I'm convinced that only anime oldfags are capable of appreciating this show. What went wrong with anime fans in the last decade?

Society.

>>280435467 (OP)
majority of anime fans are zoomers now. they are all pseudo-elitists and fake their taste to look smart and shit. i'd suggest you to ignore those retards and just enjoy whatever you like

>>280435528
>i'd suggest you to ignore those retards and just enjoy whatever you like
but how do i get to look smart and shit yhen

I love this show, but let's be honest, it looks like shit and dated like milk.

I know basically nothing about Steins;Gate. What's so great about it and why should I give it a chance?

>>280435467 (OP)
Easy. You had to actually be smart to get into anime in the 90s or 2000s. You had to learn to bittorent at minimum or do other things. Nowadays? Any retard Zoomer can watch anime on netflix and think what they are watching is some underground thing despite the fact that a billion dollar US company subbed it for them.

>>280435617
Steins;Gate is a surreal viewing experience that's an absolute must watch for all fans of sci-fi. According to Anime Vice, "It's like somebody taped an episode of The Big Bang Theory over a copy of Donnie Darko."

>>280435467 (OP)
SG's humor and dialogue are dated and don't look good outside of their time period. This is honestly at least as much a fault of the show's writing as it is the new anime watchers you complain about.

>>280435556
in the eyes of sOcIeTy, if you have top rated/critically acclaimed shows as your favs, you have a gr8 taste. if not, you'd be treated as an outcast. just ignore those retards and leave from this faggotry i.e. elitism in animu

>>280435467 (OP)
It's one of the highest rated anime among zoomers though

>>280435467 (OP)
>show is full of dated references
Yeah no wonder

>>280435467 (OP)
>NOOOOO YOU HAVE TO BE OLD TO ENJOY ANIME

shut up nigger people here were watching anime in their teens and 20s and now are 30-40. What changed is a wider pool of participants and mass appeal being the goal of studios. Good shows with high quality narritives still come out, and they still receive attention and high scores. Just because Jung cock from solo leveling won 10 normie awards doesn't mean people can't "appreciate anime" anymore.

>>280435716
You mean all 10 of the zoomers that didn't drop it?

>>280435668
>Donnie Darko
Haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember it being whiny, juvenile, pretentious crap.
>The Big Bang Theory
Yeah, maybe this show isn't for me...

>>280435812
>le i only like animu when it has a good rating
>virtue signalling as a pseudo-elitist
kys fake anime fan. you'll never be like us (true animu fans)

>>280435467 (OP)
I h/a/ve a dream that one day, we'll be able to talk about the shows we want to without needing to bait.

>>280435467 (OP)
Steins;Gate was unironically never good and it looks like shit even to normalfags when you take it out of its own time period, because it relies so hard on aged memes and references to get people to care about its characters.

>>280435883
(YOU)

>>280435966
kys faggot ass /co/omer. you think you're some big shit? you'll never be like us (true animu fans)

>>280435834
Are you guys all living in a bubble? This shit is constantly spammed on /a/ and twitter

>>280435812
If you weren't here in 2010 you will never truly understand OP's anime.

>>280436017
See
>>280435919
You faggots are always so retarded, disingenuous, and insecure. God forbid you have an opinion without covering it in 30 layers of irony. A random person you don't know might disagree with you nooooooooooo

>>280436003
Twitter feeds are tailored to your likes dummy. Not everyone is seeing the things you do.

>>280435467 (OP)
John Titor was an obscure reference even back then.

>>280435467 (OP)
I’ve still only read the visual novel.

>>280435467 (OP)
>Appeal to le oldfag to make your overrated shit look better
S;G was always a 6/10 anime even back then.

>>280436369
So true king /a/s favorite scifi is Deca-Dence

You can't just blame Zoomers for everything.

>>280436430
It's LotGH actually

>>280435467 (OP)
I'm 36 and like SciAdv in general but honestly S;G anime is a 7.5/10 at most. The VN is a bit better.

>>280436478
Slop of the Faglatic Queeros is nothing compared to the sheer brilliance of Deca-Dence, sorry.

>>280435668
>"It's like somebody taped an episode of The Big Bang Theory over a copy of Donnie Darko."
That quote just makes the show sound like shit

>>280436604
Based, anti homo anon.

