Currently re watching this, what do you guys think of Steins;Gate
Overrated.
People confuse memes with writing quality.
Lurk more, you newfag shit.
I love it and I love the VN, pretty hyped for 0.
>>139909030
Yeah I cant wait for eng release
>>139908978
Hopefully 0 will be better, show was pretty much a meme and a half.
>>139908978
It's my favorite animu.
It's good, but isn't the masterpiece some say it is.
>>139908978
Will you fuck off?
I love S;G, but faggots like you need to go through the archives so we don't have a bland thread shitting up the board.
>>139909946
I'd say the VN might be pretty close to one but yeah anime definitely isn't.
Should I give this another try?
I watched like 2 episodes before and honestly thought it was pretty bad so I dropped it, does it get better if I force myself to watch more?
>>139910258
Yes. The first few episodes are dogshit because Okabe's chuuni is insufferable. Make it to at least episode 4-6 and you should like it much more. I forget when it actually kicks up and gets rolling.
Hey guys, I watched like 4 episodes and can't get into the lighthearted scenes, should I drop this or continue?
First episode was good but then it went downhill from there.
>>139910258
That's mostly the reason it isn't a 10/10.
The start's pretty boring until about half way through and some of the characters suck and are pretty annoying. However the 'main' story (I guess you'd call it) is great.
>>139910589
The series would be better without Faris and Moeka. Fuck those characters man.
>>139910339
Keep going at least until ep 13 or so then decide (it gets a lit better around there)
>>139910258
>>139910339
Why the fuck are you asking?
Watch it or don't, it's your fucking decision.
/a/ has utter shit taste a majority of the time so why would you even take the replies seriously.
I know this is bait anyway, but if you don't like it, don't watch it, and don't shitpost.
>>139910848
>why are you discussing anime on /a/?
>REEEEEEEEE
>>139910928
/a/ hates everything that has been watched by over 4000 different people and calls it shit every time it is brought up.
>>139908978
Barely worth watching, let alone rewatching
>>139910985
The only reason I would ever consider re-watching it is because fuck replaying the VN considering its about 24 hours or so
>>139910848
They were just asking for advice, calm down.
>>139910964
No, I love this series I just hate when some faggot finally watches a 5 year old anime and always asks /a/ "hey guise whattya thinka dis?" when we've had literally hundreds of threads about it.
If you want to discuss it, fine, but don't regurgitate the same fucking shit that's been posted before without adding anything.
>>139910705
Moeka was bearable. Feyris on the other hand...
>hey guys I just saw X for the first time. I mean I'm rewatching it! What do you think of it?
>>139910848
Just asking for advice mate, and I'm not the same guy as the other anon
その目だれの目
>>139910339
>>139910589
Fuck you, the first half was great
>>139908978
>tfw you actually know what /a/ thinks about S;G but you don't know any other way to start a thread
>>139911738
We are the 1% fampai
>>139911911
The first half is the reason people even get emotional over the second half. Why would anyone give a shit about Okabe, Mayuri or Christina if we didn't get to know them first?
Fucking turbo plebs
>>139911738
>>139911911
Count me in.
Good character chemistry, tolerable comedy elements, the "some weird shit goin' on here" feeling, setting up the rules for time travel and establishing everything for the 2nd half.
I can understand those who're saying it was boring, since this one is obvious personal preferences territory, but saying the first half is pointless is beyond retarded. (Though, as I've experienced, actionfags and shaunenfags are the ones who often say this nonsense.)
>>139912156
People who don't understand seinen shouldn't be watching seinen. It's as simple as that.
Whose eyes are those eyes?
>>139911829
Start a thread asking if Mayushii is retarded
>>139912053I never gave a shit about Kurisu
>>139912232
>You just hide your shit taste with a spoiler
Great job.
>>139912242
Go and watch/read Tokyo Ghoul, you underaged edgeshitturd.
>>139912259
It's for comedic effect senpai
>>139912232
Well alright but still, the struggle wouldn't be the same without setting everything up at first
>>139912287
Chaos;Head is better than the original Steins;Gate, deal with it.
>>139912328
The VN was nice. I was sad to see that the anime adaptation became dogshit.
>>139912328
Because it has gore and blood and edge, right?
>>139912328
>>139912347
Robotic;Notes fucking never
Zero in 2018 at best
Anonymous;Code? Forget it
>>139912328
I respect but ultimately disagree with your opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF8otSSPgdA
Good times.
>>139912381
Robotics;Notes tried to do SoL Mecha and it was just strange. Some might like it, but it was still weird.
>>139912347
What anime adaption are you speaking of?
There is no anime adaption.
Has anyone in here read Noah?
I was surprised to seethat the essay was in the script.

