oooh, new Steins;Gate thread

get in here science bros.

>>54365655
I propose a livestreaming of this series after its end. All bros gather themselves at the unison of 'El Psy Congroo'

Modified? that's the VN's OP

>>54366258
he's talking about the OP showing the second part of 'Hacking to the Gate'. According to its lyrics, it fits better the current situation in the series. The VN's OP is used for the ED sequence in this chap, but you already know that.

Why can't it be next Tuesday already.

>Metal upa causes WW3

Moe will be the death of us all.

>>54366305
Haven't watched the episode yet but...the VN's OP is the ED? Fuckin' love Sky Clad Observer.

>>54366527
I'd got the chills in that escene

>**mad scientist laugh**
I'm glad you liked it but cut that shit out.

I've watched this episode twice already. It's just so good. Cemented Steins;Gate as my favourite anime of the year so far. Over Madoka, Usagi Drop and Penguindrum, though I loved all of those. This year hasn't been so bad really.

>>54366527
OPEN THE EYES

>>54366589
well wait for the next fucked up season.
almost nothing to watch there

>>54366589
Nah, this episode wasn't really that good to compare with previous episodes this one episode was kinda boring and uninteresting.

>>54366338
but that will mean the end to steins;gate, i dont think im prepared for the eternal depression once its gone.......Tuesdays will not be the same, but i will drink Dr. Pepper every Tuesday in remembrance. El Psy Congroo

Whoa, i really like this episode, even though you fuckers have spoiled the ending for me already

I'm here just to say that this episode was fucking awesome.

>>54366715
I've already warned my housemates that I won't be myself after next Tuesday. I'm going to have such a bad case of post-anime depression. We'll all have to watch something like Hidamari Sketch together next week to cheer up.

I haven't read the manga yet either - I'm just waiting until I have that insatiable need for more.

So this week, I had class shortly after the horriblesubs release time. I downloaded it, went to class, drink of intellectuals in my hand

At class, there were three other people sharing in the intellectual experience as well as one who was wearing a lab coat.

It may have been coincidence. But I choose to think it wasn't

Is my guess correct, that "Dr.Nakabachi" stole it after hearing about its value?
He probably followed Okabe around after getting taken apart by him.

HOLY SHITBALLS!

>mfw Okabe was behind the staircase in the beginning! I figured that he had talked to Kurisu via time travel before he met her for the first time since she mentioned "You had something you wanted to talk about 15 minutes ago (paraphrased)" in episode 1, but this shit still fucked my mind with an umbrella.

>>54366825
Did you happen to be in a theoretical physics lecture?

>>54366699
nice double dubs, but, THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?

>>54366763
opinion validated

Fuck I'm going to be depressed next week, least I'll have the OSTs to look forward to, anyone got links?

>>54366901

I was in a power systems lecture. Did you have a similar experience? Considering not going next tuesday, not sure if my body can take even two hours of waiting.

The OP is one of the very very few OPs I actually enjoy. I listen to it every single time. And the modified OP this week made me nearly piss myself with excitement.

Just putting that out there.

OH MY GOD this episode bro. DEM EMOTIONS BE DEEP.

Haven't been obsessed about an anime in a long fucking time. I've been lurking /a/ for a while now, but nothing really caught my attention. I mostly read manga, but for some reason I felt like watching an anime, which I hadn't done in about 4 years, and last Tuesday Steins;Gate caught my eye. Watched up to 22 by Thursday.

This episode blew my fucking mind. I haven't been this pumped watching a cartoon since I was a kid. Dat MADO SCIENTIST. Dat METARUUPA. THAT FUCKING LAUGHTER.

Thank you for recommending this to me, /a/. Next Tuesday will be a day to remember.

>>54367223
Manly tears will be shed bro. I shed a manly tear at this episode. Just 'cause I...I loved it so much.

>>54367353
>Manly tears
But that's wrong.

>>54367366
This was hilarious. Metal Gear Solid John Titor left speechless.

Made his laugh, I swear.

>>54367372
Fine then, blubbering bitch tears.