>>280435467 (OP)
Steins;Gate is the opposite of timeless. It's aged badly compared to most normal stories. Maybe that's a flaw the writing.

>>280435467 (OP)
SG overwelcomed its stay and the episodes stretched too thin to create room for content.

>>280435467 (OP)
Better shows with time traveling came out like Summertime Rendering

>>280435467 (OP)
It's the opposite. Only children with no jobs can appreciate wasting so much time on boring junk before any payoff. Older anons with jobs and other things to worry about in life find it insulting.

>>280436604
Steins;Gate > LotGH >>>>>>>> Deca-Dence
Kill yourself

>>280435467 (OP)
outdated internet slang and memes arent funny anymore

>>280437088
Zoomer taste. You can always spot them when they just repeat whatever others tell them. You haven't watched any of these shows little guy, come back when you've stepped out of the shounenbox

>>280436431
Oh yeah? Watch me.

>>280435467 (OP)
>last decade
Gaymergaters thinking they're better than election tourists again

>>280435467 (OP)
You got old.

>>280435617
i don't know what that other retard is talking about but its just cool and chill and fun to imagine having a lab and friends to hang out with

This is retribution for being a bunch of cocky fags
t. Muv Luv

>>280435467 (OP)
That's like the most normalfag friendly gateaway anime there is. Unless OP is jesting, you are a fucking tard.

>>280439769
Maybe you're retarded because S;G is dedicated otakucore and hasn't been a normalfag show for probably 10 years at this point.

>>280435467 (OP)
I'm older than oldfags, it's shit

>>280435467 (OP)
Anime went to shit with the advent of Fortnite culture.

>>280439655
Steins;Gate is rated higher than Muv Luv now so keep coping.

>>280440096
>Fortnite
>culture
IP crossovers aren't culture.

>>280439382
Half of the people on this board are just Old Man Yelling At Cloud levels of deranged now. None of you are getting any younger.

>>280440004
Those who identify as "otaku", they sicken me deeply.

I don't know what the fuck happened but you genuinely cannot talk about this show anymore in any capacity. Want to have genuine discussion? REEE S;G IS SHIT. Make a shitty bait thread to drum up replies because that's the only way to get a thread going nowadays? REEE S;G POSTERS ARE CANCER. It's like flcl, you can't talk about the show without shitters coming out of the woodwork to shit on it and call it "criticism" when they're just shitposters.

>>280441019
all "criticism" of S;G is shitposting because there's nothing to criticize

>>280435467 (OP)
I'm an ancient and I really disliked it.

EL

>2011 is considered oldfag now
Man I remember when the target audience (myself included) for this show was considered cancer. Take me back.

>>280435773
It's weird how people are okay with these characters literally speaking cringey memes out loud just because the memes are from 2chan. Of course the dub replaced them with Reddit memes to predictable results.

>>280435617
Read the VN, ignore the anime or watch it as an extra

>>280441019
>S;G is shit
>S;G posters are cancer
Both of these things are true.

>>280435467 (OP)
They only watch shounenshit now.

>>280435467 (OP)
The reason is Netflix, there's a whole thread about all of the new cancer they've pulled into the medium.

>>280439655
Muv luv is pretty meh. Not sure how it was rated so highly for so long when the story shits itself past Sadogashima and the ending sucks ass. Takeru is also one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen, one of the few cases of a protagonist that becomes more annoying after he gets "development"

You didn't gatekeep hard enough. None of you did.

>>280435467 (OP)
Oldfags with taste already knew Steins;Gate was normalfag bait when it first aired. It's an average anime at best.

>>280435668
>It's like somebody taped an episode of The Big Bang Theory over a copy of Donnie Darko.
no wonder it is trash

>>280443759
But I call someone here a newfag every single day, how could it not have worked?

>>280435467 (OP)
One time in high school this guy at my lunch table asked me what my favorite anime was at the time, and I said Steins;Gate. Then he gave me a really smug look and told me it was the highest rated anime on myanimelist or something.

>>280436217
>I’ve still only read the visual novel.
Why would you need anything else?

>>280444137
You both kind of sound like fags not gonna lie

>>280435653
Anon, Stein's Gate was literally on Crunchyroll. And any retard millennial(like me) was watching anime on Toonami, 4Kids, and on demand in the 90s and 2000s without having to torrent a thing.

>>280435467 (OP)
>old good new bad
>the old isn't even that old
Kill yourself.