>>139912407
I want the VN niggah
>>139908978
Well, I strongly disliked it during the first episode because I actually know a bit about theoretical physics and the bad science and shit explanations pissed me off.
But after I started getting more and more into it I warmed up considerably. You can't really expect them make an hour long episode getting into the nitty gritty, "This is how it works, mad science, fuck it." was good enough.
>>139912328
This has got to be bait, the adaption was absolute shit.
>>139912438
Stupid, that's an april's fool that has been going on for too long.
There is no anime of Chaos;Head.
>>139912454
4th year Theoretical Physics student here, the science wasn't off enough to be unbearable. They thought ahead by basing it off of hypotheses rather than theories that have been tested and failed.Kerr black holes from a microwave though, what the fugg?
>>139912469
>adaption
Who is talking about the adaptions here?
When talking about VNs, you talk about the canon works, in the case of SciADV, we are talking about:
Chaos;Head Noah
Steins;Gate
Robotics;Notes Elite
Chaos;Child
Steins;Gate Zero
and all of their canon spin-offs.
>>139912470
Someone explain the crane meme to someone whos only played the VN.
>>139912454
I hate people like you. No fucking shit a story about time travel has bullshit science
>>139912508
Delusional bees and construction vehicles attacking civilians. Instead of delusional mind control, realbooted construction vehicles attack them after the third melt.
Which is absurd, to say the least.
>>139912500
But kerr black holes only make a closed timelike curve
closed timelike curves are closed, the object's past is in its future, time loop forever
Are there any more ScieADV spurdos?
>>139912569
They're not eve confirmed to do that. As I said, hypotheses. The fact that they invoked MW hypothesis and bullshitted it off of a hypothetical mechanism means they're not technically wrong - just probably.
>>139912500I'm a psychology major, I just watch A LOT of discovery/science channel and read books my dad lends me.
I know dude.
And they kept describing it as if it had to do with the rotational setting of the microwave. (???)
I don't care what kind of rotation the microwave plate has or what kind of frequency you set it to, microwaves aren't going to fucking induce that shit, full stop.
>>139912191
I haven't bothered to check the rest of the endings, did they explained about the rest of the NewGen in them?
>>139912656
>I'm a psychology major,
You must have had a field day with Christinas daddy issues
>>139912670
The B ending in the PC version explains the New Gene Murders, yes.
Which New Gene don't you understand?
>>139912698
Don't be a cunt. What's your degree in? High school Trig?

Wow rude, I wasn't even trying to be a cunt
>>139912454
> because I actually know a bit about theoretical physics and the bad science and shit explanations pissed me off.
No, you don't. A majority of what they wrote about is based of fleshed out ideas and hypotheses (see >>139912641) and are entirely physically possible, from what they're thought to be, though not probable if we're able to test them.
The only legitimately cringe-inducing part is when they use a blackhole to 'compress' TBs of data into 36 bytes
>>139911829
>/a/ is one person

