Has anybody here watched this? I know that some on /tv/ dislike

You are close to the part where it gets interesting. All that buildup will be rewarded. Just continue.

okabe carries this show on his back alone

Literally Groundhog Day but shit

You fucked up by not picking up the VN.

I watched half-way through the first episode.

Suddenly some crossdressing faggot shows up and prances around with no actual relation to the plot.
Apparently the Japanese and weebs get off on the idea of girly men pretending to be uguu kawaii girls to satiate their closeted gay impulses. That's considered normal "fanservice" now.

Been a while since I dropped a series that fast.

Real time travel kino right here lads

Wait till episode 14 and make ur final decision, if I remember that's when I started loving it.

I played the VN instead of watching it. The story gets good, but yeah it does take a while. I feel like the extreme exposition is necessary.

wrong board retarded weebshit

The first half is basically a setup for all the crazy stuff that will commence in the second, but yeah, it's real fucking slow. I watched the whole thing first time without any problems, but on rewatching the 1st half really dragged on to the point that I dropped it.

As for your complaints, half of them are just anime-related in general.

>>78940716
It never gets good.

>but I heard this was the absolute pinnacle of time travel exploration in any visual medium
lol

>>78941079
>playing porn games

>>78940716
the neckbeard stops being important later, and yeah, as others have said once the plot kicks in it gets pretty good.

Anyone know how the Steins;gate 0 VN compares? Just as good or worse?

>that episode where it's revealed they're all Nazi scientists captured by the allies
Cool twist, but why weren't they Japanese scientists?

Dr Peper is fuckin shit

It's overrated and not even close to the best time travel story in anime, let alone other visual mediums.

If you have low tolerance for anime bullshit but want to watch good and 2deep4u anime, watch Death Note, Haruhi, Evangelion or Madoka.

If you just want a really complex time travel plot with grounded rules and shit, read Homestuck or play a time travel-based video game like Radiant Historia or even Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I find that Tv shows and movies, animated or not, never manage to go in-depth enough because it's so much easier to just go "lol time travel".

whoa you're stunningly pleb

Currently going through Steins;Gate 0. I've gotten half of the endings so far. I'm enjoying it a lot but it is quite different from the original. It's worth a try if you liked Steins;Gate but it's not as good as it.

>>78940716
Steins;Gate is garbage and one of the most mediocre anime I've seen to date. If you want a title that actually does a cool spin on time traveling and does it far better than S;G, watch Noein.

>>78941985
>read Homestuck
This is absolutely terrible advice. Never under any circumstances read that shit.

>>78940716
The core story is pretty enjoyable but you can sort of tell it's a visual novel to begin with. Some sequences feel kinda date-sim like.

also theres a plot hole with how he reached the rewind machine thingy without getting stopped by the armed men everytime that bothered me a lot

>>78941613
>porn games
It's not, you colossal faggot

>>78941985
I really liked Steins;Gate take on time travel, and I fucking hate always hate time travel

trash

>>78940716
As far as I recall the show sucked for about 10 episodes, then became good for the rest of the series (excluding the final episode)

It gets better keep watching. You don't have anything else do anyway fag.

I don't know if it's ever actually said outright, but I just assumed it was because of attractor field theory as he's not supposed to die until 2025

>>78940716
there is something big incoming. dunno what episode but it comes. then it drags on.

i did abort it at some point. the mad scientist faggot is too anying too.

in my opinion extremly overrated. good thing is the mood and washed bright colors. you can almost feel the japan summer heat. too bad it isnt my cup of tea because i wanted to like it.