>>280444945
15 years isn't old? Kek, it's retro anime, when Steins Gate came out, Eva was 15 years old

>>280435467 (OP)
I'd still plap kurisu

>>280445640
You are 15 years old.

>>280436209
Hence the need for oldfags to appreciate it.

>>280442204
It's not weird. Newfags are trained to be reduced to a state of pure seethe by the existence of other websites similar to 4chan, but they don't know about 2D culture to recognize that Japan has memes too forget what they are and so aren't triggered in the same way
>>280443959
also this

>>280445640
Steins;Gate is retro, but it's like one of those shitty retro things like the obnoxious carpet designs and single web pages taking 5 minutes to load on dial up internet instead of any of the good stuff.

Nullpo

Based Muv Luv Chad

>>280435467 (OP)
I thought this generation would break the cycle of always complaining about the people younger than them.

Steins;Gate like Suzumiya Haruhi is a product of anime being a lot more experimental than the formulaic show concepts we know today
as with most experimental takes on art, its progressively weird in its presentation and is in itself plagued by extremes, its ups being far above the rest of its peers but its downs equally harsh when looked back on. they should not be judged as masterpieces themselves but as the guides for those following what they teach

>>280447968
I think Haruhi is a good comparison because both it and Steins;Gate are anime that I would say have not aged well. Haruhi was far more groundbreaking than Steins;Gate though, I don't know what Steins;Gate teaches or influenced that's of any worth.

>>280435528
>they are all pseudo-elitists
It's hysterical that you would say this in defense of the most pseudo-intellectual, redditesque, tryhardy anime ever made.

>>280435467 (OP)
Are you seriously using old good new bad to try and defend why nobody likes your favorite anime anymore?

>>280435467 (OP)
Steins;Gate sucked.

>>280435467 (OP)
>REEEEEEE I COULDNT FINISH IT BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS ANNOYING THE FIRST 10 MINUTES

>>280441324
PSY

Dr. Pepper is shit

>>280435668
>It's like somebody taped an episode of The Big Bang Theory over a copy of Donnie Darko
I'm not touching this

>>280435467 (OP)
I don't even consider this show OLD.

>>280449941
He's annoying for almost the entire show though

>>280451851
These people always say that he stops being annoying after the first episode.
Also nah you are.

>>280451957
Who are "these people"? Nobody who finds him annoying thinks he's suddenly fine starting from episode 2.

It's certainly an interesting time capsule of the older to middle days of the internet. Back before everything became a wiki or a reddit and you actually had to dig around for stuff and communicate with people. People were more tech savvy to even get online in the first place so it made for a very different environment.

>>280452040
Pretty much everyone says that. My friends said that and all the people online too

>>280452169
No they don't.

>>280439655
Ill never forgive them.
Fuck muvluv.

>>280439655
That would be funny if Muv Luv wasn't currently on Gacha number 5 and openly talking about using AI to make their VNs in the future. Steins;Gate's been far better managed. It has a decent anime for fuck's sake. Glass houses and all that.

>>280441019
same on /v/

The universe has a beginning, but it has no end. —Infinite.
Stars too have a beginning, but are by their own power destroyed. —Finite.
History teaches that those who hold wisdom are often the most foolish. The fish in the sea know not the land. If they too hold wisdom, they too will be destroyed. It is more ridiculous for man to exceed light speed than for fish to live ashore. This may be called God's ultimatum to those who rebel

>>280435467 (OP)
People gradually realizing that Steins;Gate is a shit anime is one of the only good modern anime trends.

>>280435467 (OP)
you are 42 years old, fuck of grandpa

Anime based from visual novels are never good. Yes i mean all of them FSN, Higurashi. All of them, they diminish the over all plot and i dont mean BC there isnt hentai in it.

>>280453259
S;G's anime is great, you're just being a pointless contrarian again in typical /a/ fashion.

S,Gate anime was nice.
Woudl have been nicer without all that homo yaoi shit with ruka.Man, how I hate fags.

>>280435467 (OP)
Nothing went wrong. Times just change grandpa.

>>280435467 (OP)
Memes don't age well and have a clear shelf life. This isn't hard to understand.

>>280435467 (OP)
>Oh my phone banana microwave!!!! Curisutinaaaa I neeed my Dr. Pibber!!!!
This series literally was never good.
