What are you talking about? He lucked out.

Taken out of this shit world and placed into a world where he can do as much shit as he wants and can have a do over until he gets it right. He even gets to have cute magical girls befriend him when in the real world you aren't allowed to so much as make eye contact with a girl unless you're a Chad. Sure the dying hurts but I'm sure after a while you get used to it, physical pain can be desensitized.

He can't pick the starting point of the do over though.

The real answer I figured out reading the spoilers and such is that the story is literally about a guy who cares.
He's a anti-shounen MC. He basically gets weaker and weaker even if he powers up his enemies are much stronger and he never stops losing and suffering. So the only thing he really has going for him is the ability to redo and accumulate information for next time.
He could always just fuck off and do whatever. He consciously chooses not to because he can't stand not caring about the people he meets.
Its the ultimate suffering because he chose it himself. Its like watching your kids die again and again

>>141883509
Because that's the only thing the show has going for it. That's why they had to come up with the checkpoint bullshit, so they can keep killing him.

Because this is torture porn: the anime. And I'm enjoying it.

Really? What's even the point of that? It doesn't even seem like the anime has gotten to the main plot yet, so it doesn't feel right to be hyping this so early.

Pretty big fan of this series. Decent episode. Helped move the plot along and it looks like Subaru has pretty much all the information he needs to advance past the cursed night. Now the question I'm wondering the answer to is if he'll succeed next episode, or if he's going to lose all of his progress with Emilia, Rem and Ram and have to start over AGAIN. I feel like if he loses his progress at this point given how well everything has gone for him this loop, he's going to snap.

Anyhow, I decided to rewatch bits of the anime to remind myself of what has actually happened in it so far, rather than relying on spoiler knowledge.

I noticed that the anime really makes it look like this whole situation started when he told "Satella" that he'd save her, even if it somehow applied retroactively, with how the opening of the first episode shows flashes of that scene right before he's dragged into the fantasy world by that black hand. I wonder if there's any taboo concerning making promises to the Witch, like if that sort of thing allows her to fuck with you in some way?

Going 100 yards out and sleeping against a rock on a cliff overlooking Emilia's bedroom isn't leaving the mansion. Emilia even offered him access to a carriage when he left, but since he wasn't actually leaving he didn't want it.

Subaru knows what's going to happen when he stays. He doesn't know what'll happen if he leaves. But better the devil you know right?

Not him, but it's hard to imagine yourself in the scenario because you would have to make the same dumb decisions to get into. Who chases around a girl in a completely new place that you know nothing about? Would it not make more sense to go a place of authority and find out where the fuck you are? We're like 8 episodes in and I know nearly just as much about the setting as I did at the start of the show.

Quite possibly. Given how the promise with Beatrice worked, that wouldn't be a surprise.

>>141893066
>Subaru knows what's going to happen when he stays. He doesn't know what'll happen if he leaves. But better the devil you know right?
Well, from what we've learned in episode 8 we now know that leaving the mansion will pretty much guarantee Rem's death, and when you have access to seemingly unlimited respawns, it's much more of a burden on your conscience to purposefully let someone die.

But I guess she did hold his hand once and act nicely to him before she viciously murdered him so he needs to save her. Reminds me of someone else.

That's why I said "nearly" just as much. Keep in mind I'm comparing this to other series. The character interactions in this show are decent, but the world-building could be a lot better than it has been.

>>141893158
>Quite possibly. Given how the promise with Beatrice worked, that wouldn't be a surprise.
Well then, I'd say he's screwed. That really makes it sound like the purpose of his curse is to lead him to "save Satella" and that the conditions and checkpoints are set with that in mind rather than it being about his own well-being.

Hell, people have already spoiled this for me, but apparently he accidentally makes another similar promise to Satella's face, or some manifestation of her, while he's dying in one timeline that turned out particularly bad.

Demi-Human War: A war that lasted for ten years roughly 50 to 40 years earlier. Due to the actions of the Witch of Envy, Half Elves and other half races were considered to be heretical, with the prejudice extending to Demi Humans themselves. Amidst all of that, a Demi Human village was involved in a conflict with a Human village, and at a peace conference those sent from the castle were assassinated, leading both sides to claim that it was the other side's fault. The conflict eventually grew until it spread across Lugnica, lasting until the Demi Humans admitted that it wouldn't benefit anyone to keep on fighting, though they still claimed not to be responsible for the assassination. The decision to end the war was considered to have brought about by the Sword Saint's actions. Damage from the war existed deep within people and people still harbor prejudice against half races even if it isn't spoken aloud.

