What does /a/ think of Steins Gate?
>>141164225
My life has only gotten worse since S;G aired.
Contemptible VN trash
it's basically a time travel harem with a massive coating of autism and tropes on top ending with a predictable happy ending
top tier waifus
>>141164225
/a/ thinks Steins Gate is godlike and any negative comments on SG are tsunderes who have difficulty conveying their true feelings on its awesomeness.
>>141164835
roundface kurisu a shit
>>141164225
It's my absolute favorite anime the past few years, I don't know the show+movie just struck so close to home I really enjoyed it more than any other anime I have watched.
>>141164225
A great show. I actually prefer it to the VN.
>>141164682
True. Lot of top tier waifus, yet the worst one won.
>>141164225
Overrated as shit. The VN is superior.
>>141164225
Solid show that doesn't suffer any more or less from the typical plotholes that arise from a timetravel plot than any other timetravel show.
Alternatively,
A story about a guy's quest to selfishly get his conscience in the timeline that suits him best despite telling himself he is doing it for others.
Top tier
Starts out very strong, ends poorly and predictably. 6.5/10 imo.
I've yet to see the movie though, is it any good
>>141166911
>implying Christina isn't best girl
Mayuri a shit.

>>141166923
I feel like people who shipped Okabe with Makise preferred the anime, while people who shipped Okabe with whoever they thought was best girl preferred the VN's. Which I find nothing wrong with, it's just the beauty of having adaptations.
>>141167024
If by predictable you mean that he ends up with cristina and manages to "fix" everything. Well, that was pretty much a given from episode 1. The show's strong points are how they get from the starting point to that ending.
Also, implying you saw the MrBraun tweest coming, nobody believes you.
>>141167181
Stop. This shit is cancer. Fucking ruining my day.
>>141167243
>literally everyone in Okarin's life is part of the time loop/conspiracy
>thinking MeesterBrawn is any different

there's literally no superfluous characters, and only like 9 of them total
>>141167190
>VN didn't come with a Hashida route
Thoroughly disappointed, didn't even have to be a romantic sexual route. Just a route where they get closer together and bonds as best bros for life during their timetravel shenanigans.
>>141167024
If you think it ends poorly/predictably, I feel like you won't enjoy the movie as much as I did, considering Makisepretty much goes through a hectic time loopjust like Okabe did. What made me enjoy the movie a lot though was her ending her doubts about all the world lines Okabe has visited/traveled through to get to the steins;gate line they are on at the end of the show.
>>141167331
>there's literally no superfluous characters, and only like 9 of them total
>This is a bad thing
Also, you don't know that for sure untill the tweest is reveiled.
Even when you expect MrBraun to be involved somehow, you still don't know how he is involved.
Also implying a predictable story means it is a bad story, the titanic movie is predictable as shit, yet it is widely considered to be an extremely good movie.
Probably the best time travel anime there is. Although I always feel the only reason anyone ever makes them is to save on animation costs, not because there's an actually interesting story to tell that hasn't been done before.
>>141167432
This movie turned to shit when they decided to turn the last 1/3 into a generic sploshuns michael bay flick, and it wasn't great to start with anyway.

This will always be the most dumb "pose" in anime/VN/mongo. Imagine a girl talking to you with one eye open and the other closed. not a wink, no, eye is firmly closed.
Honestly, at that point the only thing going through my mind is "this is kowai m8", not "this is kawaii m8"

>>141167570
Who cares that it goes to shit? Nobody watched it for the plot.
>>141167893
0 is suffering.
Chaos;Head is better.Obviously I mean the VN. There's no anime.
>>141167974
Watching it for Tom Cruise isn't a much better reason. The only scene worth watching is Emily Blunt doing those wonky pushups.
>>141168056
That non-existant anime had a pretty good opening. Only good thing to come out of that non-existant anime.

