No, you noticed sloppy writing fans trying to hide.

Mental problems were virtually no issue until the last episode and Subaru was basically cured his madness faster & easier than I can get through common cold.

His psychical problems lasted for less than a day in one episode and were non-issue for at least five or six episodes. It was plot point for perhaps one episode, then it was gone.

Question is whether Subaru is supposed to be insane or not.

And answer is, yes, he is, he went through a tons of traumatic situations that would with no doubt have much heavier impact on anyone else, if only due to the physical pain, not mention the whole absurdity of situation. Ability to survive it is irrelevant.

But portraying this process (of going insane from unreal experience and pain) convincingly is really difficult. Yes, I can do it too when I simply write character being traumatised in one scene, but then he is fine in another, then you know I did it wrong. Main difference is, I can do this mistake because I don't do writing for living. Author of this show is, just as director and screenwriter etc. They simply forgot that they have insane protagonist when the turned the page, which is rly sloppy.

You just noticed it is wrong. Other people are simply projecting their expectation or simply compare influence from like three different sources to say how brilliant show is. What anime shows is completely different.

Another problem is that Subaru is a plot device. He needs to move the plot. Which means he is as sane as plot requires, randomly switches personalities from totally fearless to absolutely terrified, only to have situation that advances the plot. Being insane enough to not notice Betelgeuse name would create the dead end in the story - hence Subaru needs to be sane enough to progress the plot and then be resolute again. Then author sometimes remembers main character isn't suppose to be Kirito and write some pathetic fear scene to remind everyone how "realistic" show is. Then it forgets about the said fear/madness because Subaru terrified off his mind can't progress the plot and it would mean dead end.
