I have never seen an anim go from a 7/10 average show to a 10/10 so quickly. Is this the best example of an anime turning on a dime so quickly?
>>291404997Ep 12 of Steins;Gate is peak anime, it's all banger episodes from there on out

>>291404997i barely remember anything from steins;gate so i dunno
Is there anyone who suffered more than him?
>>291405194Time to watch it again then, or read the visual novel like we've been asking you to for years.
>>291404997somebody post that face she makes before she gets hit by a car
>>291405090This, but with a picture attached.
>>291404997This is actually the part where the story goes from a 7/10 to a 4/10 because of SG's time travel hackery.
>>291404997>Is this the best example of an anime turning on a dime so quickly?Heavy Knight ED for cour 2.
>>291404997tuturu
>>291404997Death Note episode 2 was more exciting than this one.
>>291405120This. The whole attractor fields concept is fundamentally retarded and boils down to Mayuri must die in every timeline and it cannot be changed even with time travel because the writer says so. Even by time travel standards this is awful writing.
>>291404997It was 10/10 from the start unless you're a newfag though.
>>291404997This made me laugh out loud for how retarded that was. The show was good, but this particular moment served as a prime example of unintentional comedy.
>>291404997It would've been a decent moment if I cared about Mayuri at all or if she was an actual character
You SGfags are lucky Muv Luv is a VN only otherwise its big moment easily btfos this one.
>>291405211the anon who keeps necrobumping s;g threads on /a/ has definitely suffered more
>>291404997Watch more than 5 anime
>character...gets shot and dies>also we will immediately rewind time to undo itHow is this a 10/10 moment?
>>291405823lol
EL PSY KONGROOOOOOO
>>291405194>alzheimers anon
>>291404997I felt nothing watching this episode.
I'm struck by how shallow all the characters in this series are. Am I supposed to like them because they use 4chan and go to maid cafe's? Is that it?
>>291405607ask me how I know you have autism.
Faris a best
>>291406269Now you know why only redditfags loved it.
>>291405286I want to rub on her stockings...
>>291404997Steins;Gate is one of the most overrated anime I've ever watched.
>>291406269I wish the show had spent more time developing the characters.
>>291404997>7/10>averageI can tell you don't watch many series
>>291408843He's definitely a newfag.
>>291404997>mindless moeblob girl dies>10/10Do you have no standards at all? What is special about this scene?
>>291405211the people who watched this show
>>291404997>that was the whole payoffWhat a waste of time this was.
>>291404997Watch When They Cry!!!FACT!!!
>>291405211>Is there anyone who suffered more than him?I keep meaning to watch the other series that follows the version of him in the future dystopia, so is it as good as the OG?!?FACT!!!
>>291405475>"I FUCKING HATE THAT WRITERS ALWAYS WRITE!"
>>291411036More like he hates when writer fail to properly justify core plot points in their own story.
Nobody who has read Chaos;Head should be surprised at how much of a hack this writer is. 2011fags genuinely thought a girl just randomly getting run over by a train was the peak of anime.
>>291404997Higurashi mogs this trash
>>291411288Steins;Gate would've been better if they had developed Mayuri more before killing her off like that.
>>291411629It's too bad that Mayuri is nothing more than a plot device since her death is the most important thing in the whole story.
>>291404997People like to praise the atmospheric directing in S;G but visually I found it to be pretty dull looking. I wouldn't even remember what this scene was if you hadn't put the anime in the pic title.
>>291412080The direction is just lethargic, washed out colors, slow pacing, and a fake mature aesthetic that the writing doesn't live up to. Personally I bounced off it.
>>291412257Yeah It's very boring to look at. Maybe the story could've made up for it but it doesn't quite reach that point.
>>291404997You are very easily impressed I think.
If you think Steins;Gate is "uneven", you're a nigger retard.
>>291412441It's more than uneven, it's shallow as hell.