>>139912770
To be honest I didn't even read your full post, I apologize. Just 99/100 times I see
>psychology major
it's a derogatory shitpost.
Also I'm the Th.Phys guy, not the Psych guy being butthurt.
>>139912766
Group Dive:The group dive happened in the same year the story takes place in. The Mewtube Video is a projection of Darth Spider's memories and because he didn't remember every detail a building is missing.
Vampire House:They took a guy, drained his blood, placed him into the stall and wrote the message with his blood.
Tasty Hand:Darth Spider used a Noah II transceiver to show her a delusion. In this delusion she had great hunger and her hand looked like fried chicken, when she bit into it, delicious fat and meat juices flowed out. Reading this was strange.
DQN Puzzle:Darth Spider used a Noah II transceiver to realboot a Spark Wars monster, which tore the DQNs in part. He then used fishing line to sew them back together and marked their foreheads with D, Q and N.
Pic related to the DQN Puzzle.
>>139912698
Anime characters almost never make any real sense from any workable framework, so I straight up don't bother.
What a character is like says more about the author than it does about anything plausible in-world, best I could really say is that everyone in the show having some kind of major deficiency implies that the author automatically assumes life works on a point-buy system (DnD reference) and that every positive attribute should balance out with a negative. That's trademark insecurity right there, though to be honest it's also character design 101 if yo don't want the audience to get fucking bored, so as I said, anime is never worth reading into.
>>139912717
Not me.
>>139912828
>not enjoying the degree banter
Step it up senpai
>>139912828
Pschology is a meme degree, you sniveling autist. It's filled with retarded sorority girls and desperate betas who don't give two shits about their education and want to graduate with the least amount of needed studying.
>>139912890
The degree banter is shit. It only serves to swell the egos of the faggots that I share a class with - whose heads are already on the verge of making the Sun a binary system - and to belittle those who decided to pursue something they actually enjoy rather than falling for the STEM meme and hating themselves for a relatively better paycheck.For the record, I wanted to go into STEM before it became a meme.
>>139912968
Degree banter is part of the univerity experience. Aways has and always will. I haven't met anyone who actually takes it seriously
>>139908978
I think you fags need to stop trying to force a Kurisu general. I like Steins;Gate as much as the next guy but holy shit if there's nothing to discuss why zombify a thread with image dumps. That happens almost every time.
>>139913003
Trust me, the autistic engineers take it seriously.

>>139912943
I don't need to use my POWERS OF FOURTH YEAR PSYCHOLOGY to tell you that you're majorly projecting your own insecurity and uneasiness with society onto me.
The fact that you said "sorority girls" makes it almost obvious, it could only get more telling if you went "FUCKING CHADS, REEEEEE!"
You're just a misanthrope because you've converted all your depression into misplaced disdain as a protection mechanism. Go back to /r9k/.
>>139913003
In real life people never bring that up with me, because most people that know me well enough to know my degree plan also know I'm only majoring in it because I'm contractually obligated to join the Army as a Civil Affairs Liason after I graduate, and Pyschology seemed like a less retarded degree plan than Political Science.
I'm the first one to agree that most Social Science majors are pieces of shit, but I want to work in an embassy one day so I have to bear it.
Besides, it's not a psychology thing, it's a human thing. Most people are just kinda disappointing, period. There are lowest common denominators in all fields. Social Sciences has air-headed SJW's sure, but every time I study with my Computer Science major friend at his lab I'm repeatedly flabbergasted by the sheer autism there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Physics majors go "Meep." every once in awhile honestly. Every field has it's embarrassing members.
>>139913294
I would rather actually play it for myself
alright, so as someone who's never watched this show (and doesn't really watch animu in general), does everyone in this show have some personalized flavor of autism? I'm only halfway through ep2 right now.
>>139913294
Someone already post it before.
>>139913362
That was me then as well.
>>139913294
Give it to me, I'm not willing to wait ~4 years
>>139913361
They're all social retards.
Moeka is the only one who's a legit low functioning autist
>>139913361
Okabe acts like he doesfor Mayuri's sake
>>139913361
It's basically a story about a lonely guy that likes science and whose only friend for most of his life is a really extroverted girl that is at the same time as weird as him. He then meets another guy who's not quite as delusional as him, but still equally as lonely because he's a nerdy tech guy. They make a "lab" together(really just an excuse to hang out and bullshit while occasionally building random stuff and splitting rent while at university)
Then one of their inventions accidentally does something cool and they don't know how it happened, but they end up doing small scale time travel.
Then everything spirals out of control and shit gets crazy and all kinds of bad shit happens and everything goes wrong and everything is on fire, the end.

