Can it be scientifically explained how Kurisu is so cute?
風向き変わる頃好きと呟いたの
こだまする言葉だけあなたはふりかえる
隣のあの子に笑うあなたの優しさは
綿菓子みたいに甘いしあわせをくれるの
ひとりきりの森に住むエコーのように
さみしいことはないわ ma vie!
たとえばこの心全部あげたのなら
迷子の恋心に気づいてくれるかな
あなたの目の前に立つと行き先も忘れて
伝えたいこと全部空に浮ついてくの
一番近くが一番遠いなんてほんとね
その特別な距離も運命だとしたら
ときどきは意識してよ
いまは叶わなくても
他愛ないデートをするふたりを夢見てるの
わたしここにいるのって伝えたいの
こだまだけでいいの c'est moi
隠した気持ち赤いキャンディみたいに溶ける
ひとつきりの恋あげるよ Je pense a toi tres fort.

Because she's a well written tsundere.
Genius girls are invariably adorable.
Genius boys are invariably creepy and unlovable.I was doing calculus at 10. Now I'm 30 and still watching Chinese cartoons alone;_;
>>147510611
You aren't a genius.
>>147510473
She's not a tsundere, she's in a position where she can't openly express herself, given Okabe is either acting like a retard or a PTSD-ridden veteran at random.
>>147508993
Probably. I don't really care, though.
CHRISTINA
Her small stature plays a part in it. She's like a tiny science fairy.
Best Girl
>>147510822
People are capable of expressing themselves very easily in a whole variety of situations. The fact that Kurisu feels she's in a position where she can't due to the presence and personality of another person is part of how she is tsundere.

Femine penis
>>147508993
It's because she's all about contrast. Wise beyond her years but doesn't know the first thing about social interactions. One of the most brilliant minds ever and she shitposts on 2chan. Is as blushing virgin as it gets but dresses unintentionally lewdly. That sort of thing.
That she's characterised in bits and pieces that slowly pull back the curtain on who she really is as a person in ways that often subvert expectations doesn't hurt. Neither does the fact that her thing with Okabe feels sweet, remarkably innocent and entirely genuine as it develops rather than a tsundere tickbox.
>>147517097
Why does whitefox like adapting time travel animes with traps?
>>147517389
That's a neat, concise way of summing up her appeal. Contrast that seamlessly blends writing and design is incredibly engaging.
>>147513987
Also known as Ze Zombie
>>147517745
Frankly, all the characters in Steins;Gate are really well designed in my opinion. Maybe 0 will give some room for the side characters to shine a bit more, but even within S;G you can tell there's a definite level of quality and care placed in having the characters integrate well with distinct personalities that don't match archetypes.
>>147517819
I totally agree. Even the most hated characters of the cast aren't disliked because they're poorly executed. They're reviled because they're flawed and morally flexible.
Cute and believable design while still unique. Color palette is striking but not obnoxious rainbow while giving distinctive look and personality.
Also character has one of best VAs and lines are well written & fit the look of the character
What nationality is the name "Kurisu"?
>>147508993I thought this was a fucking sound
>>147517964
Rounders deserve happy ends too.
>>147518155
They really did a great job in making her outfit unique and sexy while building it out of mundane articles of clothing.
>>147518347
Kurisu is Japanese, it's just that it's pronounced the same way as Chris.
>>147518507
No they don't. They know what they signed up for.

