I have a weeb friend who insists that this anime is a better Groundhog Day. I'm pretty skeptical yet curious, but don't want to waste hours of my time if this just ends up being another bad weebshit. Is he right?
>>224188948>Is he right?Unironically yes, it's absolutely worth watching.
>>224188948This, and the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist are the only anime series worth watching.
>>224188948weebs are subhuman. they're just normalfags that have been completely psyopped and mindbroken by Big Japan.
>>224188948Don't really have a problem with anime but this one sucked ass.
>>224188948It's peak.
>>224188948It's good. Really good. Made me bother to read the VN, which doesn't happen often.
>>224189035>shonen with a kid protagonist
The best anime girl of all time and it's NOT close.
>>224189035>Fullmetal AlchemistNo version of Fullmetal Alchemist is worth watching.
if your not into anime, try the visual novel of steins;gate. it's much better and the big reveal is more shocking.
>>224188948This weebshit sucked. I'd rather have no explanation for the time travel like Groundhog Day or have it be some magic, rather than the dumb shit they tried to put together to explain why the time travel keeps changing its mind on what happens when you try to change shit in the past.
Watch Primer.
>>224189213Brotherhood is the best anime. Period. Don’t @ me you’re wrong. Thx for Reddit gold.
>>224189197Kurisutina was really good in the movie, too. I can imagine her building a time machine just to bring back the one person she truly loves. The original anime was faithful to the VN, it's really a great ride when you don't know what to expect. Only other animu from that period that comes close is Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
It is a better groundhog day. It's also just an incredibly comfy slice of life. You have to watch it in Summer though, it fits the atmosphere.
>>224189349any more movies like this? where it's near impossible to comprehend but the point isn't really to comprehend it anywaygoing to check out pi
stay away from Steins;Gate 0 tho, is utter trash until last couple episoes just to blueball you with a cliffhanger.
>>224188948Edge of Tomorrow is better, watch that instead.
>>224189443but stay away of that anime movie of it from last year, was fucking ugly and bad
>>224189459>Watching the version with no Tom CruiseI would never, that shit was doomed from the start.
>>224189061How about you try watching it instead of talking shit about things you know nothing about?
>>224188948low bar
>>224188948It's a worse Groundhog day actually, but not like weebs know any better.
>>224189197Mayuri is better
>>224189213>>224189381He's right and youre gay. Dr. Stone is better and I dont like it either.Met the dog girl dub actress. Equally disinterested in the series. Krillen was there and she lit up talking about not really being in DBZ.Sweet lady. Doesnt like FMA lmao
>>224189067Get some taste.
>>224188948Not a single good character in this weebshit.
>>224189819That's just completely false.
>>224189392I didn't even realize SG had a movie. When did this happen?
>>224188948Groundhog day is better, Steins; Gate has the same problem that a lot of other animes have, and that is the cringy anime humor about le sex or le catgirls. It's an alright series and I want to rape Kurisu.
>>224190008>le sex or le catgirlsPuritan fags still getting filtered by kino to this day.
>>224188948>tranime
>>224190282Tranime is kino
>>224189232>visual novelWho even reads these?
>>224189507I do. I'm a normalfagg psyopped by Japan. why do you think i'm here?
Anime peaked with Ghost in the Shell and I won't hear any argument otherwise
>>224190337Me.
>>224190437I would take opinions like this more seriously if most of the people that had them didn't clearly hate anime and watched probably no more than 10 shows.
>>224188948Shit series only worshipped by animefags that know nothing about time travel fiction
>>224188948idk about better than Groundhog Day but it's well worth watching.
>>224189987Long time ago. It's pretty good, Okibe starts disappearing from the main timeline due to all his timeline-hopping and only Kurusu remembers that he was ever there.
>>224189381brotherhood doesn't have the good alphonse ending, thoughever.brotherhood is better overall and stays true to the source but some of the characters and their stories are better in the first FMA anime.
>>224188948Worse groundhog day with tranny plotline that probably mind broke so many weebs into taking estrogen.
