Steins;Gate - Generic Discussion Thread

[Icy.Tear]

Ah...At one point I was seriously considering buying the XBox just so I could play it earlier.

I'm doing it again for the sequel.

All comes down to personal opinions. I can't stand Dog Days, but I'm absolutely head over heels in love with Steins;Gate.

... This is very ironic given what I've read you write about Madoka Magica while it was still airing.

Steins;Gate is an outstanding anime show, in my opinion. Definitely my favorite of the Spring 2011 season. Good sci-fi with genuinely clever and witty dialogue, and fun and interesting characters.

Answered already in the last two pages. Madoka Magica's Homura and the main character of Sumaga, all Nitro+ works.

The middle one is Akemi Homura, from an anime called Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I highly recommend it.

The girl is Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica. And as someone else pointed out, guy on right is protagonist from Sumaga.

Finally, time travel.

Absolutely fantastic episode, I have to say! All of the ones before 7 were comprised of character interactions, often having very little to do with time-travel... but episode 7 flips the dynamic over completely. Okarin ponders the results of his experiment and draws a brilliant conclusion by himself. But neither he nor the viewers know everything about time-travel... and that's what keeps me interested. Some of our questions are answered, but even more arise. What is Divergence 1%? And why would Okarin, possessing the unique ability to retain memories of quantum shifts, be able to lead the world into Divergence 1%?

Episode 7 Rating: 9.5/10!!

The era of Mass Hyspeculah is yet again dawning upon us.

So far we are dealing with Okarin 2.0 no Alter!Users as of yet.

Rofl @ the troll (I know who it was but w/e) who gave me a neg rep while calling me a troll who posted for no reason for what I posted. There was a reason; the post that was driving the discussion then... the post about losing faith over humanity because Dog Days was more popular than Steins;Gate.

And to the rest of the guys hating on me for that post, I clearly said "while some of us find this entertaining" implying that I FUCKING LOVE this show. Sigh. That was as objective a remark as it could be from me and not some hate post. Idiots QQ. I mean, the guy was talking about losing faith in humanity over the popularity of this show. Heck, Hyouge Mono is truly stellar and it enjoys no popularity whatsoever. Thus popularity of a show is a petty reason to lose faith over humanity. And my other point was that Dog Days is lighthearted and optimistic, which is actually preferable to be popular from a future of humanity perspective. I am a morose cynic if anyone ever was and I am as compatible with Dog Days as an Yokozuna with a bikini. I never said it was a better show than Steins;Gate or that Steins;Gate was bad per say. I only said it's less than stellar and not a good enough show to lose faith over humanity because humanity can't appreciate the show. To begin with, most people in the world see little value in true art. Geez.

And Mr. Kismet Chan, VNs usually get really bad adaptations so I wouldn't cross my fingers. And I boast no VNs but Ever17 is a pretty good one. Ironically, 5pb. (they did Steins;Gate) are going to remake it

Nice pic there (o^_^o)b

I wouldn't mind seeing more nitro+ goodies, especially Muramasa

[Used Can]

I've been listening to a series of loops with several of Okarin's quotes and hell, I cannot get tired of them. The one about the jungle... that was pure genius right there.

I think we have to call it FD (Fan Disc) instead of sequel. I'm not that interested in moe-moe FD.

@ken FF
your user title in Japanese is...incorrect.

買って来いこいヨ = incorrect

買って来いヨ(よ) = correct

I did google with "買って来いこいヨ", I got only your posts.

Madoka Magica

BTW a certain part of Madoka Magica's story and a certain part of S;G's are completely same.
Well, Urobuchi is a member of Nitro+ as you know. So it's no problem officially, even if 5pb is a substantial creator of S;G.

what do you mean by ironically? I thought most of the staff from KID, except the writer, migrated to 5pb? What's wrong with doing a remake of their old title?

by the way, think the remastered Ever17 will be released in July IIRC. Asakuwa Yuu said something about it on twitter roughly a week ago.

@revivw4563: Thanks for pointing out the typo! (^^)b
Gotta change that soon then

Well, this is the internet. People can get worked up over their fav title and implying stuff may go over their heads. Gotta be straight and to the point so that no misunderstandings occur.

[applejuice]

^ Humanity? orz... seriously, humanity?.... >_>

Anyway, the latest episode finally promises huge storms of plot development that is upcoming. Many questions are being presented as it is answered at the same time, and they are doing it very professionally. Directions are very good most of the time, though some directions are are a bit too old and cliche.

Anyway, HahaKana = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@

(dog days is awful show)
