| Mayuri is going full on Re:Zero Subaru, not matter the timeline shes always dying ;-; why does it always have to be the most wholesome character that suffers the most |
 |
| THE EMOTIONS ARE REAL, I shed plenty of tears this episode, I really feel bad for Okabe so much, he is going to suffer through trauma and PTSD, but he isn't going to give up. He wants to save precious Mayuri and prevent her from dying at all by time leaping to another world line. Can't wait to see Moeka get put down, what a bitch she is for running over Mayuri with a car. The beginning with Suzuha was satisfying, she knocked out all of those men and bought time for Okabe and Kurisu to activate the time leap. 5/5 episode. |
| My favorite chapter so far, I love how in this chapter we see Okarin outside of his role as a mad scientist and he is more human than any character in this series is |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Mayuri just practically turned into Kenny from South Park. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| is this the fate that mayuri can't escape? or is what her watch trying to tell that her death is inevitable. this is painful to watch, seeing okabe suffer and mayuri's death again and again. |
 |
| Why doesn't he try going further back in time? |
| @xZabuzax The show is getting way better now that the plot has finally kicked in. But the MC still infuriates me. The plot seems very interesting but the characters are just lame. It's like a bad attempt at Clannad & After Story. Why doesn't Okabe tell his squad that sern is going to attack them later that night. He just bluntly says the party is canceled. Like they will believe him that he is from the future, since they know about the time machine. It's not like he doesn't have time either, he has a couple hours right? They could probably come up with a decent plan rather than Okabe just keep dying and respawning. It's not like he is Subaru from ReZero and can't talk about Return By Death. Like this is kind of OP, the obstacle in most time travel plots is you can't tell anyone you're from the future. Blood literally can tell all his friends and chooses not to. It seems like Miyuri is fated to die. Also him not telling the gang about the ominous texts pisses me off. Like bro the whole point of having a team is to help each other. Communication is key. |

| @TheSunLife Why do you expect him to find the best solution immediately in a situation like this. Plus he doesn't want to involve anyone further in the sh*t he is responsible for. |

I mean telling your friends isn’t that hard. He reminds me of the MC of Inception who I also disliked lol. Also I don’t get how he feels like he is the only one responsible, he literally enrolls his friends as members. They have just as much steak as him. Even if he is the Mesiah. I know all will be explained in time but still come on… |

| @xZabuzax You mentioned Steins Gate being your favorite anime. Do you mind if I DM you my thoughts on episodes, thats basically what we were doing now anyway lol. Totally up to you. It's just for shits and giggles and I thought it would be fun to document my journey of such a highly rated show. You being a huge fan of the anime and me having my "unpopular" takes could be interesting. And hey maybe I could end up a Steins Gate stan too!!! |

xZabuzax said: @TheSunLife Hey mate, I have my private messages disabled, I rather have conversations like this in the open like we are doing right now so I don't mind if you message me on the episode threads to give your opinion about the episode and I as well will give my opinion about it =) It’s chill, totally understandable I just didn’t know if it was weirding you out lol. Like this random dude keeps tagging me in this thread. And yeah it’s not a new show so we shouldn’t be bothering too many people with our conversations. Just a question. Was Steins Gate one of the first 25 or so anime you saw? Also I’m watching the dub so J Micheal Tatum is voicing Okabe and it’s great. |

| @xZabuzax Ok good cause I wanted to make sure you weren't looking at it with rose tinted glasses. I know a lot of people who first start to get into anime and there in that phase where everything is amazing because you just got into the medium (been there too lol). And they watch all the critically acclaimed shows and are unintentionally influenced by others positive opinions. So it's good to know you genuinely love the show :) Yeah I guess were the complete opposite in that regard. My go to is watching anime in dub. I will watch the sub if the dub isn't available. I started my weeb journey that way and I guess I never grew out of it. |

| Okabe forcing himself to sound calm just to ensure Kurisu and Daru left the lab right after entering the second time leap earned him my respect. Can't imagine myself not being in perpetual panic mode in his state of mind. Hoping that was just incredibly unlucky and Mayuri's death isn't as inevitable as it seems |
| THAT is the first 5 stars episode, i wouldn't say that it's beloved one, but the most impressive YET. Holy SHIT, it HAPPENED 3 TIMES, alr about the 1st and 2nd BUT HOW DID IT HAPPEN ON THE 3RD? I guess it's her destiny and he can't avoid it, maybe he can somehow but idk, EVEN THE fact that her stopwatch freezed which meant "her time is over" (thx for bro who replied that for me) AND big W for KM, i even say KM++, BECAUSE FINALLY SOMEONE FIGURED OUT that he isn't crazy and shit has happened and she noticed that even TWICE(first on the phone call, 2nd as a message), SO BIG WWWWW. Poor Luka/Ruca/Huyuka bro got jealous jaja and fakin hell, why do these people want to seize them(i guess to use them for their own benefit tho but still this is my suggestion ONLY), and they called themselves as CERN, like whaaat. Which world did he exaclty come into? The world before changes, to the world where they think they didn't bring IBN 5100, to the world where the city was shifted whole around idk, DOES something change when he uses "TIME JUMP" etc. A lotsa questionssss W for opening, it looks awesome right now, to be honest that is what i love in intros, when the perception gradually changes during the TV show First gold coin i would say for this animeeeeeee |
| Fantastic episode as always, though the train death feels a bit forced, I guess it represents that Okabe cannot predict every variable. |

Our mad scientist went on a pointless goose chase the entire episode in which nothing happened that would progress the story.
| @DontCallHacks That's the dumbest thing I've heard about this episode |

@SciADV_Maniac Okabe knows that Mayuri will show up at the lab in a few hours, yet he still decides to run around town looking for her, even though he’s aware he’s being watched by the Rounders because of the text message Introverted Hottie sent him. Despite this, he irrationally believes he can escape by heading to the train station, somehow forgetting about the halt on train services due to terrorist threats—even though he had multiple hours to think through his escape plan. After his attempt to save Mayuri fails miserably, he decides to try again, still oblivious to the fact that leaving his time machine behind to fall into the hands of the enemy effectively dooms both humanity and Mayuri. This alone makes running away inconceivable. The most damning evidence of this episode’s pointlessness is that Okabe witnesses Part Time Warrior win a 1v5, make unwavering accusations about his Assistant’s involvement with SERN, and hinting about knowing something regarding his situation multiple times throughout the series—yet he still doesn’t think, “Maybe I should talk to her and see if she knows anything before, I go running around town willy-nilly.”
| @Pepetears Wow, a character (who is literally an immature kid) being imperfect and not acting rational but rather desperate in a situation that he never experienced beforehand and that is clearly out of his control :O wow, such a nonsense, really... Okabe is acting like any of us would in his place. Something else that can actually be taken seriously? |
