Yeah, that was something. This kinda harkens something that happened in Tales of Xillia, where
Really though, I had a sudden urge to smack the s*** out of him after he blatantly says he's in love with Emilia, after Rem said she loves him and practically saved his entire character >=01. Still, that didn't bother me nearly as much as it would have because the dialogue for the episode as a whole was simply phenomenal! Subaru was basically regurgitating everything we(the viewers) thought about him, and it was nice that he realized his shortcomings all along. Rem is truly precious; she's more the main character in this arc than Emilia has ever been. I hope we continue to see what/if those two can still grow together before the end of the animated series =03.
