Now this was too awesome! Even the score somehow telleported 'with different properties' to a 10 and I don't give a 10 to any show just because of that!
The episode was greatly put together, from the start with Makise being...'real'...to the freaking banana experiment. For some unknown reason, I even like 'Houoin's comedy style xD
So, let's recap: time travel + secret agencies + banana telleporter = awesomeness...

for some reason, I feel that this anime is ... annoying!!
I don't really like anime that confuses you and make you think too much, when I watched this episode I was lost ... I will watch the 3rd episode and if I'm still lost I'll definitely drop this one >.> (I don't drop anything easily though)

idk guys, when I read your comments I feel like I'm slow :P
it looks like I'm the only one who hasn't understand a thing -.-

PREVIEW
for episode 3 is out ^^

this anime is getting more and more interesting
if it keeps up like this, its going to be freaking awesome
and btw, it is possible to travel in time, but only to the future and not to the past

okabe's mad scientist play is starting to amuse me very much
coming to like his character lol

THat is sort of disputed too.

If one uses one timeline, one universe theory, then what defines future? Isn't future also past of something? Wouldn't the traveller be unable to return to his time? Wouldn't arriving in future, change that future's future, of which the future is its past?

The only coherent time travel theory is either the one where universal order is made in such way that any try to change what happens will fail (does not fit with the show) or that it is actually infinity of different possible timelines and traveling to past just shifts into one of them, making both exist the same, allowing the avoidance of causality paradoxes..

I'm really loving this anime so far even only 2 episodes in. I'm even starting to wonder if there might be something to the whole "talking to himself on the phone" thing.

It seems time changed for Okarin far beyond than one day, nice ;)

Mayuri nyan nyan ; u ;

Well, this just got really interesting.

Funky bananas, a convincing trap and more of "I remember this! Why don't you?".

I love when Fai is here, because it means that I don't have to answer to anything annoying personally, he'll also do it correctly.


Otherwise, one or two things still confuse me about how their time travel work.
90% are okay, and if i change my vision of the Many World Interpretation or of what the show wants to do, everything is.
But some things are really odd, i'm not satisfied.
Mainly the "sending something into another past=gel", "travelling to another present=perfectly okay" part. Fuh.
I need to watch ep1 again, the answer should be there.

Anyway, a funny thing from the opening. That's why I believed in the MWI back in ep1;

Hello, spoiler opening~
No, it's not like this because it's more beautiful this way.


And by the way, we probably have" two" "John Titor". I need two, at least, in order to fit with everything so far and in order to have a correct scenario.

On a side note, am I the only one who find Mayushii's "Tuturuuuu" REALLY cute?
Well, I'm into verbal tics anyway, so it's hardly surprising. But still. It reminds me of old JRPGs.

I'm not sure whether watching the first 2 episodes with my half eye closing is doing any justice to the series. The show is as real as the word confusing. The cliffhanger is not having enough suspense.

I had a strong feeling the next one will probably trigger the 'likeness' and bump the score up by at least 2 points.

You should not feel slow, I always liked shows about time travel and science in general, and thats probably the case with most people in this forum.So if its your first time watching an anime like this, dont feel bad for not comprehending everything in the first shot...we dont also at this point.

STEINS;GATE is getting crazier than ever..i mean..the mysteries just piled up..whoa..the gel-banana, the time traveler Titus, the email sent to the past, the red girl who is still alive and the cancelled conference..(ep. 2)

True. What we think as the future may be the past to another perspective, but lets presume a time machine was made now. In theory, you would only be able to travel to the future where a similar/exact machine is made...so basically you would enter at least one of the dimensions where the similar machine is made. There a lot of alternative futures but at least one with the machine. That future would be the past to another perspective but still would be the future relative to the time machine, and from the users perspective, it is still the future. I, myself, believe that there is only one timeline, and that whatever we try to do, cannot change the direction that reality is heading towards.

I have no idea what's going on in this show but im loving it.

Was the microwave scene a separate timeline from the rest of the episode? The flow of the episode came to a complete swerve especially with the brief scene between the meido cafe and the microwave scenes.

Since the microwave is supposedly assumed to be a time machine now, what about the gel-bananas from the first episode? They simply stayed in the microwave with nary a movement if I so briefly recall. Would the microwave be a time machine in all the timelines? Or would it simply be another simple microwave in a few of them?

So far, so good. Seems way better than the clusterfuck that was the Chaos;Head anime.

Oh wow the miko is really a guy. Okabe is a lil crazy which was why I thought he was joking at first. D:

GOD DAMN TRAPS