>>291404997This scene has no weight because he literally just time travels to undo it, and then later gets a perfect ending where every issue is perfectly solved. Nothing was earned.
>>291412665It's just a shallow kid's story ending, like a Disney cartoon. Nobody watches Steins;Gate for depth or meaning.
Re:zero did it better.
>>291412846Of course it does, Re:Zero has character development, which this series is sorely lacking.
I deeply dislike this series and its fans. It did not have to be that way.
>>291412846reddit:0 is dogshit gay diarrhea for crying faggots talking about friendship and all that gay shit stfu lol
>>291413151>reddit:0You mean Steins;Gate 0 LMAO
>>291404997People swore this anime would become amazing on episode 12 and all I got was this nothingburger.
>>291413184You're one of those mentally ill homosexuals that has no friends but read the reddit sub zero novels and now that you've become so invested you gradually morphed into a schizophrenic religious zealot on the anime internet space. Just put the pills in the water and isekai yourself
now you can watch the series and its legacy get raped
>>291404997So are you people just automatically impressed by time travel or what. This is just a normal scene, doesn't even compare to any of the greats.
>>291413384The series deserves it at this point, watching the franchise get ruined with all of these shitty spinoffs has completely exhausted my love of it.
>we had a gas leak that time. The silent killer.
>>291404997Mid anime with a bad fanbase, the worst combination.
>>291413520To be fair that describes a lot of anime, but definitely also this one.
>>291404997The second part only works because the first part takes it´s time to do a proper build up. There would be no point to it if the audience realized too quickly when and where things started to go wrong and how that resulted on losing the IBN, didn´t know the characters enough to care for the world line switches and stuff like that.
>>291404997I feel like this scene is only thrilling if you're a newfag to anime.
>>291413639I still think the build up is lacking. It felt like I was just supposed to care about the characters because I was forced to spend 12 episodes with them and not because they were actually well written or particularly likeable characters.
>>291404997It goes from a 4/10 to a 6/10.
I wish they had done something more interesting with time travel than just this.
>>291414123Seeing the plot devolve into a time loop was disappointing. It wasn't even that good or thrilling of a loop.
The show's biggest sin is just being boring most of the time
>>291404997In recent years, Dark Gathering.Even in the beginning it was a in interesting idea with some fun characters and cool moments here and there, but I would not rate it much higher than a 7/10.Then came the graduate episodes about 11 episodes in and shit went very hard all of a sudden. Utter kino.
>>291404997Not impressed by the death of this cardboard character.
>>291405120This
>>291414423That's why I dropped it, from what I can tell I didn't miss anything worth watching.
>>291414490I'll try watching this i guess
>>291404997They overhyped this twist fr
>>291416741It falls so flat because every character is dogshit, there's no one to cheer for.Feels like such a soulless story and the shitty art direction doesn't help.
>>291414423I watched all 24 episodes and felt nothing.
>>291404997>Reddit;Gate
>>291404997I only care about Ruka.
>>291417791You are gay.
>>291404997What were the threads like when this air
>>291405211the guy from cloudy with a chance of meatballs got an anime??
>>291414123That would've required a way better writer than whoever made this show.
>>291414123Steins Gate is just a cheap Time Machine ripoff, they never had any original or interesting ideas.
>>291419053Yeah. I've seen time loops way too many times by now. S;G is enjoyable in a very basic way but it feels very rote and predictable, like a Demon Slayer almost but with weaker pacing.
>>291404997Does reddit still worship this dogshit?
>>291419696Unless they grew some taste in the last few years they probably still do.
>>291405211Steins;Gate fans, but to be fair they deserve it.
>>291404997I finally got around to this anime after years. It was okay. I think I was expecting more than it ended up being and if I had gone into it with less expectations I would've enjoyed it more.
>>291404997>>291405015Watch more anime.
>>291412665I liked how the ending felt while watching it but it really was just an asspull in the end. It definitely wasn't actually earned by any of the characters.