>>147519303
>That dramatic art change
I don't like it.
If only this were asoundsthread.
>>147519303
>>147519331
It was originally chestnut, then it transitioned into the auburn you see today. Huke's been drawing her with red hair for years now anyway.
>>147519303
>>147519483
>Fanart is closer to the original art than Huke's current stuff
For shame.
>>147519515
I don't think there's really anything wrong with it. She's stunning as either a brunette or a redhead. Both colours work with her overall design too.
>>147519670
I don't mean the hair colour, I mean literally how he draws her.
>>147519701
I think he's gotten more refined and his art is cleaner and more consistent now. It's not like he's totally abandoned the aesthetic of the original VN.
>>147519868
The coloration is distinctly flatter, though. In using more vibrant colors, his shading has suffered and become very two-tone.
>>147517519
Someone at whitefox must've been a trapfag.
>>147519303
Wow, his art got visibly worse.
>>147519917
At the end of the day it's a matter of opinion whether the current art or the original art is more pleasing to the eye. I think all of it is gorgeous though.
>>147520045
I want a Kurisu.
>>147519303
>The lab coat isn't baggy and cute anymore
DAMMIT HUKE. ONE JOB.
>>147520102
I think a lot of people would like a cute, smart hottie like Kurisu.
>>147520184
To be fair, in the original she's wearing a lab coat meant for Daru.
>>147520275
Don't forget oddly charming as she transitions from purely cold to tsundere.
Because 今井さんはかわいい.
>>147520416
I wouldn't say that she's cold at first. Before Okabe molests her she's very polite and before the first worldline shift she was genuinely concerned for him as a stranger.
>Kurisu is dead, only a shitty AI as a replacement
Why is anyone excited for Zero? Half the reason I loved the show was her back and forth with Okabe. I see absolutely no reason in particular to care about a series where Kurisu is dead from the very get-go.
>>147517819
There is some fucking amazing development forRukain 0
>>147520765
but the true ending is saving Kurisu. Why else would they call it True Ending?
>>147519437
I still regret never saving the original OP pic from those
>>147520765
The entire point of Zero is ending up in a world where Kurisu is alive. It is literally the only outcome that doesn't end terribly for all mankind.
When does the anime go out?
>>147520765
Oh anon, if only you knew.
>>147520765
You'll understand when you play/watch it. So much about 0 is impossible to explain without ruining it.
>>147520765
Does 0 eventually lead to Okabe creating that video of him in the future which lead to Kurisu being saved?
>>147520810
I really love his involvement in 0, it feels more natural.
>>147520994
>his
>>147520922
Not that anon, but yeah. I'm actually surprised they made a "continuation" (it's not really one, but you know what I mean) of the old VN.
Why? Because a lot of people would just stop at the point where "the MC from the future/alternate world line" helps the MC from now, without going into detail about what the alternate MC went through.
>>147520922
Yes. That's what you're trying to do.
>>147519091
But those desperate people who say they'll do anything really will do anything. Once they agree and you put some measures in place to ensure compliance, they really did actually know what they were getting into.
>>147520810
That's what I was wondering about. Out of all the characters in S;G, it seems like Ruka was just a tad boxed out of the spotlight. Wasn't sure if Chiyomaru wanted to address that or not. Other than that, I'm glad he decided to do 0 because it will finally get all those people who don't understand episode 23 to shut up about Okabe getting a "free" happy ending.
>>147521086
By "means to ensure compliance", you mean coercion and dangling everything they love on a string?
Pretty sure they didn't sign up for that.
>>147521110
Do people actually say that?
>>147521145
I don't know if it's just an influx of faggots from Reddit over the past 8 months, shitposting, or just newfags, but I've had to explain numerous times how their idea that Steins;Gate just pulled a "MC gets a free happy ending cause time travel magically fixed everything" is fucking bullshit. Apparently when time travel is involved in conflict solving in any way, everything that happens is invalidated because the MC's actions didn't mean or cost anything.
>>147521192
Didn't time travel cause all his problems to begin with?
>>147521144
It was either that or they would die in whatever situation they were in before. Some of them probably wanted purpose too.I have a hard time forgiving Moeka even after knowing she was a victim of circumstance. Her character song is beautiful though.
I really like the way the Committee, or at least SERN runs its operations because not only is it morally gray when it comes to recruitment, but it's efficient too. Nothing better than competent antagonists.
>>147521192
And it's not like everything was solved by Punished Okabe. Our S;G Okabe still had to come up with a way to save Kurisu, destroy her paper on time travel and ensure that the worldline didn't correct itself and very nearly died doing it. All that Punished Okabe really did was give him the chance and the resolve to make it happen.
>>147521223
Except for Kurisu dying.
>>147521223
oh my
You mean Chris?
>>147521236
>It was either that or they would die in whatever situation they were in before

Mayuri can also claim that. Kind of. I think she's more a symptom of the worldlines than the determining factor between alpha and beta.
I opened this thread expecting a sounds thread. ;_;

>>147522562
That sort of neotenic cuteness doesn't really apply to anime girls.Rather they have slim, effeminate figures, wide eyes, and long hair. Their cuteness is that of 'attraction', not 'adorableness'.
>>147522562
Neoteny is the generic answer though.
>>147522562
But almost none of those things apply to Kurisu other than maybe the notes about the eyes. That's not at all the kind of cute that Kurisu or any anime girls are, for that matter.
>>147522591

>>147508993
Legs, red hair, lab coats, legs and Dr. Pepper.
>>147522641
Even that's pushing it.
>>147522657
That is not right. Stop it right this instant.
You know, Kurisu is the only 'teen genius' sort of character where I've actually bought that she's as brilliant as they tell us they are.
>>147522352
The earliest would be next year's fall.
>>147522750
Can't stop won't stop.
>>147522773
That's because acts like an intelligent yet fallible person instead of a dumbass who inexplicably knows things.
Cause she's a nerd who spams dank memes on the internet just like you.

>>147523723
Yes. Her small frame, large eyes, and undefined muscular features imply she is weak and vulnerable.
Because of this, men find her to be protectable, which is the root of cuteness. It has been theorized that cuteness is an evolutionary tactic to help people care more about their offspring, which is why we find younger or weaker features to be cute.
>>147524187
>tfw I fantasise about doing precisely that
>>147524187
Pretty much. She's strong willed and bold but you still kind of want to hold her close and keep her safe anyway.

Because they needed another male character to balance out the cast but already had a cute girl design lined up. The problem solved itself.
>>147525845

Well, given what Okabe ends up giving to protect her it seems that it's just as true in universe as it is to the audience.

Tsundere is a way of inaccurately summing up a facet of her personality. It gets a very basic idea across but it's not really representative of her.

Poorly written tsunderes have only tsundere.

She is well-written, but not because she is a tsundere.

Not quite yet. Zero hasn't been released in English. Unless you're playing through the original of course.

The specifics of Zero are very hard to spoil without a very detailed explanation. You already know the ending but the way that they end up there is vastly more complicated than you might expect.
