Do you think the story has aged well? Do you still consider it to be an anime classic?
>>290864167It's still easily one of the best anime of all time, yes.
Kurisu is so amazing it's unreal.
>>290864167I rewatched it a couple years ago and didn't enjoy it as much. The dialogue is just not as fun now.
>>290864336It's the exact same dialogue from back then you retard
>>290864303Best girl in the whole universe for real
>>290864167The plot has too much time travel hackery in it. I coild excuse a lot of it in 2011 but I don't think I'd enjoy the show if I watched it again today.
Why did they make John Titor into a highschool girl?
>>290864167>wears a lab coat>not a real scientist
>>290864565You wouldn't get it.
>>290864167They made a remake for the visual novel just recently right? Is it worth picking up?
>>290864167I still want to have sex with Mayuri.
This shit was never a classic.
>>290864621The art is better than the original, so yes.
>>290864167El psy kongroo
>>290864167It has always been shit and reddit the animeOnly got traction because Large Hadron Collider was in vogue at the time
>>290864167S;G is a better time travel story than 99% of western time travel shit you can find
>>290864546Welcome to anime, enjoy your stay.
>>290864809>The art is betterWhy do you lie to him?
The real truth is that the series stopped being a classic after S;G 0. At this point there is far more bad story in the series than there ever was any good.
What is she thinking about?
>>290865807Nothing going on up there
>>290864167Subaru > Okabe
>>290864303Her design is really hot, that definitely aged well.
>>290864167Everything related to the SERN plot is half baked and stupid since they are almost a complete non-entity in the story and the show essentially has no compelling antagonist.
>>290865701For me 0 was when it because clear the series was being written by hacks. To be clear the original SG already has some flaws but was still able to tell a coherent story. With 0 we get characters like Kagari and plot threads that go nowhere, it's so shit.
>>290864167>You will never have a group of friends as cool as the Future Gadget LabWhy live?
>>290865807Probably knitting or getting groceries or something mundane like that
>>290864167>reddits;gateIt's been baby's first time travel slop since it aired
>>290864167>half of the characters are irrelevant filler>half of the episodes move at plodding speedThis show was average quality to me at most.
>>290866162>>290866212>The filtered contrarians have arrived A shame.
>>290864167I don't even remember what happened. I know I watched it a long time ago.
>>290864167It's just as good as it was when it came out. What is with fags and this "aging well" shit?
>>290866476>It's just as good as it was when it came outAgreed it's still mediocre to me.
>>290864196FPBP
>>290864167The story would've been better if they fixed the pacing issues
>>290864303Not even the best anime tsundere.
>>290864167I never really understood how a story can "age" desu
>>290864167Okabe is my hero
EL
>>290866959I don't think S;G has aged as much as it just doesn't hold up as a story once you sit and think about the plot for awhile.
>>290864167I only care about Kurisu.
>>290864167They should've just ended the series while it still had dignity instead of milking my releasing slop after slop. I guarantee if that sequel ever comes out it will be shit.
>>290864167>plagiarism >classicIt can't be both, and in this case it's objectively plagiarism.
>>290866009The actual antagonist of the story is Kurisu's dad who is probably the shittiest character possible to have as your villain.
>>290865355Edge of Tomorrow was far more enjoyable and had a better MC too.
>>290868701>SERN>shitty dad>le World War 3The antagonists in Steins;Gate are kind of shit tier if you think about it.
>>290868839You don't have to think about it, you just have to watch the anime and it's plain to see. But I never got the hype with S;G in the first place.
>>290866878Name a better tsundere then.
>>290864167>Do you still consider it to be an anime classic?It never was one. The show gets overhyped by pseuds badly.
>>290868839You didn't expect good writing from a plagiarist did you?
>>290869005Looking back on it I definitely should've lowered my expectations for SG going in. It really doesn't live up to the huge amount of hype it gets.
>>290864303this
>>290864167Steins;Gate is not a classic and I'm sick of newfags pretending that it is. GitS is a classic. LotGH is a classic. Not this.
>>290869202You should have picked something actually good like Rune Soldier.
>>290864167Yep, rewatched it like a year ago, still holds up perfectly.
>>290869068I had high expectations because of its reputation, but they basically evaporated by the third episode and I saw that it was just Genshiken but sci-fi.
>>290864546Why did they make her father a fatass loser?
>>290864621It's too expensive for my taste.
>>290864373>It's the exact same dialogue from back then you retardYeah and it's cringe as fuck now. Okabe and Kurisu are speaking nyancat style memes out loud and I'm supposed to think it's funny or charming or witty?
>>290869005The story didn't plagarise anything you retard.
>>290869264I already picked 2 shows that are far better
>>290869497It's a direct copy of a Yu No arc, a vn that comes out before it. The story isn't generic enough to get away with copying like that without people noticing.
>>290869562Tastelet.
Okabe is almost as bad of a protagonist as Subaru.
>>290865807She's thinking Tuturu.
Do Ruka and Faris do anything useful in the story or are they just pointless filler characters?
>>290869919They're filler. Even characters like Daru and Mayuri are quesionably useful to the story since all they meaningfully do is hack things and die respectively.