>>141893090
>Who chases around a girl in a completely new place that you know nothing about?
Having such a jarring alteration of reality take place would often lead people to conclude that they're dreaming, hallucinating, or something to that effect (and it's implied that Subaru came to roughly that conclusion himself). I'd probably have just gone with the flow on that first day until the pain of being murdered gave me a brutal wake-up call.
>Would it not make more sense to go a place of authority and find out where the fuck you are?
A sensible idea too.
>We're like 8 episodes in and I know nearly just as much about the setting as I did at the start of the show.
From his conversations with Puck and Beatrice, there has been an awful lot disclosed about the world he's in already. remember to pay attention to those two - they're both practically exposition machines.
>MC spends most of his time flirting and talking about nothing instead of asking questions and sometimes it's like nails on a chalkboard.
A big part of that is that he's trying (and failing, but at least trying) to earn their trust. After all, they're suspicious of him and likely still assume he's a spy or something equally shady, so if he doesn't have their trust, they'll probably just lie to him anyway.

Not strictly speaking, no. I've seen enough light heart-warming happy stuff (and most anime is just that) that I can appreciate having a change of tone and witnessing something tragic and horrifying instead.

It can be really interesting to let yourself be taken on a ride and maybe forced to feel some uncomfortable emotions every now and again. There's always the saccharine moeblob stuff and Gary Stu wish fulfilment fantasy stuff waiting for you to return to once you're done.

He falls in love with a girl named Teresia who is later revealed to be the current "Sword Saint". He manages to defeat her in duel, and proposes.

Didn't we learn in this episode that maybe Puck is having something to do with all those "black out" moments Subaru is having, with the groping shadow hands etc, when he cast that spell on him? Sub looks really serious for a second like he just figured out that it's been Puck doing that the whole time. Or could someone else be casting it since it was a seemingly easy enough spell?

He could honestly go as far as he wants but it would not matter all that much.

1) He will just lose more. You'd go crazier losing your wife of 40 years and all of your kids than just random strangers.
2) The witch places him near Emilia at the start and probably plans for him to fall in love, thus that love limits his actions.
3) He reeks of witch. Most people would just kill him instantly.
3b) This is not unjustified. He should be killed on sight by anyone. His guilt or innocence are irrelevant. He smells like a witch because whether he knows it or not he is serving her, he has no other choice (quite literally, any world where her demands are not met is one he will loop away from).

>>141893850
The breaktimes even say most people would kill him just for being an illegal immigrant, though I'm not sure how accurate they are.

As it stands, I'm guessing that Subaru has accidentally sworn himself to be Satella's savior, and whatever magics concern that promise are leading him to become just that. Killing him actually sounds like it'd probably be for the best in the long run, but unfortunately for everyone else his power makes that impossible.

Satella, Witch of Envy - Satella was not a vassal fit for the Witch Factor, and forcing herself to become a Witch caused her multiple personality disorder. As the evil Witch of Envy she killed and absorbed all the other six witches of Greater Sin and destroyed half the world. The combined effort of Dragon, Sword Saint, and the Sage could not kill her existence, and merely managed to seal her in the Grand Falls.
Ekidna, Witch of Greed - Obsessed with knowledge, she sought to learn more even after death.
Minerva, Witch of Wrath - Minerva has the power to "punch" people and heal them. Her powerful punches however destroys the world at the same time. Anytime she punches people back to health, catastrophe happens elsewhere in the world. Which causes more people to become injured, and she rushes there to punch them. This infinite cycle of destruction and healing caused more harm than good, but that never stopped her from continuing.
Sekhmet, Witch of Sloth - Pretty much embodiment of sloth, she is too lazy to do anything, even breathing is a bother to her. She chased away the Dragon to beyond the Great Fall just so she can have peace in her laziness.
Daphine, Witch of Gluttony - Always hungry, prefers quantity over quality. However she also suffers from eating disorders and often pukes out the food she ate. In order to end hunger in the world she created a monster like the Hakugei, although they ended up being just as much of a threat. Loli.
Typhon, Witch of Pride - Innocent and unforgiving loli. She punishes evil doers without mercy, and was feared for her extreme prejudice to evil.
Camille, Witch of Lust - A very average looking girl with no exceptional beauty, but her power as Lust captivates anyone who gazes upon her. Her power to be loved was so strong, most who gazed upon her cannot focus on anything else, and everything becomes meaningless to them. Even breathing or beating their hearts. They end up dying with happiness engraved on their face.