>>141167181
Not a single person "singing" has a voice that has broken yet. This is who I share a board with.
>>141167190
For me it just comes down to preferring animation as a medium. I find VN's are usually extremely tedious and dull, but I made an exception and checked out the source material because I liked the show so much.
>>141168160
Its a real shame they never made anything beyond the op.
>>141168160I like F.D.D more than Find the Blue.
>>141168056
Maaaan I watched thatanimewhen it first was airing. I was 14 and I couldn't have been more confused.
>>141164225
It's shit.
Plot is dumb and makes no sense, everything is dragged out, but then again what did you expect from a shitty VN.
Okabe is great and the girls are cute though, that's about it.
>>141167331
>there's literally no superfluous characters, and only like 9 of them total
This is a good thing, that's very strong storytelling, nothing happens by accident.Even the lecture guy in episode 1 you think is a throwaway chara is relevant, you realize he's the whole reason Kirisu is there at all, why she knows about time travel, why she dies, etc...
>>141167893
I wonder how are they going to adaptthose two routes, even though it's not particularly hard, and what are the things that they're going to cut.
Erased did it better.

You might have a point if they hadn't dropped that element of the show almost immediately.

There is exactly one cute character in this entire show, daga otokoda.

>>141183770
I'd be grateful if you could say what ep
ive really zero memory of this being addressed in any way
It's my favorite anime of all time and here's why:
Firstly, and right off the bat, it is built on top a foundation of comedic absurdity. I watched the anime first then later played the VN. It didn't hit me until about episode 8 what the show was: literally an anime adaptation of anonymous shitposting. People pretending to be from the future on 4chan and the like, just making shit up.
Secondly, while all characters are basically cut and paste archetypes everyone has seen 100 times, they are done about as well as possible. Every character is likable or relatable in some way. Even Moeka, as much as I want to hate her.
Thirdly, the general meta-anime tongue in cheek nature of the dialog and action of the characters/writing. Everyone talk and acts exactly like you would expect of group of shut-in borderline mentally ill channers to talk. Using internet and anime lingo in real life like it's normal. A lot of people hate when a show pokes fun of tropes in a joking manner then does them itself but I honestly credit that to a higher double meta commentary on anime.
Fourthly, the Steins;Gate universe paints a universe wherein quantum mechanics dictates that life is deterministic. I am a fan of the deterministic model of quantum mechanics because I'm a pathetic, lonely loser and I want to believe there is literally nothing I could have done about this.
Finally, the science. Again, it's done in a joking, absurd, tongue in cheek manner. A guy just throws a fucking phone on a microwave so he can heat up his hot pockets remotely, and because it just so happens to be above a massive CRT TV, it's now suddenly a time machine. But oddly enough, it's really fucking good at consistency and believably. Easily one of the best instances of time travel in sci-fi. Only thing that was too silly was using a literal black hole to compress data.
Bonusilly, Mayuri. Mayuri is a best and a cute. ANY show would be at least a 7/10 if you dropped her into it.
No one is going to read all this.
>>141167190
well duh, they give you the option to play the other routes
>>141185845
>No one is going to read all this.
I read everything, good review desu.
>>141185845
It's set in a world in which particles from the Dirac Sea will form objects in reality if placed into your dead spot by a certain machine or certain people.
>>141164225
I think is an ok show, nothing espectacular, but is highly overrated by fags cause "muh first time travel anime" "muh tsundere waifu" "le twist", etc, etc, and that's why it gets so much shitposting.
Reddit tier crap.
>>141166556
>awesomeness

>>141176172
>Kurisu will never drunkenly rub her face against your stubble
I've lived too long.
Could it be adapted into a live action film for American audiences and not suck?
>>141186473
They kind of already did that by accident, except it sucked. It even has a character named Christina in it and the same basic plot of a group of friends getting carried away with time travel and then frantically trying to fix everything.
There should've been more Gamma and Omega content.
As of now Steins;Gate is the only SciADV without the phrase "Whose eyes are those eyes?" in it.
Prove me wrong.
>>141185845
Wow, you did a really good job listing out exactly why it is my favorite anime aswell! Impressive sir.
>>141186012
I actually finished reading Chaos;Head not too long ago.
I have yet to start trying piece together how they fit together along with Robotic;Notes. All that committee of 300 crap.
If they're the same universe, wouldn't Akihabara be fucked up from the earthquakes caused by Noah II? I just don't even know.
>>141188618
The earthquake was localized with Noah II in its centre.
The intro to Chaos;Child shows this in it's whole glory, alternatively, the trailer shows a "prototype" version of the intro sequence.

