This is one of the best series I've ever seen, and the story has me really hooked. Is anyone else here following the show? Subs come out every Tuesday, and I watch it the night it comes out. As for discussion of the latest episode (21):

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,416 Member No.: 6,453 Joined: Apr 2nd 2005 Location: ¯\(º_o)/¯ | I was planning on making this thread along with a couple of others when the season started but just went "fuk it, not like anyone's gonna care anyway" lol. And this is why we can't have nice things here anymore Seriously though, Steins;Gate is pretty damn godlike. People who like sci-fi, mystery type thrillers should definitely check this out. A lot of people were touting this as being the best show of the season before it even aired. I was a little reluctant in believing it at first, but decided to check it out as it was airing anyway. Halfway through and i finally understood why people were making such statements. Now as it's approaching the finale, all i ask for is just for a solid no nonsense bullshit ending to wrap up a mighty damn good show. |

I'll follow this up to episode 5, no matter how bad/good it'll turn out (for me) before deciding to stick to it. Episode 1's okay, just that I kinda hate it when they jumble up the scenes here and there nonsensically (at least in that episode) to make it 'intellectual'. But I do like the idea of time travelling and I suppose such style is normal in that genre. |

Also, most recent episode was a tear jerker. Liked how the ending phased out to drop a bombshell about the current timeline Okabe is in. |

Yeah, I liked that too. Definitely one of those "stick around after the credits" things. | ||

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,416 Member No.: 6,453 Joined: Apr 2nd 2005 Location: ¯\(º_o)/¯ | ^ I admit i cracked a smile when the ending credits started getting a little "unusual" But for those on the fence, Steins;Gate doesn't really kick into gear until about 12 or 14 episodes into it. Doesn't mean that the earlier episodes aren't worth watching though since it's all character building up until that one point and it's not like the characters are boring either. Hell the main character, Mad Scientist Hououin Kyouma is blast to watch on his own |

Woah woah woah what? Just the opposite for me! There were so many interesting developments in the story, it kept me glued to the screen... that is, until

whut? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,416 Member No.: 6,453 Joined: Apr 2nd 2005 Location: ¯\(º_o)/¯ | @ KyonPalm, well i mentioned that because eps 12 is when one of the major development occurs and the show starts to head in a slightly different direction than the previous episodes. A slight case of the old bait and switch technique if you get what i mean, as in the real meat of the show really begins from eps 12 onwards and that if you've liked what you saw for 11 eps, then here's a real treat for staying this long. With that said though, it's not like I'm trying to say that the first 11 eps were weak by any means. Steins;Gate is a pretty damn good show all around throughout all of its entire episode and anyone even remotely interesting should definitely start watching it for sure. -------------------------------------- Also, on eps 23
El, Psy, Congroo indeed This post has been edited by bROCKoLEE on Sep 7 2011, 02:52 AM | ||

HEY MISTER! Yes? Who are you? I am Mad Scientist! It's so cool! Son of a b*tch... he looks like me... We'd better get out of here soon. Quickly - I'm sure it will work this time! |

Point Guard Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,329 Member No.: 33,736 Joined: Aug 15th 2009 Location: Malaysia | I watched the first two episodes when they first came out, kinda liked it but then I got busy. Now I'm searching for some series to watch, so I think I'm going to follow this up. A lot to catch up though Usually I'm not a fan of 20++ episode animes, unless if they're outstanding in a way like ID First stage. |

Oh Steins;Gate is definitely worth watching. I'd gladly put an open recommendation for Steins;Gate any day of the week Also havn't seen this mentioned in the thread yet, but they're also making a Steins;Gate movies that's in the works right now. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/news/20...-film-green-lit A little bit of an old news yea i know, but it wasn't mentioned yet so i thought I'd bring it up lol | ||

IDW Goldmember Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 2,453 Member No.: 34,203 Joined: Oct 22nd 2009 Location: NJ, USA | Spent the whole day marathoning this... regrettably, though not because the series wasn't good, but because I have four days worth of homework that I needed to do but didn't because Hououin Kyouma seduced me. >.< Yeah, I wasn't really hooked until about halfway through. Before that point, I felt that the characters were too static and predictable. Fortunately, the latter half proved me wrong on nearly all accounts, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Probably one of the best endings I've ever seen. Got a little repetitive at some parts, but overall, definitely worth watching. 8/10. Since it wasn't mentioned, Robotics;Notes is getting an anime adaptation later this year. Same branch that made the Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate visual novels. Oh, and I'll be attending Anime Boston later this week. Get to see concerts from Haruko Momoi and Kanako Ito, both whom worked on Steins;Gate.

Halko Momoi performed at AX one year but I skipped out on it in favor of sleeping in. What a mistake that was... Still waiting on the first Guest of Honor confirmations to come rolling in... | ||

IDW Goldmember Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 2,453 Member No.: 34,203 Joined: Oct 22nd 2009 Location: NJ, USA | The line will inevitably be long and probably start very early, considering Steins;Gate is relatively popular and the concerts are scheduled back-to-back in the same room. Not looking forward to waiting all day on Friday. But yeah, I only really go to cons for the concerts and vibe. |

Tried to differentiate it a bit by adding the divergence number of the world line that I believe matches my avatar. Didn't actually check to confirm. |

IDW Goldmember Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 2,453 Member No.: 34,203 Joined: Oct 22nd 2009 Location: NJ, USA | I'm doubting I'll be keeping this combination for very long, since I didn't really identify with any of the characters. Just felt like putting something up. It's nearly midnight on my side of the US. I'm hoping to be in bed by the time it's 11pm PST... though at this point, it's not likely. Late to bed and early to rise makes Kiro regret procrastinating and promises he never keeps. This post has been edited by Kiroshino on Apr 1 2012, 08:24 PM |

So have I, but I've held off thinking I didn't want to break the trend we both have. Guess I'll finally do it once you change yours now. | ||
