You'd be surprised how much "dying" fucks up the mind.

>>143639669
Don't underestimate the depths of social stupidity from /r9k/.

>>143640116
Given that every single "arc" he's experienced with Emilia ends with her or himself or someone close dying, you can't blame him. If he's not there to witness things, how can he collect information so he can make sure no one dies?
By design he sees himself as never able to rest, lest things get fucked.

He legitimately has PTSD.

>>143640324
>>143640356
There's something else to keep in mind. Subaru said something about him being a knight just because his father was, when he said something about throwing around his father's name; we have zero evidence that's how it works in that world.

On the other hand, I don't want to leave out that one Nobel from the selection committee that said that Subaru's display made people less scared of Emilia. Having people feel embarrassment /pity is a great way to quench fear, it's 100% reaching but that may have helped.
>>
The first thing i ever learned in this world was the information that subaru is a self insert character. My first words as a baby were also "haha he is a little bitch, he went crazy just because he was killed in an extremely brutal way 3 or 4 times".

I can completely understand emillia viewpoint

If you trace the timeline as a single one you will see that subaru comes off as a really fucking obsessive weirdo that never did anything that warranted any kind of deep bond (for emillia that is) or showed any great deal of skill/feat.

Why doesnt Subaru just invent fire and show these primitive people how fire works? They will worship him as a grest wizard and then he can become the new royal wizard.

But it is also true that Subaru is incredible anxious and ... eccentric using a polite term. Considered his clothes he could just tell an half-truth. He came from another world, he does not know why, and he feels that Emilia is the only clue that has about it. It's Obvious That Followed Emilia Because of his reasoning with the dick, but technically the checkpoint was activated When He saved Emilia, so, it's not a total lie say that the girl could be a clue.

He had to say something but he held back the real threats and said that instead. I think it's very respectable and well done to have that kind of self control.

Subaru's sperg out was instigated by Roswaal. He knew exactly what would happen if Subaru showed up in court. Rem didn't just let him go. She was told to. So not only do Subaru make a fool of himself but he's a fucking tool as well.

It's called discipline, anon. They act as they should as a group until one of them deviates from it. Imagine a formation of soldiers.

He's just too inconsistent for me, its normal for a person's personally to vary a little but in some scenes he's brave as can be then in another he's become totally craven. Plus it doesn't make sense how he still fear death after being killed 7+ times and each time he comes back? The only thing to fear at that point is the pain but after 3-4 times you can get conditioned to it.

He stops fearing death fairly early on, he's sick of having to loop and have people forget him. After he kills himself he was willing to die to the dogs and reset on two separate occasions so other Petra and the twins wouldn't die. He doesn't fear pain or death when fighting Julius and he's disappointed he didn't reset.

Never, since the character have to be bland in order to be a self-insert. Reasoning like "he acts like he is from /r9k/" does not make him a self-insert, it gives him a personality, which in turn makes it impossible for him to be a self-insert.

"self-insert" have basically become the buzzword used by retards on /a/ to shitpost a show.
>>
>>143657328
Self inserts don't have no personality, they have personalities that are just vague and ill-defined enough for a person to easily imagine themselves as that character.

Kirito doesn't have no character, his character is just "well he's a cool dude I guess." Subaru is mostly the same, but with "cool dude" replaced with "awkward sperglord."
>>
>>143646456
Is this from the new OP?
>>
>>143657762
I don't think his personality is either vague or ill-defined at this point. It is pretty obvious at this point what his expectations are, how he thinks, and what he stands for.

He is selfish, self-entitled, and socially awkward. He is basically all the bad points of a NEET hikikomori, which he hides by pretending a genki attitude (which has been blatantly clear since that one episode where he cried in EMTs lap). If you want, you can call him a robot or whatever.

To me it more like that retards on /a/ is trying to force this notion of self-insert onto every MC in every anime. I guess that is why only shitty SoL and fantasy harems are popular on /a/. One is where they can look in envy about mundane everyday activities which could have been their lives, and the other is the fantastical lives they might get to live (since if it can happen to some random ordinary dude, then why not me?).

Being an embodiment of negative NEET features is all he does. He has no other personality traits. That's a poorly defined character because he's only symbolic.

Repeatedly dying is probably stressful. Knowing that you're utterly useless to anyone if you're not readily available to gather information probably eats at you. Being actually unable to explain your situation is probably pretty frustrating, not to mention when you do things right you end up erasing 95% of the common experiences you had with your friends. You've never had to deal with real hardship before. And then things go exactly the way you feared they would.

What a sperg lol.

So many people on /a/ don't understand what CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT is or in a more meta sense the writer is leaving room for the character to develop. After all apparently there is another 6 or so arcs that we haven't even seen yet.