>>54367385
I swear I saw her blink before I realized it's a JPEG
AM I HALLUCINATING?

So am I getting this right, the whole series taking place in the alpha world line was basically a setup so the past Okabe would develop an attachment to Kurisu so he'll save her so that WW3 can be averted?

For everyone who is just now listening to Sky Clad Observer for the first time:

I give you this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZfeYcqO66M

What the shit... you faggots told me Dr. Pepper would take a bit of getting used to. So I went on and tracked down a place that sells it even in my shithole of a country, and it's delicious as fuck.

Picture related, though excuse the shitty phone quality. It's the best I could do. In any case, got the last bottle they had. And since they don't seem to bring anything bigger than that, I'll have to settle with cans for a while.

>>54368682
bottled dr.pepper honestly tastes like shit

only drink it from a can or fountain

>>54368678
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iVkTECSbqI

>>54368682
>>54368726
Seriously, bottled is only good if you literally keep it out of the sun as much as possible so grab it from the back of the fridges in stores if you can and if you drink it pretty much right away. It can't last long after being opened.

Cans are definitely preferable.

>>54368682
I haven't had Dr pepper in a bottle for, I don't know, longer than i can remember. I've been drinking from cans right from the fridge and it's absolutely delicious and feels nice when relaxing. Seriously, for me it's like an addiction and it really feels amazing with that crisp taste as it pours out of the can with that first couple sips.

It really doesn't mean anything.

>**mad scientist laugh**
What do I even come here anymore.

>>54368623

NOPE. I can understand the confusion though. Imagine the whole series without the WWIII and episode 23. That's what happened originally, and Okabe spent the next fifteen years researching Time Machines to figure out how to change shit (avert WWIII and Kurisu's death). He then figured it out but made sure to tell past Okabe not to change anything because that would negate the events of the past 22 episodes.

>>54368878
Why* even.
But that error expresses how brainfucked I am after reading that shit.

>>54368898
So the Okabe we are viewing in the anime is the "second gen" Okabe?

>DAT FUCKIN MAD SCIENTIST SWAG

>>54368898
Right, this makes much more sense.
Jesus christ time travelling stories are always fucking with my mind (nightmare mode: Primer).

>>54368726
>>54368772
>>54368814

Noted, noted and noted. Good thing too since I found a store with a pretty good supply of cans. Welp, at least as >>54368772 mentioned, I got the bottle from the shop fridge and kept it cold until SCIENCE came out.

Oh and one more thing then. This other shop I mentioned doesn't keep it's cans cool. Does it still work if I cool the cans myself after I buy them?

>>54368946
Let me try to explain.
Alpha World line->Okabe sends the first D-mail, Kurisu is saved, World diverts to beta, Okarin spends next 20 episodes getting out of beta->Alpha World is now returned to its original state.
In alpha, Okabe spends the next 15 years developing a fully functioning time machine to save Kurisu.
>Uses it, goes back once to save her, she ends up dying by his hands
This time, Future Okabe sends himself the video we just saw.
Present Okabe must now save Kurisu without letting his past self realize the change, otherwise everything in Alpha and Beta post-Kurisu's death is invalidated, and they start from square 1.

/a/ I work out and havent drunken regular soda in 3 years or diet soda in 1 year as it is not good for you.

But dammit next tuesday Im buying myself a bottle of Dr. Pepper and drink it as I watch this show end

>>54368726
wat
dublin dr pepper in a glass bottle > plastic bottle > old recipe in a can > regular dr pepper in a can > watered down fountain shit

Only exception is the fountain dr pepper they have in United super markets, that shit is right behind dublin in a glass bottle. so delicious.

>modified
I thought it was just the VN OP

>>54369168
They played that too, but HACKING TO ZA GATE was a lttle different.

>>54369056
If you buy the packs of cans in the thin cardboard or whatever, I put a few in the fridge and leave the rest in the box, in my garage. Then on Tuesday I download the episode and when it's finished I grab a can and enjoy.

>>54369099

You can stay in great physical condition and drink soda in moderation.

