| Hell of an interesting cast! okarin's laugh is damn priceless! Mayuri is moe :3....and surprisingly not that dumb though dumb innocent enough not to understand the perverted joke. Intriguing 1st episode...and been waiting for this show for a while. Damn; the vid that i watched didn't have the OP&ED~ searches web. notzky said: oh try posting this hereWHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? |
 |
| Ok this one is hella interesting. Great cast of characters and the atmosphere portraited is just stunningly awesome. Can't wait for the next episode =D (I'll so re-watch the 1st one after i get my hands on a better quality vid.). |
| Waw, seems pretty interesting, huh? |
 |
| I loved it, The anime reminds me of LOST tv series... |

Give it some 10 episodes and then you might get a thing or two. and this. ^^ so u are one of those fanbois/fangirls who voted 5/5. that explaines alot. way to go moron |

| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| I didn't know much about this show but I certainly enjoyed the first episode. The characters are great and I'm already interested in all the weird stuff that is going on. |
| Mamoru Miyano is fucking awesome in this show. Reminds me of how great he was in Death Note. I get the feeling that it will be one of the most interesting shows in this season. |
| Even though it is definitely taking me hard time understanding the entire thing, it was one of the best 1st episode I could possible imagine for this series. Fast pacing actually helped getting focused for the entire episode, atmosphere was superb. Miyano Mamoru's Chunibyou acting was hilarious as well. I haven't played the original game, but I'm sure this will be my Madoka Magica of this season. I mean seriously. I can feel all those foreshadowing thrown everywhere already. I was utterly blown when I saw Makise alive. |

| Great episode! As people previously stated, I love Okarin's laugh and the interaction between the characters. I can already tell that I'm going to become attached to this show. :D Also Dr. Pepper--"It's the intellectual beverage made for the chosen ones!" |
 |
| For now a 7. Might increase because it seems like something I would like. There is the time-traveling sort of thing which I like. "Your banana is all floppy" lol |
| That was pretty cool. Although I have no idea whats really going on. |
| This Anime is lack of BGM ...... and Dr. Pepper remind me of that NEET detective girl >.>" ...stein gate is coming ^^ |

| ^That's because you watch shitty niconico version(no OP/ED). I thinking TV version will have that i suppose. First episode is so good but the niconico version looks crap. Have to watch second time by the time TV version is up. Just gonna love Okarin speaking to himself & his laugh is awesome. Ah Mayuri your Duturu~ is so moe. I'm can't wait for Feiris to appear! |
| That was an amazing episode. I really can't wait for the rest of it. |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| Now, where were we? Oh yeah, secret agencies theories and time traveling. It really is the secret to success and mad scientists xD This looks interesting, waiting for more :D |
| I have to watch the next episode when it comes out, this episode alone messed me up someplace. |
| well, lots of confusing things in the first episode but I'm really looking forward to see more =) |
| Hmmm...not quite sure what to make of this show. Will probably need to watch a few more episodes to determine whether or not it's a keeper. |
 |
| It's like you can feel the awesomeness coming in the next episodes.. Like Chaos;Head it's confusing in the beginning ,but everything will be solved later. ( and I'm damn sure this will fucking top Chaos;Head ) First I was shocked about makise's sudden death ( main character ? ), but good to see her alive at the end^^ I really like her looks. 4/5 |
 |
| Didn't understand a thing if I'm honest :/ |
  |
| Hmm, I don't really understand anything yet, it was pretty weird, but it was definitely intriguing. Maybe I should go watch Chaos;Head... Would that make it any easier to understand? |
Kipcha said: Hmm, I don't really understand anything yet, it was pretty weird, but it was definitely intriguing. Maybe I should go watch Chaos;Head... Would that make it any easier to understand? The two shows/manga/VNs are in the same universe, but have entirely separate stories. Not having seen one really won't make a difference in watching the other. Personally, I think you should watch C;H anyways. I really enjoyed it, though most people on the site seem to hate it (I honestly don't see why, so maybe someone can explain that). Now, on to S;G... Gotta love the floppy banana line. Funniest part of the episode right there. XP I don't mind Rin so far (his crazy laugh is pretty awesome), but Daru and Mayuri haven't really struck a chord with me yet. Maybe that'll change after a little while, though. It'll be interesting to see how the story plays out, considering I have no idea what's going on or why Rin suddenly has time travelling text messages. 0_o For now, it's a 7. Like the story and animation, but not fantastic with the characters for me. |
 |
| I like the main dude, he's batshit crazy. |
 |
| ALPACAMAN! :D |
 |
| OH MY GOD IT'S LELOUCH! MWHAHAHAHAHA! *okay i checked voiceactors.. it's not him but dang their laugh is similar :O* KIRA !! BUHAHAHA. |