Not very well honestly. It's mainly the fault of the MC. I mean, I understand where the writer's going with how the audience is supposed to be as ignorant as Subaru. It's just that he never really asks the right questions, which can be suffocating to those like me that enjoy not having to guess what's happening until the MC has to die. Not sure I worded that well, but imo if you're going to have a dumb MC, he should at least ask questions fairly often. As I said before, that's something I feel Endride does much better than this show, despite how less popular it is.

I just don't like how much of a cry baby he is. Yes dying is typically painful. But after the third time, it's time to experiment groundhog style.

It's not good writing to just have characters react in a panicked state over things they could talk about. They were all getting along for 3~ days even whilst they KNEW he had some witch relation. Even if they thought he's some weird ass spy/minion no one fucking talks to him about it. Don't play nice and friendly then have characters go nuts, the viewer will only think of them negatively.

>>141895697
>Nah it's just that there's a lot of bad writing,a lot of moments where you ask yourself "why are they doing something like that ?" for example
Nice example...

In all honesty, the sheer number of complaints anons have had this last 2 months which the series itself has then addressed by the following episode or two, has simply been staggering. It's getting harder and harder to take complaints seriously, especially when it has now reached the point where so many anons are complaining about things that the series itself has already addressed in the past. Not only that but plenty of anons are making complaints which contradict each other when it comes to the MC. Half of them are all like 'why is he showing his own desires and emotions which are separate to mine instead of being a blank slate I can project myself on to' and the other half are calling him a 'self insert character'.

It's getting totally insane. The dumbest part about it all is that there are legitimate criticisms of this series which can be made - but those are never seen because anons would rather stick to their narratives they've invented.

The real reason for his suffering is because he is stupid. He literally refuse to fully utilize his powers on every death. He shoild have at least sacrifice 2 of his resets to learn magic. 1 more reset to see the extend of his power and see how much bullshit he can tell other people about his powers in a roundabout way. And the last one to fully figure out about the problem he is currently facing. Overall, it's just his fault.

>>141897127
>He's fucking nuts and disgusting.

>>141897127
If anything I think this is just the start of his breakdown, so enjoy!

>>141897146
>He literally refuse to fully utilize his powers on every death. He shoild have at least sacrifice 2 of his resets to learn magic
His save point moved, so he knows it moves but doesn't know when it will move again.

That doesn't make sense anon. The save points ARE NOT controllable.

>>141897127
>wahh why is he so calm about dying this is bs
>MC finally begins to lose it

>>141897146
So basically become a typical generic shonuen protagonist?

Why the fuck does he care about some half elf girl? Seriously, after the first time he died you'd think that he would just ask Roswaal for a fortune, leave and party it up. Why did he feel the need to follow her around? I'm aware that he's acting overly cheerful to mask and cope with his anxiety and stress but the MC acts like a goddamn middle school kid constantly. It would also be nice if we saw some character development in any of the characters but in order to have that you need your characters to actually have a personality in the first place. The writers haven't done a terrible job of that but given that we're 8 episodes in a 25 episode season I'd expect the characters to be more fully fleshed out then they are especially considering that almost all of the screen time is devoted to only 7 characters and they all have a fairly small amount of characterization considering how many episodes this show has been airing.

It doesn't matter if the save point is cobtrollable or not. Just by learning magic, if he can avoid the bad end is enough. If he can't he at least learn magic out of it . Doing nothing but the same shit over and over but slightly different isn't going to get him anywhere. He should have armed himself.

You grossly overestimate your own strategic ability.

Besides, how would you have randomly worked out you could learn magic when he only learned such a thing by pure coincidence? It's like you're looking at a rat trapped in a maze and complaining about it being unable to solve it when you can see the answer from your bird's-eye view.

>>141897146

You saw the half elf do magic. You ask if you could do it too. It's not that hard. And if you want to learn you ask it from the clown guy because he owe you. Not that hard.

>You can't kill a person just by learning shadow magic for the first time
Your just casually asserting things about the lore of the world that have no justification. Following your path would get you killed by the inhabitants of the mansion every time, and even if you mastered shadow spells to the point where you could escape (remembering you'd unlearn everything except the knowledge of how to do the spells each loop so that could be impossible anyway) - then you'd be running for your life from the mansion armed with only a week or so of magic training, a metia, and stinking of a witch.

I would honestly be disappointed with Re:Zero if Subaru had followed your strategy instead of the one we got to see.

