>>144308222
Yes, Re:ZERO is shit, just like your opinions.
People underestimate how great this episode is. It was such a huge call out on Subaru's behavior.
This episode in context, actually cuts deep through Subaru's persona like butter.
>Haven't I already told you Natsuki Subaru? If your own lies do not convince you, they will not convince others.
>Because not once have you said you want to save Emilia.
Crusch spells it out for anyone still in fucking denial. Subaru doesn't do jack shit for anyone other than his own ego.
>What you just displayed was neither loyalty nor devotion. It was the dependency of a dog or the greed of a pig that knows only it's own desires!
Priscilla lays it all out. Subaru doesn't treat others as people. Only as objects of need or desire. And his inability to recognize the humanity others deserve makes him a beast himself.
And how does Subaru respond?
>Stuck up bitch forgot I saved her when we first met.
IN CASE ANYONE DOESNT STILL GET IT the narrative is drawing a parallel to every interaction and forming of relationships Subaru has had. It is a direct call back to both his rationalization that Emilia "owes him a debt she could never hope to repay" and a direct call back to him "rescuing" Rem, where afterwards him and Emilia discuss if he even saved her, or even was responsible for her harm in the first place.
>If you want to convince someone you are righteous, you need to show them something of merit. I see no such thing in you, Natsuki Subaru.
And Anastasia delivers the coup de grace for Subaru and the viewer. Subaru pretends he's the noble hero of a light novel or video game based on his own sense if self-righteousness. And the otaku viewer who has been self-inserting into Subaru this entire time, and probably sputtering outrage at these "bitches and whores who just don't understand what a Nice Guy Subaru is and how much he sacrifices for them" is left in a state of impotent rage like Subaru is.

Fuck off, it's not that simple. Although autists will agree with you anyway just because they want to be on their made up anti self insert side.
>>144309849
Subaru isn't an asshole, he's simply broken after failing so many times despite trying so hard and then having no one around that's aware of the shit he's gone through. It's not like he's been egoistic from the start, he's gradually become that way because no one's been recognizing his constant efforts.
Subaru wants so much to save everyone, and yet everyone misunderstands his intentions.
Truly, only Reinhardt and Rem understand him. Too bad he was so dumb talking shit to Reinhardt, which's the only one who would listen to him.

His social interactions are terrible.
In the heat of the moment, and when it's a snap decision, he DOES shine through with heroic actions.
That's his good point.

>Haven't I already told you Natsuki Subaru? If your own lies do not convince you, they will not convince others.

That's not what she means she realizes he's doing it for revenge and not Emilia so she thinks he's just trying to use Emilia.

>>144310487

But that's right, he only sees worth in himself when being of use to others. He feels the need to attention whore at all times because if he's not helping he feels useless. That's why he couldn't stand waiting a single afternoon while emilia solved her own business, and proceeded to fuck up at any given chance
>>144310585
Yeah, Crusch is a pretentious bitch who thinks she knows everything. Actually, all candidates except for Emilia are just like that, some are just more agressive than the others.

>all these people literally too autistic to follow 16 episodes of character development
Shame it's so hard to find people to discuss this anime with
>>144310999
It's the start up screen. The battery's started dying and now his phone is doing the thing where it keeps dying a couple minutes after turning it on.
>>144311229
that's why most shows have so many information dumps and long dialogues explaining what's going on. Because people are dumb
>>144311229
What are you even trying to say? Most people recognize that Subaru had some solid character development. It's just that in his case, his development have slowly revealed him to be a massive piece of shit, very different from your first impression of him.

This show actually showed who understands context, actually watches the show, and understands why the characters are doing what they are doing, to those who aren't.
People have been cuddled with long infodumps that watching this suddenly gets them mad because they don't understand what is happening, even though the show covered everything they are actually asking.
It's great.
>>144311566
Nice argument, retard
Are people really this dumb, that they think Subaru is an asshole or a shitty person?
No wonder you people are lonely autists. Completely incapable of understanding human emotions.
>>144311703
>Subaru is an asshole or a shitty person?
No, he's a fucking egotistic retard though.
>>144311639
Subaru isn't originally an asshole that's finally had his cover blown, he's turned into an asshole because his efforts kept piling up while no one else knows about them. Over time he's started craving for acknowledgment. Not because he was an attention whore from the start but because he's been broken over and over.
If you think Subaru has been an asshole from the beginning you should rewatch the entire series.
>>144311756
This. He's not a bad guy, it's not his fault he'sthe Bishop of Pride
>>144308222
Shouldn't be that hard considering after episode like 12 or so it just devolved to some boring ass repetitions descent into madness by the MC.

