Re:Zero has been pretty cringe-worthy lately, until I started looking at it as a series of moral life lessons in what NOT to do. There are many paths to enlightenment, and one of these paths is the Skillful Path. The Skillful path teaches that if one is unhappy in life, it is because they are unskillful in certain areas. To become happier, one must become more skilled. Subaru is unskilled emotionally. He has ZERO control over his emotions, and this lack of skill/emotional control is creating many mistakes which cause him pain and unhappiness. He is unskilled mentally, as shown by his horrible negotiation skills and while he tries to plan things out, he doesn't think far enough ahead. Physically, he is also a zero. He also does not have any particular specific skills to be useful or make money. The creator of this show is trying to teach people the dangers of being a ZERO in life. Natsuki Subaru Scale of 0 to 10 Charisma- 0.5 Emotional Control- 0 Physical Strength- 0.5 Money Making Skills- 0 Social Skills- 0.5 Determination- 11 He was slothful in the real world, not putting in the time to work out, improve his communication skills, learn various skills to make money, etc etc. While its annoying to watch him be stupid, emotionally unstable, weak, and useless, I think the lesson in this show is determination to improve oneself as well as learning self-control.
The Greed of a Pig- basically wanting something for nothing, instead of trading the only thing he had, which was information, quid pro quo Sloth is somehow represented by this crazy guy but Subaru was lazy as fuck in the real world Pride was shown in stupidly fighting a guy and making an ass out of himself in general, wanting to be praised as someone exceptional when he has not put in the time and effort, but also Wrath was there, as anger has clouded his rational decision making.

>Physical Strength- 0.5 you haven't watched the anime have you
Tyler Hernandez
yay new bait thread like every week
Jordan Martinez
The second manga, that graphic one is what the anime should have been like. The character design and gore would've been 10x times better
Benjamin Sanders
you are just projecting, op
Andrew Green
I would compare Natsuki Subaru to Hon'iden Matahachi from Vagabond. Cowardly, a drunk, a liar, lazy, unmotivated, a loser. Subaru is a loser going into the story, and he has a lot of catching up to do to become a better person
He is the character you loathe because of all their bad qualities, but hope they improve themselves
Camden Thompson
Does he get less autistic later? Not that I care. I'm only watching this for Rem anyways
Kevin Gray
he is much more likeable in the manga... the anime makes him look like a douche
Ayden Brooks
>Physically, he is also a zero. You may think you are smart for dropping zero here and there but actually you are a smartass.
John Lewis
just saw the new episode...WHAT ARE WORDS, Subaru? What are these mysterious noises that come out of your mouth to EXPLAIN THINGS? (without triggering hands)
Evan Wood
This user gets it
Parker Fisher
damn, keeps getting more intense. I like it, also got to see cutie beatrice again
Brandon Walker
>Physical Strength- 0.5 Stop reading here.
Mason Mitchell
Re:Zero is hated on Sup Forums mostly because of his retarded fags.
Lucas Martinez
he also has good charisma, he is honest, but hes easily manipulated. Low social skills? Villager kids fucking loved him. Though to me he doesnt seem strong in the slightest. He got rekt by pretty much everything he encountered.
Ryan Reyes
>anime >having some deep, meaningful life lesson
Just look at the cute girls, fag.
John Sanders
>He got rekt by pretty much everything he encountered. Yeah, most enemies are 10/10 physical strength while he is just a normal man.
Josiah Scott
Apparently that will change, hopefully soon
Brandon Reed
Honestly the episodes after #15 have been AOTY material.
The episodes have been so great at keeping you on your toes and pretty hype to watch, Shame that the earlier episodes were kinda weak compared but you got to build a story some where.
Aaron Phillips
Maybe it's relative. If the entire show consisted of taking on regular dudes in an alley, he'd have an advantage, but's it's been non-stop superpowered demigods so it might as well be 0.5.
Josiah White
For who?
Adam Davis
>unironically using the word hater
Mason Stewart
YOU TOO?!
Anthony Foster
>He was slothful in the real world, not putting in the time to work out This is the only thing is that post that triggered me. Did you fucking see his traps? Delts? His triceps, biceps and abs? He even said he worked out to "protect his home" so wtf man
Tyler White
Is this some sort of /tg/ thread or is it falseflagging bait?
Tyler Ramirez
Working out is literally the same as grinding in a video game. A neet who only plays video games could easily get into working out, especially if they aren't America-tier fat.. I personally started hitting the gym when I didn't study or go to work.
Parker Green
It's only getting worse, Barusu.
Jaxson Roberts
...Okay? Thanks for the blogpost I guess, my point is Subaru works out so what's OP on about
Easton Ward
>Charisma - 0.5 >Physical Strength - 0.5 >Social Skills - 0.5 i am without a doubt that you haven't even watched the show, he's known to be physically strong and have a grip strength of 70kg, and he seems to get along with everyone that doesn't see him have a massive sperg-out due to his mental instability
to say he has terrible social skills and strength isn't just autistic, but it's flat out wrong. summer really is here.
Juan Williams
/thread
Angel Jones
Nice
Easton Robinson
>not putting in the time to work out
Except thats the only thing he did when he wasn't playing vidya or watching anime. When I was a NEET, I did the same.
