Yeah and this is the 23rd thread about it.

It isn't funnier than Nichijou, its animation is worse than iDOLM@STER/Pendrum and its story is worse than Madoka. Go and drink your Dr. Pepper with your friends.

Steins; Gate: show of the year easily.

Another good show with an insufferable fanbase. Like almost every show these days.

>>54653013
Anything is funnier than NIchijou and Madoka's story is awful.

>>54653013
Madoka and mawaru are shit, so just get the fuck out.
>>54653038
Not at all. I fucking loved it.

Maybe in some weird nonstandard calendar in which the year starts in May.

>opinion thread
no, go ahead and do your show proud, S;Gfans.

>>54653058
Most of these "fans" are just reverse trolls. I'm pretty sure that they realized that spamming "Steins;Gay" everywhere isn't enough so they're taking a few pointers from gorespammer.

>"Show of the year"
>The year isn't over yet

>"[Opinions are facts]"
>The fans talk about appreciating science

>>54652956
OP here. I'm not trolling.

I FUCKING LOVE Nichijou, I have 12 episodes in my PSP and I follow the show every sunday, I really really love it. But it is not the show of the year.

Madoka. Well, being a fan of SHAFT, I think Madoka it's god tier easily, but Steins;Gate was much more enjoyable and smart because it was longer.. it made me cry, laugh, feel anger, joy... Madoka didn't.
Madoka is ALMOST the best show of the year, but I think nothing will surpass Steins;Gate.

Cannot wait for the VN.

Hey OP you hear about the movie?

Y NO GAME TRANSLATION YET ?

Stop, don't be a faggot

>>54653498
Patience. It's well on its way.

As much as I liked Steins;Gate we still have Fall season left.

Stop it OP. You're making me want to troll Steins;Gate, and I fucking love Steins;Gate.

Ok thanks !

I want answers. I just watched the demo of S;G 8-Bit and... where the FUCK is Kurisu?

This anime had little to know character development, I like Cased Closed better.

>>54654703
It's just the demo, the entire cast should be returning in full.

>>54654875
I swear to god, if there's no interaction with her, i'll rage. I need to see the VN ending, the anime one left me a lilttle bitter seeing it lacked sufficient emotion for my taste.

This is what it breaks down to

People who enjoyed Madoka more:
-Immature
-Enjoyed pretty / shiny things
-Moe-fiend
-Potential NEET--if not already--personality

People who enjoyed S;G
-Enjoys science for science
-Generally better taste in anime
-Likely college students with mature persona
-Can enjoy a good show without considering it's worth by popular opinion

>>54654861

Next time, either watch the actual show, or study the pro trolls first. 0/10.

The only problem I had with this series was the ending. I wanted it to make me cry, I really did. But, alas, I did not cry. I didn't even shed a single fucking tear. I was celebrating the good end, but I wanted to feel sad at least once.
I think the reason for this was that the ending was way too similar to The Butterfly Effect's ending. The MC is walking around the city, passes the girl, and the story ends.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the ending. I just wanted to cry ;_;

>>54655183
Seriously, that guy is annoying ha. So dumb, I hope he is trolling. Ha, Right guys!?

>>54655253

You wanted to cry because a lot of endings in this day of age are written to FORCE you to cry. S;G didn't fall into that cliche, and for that you should express great happiness. They did the ending perfectly, without having to shove it down our throats.

>>54655253
As much as I'd love to see Okabe be happy, I think it would've been better had the anime just ended on episode 22, with 23 and 24 being OVAs.

>>54655113
I enjoyed S;G and I enjoyed Madoka more.

>>54655378
Yeah? Well I think you should be entitled to your own opinion.

>>54655378
I enjoyed both too, but Madoka seemed too short. A lot of people say that Madoka was the perfect length at 12 episodes, but I would have liked to see more of Homura failing in other worldlines, so that I could get more of a feel for how depressed she was getting. Only seeing 3 or so worldlines was a disappointment.

Steins;Gate would've been 10/10 if either:

>It ended at episode 22

or

>Okabe died after the stabbing

As much as I love happy endings, I almost feel like nothing has changed from the beginning of episode 1 to the finale. Even Okabe didn't progress much as a character.

Someone should've fucking died, and stayed dead.

>>54655424
I think your opinions are objectively incorrect and you should be lynched

>>54655565
They said the original episode 10 was a lot longer and they had to trim it down. What a shame.