>>291405603The first three episodes are insufferable, anon. I dropped it then and won't wait for it to get good on episode 12.
The show never explains why all of these supposed geniuses always act so dumb whenever they are on screen. Really took me out of it.
>>291421118You didn't enjoy the "scientist" main character acting like a manchild for the whole story? Blasphemous.
>>291421152I wonder if I would have liked the story more if they had just said up front that Okabe and friends were retards and did away with the science persona of the characters. They can still invent the time machine by accident. That might've made for a better anime.
>>291421277The story would be less pretentious at least.
>>291405015Why do you lie?
>>291404997Mayuri is just a shit moeblob with no other personality. This cannot be a 10/10 moment.
>>291421746That's why for me it's a 6/10 at most. The moment at least, the show overall is like a 5/10 because it gets worse from there.
>>291405789Forgetting something? Muv Luv got its Anime and it was a shit show and the big moment had almost zero impact.
>>291404997people with this opinion usually are newfags who didnt like the first half entirely because they didn't understand the 2chan otaku references and thought it was boring because they didnt know there was supposed to be a bunch of humor... since it all flew over their head aside from the super obvious chuunibyou jokes, so all they remember is the super obvious chuunibyou jokes which are the worst ones
Sorry, I can't empathize with an MC this obnoxious.
>>291422270The character writing is definitely S;G's weakpoint. Maybe a better writer could've saved it.
>>291404997No, Sayonara Lara is a better example but in the complete opposite direction
>>291404997Steins;Gate fags have devastatingly low standards if this is your idea of a perfect scene.
>>291422598S;G fans are a bunch of schizo retards staking their lives over an overrated piece of shit.
>>291404997The anime actually gets worse after this point somehow.
>>291422621I've seen Steins;Gate fags spend hours spamming threads of other anime out of jealousy, as if that accomplishes anything besides making people hate Steins;Gate. Actual lobotomized fanbase.
>>291422270Me neither, I just wanted to punch him. Didn't feel bad at all when shit started to hit the fan and didn't care about the dumb reasons why he started acting chuuni.
>>291404997Steins;Gate is shit.
>>291405855kind of ironic for you to say
>>291408660I wish you had watched the show, that is literally most of it.
>>291411371no correlation
>>291404997this is not a 10/10 show but definitely over a 6, all these fags hating on it are just jumping on the s;g hate trend that is going on right now. It should be known as decent, not the best.
>>291404997My watch stopped working...
>>291423187Ultimately it's a contrarian trend to the autists that can't shut up about it lately for whatever reason.
>>291423187I can see someone giving Steins;Gate a 7 but 5 or 6 is a completely valid score for this anime, it wastes so much time on nonsense and has plenty of flaws on the time travel side on top of that.
>>291423187>decent, not the bestThat's how I view it as well. I still think it's quite overrated regardless of whatever hate trend you seem to be referring to, this anime gets worshipped regularly all over the anime watching internet and I don't think it really does anything to deserve it.
>>291424631S;G is wildly overrated outside of this website. There's a fair bit more hate here but I think it's still mostly balanced and closer to how the show ought to be perceived overall.
>>291404997There's no point where this show ever becomes a 10/10.
>>291424997I was waiting for it to happen the whole time and it never did. Still don't get what the hype was all about.
>>291425085It's just overrated and I find the fans to be obnoxious just about any time I encounter them.
>>291425143So about those obnoxious fans...
it's the only episode I enjoyed. most of the story felt like the main character doing busy work.
>>291405603I'm with >>291421032 . I dropped it years ago after like 3 episodes. Someone was like "it gets good at ep 6!" so I picked it back up this year. Watched it to ep 6, and it was still pretty bad. Now I hear it gets good at episode 12. Even if true, if half the season is bad that's still a problem.
