when does this get good? I have an incredibly low tolerance for anime outside of the greats, but I heard this was the absolute pinnacle of time travel exploration in any visual medium.
I'm at episode 9 and it's dragging, hard. I dislike mostly all if not everything about this show.

Am I just being a faggot? Or does this show really become amazing? It's near 9/10 rated on IMDB for a reason I guess.
You are most definitely a faggot. I liked it from the first episode but it starts getting intense from the 12th episode
Tyler Smith
Fuck you greentexter
Nathaniel Reyes
>when does this get good? It doesn't. It's the worst of the Sci;Adv series.
John Barnes
Is just a funny comedy show, when it try to take himself serious just skip and you can tolerate, there is no other way, mediocre writing and nothing make senses.
Lucas Brooks
short answer: episode 12
Ayden Harris
>when does this get good? I have an incredibly low tolerance for anime outside of the greats Stop watching then, most anime is not for you. If you have to ask "when does this get good?" just drop the show and watch something else. We don't want to talk to you here.
Parker Peterson
R;N is worse, you know?
Dylan Cox
I recently watched it too and had similar thoughts. The ending was really good I'd say just stick it through. But then again I really liked the characters from the start so perhaps you're just a faggot.
Justin Price
Go back to Sup Forums please
Alexander Lewis
Play the VN instead, if possible
Justin Sullivan
>Am I just being a faggot? Yes. You didn't even have to ask.
Jordan Allen
>Expecting someone who can't appreciate build-up or suspense to read anything.
Cameron Perez
play the VN you fuck
Elijah Miller
...
Michael Roberts
If the OP is finding the anime too slow then he'll probably find the VN even harder to engage with, even if it is better overall.
Aiden Rivera
Halfway through.
Jayden Murphy
>but I heard this was the absolute pinnacle of time travel exploration What kind of overhyped bullshit do you buy into? It's pretty good, the reason it starts slow is to develop the characters. The plot happens in the second half.
Jaxson Richardson
Nah. C;H the VN was way worse.
Blake Ward
You should just spoiler yourself at the Maho thread that's up and going right now OP.
Jonathan Adams
You need to watch the prequel first to appreciate it. It's brilliant from the beginning that way.
Nathaniel Gomez
wasn't there meant to be a new series getting animated of this steins gate zero or something?
Levi Murphy
The midquel. Should be coming some time in 2017. In the meantime, here's episode 23 β. OP shouldn't be here if he doesn't want to get spoilered at any rate.
Nah, I'd place it as better myself Psychological and sound design alone
Cooper Hall
If you don't like it, don't watch it. Why do people feel the need to complain about them not liking an anime they're watching?
>Am I just being a faggot? If you need approval from a bunch of people on an anonymous image board, then yes, you're probably a faggot. Everyone has different tastes. Yours doesn't have to match everyone else's.
Jayden Rivera
>starting a thread before you've even finished watching Holy shit, did I change world lines or something?
>Convoluted and boring introduction that drags What part of it is convoluted? The monologue literally lasts 30 seconds, the time-travel discussions can easily be skipped. (which aren't even that long) >too much stupid fanservice and dumb dialogue >Steins:gate >Fanservice >no real compelling characters Hououin Kyouma. >almost 80% of the show has taken place in one room so far What better location for a time travel story than the room the time machine is in? >half of the plot doesn't actually move the story forward You've watched 9 (six) episodes. You haven't seen 30% of the story.
From what you've said, you're simply being a faggot.Go watch Spirited Away or something if you want immediate release.
William Morris
i watched this series with a friend of mine some time ago, he had the same opinion as you but in the end he ended up loving the series.
Ethan Jackson
It's fucking trash. I wish i had saved my rant about why it's so fucking shit, because i had a lot of things to say.