Welcome to Chaos World.
>>141164225
I loved the show and the VN. I played the VN on GNU/Linux. It worked great, unless I was in fullscreen mode and a cutscene (usually a time leap) started. I lost my place a few times when he leaped abruptly, because it makes the game crash without saving.
>>141185467
I would if I knew enough nip.
>>141191495
>not going through it anyways
Translations will take forever and who isn't already spoiled completely at this point?
>>141185845
I also liked that the science stuck to the rules in that universe. Most time travel stories break their own rules, but it did a good job of avoiding that.
>>141191536
>who isn't already spoiled completely
I'm one of those people. I understand very little about what goes on in C;C and don't know how it relates to the rest of SciAdv.
>>141185845
I think you're looking too hard for meta explanations when that wasn't the intent, but Chiyomaru does a damn good job with his science writing.
>>141191581
Haven't you seen the trailer that was released years ago?
It's a direct continuation of C;H.
Shibuya 6 years after the earthquake in 2015, new strange murders are happening.
"Kocchi minna" A man cuts off his arm and eats it on livestream.
>>141191581
"Otomore-tan" a singer is found in the streets with a speaker which was singing for her in her belly.
>>141191714
Never watched the trailer though I know it's a direct sequel to C;H. I'm aware there are strange murders, and I know the MC is part of the school newspaper club or something like that. Also, something about sumo seals.
>>141164279
>My life has only gotten worse since i started watching anime
FTFY
Also why everybody assumes OP is asking about the anime when he just says "Steins Gate"?
>>141191822
>Also, something about sumo seals.
Everything is about those Sumo Seals.
They were there even in 2007, and after the earth quake, they temporarily vanished.
I wonder, who researched those Seals back then.
>>141191845
Because the natural assumption is that more people have seen the anime than played the VN.
>>141164225
It was a fun ride. People tend to overhype it though, just like with FMA:B. Like any other anime, it's nothing more than a piece of entertainment.

Stop calling it GNU/Linux tho.
>>141192524
But I use the GNU operating system with the Linux kernel. I like my unixlike coreutils along with my kernel.
>>141192613
Stop that.
>>141192637
Stop using proper terminology? The GNU project is simply an operating system without a kernel, that is what it was designed and created as. Linux was created to be used as a kernel with GNU, or with other operating systems.
I am fine with people just calling it Linux, but I try to use proper terms myself.
>>141188132
steins;gate is also the only good sciadv series out there too. the rest are shit.
>>141192760
Are you trying to fucking rile me up?
It is a consistently half empty show.
The first half has great atmosphere but no plot and no progression. Typical VN adaptation.
The latter half has plot and is progressing towards a goal but completely lacks the really good atmosphere they had in the beginning. It doesn't feel like there is something crawling in the background. It feels like there is a clear cut goal but just not the missing puzzle piece.
That and the shitty fucking memeing aggravates the fuck out of me. I know that in jap chan culture they actually like those references but this show just didn't feel good overall.
I would say it is average compared to all the shows I've finished and above average/good for all the shows I've at least started.
it was fun watching mayuri die
>>141192969
No, I am fine with you using the name Linux to describe GNU operating system being used with the Linux kernel to be used as a Unix like operating system, but I use proper terminology.
>>141193035
There's no way people like you actually exist.
>>141193078