I thought that was a pretty big indicator.
>>144312063He says he knows everyone's face but Pride.
>>144309849
He truly did nothing wrong. HAIL SAINT SUBARU!
>>144312114
There isn't a Bishop of Envy, is there?Might come true if there's only Pride left
>>144312114So Pride could be somebody else and Subaru has some kind of outside power because of how much Satella wants his dick?
I'll be mad if that's the case anon. 118.
>>144312063Yeah, I remember that but that doesn't necessarily confirm that it's true, right?
>>144312114
He said that in the LN? Because he didn't say that in the anime.
>Episode 16
>Still spending 20 minutes an episode for character developement OF A SINGLE CHARACTER.
Unless there's some massive timeskip or some incredibly awkward increase in pacing, this shit is going to end in a cliffhanger and you fuckers will be stuck waiting another year for the next season to do the exact same shit.
I'm not familiar with the light novel or the manga so I don't know how long that goes, but I'm guessing its not finished yet because this show clearly has no idea how it wants to end.
>>144312429
>I'm not familiar with the light novel
Opinion discarded.
Jokes aside, it will absolutely end on a brilliant note, don't worry
>>144312429
The LN has 6 volumes, and they are still adapting the third arc.
I think that the anime will only finish this arc.
>>144312513
The LN has 9 volumes out stupid.
Arc 3 ends in Vol9. Anime ends with Arc 3. So no problem there.
>>144311617
Reminds me of back when yarari aired. You can't even tell if it's just a loud retarded minority or if the average f/a/ggot is just stupid
And you know whar makes it funnier? The same people who can't understand those simple interactions, emotions, thoughts and behaviors are the ones that go around calling the character autists. It's hilarious
>>144312555
meh, i'm just dumb then. Still, nine volumes to cover only three arcs?
Holy shit.
>>144312686
Arc 4 is longer than Arc 1-3 combined.
>>144308222
Just adapt A Serbian Film.
Subaru isnt doing anything that would make him an asshole. He is in an alien place with no clues or hints as to what is going on. Nobody can even begin to help him with his dillema, and all the while he is stumbling around im the dark clinging to any stability he can.
You people expect too much from a 17 year old kid.
He's a kid. He isnt even a man. This is like throwing a high school kid into combat with no training and expecting him to be a bad ass. Only much worse.
>>144312555
>The LN has 9 volumes out stupid.
>Arc 3 ends in Vol9. Anime ends with Arc 3. So no problem there.
Like I said, its gonna be a fucking mess at this rate.
>>144312510
I doubt that considering its Episode 16 and they still haven't even finished character building, fuck man, last 3 episodes were just the same old "Drooling Kawasaki is having a mental breakdown" It didn't advance the plot at all, they literally decided to do something at the end of today's episode, and this shit is what, 20 minutes after intro/outro?
Its too much, man. At first I was glad its a 25 episode run, but now I'm just wondering why the fuck I'm even watching a person that can rewind time make decisions completely uncharacteristic of someone with said power.
>>144311552
That's the most retarded airplane I've ever seen
>>144312761
>This is like throwing a high school kid into combat with no training and expecting him to be a bad ass. Only much worse.
So like literally entire history of mankind up until like 50 years ago?
>>144312904
Except that he lived until now in modern Japan, so Subaru's as sheltered as it gets.
>>144312319
>>144312264
>>144312168Maybe since Pride is the mother of all sin, Subaru becomes Pride once he absorbs all the other powers?
>>144312429
>A single character
Well yes that's what happens in most savepoint stories.
>>144312761
>This is like throwing a high school kid into combat with no training and expecting him to be a bad ass. Only much worse.
Jokes aside isn't that exactly what's happening?
Subaru is in way over his head and has no idea of whats going on.
Fish out of water, being thrown into a hurricane and blasted by debris and lightening ever five or so minuets.
Poor kid has it tough.
Still developed a bit of an ego though.
>>144312853
Do you have ADHD? It's going great so far. You're complaining about one of the main points of the show being focused
>>144312904
No, because people dont usually fight super humans with magical powers in a completely alien world, then come back to life after they die with memories intact.
And many people did not manage to cope with being thrown into the deep end in real life, let alone in Subaru's situation.
The arguments for why he is an asshole arent even good ones.
They boil down to him being an egotistical asshole because he wants to do things for himself as opposed to being purely altruistic.
Theres nothing wrong with putting your interests first; especially in such a dire situation as Subaru.

I'll wager he's less retarded than you are in the same situatiom.
>>144312980But Satella would be the mother of all sin because she's the object of worship here. Maybe is Subaru decides to hoard the powers and then take on Satella with them he is definately pride.
>>144312992
You don't fucking say?
Couldn't have realized that without you explaining it to me, thanks faggot can you go choke on a dick now?
>>144313116
I disagree, but at the same time Subaru is neither 100% correct or 100% wrong, that's what makes him a good character.He's still a fucking moron though
>>144309849
I'm glad that there are people who get this. Subaru does the nice guy act all the time and pretends that he doesn't really care about getting a proper reward(every time he does something good he only asks for an insignificant reward) just because this inflates his ego, but it's only when shit hits the fan that he shows his true colors.

