Someone being depressed is fine. But it's understandable if we, as the audience, simply get tired of it, when it's the same thing every single episode with no end in sight. HELL, I think we got at least two places where we've thought he was going to start doing something, anything and yet, come next episode it's all the same.
Constant same ballkicks might hurt, but after a point you stop feeling them you know.

And thus I keep asking almost every other topic: What is it you want him to do then? Most of the time all I hear is "do something" or "look for a way". But what reason have you to believe that there even is a way, other than the fact that you know how this will end?

Okabe being depressed for this long within the story is fine and makes sense given the traumatic events he went through. However, 18 episodes out of 23 with him like this is just way too long. They should have had the timeskip sooner.

Well, you see, that's exactly what this story should have been about. Okabe wracking his brain to search for a solution, experimenting and failing over and over again until he finally reaches the answer we know he will reach. The final episodes are probably going to cover that, but it's too late.

But what is the conclusion he's supposed to arrive at? How is he supposed to reach that conclusion? What reason does he have to believe that it's even possible? If you say "infinite possibilities", you know that only counts in a conventional "multiple worlds theory" universe. S;G revolves around convergence.

I don't even know what point you're trying to make. We already know the conclusion he will arrive at. How he will reach the answer is what this anime should have been about in the first place. What reason does he have to believe it's possible? Because he doesn't have any evidence it's impossible. The absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence.

My point is that if there is nothing to show then there's no point making a 23 episodes series about nothing. They could have made the story much more interesting if mid-series they made Okabe realize that whining all day isn't going to make him feel better. Quote:

Anyway, last ep, future Okabe notices a slight shift in worldlines and sends a D-Mail back. Might this have been the change caused by this ep's events? Strange present Okabe's Reading Steiner doesn't kick in then though

Easier way to think of WLs is like a Boolean expression, Alpha WL condition for example would have an expression of: {Mayuri death condition=Yes IF D-mail >= 1, death date = August 15 IF D-mail # >= 5} in relation to the SERN dystopia anchor; any other condition would follow standard probabilities (for example, chance of being hit by train for average person = 0.1). When the conditions for Alpha WL no longer exist due to changes in conditions, the Beta WL would have its own expressed conditions.

Anyway, since you're so convinced that there is somewhere to look and/or something to look for, then why can't you just tell me what one or both of these things are? Am I not allowed to know what you know? Or is it that you think it's so "obvious" you can't conceive the possibility that I'm not seeing it? Or is there some other reason? Am I asking the wrong questions entirely? Quote:
Now, I only know how I myself operate, so maybe it's different for other people. But I tend to only act when I have some hope. If I do not, I don't. I don't usually go looking for hope either. That doesn't mean that nothing ever changes though. Sometimes I gain hope from some external event that makes me see the world a little differently than I did before. |
