Wow. That's totally new and different.

Impressions:

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Subaru stares in horror, spends entire episodes bumming around, whining at and/or listening to women while helplessly bemoaning his fate, then magic the cruel and merciless world kills one or more of them through no fault of his while he looks on in further horror, screaming teary eyed about how helpless he is, having continued to try absolutely nothing to help anybody while still forgetting he can and has in the past reset everything to get another go round. Even Punchline wasn't this myopically idiotic about its own premise.

Since this seems to be the only episode the show has left in the tank, after sitting through it played on repeat for nigh on four months, I'm calling it quits. Enough is enough. At least I can enjoy the music of Macross and the animation/art of Zestiria. Sure, I'll miss Subaru's eventual 'moment of triumph', but if it's anything like the last two, it'll be him tackling some girl out of the way while someone else appears out of nowhere and cleans up the mess in seconds. Good riddance, you angsty, melodramatic, non-protagonist sack of crap. You learn nothing. You try nothing. All you exist for is to bemoan yourself. And you're enabled by a personality-less harem hanger-ons who could have been collectively replaced by a tub of ice cream and a recording of Ben Stein reading the Monster Manual, except he actually knows how to party.
