Which character had the hardest time loop?
>>139290825
I would say Okabe.15 YEARS
>>139290969
Beta worldline Okabe had a shitty life, but I don't see how it could be worse than Homura's.

How long was Bill Murray in the time loop, I think I remember it was pretty long.
>>139292437
Most estimates put it between 10 and 40 years long. So while his loop was the least tragic, he's probably been in one for the longest.
>>139290825
Wasn't there an updated picture with Touma and other suffering time-loop characters in it?
How many times did okabe loop anyway? is that ever mentioned
>10000 different worlds, all of them happier representations of the world where he doesn't exist
>>139292245
But he was already crazy to begin with.
And he lost his mind pretty fast.
>>139292582
Er..., not really. There were some worlds where he was suffering to mindbreak him, like the world where he was stuck in a coma for the rest of his life, or the one where he was all alone in a spaceship, or the one where he cuts off pieces of his flesh to feed the other shipwrecked people.
>>139292582
Spoon feed me, reverse search gives me nothing
>>139292568
I thought he's only looping for few dozens of time.
Not sure if the loops in chapter 10 counts though.

>>139292672
Crazy or not, that shit sure was hard. He spent 300+ years killing people and sometimes just killed himself because he couldn't stand what he was doing.
>>139293401
I'm pretty sure he stopped thinking at some time. Since, you know, he couldn't even talk by the time he was done.
>>139292582
>10000 different worlds
If only it was just 10,000. It was a minimum of 10,031 loops of every world from Black World - Alpha - Beta - Between the Connected Paths before he reached Othinus and gets killed by her. One of those worlds was him being a vegetable and waiting to die on a hospital bed. Imagine the boredom.
>Just to say those few sentences, he had wandered the pitch black world, traversed seemingly infinite worlds, and experienced countless forms of pain, fear, and despair.
>These were true hells with a density great enough to drive any normal person insane before they could overcome even one. And reaching this point did not release him from it. After saying nothing more than that, he was smashed by Othinus and forced to repeat all of the infinite apocalypses he had finally overcome.
>>139292582
Touma has had a hard life. Homura ain't got shit on what Touma went through.
>>139290825
Midorikawa had a hard life.
>>139292981
Read Higurashi, anon. You'll thank me later
>>139293579
But Homura got permanently scarred for life and became a Demon, TouMAN just went back to business as normal two volumes after that.
>>139293654
Different anon but is it worth to read if you already watched it? I got through the question arcs which were honestly a chore for me so I have little motivation to start the answers since I remember what happens.
>>139293880
The answer is when Higu really shines, so if you already read Questions, then it's definitely worth it. The anime is good, but I'd recommend you to read the novels, those are much better.
Also, be sure to read Umineko afterwards, it's also one hell of a ride, and really <Good>.
>>139293880
You've already watched the whole anime and you've read the question arc? Answer arc is a lot better than question arc but if you're not motivated you could just read Umineko instead
>>139290825
rika was in the time loop over 100 years
>>139293926
Different anon, I dunno, after watching the anime the answers were kind of dumb so I don't feel like reading the novel.
>>139293579
You're forgetting that Homura is biologically and socially a 14-year-old. Reliving the same trauma every 30 days for more than ten years is an affliction I wouldn't have wished on the Kobe Child Murderer.
>>139293979
Anime butchered most of it and transformed the ending into Home Alone
>>139293747
All that shows is the mental strength that Touma has.
Homura went through something much less worse than TouMAN and she broke from it.
>>139294253
>something much less worse
I don't know. He pretty much broke down on the world where his friends were happy without him, and that's basically the loop that Homu was forced into.
Not exactly anime, but relevant to the topic
>>139294253
Any explanation for how he went through that?
>>139294342
Sigma's life sucks because he is forced to force himself suffer for something he's never actually going to see, but he only actually experiences it once
>>139294342
>villain could see though Sigma's plans and made the game based on fucking chance
Holy hell that's just fucking evil, poor Sigma.
>>139294402
Not saying he had it the worst, just throwing it into the discussion.
It's still one hell of a convoluted clusterfuck of out-of-order suffering even if he only has to go through it once.
>>139294560
I think Sigma has it worse than almost all other timeloop stuck faggots because he only gets one chance.
>>139290825
>>139292342
>groundhog day
Well so long as we're including things that aren't anime...
I mean I know the series is overrated but going back in time again and again trying to save your planet and the rest of the universe, then giving up after that realizing the only way to salvage anything is to effectively destroy/exile your planet has got to be tough.
Also the guy from The Butterfly Effect had it kinda though too.
>>139294624
Technically he only goes through it once physically but he still 'remembers' every other possibility his mind has been through before.
And even if he succeeds he still has to play through two fucked up murdergames.
Add another one to the mix guys.
>>139294007
And Touma is only 16 years old who nearly gotten murdered when he was a child. Homura ain't got shit on the level of suffering he went through.
>>139295213
who
>>139294344
Selective amnesia. He basically cut and pasted all the relevant memories he needs to get to Othinus multiple times to finish his fight. I would like to think all those repeated memory wipes he's gotten over the years gave him quasi-control over his memories, similar to how he developed his pre-cog.
>>139295604
>>139295641
If he can wipe out his memories, isn't it like he went through only one loop?
>>139294688
Might as well include Tom Cruise.
this guy.
>>139295788
He dies pretty much every chapter. Waifus too. It is so sad.
>>139295707
Oh hell no. It's there. He just repressed the fuck out of them. One mere mention that he has to fight a full powered Magic God makes it all coming back to him in a huge PTSD attack.

