Sorry but I also hate that kind of anime. I couldn't watch Cowboy Bebop without yawning.
Steinsgate was not uninteresting. I watched it when I was new to anime and I still managed not to get bored.

Kill yourself, you filthy secondaries masturbate over an inferior butchered version as if it was the best thing ever made. Really speaks volumes of the medium as a whole.

>>157624704
Calm the fuck down.

I've read the VN and the anime does an acceptable job at adapting it.

>>157624742
It actually improved a few bits, like Okabe actually punching Moeka, and the scene where he realizes how Akihabara changed. Faris' arc was a major loss though

>>157624893
Who cares that much about her arc?
A side character if anything.

>>157624893
And then Mr. Braun kills Moeka, for some reason.

Was it so difficult to add the Nae scene?
Did they really need Braun to randomly shoot Moeka?

>>157624999
Fuck you, Faris is great.

>>157624174
Correct, it isn't Penguindrum

Don't know why you'd pick that image tbqh though

>>157625031
i also think the anime's version was better respect to that. Nae scene basically came out of nowhere (plotwise, i know there was this hint in the VN of the TL machine being used while nobody else was in the lab) and didn't add anything that would be covered in official works anyway. Braun killing Moeka isn't out of character, really.

Penguindrum was a steaming pile of turds for most of its run. Nothing but over the top melodrama and painful symbolism.

Luka didn't suffer enough

>>157623876
I love both S;G and SciADV in general, but even though the anime adaptation of S;G is certainly between the ones I like the most out of this decade, it's not the best one for me. Still great though.

>>157624206
The worst part about this post is that it makes me remember the people that unironically wait for the S;G 0 anime because they don't like VNs, and will miss on a huge amount of content due to S;G 0 being double the length of S;G. Hopefully what they adapt isn't butchered.

It does get a lot more people hooked in after that point, but there obviously will be people that won't like it even after that. If you don't like it after that part then you probably won't like it.

I liked steinsgate because of the mayuri factor and the organization. But I suppose she made the slice of life stuff more endearing.

Mawaru Penguindrum is better

The show was dumb but all sci;adv are. Even if you buy the idea fate kills Mayuri (which implies fate overrides causality) to fix the timeline even though it's Kurisu who should be dead they save Kurisu back to the future style and fate is fine with it. Then there's everything related to the non character/plot device known as Moeka aside from maybe Mr Braun.

Even if I let all of that slide the story is simply about the MC running from and potentially ruining as many timelines as possible until he found one where he was happy, he never fixed anything until the last few episodes fucking Subaru was a more responsible time traveler.

Episode name is just "1.382733".
No opening, just rain.
Then this song starts playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCBtnXS1VKo

As long as they don't fuck up that episode I'll be satisfied.

>>157627586
I didn't see it that way. The fact that Kurisu can be saved is a major flaw. However SG0 is coming out and that's where she died so that's not a problem then is it?

>>157627586
I disagree about moeka, she had some great development in the later part that shed light on why she was so shitty.
You're right about okabe ruining timelines, there's hundred of worlds he fucked up and only one he fixed, and technically that was just returning it to how it was before he fucked it up.

>>157627521
The series finale was pretty underwhelming

>>157627735
Those worlds stop existing when he leaves them. So no damage done.

>>157627755
Agreed, but it wasn't overtly terrible. Just not as good as it could have been.

>>157627586
Did you even watch the fucking show.

Mayuri had to die so Valkryie would be formed in the future and the events of the Alpha worldline could take place.

He isn't ruining any timelines, as there is only one possible active worldline, as characters who remember other worldlines prove

He also has the goal to reach 1% divergence so he isn't "just running away"

>Subaru was a more responsible time traveler.
You wish, Re:Zero fag

>>157624535
12 episodes is a lot, especially when we're talking about potentially being the best anime of the decade

I tried watching but nothing grabbed me, maybe ill watch again but this alone should stop any discussion about this being aotd

>>157627661
Is this the worldline where Okabe spends a month or so in WW3? I don't remember where this song plays.

>>157627735
>That's just returning it to how it was before he fucked up
what is the Steins;Gate worldline?

