Is it time to admit that Re:Zero is just a worse Steins;Gate? The show is leveraging a time loop plot but has an awful main heroine and cringe inducing main character, and a large part of the story is just not well thought out.
>>288852774This was obvious even back when season 1 was airing.
>>2888527741/10 is worse than 2/10, sure
It is indeed time to accept that both of the titles mentioned by OP are shit and overrated.And that OP is a faggot who is trying to incite a console war.
>>288852774I don't think there will ever be a MC as good as Okabe ever again.It's not even that Subaru is bad, Okabe is just so good and feels entertaining and dynamic all the time.
At least we can agree that Kurisu is the best girl of all times
>>288852795Basically this.
Trans:Gate sissies gave up fighting Hunterscholars so now they're looking to beef with another (newer) series. Embarrassing!
>>288852774For all the faults that Stein Gates has, it is overall a better anime than rezero. Okabe does not have a parasocial relationship with the audience, nor does he promote sadomasochism in it.
>>288852953Who would want to fight a corpse?
>>288852774Nobody can match the power and confidence of a well spoken El Psy Congroo
we all know that, sherlock
>>288852774Going to be honest I wasn't a fan of either of those shows.
>>288852870I only disagree because of this hot and beautiful piece of ass.
>>288852774The only thing anyone needs to admit is that time travel is a peak genre and both of those shows are better than 98% of anime.
>>288852774Personally I think the writer is extremely creative, he knows how to make a narrative interesting without resorting to shonenspic fight faggotry and for that he has my respect.
>>288853158Subaru can't even begin to compare to Okabe as a character.
>>288852774Everyone already knew that
>>288852774>is it time to admit utter garbage only liked by cretins is worse than kinda mid VN adaptationYou need to be 18 to post here.
>>288853376Re:zero isn't that bad. Neither is Steins;Gate even, you're also underrating it by a lot.
>>288852774Re:zero would be good if it was centered entirely around Subaru dying and having psychosis every single episode. Instead there's these heroic arcs that nobody gives a fuck about because the show is not about that, all the great moments of the show revolve entirely around Subaru suffering excruciating pain over and over again until he figures it out and moves on. Season 3 and 4 have none of that so they seem entirely pointless and the previous seasons have their good and bad moments but in essence they stay true to the original intent, which is just shut your feelings off and do whatever you need to do shut the fuck up you stupid bitch nobody cares about the mediocre side characters and their foo foo feels, enough.
A Steins;Gate just flew over my house
Subaru just cries too much. he's not the worst MC ever though.
>>288852774Faris a best
>>288852774I don't know how people compare these two shows to begin with. S;G has an actual story it tells. Reddit:Zero has nothing but endless Emilia simping.
>>288852774S;G fans try to not overrate their story challenge: Impossible
>>288852774I dont think you even watched rezero
>>288852774Okabe is the best or one of the best protagonists that's why
>>288852832He's peak and its so strange nobody ever tried to make another character like him
>>288852774>worseS;G is pretty bad, Re Zero is just bloated
>>288855553Unfortunately we did watch it.
EL
>>288852774Re:Zero is a better* Steins;Gate
>>288853483True, the loops where everything works out are always not as interesting as the ones where he fails.
I'm going to be honest both of these series are Reddit and I don't care for them or understand what all of the praise is about, in either direction.
>>288853948But what does that mean???
>>288853028Summertime Rendering is better than both anyways.
>>288852774I feel like I've seen this thread before... oh my god, are we stuck in a time loop?! damn you CERN!
>>288852774Subaru is a good main character. He has cringe moments but that's part of the point.
>>288858470I also found Subaru yo be far more sympathetic than Okabe too. Okabe as a person has no self awareness so I hated his antics.
>>288852832>It's not even that Subaru is badYes he is
>>288852795FPBP
>>288852832Theres other factors to itAnime cutting his internal monologesSomeone in the anime comitee thought Subaru was a "literally me" character back in S1 and made sure to make feel other people thatIts really easy to see Subaru is insane since the beggining and the anime failed to convey that until Arc 2 when everyone that didn't like when he suicided to save the twins started to moan that "i would never save them after they both killed me" or rightfully call Subaru retardedSubaru was done dirty from the start They did good with what they could, but they could ahve done so much better
>>288852774Both of these shows are mid at best.
>>288852774>Is it time to admit that Re:Zero is just a worse Steins;Gate?they have nothing in common, anon.Re:Zero is a fantasy isekai with a gimmick, while Stein's Gate is a period piece.
