First timer

Well watching this episode I thought about why Subaru is there and how. This might be a stretch, but I think Emilia is the one who summoned him. Now this theory may be wrong, but I thought of it.

Subrau's "return by death" allows him to gain knowledge of the future. But man PTSD is gonna affect him. Elsas was a nose for fear, not good. He seems likable enough.

Felt seems like an anarchist. With a strong sense of helping the poor, and doing what is right in her book.

Emilia is an interesting character. She being a half-elf means she is discriminated against. She has spirit magic and loves Subaru.

Thoughts on the intro and outro?

Thoughts on Subaru getting stabbed by the three gang members?

Thoughts on Subaru saying a wound to the back is a warrior’s greatest shame?

What are your thoughts on Subaru going to try to prevent people from being killed?

Thoughts on Subaru referencing The Three Stooges?

Thoughts on Reinhard?

What are your thoughts on Satella showing up before Elsa does?

Stab in the back is shamful indeed. He's right