Congratulations, another real term that has no fucking meaning anymore thanks to you dumb parroting fucks. A self-insert is supposed to be an extremely bland "japanese everyman" character, Subaru has plenty of personality both good and bad.

Then again, I should have known that there was no hope for the phrase back when people unironically thought that Shirou was a self-insert.

>>143665955
I like the: "Reborn again to undue past mistakes." There's a lot of drama to be had and what I really like is how much the MC is suffering because of it especially since it reoccurs quite often in Re:Zero.

Its one of the reason why I'm still reading the Tsuyokute New Saga manga. Its not good but I really like the premise. I also need to get around to watching Groundhog Day.

In a general sense I really want to see a scene in which the MC meets old friends, or a lover and just breaks down crying and the people in question have no idea why or have never met this person ever. I like that sense of loneliness in fiction.
>>
>>143666349
None of what you said has anything to do with self-inserting. It's the lack of character traits that makes them a self-insert, not their power level. Or is every powerful MC a self-insert now?

>>143666444
I replayed the original vn almost a decade ago, I don't really care about the franchise anymore. It was just an example.

He's more than just a caricature, he's the truth of what happens to big damn heroes that were never meant to be because of the reality in life.

That not everybody is capable of the strength needed to get the perfect ending, and this idea of "I just try harder, next time around" is literal pure insanity down to it's very definition.

>>143666482
>Shirou has character traits
Name three. Heroic isn't a trait, if you were unaware. Oh and the VN version of Shriou is dead now that he's a main character in pedoma ickya.

Also, having a blank slate like Shirou that is also powerful for insertion makes him that much more popular.
>>
>>143638626

I cannot stand the MC, but I like everyone else in the show. He is such an autistic faggot. He makes even Yukiteru from Mirai Nikki seem like a well-rounded, likeable character.

This.
>>
>>143666675
That fucker isn't loyal, brave, generous, or kind. He's already proven that he just wants people to be in his debt. Also he's dumb as rocks, he can't read social situations for his fucking life. Stack on to this that he still has no nuance whatsoever. His entire character is devoted to chasing after these girls hoping one of them falls in love with him. It's pathetic and not interesting in the slightest.
>>
>>143646055
He does. His magic book tells him that Subaru has some ability to choose the best future or circumvent obstacles.

In fact, everything in the first three arcs happen to 'test' the extent of Subaru's powers (even going as far as killing Subaru if he fails to obtain the 'best' possible ending), or to ensure his loyalty and proximity to him. He's just trying to use Subaru as a pawn to help resurrect the Witch of Greed. He knew the witch cult was going to attack, and he let them fucking in and paid them no heed.

He gets absolutely wrecked later. Literally everyone in the cast takes turns beating him up while Subaru burned his magic book that told the future.
>>
>>143666791
He's incredibly self-sacrificing to the point of legitimate insanity. I don't need to name three traits, as I said before, this alone gives him enough character to meaningfully affect the plot and greatly distinguish him from real self-inserts and disconnect the reader from his actions.

Yes he's dumb as shit. He's also fucking like 18? 19? His pride fucking rules his code, which is a character flaw and strength. WHAT? HE HAS DEPTH? And fucking nuance?

What? You butthurt that what you thought was another self insert that banged all the loli pussy doesn't fucking sit in the corner of the tavern like the mysterious stranger he is?

People come in all different shades and tastes, him lacking nuance is just a aspect and a fucking FLAW of his that helps DEFINE him, which drives character growth and development.
>>
>>143660327
He's a psychopath. Heck, he's always been a latent one if you noticed that he was covering up his depression from the very beginning, by acting like an autist to trick himself into being happy.

It gets worse as time goes on. His 'love' for Emilia and his journey is supposed to mirror Satella's 'love' for Subaru and her own journey. There's not so much difference between the two. If you didn't notice, Subaru never cared about Emilia. He doesn't care about her thoughts, her feelings, her ideals - the only thing he cares about is her as an objective, a grounding force that keeps him anchored in the world. Without that, he'd have gone mad long ago, not even being able to have the privilege of dying, looping endlessly throughout his life aimlessly, which would break even the strongest of men over time.

Her rejecting him is effectively destroying his raison d'etre. He needs her to need him, and he needs to protect her, because otherwise all the suffering that he's gone through has been completely meaningless. It just gets worse over time, at the beginning he was only using her as an anchor in a world that he knows absolutely nothing about and has nothing, then he wanted to save the girl that was nice to him, and things escalated from there.

Not quite. The less traits a character has, the easier they are to self-insert into, as everyone has different personalities. Ideally, a blank slate/nice guy (i.e. most academy harem MCs) makes the best self-insert.

Subaru is the more realistic approach.

Get a NEET, who by nature are people who run away from stress and hard choices, in a situation where he gets a shitload dropped on him at a single time, added to this he is the closest to a girl he likes he ever been.