>>54655580
Future Okabe died shortly after he sent the D-mail to our Okabe.
Since Okabe had to keep the past the same to ensure that Future Okabe did his thing, he also made it so Future Okabe still dies in his worldline.

I LOVED Steins;Gate, but I have one question: Shouldn't have the Attractor Field killed Kurisu regardless? The same way it killed Mayuri, shouldn't her father have killed Kurisu regardless of Okabe's taunts? They die at the same time every time, so I don't see how she avoided death.

>>54655639
...Okay.

I don't see how that matters. At all.

>>54655639
Forgot my pic.
NEVER FORGET.

>This is the best show of the year.
>September

>>54655580

Uh. Dead people aren't actually an effective substitute for character growth.

>>54655695
You said you wanted someone to die in the end. Someone did die.

>>54655639
And nobody gave a fuck because the Okabe we care about is still alive.

>>54655639
World lines don't work like that in Steins;Gate.

Only the current one exists.

>>54655755
That is the Okabe we care about, minus the last episode.

>>54655639
He didn't die, all the timelines merged and Future Okabe ceased to exist. His consciousness and knowledge was already known to Okabe, hence why he could see the video message after figuring everything out about why Kurisu died.

>>54655803
Where does it actually explain that? Or do you just believe everything that Reading Steiner says? If only the current one exists then Future Okabe shouldn't have been able to send the D-mail from his worldline, which was different than the one our Okabe was in.

>>54655745
Yes, but I'm saying I would rather have character development OR someone staying dead.

Someone staying dead at least affects the audience.

Guys
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-09-13/steins-gate-gets-film-green-lit

I put off watching SG until the hype grew too big to ignore, marathoned all 22 episodes, and fell in love with it.

By comparison, these last two episodes were... kinda underwhelming.

>>54655911
Mayuri never got the metaru uupa.

>>54655876
Worldlines are not parallel universes, there is only one "world" and different worldlines represent different paths that the world can follow. The reason future Okabe was able to send the video (and have it not be static like in episode 1) was because Okabe was finally on the line where he went back in time to save Kurisu, but failed once. However, the worldline doesn't actually change until Okabe goes back and actually does what he needs to and then leaves via time travel. Basically, it wasn't a sure thing he would succeed. (I think that's all of it, I might be forgetting a thing here or there, been a while since I read it).

Not sure how much of that was explained in the anime, didn't watch the last few episodes of it really.

>>54655876
> If only the current one exists then Future Okabe shouldn't have been able to send the D-mail from his worldline, which was different than the one our Okabe was in.

Ah... no. It's the exact same timeline. That's why Future Okabe said it was important for Okabe to fail saving Kurisu the first time. That's precisely why Okabe was able to see the D-Mail after he failed.

>>54656067
Then why would our Okabe say goodluck to Past Okabe?
Besides that, I get it now. My mistake.
>>54656071
My mistake.

If I were ever given the option of being able to stop myself from having ever bothered to pick up Steins;Gate in the first place, I would most definitely take it.

The show was tiresome and often painful to watch.

The characters were terrible and bland, the MC in particular was an annoying cunt, the plot and setting was often unbelievable and forced, the pacing was poor, the art and soundtrack were decent at best...

The story as a whole was meaningless, and really, the show was really just a chore to watch.

In fact, really, the only reason I actually managed, forced myself, to finish this show was to tell it's incredibly incredibly annoying fanbase, all of whom should be shot in my personal opinion, that their show was shit.

But even the momentary pleasure derived from pissing those bastards off, probably won't be able to make the ugly feeling of 'why on earth did i watch this shitty anime' go away..

but then again, it's not like it was trying to be something great in the first place..

>>54655977
I did that too, except I got caught up right before Rukako.

I felt the ending was satisfying. No fantasmic, super exciting conclusion, but it did what I wanted it to.

>>54655981
Okabe should have it.

He better give her the fucking uupa in the movie.

>>54656208
>Watching an anime you hate because of the fanbase
I don't care if you're serious or not, you're an idiot.

23 was my favorite episode of the series. Fuck the people saying it should have ended at 22.