>>224190437ghost in the shell was a film though.if you mean the series, you have absolute trash fuckin taste.
>>2241911952003 felt like a way more interesting series to me. Had a few flaws but it stuck with me more than Brotherhood over the years.
>>224188948>not /tv/ relatedYou should discuss this on /a/.
>>224189987https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steins;Gate:_The_Movie_%E2%88%92_Load_Region_of_D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_VuI loved watching it while high on methoxetamine (ketamine derivative). I felt my body and mind becoming one with what's happening on screen, this and PMMM Rebellion (the TV series in two movie forms as well) were wonderful, soulful and emotional experiences.
>>224188948>weebshitShan't be watching
>>224191834Being closed minded is bad for you.
>>224191524Thats sad, gross, and pathetic.
>>224188948Go back to /a/
>>224188948The only good part is the weird conspiracy atmosphere that the show does a decent job of developing before it throws it all into the garbage bin for some sad attempt at a "thriller".
>>224192185>conspiracy atmosphere that the show does a decent job of developing before it throws it all into the garbage binyou say that like they just abandon the entire SERN plotline
>>224189035>2003 Fullmetal Alchemist
>>224191195>>224191385I literally just finished Brotherhood for the first time last night. Dunno why it took me so long since the original has been one of my favorites since it came out. I kinda feel more like they're a part 1 and part 2 that heavily overlap rather than two versions of the same thing, and I think a new viewer should see both in order. I think I still prefer the original because the tragedy felt more personal but Brotherhood also kicks ass.
>>224188948It was okay but 2 VNs into the series I'm assuming their shtick is to have the most insufferable protagonists they can. Had to turn the main guy's voice off to get through chaos head and thought about it with steins gate, especially during the best character retard girl's death montage where the main dude was so over the top fucking stupid
>>224189197>Holo without a tailshe's a close second, sure
>>224189418The Endless
>>224192364>I kinda feel more like they're a part 1 and part 2 that heavily overlap rather than two versions of the same thingFMA went off scriptFMA: B kept to the source material and general atmosphere of the source.personally i liked the Alphonse ending of him being basically a necromancer transmuter.
>>224188948>READING STEINER What? Why would my reading steiner happen now? Could something have changed the world lines?
>>224188948This was aggressively mediocre sci fi schlock, not anything of note.
>>224188948Do not ever listen to weebs because all they will give you is retarded opinions like that one.
Didn't they release a remake for this or something?
>>224193927Remake of the game
Over half of Steins;Gate's runtime wasted on 2channel memberberries. It's like making a movie about someone with a time machine going back to stop Steve Jobs from making the iphone but you spend 45/90 minutes spouting 4chan memes.
>>224192473Overrated niche waifu compared to kurisu.
>>224188948>I have a weeb friendThat was your first mistake.
>>224194335Yeah despite being a chan user I found that whole aspect of the story to be very grating. It was both trying too hard and made the characters into too much like losers when they're spouting chan memes out loud like it's supposed to be clap worthy.
>>224189061>Big JapanBut Japan is small...
Isn't this anime the one with the tranny?
>>224195323That doesn't narrow it down, at all.
What is the appeal of anime?
>>224195323Yes
>>224188948Yes, but you should read VN instead
>>224188948I love anime and manga and Groundhog Day is way better than this. S;G isn't bad but it's overrated especially by weeabo faggots.
>>224188948Just watch it. How long could it be?
>>224188948The characters being stupid are the worst part of any storyThey very conveniently forget the beginning of the game’s mystery hook until the very endSo fucking stupid, despite mentioning and seeing, and it being a big talking point around town, the “ufo” is ignored until it’s needed
>>224188948I just watch Groundhog Day and pretend it's an anime. Steins Gate is for weebs who like to pretend they're smart
>>224188948Nah it's shit. Nothing happens for like several episodes then something happens in one episode and it's back to fucking nothing again. The red head girl is supposed to be some super smart scientist but they wrote her like a retard that one moment near the end just so her retard dad can shank her ass and run off with the time machine plans or whatever. Seriously why the heck did she say all those things to her dad with how unhinged he is. Surely she should have known it world have pissed him off. Show is shit.
