Years later and this is probably still the best anime ending I've ever seen. Why are there barely any other anime that tie up all of their plot points and loose ends in such a satisfying way? Is it an industry or writing problem?
>>
>>290529481
It's because Okabe and Kurisu are such good characters and its satisfying to see them together.
>>
>>290529481
Agreed.Nothing else has been able to move me to tears of joy

Nobody in the anime industry knows how to write except very few, that's why there is always writing hackery abounds most of the time. The important thing is just writing good characters and making the scenario work for what you want them to do.

using time travel to undo all your time travel is literally "it was all just a dream" with extra steps

>>290529481
It didn't have a single bad episodes imo. The first episode was so confusing in an intriguing way, like you know something enormously important is gonna happen you just don't know what. A time discrepancy and a dead character coming back to life. .It gets you attached to the entire cast and then halfway into there's that scene where Okabe starts frantically running back to the lab you realize they are in genuine danger.
It's an actual shame they are shamelessly milking a perfectly fine self-contained story. Sad.

S;G 0 and Elite are both so creatively bankrupt it's sad. I haven't tried the reboot but it looks disappointing too.

The ending is actually the worst part of the story, it's a not particularly earned deus ex machina that just conveniently solves Okabe's dilemma and helps him to escape all possible consequences of the story. It brought the whole story down to me from decent to bad.

>Why are there barely any other anime that tie up all of their plot points and loose ends in such a satisfying way? Is it an industry or writing problem?
It's because this was adapted from a visual novel with no serialization pressure.
>>
I genuinely don’t get the hype. I enjoyed the show I really did, solid 7, but people treat this like it’s a top 25 anime of all time and I just don’t get it.
>>
>>290532710
It's a top 5 anime of all time actually.

Top 2 for me but yeah. Contrarians being contrarian and all that.
>>
>>290531633
The ending is kind of shallow the more you think about it
>>
>>290532710
The VN is a 9 and there's a fair overlap in the fan base. It's also part of the larger SciADV series. The S;G anime is to SciADV what Fate/Zero or Fate/SN UBW are to Type Moon.
>>
>>290532989
I don't know why people think undoing all consequences of anything with time travel is a good ending. You can have a good story with time travel with it if meaningful things change and carry over and you can't just solve every problem with time traveling enough, but this isn't it.

Those are all archetypal, they all share a base underlying plot with no subversion. The protagonist messes with time travel recklessly with disastrous results. They then attempt to fix it, and in doing so gain better understanding of the world or learn a life lesson.

It would've been better if the characters were less strongly defined by just their quirks, as it is now the dialogue in this show was too insufferable.

S;g 0 is flawed for sure. It doesn't ruin the original for me but I'm done with the series now. I know a sequel is in the works and I'm simply not interested.

Complete faggotry.

So how many posts in this thread do you think come from that single anti-S;G schizo. He's the one who immediately started shittalking NGE btw. He's contrarian on every subject because he doesn't actually watch anime and only comes here to shitpost. You'll spot him doing this for all sorts of series that are popular on /a/.
>>
>>290529481
The OP song carries this anime. Without Hacking to the Gate it wouldn't be even a third as enjoyable.

>I'm gonna dedicate my life to shitting all over a specific Japanese media on a dying image board with less than 100 regular posters
Bra...vo!! *Stands up and claps*
>>
>>290529481
I usually drop shows I dislike really fast, but for whatever reason I finished Steins Gate. It's probably still in the bottom quarter out of the anime that I've seen.
>>
>>290544416
>a specific Japanese media
Like I said, he's the same one who does this same routine for every popular show on /a/. I'm not sure if he's the original funnyschizo, but he took up that mantle and does the same thing for FMA. Obviously right above he brought out his NGE performance. He hates all anime and that's why he comes to /a/ to shitpost about everything popular without watching anything.
>>
>>290544303
Ping Pong too. And TTGL. I wouldn't put S;G anywhere in my top endings personally.

What are these Steins;Gays freaking out about now
>>
>>290544303
Eva, Aria, Lain, Haibane, Utena, Tutu...most good anime are obviously better
>>
>>290544492
He's been around for a long time, and he tries to start flamewars between said series. See all the "Code Geass/Eva/HxH are better" posts
>>
>>290529481
More like a reddit problem of people overrating shows like the OP
>>
>>290544750
Okay but what if those shows are actually better?

I'm getting tired of fags losing it because I think Bebop is better written than this slop. This is not a samefagged opinion, get over yourselves.