Okabe is the best character of all time
>>291425085My thoughts exactly. FMA has this same issue. Just mentioning it is enough to attract a bunch of schizos and /v/-tier contrarians that try too hard to fit in.
EL
>>291426640He's not even mid-tier.
>>291426768What’s weird is that I’ve noticed someone actually trying to make threads about the FMA animu (not even giving a shit about the games) and S;G (using the visual novel) in /v/. One is obviously the fma schizo and I’m willing to bet it’s the same case for s;g
>>291404997Best part of S;G was watching this annoying bitch die over and over again. The whole show should have been just that.
>>291405475>not intelligent enough to understand a "canon event" in a time travel settingWatch more anime
>>291427872canon events are retarded hack writing if there exists no other explanation than "it happens just because". It was stupid in Spiderverse and it's stupid here.
>>291404997This is one of the only good parts in the entire story. It drops back into nonsense almost immediately after that.
>>291426768I actually like FMA though. I'm not inherently against popular things, I genuinely think Steins;Gate is lacking as a story, for a lot of different reasons.
The scene is good because Mayuri is a best girl
>>291404997I felt more emotional watching some parts of fucking Chainsaw Man than with this.
>>291425085I've noticed this as well. I'm not sure if it's samefagging or some sort of raid or what. It's one thing not to like something but it's another entirely for the threads for something (which has historically been very popular here as evidenced by its multiple banners) to be filled with one-off posts about how bad it is. There's popular shit I don't like. I just don't post in the threads for it.
>>291428214Both are bad.
>>291428105Name 5. At least two sentences per.
>>291428295>has historically been very popular hereThis means basically nothing. The website is completely unrecognizable from how it was 15 years ago.Not saying Steins;Gate is good or bad, just pointing that out.
There's some stuff about steins gate that I like and some stuff about it that I really hate, and I can't help but daydream sometimes about my ideas of a different better version of this show
>>291428430I hope that better version in your head involves replacing every single character with someone more interesting.
>>291404997I think I was expecting more from this. It didn't even feel like a twist, just an obvious thing that was clearly going to happen.
>>291428214It felt like the show was expecting me to be devastated when Mayuri died but I felt nothing. It's a time travel show, it was so obvious they were just going to undo it.
Hello, co-conspirators.
>>291429234holy based
>>291404997Best OP.
>>291429284GOOOOOOOOOOOG
>>291429284kekmy sides
>>291429284Steins;Gays are reeling from this, geg
>>291429284Hidoi...
I'm thinking Higurashi won and Steins;Gate lost.
Reminder that Kurisu and Okabe are still not together in canon
>>291404997Was it really that hard to see it coming?
>>291404997This scene is a turd. Forced drama to the max.
>>291429796It do be like that
At least Kurisu is hot.
>>291431171The whole getting run over by a train scene is stupid and makes no sense.
>>291431683The only redeeming quality of the anime no joke.
>>291404997This stupid shit only happened because Okabe was randomly giving out the time machine for everyone to use. What a retarded plot.
>>291432723That's another thing that's weak about the plot, it only works by stringing together a lot of bad writing conveniences to create the situation the writer is trying to force.
Love kurisu
>>291404997Most anime with a character death do it better because they actually stay dead.
>>291432843S;G has bad fridge logic in this regard. The more you think about rhe plot the worse it looks.
Everyone knows the best scene is>Something about me getting stabbedThough >motherfuckeris also quite good.
>>291434958The meme scenes are the best, S;G does those well. It tends to drop the ball more when it comes to the bigger plot stuff I find.
>>291435013That's why the second half is garbage and worse than the first part. The show falls off hard when it goes deeper into the time travel story because the time travel was never well thought out.
>>291435013>Meme scenesWay to out yourself, neither of those are meme scenes.
>>291435146I was telling you, not necessarily agreeing with you.
>>291435214>I was only pretending to be retarded
>>291405211At least he didn't need to kill anyone with his own hands.