I know I do.

>>54369197
OIC

I fucking came when the VN's OP kicked in, I did NOT expect that shit

also posting this, as it is my custom, and everyone should hear it
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc05pzuA9KQ

Anybody know what happened to the translation site for the VN? I keep getting "cannot find server".

>everyone's loving Dr. Pepper AFTER watching the series

What am I now? A hipster for calling you all faggots for not liking it in the first place?

Nobody (normalfags) likes Dr. Pepper because they say it tastes like medicine. So I'm like, fuck 'em. It's been my favorite soft drink for as long as I had my first taste (although coke vanilla used to be IT back when it was still around).

>>54369244
http://vn.shourai.net/

looks up to me

First few Episode: HELL YEAH SCIENCE, MAD SCIENTISTS!

Last few episodes: Oh man, looks like the world broke Okabe.

Episode 23: SCIENCE VS THE WORLD. FUCK YEAH OKAE.

>>54368878
>>54368917

>>54369262
I think a lot of people just didn't try it before this series started.

I only tried it once, was delish, but the next day, every single shop in my area stopped selling it
I shit you not, it's like they noticed I liked it and went "fuck that guy"

Anyone have any ide where I can buyfag the PC VN and ship to the UK?
amazon.co.jp won't ship.... Unlike for blu-ray

Wait, Skyclad Observer in this episode?

MY BODY IS UNREADY BUT VERY WILLING.

>>54369262
I've always liked soda like Coca Cola and Dr Pepper, but I've always liked water more. S;G just made me want to drink Dr Pepper more and now It's my favorite since I ended up drinking it every week.
Oh and Cola sucks, it's more like medicine than Dr pepper

>>54368814
I was like this with Dr.Pepper BEFORE S;G. S;G just made it worse.

What are your guys thoughts on this? Pic related.
I just finished another fucking 2 liter, shits addicting.

>>54369056
I don't know about where you live but most markets don't sell cold soda in the first place here. The cans are fine as long as you put them in the fridge later as that's what they are made for.

Usually I have like 3 of the 12 packs piled up in another room and then one in the fridge - you just put a new one in once that ones out. But they won't get enough in like an hour so just put it in once you get them.

sodas;gate

>>54369270
Thanks, looks like its back up.

>in after THE ORGANIZATION

>>54369096
>This time, Future Okabe sends himself the video we just saw.
I'm guessing that his second attempt to save Kurisu. But why bother with the middleman? Why not just have future Okabe fake Kurisu's death instead of the "current" one?

>>54369262
coke vanilla still exist where i live.
But only available at restaurants

>implying the ending of the last episode won't be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZejw5PWxTo
There's even time to mix it with the last lines of the episode.

>>54369262
For some strange reason no matter where I have moved to the people I make friends with also end up liking Dr. Pepper.

>>54369348
>retarded less-calorie shit

Just don't drink soda if you care about that, it doesn't taste the same enough to bother.

>>54369262
I started drinking Dr.Pepper when I started watching S;G
I started drinking Pepsi after Tiger & Bunny.

I've got my Dr. Peppah!

>>54369220

Not wrapped in anything bro. Here there are only two stores and a gas station that have them. So there's nothing more than a few cans on the shelf. In any case, thanks for the tip. Pity I didn't bother to look for these while the show was only a few episodes in. Welp, guess I'll have my fix for the last episode at least.

>>54369262
I loved Dr.Pepper since I was like 8 (hurr no wonder I'm fat, no, I just mean it was my favorite soda even back then). Actually, it's all I'm willing to drink soda-wise unless a restaurant only has coke or pibb, in which case I deal with that. Otherwise I've only drank DP since as long as I can remember - though I drink more milk and water than it.

so this basically started because mayrui wanted a meta upa

>>54369456
Pretty much

>watch the episode
>aww shit man
>get to the end
>grinning like a motherfucker

I'm going to miss this series

>>54369407
Pepsi comes into second place in my palette.