Why would anyone join the witch cult? It seems like it would suck.
You only think this show is good because it attempts to have an actual story instead of just being bland shit with no tension like the vast majority of anime series. It's like finding a restaurant that serves you instant ramen made with Mountain Dew instead of water and topped with Doritos in a neighborhood full of restaurants that only serve literal shit.

Still unlikeable, with the mental maturity of a five year old. He spent this episode demanding things of people, expecting them to what he wants, when throws a tantrum every time they don't, just like every single episode before this. The only difference this time is that he gets told.

Seriously?
There's a lot of political sense in what the 3 said, and I'd respect them more if they said that they were just letting Emilia die to cement their own claims, or that they didn't believe him.
Instead, they're going 'I'm not going to help, because you, personally, are a shit.'
That makes them infinitely worse.
>>144313504
Partially because the author is treating the WN like a first draft, adding and refining stuff for publication, a lot like how OPM is based on the manga instead of the webcomic.
Mostly because nobody makes money off WNs and there's no point in producing an anime if there aren't LNs to sell.

Which is fine, but they're also trying to take a moral highground, which is fucking retarded.

Pretty much the only enjoyment I get out of this show is how everyone immediately looks through Subarus attempts to be edgy.

Witch cult:
Pros: amazing fashion, cool powers(can melt into fucking shadows like its nothing), high combat ability, competent(if a bit insane) leader, lots of close friends you can trust
Cons: guilt
Empire Villager:
Pros: clear conscience
Cons: retarded rulers, unstable country, helpless against literally everything outside of magical barriers(even tiny dogs), no money, starve every winter, acquaintances but hardly any real friends
I'd say the choice is pretty obvious

You sound pretty jaded anon. Subaru is just an example of how a NEET would fare in a fantasy world. It doesn't make him evil. He's been in that world for a few weeks, and was introduced as someone aware of the fantasy world trope. It shouldn't be surprising he's still treating it like a game. The real fucked up thing is return by death and the accumulating PTSD. A lot of his deaths were torturous and unavoidable, and seeing people around him gruesomely killed has really fucked with his thinking. He's not just a dog, he's an abused dog, and other characters don't know nor care. Don't hate Subaru, he's just a scapegoat. Otherwise you're just asking for another Gary Stu MC.
>>144314030
You need to brush up on your philosophy. People must only be treated as ends, not means.
>>144313794
This so hard. Priscilla wanted him to lick her foot to show his devotion and when he reluctantly does so he gets kicked.
If he didn't lick her foot wouldn't that show he was an actual piece of shit who wouldn't put his pride before others?
It would have it boring but best boy reinhard should have been around. He would have helped and Subaru wouldn't need to rely on these fickle piece of shit candidates.

>>144313535
They realized that life is meaningless but couldn't go full nihilistic, instead just using a cult with a "greater cause" as a proxy for meaning.
>>144313794
I don't see what the problem is here really. Would you trust someone like Subaru? After that scene in court, being allied with Emilia, and acting like a fucking crazy lunatic? I would have hated that guy's guts and not wanted to help solely because of him. He has shown nothing likeable about his character to them. He was lucky they even gave him some of their time.
>>144314120
The act of desiring that would be evil as well, unless he hoped only for the salvation of their souls.

I liked how it showed the flaws in everyone in this episode.
Spoil me a bit but does subaru actually use what he learned from this episode and actually apply it later on?

Im pretty sure this is just wrong. Crusch called him out for being a shit, but the reason she didnt help is because Subaru didnt really give her any reasons to help him. Jewloli called him out for being a shit, too, but she actually helped him. She also made note of the fact that, similar to Crusch, Subaru didnt really give her much of a reason to help him. Its more "I'm not going to help, because you gave me no reason to; but you, personally, are a shit."
What you said is more or less true for Priscilla, though.
>>144309423
>The author being a sadist and hating self-insert MCs lends the series some quality. It's actually fun watching the autistic, arrogant, prideful wanker stumble from mistake to fuck-up to painful death.
It's actually not that fun. Part of the reason I hate those self-insert MCs and want to see them taken down a notch is because they become super strong with absolutely no effort and bitches go wet at the sight of him immediately.
Meanwhile he made his MC a huge weakling and most of the women in the series have either killed him, rejected him or just despise him for his personality. It's not fun seeing an one-sided slaughter from the strong to the weak, unless you're a certain ojou-sama.
>>144313682
What does the "kill maim burn who will tell you to and be casually killed by your superiors when they want to add punctuation to their statements" cult offer you that "kill maim burn as you like, I'm doing away with all power structures" Felt doesn't?
>>144313604
In a normal, respectable doomsday cult you would expect someone to get laid and do drugs. There guys just seem to get their shit fucked up.
>>144314337
Which, presumably, would be the reason he walked to a foreign shithole and started helping people.
Christianity is about saving yourself, and saving others. Missionary work is considered to be among the finest things a Christian can do within the faith, because they're helping to save others.