>>157627443

>>157627586
>fate is fine with it
Fate also said "fuck you". It wasn't until they learned how convergence works that they could do something.
>Moeka
Yeah she had almost no development, she was more of just an obstacle, at least S;G 0 compensates just a little bit but not much anyway.
>potentially ruining as many timelines
I get you haven't read the VN because the anime explained world lines very poorly. There's just one timeline, "world lines" are just a way of naming a possibility in which the timeline could develop. In fact, the numbers of the world lines are merely given by Okabe subjectively by how different each world line is from the previous one.

>>157627852
It's a buildup till episode 12. It's like building a castle of glass for 12 episodes before smashing the entire thing to tiny pieces. You don't feel for the characters unless you've spent that time with them. Somehow I really like the pacing because of this. It make it feel like nostalgia and make me invested in Mayuri so I actually didn't want her to die.

>>157627852
Nobody should watch the anime first. The VN takes longer to advance the plot but is somehow more engaging because the details are so critical.

>>157623876
Here's a list of some of the shows that aired in 2011 that are better than Steins;Gate:

Usagi Drop
Mawaru Penguindrum
Nichijou
Natsume Yuujinchou San
Hunter x Hunter
Madoka Magica

Steins;Gate is average at best. The first half feels completely aimless, the second half is full of repetition and asspulls.
The characters are easily some of the most poorly motivated and underdeveloped characters of any anime. The girls are all typical bland harem-bitches who want the annoying white-knight MC's dick as usual. I don't even need to explain why I don't like Okabe (I'm sure you can guess). I actually like Daru.
That's before I even get into the boring production and direction. White Fox makes perhaps the most soulless and uninspired visuals of any studio out there. I can't understand how their shows are so successful.

>>157627902
It is not too often I find another anon with such refined taste.

Bravo, Anon.

Speaking of Suzuha, her ending gives zero fucking closure, especially if you read the Suzuha spinoff manga and find out just how exactly she loses her memory and how the time machine fucks her up.

Is that manga canon?

>>157628064
You mean Braunian Motion of Love and Hate? Yes, it's one of the few side material we know for sure whether it's canon or not and actually is. Also yeah her ending was open as fuck, but I still think it's the best one besides the true ending. Most of the other endings didn't make much sense, and we got to see a dark side of Okabe caused by time travel fuckery.

>>157628060
You have no feelings.
I liked Daru too but I also liked the show.

>>157628060
because it appeals to the lowest denominator.

>All these contrarians ITT

>>157628177
That's SAO.

>>157627586
These are good points but even if the plot may have some flaws the thing that makes this anime so good,in my opinion, is the emotional aspect.
The sense of loss of a cancelled timeline combined with the fact that Okabe was the only one to remember them brought was overwhelming and soul-croushing. Not to mention the time machine scene.

I watched the anime first. Closest I ever got to VNs was the Ace Attorney games.

I'll probably download the VN soon instead of rewatching the anime. It was really good by the way, but not best of the decade for me, still liked Madoka and Psycho Pass better. Top 5 for sure though.

>>157628208
>if they don't agree with me they are contrarians

>>157628060
I'm gonna watch what you listed because I haven't really seen them recommended anywhere. If they're shit, I'll curse you.

kemono friends the anime of this and the next decade.

>>157628247
I certainly recommend the VN, and just in general any VN of an anime you like and would want expanding. Anime adaptations don't have as many of the characters' thoughts as VNs do, they also can take way more time so they don't need to hurry / change stuff to fit the length, which a lot of times causes VNs to flow better (although that's obviously not always the case).

Where have you been?

>>157628279
Re:zero?

>>157628170
I mean Rebellion of the Missing Ring

Braunian motion is about Braun's backstory
Rebellion of the Missing Ring focuses on Suzuha in the future and present

It also reveals the reason she loses her memory isn't directly because of the time machine, but because of a SERN assassin who throws her off of a building because the Time Machine malfunctions and injures her

So Okabe going with her shouldn't change fuck all

You should not be allowed to bitch about the quality of any plot without reading the source material first. The presentation of the plot as put forth by an adaptation is fair game, though.

>>157628421
Oh yeah, I choked there mb. I don't know if that one is canon or not sadly. That reminds me I should probably re-read a lot of side material, it's been way too long.
Btw, Babel is getting more chapters translated now, but they will be released slowly (I know the guys). I may take care of the typesetting at some point depending on the availability of the translator and the typesetter, so hopefully there will be more soon enough.

