Steins;Gate was good but I was underwhelmed by it just because the German netflix series Dark made me set higher standards for series about time traveling. It's not an anime but I really recommend it cause it has a strong hook right away, I binged the whole thing in 3-4 days without realizing it, which is something I only ever did with breaking bad and hill house.
The true stein’s gate experience is right. Reliving the same 3 days(episodes) over and over and over and over again, until you finally find a way to continue to the next step of the puzzle, and then all of the pieces suddenly fall into place.
@@Arknautikore I mean, that’s not really that far off actually. It’s like Scientific Majora’s mask with a Romance element, but you’re trying to prevent the petrification of that deku scrub you see at the beginning of the game….. and world war 3.
Quite literally took me nearly 3 years to watch it, 3 episodes over and over. Literally for 3 years, then me and my GF watched it all in. . . A day. It's *THE* Steins;Gate experience
Interesting. When I was 11-12 something, I watched it but doesn't really understand what's going on but I still finished it like I do with "all" anime I watch...
Can you explain what you like about it? I'm one of those quitters who stopped after 7 episodes. What's the appeal? I'm interested again now that everyone says it turns into a masterpiece after episode 10
@@hinamiravenroot7162 I played the VN, but it has the same story so I'll answer while trying to be spoiler-free. The main reason I like it is that it uses time travel as a mechanic to tell a very compelling story - unfortunately, I can't elaborate due to spoilers. I can say this - the tone at the beginning is almost comedic with bit of mystery (which can be boring), but it does NOT stay that way. The first ~40% of it is a slog - I got stuck on the equivalent of episode 9 four times (around 8 hrs into the VN). But that 40% is necessary for the next part to work. It needs to set up the mechanics of time travel and to establish the characters for the rest of the story and (most importantly) make you get attached to them. Anyway, when stuff hits the fan it doesn't slow down much. You remember those things that characters said early on and you thought were just filler? They're not, and they will be brought back without warning to move the story along. Sorry that I have to be vague, but I seriously can't recommend it enough, it's my 2nd favorite VN (and I've heard the anime is just as good if not better). Also, I suggest binge-watching it within maybe a week (at most). It's best if the first part is fresh in your memory when you start the second.
@@hinamiravenroot7162it's the biggest (and well written) plot twist in all time(imo not just in anime, including movies and novels), not some "the story can be whatever I want" bs but actual hinted progressions
That reminds me of how I watched Steins;Gate. I watched it through anime club in college (so 3 episodes a week), and I liked it for the first several episodes, and one meeting, I thought to myself, if things don't pick up soon, I'm walking out. And then it was the episode where Mayuri first gets killed and then I was even more hooked.
Yeah that sounds about right. It was actually longer for me as I was bored out of my mind for like the first 10 episodes. When shit finally got going it never stopped as did my binging of it.
Huh I think I stopped around episode 10, maybe I should give it another go, but if a series doesn't get good until like halfway through it better have an incredible pay off so my expectations will probably be pretty high if I do watch it again.
@@nerd_entangled It's one of the series where things happen for a reason. The first half is slow, but it is setting up the building blocks for the second half. The first time I watched the show, I had no idea what is going on, and I was bored in the first half as well, but eventually finished it. The second time rewatching S;G, you notice all the small details, and the first half becomes absolutely fascinating.

@@bendaly7613 Idk how people struggle with bleach. Id say if you struggle to watch or read the big 5, then I'm sorry. Guess the newer anime gen now has too short of an attention span to stay interested in something. I hardly watch anything anymore and opt to read it. Guy should've asked her about Clamp anime, Clannad, Madoka magica (I don't know any girl who hasn't seen this one), Terror in resonance, trying to get a bigger range in types but theres too many options. so bye. Steins Gate is great.
@heistrawberry7578 Bleach is hard because the fights span too long sometimes. Bleach gets better overtime, but after the soul society arc, it gets real slow. I had to rewarch Bleach 3 times to get past the Bount arc
That's something that happens a lot with anime/mangas that are adapted from Light Novel or Visual novels. 'cause these last two loves to make a lot of world building, setting up the context, etc. Which is more or less the usual thing to do when starting up a story, to make sure the reader has a good grasp of the characters and the world they live it, especially in Light Novel where there's (almost) no images to help you visualize it. So when a manga, but more often an anime that tries to adapt the thing, they often tend to forget that the way someone watch and hook to an anime is completely different to someone who reads a novel. It can get even weirder when the studio (by choice or obligation) tries to adopt a friggin 50-100 hours and plus reading material into a 11 to 26 episodes long anime. Not saying it's an general explanation, but it gives though to think about. Stein's Gate is en even more special case as it's often in the top ten of visual novel of all times all genres mixed together, so the hype / expectation around it easily explodes from all directions and "infect" people who don't even know about the Light Novel / Visual novel versions.
How do you forget what happens multiple times in under 6 months. There is movies I watched one time a decade ago and can still give a synopsis of the movie.
i was waiting for the punchline to be something like "cause it was only four episodes." but seeing that it's 24 means he made an on the spot decision on how he was gonna spend the rest of his day
Steins;Gate is so interesting imo because of that first part. Some people say it only gets good a few episodes in, some say it’s only good after the halfway point, meanwhile I got hooked into it since the beginning to the point I’m considering the first half as my favorite one just because I love seeing these characters interact (though both are amazingly written and paced, a true adaptation made with respect of the original work)
I have a low attention span, but I finished the entirety of Steins;gate in just 3 days. It's easily one of the best animes I watched in recent years. I'm also kinda mad at myself for sleeping on Steins;gate for 4 years.
Glad to see this is the usual experience. Every year my ride or die steins gate friend always asks me if I ever watched it. Every year, I see the look in his eyes as I tell him I fell asleep half way through episode 3.
As someone who has only seen up to like, 10+ episodes, then never touched the anime again, I can agree with this. I’ll probably binge it someday. Truly the Steins:Gate experience.
That was honestly my experience with Steins;Gate - I watched the first few episodes, got bored, and dropped it despite knowing it was good. I eventually plucked up the resolve to try it again after watching videos of the English VA and scriptor for the series (J. Michael Tatum) talk about how good it gets. I sat down and watched the entire series in a day. Later, I was also talked with another anime enthusiast who also couldn't bring himself to continue passed the first few episodes. I implored him that, despite my generally shit taste in anime, he should give it another shot and he agreed. Came back a few days later and relented that it was great 😂. Generally I have an incredibly hard time sitting through high scifi concepts like Steins;Gate but it was well worth it.
Literally me. It took my friend saying that it's incredibly good when I gave up twice. If you're on the fence about it and think the main characters are cringy, trust me and keep watching. One of the best anime out there
So it's basically like going on a rollercoaster, the first is three episodes are like you going uphill and then 4th episodes and so on is the "fun" part😂
Pretty much. It's a slow burn. I'd argue that it really picks up after "the turn" (I think it's about episode 10 from memory? When shit starts hitting the fan). The stakes go through the roof at that point, and it's awesome.

This was me with One Piece and Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn.
I feel like this is some sort of time travel joke, which fits.
Bro is expecting a subway surfer gameplay on ep 1-3
To be fair. He did follow the three Episode rule.
I had to watch the first episode 8ish times and then I just read the manga
That's right we all go back like abused housewives when it comes to steinsgate
Yup, typical experience. One of my favorite shows.
I can apply this to Terraria. So many people quit before they fight the first boss.