>>291413482kek
>>291429284More effort went into this edit than S;G 0's story.
>>291405211Guts did. And he's more of a man than Okabe ever will be.
>>291404997It doesn't work when I don't care about Mayuri.
>>291435551You have no soul.
>>291435694She's just a shit character, I don't get why anyone cared about his anime when her death was the focal point of the plot
>>291435967I don't get it either, I guess people like anything as long as time travel is in it
>>291436293Most normalfags have no standards which is why shit like this or FMAB get so popular.
>>291404997>animmang

Nice thread Steinsmongs

>>291404997>Groundhog Day but reddit>10/10
>>291437315I did enjoy groundhog day far more but s;g still does some good things like the unique protagonist.
>>291437657>uniqueUniquely shitty maybe.
>>291437784This.
>>291405211Me when I was watching this shit
>>291404997It went from an average show to a bad one at that episode and I won't be convinced otherwise.
>>291439323It's when all of the time travel hackery really starts
>>291421973Muv Luv has the better VN by far which is what matters. Steins;Gate is only popular because of the anime which leads to it getting overrated.
I didn't care for Slop;Gate but Faris is cool and deserves to be in a better show.
>>291414755Basically this. All blue girl does is act cute and then die for the plot. Cheap shit that anime does all the time.
>>291404997I'm disappointed at how most of the character banter in this series is like some cringe anime version of Big Bang theory. Maybe it worked better in 2011 but today it just sounds grating to listen to these losers talk.
>>291437315The anime is only watchable if you have no exposure to other time travel shows. The more you've watched beforehand the worse it gets.
>>291441885This whole anime is just Edge of Tomorrow but worse.
>>291437315"Tragic" time looping just blows as a plot device, meanwhile I think Groundhog Day is just good even if you've seen a lot of time travel.
>>291442141I should get around to watching that
>>291442706It's like Steins;Gate but with a better MC and without wasting time on bullshit.
>>291442769Yeah most of the episodes in the beginning felt like a waste of time. I know there was foreshadowing and shit but it felt very lazy.
>>291404997Okabe never telling anyone when it was so obvious CERN was starting to come after them felt stupid
>>291443051It was stupid, the story is a textbook idiot plot.
>>291443051>>291443156Did it matter? He figured out pretty quick that he couldn't save Mayuri even if he got her completely away from SERN. Her watch would stop and she would die, from some random cause if necessary.
Absolute, total, 100% impregnating creampie with Moeka
>>291443196>He figured out pretty quickHe didn't figure out anything quick, he kept looping over and over and it took him ages to come up with the genius idea of talking to anyone about it.
>>291404997This anime was a huge waste of time
>>291443390The episodes dedicated to all the setup in the beginning take way more time than necessary. It messes up the story's pacing and by episode 12 I was already checked out emotionally.
>>291443455The deaths had no impact because they don't mean anything. The story just undoes it.
For the first few episodes it's easily a 1/10 so I had to stop watching.I almost never drop a show, but here I really had to because it sucked so much.
>>291443700The Mayuri deaths just felt like a play for shock value because of that. I think I was supposed to feel something but it just seemed hollow.
>>291443718That's exactly what it is.
>>291443764Well it didn't work because it was so transparent and meaningless, no character development to build up into caring about the characters, and then no consequences after.
>>291404997The first half of Steins Gate was better.If anything it goes from a 9/10 show to a 6/10 by the ending
Why am I supposed to feel anything when they just instantly undo it with time travel?
>>291443869I never understood that either. Kind of a dumb show in that way.
>>291443869I really don't know, the Steins;Gate writer has already been outed as a hack so I don't think there was ever a plan for anything deeper emotionally than just the shock value of it.
>>291404997S;G is such dogshit
>>291405603I don't think any part of this show deserves 10/10. Maybe 7/10 if I'm feeling generous.
>>291444089The only character I liked even a little bit was Suzuha so feel cold about most of the story.