Nasty001 said: Ok, so what exactly does this ep tells us? It tells us to stick around for more then one episode. |
|
| Definitely piqued my interest. Gotta make sure to get a better version next time, one I got had no OP/ED. Guess I better go scour youtube for em. |

Personally, I think you should watch C;H anyways. I really enjoyed it, though most people on the site seem to hate it (I honestly don't see why, so maybe someone can explain that). Allow me. ChaosHead started wonderfully. It had a story full of potential and seems like it could do no wrong. However then it nonchalantly threw aside it's most interesting points(Example: New Gene murders) and instead decided to focus on strange swords and supernatural bullcrap info dumped by various heroines. Each heroine being more pointless that the last. For example, what would change if you remove Kozue for the story completely? Answer? Nothing. Our protagonist became progressively more annoying and ended up a stereotypical shounen hero. Our story lost it's intriguing mystery and adopted stupid superpowers. Basically we hate it because it gave us such hope and only horribly disappointed us. So that's also why I can awry about this stow. I don't care what potential I see in the start. I am not getting my hopes up. |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| Definitely good, just like Chaos. I hope that it will at least be as good, probably better. Chaos was screwed by the number of episodes, this will not. |
| Nice way to put up a confusing episode so that everyone will try to stick with this XDD I actually liked the schizophrenic main character, it's unusual XDD also Hanazawa Kana made me like this series XDD |
| I really liked it so far, i hope they explain mroe in the next episode but it has great potentiel! |

perpetual said: Liked it but I'm so confused. Don't worry, it will probably become worse. But in a good way. 5pb/nitro+ are really good at this. |
| Well, the show seems pretty interesting, so I'll keep watching it. StormViruz said: Liked the maniacal laughter and "Okay. Your banana is all fl- " lol That part was pretty funny, so far Mayuri is my favourite part of the show, but it's only the first episode so far. |
| steins;gate = kurisu + mindfuck kurisu + mindfuck = joy |
     |
| A good start for his 1st episode. I wasn't confused like others were and I can already see Okarin traveling back in time to try and save Makise. |
| <img src="http://enema27.host22.com/sigs/frosti/sig.php" border="0" /> |
| well good job on them being able to Mindfuck me in just the first episode,i'm enjoying the cast i like how crazy the male lead is don't get to many of those these days and Mayuri VA by Hanazawa Kana =win,and to all those wondering if they should watch Chaos; head to understand this better,it's not gonna help that much but i bet you'll find alot of easter eggs while watching this so i'm gonna keep a eye out for em and on top of all of this the art style is just like Black Rock shooter which i loved! |
 |
| Multiple time tracks with memory seepage from one to the other, murdered characters coming back to life, gel bananas, and a microwave/cell phone that texts to the past.......o.k., I can see why the lead is a mad scientist. Have we already had our Madoka moment or are there still bigger mfs to come? |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This episode was confusing, but I was starting to get it at the end. I might need to watch it again in order to understand it. |

akovaski said: I like it, I haven't seen a thought provoking anime in a while (as opposed to an anime which I can watch and not have to hypothesize what's happening). I'm curious if the show can stay interesting. As for all the confusion, I am personally thinking: His text message was sent to the past (I don't have an explanation on why it split up), since his message was sent to the past the present was altered. (I'm probably not right, but whatever) I really think you are right, it seems really logical after all, right? And for the "split up"... time travelling is already rather hard, this divinding a message wouldn't be too surprising. By the way it is a rather realistic way of looking at time travels, I love it. Rather than just changing ONE little thing without problems, here, a LITTLE and unrelated thing change litteraly EVERYTHING. A bit like the butterfly effect, for those who know. (for those who don't, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect ) I don't dislike "classical" time travels. But it is a rather unusual and original way to do it. And yes, a mind-screwing or a thought provoking anime sometimes is really a good thing, I agree with you. Usually, it means that the anime will be hard to understand, but it gives a different feeling from a typical anime. well good job on them being able to Mindfuck me in just the first episode You're nice here. I felt mindfucked after maybe 5 minutes. And I'm used to this kind of works and knew what was going to happen;. I can't even imagine how it was for newcomers. |
| This episode reminded me so much of Texhnolyze. I can feel Hamasaki Hiroshi's direction. I don't worry about people dropping this show for this single episode. It was made to be confusing, and that's were the anime plot will shine. For mindblowing sake! High hopes. And... I really need to watch it with a better quality. |

(I'm probably not right, but whatever) I think your on the right track. At the beginning when Kurisu Makise (hot dead chick) meets Rintarou (the crazy Dr) she says he was trying to say something to her. I'm guessing that's what this episode led us up to. Next episode he'll try and explain that he saw her death during the time travel lecture and then we'll probably have another time jump. As for the messages. I'm guessing they where sent all at the same time from different Rintarou's within the same realm of existence. kind of you being 3 places at once. You can grab hints from the guy talking about his time travel theories. These are all complete guesses though |
