Why are stories about time travel always the most depressing?
Obviously because time doesn't give a shit about some humans.
because its about getting a do over. And there are no do overs.
>>139522757Time Squad
Bacon good for your heart? Ain't shit depressing about that.
>>139522757
Since mastery over time would in theory make someone extraordinarily powerful, there needs to be a sense of fatalism to establish dramatic tension. A pushback by time itself to fight against that sense of power.
It goes back to the ancient greek ideas of hubris; anyone gaining power to rival the gods must be brought low by fate.
Recently, the trend has been to loop through time over and over in order to prevent some tragedy. The sense of helplessness in the face of death is one of the most enduring human themes.
>Steins Gate
>episode 22
>"maybe I should have accepted reality instead of trying to play god, time travel has only brought pain, time to move on with my life and grow up"
>episode 23-24
>"you can reach the ideal reality with this time machine and get a happy ending!"
It was heartwarming, but talk about throwing your themes in the trash. What gives?
>>139523799
Stein's Gate is feelgood entry level shit that can't deal with mature themes.
The best end would be realizing you can't fuck around with time, letting your friend die and then fucking the trap.

I wonder why Okabe's sense of self has held on better than Rika and Homura, when Okabe knew that he's the origin of this hell of his own making whereas Rika and Homura weren't. No groundhog day protagonist is like Okabe in the sense that they didn't know of the very means to get into their predicament, except Okabe.
Hell, not even Nagato Yuki had the actual 'means' to be stuck in the endless recursion of time despite her knowing full know how it was done.
>>139522757
I wish I could turn back time
>>139524017
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Because time travel really would fucking suck. It sounds cool to go back to some great time in history, but even if they spoke your language, it would be an older form and you wouldn't understand shit. Seriously, just look at some english writing from the 1600's and compare it to now. It's like a foreign language. And you wouldn't have any of the technology that makes your life easier today. And you'd be shitting in pits. And dying much younger.
In the future, you'd just be homeless, probably suffer bad culture shock depending on how far forward you go, and you'd probably get hit by a sci-fi car. This is why time travel is one thing I never fantasize about.
>>139524246
What if I just want to fuck around in the 20th century?
>>139523873
Does hating something popular make you feel special? S;G was great. Not groundbreaking, but absolutely not feelgood entry level shit. And you need to be a raging egotistical weaboo faggot to actually use "entry level" to judge a show. Having a broader appeal is not a negative factor, it's a positive one.
Go back to K-On.
>>139523930
Okabe went through living hell, but not for nearly as long. He probably experienced, subjectively, less than a year of time looping. Those others examples have been leaping a hell of a lot longer.
For what it's worth, he pretty much loses himself in the Suzuha ending of the VN.
>>139523799
That was never the primary theme of S;G. Despite everything that happens on the Alpha Attractor Field, Okabe still says that the Time Leap Machine was a life saver and he would have never been able to save Mayuri without it. The primary theme in both the original and Zero are that memories are precious, and destroying them brings greater suffering to the person who remembers than to the ones who forget.
>>139524296

I was just going to go back and steal a bunch of famous songs before they were written.
>>139523799
I looked back at my notes and, yes, they say "the show should have stopped at episode 22."
So I concur.
>>139524337
The amount of time that he looped for didn't matter. By the end of Chapter 10 he was already completely desensitized to Mayuri's death to the point that more loops wouldn't have affected him. The only reason he stopped looping was because Kurisu came and talked to him.
>>139524388
Don't be such a faggot. Whether it has broad appeal or not says nothing about the series. If that were the case, people would consider Chaos;Head anything other than dogshit.

Because in reality being able to go back in time and fix any mistake you've ever made would be fucking amazing so twisting that into something awful is the most logical thing to do.
Basically what this guy says: >>139522813
>>139523799
The theme wasn't "accept reality", it was more pushing forward the idea that changing reality isn't a free good end; it means shitting on all the experiences you're replacing. Hence, the general theme, fuck time travel. Episodes 23-24 weren't breaking any themes.
>>139522757
I wish we had an anime about a group of friends dicking around with a time machine and nothing big, epic, or sad happened
>>139524773
No, I just don't trust the intelligence of the average poster.