>>291443869Yes, the death was very dramatic, please clap now and we'll repeat it several more time for dramatic effect. You rike?
>>291444196Japs really can't write for shit can they
>>291444241Some can but this writer isn't one of them.
>>291444254S;G 0 was another level of bad so I believe it.
>>291444302It's a schizo(possibly two) self-replying, don't even bother
>>291404997Why should I take this ESL opinion seriously? There's nothing remarkable about that part compared to anime like Cowboy Bebop episode 5 or even shit like the Attack on Titan return to shiganshina episodes
>>291444360That one was just a hack job of stitching multiple different side stories together. It's poorly made but admittedly there's still a semi decent reason for it.
>>291443930The whole show feels like shock value. I'm supposed to be shocked because SERN is scary, and they're finding out about the MC, and then they shoot someone, all of this shit was predictable and not very moving because it's not back by developed characters or villains.
>>291444504It's criminal how long and plodding the set up is for how poor quality the payoffs are
>>291444571I wish they had made the pacing better. It definitely could've used fewer episodes spent on dumb things like the maid cafe nonsense.
>>291444457That's not a good reason for your story being a fucking mess.
This scene sucked
>>291444457That's sounds like an awful reason, what thr fuck? What a mess of an anime.
>>291404997>turning on a dime>goes from mid to interesting, then back to midI mean you are right in a way, but still.
>>291404997There were no lasting consequences to this scene. At all. It's just shock value and nothing else.
>>291448461The truth about this series is that the bad writing was there from the start. S;G 0 was just when it became obvious that the writing stunk.
>>291448558S;G is flawed but all of the spinoff shot after has been absolutely abysmal. I don't know why they keep trying to continue this series.
>>291448461I'm convinced after watching this anime that normalfag cattle will clap at anything
>>291404997Your anime isn't as amazing as you like to think it is S;G faggots.
>Make a decent anime>Spend the next decade or more milking it for everything it's worth with zero effort spinoffs and remakesDefend this.
>>291449466I won't. I'm a Steins;Gate fan but the series is garbage to the point of making me mad now.
>>291449466It's just corporate greed. That's all it is.
>>291449778That's what I was thinking. I'm exasperated with Mages and how lazily they've handled the IP over the years.
I wish these hacks would work on the sequel already instead of another remake.
>>291450097Steins;??? is still a thing for whatever it's worth.
>>291450588Going by the series' recent output it's going to be shit.
>S;G 0 goes ahead and adds even more useless characters What the fuck where these writers thinking?
>>291450930>What the fuck where these writers thinking?That's the thing, they weren't.
>>291450930They were hacking their way through the story the whole time. The original S;G is barely held together with a bunch of plot contrivances.
>>291426768>>291428295It's one schizo spamming the same posts with vague criticisms without any elaboration (like bad writing, bad characters, shallow) and complaining about things every time travel story does (even something as general as time travel undoing events) while ironically claiming other time travel stories are better. Also randomly praising Re:Zero out of nowhere which makes it obvious it's a Re:Zerofag since everyone knows Re:Zero actually has garbage writing and characters. I've seen him get ip wiped before which exposed his samefag.
>>291404997This was the most forced scene I ever watched
>>291404997Who deserves the title of "Baby's first pretentious harem shit" more between this and Shitagatari? It's pretty close between the two. Though, Haruhi and Eva is up there, too.
>>291451137>vague criticisms without any elaboration (like bad writing, bad characters, shallow)Oh yeah, also reddit. That's his favorite criticism.

>>291451137Is it just one? I could have sworn there were at least two different schizos dumping shit here. One forces these threads along with shitpost theads for other popular shows and tries to start shit between fanbases with false-flagging (see >>291434726), while the other dumps dogshit AI-generated vagueposts.
>>291404997Tatami Galaxy did time looping better
>>291451181Because the underlying writing makes no sense. It doesn't even do cause and effect properly.
