It's just cheap waifu-bait dressed up with just enough pseudo-scientific to trick brainless anime consumers into thinking they're watching something clever, enabling them to defend it by insisting that all detractors JUST DON'T GET IT OK.

Okabe is creepy as shit. Kids don't like creepy men. Also she hates him in that one timeline because she thinks it's his fault her dad died and she carries that hatred into adulthood, tortures/kills Okabe, steals his time machine, jumps back tons and tons of times (2 day jump limit) to childhood and fucking goes apeshit.

This is exactly what I was talking about, nigger. Her dad has died because of SERN, yet she hates Okabe for no reason, she uses time machine despite that it was supposed to be captured by SERN and she jumps to the past for no reason. On top of that, she hasn't aged at all, despite jumping from the future.
She is also aware how multiple timelines work, knowing that killing Okabe at the time is impossible.

>On top of that, she hasn't aged at all, despite jumping from the future.
Scratch that, I forgot that his time machine only transfers the mind. Rest is valid though.
>>
>>389008464
She was a Rounder or similar SERN operative in the future and personally killed Okabe, holding him responsible for her father's death after having seen it happen.
This was all explained if you paid any goddamn attention to the VN.

For one, you somehow failed to understand that acting on knowledge obtained from the future and deleting the text from SERN's database stopped them from detecting it and hunting down the lab members, and thus, WW3 never started and Suzuha never came back in time, so the worldline was altered
>>
>>389009278
The original? You only need to complete it once. Zero? I think there's two routes you need to get through before the true ending unlocks. Which is a fucking slog and a terrible idea, a lot like most of Zero.

Everything about this show is reddit tier crap. And people actually call this show a classic. I'm honestly curious if 10 years from now whether people will still think Kurisu spewing horrifically out of date memes is funny.

>tfw to dumb for Steins:Gate
I watched it and didn't understand. Why does the other Okabe have to go through the 3 weeks of suffering if they changed the timeline? Why are they allowed to change important shit in the timeline like the mental Oopa but then have to leave Kisuru's "death" the same?
>>
>>389009351
Nigger, WW3 starts AFTER they delete the email and Suzuha goes back in time irregardless. Maybe you should play the game first?
>>
>>389009405
It's almost been 10 years from its release, and it's got a new game and new anime adaptation
>>
>>389009509
Because it came down to what was observed and what was not. You run into issues with causality if you start fucking with things that Okabe has explicit memory of, which will just invoke the universe to sort itself out.
Think the first time that Okabe went back. He tried to directly prevent the stabbing, which just caused the event to play out again via another means. The second time he preserved the elements he'd observed the first time (Kurisu on the floor, non-responsive and in a pool of blood) which meant that it didn't mess with history. The first Okabe still had to see that, leave and send the text that first changed the timeline.
Does that help at all?
>>
>>389009703
>unable to understand something simple
>says irregardless
yes, WW3 still starts, but not due to the capture of the lab members and the creation of the time machine by them. And your original complaint was that it "deleted all record of the text through time", so you're clearly very lost as to the effect that deletion had
>>
>>389009986
WW3 is not related to Okabe and his time machine at all.
It started because Nakabashi has killed Kurisu, stole her thesis and run away to Russia.

Play the game, secondary.
>>
when does the anime get good
>>
>>389009746
I was meaning another 10 years beyond that to bring its age into NGE territory. But then it's not like most people that see S;G go to 2ch anyways. The show implying that what Kurisu says is supposed to be funny is probably enough for them since that's how dumb memes are supposed to work.
>>
Steins;gate is best VN/anime. I enjoyed Zero and was sad it ended, and it's probably the end of the entire story.
Good luck finding plot holes. Also motivated me to get back into learning piano.
>>
>>389010458

>>
I think it's telling that the majority of people shitposting in this thread are talking about the show, rather than the VN. I'd hazard a guess that most of them watched either the dub or the official subs as well, then wonder why it's 'reddit'.
>>
>>389010556
you misunderstand, i have already played the VN. i am watching the anime afterwards and it is not good. but other people have assured me that it is good. is there a point where it becomes good?

