>he thought the first half of the show was boring
Is there a bigger sign that someone didn't really understand Steins;Gate than this? There is so much important story and character work that goes into the first 12 episodes.

>>
>>285229094
I know the story has foreshadowing and shit, it's still boring and it's dumb to blame the viewer for that if they gave it a fair shot.
>>
There will never be another main character like Okabe ever again.
>>
>>285229094
Those people don't understand character development, simple as.
>>
>>285229385
And that is a good thing.
>>
>>285229094
You retards are trying so hard to rehabilitate this show's first half when it's still a snorefest that ruins the pacing of the whole story. I don't care how good your second part is if I had to slog through shit to get there.

If you had just a bit more awareness you would realize this perfectly describes both shows.

Kurisu's character design is the only good thing about this show.

I actually hate the back half of the story more than the first part because the way time travel works in S;G is retarded and contrived as fuck.
Attractor Fields arbitrarily doing shit is the only reason why the story works at all.

are you saying that because it's terrible or because it's better than the show

At the beginning the first part seemed like boring shit, then I saw what a banal piece of shit the second one became and the first one retroactively got better, I call it the Shits;Gate effect

What's actually wrong with it? Cute girls, comfy slice of life kino, some light mystery in the air. Without this setup the tonal shift in the second half wouldn't mean anything, you wouldn't care about the characters or anything that happened.
>>
>>285232356
I mostly agree except that even the last episode is some overly convenient easy way out ending that approaches deus ex machina territory
>>
>>285231244
No one fucking cares about your gay VN recommendations, I don't even care about SG VN. VN's as a medium is dogshit. If source material isn't a manga or novel its not worth engaging with.
That being said, the SG anime is still good. Not a masterpiece, but definitely good. If you say differently chances are high you're just a contrarian larper.
>>
>>285233080
But I watched it beginning to end and still didn't care about the characters or 90% of the things that happened.

>>285233172

It is a masterpiece and I won't listen to anyone who says differently, whether they are a contrarian or a bargaining fag like your post sounds like.

Yep, you are gay.

The character work just wasn't very effective then because I never ended up liking the characters themselves despite the plot being somewhat interesting. It dragged down the whole experience.

The first half was better actually.

The first 11 episodes are the only ok part of the show, after that the show shits itself ignoring its own rules and is the worst thing you will ever see.

>I feel sorry for the people who can't see that.
I agree with you except for this. I don't feel sorry for them at all, they are just idiots and their screeching is barely deserving of anyone's time.

Kurisu and Okabe is the best anime romance of all time.

Steins;Gate is exactly like NGE; if you can't see how it's a masterwork from the first episode alone, you have no clue what you're talking about
>>
>>285241813
NGE is better than this shit, Steins Gate has horrible character writing.
>>
>>285242126
Yeah of course NGE is better, it's the GOAT. The point is that it should be instantly obvious to anyone with eyes properly trained through otakudo that Steins;Gate is great from the first episode in the same way that it's apparent as soon as you see five minutes of NGE.
>>
>>285242227
I think comparing Steins;Gate to NGE overrates what Steins;Gate accomplishes as a story by a lot.
>>
>>285229094
>Is there a bigger sign that someone didn't really understand Steins;Gate than this?
Why does every half-witted imbecile think that Steins Gate is a particularly deep show? Everything is spelled out a dozen of times, it's literally baby's first time travel story
>>
>>285229441
S;G barely has character development at all, the characters are all very one note and shallow.
>>
>>285243326
It's not even that Steins;Gate is necessarily the deepest show but that the people who watch and then complain about it are often so stupid and can't understand anything that they are watching.
>>285243329
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
>>
>>285243326
I doubt you understood all of the implications of the worldlines system just on your first watch
>>
>>285229562
All you post about are the girls because the idea of sexing them is the only part of this show worth caring about.
>>
>>285229094
I had to drop this show after 6 episodes, there's just not enough happening in the story and it waited too long to get good.
>>
>>285243329
I think Ruka is the only character in the story that didn't outright infuriate me and even then I don't think he's that good of a character.
>>
>>285229094
This anime has like 2 good episodes at most.