Well, I was being facetious, so you caught me.
>>139524899
I can't think of a single example, anime or otherwise. Maybe that one episode of Stargate SG1?
>>139522757
Because everyone who explores the idea of time travel does so for a reason. You think that people who want to repeat the past in some way do so because they're content with their current situation?

kind of agree
>Go back to K-On.
Eat shit nigger.
>>139524637
>By that point Okabe just sort of accepted Mayuri's death, so instead it was time to take the life of the only person that Okabe was able to rely on and was always there for him throughout it all, just after he admitted the feelings that he had developed for her and she reciprocated. Oh, and of course, it was by his action rather than inaction that she died so it's all on him, no room for rationalising it away.
Why are writers so cruel?
>>139523930
As he says himself, he had anchors in Kurisu and Mayuri. Kurisu was always there to help him, always present with her brilliant theories and motivation.

>>139525229
Rika's own hubris in not relying on the intelligence of her dear friends really proved to hamper her. This I wouldn't hold against Homu per se, given how much suspicion the Megucas have of one another and how unbelievable the truth to the matter is.
>>139524337
>>139524637
>>139525225
I think this is where I absolutely despite Homura. She tried to rationalize her own little safety blanket of a world for Madoka's sake by the end of Rebellion, instead of realizing the full weight of her responsibility to the entire feedback loop that eventually led to Madoka turning into a concept of hope in the first place.
Even Nagato, who essentially went insane, still realizes what she was going to do and she placed her trust into Kyon, just as Kyon had in her in sorting out how should things go forward instead of just leaving things in some madeup lala fantasy land. Rika in Higurashi also eventually wised up and relied on her friends to stop Takano instead of just drinking herself to oblivion.

The SERN break-in was awful in the VN. The poorly animated sprites completely undid the seriousness of the situation
>>139526938
Could've been worse.
>>139526981
Is this a delusion from 0? Phenogram? No spoilers please.
>>139526938
Also, the whole Okabe×Kurisu thing in episode 22 was much, MUCH better and more impactful than it was in the VN.
>>139527006
Phenogram, the Kyouma route.
>>139526938
The wimpy gunshot sound effect they used didn't help either
>>139522757
Actual time travel being possible would potentially be a crisis of universe ending proportions, so heroic writers are doing their best to dissuade people of the idea.
>>139526031
That pic reminds me, new Reading Steiner video.
The (admittedly pointless) movie gave me a taste of Kurisu suffering, and now I want more
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rMGD9QcWBsg
>>139527105
It was a wimpy gun, what do you expect?
>>139527011
The anime did it very well but I'm still going to have to disagree.
>>139527197
But she suffered from the start. It's bad enough with parents handicapping you.
>>139522757
because it's logically impossible as time is merely a human construct so the writers let their sulking leak through
>>139527197
This just destroyed me now.
Anyway, just give an award to Imai Asami! Nao!
>>139524899
Doreamon.
>>139527011
Ehhh, I'm not so sure. Why did you it more?
I thought Kurisu getting seriously pissed off with Okabe for worrying about her over Mayuri made her seem a little more human and less perfect girlfriend. The kiss scene also seemed more passionate to me, probably because of those lewd kissing sound effects.
>>139524899
Peabody and Sherman. It sounds dumb, and it turns out to be dumb. Go and watch your shitty slice of life.
>>139527433
Those sound effects were pretty fucking lewdand adorable.
>>139522757
Sometimes I just can't take it seriously when they use an absurd number for how many times a character went through something. It's just impossible to imagine what they went through.
>I want a kajillion bajillion dollars
>>139527197
Oh. Oh man. I wasn't expecting that.I want more too.
>>139527539
That's somewhere that I think S;G does pretty well, it keeps the scale of how many times things happened to something that still holds meaning.
>>139527433
The whole episode was directed amazingly well, the kiss scene (in my opinion) was much better and I found those presented human emotions more colorful in the anime than it was in the VN.
>>139527539
I tend to agree. I just don't think a human would be mentally capable of going through a time loop for tens or hundreds of years without becoming a vegetable unable to think.
I remember seeing a clip where Kurisu went full yandere and scooped out Okabe's brains.
Which part of what game is that?
>>139527751
Sure as shit not in the VN. Might be a fandisk or something, I don't know, those have some weird shit in them.
>>139527751
One of the spinoff drama CDs where Daru creates dating sim archetypes of everyone. Kurisu was the yandere for some reason.
>>139527751
That was a Drama CD in which the FGL make a machine that can immerse you into virtual reality. Daru obviously picks an eroge for Okabe to get trapped in, and Okabe starts seeing all the characters as his real life counterparts. Apparently the bad end for Kurisu's route is quite unpleasant.
>>139527751
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOFkctKYQWQ
It's a clip from one of the Drama CDs. If you look around on Youtube I think someone uploaded a full video with a translation.
>>139527805
I guess since it made for humorous contrast with how she actually acts and you've got to play to the yandere market.
>>139527869
S-scary.
>>139527869
Asami Imai's voice acting in this amazing.
I am getting aroused.
>>139525603
She was justified, though. The incubators would have tried to use her, a living dynamo for entropy, to power their purposes and she could not do anything to stop it because her remit only extends to other MGs.
Instead Homura turns them into pain-slaves and gives ALL the magical girls a happy ending.
>>139522757
The futility of realizing that even if given a power to rival God, you are far behind capable of using it.
It's punishment. Look at any myth or legend of people who attempted to put themselves up with gods. They are usually swiftly reminded of their place, and usually the hard way.
So you want to use time travel to shape the world to your vision? A mere human cannot possibly observe all the minor changes they would cause. It's a power that is beyond them, and in their arrogance humans think just because they've touched it that they are the master.
So why is this depressing? Realizing that not only was this power unable to grant you what you had hoped for, but it inadvertently led you further away, and you may not even be able to undo it, is a crushing experience. When people find out the redo was pointless, they almost wish they never had the opportunity.
>>139522757
Because it's something inaccessible. Obsessed young people watching the shows with time travel might hope that they can change everything for good, if the story is not depressing and time machine actually works for the benefit of the users of it.
Every time I think of S;G I just hate it more