>WW3 is not related to Okabe and his time machine at all.
>It started because Nakabashi has killed Kurisu, stole her thesis and run away to Russia.

not in the timeline where the e-mail exists, idiot. That's what we're talking about. That's the plotpoint you can't seem to wrap your head around. Try to keep up.
>>
>>389010676
There is no WW3 in email timeline, nigger.
>>
>>389010484
In the VN they're used mainly just to illustrate the types of people that the main cast are, the individual memes aren't actually super important. I don't think it's much of an issue. Remember, it's already seven years old.
>>
>>389008720

>>389008720
Not really, but it will completely mentally wreck you.
>>
>>389010779
Ah, you're right, wrong term. I always lump in the resistance/SERN dystopia with WW3. My mistake
>>
>>389010484
The contemporary internet culture references are not important parts of the dialogue. If you miss the humor, you still get the impression that they're nerds who are in over their heads. The rest of the story will age fine too. Not sure why you think the memes are the appeal, but you're wrong, and I expect you to admit that in 10 years
>>
>>389011393
Because most people with something against the VN act as if it's literally nothing but memes, so it's the focus of their arguments.

So why were there so many cases of people possessing Reading Steiner in 0?

More importantly, what caused the worldline change when Okabe was a child?
>>
>>389012475
>worldline change when Okabe was a child?
That was Y2K.
>So why were there so many cases of people possessing Reading Steiner in 0?
Because everybody has it to some extent. People that watched the anime tend to get this one confused since it explicitly reverses Okabe's realization that everybody has a degree of it in the true ending, for some fucking reason.
As for why it's so strong? I don't think they ever give a decent reason.
>>
>>389011393
I wouldn't be surprised if S;G is still well liked in 10 years but it won't be because it's a well written story.

It was implied it had to do with Okabe surviving whatever illness he had as a child.

>>
>>389013376
I was meaning the other people's. Nobody in the base VN shows too much in the way of symptoms other than Luka remembering the pager number, Mayuri having dreams of some of her deaths and Kurisu right at the end responding to a phrase and situation that yielded an extreme emotional response.
In 0, people with fairly precise recollections of events are seemingly everywhere.

>>
>>389006405
I think the vn was better for a number of reasons:
1) art style: kurisu looks a lot better in the vn
2) The longer length gives you more time to appreciate it and a better understanding of the story details
3) the character specific endings give a lot of character context that is missing from the anime. for example, if you watch the anime you'll probably think feris is an annoying bitch, but if you play her end in the vn you'll see how very wrong you were.
>>
>>389013997
that's an important point. Kurisu is hot as hell in the VN and official VN art. She's still attractive but distinctly less stunning in the anime.
Also, Faris is always annoying. One of the few objective improvements to the anime was cutting down her chapter.

0 isn't bad. It's just doesn't live up to the original and has a lot of wasted potential.

Decent but flawed. Not as good as the original but it makes you appreciate the true end of the original more, and the two main routes are good. The main complaint I've heard from people about it are that the true end was too short and a bit vague.

I'd recommend Gehenna first, but you can play them in any order. Just know that True End is reached from the end of the Vega and Altair after already completing Promised Rinascimento, so if you want to go straight from Vega and Altair into True End, save it for last.

S;G is less likely to make you straight-up cry at specific moments and more just leave you feeling drained. It's a fairly intense story once it gets going. More likely to wear you out than manipulate you.

One of my favorite pieces of fiction, even if it isn't perfect. It just connected with me perfectly with the mix of slice of life, science fiction, and romance. Plus Okabe is a great character and Kurisu is literally perfect it's insane.

VNs are fucking trash but the steins;gate anime is a great anime with a great story, but it is infected with ancient cringe tier maymays and it really brings it down.

It's sucks since the story is awesome, the dialogue is just shit
>>
>>389024859
Lucky for you that cringe tier maymay shit is only in the english sub version of the naime, no where in the VN but since you're fucking trash you aren't going to play it.
>>
If I could change one thing in the anime it'd be that Suzuha's foreshadowing wasn't so... fucking blatant.

So blatant that the characters have to act like outright retards not to indulge in some outright curiosity regarding it. And have it not abundantly clear to the audience that something is going on with her.

It'd make it far more interesting as a twist if we weren't expecting a twist all along.

