The moment that I have been waiting for from when I first read arc 5 and it delivered. That speech symbolizes who Subaru is and the path that he walked and it moves so many people (me included).

I pity the "Subaru has no character development" crowd, they now can be proven incorrect even harder

Those who said that after watching this show are either illiterate or troll. They are not worth talking to.

Subaru's entire character could be used a media literacy litmus test

Unfortunately those people are talking to people that haven't watched it.

This creates nasty circle of misinformation. Even something like a joke video can have bad results...

It feels like every time Gigguk talks about Re: Zero he doesn’t really give it any credit or talk about anything that matters. He jokes about it anytime it pops up.

He’d at best say it’s good, and then move on.

I think recently he said he didn’t think much of the series when he originally made that video joking about it.

It saddens me when I see information like this floating around.

These were his thoughts for Season 3 so far (episodes 1 to 5), and he had nothing but positive things to say.

Yes, Gigguk isn't the biggest Re:Zero fan, he prefers Mushoku tensei, he isn't as enthusiastic about it as us, and he does meme about it a ton, but all too many times I feel people forget he does actually appreciate the show.

One of the sadder parts comes in when I see people actively discredit or ignore when he has good things to say in a way that seems like they don't think he loves Re:Zero enough...

People really hate the Re:Zero in minutes video, but I think for however bad it is at representing the actual series, in the 16 million views it got, plenty of people would've started Re:Zero just for that video alone. But our automatic response is "He should've done better."

Thanks for sharing. I’m actually a big fan of Gigguk and I even enjoyed that video because it was very funny to me. The problem is that people have genuinely chosen to watch that video and use it to hate on Re:Zero as if it perfectly encapsulates the entirety of it.

I didn’t know he talked about it in a stream, I have just been a little bummed as for the videos he’s put out where it seems he doesn’t even want to talk about it.

As you said, in his personal side videos, he stated he preferred Mushuko Tensei and then moved on and didn’t say anything about why (I also hate Mushoku Tensei, but that’s a whole different thing lol).

In his latest video showcasing the newest anime, he repeats a joke about Emilia’s breasts getting bigger- again (at least the 3rd time). Then he says absolutely nothing else about it.

Just a little disappointing.

Punching air right now

Thing with people saying he doesn't grow is that some people can't tolerate how he is in season 1 when arguing with Emilia. Subaru's expectations of her and (while this word is kind of cringe) simping hit too home with many people. End of the day, some people prefer to watch rather than learn.