I actually found it uplifting that it didn't go with the whole "play with fire and you'll get burned" deal, which would have been the easy way out. Cautionary tales are a dime a dozen, but a show that can convey the idea that a solution to a dire situation exists is rare and difficult to execute properly. I think this show did pretty well in that regard.
>>139523799
I usually dislike happy endings and such, but I was smiling like an idiot monkey when this cast got a happy one in the end. Okabe and Christina deserve each other.
>>139530585
I liked how it addressed the Butterfly Effect's actual mechanisms in that what matters is a person's perception of an event. There is actually some variability with the extent to which it operates, but so long as someone's perception of an event is the same there is no surface alteration.
Gunbuster was more hype that it was depressing, and that ending was heartwarming.

>>139530748
Okabe certainly earned a happy ending and after all the revelations about Kurisu I just wanted nice things to happen to the poor girl.
Reminder that there is literally nothing wrong with happy endings.
Not counting the happy ending that goes against the concept of time-paradox developed the instant before, the concept of having memories transmitted from a phone to your brain is ridiculous. But it was a great and moving read so my suspension of disbelief was crushed.
>>139534483
Is that christmas cake Kurisu there?
>>139534616
You could almost say it's delusionalWhy does no one ever read Chaos;Head?
The amount of suffering the MC goes through is always bad.
>>139534709
Because it's a little less accessible and a lot less interesting to the type of person that finds the concept of S;G enticing.
>>139534616
The happy ending never broke any of the rules.
>>139534675
It certainly is.
>>139534803
I see Kurisu fitting the whole 'ara ara~' sort of thing very well even if it's against her character. She already has a compatible look and most of the body language down.
>>139534866
Only when she's feeling confident and a little smug though.
>>139524333
Did you even watch K-On? I like Stein's Gate (especially the VN), but there was legitimately a lot more emotional depth (not just "feelgood" shit) to the end of K-On season 2 than to the end of the Stein's Gate anime.
The entire exchange is doubly silly because both shows are "entry level" with broad appeal, in addition to both being very good.
>>139534932
I agree, and I can't think of another character that isn't a christmas cake that can carry it.
It's because time travel stories usually stem from a need or want to prevent death. Plus they always tend to focus more on the characters because when you have infinite possibilities, you need to narrow things down to character-oriented drama rather than plot focused.
YU-NO was really close to being a great time travel epic until it shat the bed around the second half. 'Save the world' stories just don't work in time travel that well unless it's directed solely by the protagonist.
>>139523799
>Saves the trap from a life of misery and probably suicide
>Saves the the waitress's parents and make her focus in real people instead of moe shit and card games
>Undo everything
>Saves his girlfriend through the power of boners
Okabe is a prick and should have remained erased from the timeline.
>>139535817
>power of boners
That's a funny way to spell years of regret and suffering
>>139535366
You don't really see that many characters engage in that kind of playful banter unfortunately. Watching the two of them interact was a joy.
>>139535817
Problem is, tutturu dies in those two options.
Watched first few episodes, then picked up the VN. Got the Suzuhara end. Then watched the rest of the show.
Is it worth going back to 'play' the rest of the routes? How different are they from the show? The VN was getting a bit 'old' especially with the 'I magically make it back to the timeleap machine to get back'.
I feel it ended fine.
>>139536531
>Got the Suzuha end
Would you like a dunce cap, too?
>>139536531
No, it was adapted nicely. The only major difference is that each loop was described 100% in the VN. The anime skimmed some of it and even skipped it completely.
>>139536531
The anime fucked up Chapter 9 pretty badly, but other than that it's mostly the same. As for other routes, Faris End is pretty interesting. Luka End is almost unanimously agreed upon as the worst route, but go ahead if you want to. Kurisu End is literally just True End cut short (it ends where Episode 22 of the anime ends). Mayuri End is is slightly different from Kurisu and True End but ends at the same place on the Beta Attractor Field.
>>139536565
k mate. sure you got the 100% perfect flawless platinum ending first time through without your flowchart.png