But what i clearly remember i that it had retarded plot convenience all over the place, retarded plot holes, nonsensical character development (Luca actually being a girl would change her genetic make up and hormones, therefore would grow up to have an entirely different personality, probably wouldn't have ever met MC, but instead it's literally just the exact same character but with a pussy)
In addition to that literally every single character in this show is retarded. Like that fucking Dut Du Du slut is legitimately retarded. She was probbaly just written to be a shitty moe bait blob, but just like in most anime she ended up just being dumb and insufferable (if you have a brain).
Adrian Sanders
>I have an incredibly low tolerance for anime outside of the greats
Yes you are being a faggot
Blake Foster
this is when you realize you are on a roller coaster that has been slowly going up all the time without you noticing and there's no going back
Elijah Garcia
Fight me.
John Barnes
>plot holes >every plot hole listed is clearly explained 1/10
Evan Butler
Pretty sure OP can't even understand the least bit of what you've said, he's literally autistic
Joshua Adams
>(you)
Anthony Stewart
No?
And not only are there a ton of plotholes, the show is also of hundreds of deus ex machina tier contrivances. It's awful
Jace Gonzalez
>plot conveniences
OP should go fuck your mouth with a taser while sticking a magnetron up your ass. Research it first before you start screaming about something you fail to understand
Kevin Morales
what plot hole isn't explained?
James Rodriguez
>OP tried to make the same thread on Sup Forums and got BTFO again
Jace Scott
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA
Luis Baker
I'd just like to say that you're a moron.
John Davis
>starting a thread before you've even finished watching Its a legit thing to do. There are plenty of anime that stay the same way for their entire duration, so getting feedback on whether or not the show changes can save you a shit ton of time. I know plenty of shows that start out slow and really pick up after the first third, which is the reason why I just keep going nowadays. But I can understand if some people dont like wasting their time.
Carter Scott
Play the VN.
Joshua Gonzalez
Fucking this.
Michael Nguyen
>this bait Or you are simply have ADHD, sorry.
Anthony Rivera
It gets less bad in the middle, but it's still boring as fuck until the end.
Drop it and play the VN.;
John Kelly
Definitely overrated as all fuck.
Eli Jenkins
Why is MAL so pathetic?
Wyatt Cook
It doesn't
If you don't find the character focused-episodes interesting you're not going to like it when the plot gets more serious because you won't have any connection with said characters to give a damn.
It just isn't worth your time, drop it.
Jonathan Turner
Robotic;Notes is still worse than Steins;Gate. Stop trying so hard.
John Flores
>Watching things based on online ratings Kill yourself.
Asher Lopez
How about Robotics;Notes? Is it better than S;G?
Chase Jones
>i feel like x is overrated user, there is no perfect show. If you try to watch a series after you hyped it pretty much, you will pretty sure feel betrayed.
Steins Gate is great desu, but if you try to categorize every trope and behave like a pseudointellectual, then you won't enjoy ANYTHING.
David Sullivan
Can we mention the real problem with Steins Gate? Time travel isn't real and will never be.
Cooper Collins
Its boring af. Only had two episodes till the ending and was so bored I coudnt be arsed watching them
Colton Perry
>I have an incredibly low tolerance for anime outside of the greats
Austin White
Aside being a boring wish fulfilment SAO-tier with shitty character design, unrealistic generic characters and retarded plot?
None.
Logan Wood
>neckbeard sidekick is supposed to be 'cute' and 'vulnerable' instead of what he is, a 2d waifu fapping faggot
Maybe you should leave this board.
Jordan Young
Tell us of your superior taste user
John Peterson
So many buzzwords
Camden Bell
>>almost 80% of the show has taken place in one room so far
Describest he VN perfectly, also, I wouldn't hold out on an actual confrontation with SERN.
Xavier Collins
I never said my taste was superior, but you can have this. Buzzword is a buzzword.
Oliver Nguyen
>actually using MAL
oh boy
Wyatt Green
>unironically liking mechashit
Wyatt Lewis
>when does this get good? Never. And I didn't even think that the first half dragged most of the time. There are too many idiots out there that think making jokes or memes = character development.
