← view full thread · [Spoilers] Summer Time Rendering - Episode 5 Discussion
I knew this show was gruesome by this point. But this episode was the darkest so far. We learnt that there is a limit to his respawn ability (basically a nerfed Subaru) so now the stakes are infinitely higher. 
I love the juxtaposition of beautiful animation with the gore and violence. 
I wish this show had been picked up by Crunchyroll, it's a shame not many people are watching it. Roll on next week, I can't wait to see how Shinpei alters the future. 
Its probably better it wasn't picked up by crunchyroll, the probably would've censored it to hell to suite their wants.
isnt subarus power also shit with the fact that he never knows when his spawn point could randomly move ahead by a lot
That's still better than finite replayability. You can simply be cautious with your respawn points.
They are both shit, really.
On the one hand, Shinpei's checkpoints move forward but on the other hand, it does not give him enough trauma, allowing him to think objectively.
In Subaru's case, his checkpoints remain constant for a loop but the trauma takes away his ability to think objectively hampering his decision-making, a big XXXing weakness for one who loops.That said, in Subaru's case, it is possible to make RBD OP by walking the path of a sage.
I mean I'd imagine Shinpeis gonna have a good amount of trauma seeing his sister and friends die so many times and dealing with himself dying that many times.
I think most of the reason he appears calm is because a sane person in that situation with those shadows realizes if he hesitates and if things don't work out, he's fucked no matter the circumstances because these shadows have super human powers.

Yeah but its nowhere close to obstructing his ability to think logically, like in Subaru's case.
"how Shinpei alters their future" judging by what we see in Episode 5 toward the end , it feels more like it works on multiverse theory which means the changes only take effect for him and the realities he left still exist.
Cuz we see that exactly happen while he's in between that reality and the next , the reality doesn't disappear , he disappears and everything gets eaten by the shadow behind him.