>>224188948It's decent, worth watching.
>>224188948Your friend is an idiot
Most overrated animu ever
>>224197690>>224197614Wrong, you are just tasteless faggots
>>224189061>Big Japan
>>224188948It depends on what your tolerance is for "Japan moments" or tropes. Some examples are nose bleeds for hot chicks doing sexy things, awkward "almost" romance scenes where the woman hits the guy with her fist or an object as they are close to kissing, a cute girl saying something "cute", guys perving on, or women thinking they're mistakenly perving on them. I loved Steins;Gate. But if you hate "Japan moments" you're in for a few of them. I wouldn't compare it to "Groundhogs day" because it's not even the same concept. Just a guy who is going through the different permutations of parallel timelines to find a timeline where his friends don't die and he doesn't have to live through WWIII because of his invention of a microwave time machine. Hot Take: English Dub is fine. But the Japanese dub takes the cake with the Jive Talk to the black guy in that one episode.
>>224188948S;G is retarded weeb dogshit compared to Groundhog Day, what a bad comparison.
>>224188948Nah. It's not even the same genre.They are nothing alike, other than a 2-3 episodes with a time loop.>>224189035Back to r3ddit.
>>224197976>Wow I am sexually attracted to this 2d girl, this means the anime she is in is amazingI hate retards so fucking much it's insane.
>>224198550>>224198537Just admit that you don't understand anything about anime instead of acting like some pseud.
>>224198600Good bait.
>catched
>>224189197>soulless boring tsundereShe's shit.
>>224188948I just looked up the plot and it sounds absolutely nothing like Groundhog Day.
>>224188948>24 episodes Guarantee it would be greatly improved by cutting that in half. All anime would be better with fewer episodes.
>>224198709I think you have here confused with worst character in all of fiction from evangelion.
>>224198755Asuka is also shit but she was an interesting and novel character for her time for what that's worth.
>>224188948Not really, the show's pacing is awful and the payoff isn't worth it.
>>224198923I’m always highly skeptical of any anime series over 20 episodes. There’s almost always a bunch of unnecessary filler.
>>224198923>/tv/ poster getting filtered by an anime classicMany such cases.
>>224188948What's with the retarded punctuation?
>>224198729How about you watch it and find out instead of being a fag and reading a summary of it?
>>22419913124 episodes is way too much, so no, I won’t, but it’s not like Groundhog Day.
>>224199179Holy ADHD, your loss then.
>>224199359I bet the same general plot could be accomplished just as well in a two hour movie rather than stretched out into a series. I feel the same way about almost all live action prestige TV.
>>224188948It's a good anime, but I don't know why he's comparing it to Groundhog Day. Steins;Gate is a time travel anime, not a time loop one.
>>224188948I gave this a shot years ago but didn't care for it.
>>224188948It's atrocious.It's not scifi at all, that's a ruse.Its actual genre is called "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things".I'm not even kidding.It's about a bunch of girls who make stupid noises-one of them goes TOO TOOROOOOO!!!!-another one makes cat sounds-another one is completely silent and communicates via text onlyA guy lives with them and they get into WACKY and """CUTE""" scenarios.The scifi stuff all takes a back seat to the wacky anime brainrot stuff.If you go into it expecting hard-scifi you're only going to be infuriated.
>>224199588>another one makes cat soundsShe talks about herself in the third person and ends every sentence with NYAN NYAN.YAY SCIENCE FICTION!!!
>>224199588You people really can't handle even the most mildly quirky of characters, can you?
>>224199095Anime writers think it looks cool.
>>224199588Yep, that’s a skip from me. No idea how anyone watches 24 episodes of that garbage.
>>224199588Why can’t weebs ever admit they mainly watch this stuff for the waifus?
>>224188948It's absolute dog shit.
>>224199716You haven't even watched it fucking moron. Just listening to a bunch of filtered fags that don't know the first thing about Jap fiction in the first place.