>>290544824
Wouldn't be calling it schizoposting if it only happened once. Posting the same thing in every thread related to the series since AT LEAST 2014
>>
>I'm n-not aggressively samefagging
>>
>>290529481
The ending itself is fine but it could've done a better job justifying the whole conflict and even the lead up to the ending. There's a lot of contrivances that had to be made to get them there.
>>
>>290529622
Yeah Geass definitely mogs S;G. but there are too many posters now who weren't around back then to see the spectacle.
>>
>>290529481
Kurisu is the only good character and the only reason why this ending works
>>
>>290544885
The individual episodes of Bebop are better and more memorable, but the overall story is basically non-existent. Majority of episodes add nothing and you could skip them without even knowing as all they do storywise is hint at Jet and Spike having a sad past whilst cementing Faye as a selfish cunt.

Is there even any point to characters like Daru and Faris? None of them even had any part in the ending. Just useless characters that add hardly ending to the plot and with only the most basic personality.
>>
>>290544910
A lot of the shit I took for granted as cross board leakage between 2012 and 2020 has been revealed to be one or two insane shitposters since the post-2020 board decline dropped the number of unique posters so precipitously. It became very easy to notice the same person doing this day after day with nothing else on the board to obscure it.

>>290545734
Feyris' character is a defense of the place and purpose of moe in otaku communities
>>
>>290545734
Daru at least has a lot of screentime and has a sizable part in the story. Faris and Ruka meanwhile have basically no involvement except for one specific plot point. Oh yeah there's also Moeka who only exists to end the common route slice of life stuff and get the story going.
>>
>>290545734
Daru created the time machine and hacked into Sern while Okabe stood around doing nothing
>>
>>290545734
Everyone besides Okabe and Kurisu is just kind of a bad character.
>>
>>290545891
>Daru at least has a lot of screentime and has a sizable part in the story
Would've been nice if that was one of the girls instead of the fucking fat pervy otaku archetype. I don't know why anyone likes these kinds of characters.
>>
>>290545930
If you don't like these kinds of characters, anime might not be for you. Seems like you'd prefer some normalfag media made in Hollywood.
>>
>>290529481
It's not anywhere close to the best endings of all time, watch more before calling something the best.
>>
>>290545963
I have no problems enjoying a good westshit cinema movie.
>>
>>290545896
S;G would've been better if they just had Okabe do those plot things and just cut out the useless character completely. I've never liked characters who only exist to hack into shit and other door-opening type functions.
>>
>>290530605
Man, when people comment on Steins;Gate Zero I'd really like to know if they're commenting on the VN or the anime since they're so different.
>>
>>290545930
The story needed a companion for Okabe at the start of the story who helped him establish the lab. Can't exactly have been some hot nerdy anime girl as that would have clashed with Kurisu making the show into some love triangle shit.
>>
>>290529481
>shallow fix-it ending
>good
This kind of end isn't always bad but you can do better than this.
>>
>>290546048
>I've never liked characters who only exist to hack into shit and other door-opening type functions
That's like half or more of the cast in this story which is why I never thought Steins;Gate was any good.
>>
>>290546093
>who helped him establish the lab
>>
>>290546048
Daru makes it have a nice balance so it doesn't feel like a lame harem series
>>
>>290545734
>>290545896
Daru created Amane
>>
>>290546093
I'm complaining about his looks but the main problem I have is his function in the story. He doesn't do anything truly meaningful, and none of the things he does do couldn't have been easily downloaded into other characters.
>>
>>290529481
tatami galaxy has more fulfilling themes and did more with less time.
>>
>>290546048
Daru also acts as some comic relief and helps round out the cast(literally lol)
imagine it's just Okabe and Mayuri at the start; does Okabe go to the conference alone and send Mayuri the text? Who's alongside Okabe and Kurisu during the first 1/3 of the story to balance out their clashing personalities?
>>
>>290546182
>Daru makes it have a nice balance so it doesn't feel like a lame harem series
S;G kind of still already feels like a lame harem to anyone who doesn't get easily misled.
>>
>>290546327
That's problem of Luka not being a real character for the first half and then switching teams for the second half
>>
>>290546305
That anon is dumb. Mayuri is the useless one of the main cast
>>
>>290546362
I completely forgot that Luka was a guy, ugh. Might be better if I hadn't remembered that bad plotline though.
>>
>>290546447
>I completely forgot
I guess you're rather easily misled
>>
Best girl is Mayuri btw
>>
>>290546305
>to balance out their clashing personalities?
That's the point of Mayuri being there to make Kurisu feel more at ease in the lab as well as an explanation for why the lab is mostly neat and decorated instead of a complete mancave. One of the important things is that the lab is a nice place to be at hence people come there which wouldn't work without Daru and Mayuri. Of course Mayuri quickly shifted roles to become the damsel in distress later.