>>54369262
I've always gone in cycles. Like a few weeks drinking one kind of soda before going back to another kind. RC, Pepsi, Coke, Dr Pepper, Mr. Pibb when it was still around, Mountain Dew, etc. Works good enough for me.

>>54369402
OH, I love regular Dr.Pepper, but I eat healthy (money isn't permitting me to do that so much right now) so a 10 calorie Dr.Pepper is 60 calories per bottle as opposed to what, 720 for regular?

I'll take that in a heartbeat.

>>54369419
Da fuck. Is that shane?

>>54369456
i warned everyone about metal upa, but nobody listened

godamnit whitefox
Why don't you make more anime ?
why.

Yea, sure, bitch. Let that useless and harmless man protect a girl from unknown attacker while you, a trained soldier and your gun chillin' on rooftop. Bitch.

I know it's already planned by Suzu and future Okarin but stiil.

>Send a D-Mail to 5pb. and Nitro+
>Steins;Gate, make it longer
>"lol okay"

>Back to present day
>VN is extensively longer, there are 10+ more possible endings and there are significantly more routes you can take
>Anime is a couple episodes longer, doesn't stray from true content but it adds more kickass SCIENCE

Too bad this will never happen.... Or..... wait a second.... this already happened. Technically the anime was supposed to end at episode 22 until we sent the D-Mail

>>54369493
You know this man? I've been trying to get in touch with him

>>54369566
I would say that I was surprised that he didn't question that but Okabe must be mindfuckedx300

>>54369519
They'd better get the same team and make them adapt another god-tier VN.

I've had enough of DEENshit.

>>54369566
Suzuha is not a soldier in that timeline and probably was raised to do things like her father.

>>54369353
Noted, thanks for the tip.

Also the reason why some are refrigerated and some not, is because one of the two stores that sells it here is from a bigger chain of small stores, something like a small supermarket. And since it doesn't really have the space for isles, all the drinks are put in the drinks refrigerator. While on the other hand, the other one is a bigger store with a whole isle for drinks, and only the popular sodas like cola and shit get chilled in the fridge.

>>54369608
He looks like that faggot with the youtube channel. Didn't think he watched S;G

>>54369566
Past Okabe goes to the roof and Suzu has to do an X with her arms to keep him from coming closer. If Okabe had done vise versa, it would have made a so called "paradox", as she stated when they stepped out of the time machine, even though I thought John Titor was the one that said it wouldn't happen, but it was critical for past Okabe to experience Kurisu dying. Also, Okabe knows exactly where everything happens and his way around, AND suzu has that gear and would seem suspicious.

>>54369658
They should just adapt Subarashiki Hibi so /a/ can go full WHAT for another 6 months.

>>54369669
>not a soldier
>body armor
>silenced pistol, clearly trained in using arms

Why was she calling Okabe "uncle"?
He's not her uncle... is he?

Clannad: You play all routes to access an extra route where you save the ones you love. This is also adapted in anime version. /a/ hates it and calls it an asspull.
Steins;Gate: You play all routes to access an extra route where you need to stop WWIII and save the one you love. Also adapted in anime version. TOTALLY NOT ASSPULL, MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Now, I enjoy both of these enormously, but SUDDENLY WWIII is an asspull of the worst degree, it's almost on level of FMA anime.

>>54369790
Well since Daru is her father I think she's calling him uncle since Okabe's friends with him.

>>54369644
Yea maybe Okabe just too tense that time and didn't realized that.

>>54369669
>>54369742
At least she can give a gun or some weapon to Okabe. I know it won't change anything (Kurisu still dies) but it will be nicer, I guess.

>>54369790
He's her father's best friend.
Not to mention oji-san=/=uncle.

i warned you about those meta upas bro

i told you

>>54369822
Ah
Still weird, man.

>>54369829
They needed him to fail a first time, if he had a gun then the plan wouldn't work out, or it probably wouldn't have worked anyways due to the attractor divergence.

>>54369790
I'm pretty sure she's just calling him uncle in the 'like family' sense. By pretty sure I mean 100% sure. He probably has taken care of her and been around her since she was born seeing as how close he and daru are.