That last part is where the series often falls apart purely on a directing level. So many things are supposed to be surprises but regardless of the content itself inevitably being surprising it sets up characters and moods where we're constantly expecting something to happen anyway. Seeing as we're on /v/ it's best comparable to say, shortcuts in the souls games where it's overly clear that they're going to be shortcuts later, so you just kinda plod through the motions expecting the shortcut to come.
>>
>>389025593
Most of the anime is rushed as fuck, what do you expect from a 30 hours story heavy VN compressed down to 10 hours of animu?
>>
>>389004809
only played chaos;head, which gets a 3, and steins;gate, which gets a 8.5 but would have probably gotten a 10 if uchikoshi hadn't ruined mystery sci-fi games for me
>>
>>389025593
>>389025762

It's even more hamfisted in the VN. That's the problem, in VNs you still get stupid characters, while in $CURRENT_YEAR people have experienced enough mystery stories to recognize foreshadowing when it happens.

I wish VNs got some kind of "rational" renaissance and characters stopped being retarded so I could actually experience the twists with them.

I know, I don't expect them to be "genre savvy", but if you ALREADY know time travel is a thing and this girl appears to not know anything about modern society you should be at least considering the possibility.

The main characters never, ever, even consider the twist before it happens. I assume that's to keep the twist fresh, but whatever. It's dumb.

Funny thing, I've never seen a Steins;Gate thread on /v/ before but now that I've almost completed the game for the first time I see one immediately. It's a great VN, no question about it, but I have one major complaint and that is how ridiculously difficult it is to get the true ending if you're playing blind. Like, goddamn. Among the countless emails that you get during the entire story, six have an effect on the true ending with some building up to a chain of emails, and you have to choose the right answer for EVERY SINGLE ONE or otherwise you're fucked. You can lock yourself out of the true ending as early as episode 4 (less than halfway through the game) and there's literally no way to know which emails are the important ones and what answers you're supposed to pick unless you're reading a guide. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make multiple non-canon endings that can be achieved really easily and then hide the true ending behind a bunch of cryptic bullshit that no ordinary human can get past without a walkthrough? Jesus.

Out of the non-canon endings, Suzuha's ending had the biggest impact on me.

The only two good time travel stories are Back to the Future (for ignoring the science and focusing entirely on one or two simple concepts and fun) or Homestuck (which autistically closed every loop and issue in order to lampoon how complex time travel stories would have to be)

I didn't even know Steins;Gate was a story with time travel when I got it, just that it was sci-fi and that I heard good things about it and Kurisu's design added dick influence to the decision. When time travel is implemented in fiction like shit to get around holes in writing or to make it seem more deep than it is, or fixates on it like it's some marvel in story telling, it annoys me, not time travel itself.

>>389031672
I'm impressed at how good they were at writing characters.
Mayuri was never annoying and was really enjoyable. Cute too. I still feel like there was a missing plot element with her. Like she knew more than she let on. I thought her grandma would play a role or something.
Shining Finger I KNEW we couldn't trust and hated her... till I got to her route and she kinda looks cute without her glasses.
Daru is great, Faris is fun, etc.
I honestly liked all the characters. Maybe if girl Luka did a bit more, it'd be better but it's minor.

Excuse me, but Okabe is smart and very handsome.

I hated that both of them were restricted by timey wimey bullshit to harm one another.

It didn't really introduce enough new plot elements to justify another VN so a huge amount of screen time gets wasted on aimless character interaction. It has some extremely good scenes but probably could have been stripped and shoved into Steins;Gate instead of being a sequel. Ends on a really shitty note because of this and sometimes mucks up the established time travel mechanics.
Still worth a read.

I liked 0, but it was really weirdly put together. It makes you think all that Amadeus shit is going sonewhere, but it doesn't, not really. So it spends all this time with it then just dumps that whole plotline when the villains are revealed. And Punished Okabe is almost too much. It gets almost too negative to fucking handle, but then it turns into a saturday morning cartoon and everything is k. The whole thing felt pretty rushed and poorly thought out, like they just threw it together as fast as they could, the fucking incredibly easy route management compared to S;G's batshit insane bullshit is pretty telling, I think.