One of the two decent series produced at White Fox.
>>141192382
>>141192475
In the Faris ending, would Christina die, and would either of the bad endings happen? Okarin would not be there to stab her, and the metal oopa should not be there either.
>>141193920
In the Faris ending you give up on everyone and everything you've got so far just to have her as your girlfriend and rid yourself of the pain and the need to save your childhood friend. Really, only the Mayuri, Kurisu and True endings are good. The rest will have you separeted from the world.
>Suzuha
>go to the 70s and die early
>Faris
>moe cosplay sex
>Girl Ruka
>child and """" normal"""" life
>>141194104
>Faris
>moe cosplay sex
How is that a negative?
>>141194104
That's wrong.
In the Faris end, you try to warp the world into your favor by sending an additional D-Mail.
The result is something unexpected, but you don't give up on saving Mayuri.
The only time you give up on saving Mayuri is in the Luka end, the worst end.
>>141194104
Would Mayuri die in the Faris ending? It seems that she may not. So you save the life of Faris's father, and you are sacrificing your friends' memories of you. You can rebuild the relationships, and they may even begin to remember their memories of you from other world lines.
If I were trying to fix my timeline, I would probably accept that as the best outcome.
>>141194259
>best outcome
>>141194259
The world is still doomed.
The Divergence Meter exists, and so does time travel.
As long as time travel exists, the world will end in ruin some way or the other.
>>141194385
In the Faris ending Okarin's lab never exists, so he can't help SERN complete their time travel. I think the only loose end would be Christina possible coming up with time travel, unless I am missing something, which I may be.
>>141194497
The divergence meter exists, so Suzuha brought it back from the future.
We can thus assume something bad will happen.
The only "good" world line is the Steins Gate one, and even then, we still have the Chaos Children and the ROBOTS. Robots was resolved nicely, but the matter of thedelusional world and the spreading infection were not resolved.
>>141169672
>>141169781
Oh shit, I just noticed this. Moeka got that new phone in that timeline where she sends those, right? would that be the reason Okarin didn't know who they were from?
>>141194709

Moeka never changed phones.
>>141194577
How do we know it exists again?

Okabe storms into Tennouji's house and sees it, it displaying a negative number.

MEME MAGIC
>>141198438
Funny, I thought Einstein said that IF time travel was possible, that it would only be ONE WAY, and that direction was forwards.
He explained it by saying that the closer we get to the speed of light, time slows down in relation to those who were at 'normal' speed.
He proved his theory by having two identical clocks and then placing one on a speeding train and the other left stationary. He could measure a difference between the two clocks. The one that had been on the train was ever so slightly 'slow' when compared to the stationary one.
So, if a person was to travel at a high speed through space, time for him relative to those back on Earth would pass slower, but this phenomena only works one way, FORWARDS!

I wonder how Okabe would react if he saw Kurisu at the age of 18 looking like she used to at the age of 12.
There are no good girls in the show

She's not retarded, she's autistic. She see's the world a different way.
That's how she was able to figure out Daru was Suzuha's father.
That never would have been know if it weren't for her.
>>141164225
Time travel premise:
a. Promised infinite timelines and what we got was were three timelines.
b. SERN was a shit villain never learned anything from the repeats and didn't surprise Okabe
c. Time leap machine was always there for Okabe to 'go back'. Never once did he fail to do so: it was too convenient.
d. Time machine was a black hole microwave. Stop with this.
e. The time travel is bland as a fuck. There are no interesting paradoxes with far reaching consequences at all. There is no confrontation of the morality of using time travel. There are no unexpected consequences other than a bunch of NEETs showing up at your door for meddling in time travel. There are no consequences for making the wrong mistake within each attempt.
Quality:
a. Episode 1 was GOAT in the visuals and the setup
b. Episodes 2-6 were insurmountably shit tier containing no plot whatsoever and chockablock full of memes.
c. Episodes up to Mayuri were entrancing and evoking
d. Episodes past Mayuri became awful, predictable (it's everyone has a backstory, the series) and episodic around D mails.
e. Movie: ok but too linear
The show never delivers:
a. Jello happens and is never mentioned again
b. Show starts out with existential horror but it turns out that the villains are a bunch of NEETs
This show gets a 9/10 because I'm a cynical time travel fanatic who's experienced hundreds of stories. Romance/emotional aspects/story/pace were good. Plot: interesting, soundtrack: good. Needs more world buildin/expansion beyond the appartment.
Still, there's been plenty of good oness I've read/watched recently incl Heaven Sent (Doctor Who sadly the sequel was SHIT), Erased (interesting in that it didn't stick to the typical time machine formula and good symbolism/direction/music) and Hyperion (GOAT story especially with the Shrike, the Tree of Pain and the anti-entropic time fields and the Time Tombs which run backwards).
Looking forward to SG;0.
>>141200382
I'd severely disagree with a few points on both but I did play the VN first, the anime cut a number of things for time that probably would've improved your score.
>>141200382
The VN addresses the points you say were missed. Though, I wouldn't say S;G had an existential horror theme going on. Maybe a light sprinkling of it, but Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child are much closer to that than S;G is.
I'm somewhere in there, what about you guys? Good times

