Like Smudy said, If you want flawless characters, watch SAO and Aldnoah.Zero
jakobpablo said:Ill start off with the fact that I dont hate the show I even enjoy it when it gets good and my issues with it come from pacing and some of its characters that being said. Subaru is the cringiest, most annoying MC ive seen in a while everyone talks about how hes good since he has flaws but his flaws are being an annoying towel rag and being so weak that he gets constantly tortured.
1- His torture isn't that bad, yeah he gets constantly murdered and mutilated but this is easily forgotten about since he is technically Immortal. If I could come back to life after dying I would live life with zero consequences
2- "Subaru isn't OP because he dies alot" Thats nice and all that he gets constantly mutilated but Subaru if you get down to it is extremely OP. The man can literally gets sent back in time every time he dies. Subaru can fix any situation he gets himself into just by dying and all he needs to do to test if the power is still working is try to trigger the witch restraining him animation.
3- Subaru's obsession with Emilia is literally stalker-ish and very weird. Lets open a random blog and see what they have to say about stalkers and how it relates to stalkers
a- Stalkers are very intense about their "relationship"
Subaru is extremely intense about him and Emilia threatining random strangers like Julius for touching Emilia. He puts Emelia above everything thing even AND EVEN STALKS HER TO THE CEREMONY so he can "protect her" even though shes way stronger
b- Obtaining Details before they are provided
I dont think this one is that bad but Suby still does it he snoops around the castle asking Puck, the twins, Betty for info about Emilia.
c- They ask you extremely specific questions about photos or messages you post online.
So there isnt social media but doesnt Subaru go out of his way to figure who every male that talks to Emilia is. So I already used my example with Julius but I feel like its a worthy example too revisit (because up to that point the only person hes seen with Emilia that is male in a calm environment is Roswall and lets be honest would anyone be intimidated by that goth-clown). either way he flips out when Julius kisses Emilia's hand even though its a formality he wants her all to himself to the point where he obsesses over Julius and insults him in public which leads to their Duel.
d- They stop by unannounced, and they often do it when you already told them you had plans.
Even though Emilia asked him not too follow her to the castle he does it anyway rather stalkerishh.... eyy Suby? And some may say He just wanted to protect her but protect her from what??? Danger or Handsome men like Julius??
e- When angered, they touch or grab you in an aggressive manner, or they stand near you but give you the creepy feeling that you couldn’t get away if you tried.
He doesn't hit or grab Emelia but he certainly does get angry when EMILIA GOT MAD AT HIM FOR STALKING HER TO THE CEREMONY. Why would he get mad if it was clearly his fault? plus once she throws her sweater at him he picks it up and sniffs it, kind of an excagreated stalker trait.
4- Hes annoying as hell - This one is just personal opinion but the way they try to make him this upbeat as hell guy who exaggerates all of his movements and actions i dont like it at all it isn't funny to me and just overall annoying.
In conclusion I dont hate this anime if anything I do enjoy watching it but Subaru is too me a shitty MC
