An over the top character in itself is not necessarily bad, but this one just goes too far. You know, like there's nothing wrong with using sugar with your tea, but if the proportions go so far you're adding tea to sugar rather than other way around... well, something's wonky.

I wonder if this is explained in the novel at all: How the fuck does Subaru have any right to include mining rights in his negotiations? Or negotiate anything official, for that matter? He might have a close relationship with Emilia, but that gives him exactly zero actual authority, and I don't believe there's anyone of importance who does not know that. He might be treated with a degree of respect as a courtesy to Emilia and her promotor, but that does not extent to official clout.
Eh, let alone actually honouring the deal, the negotiations should never have begun because Subaru has no authority to conduct them - that's my gripe. It wasn't some sort of "you help me I pay you" agreement(which he COULD try and work out), he negotiated an official alliance between two political factions and used economic concessions as a card. He has no right to propose an alliance OR manage any economic matters, and his negotiation partners damn well know that since it's no secret he's a nobody whose only position is "least likely to win candidate's friend".
I know I'm nitpicking, but plot holes like that really annoy the fuck out of me.

And he fucking rejected her for some sort of delusional, one-sided infatuation. Ugh.
Sangatsu no Lion 05 - This episode was amazing. SHAFT's touch really shined here, and the OST is pretty damn great.
Magical girls EP-6 --- so brutal
Jezz..thats totaly dangan ronpa.
And that pokemon (squisy) - evil bear (colors) mix totaly makes it, like Junko Enoshima made the magical girls in another dimension.
Don't sweat the details!!!
Rem loving Subaru is completely understandable. She always lived as a failure, a mere shadow of her amazing sister that could do literally everything better than her. Nobody ever cared about Rem, she was always just there while her sister always had the spotlight. Subaru proved her that a worthless powerless shithead can get shit done if he tries hard enough, that even a mere human without any meaningful talent can still be relevant and make a change. He's her savior in a way or another.
Dropped Re:Zero at episode 13. Darn, even SAO was more interesting than this.
Robotic;Notes
Darn, this is good. Haven't enjoyed an anime like this in quite a while. I've been binge watching for a couple days, on episode 11. Hopefully this doesn't turn suddenly grim like Steins;Gate did...
I am enjoying it for the same reasons as Steins;Gate: it's an anime you can turn on and recline in your lazy-boy sofa and enjoy a straightforward story about a few nerdy friends who try to accomplish a semi-plausible tech project and whether or not our hero will achieve his/her wish. In this case; Akhiro's wish for approval from her sister, and Subaru's desire to pursue his own dream in spite of what his father demands him to be. Plus, the story beats are juxtaposed with genuinely hillarious moments that tie into character development (the lone, serious cynic turning out to be a total ham who secretly wants to be a friendly optimist). This is compelling character drama, interwoven with an intriguing mystery that keeps you coming back to see where it goes next. Furthermore, I feel like I really know these characters, almost to the extent that I knew the S;G group. Plus, Knowing that they are involved in a deadly conspiracy keeps me coming back to see if they will make it out alive or not. The lack of time travel to reset any deaths, along with the fact that the writer has proven he's willing to permanently kill off the characters I am attached to, gives the series a strong sense of peril whenever the plot comes up. I want to come back so I can root for them!
It's a rough Saturday over here, so I feel I need to remind everyone of @Epuration god tier taste.