Xavier Bennett
Don't you have anything useful to say about my taste aside this eristic garbage? >not liking Pleb.
Brandon Sanchez
>Fuck Moeka! Grrrrrr >wtf I love Moeka now
Adam Moore
Yeah. You should fuck off and eat shit is what I fucking have to say, you normalfaggot sack of dog feces.
Chase Lee
You lose every right for calling things wish fulfillment when you rate stuff like Eva 10/10
Jonathan Adams
>all these 10s and 9s Is this a joke? No wonder the scores on that website are so fucking inflated. What the fuck is your mean score? Like an 8.5?
Why wouldnt a person use MAL to keep a list of anime and ratings? Theres no actual advantage to organizing a google doc when you can just save all this shit online.
William Jones
Nah you're most likely a faggot. It gets very good by the 12 episode but if you didn't at least take interest to it since episode 1 then you're pretty much a lost cause.
Adrian Foster
>uses MAL >thinks the only alternative is a google doc
???
Oh wait, I forgot, you're fucking retarded.
Wyatt Parker
Ok, and you should just return to Reddit or Sup Forums where you can shitpost. NGE ain't no wish fulfillment though. It's the least wish fulfillment show ever. Pic related.
Carter Morgan
Sorry that I dont waste my time researching potential scoring websites for Chinese cartoons.
Bad enough to be honest.
Christopher Barnes
Neither is steins gate, I wouldn't wish those events upon anyone
Chase Taylor
Sweet Sup Forums taste lad.
Jeremiah Murphy
The relationships and most of girls personalities are actually.
Grayson Johnson
>but I heard this was the absolute pinnacle of time travel exploration in any visual medium. You were lied to. People like to bring up this garbage VN whenever possible but it doesn't deserve it's reputation as what you described. Even Life is Strange was more interesting and that had a million plot holes. Steins;Gate may explore time travel well but other than that it's just as bad as any other VN, you are better off reading a plot summary and watching something else.
Justin Collins
The very definition of a meandering story.
Kayden Evans
>it gets good by the 12 episode
...or just watch something good from the start, lol.
Joshua Williams
they literally save the day, and defeat SERN by deleting text
John Scott
And they literally saved the world from WW3 after that.
Nathan Gonzalez
if you know about quantum mechanics and you know how to enjoy a good story (that doesn't need a lot action just good character development and a good build up to the moment when action do happen) there's no way you can't like it I think you are being a faggot
Aaron Sullivan
It's useless. You can try thousands of times to convince the OP, but attractor field convergence will always make him not enjoy a good story and not know anything about many world interpretation.
Carter Young
That's debatable maybe you haven't heard, but under the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is theoretically possible
Cameron Murphy
Deceive the op
Colton Stewart
That tonal dissaonance when Okabe pulls his Chuuni shit far into the story
Xavier Parker
How can you have a mean score of this and not realize you're a fucking retard? Watching only 20 shows?
Colton Smith
>figuring out how to inject exotic matter into a Kerr black hole to make a stable wormhole >figuring out how to compress information around the accretion disc and retrieve said information
I am not you!
Christopher Gomez

David Campbell
It got to the point that I was in tears when Okabe finally pulled together and did his chuuni shit after he became a traumatized normalfag for a year.
Jaxson Mitchell
>This is a common opinion that I just don't get
Game hooks you in with that satelite crash, Kurisu's death and the time fucking up.....then moves onto a very, very slow sequence of fuck all happening, the pacing is atrocious, THAT's why it's a common opinion.
>and that's a boon
How is it a boon? It feels fucking stagnate.
>who gives a fuck
A lot of people? What a stupid answer.
Jaxson Ward
it gets good on episde 4 but go downhill rapidly and then it becomes totally amazing in episode 11
Brody White
Shut up pop sci faggot
Justin Moore
>I have an incredibly low tolerance for anime outside of the greats Fuck off, then.
