Modern anime is simply incapable of creating main characters on the same level as these two weirdos from 2011.
>>284663580I'm still waiting for any anime to create a main character as interesting as Okabe
Alma-chan's parents were like dorks but successfully reproduced (imouto was tuturu)
And what level would that be?
>>284663789Peak banter and character arcs
>>284663580>Modern is simply incapable of adapting VNsHow come?
>>284663889Anime could never adapt vns, S;G is like the one of two good vn adaptations ever made.
>>284663936Yeah but they don't even try anymore.
>>284663580Neither of them are that interesting. Have you really never heard of a tsundere before?
>>284663580>TFW no kurisu gf
>>284663580Steins;Gate's characters are shallow as hell. They entirely revolve around one character archetype and nothing else.
the past should be left in the past
>>284663580Why has no recent anime reached the levels of Stein;Gate?
>>284664262Well the present sucks and the past is better.
>>284663889Simply nobody bothers trying anymore.
>>284663580overrated meme series
>>284663580The S;G adaption is really not that great and I don't know why it's rated so highly. The VN remains excellent but the anime aged like milk.
This series has been ruined ever since S;G 0.
>>284664434Name one better main character.
>>284663580true there hasn't been characters on this level of awful again
>>284663580Anime creators stopped knowing how to write sometime around 2018. The industry has never recovered from it.
>>284664198I need her in my life.
>>284663936S;G, ufotable fate, clannad, angel beats, higurashi, nukitashi
>>284663580same level of annoying and insufferable
>>284664885Angel Beats is slop
>>284664474The writers are hacks and don't know what to do with the series except making a dozen shitty spinoffs.
>>284664885Angel Beats had too few episodes and Higurashi is fucking terrible compared to the VN, only the first arc was well adapted.Clannad, S;G and Yosuga no Sora are the best VN adaptations. School Days too if you ignore the harem shit in episode 11.
>>284663580Suzuha is the best
>>284663580I've seen shounenslops with better characters than these two.
>>284665581Like... ?
>>284665638Boku no Pico
>>284664885>ufotable fateYou can't create a good adaptation when you're not working with good stuff material, anon. Fate/stay night is awful.
>>284665638Endeavor, Gojo, and Makima all clear OP's characters.
>>284665690I guess this anon has never read or watched anything that wasn't published in Shōnen Jump. Endeavor is a mediocre character at best, and Gojo isn't particularly well written at all and is only popular because he's cool—which is a perfectly valid reason for a character to be popular, mind you; only Makima is especially interesting among the three characters listed here. S;G is flawed as fuck but the character writing of its leads is far beyond any of those characters.
>>284663580Docta Pibber
>>284663580They were the only characters in Steins;Gate I liked. Not that that's necessarily horrible, because the show centers around them anyways.
>>284665762You're sleeping on Mayuri and Daru.
>>284663580This is just a basic chuuni and tsundere though
>>284665784I think they're pretty whatever, honestly. Mayuri had a few touching moments with Okabe, but Daru is just fat hacker man. Maybe the VN expands on them a bit or something.
>>284665927Your tastes are pretty whatever.
>>284663789The level of having solid character writing unlike 99.9% of anime characters.
>>284663580Good job then that modern anime has significantly improved.
>>284663580Okabe and Suzuha were the only characters that were even remotely tolerable
>>284663936And the anime still isn't worth watching over just reading the VN
>>284663580Kids these days are so devoid of personality that any defining character trait is strange and alien to them.
>>284666527Are you claiming that Okabe and Kurisu have no personality?
>>284663580quirky protagonist, that has a serious sideand generic as fuck tsunderehow the fuck is this your benchmark?
>>284663580>Reddit;Gate
>>284666813but she calls him a hentai 5 times per episode, so funny!
>>284666813I think some of you retards might have missed some nuance somehow. Both of OP's picks are great characters.
>>284664434This this and thisSteins Gate is so fucking overrated, its insane
>>284667003The contrarian retards on /a/ don't need you pointing out their media illiteracy. They're busy watching LotGH and reading Phoenix because they're above pleb shit.
>>284665511Best girl of all times.
>>284663580Anyone who still thinks this series is good after the mess that was 0 deserves what they got.
>>284664514I dropped the show because Okabe was so fucking bad to listen to
>>284667247You got pushed out by the retard filter.
