Aaaaah, please shut up. I'm tired of this argument.

Subaru is clearly the result of poor writing. He is not stupid because he is more HUMAN or some shit that you insist in believing. He is stupid for the sake of plot. And that's it.

All of us here are HUMAN too. C'mon, we're in /a/, many here have more than 20 years. WE ARE HUMAN, WE ARE NEET, OTAKUS, FILLED WITH FLAWS. So, if we can see that the guy is a retard, it means that his idiocy is beyond normal.

Sure, he became Ninja Jesus, but he still would have been killed several times over if it weren't for his comrades' help. It's essentially the point of his character: He succeeds because he has his friends to back him up.

Also, what does Obito have to do with anything?

Subaru's not stupid, he's actually doing considerably well considering the pressure he's been put into. You can't expect someone to act reasonably after experiencing death and seeing other people die so many times. That's what makes him a character the audience can relate to and his experiences so vivid and powerful.

The only reason Kirito defeated the rape pixie was because retarded sidetrack arc ended up mattering, Asuna sneaking out a key card, and the ghost of an arc villain.

Because he's an idiot. I understand the mental stress of looping every time, but the guy in all you need is kill cracked after 100+ times. Subaru didn't even loop 5 times before going mental.

Witch's Stench hasn't made timelines unwinnable yet.

When will the author make that matter to make timelines harder to win?
>>
>>145399292
The way I see it, the issue is less cracking in the sense of "I can no longer function" and more "I have completely lost the ability to empathize with people and am now a total sociopath" so that even if he succeeds it will be meaningless to him because he can just reload his save and try another outcome

Basically he doesn't want to become that flower from undertale
>>
>>145399207
Yeah, but it's been consistent in Naruto's case. Even during the final battle he would have been entirely fucked on his own.

>>145399226
I think feeling the pain of being brutally murdered several times as well as seeing people you care about being slaughtered over an over while becoming more and more unsure whether there's anything you can do to change it has got to do things to your mind. Personally I think the guy's pretty stupid, but I wouldn't underestimate the effects of the shit he's been through.

You go through an alley and dies stabbed. Then you "wake up". You become confused about what happened. What do you do?

So the more he respawns, the harder the game gets, up to the point where he's just gonna get spawnkilled for eternity

This is a very interesting turn the story could have taken, he doesn't give a shit anymore and thinks of people as NPCs. I would've liked reading something like this.
>>

>no pressure
>all the bullshit he has to deal with in this arc to make sure everyone survives.
He's by far the weakest character with no real way to fight back, all he has going for him is a little knowledge. It isn't about his own survival either as he can just leave if he felt like it unlike other loopers and his checkpoints move.
>>
>>145398261
So good, rewatching right now.
>>
>>145399132
The point is that he knows he is weak and he will end up dying, but he keeps doing it. You know what Shinji does when he realizes that the situation is bigger than he can handle? HE RUNS AWAY! Subaru continues entering into the robot. Plus, he does it for people he just met (and who tried to kill him). The resilience of the character is ridiculous.
>>
>>145399718
That's the point, you have endless possibilities, you can try literally everything, he even has the advantage of saving after a favourable outcome, but he doesn't even stop 2 seconds to think at all.
>>
>>145399714
Like I said, undertale already kind of did this, but it would be pretty surreal seeing some of the actions he would start to take.

Especially when he becomes a complete monster and starts killing and maiming people for the fuck of it

>>145399628
>People aren't that frail
I don't know, I think plenty of people would be severely mentally fucked after all that.
>>
>>145399820
Are you fucking retarded? He TRIED to give up, like 2 episodes ago. Shinji had no one support him, Subaru on the other hand has Rem and Emilia. The fact that he helps people he doesn't know just shows that he has empathy, nothing wrong with that.
>>
>>145399893
I agree. I'm saying it would be neat to see the progression. At first, he grinds to help his quest. Then maybe he goes around keeps resetting things until he knows exactly what to say to each person.