>>141897859

>>141897873
I'm not casually asserting anything you dumbass. Did you actually watch this week episode? Shadow magic at its core is just debuff magic. And doing the same thing everytime with some things changing is good plan but that is a weak plan. It's like you're not even trying to gather more information. It's like you don't even want to know what's happening and why it's happening. The one thing I could praise Subaru is that one time he actually asked the help from the loli. That's a smart move that actually make sense but he doesn't make that move anymore after that. Now that's stupid. Yes you will unlearn everything else beside the way how to do it and the spells itself. But now you're are armed to the teeth. Now, you make your move to actually avoid the super bad end. But you seem to misunderstood something. The 2 reset to learn magic is not a way to get out of the loop. It's a sacrifice reset. If it actually manage to let you avoid the bad end, it's actually a good thing. But if it doesn't you still have your main plan.

>it's a Subaru side quest episode

>>141897851

Do you need the echo chamber for when issues with plot and characterization are raised?

MC acts as if he's being taken into a reasonably analogous world to an RPG, acts as if he's familiar with said kind of settings. Tries to be self aware in some regards, gets punished for thinking he is the hero, but still fails to research his new surroundings after the first 3 episodes.

It feels artificially drawn out because he should be doing some very, very basic things if not to just learn about the new location, but for the viewer to also receive world building. As others pointed out, the author is probably going for the mystery angle and why we slowly learn about the witch and politics, but it's at odds with his introduction and how he learned/tested the new world early on (currency, auto language translation, learning from deaths etc). He just suddenly stops asking the right questions and settles down with 'I want to fuck the elf'.

>>141898171
But he is at least not a cliche anon.

Bad tidings for Emilia fans,

This episode is the last episode where Emilia feels like a heroine. From here on until the end of the anime, Rem takes over that role.
I guess that's why they put painstakingly beautiful rendition (both visual and audio) to emphasize her angel-ness.

She's back in the main heroine seat in arc 4, so I guess we can hope for a second season.

>>141898258
Hope that it doesn't look very stupid. Like Emilia suddenly doesn't like Subaru that much and just leave him be when the show shows how much Emilia likes him.

Priscilla is going to have a pretty clear split popularity in /a/.
Half the people are going to shit on her because she's a grade-A bitch, while the other half is going to be aroused by her "I look down on all beings as pieces of shit" attitude.
It also helps that she's actually quite wise and queen-like, despite her being borderline insane with her literally believing she's the center of universe.

He is unusually attracted to Emilia.

Some people might say that its because of the reasons of his past world and how she gave him attention and cared about him.

But I still think its because of Satella.

What's worse, self-insert fags or the autists who constantly say they'd have done it differently?

The self-insert fags. At least the autists sometimes try to justify what they would have tried - and that can sometimes lead to interesting conversations. The self-insert fags simply whine that Subaru's personality doesn't match theirs. They may as well be shitposting at that point.

>>141897296
It does because you seem to forget that his death is setup for the second night.

If the save point moves a day closer, he has less time.

He eveb comments that he shouldn't abuse too much because he didn't know if he could die for real after a few deaths (thats when he spends the night in the library with drills)

You will never know if you have enough time to learn magic to deal with all the shit before you are locked a few hours before you die.

>>141898171

This somewhat applies to the autists too.

>>141898944
>What is tragic hero
Self sacrifice is a noble deed. A lot want to do it, but don´t have the balls to do it in real life, or more like you are afraid your sacrifice wouldn´t be appreciated. You need to be 18+ to post here kid. Human minds are more complex than you ever thought.

>>141899263
Well, it's pretty safe to assume there are people who fit easily into both labels.

>>141899298
>or more like you are afraid your sacrifice wouldn´t be appreciated.
Like when he sacrifices himself and no one remembers? Nice.

>>141899210
Empathize is pretty much self-inserting.
What you are looking for is sympathize.
And if you can´t self insert, Subaru would only look like a total idiot, with would make it unwatchable. But if you think you are Subaru, is easier to swallow the shit show throws at you.

>>141897430
You dont have enough time to "arm yourself"

The others anons are right, like he's doing now (and took long to) he's gathering information and earning trust.

As a silver lining, he only knew that he was being killed by the twins two deaths ago - and the last one he broke before suiciding.

Basically, his mistakes were: thinking it was his fuck up dying in his sleep the first night and overlooking his murder on the second

>>141899323
Guy gets appreciated by Emilia in the latest episode. Jesus fuck, watch the show. If you are talking about generally, he gets respected for him beating the cult later on. He does by dying several times. So yeah, reward without any consequences since the guy have 1000x 1 ups.

>>141899094
You´re the cancer shitting up this thread. How about you just enjoy the show instead?