If it was just presented as a 'what if' for Kurisu ending up in Okabe's position it would've gone over a lot better. Most of the character stuff was on point, but it made them look like idiots because of the context.

Only the route that reaches the true end is canonical, the rest are not canonical so debating their logic is pointless.

>faris end
Same thing goes for this.

>Nae
It's understandable she hates the protagonist, he's a fucking weirdo.
That aside, her impossible access to the time machine is actually a valid complaint since it makes no sense for her to actually be able to use it during the period in which SERN has it stored. In other words she could have never time leaped that many times without interruptions along the way that made it impossible to go on further.

>Braun's job
Braun wants to get the IBN 5100 to save his daughter not himself from the rounders. In theory they'd "let her be free".

>Jelly Mayuri
I dunno about this. Then again, it's an optional event that does not need to happen to reach the true end.

>deleting a recording of an email...
>>389037001
It didn't delete the mail from existence across all of time.
SERN's echelon gathers mails at the moment they are recieved, if you delete the mail from the database it would never get into the database again unless you sent it again.
If the mail is deleted SERN never gets functional time-travel technology, Kurisu never becomes the "mother of the time machine" and the Future gadget lab is never raided.

>rounders and hundreds of goons
Their main base of operations is Europe, they can easily just send some people over. After all, to them it's the greatest advancment in time-travel technology they've ever seen so it's no surprising they would devote such numbers.

>viral attackers hundreds of goons
It's not hundreds of goons, it's just a couple of them chasing Faris and Okabe. Where did you get the "hundreds of goons" part?

>>389040359
The only reason the beta timeline where the majority of the first game takes place is because SERN's Echelon program detects the d-mail and is read by the Committee of 300, thereby letting them realize that time machines are possible, leading to the future dystopia where Suzuha comes from.

By deleting this d-mail, SERN never realizes time machines are possible so they can't build their desired future.

I don't think it's a waste of time, but I do agree the true ending sorta ruined the concept of "fate is unavoidable" or "the world made by god is in perfect balance"
I wanted the ending to be more like oedipus rex not in THAT way, where the protagonist actually suffers some sort of consequence. I was expecting Zero to fix this somewhat by adding more effort and challenge but it did the opposite.

>>389041349
I'd like to think so. The story's a heart-wrencher involving fucked up time travel. As perfect as she is, Kurisu is just icing on the cake.

The best part of the series for me was when Okabe realized how serious the situation he had gotten himself into was and ditched his chunni behaviour for a little while.
In all honesty I would have liked for the true ending to be what would be the equivalent of episode 23b, or the last part of the visual novel without the d-video, Okabe getting all worked up for another chance and returning to his Hououin persona only to realize that his hopes are for naught. I like it when series go an extra mile and ditch the happy ending for one with some actual consequence. His false hope is what makes it the more emotional and interesting. Zero did exactly this but failed miserably. im not sadistic trust me

I just really love tragic stories!

Still, don't take me wrong, I loved the ending I think it's one of the best out there and it's really smart on how it actually delivers the twist.
It's just my personal preference, I mean im the kind of guy who though the madoka movies had a great ending. And also liked Serial Experiments Lain's ending, both of which are somewhat tragic. Code Geass too, that had a nice (not nice) ending, too bad they are probably going to spoil it with a sequel

He must have figured out that it was the very existence of time travel technology (and observing the future) that causes convergence. When there's no time travel, the future has endless unknown possibilities.
>>
>>389045137
is not a perfect worldline, is just a wordline where the future is not stablished the movie ignores that fact with the presence of Suzuha
>>
>>389045391
In the anime it's noticeable since you can just binge watch it within a weekend, but in the VN the amount of real time between both events is huge so you don't really see the twist coming until the very last moments due to the fact you probably forgot the details of the first encounter with Kuristina.
I noticed the consequence of deleting the e-mail would be to kill Kurisu almost at the same point in time Okabe did, so that's either clever writing or im just a fucking goldfish.