>>54656273
>Not recognizing pasta
He never mentioned anything in particular to the show, hell replace steins;gate with 'x anime' and you can post it in a different thread.'
At lest throw around some names, shit man that's lazy trolling

>>54656290
22 would've made sense even though I would've hated Kurisu dying. Honestly, it probably would've made for a slightly more meaningful ending, but I'm not complaining about the Kurisu End.

Think about this, guys. In a few years (if not within the year) newfags won't know about Steins;Gate.

What's so forced and unbelievable about Akihabara?

>>54656866
>I almost took you seriously.
No, no, that's wrong. Learn from my example: make fun of their mistakes, then actually address their point. You're just arguing about semantics otherwise.

And that's no excuse. You don't say, "sigh" to other people. Also, I'm sure you've been on /a/ typing up a storm; your verbal skills should be top notch, albeit littered with, "fag," and, "nigger."

We need to stop this argument. It isn't even about the fanbase anymore. I'll own up to being the fag. Here's a wallpaper for the trouble.

Steins;Gate shits all over Madoka. This show would have been a lot more popular if the MC was a kawaii girl.

I liked Steins;gate for it's great story and characters, but the presentation (visuals and music) was probably the dullest presentation I've ever seen.

>>54652956
Putting on my trip for the first time in months to agree with you.

The fans? Complete shit. But the show? All things considered, the best show of the year.

Madokafags will rage and deny, but no - no matter how much I like Shaft, Madoka is not the best show of the year by far. It rests too much on plagiarism to be considered as such. Not that I didn't enjoy it. I liked it a lot. But I can see its flaws because I'm not blinded by fanboyism.

Penguindrum has been very good so far, but the... sheer excitement provided by each episode has been way bigger in S;G.

The show I've enjoyed the most this year is Cardfight!! Vanguard, but we all know why it can't be the best show this season.

Nichijou? Please, if it was a good adaptation it wouldn't be boring. Mitsudomoe, Sofuteni, Dororon Enma-kun and Azazel-san were millions of times funnier.

Level E was pretty damn good, but it falls short on the story and overall enjoyment of S;G.

Fractale... is great competition, but there was something with its execution that can't compete with S;G.

Hourou Musuko and AnoHana... shit, OK, I have nothing. Hourou Musuko, AnoHana and S;G might me tied on the best show of the year position. But S;G is the most normalfag friendly one, which is always a good thing.

Tiger and Bunny is pretty damn enjoyable. But not as fulfilling as S;G.

C had a great story and great characters, but the execution was poor as fuck.

Dantalian is good, but not good enough. im@s is very enjoyable, but not fulfilling enough. I like Kamisama no Memochou, but the execution issues can be seen from miles away.

I am not a S;G fanboy. I didn't buy Dr. Pepper to watch the finale, and I know of a gas station close home that sells Dr. Pepper. I'm not a faggot who uses avatars portraying a midget. But I can see that, for its execution and story, S;G is the best show of the year so far.

>>54657296
I thought Madoka was the show of the year, but this brings it down to about a 5. This was absolute perfection.

>>54657343
> presentation (visuals and music) was probably the dullest presentation I've ever seen.
You have shit tastes then, but it's your opinion and you have the right to believe what you wish Even if it's wrong you faggot.

It was good, not great. The fanbase - and this time I'm serious, no troll - is the god awful most annoying piece of summer faggotry to shit up /a/ in a long long time.

>>54657403
Okay, NOW I'm jelly

>>54657425
I'd agree with you if it wasn't for the madoka fanboys.

God dammit, the madoka fanboys.

Okabe was really annoying for me because he had all the Large Ham of a Mad Scientist, he

just doesn't have the mad genius to back it up.

He literally can't think up of plans on the fly, nor shrewd enough to to utilize the

technology well. He would be fucking LOST without the supporting character to tell him what

to do.
Almost every decision he make was suggested by other people.

As for his Laugh, it really sounds fucking forced, like he's trying to huck up a luggie and

laugh at the same time.

In other words he the prime example of a HIPSTER POSER.

thankfully his future self was a much better person than him.

In fact I think its intentional that that Okabe made like this to demonstrate how he can't live up to his image unless he had the Drive and motivation through blood and tears.

>>54657480
>As for his Laugh, it really sounds fucking forced
It was forced.

>>54657480
yeah, but that was the idea.

He was a delusional tween trapped in a delusion very similar to his own becoming real.