>>143667750
Plenty of characters from other series aren't held to the fucking standard of reality that is people don't fucking die and come out okay, especially when you multiply this 8 times over, 7/8 being excruciatingly painful in addition to the pain gone through while just trying to survive, ON TOP OF watching dearly loved ones be sometimes quite literally gutted before their fucking very eyes which now means you must commit suicide AGAIN to ensure they live, on top of the stress, pain and anguish they must toil through.

Fuck off, I know battle hardened vets who've been broken by finding their buddy got nailed while he was out of the wire.

I know A vet who barely survived an IED because his vest caught the shrapnel aimed at him and the brush up with death broke him in ways he can't explain, not even 15 years after the fact.

Real fucking human beings have a hard enough time dealing with the death of their fucking dog.

Their own death isn't something most normal people don't think about, but aren't entirely bothered because of it's finality. Having to remember the pain of 8 deaths would destroy the human psyche.

>>
>>143666915
Not that anon, but I watched the UBW anime recently and then played the first route of the VN and Shirou comes across as 2 different characters in them. VN Shirou is definitely not a self insert, he sacrifices himself way too much, just can't accept basic reasoning and the like. I feel like those traits are toned down in the adaptations tho, and those traits are the exact same ones a self insert character would have (even if Shirou does take it to a stupid level), so I would say AnimeShirou is, or at the very least, feels like a self insert.

But from what I could gather is that

The emillia from the first life was actually satella, her personality was different than in the second life and onward, the first life emillia was more outgoing and insincere.

What the fuck is your issue?

Death isn't painful? Getting gutted, stabbed, impaled, smashed, decapitated, cut in half literally, isn't excruciating, even when the show and manga clearly point out that even simple, supposedly painless deaths haunt the MC?

Especially when compared to real life where, yeah, that shit would be painful and haunt the memory of anybody who'd lived through it?

My father once said,

"If they're not bitching, they're not happy."

Basically people ask for these kinds of characters all the time, and when they finally get they're rounded character, they go apeship because he's not making the decisions they as a viewer make.

>Why doesn't he just do x to achieve y?
>Why doesn't he just act like I want him too?

Maybe it's because we're not the ones living a now immortal and uncertain life which we have barely anything to hold onto accept the hope of saving people in return for a new life; like Subaru.

I think what most /a/non's lack is the ability to understand they're are many complex thought process that go through a person's mind, affected by past experiences and elaborately constructed ideals. Therefore it's childish to call him retarded, simply based on the actions he has yet to learn from due to his different mindset. He clearly isn't pandering to anyone on this delusional board since no one likes the choices he makes, probably because they relate to his situation. Or maybe he just reminds us all that we're just like him, once we find something to cling to we don't give up on it easily, even if it rejects us.

Subaru isn't a self-insert, he's just an obnoxious desperate hopeless annoying faggot. Not a bad character by any means but he's insufferable and unlikable.

Self inserts are generic everyday men who live the most mundane lives and react in the most safest, predictable and blandest way to everything to be easy to insert into. subaru's too much of a hopeless nutjob and sperg to be a self insert.
>>
>>143670340
His eyes looked fairly bad at the start, or at least he looked kinda down. He was probably tired of life, or at least not finding any enjoyment in it. If that's enough to remove his attachment to things in terms of technology then probably.

We also don't know how he lived his life, his cellphone looked fairly old, so he probably didn't have all that much.

Judging by some of his remarks, Subaru has serious issues with being perceived as worthless.

If I had to guess, this is probably related to some kind of persecution complex that shut-in otaku tend to have and how they are generally perceived by society.

So he's struggling to find his place in this new world, but he hasn’t moved past his preconceived knowledge of shitty isekai light novels enough to realize that the fate of the world does not rest on his shoulders.

So Subaru continues to believe his transference to this new land is a sign of his true destiny as this world’s savior.

Thus the main reason for Subaru’s frustration is that the characters in his life are going off-script and refusing to make everything revolve around him personally. Therefore they do not feed into his attention whoring, and that becomes perceived as a personal slight against him.

>>143680994
>Is Subaru tied to the half-elf?
Yes he is. Satella the Witch is using Subaru for unknown reasons and is the one respawning him when he dies, and setting up his checkpoints.

She's also basically putting her scent all over him, marking him as her territory and other Witch Cult followers thinks he's a Pope.
>>
>>143681208

I meant the half elf Emilia since she asked him to call him satella

I was wondering if subaru just let Emilia die and walked away, would that force him to respawn?

Or is she irrelevant to the witches plot?