thanks guys.
Just a lot of investment to go through and 'play' the other routes.
>>139536531
>Got the Suzuha end
Oh god, this was the worst. After Mayuri hell, people who didn't pay attention (like most players) fall head first into another timeloop fest. It was legitimately mentally draining.
And after the VN dealt the finishing blow with the Fayris route.
>>139536531
You got a heavily altered Moeka / Braun / Nae in the show. You've also missed out on the other routes and extra detail. It's worth going through it, but you might want to wait until your memories of the show are relatively dim in a year or two.

It didn't throw it's thematic value away, it ubderwent thematic shift. Episodes 12-22 had Okabe in a state of despair, thinking that he could never have true freedom and that he simply had to accept whatever fate threw at him. Episodes 23 and 24 had him getting brought back to reality, literally slapped into it in fact, and told that the concept of freedom does exist, he just has to be willing to fight fior it, exactly as his future self in the Beta Field already did. The real theme of S;G, after everything was said and done, is that on a cosmic scale, mankind has to fight for its place in the universe, but on a personal scale, that enough effort poured into something will eventually yield the results you want. Which is overall a much healthier and realistic message than "Nothing you do matters, destiny will always decide how you end up, you're better just giving up."

And what are you talking about? time machines do exist in that worldline, otherwise there wouldn't be a divergence meter in Mr. Braun's house. There is no way that is a good ending, in fact every ending other than the true ending is a bad ending unless you are a "mai waifu" guy
I liked Umineko better than steins;gate. Other than Okave, none of the characters really had any depth to them. Maybe that was the point, though. I dunno.