>>54657480
The entire Mad Scientist routine was just a facade for Mayuri's entertainment, and later his own weaknesses and insecurities.

Well, i hadn't watched S;G yet.
And i think that i will like it.

But still, if
>trying to be objective
>madoka
Can you remember any show that had such response?

In terms of fan made content. And not some years after, but in the middle of series?

And DISCUSSION. Endless, infinite discussion.

>People who enjoyed S;G

>Likely college students with mature persona
>Can enjoy a good show without considering it's worth by popular opinion

OK S;G is good, but how about:

- woolen and papercraft Charlotte
- mature colledge students deciphering runes
- mature colledge students solving math shown in school episodes
- snowkyubeys and snowmami
- mature colledge students fucking making MAGICAL GIRL POPULATION DYNAMICS MODELS! WITH FORMULAS AND SHIT!

>>54657455

Steins;Gate is basically a sci-fi harem that heavily involves Groundhog Day-esque time repetition. It's pretty interesting because of the whole struggle against fate and conspiracy.

>>54657847
>responding to obvious trolls

Steins;gate is good, I peg it as split second place for VN adaptions (with Clannad, after Amagami SS)

>>54657480

That would imply he did anything at all. It was all Christina, and then at the end of the day, his retardation was still the cause of pretty much all the problems.

Few characters have pissed me off more than that faggot. As most otaku self-inserts at least acknowledge their place.

>>54657735
>It's pretty interesting because of the whole struggle against fate and conspiracy.

None of that was focused on in the show. The little that was, was forced. The selling point of the show was to self-insert into that pathetic faggot, in that context, nothing more, nothing less.

Now, that's not really a bad thing, but you're only fooling yourself if you actually consider those things to have played a significant role in what the show actually was.

>>54656346
>>54656842

Also, that wasn't pasta.

>>54658003
Metaru uupa set off the metal detectors and stopped him from getting on the plane which is where the papers burned

>>54658003
Because the Metal Upa was in the folder, it got detected during the standard security scans and he ended up taking the folder with him into the plane cabin, instead of leaving it in his bag. Since it wasn't in the bag, it wasn't destroyed by the fire in the cargo space of the plane.

>mfw /a/ is already starting to turn on Stein;Gate, like they do every time a popular show ends

>>54657804
And? It still feels silly to congratulate unoriginality.

I couldn't take the character Kurisu Makise seriously, because her personality is constantly being shafted to make room for a cliched Tsundere personality.
Whenever she's acting on that, almost every word she speaks was a cliche.
In other words she almost felt less real than the other characters.

I really would have preferred if they actually work on her personality more, instead of making me face-palm every time she go in that mode.

Sure is BIASED in here.

>>54658046
Ooh, right. Now I remember, thanks.

>>54658051

>>54658051

>>54658051
Because the response from the fans in their own threads has been awful

>>54658063
You know the character is in trouble, if Daru identified her as a tsundere.

This ending seemed way too happy for nitroplus/5pb true end... Everything worked out way too well, with the only set back being the blood. I was really expecting some thought provoking or bittersweet true ending to this. Don't get me wrong, I thought the end was alright, it just kinda feels wrong coming from who it was coming from.

>>54658051

I might not agree with them, but if you are being obnoxious, people are gonna get vocal about it.

In the eyes of you faggots, every fanbase is shit.

Never change, /a/.

I enjoyed Steins;Gate, I enjoyed Madoka, I am enjoying iM@S, Nichijou, Penguindrum, and many other shows.

So just enjoy bashing each other for your differences in preference, cause god forbid we enjoy what we love.

/a/nonymous is just buttmad right now, pay them no mind.

>>54658180
Only the S;G fanbase really is extraordinarily shitty and annoying. dealwithit

>>54658379
>Everything is shit to somebody.
Anyone who finds living to be shit is already dead, so no one finds living to be shit

>>54658454
Do you even anime?

>>54658477
It's naruto level herpderp with many S;G fanboys, or at least it's been today. A bunch of little Pork Rangers

>>54658379
>Your rebuttal there is the biggest heap of shit I have read on /a/ in ages
doubtful, assuming you took part in S;G and madoka general threads.

My point is: Do you hate narutards? You should.
Why do you hate them? Because of their behaviour, correct? Because they act like annoying kids. Nothing wrong with acting like a kid, but why be annoying?