Wait, you're supposed to read Umineko after Higurashi?
B-but I already started Umineko.
>>139292284
Any other answer is invalid.

There is not really any connection between both of them, just some cameos. You are probably okay.
>>139293654
Wait, I thought it was only partially translated?
>>139298011
She was around 81 years old when she escaped the loop.
>>139298223
I haven't read Index, but she it had it the hardest IMO not counting Touma

Umineko is better than Higurashi in my opinion

Is the Steins;Gate VN marginally better than the anime?

It expands on the characters by giving you more scenes/interactions with them. It's great, definitely play it through sometime if you liked it.

>>139299895
He did have to reject a perfect world where everybody was happy in order to return and that want even the end or beginning of it. Before that he suffered world's solely made to make him suffer and after that he had to fight and die 10031 times before he still got killed in the end and only got back due to what more or less amounted to mutual mind break.
I do need to get around to the novel you posted though, I've had it set aside for a while now.

Same Touma. He's get tortured/mind-broken in various ways over a course of 'really fucking long time' in NT. It's kinda surreal.
>>139302449
There's no telling how long he was stuck for, but it was long enough to master the piano, learn about almost every resident in town on a first name basis, and several other things I'm forgetting. And that's not counting all the times he just spent the day fucking around or killing himself. However long it was, it was quite a little while.
>>139302213
There is a clear time loop in his consistency. He's left handed until he stops being, he wanted to reform until he forgot, he learns to do ki attacks until he doesn't anymore, he cares about people who in theory don't see him for years but act as if it had been a couple of months when he goes back. The only way to make Shamo work would had been giving it a final arc in which it's revealed that each arc was a different universe and they all have to fight each other.

Not only that but there's STILL a lot of chances to fuck up even after traveling back through time, and having to live in a timeline where he fucked up. He has to HOPE that another version of himself will be able to live in a better timeline. Sigma's life really sucks .

>>139292515
Nigga, Rika was looping for approximately 100 years. Given that the loops began to gradually get shorter and shorter as Hanyuu's powers weakened, that means in the latter half she wasn't even able to enjoy the happier early years anymore and was basically exclusively looping back to the points where shit started crumbling down. Having to watch Satoko get abused by her uncle for untold numbers of loops is bad enough, then factor in all the other shit she went through to the point where she was completely desensitized to it by the end.

Higurashi
From worst to not so bad:
Rikka > Okabe > Homura > Nagato > Watashi
The pic is seriously missing Archer though, he never even got out of it, just had to accept his fate.
Nagato's was the longest but barely enough for her to even obtain feelings as a robutt. Watashi was basically introspection, not even meant as a "punishment", it just fixed his life.

You know, with all these retarded plot for LN's these days, I am genuinely surprised no one tried making a story about this. A bar at the end of the world/time, giving these tired time-loopers a moment of reprieve before heading back to the grind.
Although, what exactly do you say to them when they get here? Keep it up so you can witness your friend die several hundred more times? Don't give up, you didn't mean to kill your best friend! It's only a flesh wound, you can totally survive a knife stabbed into your head.

She probably ended up getting caught and tortured by Shion a few times. I imagine knowing from experience what happened next was enough to convince her to stab herself to death in that arc.

Well yeah, it's more like it "fixed" his mindset, and as a consequence he didn't ruin his life for himself.
>I became the prime minister
>>139304820
Previously she connected with alternate versions of her in different universes and because they weren't happening at the same time they discovered that they could chose the timeline they wanted based on future experiences as much as altering the past through her other selves. At a point she becomes a magical girl from a universe with magic and pretty much blows a lot of shit up, still fails to save the love interest.
>>139304968
Again, this starts as little more than a 4koma and then gets a bit obsesive with the issue of the love interest seeing people as robots and actually fixing them as such.

