CATDOLL: Netizens are discussing the abilities and personality of the protagonist of "Re:Zero -Starting Life in a Different World"

The new anime "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World" was released in April 2016 and received good reviews from anime fans. The protagonist's ability to replay the game indefinitely also made people sigh and caused a lot of ambiguity. Recently, some Japanese netizens started a discussion about this.

Subaru in Re:Zero is a very annoying character to me, and his IQ is low. But since he always dies so miserably, especially in the last episode, I can't hate him anymore. What about you?

Apart from anything else, many protagonists of novel adaptations now have long hair, which would have been considered a delinquent in the past. But Subaru cut his hair short and kept it neatly trimmed, and that alone was enough to make me like him.

I think this is a character that the audience can relate to, right? Because even though his behavior seems strange, if we were in another world, would we do the same thing? In the end, he is just an ordinary person.

Apart from anything else, if I was pierced through the abdomen, smashed in the head by a steel ball, or cut in half every time, I wouldn't have the confidence to keep going. But Subaru is different. This alone is enough to prove that he has the aura of a protagonist. Of course, I think such a personality would be very successful if it were put into a comedy animation, but it would be difficult to match it with a serious plot...

I think this is a character who is very stubborn. Once he sets his sights on a goal, he will keep working hard. But such a serious person is set as a shut-in who talks nonsense, which makes the character feel a bit split.

Why do some people find him annoying? How touching is it to risk one's life for the girl you like? To be honest, I think it's just his character design that's not good. If he was a handsome guy, I guess there would be fewer haters...