>Promised infinite timelines and what we got was were three timelines.
If you expected "infinite" variation you misunderstood the in-universe mechanics and then found fault because of your incorrect assumptions about the story it would be.
>SERN was a shit villain never learned anything from the repeats and didn't surprise Okabe
Because time travel had occurred. How could they possibly use information they can't have access to?
>Time leap machine was always there for Okabe to 'go back'. Never once did he fail to do so: it was too convenient.
No matter how much you try and alter a sequence of events, some things must happen.
>Time machine was a black hole microwave. Stop with this.
This is just nitpicking a fantastical element of a story.
>The time travel is bland as a fuck. There are no interesting paradoxes with far reaching consequences at all.
Paradoxes are impossible under Steins;Gate's mechanics.
>There is no confrontation of the morality of using time travel.
The morality of using the technology is discussed. Not to mention that a lot of Okabe's inner turmoil is related to the morality of tearing things away from his friends in his quest to save Mayuri.
>There are no unexpected consequences other than a bunch of NEETs showing up at your door for meddling in time travel.
Except for everything other than the Rounders showing up.
>There are no consequences for making the wrong mistake within each attempt.
The entire story is about desperately scrabbling to fix the consequences of a series of terrible mistakes.
>>141164225
I could never get past the outlandish premise. This guy is an absolute sperg and still manages to surround himself with beautiful women? Who constantly try be around and talk to him? Made the whole thing seem totally contrived and retarded.
>>141202822
He's actually pretty handsome and a good bloke under the chuuni shit, and all the girls are as fucked as he is in their own ways.
>>141202822
Notice how the women he surrounds himself with are also complete spergs.
>>141203107
>>141203082
>the world is so full of attractive autistic women you're literally tripping over them when you go outside, and they decide to talk to you

>>141203276
One of them is a full autist childhood friend, one is the coworker of said autist friend, one's mission was explicitly to find him and gain information from him and one (from the perspective of our 'prime' Okabe, at least) was, well, it was more than him being a harem protag and falling face first into her tits, that's for sure.
>>141203390
>one (from the perspective of our 'prime' Okabe, at least) was, well, it was more than him being a harem protag and falling face first into her tits, that's for sure
Well he did grope her a little at the beginning. Even then she only showed up and stuck around because of her curiosity being piqued despite her incredible disdain for him.
>>141203550
He poked her cheek and felt her hair. A little weird but I'd argue 'groping' is too loaded a word.
Never watched it. I don't go by /a/s opinion too much and make my own judgements. But I'm watching Aria now.
>>141203570
It's entirely possible my recollection of that scene is faulty. I haven't read it in a little while now.
Was pretty boring. OST was okay, though.
Is the VN better than the anime?
Steins gate was good. Just plain moe was polluting it with Tuturu, nyan nyan, and tsunderes.

Vampire House: Totally doable

Do you have precognitive powers?
>>141208461

You're right about the tasty hand case would need a Di-Sword, the others can be done in a different way with the same result.

