Crank@ani.socialTo elaborate a bit, this used to be a show about Subaru fighting himself, his insecurities, and imperfections. That was accompanied by some nice psychological horror which led to Subaru changing in significant ways. But ever since S2 ended, it feels like Subaru’s character development stalled, and now he’s this new man who faces external challenges and finds clever ways to overcome them with the power of RBD. It became repetitive.
Also I hate the archbishop they’re fighting in this season. Every time I see them on screen I roll my eyes, because not a single word that falls out of their mouth makes sense. (I’m exaggerating, but I really hate them)
And the questions keep pilling up. We’re getting very few answers but more and more questions, and I’m tired with this.
I know it makes sense how others see him, given that they only see the golden path that makes Subaru look like superhuman, but all that fawning over him from other characters makes for a poor relationship on screen. There’s also no chemistry between him and Emilia, and IMO never was. And generally I never watched this for the characters other than Subaru. They all didn’t appear convincing and authentic to me, but I watched it for the mystery. Now I stopped caring about the mystery too.

FWIW everyone else I know disagrees quite a bit. I personally think it resembles seasons 1 & 2 more than 3, and my friends and family who are watching the show all agree that this is the best season yet.