>>288856438>WeOh I see. Stories about people going insane hit to close to home for you.
>>288858620Tell me when you manage to emotionally mature like subaru did.
>Getting a lot of Stein’s Gate vibes from this…
>>288852795No because in season 1 the fucker actually died
>>288852870Best tsundere of all times, always
>>288852774Time travel is so damn boring.
>>288860357I would be nice if Steins;Gate fags would watch their second time travel fiction.
>>288852870I want sex with Kurisu so badly...
>>288852992So true sister.
>>288852774Nobody who has watched any time travel should think Steins;Gate is good in the first place, it's the most basic bitch time travel story possible.At least Re:Zero has other things like world and characters going for it.
>>288852870Not even the best tsundere of all time t b h
>>288852774Emilia is garbage, we know
If the main characters switched places how would things change?
>>288864314Subaru would get easy mode
>>288857879In many ways Summertime Rendering feels like an answer to Re:Zero, showing how someone who isn't an idiot like Subaru would use time looping powers and how to create a challenge for someone like that.
>>288852774Why do S;G fans all have this unbearable pseud attitude about them?
>>288852774Don't care, Subaru is still my favorite character.
>>288852774>Is it time to admit that 3/10 is just a worse 5/10?Sure I guess.
>psued epstein gate faggots shilling their forgotten slop non-stopyou lost, get over it
I'M DOING MY PART
>>288865955reddit gate vs reddit zero in the mal tournament. this is the worst shit that i have ever seen. and I really liked steinsgate, a great show, sadly the fanbase is full of faggots
>>288852774I thought everyone agreed with that practically from day 1.
>>288852774Rem by herself is better than every steins;gate character put together.
>>288852774I think it’s time to admit that Steins;gay fans are caught in a time loop of seething about Re:Kino over and over again. Even when it ends they’ll continue to seethe about it for ten years at least.
>>288852774S;G is better because it has hot tomboy Suzuha in it.
>>288864835But then the plot ends prematurely since so much of re:zero hinges on either Subaru being mentally retarded (or him getting lobotomized) and his allies being mentally retarded. Summertime Rendering itself had to come up with a lot of bullshit and still ended in 100 chapters (manga) since the characters were all decently competent.
PSY
I BEEN RUN AWAY
>>288852774>Re:0 keeps getting new content but it's shit>S;G tries and fails to stay relevant through endless remakesWhich one suffered a worse fate?
I think re zero has better written characters, Okabe is the only well written character in Steins;gate, whereas even secondary characters like Julius feel a lot more humane in their actions and thoughts in re zero
>>288865738Basically
>>288870409Your feelings =/= facts.
>>288870409Kurisu is better written than all the characters in Re:zero. I don't understand why new fans like rezero so much. I guess it's because it's another thriller with twists for normalfaggots.If you only watch battle shonen or crap like this and you started reading 5 years ago, how the hell do you dare talk about what is or isn't good writing?
>>288864314Okabe would be as faggot as subaru if they switched places, whoever tells you otherwise is delusional.
>>288852774Steins gate anime is really just a giant sleight of hand.The entire premise is to shove so much trivial bullshit and make you forget what happened in ep 1 so you can go, "OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT!! PEAK WRITING!!!", during the reveal.And not going to lie, it's really a good trick but there is no reason to ever watch it again once you know it because it's just a giant time sink.
>>288872767If you forgot, you're a fucking retard. Episode 1 sets up a mystery that's then resolved organically and develops (almost) all the characters well. I don't understand what happened after the wave of new fans and the hate for this anime, honestly, and the fans are still just as annoying and dumb.
>>288872767This. It's a very shallow mystery, they set up 3 episodes hacking on cern at the start, and then it's just SoL bullshit, they get attacked in the middle, there's the mayuri subplot, then some more bullshit with the side characters, until the mystery of ep 1 is suddenly relevant and revealed again at the very end.
>>288872767What are you talking about? You can watch it once and understand everything, what is this trick?
>>288852774Steins;Gate doesn't have a shitty haphazard plot that's why
>>288872767it's called foreshadowing bruhnext you'll say Yhwach being mc's bankai was a trick too
>>288872986>Solits buildup>mayuri subplot???You need to be 18 yo or older to use this website
>>288870368S;G had the worse fate by ending up with a shitty fanbase obsessing over it.
