production team puts their hearts into it, it's going to be the greatest anime ever.

    I watched this show when it was coming out and I was still a relatively new anime fan. Rem quickly became one of my favorite characters by episode nine and I honestly loved Subaru as a character. I think people have a hard time understanding who he actually is. Anyways, I agree with Echidnut, this is probably the best stand alone episode out there. (If not, just the best episode in anime ever!) I was glued to the screen and could not process the credits, and when I did, I practically got on my hands and knees and begged for it not to end there. I also thought this was the end of Season one and LOVED it! Of course, it was two week until the next one came out and those were the two weeks when I thought on the show and knew Re:Zero would be my favorite anime of all time!

It is the pinnacle of the series and honestly my favorite episode in any series. I’m literally crying right now just from listening to Requiem of Silence and after remembering everything once again even though i have watched and read every version of this series countless times. Truly a Masterpiece of a series and even more the Most Emotional episode of any story i have ever read.

And you're absolutely right about ep 15.

    This episode is what made me really fall in love with re zero. It showed me how amazing the series could portray suffering and hope.
    My favorite episode of anime though has yet to be animated.
    I’m waiting for the final chapters of mushoku tensei to be animated. Nothing has ever made me as emotional as the bittersweet ending of mt.
    However that isn’t really fair, so I think in the meantime my favorite episode of anime has to be in steins;gate where okabe accepts kurisu’s death. This is quickly followed by the last episode of toradora and then this one.

    5:54 honestly my soul almost went out when I watched this scene. I thought he's back at very first checkpoint and all of his progress lost because I saw the apple guy (that apple guy almost gives me a heart attack!). But I'm cried at joy when I see Rem, It gives me a sense of relief, hoping that this time, Subaru can overcome this loop...
    But he gives up...
    The last loop make him lose his sanity, breaking his confidence. This is the moment when I start to sympathized Subaru, he's not only an anime character but a human for me. He has many flaws, but he always tries to find a way to overcome the problem in front on him. He's always scared but never surrender to it.
    But episode 15 changed it, such a tragic. It's hard to see him at his breaking point; he finally gives up after experienced such an extreme despair, losing every person that is important to him time and time again, and the worst part is he will never escaped it even when he dies.
    That's why this anime is one of a best for me because it gives you a rollercoaster of emotions that any anime can't achieved even if you watched a hundred episodes in them.

It's something you can present at a filmfest. They could've started this episode saying "_White Fox Presents_" and it would've been justified. Fantastic video man; I'm sure the studio would be pleased to know somebody fully appreciate their work of art.

    The fact that I still remember exactly how I felt, when did I watch and where did I watch the episode, the fact that I caught up with Re:Zero when it was in ep 14, meaning this was the first episode I had to wait a whole week to watch the next one, the fact that I was on vacation at the moment and I was so invested in the anime that I rewatched the episodes multiple times, the fact that th episodes aired on Sunday, so I kinda felt like I was agonizing the whole week for the next episode... Those are some good memories and I agree, this is the greatest episode I've ever seen... but now I feel melancholic, I don't think I'll ever feel the same again, not even with the upcoming arcs or other animes. Some have come close, but this video reminded me of how awesome this episode was... And that I won't feel it again. Thanks I guess?