Couldn't you just spike their drinks or something?
Put some psychoactive substances into their body system and manipulate their behavior through suggestion.
>>141209036
Group Dive:Pretty much impossible even with brainwashing ( you need them frightened) and you can't coerce them as you are shooting a video
Pregnant Man: Totally doable
The Staking:Pretty simple, as technically only 4 people were in the scene ingame and knew about it. In reality you can do it yourself.
Vampire House: Totally doable
Brainless: Totally doable
Tasty Hand:Unlike the difficulty of the 1st case this could be doable with brainwashing, would require a lot a time. If you need to do it exactly ( a random person passing by )it isn't
DQN Puzzle:A chainsaw, maybe feed them to dogs to try to fool forensics. You would need a pretty big animal. Not impossible
>>141209075
>le reddid boogeymans
Anon, it's okay to like something that people who use websites that you dislike also like.
>>141209341
I think with enough suggestion and with a little help of illegal substances as>>141209279
suggested, the group diving is possible.
Or you could look for 5 volunteers who'd sacrifice themselves for the cause.

you're definitely a whiny crybaby from MAL but I'll still answer you
>a. Promised infinite timelines and what we got was were three timelines.
There are infinite timelines within an attractor field, which is more than a plot device used to contain the story. It's based on particle theory, which meshes nicely with the pseudo-science used in Chaos;Head, not to mention tying CERN even closer to the story. From a literary perspective, it forces the plot to only use major changes to a world line as the only thing that can change fate.
Suzuha/Titor said that a person dying only has a small effect such as 0.00001% on the world line, so running away with Mayuri would not deviate the timeline enough to prevent the events of SERN's rounders kidnapping the group and disposing of the people who are useless. If you missed this, I suggest you pay more attention next time. However, without the attractor field plot device, you would be complaining about continuity errors worse than
>c. Time leap machine was always there for Okabe to 'go back'. Never once did he fail to do so: it was too convenient.
The attractor field defined that he would always live, Mayuri would always die. The attractor field could have also required Okabe to use the time leap machine to get caught by the Rounders. We don't know this because the world line gets rewritten every time Okabe uses the Time Leap machine. There are many times where Okabe gets beaten up in the alpha attractor field loop but still makes it to the time leap machine, and the VN explores this even further. Even if Okabe killed himself, SERN would have kidnapped the other members and disposed of Mayuri because she knows too much.
>>141220478
Not autism, just freedom.

>The attractor field could have also required Okabe to use the time leap machine to get caught by the Rounders.

That video is just a song. I am trying to stay away from spoilers as well.

I really want to know what the fuck happened for the manga's translation.

The April Fool's Zero release claimed it'd be onJune or July 23rd or 24thI think. Somewhere around there. Don't know whether I should believe it or not though.
>>141164225
Garbage. I would've actually liked it if the anime had ended bitter sweet.
>>141243839
this was my exact impression
I still think well of it overall
>>141243839
>Boring and forgettable ending
You know that episode 25 was an OVA, right?

I'm trying to dig through the archives, but I can't find the damn thread the download link was posted in. I also can't find the twitter messages about it either now, and I don't have it on my hard drive anymore. Fuck.
Some guy left a link claiming to have found a leaked version of the English translation of Zero's demo release. There was a fair amount of effort put into it at least, and at the end after being rick rolled the text the guy who made it wrote claims something about a PC Eng release on a date.

Could anyone tell me the name of the song played in this?

The date was claimed as July 24th apparently. Some guy with the Twitter handle Horaegama was the one who helped make the demo. All posts relating to it are deleted now for some fucking reason.

It's "Messenger". The theme for Steins;Gate 0.
>>141249342
Thankyou so much. I've spent all day trying to find out the name of the song.

Does a PS Vita and PS3 emulator even work at this stage?
I just started the VN for S:G and so far the MC is really fucking off-putting. He is the most annoying prick MC I've ever had to endure, how is this story so popular?
>>141252864
Just stick with it. His behaviour does actually have an explanation and he'll grow on you.
>>141252864
He'll change in the later chapters
>>141252864
>I just started thing and haven't seen the vast majority of it
>How is thing that I don't yet have a proper understanding of so popular?
>>141252864
I started out hating him but eventually found it endearing, poor deluded fucker.
>>141252864
I watched the anime first so I just can't start to hate him
>>141252579
PS3 emulator with the jap version seems to work pretty well as seen on some youtube video.
For the PS Vita, nope
Anyway if a PS3 version comes out it's far easier to extract the text from it and put it in the PC version
btw
>4gb RAM for a fucking VN