>>54369819
Steins;Gate features John Titor as a goddamn character and you expect it to NOT involve World War III?

Love Steins;Gate.


Hate Dr. Pepper.


It can happen.

>>54369832
oji-san does actually mean uncle
ojii-san means grandpa

They are very alike but oji-san still does mean uncle.

>>54369819
>SUDDENLY WWIII is an asspull of the worst degree
What was the real John Titor posting about?

That's right.

>>54369920
Most of the viewers didn't even know John Titor was a real thing, earlier threads you could see plenty of people asking about him or freaking out saying HOLY SHIT JOHN TITOR WAS REAL and stupid shit like that.

It can't be helped.

>>54369848
>>54369790
Maybe because this Suzuha never got close with Okabe, unlike in Alpha world line, so she doesn't know him well. That's why she called him uncle (remember he's MUCH MUCH older than Suzuha in her original time, but in Alpha worldline when Suzu went back they're around the same age)

>>54369398
I guess every VNfag had predicted ending theme for last episode long time ago. Anyway, Another Heaven is awesome, can't wait to watch ep 24.

>>54369894
Agreed.

>>54369982

Explaining in a clear way and making sure to repeat the point so that it's even more clear? Yeah, thank you for complimenting me on doing a better job explaining something than most people bother.

What was different about the OP?

>>54370038
Yeah sorry, I misread it as "but oji-san still doesN'T mean uncle"
My bad

IO9 CANT FUCKING STAND IT THIS SHOW IS SO FUCKI8NG GOOD!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST GODDAMN FUCKING SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE OTKLDSFGNJKLJADSWEIKFFKLSMLD;'FMN KL;A I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW

>>54370070
Except it does.

>>54370072
Dude

>>54370125
He's saying he misread me as saying it doesn't when I actually said it does.

>>54369419
Holy shit, Austin TX around UT? The buildings, and the orange UT street signs certainly point towards Austin. A Google search yielded "Columbine St" in Pflugerville.

> You probably didn't even take the picture though :(

>>54369920
>>54369894
Call me an idiot if you will, but I've only vaguely heard the name in real life before the show, and the show itself has made no effort in trying to give anything but the name.

Anyways, latest episode was great. Asspull or not, it was very well executed.

>>54370129
I just watched the latest fucking episode and screamed at the top of my lungs.
Last night I re-watched the previous episode and re-screamed at the top of my lungs during the credits.
I have such a raging fucking fanboner right now I don't even know wtf to do with myself.
Also - going to college for physics as a direct result of this show, shits already in place.

>>54370072
Please refrain from doing that kind of shit.

>>54369819
Maybe because it features time travel and basic explanation instead of "MAGIC, no need to explain shit"?

>>54369658
>god-tier VN
>mfw Saya no Uta is greenlit for an anime good adaptation

>>54370167
I'd also heard a bit about John Titor before, even looked him up and soaked some info, but I looked shit up again when I saw him mentioned in this show.
Now who he is\was\will be has stuck for good

>>54370157
Ah, it appears my reading has failed me. "Columbia," not "Columbine."

The long jacket the person is wearing behind the maddo scientist points away from Austin.

NEVERMIND

>mfw Galactic Pretty Boy was playing in my head during Ginga's speech at the end of this episode.

>>54370118
fffffffffffffff

has this been decoded?
http://jtk93.x29.jp/

>>54370223
>mfw Saya no Uta is greenlit for an anime good adaptation
You're gonna have to provide some goddamn sauce on that, and if what you say is true, I will fucking hug whoever made the decision to death

>>54370167
The show didn't say much because it's a pretty famous name and hoax, it's also one of the top unsolved mysteries out there if I remember correctly they still don't know who was behind the postings.. It's been proven he was entirely a hoax but I'm pretty sure they never found who it was.

Point being they just figure you know, because well you should have at least heard of him a bit before given there are still TV specials, books, and so on coming out about him. Plus you should have been born before it happened.

>>54370265
what the fuck is that
care to explain?

>>54370201
They explained, thoroughly in the VN, using kerr black holes.