Same with the S;G following and the madoka following. As well as the keion following, the second Strike Witches following, the raildex following and a fuckton of etceteras. They behave like narutards. The only difference is that they use labcoats instead of headbands, and the fact that they use "El Psy Congroo" or "suffering" (and specially "haters gonna hate", "u mad", "u jelly" and the load of summer 2010 memes) instead of "believe it".

>>54658600
I know right, I've been here all summer too.

Yeah, cause nobody has ever committed suicide.

amirite?

>>54658454
It truly is annoying how they stay within the bounds of their own threads. Note the plural, inferring that there may be multiple ones at once. S;G at least isn't autistic accelerator spammer retarder or narutard level.

>>54658606
As far as I remember, they consisted of people discussing the show, speculating what turns the plot may take, and as for the labcoat stuff, well we better not enjoy anything TOO much. And they are NOWHERE near the level of Narutards. Nothing else is that bad. And just out of curiosity, what anime do you even like?

>>54658606

I like steins gate, but I hate those people.

Steins;Gate is great, it really is, but the fanbase is terrible. Nothing personal but every thread I've been in has been nothing but >SCIENCE! , lab coats, and idiots unable to understand in the fucking show.

Steins;gate is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and GRIMDARK. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The neet characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the akiba otakuness, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole timetravel faggotry and everything about the Steins;gate world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on Okabes harem, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mayurisueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Steins;gate is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Steins;gate threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

>>54658606
You have no fucking idea how hard that post hit me. I'm stuck with a lab coat, and people who expect me to wear it. What the fuck am I going to do now?
Well /a/, start helping me think of a suicide note. Make it /a/ related.

>>54658905
pasta

>>54658905
I laff'd. Good effort.

>>54658905

This copypasta is so fucking old. It's not even funny or rage-worthy anymore. It's just sad. InB4 "doing it ironically"

Maybe this Steins;Gate backlash will settle down these Gaia-tier faggots. The anime is good, heck I bet the VN is even better, but the fanbase is absolutely horrendous.

>Come into S;G thread expecting S;G discussion
>Get people bitching about fanbases
Ya I totally see why fanbases are the problem...

>>54658977

Exactly. These "lol, the fanbase is shit" faggots don't realize that they're as much a part of the problem as the fanbase itself. It's almost funny.

And suddenly, upon hearing it again, it sounded like the truth

Yup. The threads just get inevitably corrupted. They're like magical girls turning into witches.

>>54658804
>As far as I remember, they consisted of people discussing the show, speculating what turns the plot may take
Maybe the first couple of weeks. But not from the moment people started taking S;G trips on.

>and as for the labcoat stuff, well we better not enjoy anything TOO much.
Agree. I mean, come on, how much avatarfagging?! With a midget version of Kurisu. I mean, god dammit.

>And they are NOWHERE near the level of Narutards.
Labcoat wearing, Dr. Pepper (instead of pocky) consuming, avatarfagging, whining kids who don't get what they're talking about (from entropy to dilatation instead of japanese mythology).

>Nothing else is that bad.
They're the same. You're just deluded.

>And just out of curiosity, what anime do you even like?
see >>54657356
I enjoyed S;G a lot. Together with AnoHana and Hourou Musuko, I consider it the best show of the year. I followed 25 shows last season, out of which I enjoyed at least 20. I'm following at least 15 shows this season, out of which I'm enjoying all.

I like anime a lot. I just don't like your fandom, nor most other current fandoms in /a/.

Let it go, let this thread die if you hated it so much

>>54658916
We meet again, regret-kun.

So people are angry because other people are enjoying Steins;Gate?

nothing subjective about it, steins;gate is the best anime of the year

I don't see any fall anime being better than it

>>54659391

Basically, yeah.

Unusual social development becomes apparent early in childhood. Autistic Fags;Gayte fags show less attention to social stimuli, smile and look at others less often, and respond less to their own name. Autistic baby S;Gfags differ more strikingly from social norms; for example, they have less eye contact and turn taking, and are more likely to communicate by manipulating another person's hand. Three- to five-year-old autistic Fags;Gayte are less likely to exhibit social understanding, approach others spontaneously, imitate and respond to emotions, communicate nonverbally, and take turns with others. However, they do form attachments to their primary caregivers. Most autistic S;G fags display moderately less attachment security than non-autistic children, although this difference disappears in children with higher mental development or less severe ASD. Older S;G fags and adults with ASD perform worse on tests of face and emotion recognition.
S;G fags with high-functioning autism suffer from more intense and frequent loneliness compared to non-autistic peers, despite the common belief that children with autism prefer to be alone. Making and maintaining friendships often proves to be difficult for those with autism. For them, the quality of friendships, not the number of friends, predicts how lonely they feel. Functional friendships, such as those resulting in invitations to parties, may affect the quality of life more deeply.