Bentley Bailey
I can see why Sup Forums hates it and the show's getting a suspicious amount of popularity on social media (when does anime ever get that?) so I'm wondering what the deal is here.
I personally like it and think White Fox did a great job on the production.
Christopher Roberts
you're right, subaru is very skilled. you can tell he's put in a lot of work. He just has such a way with words, doesn't he? It's not as if his stupidity has caused his death a million times.
Ryder Gray
it has angst AoT, SAO had the same. Put in a stupid teenager yelling and it will sell. That why Eva sold, because he cried instead of yelled, which was revolutionary.
Justin Campbell
>It's not as if his stupidity has caused his death a million times. I don't think there was really much he could do about all the things he didn't know about. This loop was pretty much that.
Jackson Perry
"a stupid teenager yelling"
wow, perfect description. and as pathetic as subaru is, its nowhere near as bad as shinji, I can't even watch NGE
the point of these shows is supposed to be entertainment. who wants to watch some stupid kid that they would avoid in real life. what entertains are extraordinary characters, not bipolar crackheads
Benjamin Long
Subaru's flaws go much deeper than him being a neet and being lazy.
I think his main issue is that hes a total narcissist who thinks far too highly of himself despite being a neet. If only he was a bit more humble maybe he would be able to think things through a bit better before impulsively acting on them.
I mean I guess my point is Ive met a lot of Neets and losers and stuff but I don't think Ive met one that is quite as self worshiping as Subaru.
Jose Green
NGE was easy to watch, Subaru on the other hand is awful. Maybe it's because I watched NGE when I was younger
Grayson Russell
>you're unhappy because you're unskilled at being happy
Oliver Gonzalez
>the point of these shows is supposed to be entertainment
That's the main point for shounenshit, fujoshit and moeshit.
Believe it or not this medium can offer actually good content.
Landon Taylor
>entertainment Yeah, but for teenagers this mirrors their feelings of frustration at not getting laid and being teenagers. It's 'deep' to them, hence why there are tons of threads about it even though everyone is supposed to be at least 18 here. I suppose at the very least mentally they are teenagers? Either way, you're all fags.
Elijah Richardson
Not really into this series but what this about a yandere witch? who's a yandere witch?
Wyatt Hernandez
is it her?
Joseph Barnes
My argument for hating Re:Zero is less about Subaru's character and more about the execution and the implementation of those characteristics and concepts.
This is why the show has bad writing. That and the trope-like and shallow supporting characters in the show.
Kevin Hill
OP is a zero out of ten at bait blogging.
Benjamin Hill
>I don't know what happens in From Zero, the post All that blog when you could've just typed "I'm a secondary."
Eli Price
There's an odd parallel with Hundred - Episode 1 with both MCs holding their bloodstained loves ones
She's Emilia too
It's to b8 for nerds into schizing out in their late 20s i.e now
Tyler Cooper
ESLfag pls go and stay go.
Evan Jenkins
>not putting in the time to work out Yes he did. He even says it and wearing a track suit to make it more obvious.
Lincoln Anderson
I was thinking during the last episode that it's been a long time since I hated a MC as much as I hate Subaru but couldn't think of who. But him being a Shinji suddenly makes everything make sense.
Samuel Ward
>those mittens >that everything else
Ian Barnes
What, you don't like the show being called out for its bullshit? Look where you are
Carson Young
I am amazed that even though the author tries so hard to make Mitsubishi an idiot, there are people who defend him and say he's done nothing wrong and it's the fault of everyone else.
Owen Hall
ESL - English as a Second Language
He is implying that the poster does not know english well, making his post hardly understandable.

Benjamin Carter
Hey guys, so I was browsing through my folders earlier and I found a picture of an unfamiliar girl, I don't know when and why I saved it but here you go.
Nathan Nelson
That's a shitty edit of Ram, i don't know what's the purpose of this image.
Logan Perez
>that little brain-spider thing
Carson Brooks
Why would someone edit Ram with blue hair and bigger boobs?
Justin Ortiz
lol have you just started this anime? it's obviously rem stupid user is stupid
Luis Bennett
Rem? You mean Ram right?
Logan Smith
...
Lucas Barnes
The first 10 seconds of OP2 is pretty cool
Angel Johnson
Subaru is obviously insane and invented an alternate personality where he is an underage maid, creepy
Aaron Barnes
Shame about the other 1:20
Leo Torres
Is Rem someone from LN? As animeonly pleb I have no idea what you are talking about.
Andrew Brooks
>Nobody remembers Rem, they must all be assholes!
How can anyone be this stupid?
Mason Myers
It helps if you understand the shows target audiance, the 12-18 crowd. Just look at the age of the MC and girls if you question this. They are all 13-17. This explains perfectly why the MC takes so long to figure out things that older viewers would consider common sense. This guy has the mental fortitude of your average highschool freshman.
Christopher Murphy
She looks pretty cute user.
Leo Richardson
desu barusu is really slow. half the mysteries here take so long because of his stupidity. thought it might be the pain of death or being revived so many times slowly making him stupid.
Benjamin Peterson
Most people would start using their brains after facing hardships
Benjamin Powell
but imagine all the painful deaths they would start to take a toll on him. with the hard time limit of the current disaster he isn't thinking straight. im sure on the next return he'll get things right. i wish he never developed character and was the same guy from arc 1. he would have cleared this a bit quicker.
