Steins;Gate

[Lachrymose]

I thought it had an interesting premise but I'm going to wait for a higher quality release cause right now the quality makes it unwatchable.

This type of anime is not my cup of tea so ill read the reviews and see if i should pick the anime up after it finishes.

Ep 1.

Wow, this anime is quite strange... I'll watch it and see were it goes. The main character is confused as heck and totally insane. The girl is a complete airhead and the geek... is lazy. Oh well, I'll see were it goes... it holds premise even with such an empty first episode with confusing occurrences.

I think the main idea of being able to send a mail to the past is really cool.
I have never played the original game of Steins;Gate but by reading the anime review by other people
It will be popular among a gamer who have played the game
if the anime vr can recreate the fun of the original piece it will sure be a masterpiece

When i watched the anime i really didn't get what was going on=.=
Its a bit hard to grasp the time difference between the past and current...
(After watching it the second time it made more sense )

I have to say like how the other members have said i thought it was bit similar to C;H
When i saw the main character of Steins;Gate it made me remember of Nishijou Takumi
and when his child hood friend mayuri appeared in a mystical atmosphere i thought she was a delusion inside Okabe's head (its what i thought, everyone will probably have a different sort of idea)

I have been wanting to play the visual novel of steins;gate for a while and now an anime adaptation is out!

I think the idea of being able to send text messages into the past is pretty interesting. The eccentric main character is kind of hard to get used to, but I can't wait to see what happens next.

This got Crunchyroll'd, so I guess HorribleSubs will have quicker releases out each week. Meh, not my favourite way to watch anime, but I look forward to comparing the subtitles. UTW-Mazui got a few things just plain wrong.

I enjoyed this episode, considering I know nothing coming into it. Main character is really weird, but I enjoyed the OP very much.

I liked Chaos;Head up until they actually started to explain stuff. For a while it was actually interesting to watch because regardless of cliche character types, you really didn't know if what was fake and what was really, if the dude was just nuts or if there was some actual conspiracy going around.

And then they had to ruin the entire goddamn thing by explaining everything. I really hope this doesn't fall into the same category at the end. The first episode was a little strange, sure, but I'm willing to give it a chance since I've watched too many shows with questionable first episodes that turn out great at the end.

The plot is very interesting. Bit of a mind warp which I like and the time travel aspect is real cool. I'm definitely keen to know where this is headed and the mystery involved.

But as noted above the characters could be annoying otaku bait. So for me as long the plot/mystery remains intriguing and the characters not irritating I'll be able to stick with it.

Since it's set in Akihabara I think it's forgiveable that the characters appear influenced by otaku culture. Influence being the key word here, so far none of them warrant the otaku tag on site. In my opinion, this influence hasn't been written into the anime in the cliche way it could've been. Time will tell I guess.