You know, like every other thread on /a/.

I want to buy a metal oopa now

>>54659127
Ugh. I see your point now in all honesty. I was in the wrong. However, I was a tad confused, I thought you were bashing S;G in general because of its fanbase. My own fault though cause I didn't read more into the thread, I just skimmed. I am by no means a fanboy. I did not buy Dr. Pepper, I have no lab coats, I never shouted LOLSCIENCE El Psy Congroo etc, but I still don't see it being as bad as Naruto. Sure people drank the Dr Pepper, but that is more powerlevel friendly at least. I think the real reason for naruto being so bad is the massive amounts of people who are downright autistic and fucked up that are absolutely obsessed.

But I digress. Sorry for being such an asswipe, just was kinda ticked when I got into thinking about how much /a/ complains about everything.

>>54658606
no, I hate narutards because they choose a shitty anime to act like retards over

why do you guys like this show so much? i've seen four episodes and so far it is the most boring, amateurish sci-fi drivel i've ever seen

>>54659525
Sure.

Do read the fucking thread before whining next time, though.

>>54659535
>my children cartoon is better than your children cartoon
OK, you don't act like a narutard then. You act like a bleachfag.

Steins;Gate threads became unbearable as soon as summer season started. I guess it got too popular.

>>54659644
When the summer season started, more shit started happening in the show.

>>54659499
It's funny how it didn't really get this much hate until the last few episodes. It feels like it's become the Bakemonogatari of 2011.

Shitposting and reverse shitposting all over the place.

>>54659596
it picks up exponentially from the middle up.

>>54659623
>Don't feed the trolls general.
On a more serious note to anyone still in this thread.
If you're making a post, have the common decency to at least look through the first few pages of /a/ to make sure nobody else has one up. Especially if it's only general discussion. This is basic stuff. Learn it.

>>54659685
but bakemonogatari was good

So, anyone here listen to the Gamma Worldline Drama CD?
Any plans to buy merch?

bake hate was just a byproduct of gorespammah faggotry

>>54659596
I couldn't even find enough interest to manage that far.

the first two episodes feel as though they could have been fit into one. Each episode has only one scene that is even slightly compelling. It sucks. Does it get weeaboo-cred because it's baed off a VN or something? Jesus Christ /a/.

>>54659790
Dislike for bakemonogatari was a product of it being just being a tarted up, obnoxiously directed, otaku-pandering harem show.

>>54659790
i would never had discovered that show and how much i love it if not for gorespammer, i figured a show that's worth that kind of attention must be amazing

>>54659834
The beginning is slow, but remember it's a time travel anime it doesn't pick up right away, I'd say give it another shot watch a few more episodes. I don't remember when it picks up though.
Also, atleast give an anime 3 episodes before judging it although I guess time travel ones should get a little bit more...Oh well.

>>54659755
So was S;G in my opinion. it was a fun little show, and it helped me make it through summer: (Sciency Discussion, even pseudoscience is like newfag repellent like you wouldn't believe.)
It had its flaws and missteps, and it failed to keep the pressure on after most of its OH SHIT moments, and god were those dating arcs nigh unbearable. S;G told its story, told it well and introduced some of the best characters in this anime season, or any but that's just my opinion.

>>54659679
True, and ever since that point it's popularity exponentially increased and more people picked up the show, meaning the faggots who never intended on watching it in the first place, but only watched it to see what the ruckus was all about. Since that point, threads became filled with faggots who either liked the show or faggots who didn't like the show and wanted to troll it.

I honestly don'y remember those shitty tripfags showing up avatar fagging before summer season and I also don't remember people trolling it either. Oh well, what can you do, this always happens to anything that becomes popular and reach the faggotry masses.

>>54659834
>Explains everything concisely
>Doesn't throw you off the boat into an ocean of drama
>Doesn't expect you to stay afloat after being instantly thrown off

It's called character progression you goddamn faggot.