Then he starts to manipulate people with knowledge he shouldn't have. Eventually, after seeing his loved ones die a thousand times. he becomes desensitized to their plight. Then he realizes that he is a being on a different level than anyone else. Once he can no longer empathize with Emilia, shit will hit the fan.
>>
>>145400079
I could never empathize with Emilia. Saint-like girls like her just give me the creeps. When she said something about "you help me for you own good" or something to subaru i was about to punch the screen.
>>
>>145400020
I think muvluv alternative is very related to this topic. When the MC sees his teacher/superior die he crumbles completely, but after he sees her original version alive and well he ricovers. With the reloading ability, death of loved ones loses meaning.
>>
>>145400079
Do you know of a ln with such a setting?
>>
>>145399836
Other than the fact that he mentally can't handle continuously looping he does early on think of just waiting for death when it was peacefully in his bed but he gets worried when he's killed by a wrecking ball out because dying hurts. Also there is less benefit in waiting because details change and the loops quickly diverge.
>>
>>145400023
>The fact that he helps people he doesn't know just shows that he has empathy, nothing wrong with that.
No, that's plot convenience.It is an excuse that the author managed for him to continue doing shit. He falls in love at first sight by Emilia and continues taking care of the maid who tried to kill him. A normal guy, especially when facing risk situations, learn to not trust so much so much in anybody. But Subaru believes in everything, because if he didn't, there would be no story. Again, it's plot convenience. He's stupid because the author need that and not because he is normal/human/empathic.

It's like these romcoms where the characters can never confess. There are people who believe this is normal.
>>
>>145400321
It's still some fucked up stuff to see. I guess some people might get over that quickly, but I think plenty would still take permanent mental damage from that.
>>
>>145400466
I was starting to believe i was the abnormal one for not giving a shit about Emilia and the maids. Thank you anon.
>>
>>145400530
I suggest you play it if you haven't done so already. I cried like a bitch two times with that game, even with the walking dead i just cried at the end.
>>
>>145400675
Perhaps. I watched a bit of the anime but it didn't quite feel like my cup of tea. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
>>
>>145400466
Just because it's a plot convenience it doesn't make the show any less good. Most stories are ridden with them but people are still able to suspend their disbelief, whining about them to such an extent is just nit-picky.
>>
>>145400466
He fell for her because she was the first girl to give a shit about him instead of being judgmental and was genuinely nice. He's stupid because he's emotional, empathy driven and highschool dropout but yes if he wasn't any of these things the plot would end after his first death as he promptly leaves town.
>>
>>145400756
If you're talking about Total Eclipse it's bound to be terrible, like every anime taken from visual novels. The games are an entirely different matter. The protagonist is a good example of a guy that isn't anything like a genius, but thinks about what to do with knowledge from the future and taking advantage of his past experiences, going from a normal student to a veteran soldier. He's everything subaru isn't.

If there was a problem that you were completely aware of that was about to happen to a person--that problem being death--would you really just turn your back on them, even if you didn't know them?

Would you really just turn your back like an edgelord knowing that you let those people die without doing anything, knowing that you could have?

Why is that? It's not like there's a black screen that goes "game over" after he takes a step from the town. It would actually be interesting to see him get away from the obvious track the author made.
>>

He was always okay with death or he would leave he's not okay with suicide or dying for the sake of experimentation.

>>
>>145400466
Episode 18 and people still think like this.

It's like everyone who wants to criticize Subaru's character fail to realize his motivation.
Go rewatch the first couple of minutes of episode one, and take a closer look to his eyes. Those are the eyes of someone who's dead inside. As soon as he gets teleported to Lugunika, his eyes start to shine again.

At first, Subaru was excited because he thought it was a dream-like situation where he could be the hero he always wanted, correcting the shitty life he has led so far, and he acts acording to that, saving the day and stuff. It is exactly that mindset that makes him a complete jackass in arc 3: his pride as a self-proclaimed knight.

Then, as he spends time in the mansion, he gets emotionally invested. If he felt atraction to Emilia's good will, he completely fell for her with the lap-pillow thing.

>and continues taking care of the maid who tried to kill him.
He was scared as fuck, but he also knew that Rem and Ram were good people (the hand holding scene confirms that for him), but more important than that, he wanted a place in the mansion, that is why he tried so hard to gain everyone's trust, especially Rem's.
>>
>>145401203
Yeah right, always okay. he absolutely doesn't scream at rem after she killed him. Yep.
>>
>>145401175
There is no story if he chose to just leave as soon as he respawns the first time and decides Emilia isn't worth being stabbed over.
>>
>>145401211
Yes, do you even need to ask? Every fucking time he respawns it's the same scene where subaru hugs rem/emilia or any other female character near him because even though he already respawned dozens of time somehow he's still surprised when this shit happens
>>
>>145401279
You don't give a shit about people you just met possibly dying?
>>
>>145401327
I thought you were going to mention the whale as that is the one time his survival instincts take over.

