I know she's only been in three episodes, and that we haven't gotten to see her enough to really understand her character, but still, the amount of people turning her into this big "waifu" is alarming. It reminds me of what heppened to Rem. Mind you, Rem seems much more like waifu material than Echidna (at least in the anime), but people started treating her as the best waifu around, and slowly started turning Re:Zero into a show about waifu's and such, rather than a show about Subaru's journy of self reflection as he realizes that the reason his life is going in such a bad direction is not because he is in a world which does not appreciate him for who he is, but simply because of the fact thet there are no aspects of him which are worth appreciating. And once the show started moving away from Rem to show that Subaru was finally changing himslef to be a better person, all of the people who had originally thought that Re:Zero was about waifu's started hating on the show. You can still hear "I love Emilia" memes all over the internet. I am not trying to clump everyone together in this, a lot of people simply appreciated the show for what it was, and a lot of the people who viewed the show simply as a show about waifu's continued appreciating it, but from what I can see looking at the reviews of the show, a lot of hate was flooded onto it simply because it did not fulfil the roll of Rem being the best waifu. I really don't want to see this happening to season 2. If people start interpreting this season as Echidna's time to shine as the greatest waifu, I can see them getting really angry at the show as the story progresses, and droppping it, which I really don't want. Arc 4 in particular is a phenominal arc, and I don't want people missing out on it's greatness due to preconcieved perceptions. But hey, that's just what I think, you treat the show however you want, I can't do anything about it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I'm sorry that the last post felt like an attack. In the end, all I want is for people to have as much enjoymnent from Re:Zero as I do, but thats not something I can force on anyone.