>>54659834
>Dropping a show after 2 episodes.
>Dropping a SF show because the elements are unrealistic.
It's a principal called internal consistency, and to their credit, S;G played by their own rules. I found that impressive, especially when western SF 'masterpieces' like BSG can't keep their mythology straight between two episodes in a single season.

>>54659074
I already tried to have discussion but you faggots don't seem to want to so fuck it. Thread's derailed and fucked already so who gives a shit?

>>54660105
My point was that bitching about it did nothing but make the problem worse.

>>54660105
>Helps derail a thread.
>"It's already derailed."
You are shit. You want discussion? DISCUSS. Don't feed trolls, and don't complain about shitposting, you just restart the cycle.

To keep this post on rails: Who's planning on DLing and playing the VN once it's out?

>just being a tarted up, obnoxiously directed, otaku-pandering harem show.
Funny how it feels like this applies so much more to Steins;gate than Bakemono. Everything in S;G is aimed at Otaku pandering and from the Dr. Pepper El Psy Congroo bullshit it looks like a success. By conventional /a/ knowledge then Steins;gate is killing anime.

>>54660224
>To keep this post on rails: Who's planning on DLing and playing the VN once it's out?
I do, I can't wait.
What route are you going to do first?

>>54660084
>not dropping bad shows after two episodes
I don't force myself to watch crap anime because I'm neither a masochist nor do I have limitless time to watch anime.

>>54659982
It was dull. An anime with better screenwriting or storyboarding or characters that didn' come offas such otak subculture cliches wouldn't have been such a complete chore to watch. Honestly, it really was not impresive at all.

>>54660293
>Routes
I was pretty sure S;G didn't have conventional routes, but you still could get "ends" by choosing to remain in a specific worldline. Don't quote me on that though.

>>54658063
This annoyed me too, but fortunately she was a really great and endearing character whenever she wasn't trying to go back on whatever affection she had shown to Okabe a second earlier.

>>54660323
That's what I meant, I'm just so used to saying routes. I was going to fix it but I figured it didn't matter, damn it anon.

>>54660265
It applies to both actually. They're both otaku-panering trash where the main appeal for the otaku audience is watching the otaku self-insert character bask in the adoration of multiple beautiful females under some flimsy supernatural/time travelling pretext.

>>54660318
It's a VN adaptation though. By nature, the first hour of reading is slow and tedious, and nothing really happens. The first two episodes set the scene, but they're not a good indication of what you should expect from the series.

>>54660084
>It's a principal called internal consistency, and to their credit, S;G played by their own rules.

They most certainly didnt. World line convergence and Attractor fields are huge asspulls. When the plot needs something to happen: presto attractor field. It follows no other rule than need for McGuffins.

>>54660388
Well at least bakemono had an interesting visual style. Steins;gate really is Powerpoint the talking heads anime.

>>54660418
Nope.

>>54660389
>By nature, the first hour of reading is slow and tedious, and nothing really happens.
Wow, no wonder only obsessive otaku and hikkikomori play VN. They sound like lazily written crap.

Steins;Gate is honestly THE most fun ive had following a show weekly.

>>54660479
Do you read often? The begging of most forms of writing whether it be a VN or a novel etc are slower and set the stage for the rest of the story

>>54660479
So I take it you want action and crazy shit happening right off the bat rather than proper buildup? Maybe you should go back to reading your Shounen crap.

>>54660549
He doesn't even need to read - even TV shows and shit are the same way. It's a basic rule of writing to do introductions and setting and all that early on to get it out of the way, even if it does make the start a bit slow.

>>54660473
Yep.

>>54660549
That's rubbish. It's hardly a requirement for the first hour of any kind of fiction to be arduous and unenjoyable. Get some standards, read/watch better fiction.

>>54660418
>Asspulls
They laid the groundwork for those pretty early. Most of it came up around the time of episode 12-14, when they were trying to sort out the Mayuri dying problem.
>Worldline Convergence was an asspull.
They had the divergence meter from the very first episode, and the idea of "parallel worlds" as time travel has been around as long as the genre itself.

>>54660575
If you aren't pulled in by a show from it's introduction they've done something wrong. Or you're a person with terrible fucking taste.