Watch that scene again he is a-okay with being killed by Rem at first but he starts crying when he realizes that Rem only pretended to like him.
>>
>>145401279
>You don't give a shit about people you met for the first time
Granted, yes, but the one shit I give to anyone regardless of that is that I hope they don't die.

>>145401342

Now the recent criticism is now that Subaru is bipolar. Switching emotions too many times making him inconsistent.
> Episode 7, he became depressed and should have stayed depressed.
He felt that people didn't care about him considering of what he believes were his achievements that made him feel like he existed. When he remembered the hands, he truly felt like he mattered.
> Episode 8 being so eager to please and calming down.
The shamac kind of triggered him and learning of Satella made him realize that he needed to work harder until he calmed down.
> Episode 15, Outburst and shock
He was faking his shock and focused on faking to receive sympathy. He couldn't turn away from Rem trying to save him but he inherently being selfish in wanting to be acknowledged.
> Episode 18 Being depressed and getting back up.
He realized that he was truly worthless. He feels that his existance does not matter to others other than Rem and choosing her to run away with him. No one expects anything from him. No one except Rem herself, who cared for Subaru and sees him as a hero. Subaru felt acknowledgement and expectation and is willing to become a hero for Rem.
Subaru is complicated. His desire for wanting to be recognized turns into vanity and essentially clouds his emotions if he does not calm down.
>>
>>145401638
how is he fucking surprised? He resurrected how many times already? He knows how this shit works, he already killed himself just to respawn once, why is he still surprised?

I'll be honest this anime is not so bad but it has some huge holes when it comes to character development. Subaru starts out like a normal guy, he gets teleported into this world and he thinks he's the hero, so he follows Emilia etc.. etc.. Fine, then he gets killed 2-3 times and realizes he basically respawns. Ok, now maybe he should stop being so surprised whenever he dies? Also what the fuck was the whole mind-break episode, it made no fucking sense. He got fucked, he finally regained his sanity and looked like he was going to be serious from now on, and then he just goes back to being useless? Then after all that shit he just wants to run away with Rem? And why the fuck is Puck so useless? So he's so strong he can destroy the world, but he can't protect Emilia?
>>
>>145401896
>The guy gets tortured only to act like nothing happen when he gets released?
He more than once stated that he would rather never experience it again and burst in tears when Satou rescued him. What else the fuck do you want?
>>
Subaru has unlimited time but could he really train something to mastery? Although memories are in fact physical I feel like it's one of those bullshit time travel concepts where he retains all of his brain but no other physical change.
>>
>>145401854
It's the other way around he's possibly OP but he isn't a Mary Sue.
>>
>>145401309
>Subaru was excited because he thought it was a dream-like situation where he could be the hero he always wanted
In the first minutes he dies. Soon after he dies again. It is not painless. Soon after he sees people dying. It is not painless. He sees extremely dangerous people causing suffering. It is not painless. He sees terrible scenes. It is not Magic Knight Rayearth, it is Berserk. It is traumatic. It is no videogame, it's real life. It is far from being a dream.

If he sees as a dream after all, it's because he's an idiot and the author a sadistic.

this.
People actually believe that subaru is ""REALISTIC"" because he is a retard.
>>
>>145402188
Pre episode 18 he wasn't serious about anything and only put enough effort in to be rewarded for actually trying, training for mastery isn't something he would do when he only wants to be liked.

>>145402102
He gives up/gets mind broken because fighting an army of cultists who steam rolled everyone in the mansion is far beyond him. He gets up and tries again but he's running on pure rage and once that goes out he has nothing.

Puck was probably asleep it's Betty who's jobbing.

What do you mean by "realistic"? Now I'm calling you a retard because you can't capitalize. And the other guy moaning.
>>
>>145402228
He's a Mary sue self insert like very other harem protag

Just a little more suffering and not as martial as some.
>>
>>145402815
He's realistically retarded.