Keep telling yourself that, with your garbage, overinflated degree.
Literally business management levels of graduates per year. Who do you think majors in it? The aspiring minds of our time? No, fucking retarded faggots, such as yourself, who couldn't bring themselves to study as much as is required in other, more fulfilling, fields.
>>139913605
Well, while we're at it, here's the list of every world line observed in the series, courtesy of Steiner.
>lanky roleplaying chuuni sperglord
>cosplaying retarded girl who refers to herself in third person with an autistic nickname
>fat socially inept @channeler who can't hold a conversation without cramming in some dank @channel memes
>another socially inept @channeler who can't hide her power level and is unironically tsundere
>autistic otherkin who owns a maido cafe and indulges Okabes autistic chuuni shit
>legit autist who kills people because a phone tells her to
Sounds terrible on paper, but somehow it all turned out well enough
>>139913660
>Who do you think majors in it?
People who want to be therapists and psychological healers?
All you have to do is listen to people bitch while nodding occasionally.
I'm not even that guy but I can tell there's a place for psychology degrees to find jobs.
>>139913564
alright, is this supposed to be serious? cause so far, this shits just comedic with it's dank meme drops.
not that I'm complaining, I just can't take it seriously.
>>139913739
oh lawd dis gon be gud
>>139913660
lmao, this fuckin' guy. What did I tell you? >>139912968
>>139913778
>alright, is this supposed to be serious?
Yes. It's a seinen. It's lighthearted at first but I assure you it gets dark as hell. This is vague enough to not be a spoiler, so: There are many deaths.
>>139913605
merci
>>139913778
Steins;Gate follows a four act structure.
The first act is characterization and build up, the darkness gathers behind the scenes to take center stage in the second act, leading to the third act of rebellion.
All you got now is foreshadowing.
>>139913660
What the fuck are you talking about?
Are you having a breakdown?
I explained in my post that the military is funding my education with the caveat that I sign a 5 year contract.
It's not some random lark that I picked because I'm "lazy" you fucking dope, it's related to my career plan.
>in other, more fulfilling, fields.
Again, did you miss how I already have a guaranteed job making roughly 80k a year in my preferred career?
Normally it's best to assume that when people say "You're projecting" they're just asshats that are repeating it because they heard it somewhere before, but in this case that's seriously what you're doing.
Just because you don't like your life doesn't mean everyone else on the planet is either retarded or depressed.
As I said, it's your own self-esteem that's the problem here and you've converted your depression and fear into disdain as a protection mechanism.
Would you prefer to (A) Accept it and deal with it, or (B) Continue living in a delusional wonderland where everything is shit and you can't take responsibility for your own behavior? Because honestly, I bet most people in your life are sick of babying your neurotic ass.

Yes, all routes. The VN greatly expands upon every character with at least 6 episode's worth of content.But also Suzuha's
>>139914133
Yes, all of them.
I watched the anime first, and read the novels after, but I think it's still a valuable experience.

And I'll probably do Suzuha's firsteven though Makise was the only one I really liked as a romance option in the anime.
>>139914117
I could probably launch into a long ass essay where I basically call you a clannish sheep that's decided 4chan is your group so you adopted the customs of the herd as if it was your own will because you wanted to fit in.
I could say that baneposters are their own self-contained sub-group of 4chan that get a powerful and addictive sense of belonging when someone validates their baneposts with a "You're a big shitposter" or a "4u".
I could explain that in 2000 words right here right now if I wanted.
But it's 6am and I don't give a shit anymore, go fuck yourself.