>>389047705
Indeed, don't play it if you don't want to read a half-assed story. The entirety of NoAH is relevant, all of its routes build up the story and concepts, so as you can guess, reading just the Common Route (aka base C;H) is going to leave a good part of the plot and concepts unexplained.
If you aren't in a hurry and can wait a fair amount of time (maybe around a year), read NoAH when it's translated. If you desire to play it now, just know that the story is lacking a big part of it (NoAH is 50% bigger than base C;H) and that it's much MUCH better, so if you see somewhat like it or see potential in it, absolutely check it out when it's translated.
>>
>>389047938
But the whole point of attractor fields is that effect is what matters, not the cause. Even of it's not over time machines, convergence declares that WWIII must happen in the 1.000000-1.999999% divergence.

>>389048435
C;C does stand as an incredible story itself. While C;H and mainly NoAH does build a bit on things that happen during C;C and they both have some relations, you can still play C;C first and then read NoAH.
If you want to read C;C soon, my recommendation would be for you to read C;H first, then C;C and wait until NoAH is released if you remotely liked either C;H or C;C.
Also, while both C;H and C;C are fairly similar in some aspects, they still are pretty different in a lot of them, so don't create many expectations for C;C based on C;H.
>>
>>389047632
It's in the alpha field in name only. The entire point of the worldline is that it sits at the point that Alpha and Beta pull at each other, functionally cancelling each other out. That's why he can have his cake and eat it too when it comes to Kurisu and Mayuri surviving.
>>
>>389048619
Hey, you seem to know. Everyone says that C;H goes to shit by the end, but I've been hearing a bunch of praise for C;C. Does C;C not have the same problems?
>>
>>389048349
Not true. Attractor fields do have causes, but the issue is that addressing secondary causes doesn't work, you have to go to the source (for Alpha, the D-Mail in Echelon; for Beta, the time travel thesis)
>>
>>389004809
C;H: 8/10 until last quarter, at which it becomes 3/10 until ending B, at which it becomes 9/10
S;G: 8.5/10
S;G0: 6/10
N:A: 9/10
>>
>>389048773
I am of the opinion that every piece of work has some problems if you look for them, but just because it has problems doesn't mean a title isn't good.
C;C does have a few problems here and there as any other work does, but it's in my opinion an actual kamige, it's an incredible masterpiece that I would recommend everyone to read it at some point of their lives. It's not only incredibly entertaining and engaging, but it even goes as far as to criticize aspects of today's world more than the other titles do, and it's done pretty good.
C;H does have a weak and somewhat random ending, the tone shifts heavily and while that on itself is not bad, it lacks the prepation pf NoAH so it catches you off guard much more and it doesn't feel that much of a good ending because there's a fair amount of plot unexplained.
NoAH and C;C both force you into the Common Route first, then you have to do the other routes and finally you reach the True Ending. This causes the story to be properly built up for what comes because it doesn't leave plot unexplained, the concepts have been fully developed and there's been more build up for the final sequences. C;H lacks a good part of the build up and explanations from NoAH, so there's the problem of the ending fealing much mroe out of place and weak.

So to summarize, C;C indeed doesn't have this problem, as everything is properly built up, and NoAH also fixes this problem C;H has.

>>
>>389049538
If you just want to read C;H, then yeah waiting for NoAH is much better. Regardless, C;H does have a fairly good Common Route until the final part, which is problematic due to lacking the content of NoAH. So with the translation of C;C on the sight, I would still recommend people to play C;H for both how good most of its Common Route is and because it's somewhat recommendable to read before C;C. As long as you take into account that it's an incomplete story and it's much better with all the content NoAH adds, it should be good if you plan on reading NoAH at some point. If you think you might never read NoAH because of the ending C;H has and the unexplained plot, then I would advise you to wait for NoAH.

Okay samefag here, I should make something clearer. Common Route from NoAH is also the route C;H follows, but it's the A Ending. This means that there's still that part that in C;H seems far weaker, but in NoAH you get the A Ending for sure, with AA Ending being the True Ending (although NoAH does expand a bit more on the True Ending).
Thanks to this, when you end it feels like "oh wait, so there's more, what happened isn't the resolution to the story", and therefore doesn't leave the same taste.
After you go through the other routes, everything has been explained and the True Ending has been better built up. Afterwards, you can press a button on the main menu (which doesn't appear until you have completed all the other routes), and you start directly at the final part of the Common Route, but this time it's the True Ending. With the previous build up, the True Ending feels much better, satisfying and like it belongs to the story. With NoAH's changes to the True Ending and all of this, the ending feels much more like the closure to the story which had you engaged.