>>145403238
He isn't a Sue compared to other plot related characters, Compared to other harem leads who are black holes at the center of a star system, he's a planet with the odd satellite in orbit.
>>
>>145403238
The world doesn't revolve around him. He has to make it revolve. With his own effort and value into his life.

With his Mary sue plot powers.

It's amazing the lengths you faggots go to make your shitty harem seem like they actually have deep and/or well done plots.

> In the first minutes he dies
After half a day actually, more than enough time to get emotionally invested with Emilia (she saves him and heals him asking nothing in return, helps a little girl, etc) and to admire the "beutiful and mysterious" world he has been thrown into, with demi-humans, magic, spirits and stuff. That alone was enough to make it dream-like. Then he gets killed, but completly fails to recognize his power. When he does, "return by death" suddenly seems like a blessing, because what a surprise, he can take advantage of this ability to save his "main girl", to basically return the favor and be heroic. That doesnt mean he's unaware of the danger, because he doesn't try to fight Elsa thinking "I can respawn anyway lol" (that would be stupid).
Also, you deliberately make it sound like he was thrown into a living hell right from the beginning.

Of course, he drops the videogame mindset in arc 3 after seeing everyone's corpses in the mansion.

>>145402093
That is a criticism I can understand, not the "omg why is he so stupid!".
I could not have explained it better. I think that is exactly what the author is trying to convey with his character. And I understand people not liking Subaru for those reasons (even if I personally want to see him grow). He is unstable, and he becomes more unstable the more he suffers.

Fucking idiots, you can't even begin to differentiate between a Mary-Sue from a non-Mary-Sue.

Another criticism towards this series is about time resets.
I just wish people would stop using that argument about devoid of consequences. The contrarians keep arguing on about how Subaru should use return by death when he does not control or use it. And they say, "Why doesn't Subaru use the power? You know you will reset back." The thing is, he values life. Consequences stay until you die. There's no way you can deal with that if you are dead. It happened. That's why the series tries to make the most of life that Subaru is living through. But now people say, "Oh, time resets have no tension or comsequences since the protagonist will always win. Subaru has immortality to fix mistakes!" Which kinda contradicts their earlier statements about "Why doesn't he utilize it?" Doesn't that notion actually accept no consequences? Seriously, why do the contrarians keep contradicting themselves? In episode 7, he may have offed himself, but what did he do? He hesitated. When he asked to die in episode 17, what did he do? He actually fought back. Consequences are experiences you deal with until death. There's nothing that can be done. It's how Subaru can handle life he was given again that he moves forward.

>Everyone expecting someone with PTSD to act reasonably and not realizing his obsession with Emelia is because she's the most familiar person to him in the brand new fucking world and the only person who didn't try to kill him/hate him at first sight
>HURR HES A RETARD
>I WOULD HAVE DONE IT DIFFERENTLY

He's not retarded you fucking mongs he's UNEDUCATED. He doesn't fucking understand how the society of this world works. He's constantly trying to see everything like his fucking home, and the curveballs keep being repetitive nutshots to him.

>why does he get depressed and then stop being depressed?

Because depression doesn't fucking go away despite what people look and act like. You are fed and told and shown CONSTANTLY that Subaru is faking the hell out of himself because otherwise he would just be a dead ass shell of a human and oh yeah giving up means the end of the god damned world.

Fucking hell this show isn't even that great it's decent at most but you fags are on a whole new level of dense.

>>145405954
Subaru really doesn't have ptsd. He doesn't have mental trauma or something like that. They are mistakened by that concept. His character is revolved around wanting to have an existance for himself explained here.>>145402093
>>
>>145405954
no, he is unable to learn from mistakes at a rate of a normal, healthy human being.

that makes him a literal retard.
>>
>>145406454
You know what makes you a literal retard? The fact that you can't type a proper sentence.

You are absolutely, completely and utterly retarded. I'm suprised you are even able to breathe.

>he doesn't know how the respawning works exactly
>he doesn't know when he gets a checkpoint
>he doesn't know if there are any negative consequences to respawning constantly (hint: there is)
>he doesn't know if he even has infinite respawns
>HE DOESN'T WANT TO FUCKING DIE BECAUSE DYING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GUNS IS FUCKING PAINFUL

Please hang yourself in a forest
