I've probably been here for longer than you. S;G is not that good.

>>283168729 (OP)
Anyone who wasn't here in 2011 wouldn't even be able to grasp what made the show so great. You really had to be there as it was airing to get it.

The original is good buts it's basically become like marges Chanel dress in that episode of Simpsons each iteration has irreparably damaged the original
S;g was the only good adventure science VN

>>283169179
>admits the show is bad unless you're nostalgic

>>283169043
It's better than your shounenslop and your nostalgia bait. The show is loved despite having a slow buildup and no benefit of shallow hype moments because the plotting and character development is just really good.

I didn't like it.

I mean, it's not bad, but Subaru raping Sylphie while Megumin was giving birth to his baby was just a little too far.

S;G 0 is shit and ruined the series.

>>283169591
you know what I mean
they probably started watching anime in their late teens because it was trendy

>>283168729 (OP)
Steins;Gate was never good, it's laughable that some desperate fags will post collages of people holding Dr. Peppers to try and prove that the series is loved here when I was here in 2011 and never cared for it even back then.

>>283170034
Of course the ultimate hypocrisy is that the tourists from /vpol/ who spam about reddit this or someone needing to go back are themselves the exact people who came to 4chan from outside social media and still post there more than they ever do here. That’s why they repost images from reddit, screencap twitter posts, and know all about the latest mainstream drama.

>>283168729 (OP)
>forced time travel plot
>shallow characters
>completely reliant on referencing internet culture to be interesting
To call Steins;Gate a flawed anime doesn't even begin to cover it. I don't know why its fans defend it so doggedly when the show never did anything to deserve it.

>>283170310
>forced shitposting

>>283168729 (OP)
The characters are barely even human, just visual novel archetypes with one personality trait each.

>>283168729 (OP)
It's like someone taped an episode of the Big Bang Theory over Donnie Darko.

>>283170435
S;G is not the worst thing but I agree and I think the characters lean too much into cliches and don't have the level of nuance one would wish they did have. I think Okabe is decent but that's about it.

>>283169368
You already posted the best one though

>>283169043
You're just a newfag pretending to be an oldfag, nothing more.

>>283168729 (OP)
Steins;Gate is shit.

>>283168810
More specifically, the shonentards from xitter. These people weren't even around when the show aired to begin with.

>>283169043
So I've probably been here even longer than you. Steins;Gate to this day is one of best series made.

>>283170310
>completely reliant on referencing internet culture to be interesting
This is why people call you a tourist, fag. It's not internet culture, its otaku culture. Stop trying to normalfag our subculture. S;G comes from jap 2chan culture, aka our sister website. Kurisu is an @channeler, aka 2channer. You don't actually know any of the references because you aren't an otaku.

>>283168810
I've been talking shit about it since 2012, still waiting for someone to prove me wrong.

>>283171985
They call everything reddit because their only exposure to original subcultures is through derivatives like reddit. That’s also why none of them fit in here.

>>283168729 (OP)
>chaos; head for normalfags

This boards obsession with projecting tourism is very low IQ.

>>283168729 (OP)
The show doesn't trigger me, but I didn't like a single character in it so in my eyes it will never be a good anime.

>>283169179
Mate, I first saw this in the mid-2010's and I thought it was good.

>>283170034
You ever wonder if the Redditors here are calling everything "reddit" because they're insecure and want to seem like they're not? Basically what >>283172504 is saying. Though honestly, at this point Reddit is pretty dead too, feel like most of the millennials think it's still a thriving website when it's been on the decline for the last couple years. Tiktok is where all the braindead imbeciles are at now.

>>283169722
I started watching anime because a weird friend of mine recommended me some stuff back in 2016 (yes, this was like the second non-Miyazaki anime I liked) and I thought it was great. Anime was still considered weird in the area I was in back then. I've heard there still are anti-anime holdouts where people get bullied for watching anime, but they're dying out rapidly.
>t. zoomer

>>283172145
The only S;G hater here I can respect. Now I'm newfag as fuck but assuming anon isn't lying, that's a genuine opinion and not following a trend like some Xitter Twitard.