>>224199588It's why it baffles me when I see people mention it as an anime for people who don't watch anime, it's got way too many animeisms
>>224200006Well, is this >>224199588 inaccurate? Be honest.
>>224200036The teenage protagonists are already an instant turn-off for me.
>>224188948The girls are hot. What more do you need?
>>224200408I can’t stand any of this >>224199588 type of anime stuff.
>you've just invented a limited form of time travel>girl shows up to work at the store underneath you>girl seems very sweet>girl immediately becomes deadly serious and gets into a combat stance when meeting one of your friends>every subsequent time she does the same thing. completely on edge>when asked about why she hates your friend for no reason, she says cryptic things like "she hasn't done anything to me.... yet">you think nothing of it>you had literally just invented a limited form of time travel a couple days agoI love steins gate but it is a little stupid sometimes. Okabe is heavily implied to actually be very fucking smart so it makes it more unbelievable
>>224200906Yeah that part and other scenes like that really took me out of it.
>>224188948It's a below average anime, just watch time travel kinos from the west instead of this.
>>224190337nerds on 4chan
>>224190337KINOmasa
>>224188948Nothing interesting actually happens in this series. Every time travel plot thing is just ripped straight from another kino that did it first.
>>224201252>>224201366Leave it to /tv/tards to not be able to handle peak Japanese fiction.
>>224188948Watched this and Occultic;Nine back to back, and the latter clears easily.
>>224188948It's better than Groundhog Day, and Dark and Primer actually.
>>224194468>Overrated nicheI don't think that's a thing. Anyway, she's only known to people 30+ and she was popular back in the day but not so much now. She's a good, proper waifu from the time when nerds had a waifu instead of a gacha/vtuber carousel.
>>224189035don't lump those together, full metal alchemist is stupid and you were a stupid gay child.
>>224201717For me its Fullmetal panic.
>>224188948It has one of the worst main characters of all time.
>>224202040I couldn't stand him. I thought he was going to be a serious character based on the poster and his labcoat but instead I got an insufferable autist.
>>224202040>>224202575>filtered by chuuni>literally part of his arc where he becomes more and more mature and stops being a chuuni to cope with thingsget out
>>224202686That loser remained a manchild from beginning to end of the show.
>>224202818The development was much better shown in the vn, but it also happens in the anime buddy
>>224202946I'm sure the story was much better in your 200 hour weeb book as opposed to the underwhelming anime, sure I definitely believe that.
>>224188948No such thing as a "weeb". Feel bad for that. Also the english version is actual reddit tier fanfiction and not at all how the jp version is
>>224203245So in summary. Call him a huge faggot
>>224188948It's fun early on, but turns to shit, at least with how the problem is ultimately solved. Even even had to make another game to explore the fucked timeline.
>>224188948i was really hoping that society would learn its lesson about using punctuation in titles after Panic! at the Disco.
>>224188948Hunterchads WON
>>224188948Groundhog Day is a classic, this was just slop.
>>224188948You said "weeb" twice in your post so no I dont think you'll like the anime that is part friend simulator / otaku culture / time travel.You also came here to get /tv/'s opinion instead of forming your own. So your taste might be so shit it loops back around to liking this show. It's a solid 7/10 anyway
>>224188948I wouldn't really compare S;G to groundhog day... Sure they both use time travel/looping but the central themes in each of them are different.
>>224195323Nah. He's just gay. Later, they switch to a timeline where he was born a straight woman instead. So not trans. An actual biological woman from birth, just in a different timeline.
it's goodit's not amazing but it's goodrewatchable too which seems to be the case with most time travel movies if not all
>>224188948What do they have in common beside having time travel? It's not even the same kind of time travel
>>224188948anime is for subhumans and japs can't write
>>224203185I fell for this shit and slogged through Fate/stay night. I hated this garbage so much that I lost all respect for the cult of anime and the Japanese as a whole. Every weeaboo belongs on the gallows.
>>224188948it's pretty good but the original visual novel is the goat
Waifu faggotry is clearly involved, so it’s obvious garbage.
