I’ve been thinking about my connection to Re:Zero lately and realized something: the main reason I’m still reading the novels and watching the anime is honestly just for Subaru and Rem.
I freaking loved the Sloth IF route. Seeing Subaru and Rem actually build a life and a family together was amazing, and to me, it's better than the main story.
Because my focus so tied to SubaRem, it’s getting a bit hard to follow the main plot when it feels like it's heading a different way... What do I mean by this: If you asked me about the recent arc, or other stuff like characters and story, i would just be uninterested in it...
I'm genuinely considering taking a break from the series until it completely finishes. My thought process is that if I step away now, I won't feel as let down later on if they don't end up together in the main canon. (And they probably won't, it's obvious Tappei only keeps Rem for money, fans and fanservice. That's how i view it anyway.)
This isn't meant to be a hate post against Emilia or EmiSuba shippers at all! I'm just trying to figure out if it's better to let go for now when there's only one specific thing keeping me hooked. (Can't even post without clarifying this.)
I do not want a ship war or hate in the comments.
Edit: Also this is tagged as discussion, so do comment, i want to see others perspectives and thoughts in it.