>>141899412
He's nothing like a self-insert character though, a self insert character would sacrifice himself, survive, and get the girl. Subaru sacrifices himself multiple times before he gets anything out of it, he goes through so much suffering and every respawn he has to deal with no one remembering his new hardships.

>>141898171
Yeah, your argument does make some sense. He doesn't entirely stop asking questions, but it becomes noticeably less frequent once he latches onto emilia.

I think it's a combination of a few things, though, both in-universe and meta. First being that the MC, being the depressive hikki he is/was and thrust into a world where he has no emotional anchor, decided to latch onto the first "familiar" fantasy RPG cliche he found: the fantasy FMC. He even refers to it at least twice in the first episode, first with felt (who simply left him behind).
The second thing, I think, is also to draw in people who are used to having a set FMC and the MC actively trying to go for her. From what I've read in the threads, later on emilia is kind of sidelined in terms of the plot, so I think this makes sense.
You can also attempt to chalk "I want to fuck the elf" up to yandere witch's influence. But that might be stretching a bit, even for me.

>>141899453
Different level of self insertion exist. But they all boil down to, MC is you more or less. It make it easier to immerse yourself in the story. Good things happening to the MC? You will feel good, like it happens to you. Bad things happening to the MC? You will root for him to succeed, because you will feel good when he does. You will feel sad if he fails, which is in one way another, another emotional pay off.

Only time self insertion is failing on delivering a pay off, NTR. So if you liked Ram and Felt, you feel cucked.

TL;DR: Self insertion makes almost any shit more tolerable and enjoyable.

>>141899340
>And if you can´t self insert, Subaru would only look like a total idiot, with would make it unwatchable
Except not only is he not an idiot, he's proven to be way more intelligent than most of /a/, because the alternate strategies proposed by various anons have almost always been ones that would have failed disastrously by comparison.

No it did kind of, when Puck used that spell he had a similar feeling as when the shadow hand grabbed his heart. That's why he was pretty fucked up for a second after.

>>141899623
He was shown as wanting a relationship at the very start of the show with the romance manga and him looking at the couple.

This show peaked at episode 3 and took a major fucking nosedive when they arrived at the mansion.

If you still haven't figured out the cause of the curse is the dog you might be retarded.

I've never understood how you can self-insert. I think I understand the concept, but no matter what I do, I'm just an observer from the outside. I can sure as hell feel for the characters, though.
Video games and VNs might be different, since you can control a few things to a certain extent, but literature and TV? I'm not in any way controlling the character.

There are several reasons why people read and watch stuff, not just one.

I think if it were used on a normal guy they'd be a bit taken aback but be fine, but because of Subaru's mental state it affected him much more and Puck didn't foresee this. Or maybe it affected him differently because of that hand.

If not then Puck is a dick.

>>141899834
Nothing wrong with that. It just means you have a hard time suspending your disbelief on said work. If the MC does retarded things and get into situation because he stopped to use his brain, you will feel a little annoyed.
>>141899912
Not implying you have bad imagination, but self insertion is pretty high-tier mental gymnastic. Majority of human beans can´t self insert. Anime/VNs are mostly for the minority, the niche audience that can do self insertion.
>Can´t control
That is why people that self insert speaks up when the disconnect is too big. When MC throws himself at the wall instead of learning to climb it, you feel like the MC is too dumb to be you, so they complain. Which sounds valid to me.

>>141900074
>I think if it were used on a normal guy they'd be a bit taken aback but be fine, but because of Subaru's mental state it affected him much more and Puck didn't foresee this.

What surprises me is why he's still carrying a torch for the silver-haired girl.

I mean, he's in a whole new world. He basically has infinite time to go about doing whatever. Can't he - for his reward - ask for something like "Hey, I really want to learn magic." or "I want to be enrolled in the Academy." and just go from there?

I'm not sure why he's so fixated on that particular heroine. After my first death in the mansion, I'd have realized something very important: Staying around these people is fucking dangerous.

Is "self-insert" reaching levels of "edge" in being a word that's close to communicating literally nothing other than "I don't like this"?

That's true, in this sort of story there's always something off with characters who seem too nice. Especially as Puck's a spirit he probably doesn't really care about anything other than Emilia.

>How do you guys enjoy this compelling series
By asking myself what I would do in each situation, and seeing how the MC goes about things by comparison.

To be honest, this series had me hooked at the end of episode 3, because when they finally survived that battle I immediately knew what I wanted to do at that point. It was obvious to me that the most vital thing he could acquire would be Satella's real name - after all, with her real name, he'd have a much greater chance of being able to alter events drastically in the unfortunate even of a reset.

THEN HE ACTUALLY DID IT THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN.