>It sounds dumb, and it turns out to be dumb.
Fuck off buddy, Rocky and Bullwinkle is great.
Boring and shit show tbqh
>>139543761
>shit show
>criticaly aclaimed to be one of the best anime series ever made
I believe you, don't worry.
>>139538126
>not knowing about Steins;Gate 0
>>139537868
Hard sci-fi /lit/ probably has a few examples
>>139529776
Episode 23 and 24 are heavily implied in episode 1, but it's the worldline in which he failed, not the S;G worldline.
>>139522757
Man was not meant to trespass in the realms of god
>>139523873
That wasn't the main theme of Stein's gate.
What your looking for is Stein's gate zero.
You know what I just realized? Despite being annoyed with his chuuni shit in the first half, pretending to talk on my phone to escape actual conversation is something I've done dozens of times. If I'm in an awkward situation with no way out, pretending to get an important call is the first thing I do.
Has anyone here done this?
>>139546736
Yes. It makes standing around outside waiting for people much less awkward too, unless you get a phone call.
>>139522757
Because if you attained the ability to travel through time, it would be highly possible that it's because of a strong motivation, like wanting someone dead back.That or you wanna go back to being /ss/ and get pushed down by a strong female adventurers.
>>139546736
Has anyone every called you out mentioning how your phone didn't vibrate or ring? Cause thats how I imagine that going down.
>>139547056
Nah, people tend to fit behavior to the circumstances so long as they don't have reason to believe otherwise. They just assume it's on silent or something so long as you pull it off as realistically as possible. Saying you have to walk out somewhere to take it helps.
>>139547056
I may set my alarm (make it look like I'm texting) to go off in couple minutes
>>139547056
>having anyone to call you out for fake-calling
Well, if that does happen, the person has some issues.
>>139534766
I'm pretty sure he's got it a LOT worse than most if not all others.
I'd still trade places with Takeru in a heartbeat probably.
>>139546736
Yes.
I wear a labcoat too. Though that's out of necessity.Shit, maybe I am Okabe.
>>139548635
You aren't the only research assistant here.Though you're probably far more qualified than me.The real question is whether your lab coat ends just about 2-3 inches above your ankles. It needs to be long to get the complete look.
>>139548938
Can you even buy one like this? Even the longest only seem to extend to your knees
>>139550107
>>139548938
I wear a 42L and it goes down about that far. Other sizes will vary of course sinceI'm 6'4", so I'm weirdly tall as well.
>>139550107
I ordered mine with a custom length from a certain website. Unfortunately I don't recall the name.
>>139522757
>Why are stories about time travel always the most depressing?
You realize that nobody ever goes back in time just to kill Hitler.
I want a spinoff set in a worldline where another chuunibyou laboratory is set up adjacent to FGL, and they compete to out-science eachother
>>139550593
When they do, they always go back to like 1944 or something pointless, instead of, say, 1932. For what purpose?
Killing Hitler may just result in a larger more devastating WW2 happening later on, so I wouldn't take the risk.
>>139550609
I want a series whereOkabe and Kurisu have more banter and do more cute awkward couple things.Make it happen dammit.
>>139550609
That sounds like a really funny spin-off but there's no way they can out-science the lab, they have a real scientist and a supah hackah
>>139550609
>the chuunibyou lab is being lead by 4℃
Wait a minute, this sounds familiar.
>>139550872
What if the Organization has a supah hacka and maddo scientist of their own?
>>139550877
He's a homeless vagrant, he can't run a lab. Haven't you played theALPACAMANroute?
>>139550609
I guess Suzu/Mayuri/Faris would form the FGL cheerleader squad to keep up morale?
Moeka could be the an agent of cyberwarfare, of course
>>139551439
But Suzu knows everything about time travel and the construction of the universe, that's valuable stuff.
>>139551809
Not in a carefree World Line. Delta Suzu is a total airhead.
>>139551884
SHe's also a bit schizophrenic and can see Beta and Omega Suzu
>>139552054
I thought that was Phenogram and not canon?
>>139552054
Nah that was Alpha Suzuha seeing Beta and Delta Suzuha. They just used confusing codenames.
>>139552131
Yeah it's not canon.
>>139552054
that suzuha is from the alpha attractor field and the one they call "omega" is actually from the delta attractor field
>>139552131
To be fair, everything in S;G is "canon", if its on another worldline, though nothing besides alpha and beta attractor fields are generally paid much attention to on official or non-spin off installments.
>>139552131
Wouldn't meeting other versions of yourself cause a paradox, something completely outlawed in S;G time travel mechanics?
>>139552263
that's why it's not canon
>>139552263
That's why we don't pay any heed to the Phenogram stories. They're mostly nonsensical but amusing what-ifs by guest writers.
>>139552263
>meet yourself from other timelines
>one is a badass
>the other is enjoying life
>and you're neither
>>139522757
Chrono Trigger and Radiant Historia are both pretty happy endings.
>>139552162
>They just used confusing codenames
>mfw Beta and Delta arguing about codenames
>Delta still don't give up about it
Phenogram is fucking hilarious sometime.
>you will never date mayuri
why live?
>>139552263They are not real.
>>139552471
>mayuri would never lay an eye on you
fixed
>>139552471
Tutturu!
>>139552518
>You will never date Mayuri, Suzu, Faris, or Kurisu
>ESPECIALLY Kurisu, and even if you did, she wouldn't be happy, because you're not Okabe
Essentially it can be summed up as
>You will never be Okabe
>>139552471
This annoying verbal tick bitch dying was the highlight of the show.
>>139552338
I wish Phenogram and Darling would get translated to English, but I don't think that's going to ever happen
orz
>>139552246
I guess Omega Suzuha suffers the same fate like Alpha then.
>>139552635
Don't remind me.