>>288852774Hot take, Rem > Kurisu
>>288872767Agree with this. The worst part is that if you've watched multiple time travel stories before you can see exactly what it's trying to do right from the first watch of episode 1, it's so predictable and unsubtle as fuck.
>>288874463Cope contrarianfag.
>>288874803Hot take Urushibara > Felix
>>288852774Did one of these character take inspiration from the other?Not only is their design somewhat similar but their personalities both have a similar flavor of autism.
>the anime which constantly references image boards is redditThis is your brain when you're a pajeet
>>288875232They are animated by same studio plus tappei mentioned he plays visual novels. They are definitely inspired by each other.
>>288875285shingeki is pro-genocide and it's the most popular anime on tranneddit.
>>288852774Okay but have you considered that Rem is pretty awesome?
>>288852774Squaring off two mid anime against each other
>>288852774>Re:ZeroThis shit is still going? I lost interest after that one season where nearly every episode was nothing but 30 minutes of dialogue
>>288857623This.
>>288852774The modern anime "community" is fucking dogshit. I still don't know or care about half of these fucking side characters. And why are all of them so godamn smug all the time, ffs. It's literally every fucking character, they're all smug for what reason?And then Subaru gets tada banri'd and then he gets his memory back in the final ep and everyone claps. Am I the only one in thinking that was just a giant waste of fucking time?More lewd Beatrice to keep me interested, please
>>288878266I want more Ram
>>288872468>Kurisu is better written than all the characters in Re:zerono shes not, I am not partaking in some fanbase war here, I like steins;gate a lot, but Subaru is a pretty well written character, I held re zero in high esteem the moment he had a crash out back in season 1, and after the current season I think he just might be better written than Okabe himself.there is so much more to his character beyond just experiencing pain due to time loops, I honestly cannot say the same about Okabe, and no, being quirky is not good writing.Okabe is defined by his suffering to contrast his quirky funny self with his tormented version as the show goes on.Subaru as a character is recontextualized as the story progresses, you just see him in a different light not because he keeps dying, but because the writing explores different facets of his being, especially the amnesia arc in the current season.
>>288878768Calling Subaru better written than Okabe has to be a joke. Subaru is a cringelord character, and he doesn't have even half the nuance that Okabe shows through the story in the way he relates to his chuuni delusion.
>>288852774Their differences are way more than their similarities, might as well compare Fate vs One piece.
>>288879028Subaru has no chuuni delusion, he is an average dude who got transported into another world, he is socially awkward but not autistic enough to be called chuuni, the chuuni shit actually takes away from Okabes character.the reason I consider Subaru to be a better written character is precisely due to him being a cringelord as you put it, in the first season he is completely out of his depths, and who wouldnt be? he just saved everyone in two consecutive arcs thanks to his power, anyone would feel like the center of the world after that, but the story completely humbles him and he is put in his place after countless failures, he learns to rely on others, he learns to value his life, he does not hide his fear of rejection behind layers of irony anymore, he essentially grows as a character.I really cannot say the same level of nuance applies to Okabe as a character, the suffering is simply there to give us a contrast between how cheerful he was at the start and his depressed he becomes through his loops, but once the problem of the looping is finally resolved, can you point out to any difference between episode 25 Okabe and episode 1 Okabe aside from the suffering?
I personally like ReZero more than Steins Gate but ReZero is also just doing different stuff at a bigger scale.
>>288879436True when you put it like that, i realize okabe is barely a character, he doesn't really change. Maybe if you count the future okabe. Subaru actually changes.
>>288879436This is not me by the way >>288879548All Subaru does is make stupid mistakes and whine. He has no charisma like Okabe, he isn't cool like Okabe, the only way you can like him or relate to him is if you are also a loser and then he will seem deep to you.
>>288852774Nothing can match Based;Gate
>>288852774So how is the new season of rezero?
>>288852774>cringe inducing main character, and a large part of the story is just not well thought outthis unironically applies to S;G as much if not more.
>>288882083>trying to drag Okabe down to your jeet level because Subaru is too much of a loser for you to acceptThis won't work as well as you think it will.
>>288852774S;G is the better story between the two. Though both are bad, watch more anime.
>Reddit;GateThis shilling is almost as bad as Frierenfags
>>288852774I just think that Subaru is actually a good character, I know that's an unpopular opinion but whatevs
>>288853359Well I dropped steins;gate after about 8 episodes. Meanwhile I'm still watching re:zero, so I think that speaks for itself.
>>288874803This is a based take and you're completely right.