And with no way to tell how long he's been walking for before the series started, and no discernible end in sight, with every day growing more difficult and painful.His story becomes all the more depressing when you realize he's been capable of feelings and emotions the whole time, he's just been dragged though the grinder for so long that it doesn't show on the surface anymore. The death of his only friend was the only thing painful enough to shake that residual stoicism accrued from countless millennia of suffering. And then the journey continues, as it always has.

It's revealed three episodes before the end that the three characters with powers switched bodies when they were little. Nothing too hot comes out of it.
To be fair, you can easily worsen a character's suffering by elongating the time loop. It doesn't make it better written though.

Tomitake covered for her and claimed she had stage 5 Hinamizawa syndrome. He took her into a safe custody where she will presumably live peacefully (or actually succumb to Hinamizawa syndrome and claw her throat out, however, the stages of the syndrome are not actually one-way so recovery is possible).

It's a boys sould in a girls body, which would usually be refered to as transman/guy/noy/boi but in this case it's an extremely literal case that gets fixed before it can matter at all. Functionally the story doesn't change if you see him ad a guy.

Neither living nor dead, forced to fight until she can fulfill her wish to redo her selection as King.
Not quite a loop, but it's definitely some sort of hell.
>>139290825
Nagato, because she wasn't allowed to attempt to change anything. Even the most depressing time loops served as a means to work towards something. Nagato didn't even get to fuck around, just thousands upon thousands of repetitions of the same fucking thing with a different festival mask.
Okabe and Homura didn't even need to be in one. They could have chosen to let go at any point and went on with their lives. Nagato had to rely on a bunch of incompetent kids to get her out of it.
>>139290825
I like the idea that in between each reset jump, all the characters return to a sort of purgatory like in your pic and interact with each other.

Time loops aren't for suffering. They are an opportunity to fuck up the guy who started it in the first place.

>>139303866
What about relative suffering though? Okabe was just a university student fucking around with inventions. He was still in his chuuni phase. He would have been perfectly content with just living the rest of his life screwing around and hanging out with Daru and Mayuri.
But then he undergoes enough shit to get him #2 on the list. There's no way his mind isn't absolutely shattered.

I know the bar in Death Parade was specifically some kind of purgatory/afterlife judgment arena, but I'm now imagining one of the areas we didn't see in the series (run by someone who's not Decim or Ginji) has become a hangout for time loopers. It probably started as a sort of 'reboot' zone for the loopers who do actually die between loops, but over time word got out to others in similar predicaments and just became a sort of general hangout/chill zone where they can go to drown their sorrows.

Fucking Girls Go Around.
>>139309875
I'm sure a lot of time loop protagonists would be glad to kill themselves, but they can't. Okabe tried to kill himself out of desperation in hopes *something* would change, but the universe has determined the day he dies, making him functionally immortal until that day comes.
>>139297762
This.
>>139307922
>They could have chosen to let go at any point and went on with their lives
That's wrong. Convergence ensured no matter what Okabe did, Suzuha would always go back in time, starting the cycle all over again. I'm not entirely sure about Homura, but it seemed like she wasn't in direct control of the time loop and everything restarted automatically every time she failed.
>>139297762
>kinda interesting in Muvluv but abhore the art style
What's his story?
>>139309875
Not to mention Childhood Friend is doing her own larger loop, so all of MC's work with the other girls, all of MC's loops, and MC's death gets restarted every 3 years. And she doesn't solve it either.

kinda interesting to see what happens in the newest chapters now that he survived past that point.
>>139290825
Saike's loops would be pretty bad, except he's apparently completely nuts to begin with, and subjects himself to this on purpose.
>>139310417
What's wrong with the art style? It's pretty standart anime stuff, not really distinctive in any way.
>>139310386
I'm pretty sure there was an Okabe from the future who made plans and shit for the present one, so there is at least the possibility of him living out the rest of his life without Tutturu or Kurisu. Homura clearly activates hers on her own every time except the first.
What's more, they're both directly responsible for their time loops, to the point of asking for them directly. Nagato just woke up and found herself in one because some god bitch wasn't having enough fun and the entire thing was completely pointless.

Maybe abhore is a bit dramatic, I just don't like it at all.
>>139311772
If Okabe just gave up on Mayuri and stayed on the Alpha Attractor Field, they would be abducted by SERN, Kurisu would be separated from him and forced to work on the time machine, and he would die in 2025. Him giving up on Kurisu is what Zero is all about, and that leads to is more suffering. In both Attractor Fields Suzuha goes back from 2036 and causes the whole thing to restart again, so in both cases him giving up would do nothing but extend the time loop.
>>139312306
>and he would die in 2025
And apparently it wasn't a very pretty death either
