Steins;Gate - Generic Discussion Thread

[kyosak]

Sorta off topic but is Chaos;Head worth looking into?
How would you guys rank it vs. Steins;Gate?

[Leo_Otaku]

well I haven't played Stein's gate it ranks #3 on erogescape for non eroge of course. I would say that is a good indicator of a great game! The anime of Chaos; Head was hmmm not quite that great XD

[FatPianoBoy]

The Chaos;Head anime was dreadful. I've never been so bored by something so interesting.

[Mizuno]

Rabid fans will tell you Chaos;Head anime never existed.

[kyosak]

Haha seems everywhere I look that anime gets hated on xD
Guess I'll check out the game

[gecd]

overall steins;gate is better than chaos;head
what steins;gate not have is final epic battle

[Reckoner]

I didn't realize the director of Texhnolyze is co directing this project. Hype increased by 300%

not surprising really, VN tend hard to animate if you give them very short amount of time.

[kyosak]

Yup definitely.
And to me, that makes shows like Clannad shine even more. It could not have been easy planning out an animation of such a long game with multiple arcs into a '1 way road' series.
Though to be fair, that one got 2 full seasons (what was it like 25 episodes per season?) to work with.

I really hope this much effort is put into Steins;Gate because this epic story really deserves it I'm gonna be mad if they spend like 1 episode going over Suzuha arc! Anyways good luck to White Fox and the director! Don't make it end up like a certain other show *lookin at you Fortune Arterial

Hah, I'll believe that when I see it, but I'm guessing this has a decent budget behind it for him to even say something like that so it's nice to hear.

[MisaoFan]

Steins;Gate can't be 1-cour, neither will be 2-cour, so they ignore the number of episodes for this moment.

[j0x]

they claim the animation will be like a movie, alright im looking forward to it more, and i hope they are not trolling as im a sucker for high budgeted animation shows

[RRW]

well if i look at the preview, it seem they try to use the lighting technique that movie use.

Gamewise

Chaos;Head>>>>>>>>>>>Steins;Gate

animewise, well Steins;Gate hasn't come out yet no?

but Chaos;Head anime was far inferior compared to the game.

I wouldn't know how it stands as an anime alone since I played the game first and judge it by that context.

I'm checking out Chaos;Head right now (only on chapter 3) and I didn't realize it was connected to S;G in more ways than just the location.

Like people already mentioned, it's not a direct sequel so there's no reason to go out and watch/play C;H beforehand, but it would've been pretty cool to be familiar with some things from C;H before going into S;G!

Spoiler for such as:

Know who FES is. Recognize that the card game theme song is a Phantasm song. Recognize that Gero frog thing.

All of a sudden, those text messages from Feiris were not so pointless after all, lol. There's probably more to that list since I'm only on Ch3 for C;H.

The above reason is really not a big deal (just a little easter egg thing at best), and I dunno if the S;G anime will be impacted like that, but you guys should just check out the C;H game anyway! Can't hurt right

Steins;Gate 1st episode premier report is very, very positive.

-there was edited version of 1 episode (no OP, ED was credit only), +part of 2 episode where Ruka's appearance take place.
-70~80 people was there
-It seems like this was getting a lot of attention, surprised there were so much reporters are there. Probably more than 30?
-Sex ratio of attendent was about Male:Female, 9:1.
-PS3 was used for the premier
-A-part: 最初の世界線移動まで、B-part: 助手と会場で再会まで。アルパカ、バナナぶにゅぶにゅ有り (hard to translate...)
-Screen Atmosphere was exactly that of huke. It has original game's atmosphere.
-I was able to see 'movie quality'. There was stability of the illustration, preferring animation than stop-pictures
-Used BGM of original game. Bell-ringing tone was exactly same.
-in episode one, it seems like they were focusing on tempo, so some complexed explaining conversations were omitted intentionally.
-Even though it is 1-episode, all important fore-shadowing were being shown as it should. Hanazawa said; "1 episode is basically covered all over with foreshadows".
-There were scenes that wasn't in original.

-Highly satisfying episode overall

Already about 9500 people are following the official twiter of steins gate, 5400 are following steins;gate anime twitter.

11：千代丸さんにアニメの出来について アニメ化で劣化するのを黒歴史と言いますが、シュタゲは絵/動きとも良く、劣化していない。
　特にオカリンの動きは厨2的に白眉。スタッフが厨2を分かっている #SG_anime
12：OP曲『Hacking to the Gate』について→千代丸さん PC用、PSP用と個別OP曲を書いたのでネタ切れ感も(会場爆笑)、だがアニメ版は『スカイクラッドの観 測者』に近い感じで書いた。

Glad to hear Steins;Gate preview has been reviewed well as I loved the original game. Wouldn't it be awesome that Nitroplus staffs are involved in making both the #1 and #2 series of 2011
