Re-watching the scene where Suzuha is eating the cake, and I just had to make a quick edit to the scene.

Just Google "Kurisu T shirt." There's also a grey and black version.

Haha. Thats awesome!

Ah shit.

Spoiler for addition:

and in Oriko Magica. That Moeba can get killed...and throw a sharp object straight to Mayuri.....;____;

This is the last reminder:

Do use a properly-labelled spoiler tag if...

• ...you are comparing this show to any other show
• ...answering questions about current or past events using the source material
• ...comparing to other adaptations of the source material
• ...posting about a new episode if you're watching the raw before the subs are out

Do not use a spoiler tag (just post right in the thread) if...

• ...you are posting speculation (and have no source material knowledge)
• ...you are posting images (use thumbnails and post them right in the thread; don't post large images)
• ...you are posting about an episode that has already aired in English (including the current episode)

Do not post at all in this thread if...

• ...you are going to reveal any future events from the game
• ...you are going to give any hints or "nudges" about what to expect in coming episodes
• ...you are speculating on future events using game knowledge
• ...you are going to post a "retort image"

I trust this is sufficiently clear, but more details can be found in the Spoiler Policy. From now on, please expect warnings and infractions to be issued. If you're not sure if something requires spoiler tags, please feel free to ask any member of the staff before making your post.

Thanks...

Okay, I'm glad it wasn't just me. I just felt kind of bad since Mayuri was being killed and all and most of my thought process was "HOT DAMN LOOKIT THAT GIRL IN BLACK LEATHER" up until she pulled the trigger.

Lol the LHC itself is the lifter.
And no I don't know how a TV can 'lift' the same as the LHC. I know that both the microwave and the LHC generate mini black holes.

And to whomever said about not using the Leaper.

Geez! They just completed it in the last episode and everyone is getting taken away? Of course he's going to use it next! Isn't that one obvious?

DMail Limitations - Can go any distance in time (roughly 20 years) can send 18 chars. Uses Microwave
Time Leaper Limitations - Can only go 48 hours in the past, sending the memories of 4tb with it. Uses LHC

Now the better question , is Kurisu working for SERN or what? I want to see Moeka go up to her and kneel down or something.. haha
I can't believe that SERN is just plugged into Okabe's house. Is it that stupid Lama game? Was it REALLY looking at them?

Question to the mod...
How do I post images as thumbnail?

When you upload an image on most any image host (including Imageshack), a "Thumbnail Forum Link" is one of the options they give to you. You just have to copy/paste the code they give you into the forum and it'll automatically create a clickable thumbnail. Almost every other image host is the same.

For example, the image posted above would give you something like:

And when you put that in the forum it turns out like this:

Will do. Does that mean the 4-koma gaijin memes are frowned upon too?

I think you are misunderstanding it a little bit. I don't know if it's different in the VN, but according to ep 12, time leap uses the Microwave.
Kurisu-tina's explanation went like this (at least in my sub) - her machine reads the nerve pulse signals (memory in the brain), then encode it to electric signals - which have the size of 3.24 TB. Since the Phone Microwave can only send a little more than 36 bytes, there is a problem with the data size, so they send it to LHC, generate a black hole to compress the data to ~36 bytes, then send it back and use the same method as D-Mail (aka using the Phone Microwave) to send those data to the past. LHC works as the device to compress data, not the one that sending data back to the past (the microwave), so they would still need the TV to be on to Time Leap.

That's what I got, too. Plus: the 48-hour limit is a limit of the brain biology, not of the technology: if the brain states are too different, the transfer won't work (or might drive you mad).

What I don't get is:

a) where do they send the data to? I mean what's the phone number of your brain.

b) How does the brain receive the data? Do they envelope your head in an electromagnetic cloud? Talk about a headache...

c) How does the brain extract the compressed data?

Oh, well. No point thinking too deeply about this.

Also, does receiving future memories maybe create a "reading Steiner" (through intertemporal quantum entanglement, maybe?)?

Finally, are we sure Mayuri is dead? What's with the watch which is sent flying and we get a shot of it broken? Is that a reminder that it stopped earlier, symbolising time run out, or are they pulling the old object-gets-in-the-way-of-bullet trick (bullet bounced off watch and grazed Mayuri's calves)? Just wondering about the watch, here. I do think she died, but the watch confuses me. (I mean she wouldn't be the first one in the show. Kurisu died first.)

Let's try answering these without spoiling too much.

Spoiler for Comparison to the Game:

I'm not too sure about the 48-hour limit. It might also be that Time Leap Machine can only be used to leap to 48-hours before the completion of the machine.

a. Time Leaping is similar to D-Mail. The data is sent to Okarin's cellphone.

b. I think someone in this board mentioned already that in S;G world, it is explained that memory is stored as EM waves. I think the data that was sent using Time Leap Machine as an EM wave overwrites our brain's EM wave, creating new "memories".

c. explained above.btw note that as soon as the memory data exits the LHC, it started to decompress at a rapid speed. fortunately there is still time to send that rapidly decompressing data to send it as a D-mail thanks to the fiber-optics connection they got. When it reaches the target cellphone, it would've already decompressed completely. This should've been explained already at this point

"reading steiner" is described as the ability to detect world-line change and carrying over memories of the old world-line to the new one. While similar, time leaping doesn't move you through world lines (unless of course you did something to mess the divergence enough). I think everyone is able to use the Time Leap machine. If you do move the world-line after time-leaping though, I expect only Okabe would've noticed it, even if he didn't time-leap in that world-line

Question guys...
What is this FB that Moeka is muttering about...

And I'm looking forward for Episode 13 because of this...

Okabe x Mayuri = Homura x Madoka (Even though I'm a Okarin x Kurisu shipper...)

Ok just saw the price. Now excuse me while I go cry in a corner since that's absolutely insane!

for those curious: it's 35 to 45 bucks!

Oh goddammit...

(for the curious... I'll be going to spend 2,500 Pesos if I decided to get one...)