Rem likes Subaru. And Emilia doesn't despise him neither, she's just a bit disappointed because of the shit he did. She will eventually forgive him, though. Probably. And both had the chance to see that Subaru isn't that bad, actually wants to help, and is an okay guy.

Oh wait, it's because they're huge bitches who feel the need to take a moral highground against a NEET when they've just condemned a village to death.
>>144314564
Be a muscular kyoudai with disfigured face and an amazing helmet
To be fair Emilia getting killed would be an help to all the royal pretenders. Helping Subaru just has no advantage, regardless of his reputation.
>>144313410
this, nothing confirms he is pride yet
beatrice would have noticed if he was pride, it's pretty much safe to say that he isn't pride
it's just autists making shit up
Honestly haven't liked the show that much up in till this point these last 2 episodes have been fairly good though. But I still can't see why people are calling this show a masterpiece.
>>144314614
Yeah, from this episode, it's pretty apparent the candidates don't give a shit about the cult and Subaru realized that he needs something else to give him an edge.
>>144311896
By who?
>>144314659
>against a NEET
Know how I know you're a pathetic self-inserter?
Why are the royal candidates so pretentious?
>but they're just calling out Subaru on etc.
You know that's not their motive.
>>144314639
Note "most" not "all", and Rem still killed him in the second timeline at the mansion.(Even if he was afflicted by the curse)
>>144314662
I could probably manage the muscular part, but do I really have to be disfigured if I'm still going to wear a helmet at all times?
>>144314030
In reality, it's probably closer to a combination of both things, but if someone helped people solely for their own personal gain, it would be evil.
>>144314539
>>144314466
>if you don't help me everyone in a mansion and town is going to die and puck is going to freeze a significant portion of the country

This is in character for Priscilla, and maybe Anastasia. But Crusch should have wanted to stop the Witch Cult from murdering a bunch of people.
>he can't tell anyone about the witch's curse
So why doesn't Subaru just tell everyone he can see the future? Problem solved.

>>144313794
Finally, a man of reason.
Some people in these threads have a very twisted sense of morals. They see Subaru do good for selfish reasons, and they hate him. They then see Crusch and that purple loli let dozens of people die while refusing to lift a single finger for political reasons, and they applaud them.
Subaru is more of a hero than any of the candidates. I doubt that any of them, except maybe Emilia, would still be willing to try to save the day after being through what he 's experienced.
>>144314822
>>144314697
No one said it was confirmed, and she did detect the witches smell. If beetlejuice couldn't tell if he was a bishop when the smell was stronger what makes you think beatrice can?

Alright; you faggots have convinced me to marathon this up until the latest episode. I have been holding off but these threads are prodding me into it.

I find all of these statements off-putting; they don't make sense in the context of subaru's relationship with those characters and the conversations they were having. They make all of these grand and "insightful" pronouncements / judgements of his character based on what? They barely know him. To them he's just an over-eager clown who seems to be ignorant of their society. Why the hell are they even bothering to talk to him at all?
We as viewers might know enough about subaru to condemn his character like that, but they sure as shit shouldn't. It doesn't make them seem like super smart politicians who can read people, it just seems sloppy and out of place.
>>144314875
>massive sadistic bitch
I see no problem.
>>144314879
Don't lose faith in Emilia like most of these tards did, anon.
>>144314659
But they both said that. Crusch mentions it multiple times at the beginning of her negotiations with Subaru, even explicitly rejecting the one offer that Subaru has for her under the guise that it will happen regardless. Jewloli mentions it at the very end, saying that Subaru does not know how to properly negotiate because he is too invested in is own desires.
>>144314839
I think she got mad that he didn't even attempt to offer her anything in return and just immediately turned to begging. Also it's possible him doing that wasn't something she predicted which made her even more mad that she was wrong about something.
>>144314931
I'd already made my point.
Until he makes an actual rebuttal, I don't need to make another one.
>>144314777
He could try speaking in hypotheticals. Such as, "if we go to this place and do this, this very specific thing may happen."

Yes. The author will win Nobel Prize in Literature at not so distant future. Such brilliance in mere Japanese light novel. Unimaginable.