>>54652956
agreed

>>54660594
Well nothing really happens the first ten episodes or so. Sure some characters are introduced, they play around with the microwave, but it's slower than Clannad even which had finished the retard ghost arc by ep 7

>>54660637
>first hour
Depends on how many characters, how much of the setting they're making up and how fast you read. For me it's normally about 20-ish minutes average.

>>54652956

>>54660652
Any show/work of fiction needs a hook, but as long as you want to bring fifth grade english into this. . .
>Rising Action

>>54660637
Are you implying that the first few, almost a mix between Slice of Life and Sci-Fi, episodes are unenjoyable?

I don't see how any one has a problem with any of the characters here. The only real characters that weren't three-dimensional were probably Daru, Feyris and Ruko. But, they didn't see much play time either.

The characters really bounce off each other and you learn a lot about them through that.

>>54660718
I don't know why you'd repeat what I've said and change the wording but all rightey.

>>54660700
>Nothing happens for ten episodes.

Guess you missed all that story progression for 10 fucking episodes where something important happens at least once an episode.

>>54660652
>Implying Anime has fantastic writing
>Implying any anime has a good first episode.

>>54660842
Dem generalizations and false statements.

>>54660700
>nothing really happens

You're getting into "I didn't actually watch this show" territory. Or, at best, "i watched steins;gate for the action and I didn't get enough so it's shit" area, which is a retarded argument basically saying "The show wasn't what I expected so I hate it and it makes it objectively bad!".

Don't watch a show that isn't what you want to watch, which if you really thought those episodes were boring shit where nothing happened then you really should have been watching an entirely different series.

Don't blame a show for your incorrect assumptions on the type of series it's supposed to be. That's like going into Aria with the mindset that it's a violent horror series and saying it's a completely shitty show because it wasn't.

>>54660778
>>54660718
If crazy time travel hijinks didn't pull you in by the first three episodes, that's just your opinion, and it can't be helped.
Changing the tack of the argument somewhat, I'll admit you weren't alone in finding the first episodes boring: a good number of /a/nons didn't even pick the show up until MOEKA LIED TUTURUU DIED.

>>54660652
Except with this one, you can be pulled in if you don't have ADHD. With Steins;Gate we got to know the characters, their personality, establishing the relationships etc. All the while under rug, slowly developing the plot. If you weren't interested in that, then maybe you have terrible fucking taste.

>>54660640
The way attractor fields and world line convergence is used are huge asspulls. Some events are necessary and they are always the McGuffins the writers want to advance the plot. Mayuri must die, Kurisu must die.

Everything else can happen in any way imaginable, but this is actually a downgrade from the clichéd timetravel of old. In standard timetravel writing its clear that changing any small detail may have big consequences in the future. But in Steins;gate only peoples deaths seem to influence the future. Sometimes. At other times text messages do. The only difference being what the writers need for the plot...

Guess it's time to wait for the movie.

>>54660840
Like what?

>>54660947
>>54660949
Realize I was hooked from the first episode of S;G mostly because I'm a sucker for SCIENCE. Not sure why you guy are responding to me when I never implied I disliked S;G initially.

>>54660742
Yes, infact I'm emphatically stating that they were not enjoyable. They were the opposite of enjoyabl they're were boring. They felt padded out and unweildy. The episodes had no slickness or easy flow, they just plodded on scene by uncompelling scene. The few scenes that did provide some intruigue lasted all of a minute and there was only one of them per episode. It seriously needed better scripting, screenwriting, storyboarding or directing. Even just trimming out crap scenes like hyouin and retard girl visiting the temple to talk to trap fag and drink dr. pepper would have been an improvement.

>>54660871
Most anime can't into a first episode successfully. 30 minutes isn't as much time as you think it is, and it is a rare show that manages to introduce its characters, and concept while not being dry and boring for most of the duration.

As an example, Gurren Lagaan, /a/'s poster child for ADHD action didn't even introduce the title mech until episode 3.

>>54660947
If they weren't interested in the first few episodes, they have a shit opinion. I bet the faggots who came in after episode 12 were probably pissing their pants waiting to get there completely disregarding everything before hand.

mfw this ending

>>54660969
>Standard time travel

You're just Steins;Gate by a single world-line standpoint where affect anything has the potential to change a bunch of shit.

Steins;Gate was a multiple world line show. So, each world line is independent of each other and won't affect each other.