>>224188948>cut content>censored contentNo.Just read/play the original source material.Even then it’s a product of its time.You had to be there
>>224207585I find it funny they totally cut this from the anime with not even a whisper or thread remaining
>>224188948It's cringe weebshit, would not recommend
>>224207585Raep
>>224188948Its not really worth watching. The plot is built around the John Titor story, and the writing is just too weak to keep up with this lore.There's also some alt-universe tranny love jammed in randomly, which might be why your friend loves this.Time-travel stories are great, but this one just isn't that compelling aside from the John Titor aspect. However, that is really used only as a hook. The story came off as if the writer really doesn't care for time-travel as a genre and just made this to pay some bills. You should skip it.
>>224188948Better than Bill Murray? I don't think so.
Westernfags should respect Steins gate.
>>224188948Why does anyone listen to weebs
>>224188948it is good but it's one of those series that isn't good until like episode 9
>>224207653go back
>>224188948Frieren mogs
>>224188948I watched it after hearing weebs talk it up like it’s the crowning jewel of time travel stories but then I watched it and it was only okay. It’s not even the best time travel anime, as other have mentioned in this thread Edge of Tomorrow is better. Even the Tom Cruise version is better. Don’t expect much and you’ll

>>224188948Watch Dark instead of wasting your time on that OP.
>>224205957I enjoyed Fate/Stay Gay immensely - with the patch adding nudity and sex scenes back, of course. I couldn't miss mollusk kino written by the ultimate virgin Nasu.
>>224212898eureka seven
>>224207585Truth is, Okabe would never be able to rape her. She's a fucking trained soldier, one second and he'd be on the ground, unable to breathe.
>>224188948>tranimeunalive
I prefer Higurashi.Conceptually, it's like groundhog Day meets wickerman
>>224208972I know you never watched it and just parrot what you heard from other trolls. There's no "tranny shit or tranny timeline" at any point of the VN. Original Ruka is a very pretty boy, whose father enjoys giving him female dresses (geg). He knows he's a man and never says otherwise, though he wished in one of the D-Mails to be born a girl, so that Okabe would be able to love her. So, there's one timeline where he's a biological woman and they go on a date with Okabe in exchange for the phone from which the D-Mail was sent and the contents of that message, in order to undo it.
>>224213744Bruh, why are you pretending that isn't tranny fantasy. Also, why the fuck was Okabe's first instinct to prove Ruka was a boy to tug on his nutsack, I never understood that. In what universe or timeline would that ever make sense
>>224213805Genderbender antics are one of the oldest tropes in anime. I'm sorry that you're so obsessed with trannies, you start seeing them everywhere.
>>224213849Anon, believe it or not, I'm not going to judge you for being a troon.But your head is neck deep in the sand if you think this is some misunderstanding that other anon's part.
>>224188948depends a lot on how much you like anime in general. It's a bad choice if it's your first.
>>224188948It's fine if you really like time travel
>>224213744Problem with Ruka is that he really doesn't anything to the plot.It's as though he legitimately exists just for the sake of having an alt reality femboy. There's nothing particularly interesting or thought provoking about his story line, it just comes across as ero fanservice.
>>2241889485 minutes into the second episode, theres a trap. Instantly dropped. I will not watch any anime that has faggots, traps, trannies, crossdressing, or any of that ilk. I dont like penis. I dont like my male protagonist characters considering the thought of penis being okay or even tolerable. I already knew this shit would be a waste of my time then and there.
>>224213744all you focused on in my post was the mention of the tranny arc, and despite claiming it doesn't exist you know EXACTLY what I was talking about, lmao
>>224209849If you like it because of waifus, fine, but be honest about it. Don’t try to claim it’s actually well written.
>>224188948It's a complete waste of time. Every character is some insufferable anime trope and it doesn't even do anything that interesting with time travel.
>>224188948It's good if you don't automatically reflexively hate anything that's anime.
>>224188948>all time-loop stories are the sameYour friend is retarded. Watch Steins Gate anyway.
>>224189197The trap was a better character.