>>157624174
Agree with this, but frankly there are a lot of anime that came out in 2011 that are better than S;G. Pengiundrum and Hunter both come to mind amongst others.


>>157627586
This. The problem with time travel in Steins;Gate is that there are certain things that HAVE to happen because of fate, and other things that don't, and there aren't any truly hard-set rules about which one any given event must be. There are in-story explanations for why that is, but from the point of view of a guy sitting down and writing a story it pretty much gives you license to justify anything happening. Any event can be justified as not being able to change for x reason that is important to history, and any event can be written as being "not important" and butterfly effect-ed away. Just shitty writing all around.

>>157628060
>poorly motivated and underdeveloped
What? The characterization in the later half of the show is some of the best we've seen in the last seven years. It's not enough for AOTD, but you can't just write off the arcs for all the characters. I'm still moved when thinking of the scene about Daru and Suzu, and I haven't even read the VN so I assume this is just a fraction of the actual characterization.

>>157623876
Pick unrelated right?
That shit it's terrible.

>>157627867

>>157627902

*ahem*
YOU CAN"T USE THE VN TO DEFEND THE ANIME! THAT'S NOT HOW CRITICISM WORKS!

>>157628592
It's not because certain events are important, it's because certain events have to occur to prevent paradoxes from occuring

for example, Mayuri needs to die on the Alpha worldline to motivate Okabe to create his terrorist group, which is the only reason that Suzuha can come back in time

Speaking of Sci;Adv series. Chaos;Child is coming out June 30th. Apprantly the VN is>>>>>>>>>than the anime, so I might pick it up.

>>157628716
Just because the anime told it poorly doesn't mean the story is bad.

>>157628716
Not sure if ironic or not, but in my case (third post) it's still explained on the anime, just that way more vaguely which leads to confusion.

>>157628716

Shit, also an amazing scene. I just wish 0 had the cohesion of its predecessor. It had a lot of incredible scenes and character interactions but none of them seemed to have anything to do with each other.

Further compounded by the fact that 50% of the VN is on one route and 50% the other. Why?

Samefag here, reading again what I just posted I feel like I need to say something else. The VN still has way more plot twists not told by the anime and huge ones, so don't let the anime adaptation turn you down from reading the VN (plus the VN only adapted the Common Route, the True Route will be adapted as an OVA).
Also, I haven't been in contact with certain people for a while so not even I knoe about a date, but PQube said they had some special announcement for some upcoming con, so hopefully they officially announce it by then.

>>157629012
You want to know something funny? On a recent interview with Chiyo for Dengeki, he said that he thought of making it 2-cour and that it would have allowed for adapting most scenes, but he considered it "impossible business". Hell if I know what he means by that. Even other Japanese companies don't want to deal with 5pb. because of Chiyo's stupid economic decisions. ReadingSteiner also offered them an already fully translated C;HN script, but they turned them down because "they would rather focus on the new games and bring the fans the newest experiences".

>>157629099
We instead got it as background music for the best part of the anime, so it was a fair trade off

So the anime only adapted one route then and not even the true ending? Nice to know there are still parts in the story that weren't covered and will be a surprise for me.

>>157629586
It adapted Common Route with a couple spoilers from other routes and that's all. And Common Route is HUGE. Common Route alone is longer than S;G's VN entirely. Another fun fact regarding this, the original C;C script was 5MB but it was cut down to 3MB. Due to the nature of Umehara's writing I suppose all of that were just minor details for setting, etc. so it probably made it flow much better. It's Umehara's first VN but he adapted incredibly good, and his talent shines greatly on the last chapters.

>Why the hell was the guy thinking?
At this point I don't even know, he has done too many weird movements to understand him.

On a side note, let's see what the announcement at GENESIS is. I wouldn't have expectations too high just in case though.

Ping Pong

Then MAYBE Steins;Gate but it's questionable with the Monogatari Series and Penguindrum

Calling them paradoxes is definitely a better way to describe what's happening, but it doesn't change the core problem, that from a writing perspective the only thing that justifies that set of plot events existing is the plot events themselves, like some sad Begging the Question fallacy of a story. It isn't anchored to a foundation of rules about the world or a chain of character motivations. It's just one character motivation that floats up there in an island with the rest of the dumb thing.