I'm tired of newfags pretending they can psyop everyone here. I'm tired of /a/.

I'm tired.

>>283173089 (Me)
Second non-Miyazaki anime I saw, not liked. Typo. I'm glad I got to leapfrog the battle shonen shit that a lot of anime fans my age apparently grew up with. But yeah, I mostly grew up watching western shows, though I'd always been strangely drawn to the posters of Miyazaki films. Something about the artstyle just drew me in.

>>283169179
I was not here then but I'm old enough that I could have been and I love S;G despite zero nostalgia. I think the problem is just that zoomers are defective.

Caring about "fitting in" on an anonymous website is wild lmfao. nu/a/ so ass.

So tiresome.

>>283172942
Is the only way to defend this garbo.

>>283168729 (OP)
More like it triggers the rabid and frothing Steins;Gate fans. Even the anime elitists of old weren't as bad.

>>283173158
/a/ always loved s;g no matter what you or anyone else says.

Being old is not the status symbol you think it is. That applies to everyone here.

>>283174662
It would lose meaning entirely if the tourists stopped trying to pretend to be oldfags to fit in

>>283168729 (OP)
You don't have to be a tourist to think S;G is overrated, which it is.

>>283173252
You will never fit in here.

>>283169179
I thought it sounded boring initially and avoided it until last year, yet I find it great now

>>283176279
That's the complete opposite of my experience where I thought it seemed really interesting until watching it and then it ended up being boring for me. I think expectations play a larger part of it.

What does this even mean? Steins;Gate is loved by normalfags

>>283168729 (OP)
This is on every top ten list. What are you talking about?

>>283168729 (OP)
This show is pretty much baby's first mature anime, you aren't smart or elite for liking this shit.

>>283180864
Anyone liking this is admitting to have started watching anime with it, not only that but most likely even the first sci fi related thing the person saw.

>>283179636
And normalfags have better taste then the contrarians that roam most of this board.

>>283168729 (OP)
Does it count as being triggered if I just don't think it's very good?

>>283181206
That depends. What do you think is wrong with it?

>>283181298
I got a minor spoiler going in that something big happens or the story gets very good about halfway through, but I kept waiting and no impressive moment ever came.

Looking back I realize they were talking about Mayuri getting shot, which I thought was basically a nothing moment especially because it's a time travel story that they will immediately try to reverse.

>>283181383
>I got distracted by random expectations and couldn’t pay enough attention to care
lol

>>283181383
That's it? It didn't meet your expectations?
Well, what I'm gonna say is that the story is good from the get-to, since everything that happens at any point in time is in one way or another relevant to the rest of the story. "It gets really good halfway in" is the notion held by the retards in the community.
Is there anything you have to say that is a bit more constructive than "it's fiction so nothing really matters"?
I imagine that you simply didn't find any of the characters appealing so you weren't enjoying your time with it. That's probably the most common and valid reason to dislike s;g.

>>283169043
I beat you came here in 2014 you newfag.

>>283168729 (OP)
It's boring.

Read the VN.

>>283181540
Not my fault the story ended up being a letdown.
>>283181568
I didn't care about Mayuri much but even if I did I don't think I would find that plot point impressive. It's pretty weak for a "shit getting real" moment.

Maho and Mayuri's friends are very underrated
I aspire to be like her someday

>>283181813
It is your fault, you’re a retard who can’t genuinely engage with media. You have no true thoughts or feelings and persist only as an irony poisoned zombie.

>>283181846

I think that title belongs more to the kind of people that enjoy the humor and dialogue in this anime.

>>283181383
>>283181813
>I can't emotionally engage with drama but I'll blame what I'm watching for it
/a/ is full of retards like you these days it's just sad.