>>139914095
That was excellent.
Fuck, one of the reasons I found the anime as great as the source is the directing. Hamasaki Hiroshi is GOD. Too bad the shitty producers somewhat killed his rep with giving him cancer like Terra Formars, Blade and Soul and such.
>>139913660
your self view is really inflated dial it down a bit or the real world is going to crush you
>>139914290
I do must admit, you are a person of a great stature, yet you only adopted the 4chan culture. I was born in it, molded by it, by the time I saw the reddit I was already a master memer and by then, it was nothing to me but autism.
Do the other ScieAdv VN's take place on the Steins Gate wordline?
I also have another question. Every time Okabe sends his merories back in time, or changes the worldine through a D-mail what happens to the Okabes in those worldines? Isn't it kind of depressing to think about what happens to him once he sends his memories back in time because from that Okabes perspective nothing actually changed.
>>139914345
I'm kinda worried that he might be not returned for Zero. Hopefully he will.
>>139914362
You think 4chan is your ally! You merely adopted the chan culture. I was born in it, moulded by it! I didn't leave USENET until I was already a man, and then it was only reposts.
I'm confused, Is Mayushii legit retarded? so far, the only one who seems remotely normal is Kurisu
>>139914387
>Do the other ScieAdv VN's take place on the Steins Gate wordline?
Yes.
There is only one world, only one world line is active at a time. This means that they simply get erased.
>>139914387
I think it's assumed that all of them do.
>what happens to the Okabes in those worldines?
You don't understand how world lines work. There's only one world line set to any particular value at any given moment. There's nobody to overwrite because there's only one Okabe, what memories he has is a different question.
>>139914387
The better question is how the hell Okabe managed to compress 4,3 TB of data into 18 byte. I'm a CS major and the only possible way for this to work would be sending something like a seed from which memories can be rebuild, but this is nigh-impossible even with modern computers.
>>139914430
Was copying my writing style part of your plan? You should be shot in the head and then thrown out of a plane for your continued autism.
>>139914514
Why of course!
>>139914455
>>139914476
So there's only one "active" wordline while the others remain as a possibility?
>>139914448
>I'm confused, Is Mayushii legit retarded?
No.
She's just a normal girl surrounded by goofy-ass supergeniuses.
She's not especially intelligent, but most girls aren't. She isn't a technological genius like Daru, a theoretical physicist slash neuroscience like Kurisu, or a conceptual mastermind like Okabe.
She's still very perceptive and understanding.
>>139914537
Exactly so.
It's always the same person speaking based on general spacetime coordinates and material composition, just the circumstances of how they got to where they are and their memories are different.
>>139914535
Enough memeing for today.
>>139914537
Exactly.
Robotics;Notes is explicitly stated to be on the Steins Gate world line, and Chaos;Child can only happen on 1.048596 as well, because on the Beta attractor field the world is nuked by that point in time. And there wouldn't really be any point in continuing the experiment of the children on alpha.
>>139914584
So you're saying that I crashed this meme with no survivors?
>>139914540
>Okabe
>supergenius
okabe pls
>>139914611
No, that was merely part of my meme plan.
>>139914579
>>139914610
At last I truly see. Is this mentioned in the VN?
>>139914610
They also have worldline overlaps, like Kurisu posting on @chan under KuriGohanandKamehameha and Daru posting as DaSH being shown in Robotics;Notes, the model number and name of the weapon at the end being made by Daru, and Nae having Suzuha's bike.
are the other VNs worth playing? like the robot one and the chaos one. none of seem to have the same kind of following steins;gate does

I once lived in an apartment with a large CRT and one time when it was on and someone was microwaving something, my wireless mouse lagged like crazy. I swear there had to be time travel involved since all my inputs were getting sent to the future.

Chaos;Head - Psychological thriller, kid gets fucked with a lot
Chaos;Child - Murder Mystery
Robot - Slice of Life Mecha with some other psychological elements
They're all really good actually. Chaos much moreso than Robotics.

ignore all the rabid fanboys.
did the same thing, dropped after few episodes.
picked it up a while later, since there had to be something there due to it being so popular.
Watched about 5 episodes, played one route of the VN, then finished the show.
Think that's the best to watch it.
Honestly if you played every route of the VN, then watched the show, you'd really only be watching to see how it was adapted.
Once the show started covering stuff I hadn't 'played' I started enjoying it even more.
Animation's good, OPs 10/10, etc.
