Un episodio terrorífico donde Subaru vuelve a caer en la desesperación, con una otra vez sobresaliente actuación de su seiju. Además de desarrollo y trasfondo emotivo para Meili. Fue algo confuso con tanta explicación, pero en general el episodio fue de los mejores de este anime.

This episode broke me in ways I didn't expect 😭 The psychological horror is terrifying. Subaru seeing things, questioning himself, unraveling completely. The voices are getting to him and it hurts to watch. The way the episode portrays his deteriorating mental state is a masterpiece.

This is very interesting episode, I like the chaos underneath it. The mysteries and questions are overwhelming. The effects and sound are top, animation is great. The psychological trauma is really agonizing, this is such an amazing episode.

Honestly, I think I'm lost with the events happening but it was still good. The fact that it keeps the viewers think within the details proves that the storyline is good!

This one is really scary, feels like a horror movie. The studio really executed this episode very well and awesome. This episode really made me many question about it. Also kinda curious about what happen on the next episode. It's getting interesting in every episode

It felt like watching a horror movie, except the culprit and victim role POV were reversed... Meili’s backstory also really takes me back to Season 1 and I loved that.

This episode genuinely made me feel stressed, tense, and suspicious with every character in the cast.

This episode made me question almost everything. Every character interaction felt suspicious, even when nothing obvious was happening. Lowkey one of the creepiest episodes in a while.

BROOOO he atmosphere was incredible. Every conversation felt wrong in a way that's hard to explain, like something was broken long before anyone noticed it.

This episode was straight-up psychological horror. The mystery barely moves forward, but Subaru's mental state falls down an entire staircase. Wtf

Di episode ini, kita bisa melihat lebih dalam latar belakang Meili dan mendapatkan konteks mengenai hubungannya dengan Elsa. Namun, alih-alih menjawab berbagai pertanyaan yang sudah ada, malah justru menambahkan misteri. Meski begitu, justru itulah yang membuat episode ini menarik. Episod ini mungkin bisa dibilang lamban, soalnya tidak banyak berubah dari awal episod ke akhir kecuali yang terjadi pada Subaru.

That ghost of Meili sitting on his chest in the green room was creepy and it really shows how much his mind is rotting from all that guilt

Meili's childhood with Elsa made me feel so bad for her, and seeing her get treated like a tool since she was a baby explains so much about how she ended up.

Staring at Subaru as he frantically stuffs a corpse under a desk while whispering about buying time was a massive shift and the cold determination in his face was terrifying

The way Subaru looked at Ram at the end was not him at all. His eyes had that weird red light and he sounded so cold. It feels like the book literally broke his soul

I can still hear Meili whispering in his ear and it is making my skin crawl. That ghost on his chest was so disturbing after seeing how she died. I need to go lie down

The red writing on his arm saying he was here is going to haunt my dreams and seeing him panic like that while trying to hide the body was just brutal to watch

If gluttony is actually taking over Subaru's body then we are all in massive trouble, because he looked completely gone when he stared down Ram at the end and quoted that murder line

That title drop at the very end with the red substance covering everyone on screen was such a haunting way to finish the episode and I am terrified for Ram after that last look he gave her

I was not prepared for how hard that backstory would hit me, especially seeing how Elsa was basically the only mother figure Meili ever had in her life. It makes her death feel so much more tragic now that we know she was just mimicking what she was taught. Seeing Subaru's eyes glow red during that talk with Ram has me so stressed out

Seeing Meili die from her own perspective while Subaru was strangling her made it so much worse and I cannot believe he actually did that to her even if he wasn't himself at the time

EPISODE CONTEXT

Arriving at the halfway point of the 19-episode season, this episode follows 'Empty Shell,' which left characters fractured and uncertain in the wake of recent conflict. 'Murder Is a Habit' pivots inward — using Meili's backstory and Subaru's psychological state to recontextualize what the season has built so far. It functions as a pressure-release valve before the narrative's next escalation, seeding emotional and thematic threads that the back half of the season will almost certainly pull tight.
