I really like 3 of those. I haven't seen DanganRonpa. Any good? Have you watched Parasyte the Maxim?

I agree that some things in Re: Zero needs to be explained a bit more but I like some of the mystery. I'm really starting to really dislike Subaru though. He doesn't think things through til it causes a problem and when he does think, it's very limited to the obvious. He doesn't try to really understand the world around him. He still wears that track suit and hasn't bought anything to improve his survivablity or clothes that help would him fit in in that world. I believe that his ability to come back to life is finite. Every time he dies, he comes back with a bit more of that witch's miasma which has created problems for him before. Who knows what will happen if it builds up too much. He doesn't make the most of each life to gather intel or grow stronger (learn more magic). He's been at the mansion twice already and hasn't searched any of the bodies of those cultists for clues or checked their faces for their identities. 

I'm just going to say put yourself in his position. cause if you think after seeing everyone you love dead, that you'll be able to think rationally you're insane. You're missing the entire point if you expect him to act rationally cause he's already broken. Any HUMAN would be. You get transported to an alternate world no clue how you got there and get killed just to repeat it over again. There is only so much you can take until you break which subaru did.  After what happened to Rem he's now pissed beyond reason and only cares about one thing, destryong the witch's cult, in other words he's blinded by hatred and still can't think rationally.  

I was talking about him in the overall sense. He's not a rational person for the most part but he needs to be. Personally, I'm a kind of a cold person and i don't like emotional people (overly emotional to me). From day 1, he's been too busy trying to get into Emilia's good graces and be chubby with her inner circle that he often doesn't think until he dies or made a mistake. It's evident during the "Return to the capital" and "Self-proclaimed knight natsuki" episodes.

I'm not blaming him for snapping after what happened in the newer episodes but alot of the difficulty he faces comes from his own choices during the periods of peace or periods in between deaths. Wearing a tracksuit, knowing he's going to go into a life or death situation is just idiotic. Use a bit of that big bag of coin to buy some equipment instead of hiring a bunch of wagons knowing they'll likely get attacked. 

One of the reasons why I expect him to think more rationally is because he knows he can reset back a few days after he dies, he should have become somewhat desensitized to dying and his friends dying. He knows it's not set in stone. To make the most use of his ability, he needs to think but he doesn't. My guess is that he was selected by whatever brought him there because he's not that bright and he could be manipulated easily.