The only problem I see to this is that there's still the heavy tone shift there which happened previously, so if you didn't like that then I guess that's going to stick with you, since the True Ending starts from a latter part. The thing about this is that it's thrown aside more after getting the A Ending, and after reading all of NoAH, the tone shift seems more satisfying too.

I'm not even sure why you think that. This is a genuinely new opinion to me. S;G 0 felt even more self-contained than the original because all I felt I was reading was fan service and didn't notice any other wider references.

DaSH is the story being written to tie the stories altogether. 0 was literally an SG cash grab.

When they realize S;G is their only series that makes any kind of money, which should be soon. I'm actually really looking forward to a true sequel.
>>
>>389053019
Shame, because I think R;N could be a decent series with more fleshing out

You forgot the part that says "in the west." MAGES doesn't give a fuck about us though, that's why we either get translations several years later or just not at all.

Japs eat all those VNs up. Well, except R;N. Nobody actually likes R;N except for like 2 hipsters.

When would a true sequel even take place though? As ill-received as it was, 0 explained how Okabe got the video d-mail.
>>
>>389041918
That would completely undermine everything that happened in S;G and S;G0.

This. S;G won't ever get a true sequel. The closest you'll get is DaSH and the final SciADV story that concludes the overall plotline. Hell, maybe they'll even actually write the LN that they scrapped which was about the S;G characters years after the OG ended, which was meant to conclude their story.

Of course it was scrapped though because a Science;Adventure Q is inevitable, and you can't write an individual story conclusion plot without writing Q first.

>lol Suzuha is back even though it's 1.048596!

Thank God that novel was cancelled.

>as of R;N, in-universe it's been 10 years since the committee of 300 started making their moves
>meanwhile all the characters that were seen in C;H and S;G are getting old and passed their prime
>somehow have to write a realistic plot where a bunch of old people and teenagers come together to fight the big bad

LEL. This is probably why Chiyo is starting to ditch scidv for SVN. Bunch of hacks can't write an overall story without being written into a corner.

On the Steins;Gate worldline. The whole point of getting to Steins;Gate was getting somewhere where the future is unknown, so it's really not hard to believe somethings going to go horribly wrong. I bet they already have a rough outline of what a sequel would look like if they were far enough into production of Committee of Antimatter before it was cancelled. They've essentially got a blank slate to make anything.

And S;G 0 really wasn't ill-received at all. Ask almost anyone and they'll tell you S;G was better than Zero, but it was by no means badly received. I guarantee a true sequel would sell like crazy.
>>
>>389054505
But that's what R;N is for.
>>
>>389054505
S;G0 was good but it did suffer from some problems like Amadeus not being utilized well enough and Kagari was a pretty bad character.
>>
>>389054705
Completely agree, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
>>
>>389054705
What I want to know is: where the fuck was Amadeus Maho? We never saw her outside of that presentation in the beginning.
>>
>>389054505
A true sequel MIGHT sell like crazy but would also be poorly received by the established fanbase due to how fucking pointless it is. Even Chiyomaru doesn't wanna write one because he knows it's better to milk with side content.
>>
>>389054932
By the end of S;G 0 she was deleted because that world line becomes no longer active.

In OG S;G, she obviously still exists, but we know nothing about the advancements of that Tech. I'd gather it probably leads to the tech that developed Sister Centipede in the first place, but we'll never see Amadeus Maho again.
>>
>>389055264
I didn't mean in the story, I mean why did we never get to see her in the VN beyond that scene?
>>
>>389054932
I think Amadeus Maho was a proof of concept, where Maho had a connection with Kurisu and wanted her AI to evolve.
>>
>>389055462
Yeah, Amadeus Maho wasn't connected to the internet or anything. And none of the competing groups in the game cared about her because she didn't know the time travel theory.
>>
>>389055382
It wasn't necessary. She gets mentioned every now and then but as for as Amadeus is concerned, the only AI needed was Amadeus Kurisu. Why bother with Amadeus Maho when Real Maho is still around?