>>
>>290529481
What are you talking about anon, even Your Name had a better version of this ending.
>>
>>290546305
The problem with Daru is that he doesn't really grow as a character at all in the original. He has a function in the narrative and he has characterization, but we don't see much change in how he acts, even in Suzuha's chapter after its revealed he's her father. He gets development in Zero, but it's still a problem.
>>
>>290546711
yeah I won't deny he's the weakest character out of the cast. I wonder what he'd send as a D-Mail, would it be interesting?
>>
>>290546763
It would be for some dumb shit and you know it.
>>
>>290530168
>>290532710
>>290536798
I basically assume the fag who keeps making these breathless OPs all the time is a falseflagger, because the alternative is even sadder.
>>
>>290546815
Steins;gate worship is a strange and confusing thing, it's true.
>>
>>290546843
I've seen enough redditors calling S;G the best everything of all time unironically that I no longer doubt the stupid posts.
>>
>>290546815
The schizo makes bait threads for the shows he hates if a natural one doesn't get posted often enough, then shitposts in them.
>>
>>290546711
That's a pretty good point actually. Did he ever struggle in any way? From his point of view everything was just him being a supah hacka helping his quirky friends who started acting a bit weird at some point. Then again side characters in VNs only exist to help the main cast along so it's not like this is a worse case than any other VN.
>>
Time travel continues to be a sloppa genre.
>>
>>290546893
>I've seen enough redditors
Gee, I wonder how you saw a lot of reddit posts
>>
>>290546930
Reddit is not just a website, it's an attitude.
>>
>>290546895
I've seen enough Steins;Gate sychophants in my time to not just write the blind worship off as schizos. But people will believe whatever they want.
>>
>>290529481
It's an okay ending. Not best of all time material though.
>>
>>290529481
>TFW no redhead nerdy GF
>>
>>290547016
I'm not writing it off, blind worship and anti shitposting are two sides of the same schizo coin. For all I know it's two separate schizos shitflinging at eachother and making any actual SciADV discussion impossible. That actually sounds worse desu.
>>
>>290546968
Apparently browsing reddit and complaining about reddit are your entire lifestyle, which would explain why you don't have enough time to watch any anime
>>
>>290530052
>mediocre protagonist
Compared to fucking Shinji?
>>
>>290547116
She's a filthy tripfag
>>
>>290547193
Shinji is a pretty well written MC with depth, he's just really whiny and cries a lot. Okabe doesn't do that but he's shallow in comparison.
>>
>>290546913
He freaks out and calls Okabe a piece of shit for not helping or looking worried when Mayuri dies in one of the loops, but other than that not really. Part of it is because of all the time leaping resetting everything. He's also not the worst character by a long shot. Luka could be replaced with a cardboard cut-out for most of the story with no changes. I don't even dislike Luka, but he's the shy trap miko and doesn't get any characterization beyond that.
>>
>>290529481
I don't get the hype. I gave the show a fair shot but it's just not compelling and feels like I'm expected to care because the main girl uses 4chan? It's just pandering.
>>
>>290546913
All his struggles get erased by time leaping. There's that time when he learns he ruined his daughter's life and caused her suicide because he didn't fix her time machine right but it gets undone like 5 minutes later
>>
>>290547193
Shinji is a well-written character. Okabe is not. Learn the difference.

Boring plot device of a character
>>
>>290549277
The characters in steins;gate always get praised for being the best but I thought they were shallow garbage for the most part. Only Suzuha had any kind of nuance despite still being just another tomboy.
>>
>>290529481
I never cared for Steins;Gate.
>>
>>290549395
It does become obvious after awhile that everyone in the story only has 1 real personality trait plus one or two extra quirks which are what passes for depth in this story I guess. The real appeal is the plot anyways, not the weak characters.
>>
>>290549418
You're missing out. On mid.

Yeah I know, I actually watched the whole thing against my better judgement.

That's just overhype from newfags that don't know any better.

This anime was garbage, I didn't even make it to that supposed masterpiece of an ending.

The ruined the series with S;G 0 anyways so who cares at this point
>>
>>290552031
0 takes place before this ending retard
>>
>>290552094
And it inserted a bunch of dumb poorly written plot points in between that nobody wanted or cared to know about.
>>
>>290530191
Okabe drags down the story by being an infuriating idiot for most of the length of it. SG would've been much better with a different protag.
>>
>>290545734
This show has so many shitty supporting characters that exist for almost no reason. It makes no sense except that it's a VN with some kind of obligatory route format.
>>
>>290529481
S;G has exactly one scene worth caring about and it's not this one