Just because it's WN/LN doesn't mean it's automatically shite, you gotta clear this thing out of your head in order to think correctly.
Then, what kind of characterisation do you think you can get out of a fantasy work? You cannot get Wheel of Time level of in depth exploration because there's not enough time to balance story and development. Fucking hell, most visual works don't display any character development, and even great works like Perfect Blue are more busy dealing with the themes and direction than taking care of characterization. I mean, fuck me if the stalker or the actual guilty party weren't fucking cardboard cutouts from your average Western movie.
You guys seem to think that every anime needs to be Eva level of exploration but god fucking damn, it would be painfully boring if every anime had to do introspection shit just to please your autism by making you think you're watching some high-level entertainment for "intelligent people" like you.
You guys are making me actually pretty angry with your pretention towards visual works.

That's the thing. Emilia's actions are perfectly understandable. But so are Subaru's. Sure, he fucked up horribly in last two episodes but we know that as watchers. If you try to understand his point of view you will realize it's hard to blame him for what he did.

These episodes are a pain to watch for me but I respect the show for what it's doing and how. Hopefully we'll get proper reward for current suffering.

Subaru is still a shit person though.

>Individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder frequently lack empathy and tend to be callous, cynical, and contemptuous of the feelings, rights, and sufferings of others. They may have an inflated and arrogant self-appraisal (e.g., feel that ordinary work is beneath them or lack a realistic concern about their current problems or their future) and may be excessively opinionated, self-assured, or cocky. They may display a glib, superficial charm and can be quite voluble and verbally facile (e.g., using technical terms or jargon that might impress someone who is unfamiliar with the topic).

>Lack of empathy, inflated self-appraisal, and superficial charm are features that have been commonly included in traditional conceptions of psychopathy and may be particularly distinguishing of Antisocial Personality Disorder in prison or forensic settings where criminal, delinquent, or aggressive acts are likely to be nonspecific. These individuals may also be irresponsible and exploitative in their sexual relationships.

How her gaining trust of an idiot is a reason to trust her? He's way to stupid to know whether she manipulates him.

I think that it would make people even more suspicious of her, because wasting her time with such a useless loser makes it seem that she may have some plan for using him somehow.
>>
>>143692470
He just seems to keep getting more retarded

I don't see why that would stop if he dies. Obviously this can't continue (hopefully) so I'd assume something else makes him stop.

You can argue "He's going crazy because of repeated trama death etc" but that doesn't make it interesting or fun to watch. Just goddamn annoying.

Multiple times throughout the episode I thought that maybe, just maybe, Subaru would snap out of this intolerably cringeworthy selfish obsessive stalker mindset and we could return to the quality of episodes 1-11, but no, it continued on all the way to end where Rem ends up dying because of him.

I'm giving this 2 more episodes to pick up again before I drop the series, I cannot take any more of the angst running roughshod over every interesting plot point and character that pops up."

If he was a sociopath he wouldn't care so strongly about Rem and Emilia.

If you were to diagnose him, which you obviously can't without asking far more questions, his observed behaviors would categorize him as bipolar.

>Bipolar disorder, formerly manic depression, is a mental disorder with periods of depression and periods of elevated mood.[1][2] The elevated mood is significant and is known as mania or hypomania, depending on its severity, or whether symptoms of psychosis are present. During mania an individual behaves or feels abnormally energetic, happy or irritable.[1] Individuals often make poorly thought out decisions with little regard to the consequences. The need for sleep is usually reduced during manic phases.[2] During periods of depression there may be crying, a negative outlook on life, and poor eye contact with others.

IMO, there is some obsessive-compulsive disorder overlapping as well.

Subaru is the ideal MC of Isekai; not soulless self inserts like KIirito and Shirou. The only reason why people don't call Shirou out on his self-insert shit is because he doesn't warp the plot; self-inserts are fine as long as character personalities and plot consistency don't get bent around him.

Anyway, Rem is the first girl in his life to confess to Subaru (I think I understood correctly the translation) and also this makes her special to him. So, maybe he would have felt the same warm feelings if also another girl had confessed to him. It's a first time, basically, for this it's someway special. But she isn't the one who he wants the most.

Look. I always felt a bit forced Rem's feelings toward Subaru, but after reading that translation, I can understand her better. And now I see them way more natural and I really pity her. I can't even believe that Subaru, after her words, is able to reply "I love Emilia". But I believe this makes his character also better. Some people already dislike him for some of his actions, but this guy isn't your usual pandering MC. He does whatever he wants, not what the audience would expect.

>>
>>143701308

Well, some Remfags (not all of them are silly) for sure. But other people will understand and appreciate Subaru's reaction, Also because in this part he is really introspective. It's explained like he hates himself for acting like a clown, behind a fake smile, just because he actually believes he has nothing to offer to other people. Isn't this the reason why many people are disliking him? For him acting like a cheerful cocky brat? Well, he explains he hates himself for the same reason, but he only wears this mask because he thinks he can't be better than this. Only fake smiles to hide his weaknees. But he feels useless and powerless.