>>290869410You're supposed to think they're cringe because that's the entire point. Okabe is a literal chuuni and even a group of antisocial autists think he's cringe. People who were referencing memes out loud irl back then weren't considered cool, they were tools. So no, it's not even that the jokes aged poorly, it's that the lab members were indeed meant to be seen as cringe weirdos. The few times the lab members interact with somewhat normal human beings (professor nakabachi, the black guy, the tv shop owner), they are visibly weirded out by their faggy behavior.
>>290869919They both help him find the IBN 5100, although Faris arguably helped way more. If they were to cut characters Luka would probably be first on the chopping block, he gets no meaningful character development and serves next to no story purpose other than being the token trap.
>>290865701I hate S;G 0 so much.
>>290868701Nakabachi is one of the worst anime villains of all time. Actual cartoon villain that you would find in slop like SAO.
>>290864167I dropped the anime after a few episodes. As far as I'm concerned it never held up.
>>290864167It's just another haremshit show with a pseud fanbase that thinks it's more then that
>>290870634What's worse is that the fanbase thinks the show is so smart when every character in it acts so stupid. I never understood that because S;G is no more intelligent than some of your run of the mill seasonals.
>>290864167>reddit;gate>classic
>>290864167Yes, yes. Faris best girl.
>>290864167Chima chima light still radiant, of course the Torigate can't suck it.>touhou>rezero>CodeGeassChima's temple is where the upside down xenosaga zohar is bright and warm with low long twintails energy
I simply did not care for steins gate.
>>290865355It doesn't even come close to Primer.
>>290870992Good taste.
>>290864167It's a 6/10 story. Not bad but anyone who thinks it's a classic needs to watch more.
>>290870678I wish they had given a better reason for sern tracking them down than just okabe being so stupid that he handed out the time machine for everyone to use. It strikes me as an extremely poor way to set up the plot.
>>290864303I dislike the show, but the character designs are amazing.
>>290872065I need Suzuha's spats on my face.
>>290868839Someone pointed out the WW3 thing before and how out of nowhere it is, and I've had a hard time taking the show seriously since then.
The original was pretty good. the stein gate zero or whatever was horrible and kinda ruined the original however though
>>290864167>show has MAYBE one good character >newfags call it a masterpiece Getting real tired of seeing this happen so much.
Tuturu
>>290864167Summertime Rendering mogs it.
>>290870634>harem>exactly one (1) love interest???
>>290873030So true
>>290864167The only thing that really aged well is kurisu design, she hard carries the van so fucking hard they made a remake in the first place
>>290873127STR has some flaws but at least it doesn't have a retarded fake smart MC like this show does.
>>290864167I like it a lot but if you ask me the plot and characters are very contextual and most of it wouldn´t work or even be understood without being at least a bit familiar with early 2000´s Akihabara and otaku culture. It will probably become more alien as time passes. That said as time travel plots go it was really good. None of the other "character is trapped inside an infinite loop of suffering" plots comes close at the very least.
>>290865701I actually liked s:g zero.. because of the anime, I am a tragedyfag at the end of the day so sad scientist was extremely enjoyable to watch.
>>290873862>character is trapped inside an infinite loop of sufferingI don't think S;G is even the best one of these plots in anime let alone in all of fiction.
>>290864621No>>290864809Retard
>>290874017I was clearly referring to Re Zero, slime and jobless anon. The comment was never meant to imply it was the best in all fiction, get your head out of your ass.
Subaru is a better MC than Okabe
>>290874218Listen here you little shit...
>>290864167>Boring Garbage: The AnimeDo not ever call this a classic again.
>>290874218Based opinion. God I hated okabe.
>>290864196Now watch more than 5 anime.
S;G 0 was such dogshit it retroactively made S;G worse
>>290864167The show is just a rip off of the Time Machine and multiple other predecessor time travel stories that already did the same kind of story better than this one did.
>>290871628That's about how I feel about it years after watching. I think S;G is kind of overhyped and doesn't look all that good in retrospect, though it's not an outright bad show by any means.
>>290864167They needed to spend more time on character development. They used 12 whole episodes to build up the plot and just filled it with SoL shit, and by the end of it every character was still a one-dimensional cardboard cutout.
>>290864444Attractor fields are possibly the biggest asspull I've seen in time travel fiction and there is a lot of stupid shit I've seen.
>>290864565He's a larper
>>290865807She isn't thinking about anything because she's a mindless do nothing character. All she contributes to the story is dying for the plot.
>>290864167>Do you think the story has aged well?No.
>>290864167The character designs are the only thing about this anime that I like. The plot is bunk.
>>290875625Half of the characters are just as useless as her.
>>290875928Okay, so? she's still just a plot device.
>>290864167Not even the best time travel anime

Normal books are better.
>>290864167I watched it back in 2011. It was okay.
>>290864167I don't think I've ever been so bored watching a highly rated anime.
>>290864373Yeah and the dialogue was cringey back then and it's still cringey now.
>>290864167S;G only works if you resonate with the references and internet culture the characters are using. Otherwise it's just a wet fart of a story.
>>290865355No it's not, you retards just hype up this show because you don't watch enough to know any better and realize it's not special at all.
>>290864167Both the anime and the visual novel are overrated, Steins tards are delusional.
S;G has one of the most pretentious fanbases in anime so I'm personally happy to see the turnaround in /a/'s opinion on it over the years.
>>290864167There are maybe 2 good episodes in the whole show. how can it be a classic?
