Steins;Gate

The OVA is basically forcing Kurisu to experience the same type of trauma that Okabe went through to save Mayuri and Kurisu.

Also Okabe acts way out of character in this, there is no "Hououin Kyouma" in this. He doesn't bully Kurisu at all.

Hey, fuck you! My waifu is in this!

>Goes through everything to save everyone
>OH well that was fun.

So out of character, definitely took me out of it and there after everything just felt pretty sloppy

S;G always hung by a thread. It had good characters, it had good bantz, but the plot just barely worked because it threw enough drama at you that you never stopped to think about the fact that half of it is nonsense ("Reading Steiner" is a bullshit plot contrivance so they can actually have a story within their own constraints, as an example of how precarious this house of cards was).

Someone please tell me why this stupid narration is in this? Like it seems really tacky to have the characters' inner thoughts now be splurged out in expository inner-dialogue to the audience like any other shit anime.

You know, Reading Steiner makes more sense after knowing the origin of the title and the concept of it. Search for Rudolf Steiner, there's even a little blog entry about the relation between S;G and Rudolf, wich is the most plausible source of the name and the philosophy behind the functioning of the Reading Steiner.
I had a class in uni about the guy and it was interesting, couldn't stop thinking about S;G and how it made a lot of sense.

The only good part of it was drunk Kurisu and the goodbye kiss.

The whole deal with changing observer was a nice idea to explore (for a movie at least), it's too bad they shat over it.

There's nothing wrong with Reading Steiner.

No expectations, don't plan on watching it.
