I dont think anyone would realistically be calm when you know everyone you care about is going to die, your powerless to stop it, and people are refusing to help you. If he just started out being a pro negotiator at this stressful time that would be really out of place, Im pretty sure he will take lessions to heart though. Also I dont really get the fantasty bit. Stories don't have to be wishfulliment if im reading the second paragraph right.

I feel it kinda is a sao show at that point lol. Your going to either love it or hate it more as it goes on

Everyone is condescending to Subaru because he is acting like a child, but they are being realistic, frank and giving him advice yet he continues to be angry at them. Even when he is given what he wanted while fumbling he just gets angry that he was tricked instead of being thankful he was able to help Emilia. Again yes Subaru is in a stressful situation, but the story is making Subaru out to have a horrible personality and happens to be tortured, the torture itself wasn't the cause.

The fantasy bit is just a weird rant. Shounen's are typically about the power of friendship and adventure to overcome obstacles. A godlike main character is a power fantasy. Subaru's is neither with him just going through terrible shit alone even though he has people close to him.

People acting irational and childish when stressed since its pretty realistic from experience at work lol.

Ultimately Its not about his failures and tantrums (as someone as desperate and frustrated as he is its not a surprise that a teenager would react this way). It is more about how he learns and get things done. If the plot goes full asspull then it will suck, but if he learns from this and they present a Subaru who manages to break through by learning from his failures then it speaks more to a kid in an extreme situation cracking a little bit but overcoming it.

Julius is being nice to suburu. It does appear hes not really that bad guy suburu thinks he is

He still acts like an Idiot at times. He went completely insane at Crush's place. Anyways, he will ask Felis in the next episode. Dunno why he didn't do so from the very beginning....

I still think that is easily within the range of emotions for one in his position in that kind of mindset. Desperation and fresh memories of Rem getting slaughtered leading to anger. You don't come off too well when your letting those things boil up and take over.

One thing I will say is this episode the various characters were pointing out where he was being dumb, and they weren't from his rants but rather problems with his real motivations. The same things that Emilia touched on when they argued. They are still there (ofc because its not like you can solve that kind of stuff in that little time). Even the episode title plays into this. I just hope he learned something about himself from the words of those people. Though to be honest in reality its more likely he would fall into the trap of missing the forest for the trees and only remembering his outrage.

Normally I'd want the main char to not be so annoying... but trying to really grasp and empathize with his situation of being a powerless teenager everything seems to fall into place at least. At least he's been given some good advice so it'll be natural when he learns to take said advice to heart. Unless he goes nuts from dying over and over again.

Enjoyed the episode, less bombastic and sensational as the previous one.
I am glad that none of the candidates gave in to his begging and ranting and being pathetic in general. A cold and harsh reality check is what he needs the most right now. Determination and anger alone won't solve anything, let's see if he takes that to heart and learns from his mistakes.

Can she please read the entire letter and actually take it to heart? There was no reason to not read the message inside the rubber asap.

he has only recently started getting negative feedback to some of his bad traits and being in crisis mode isn't the perfect time to self analyze (if he has even picked up on it yet). People don't tend to change until they get this pushback from others. For me its about where they take him, right now its a perfectly reasonable expectation to have him acting this way IE his bad traits really coming to the surface when he is desperate and angry. If the story just goes on and he gets what he wants ez mode and he doesn't learn anything about himself then it would be points against the show. Till then he is fine imo.

no one else hoping Subaru eventually turns into the villain?

at some point, he'll get the power / ability to save the people he cares about, but instead, he chooses to use it against the people that "wronged" him

I'm ok with flawed characters. The problem with Subaru is that he is insanely cocky all the time for no reason. He is basically a nobody, with no skills. He is still never polite, he is always cocky, yells at everyone, makes cynic remarks, holds over-the-top speeches and acts like he is almighty, the only one who can save the day.
Honestly, all the arguments brought up don't work on Subaru. Even if he is thrown into a random world he knows nothing about. A world that is brutal and different. Everyone who is not completely stupid would try to be polite and diplomatic at all times. And also cautious. But no, he is actually so retarded it hurts.