>>283181813
>I don't think I would find that plot point impressive. It's pretty weak for a "shit getting real" moment.
It's perfectly fine as a "shit got real moment" simply by the virtue of it being the crescendo of how severe could the concequenses of the mc altering the timeline be. There's nothing particularly special about it - as it weren't meant to be. You being misinformed by the normie crowd who can't articulate what is good about s;g is not the story's problem. I don't understand why you keep bringing that up

>>283181838
>Mayuri's friends are very underrated
I can get behind this

>>283181383
>>283182010
Different anon here. For me that feeling started building up the moment Okabe noticed that the nature of Akihabara had changed completely. Mayuri's death was just riding the wave of 'have our little text messages gone to far' that began earlier.

That's basically what I'm trying to explain to him, yes.
If we're talking the anime adaptation, I think that the ending sequence of episode 9 is directed the best in terms of delivering the gravity of the situation(s) Okabe finds himself in due to being a little bit too curious and should impress the viewer more than the following raid sequence

Heckin' mad SCIENTIST!

>>283184299
Turns out, a style of storytelling that uses player agencies and branching story patern doesn't leand itself well to being adapted into a linear medium like anime, who would've thought?

>>283170034
shitposters try to shove it to r*ddit since it still got content
>>283170310
I like Suzuha's toned ass

>>283181383
the holy shit moment was actually Akiba basically going back to 1980 due to a single mail, which revealed there is a LOT more to Feyris than one would've assumed. Mayuri getting shot was the trigger for Okabe to try to go back so it gets more spotlight, of course it also speaks to r*dditors because they think it's a le epic reference to muh Schrödinger's observer theory and quantumslop - which it really isn't.

>>283186737
steins;gate is probably the most well put anime adaptation of a vn out there and anything that is wrong with it has nothing to do with what you mentioned to be the properties of a medium it came from.
the truth is you have to actually be retarded to require having read the vn to "realize" whether steins;gate is good or not.

>>283182622

>>283186872
Just about every single VN adaption is Inferiorir to the source material, S;G included.

>>283186962
yeah no shit? I didn't say anything that would imply otherwise.

>>283187026
Then you should understand your complaint is redundant

>>283187122
there's probably not a single person out there that hated the anime of steins;gate, went to read the vn and fell in love with it.
using the "uhh just read the vn" card in the context of steins;gate is dishonest.
it is inferior, but the anime adaptation didn't "ruin" the story as it usually goes with vn adaptations

>>283187166
And claiming the anime adaption of s;g 0 ruining the series is honest?

>>283187199
the plan they had was to have the anime of zero to be "the final true route" to the vn of zero, there's no argument to have over which is supposed to be better, since you are supposed to experience them both. so I don't know what exactly it is that you are concerned with.
zero is a rushed piece of crap amalgamation of prior side material and remains as is regardless of a medium.
having watched only the anime of zero and claiming anything about its bearing on "the series" is not honest, I guess. it's simply wrong to look at it in isolation in the first place

>>283187287
You type like a gayboy

>>283187318
that's fair. my argument is void

>>283186881
How is it out of nowhere? Both series are linked with each other, and you're supposed to play Chaos Head before S;G.
It's like getting angry over people liking Code Geass R1 in a shitty bait-y thread about Roze.

>>283168729 (OP)
Steins;Gate sucks.

>>283190552
Frieren is overrated dogshit but Steins;Gate is actually somewhat good.

>>283184299
I don't know about anything else but it is absolutely true for 0. You need the context of all the different routes for everything to work and be compelling.

>>283184299
That is a weak point. Since 9 times out of 10 when ever people bring up this show or any other VN adaptation they are only talking about the anime, not the vn
>This issue was fixed in the vn

The thread isnt about the vn, so that is a cop out answer.

S;G isn't even the best entry in its own series. I have no idea why the fans are so rabid.
