Grant, it's Michael. Add me brah, 'cause yolo.

Try Seto no Hanayome next. I just watched that and its most certainly the funniest and best harem anime out there. :3

*huge block of text coming up*

I was referring to when Mayuri first gets shot by FB. The first thing that irritated me is when she gets killed by a girl pushing her into the train. The anime explains that she is destined to die at that time, sort of like in Death Note; everybody's life span is already determined. As a result, no matter what Rintaro does, she will die. This would be fine, except for that the reason Mayuri must die isn't because her time limit is up, but because they sent all those texts into the past. How the texts have anything to do with Mayuri's life span is unknown to me.
Regardless, now they have to delve into the lives of nyan nyan girl, trap girl, and John Titor girl in order to 'reset' the divergence meter. If you think about it, sending a cancellation D-mail would not return the timeline to normal. In the new timeline, the person looked at his/her phone and read two texts. That action alone has dire consequences on the future of that world, ala the butterfly effect. Also, I really just can't get over this reasoning man; what would resetting the divergence to normal change about Mayuri's fated death? Sure, it would stop FB girl from killing her, but it wouldn't stop her from getting pushed into trains or other bullshit ways of dying.

I especially disliked the events where the girls all of a sudden recall events from alternate timelines for no real reason at all. You know what I call that? I call that lazy scriptwriting. It was more acceptable in Higurashi for them to recall memories from other worlds because that anime was more spiritual. There was a lot more events that were explained spiritually, and there's even a god in that anime. Steins;Gate has no such luxuries; the anime is a scientific logical one, so everything in it should make sense critically. There is absolutely no reason why the girls should recall their memories, and it makes all the cancel D-mail events even less enjoyable for me. I especially disliked Kurisu recalling the event of herself getting stabbed from her dreams, and thereby giving Rintaro consent to save Mayuri instead of her. It's just poor scriptwriting; they didn't want Rintaro to abandon Kurisu without her consent first, which is stupid.

The worst part of part 2, however, is episode 23 when Suzuha comes back from the future to tell Rintaro that he now needs to save Kurisu from her death. First of all, now she can travel forward in time. This fact made me rather upset, since in an earlier arc, they had a lot of trouble because no time machine invented was capable of traveling forward in time. But no worries, as somehow, by letting Kurisu die in this timeline they gain that ability.
Secondly, why would Rintaro agree to this task? Didn't he go through so much misery for the sake of reversing his actions and letting Kurisu die so that Mayuri can live? If he cancels his cancellation, won't Mayuri die again? And Rintaro tricking himself into thinking Kurisu died wouldn't matter because the divergence meter would still change. Kurisu is alive now in that world. Thus, high divergence, thus, death of Mayuri again.

Finally, why does Suzuha need Rintaro's help to save Kurisu from death? She knows exactly when and where it happened, it's not like Rintaro has some superhuman abilities that allow him to be more efficient at it.

The writer simply wanted a bullshit happy ending, so he wanted to save everybody in the end, even after developing the plot such that it requires the death of one of the two girls.

If you think about it, all the second half manages to achieve is undoing everything that happens in the first half. It feeds the viewers no new 'valuable' information regarding time travel, and instead devolves into a goose chase. This would have been fine if certain events made sense to me, those being the ones I already rambled about.

Overall I thought Steins Gate was like an 8/10. The second half was really bad at times, particularly the arcs featuring the nyan girl and the trap. Steins Gate doesn't have very good characters, and when it tries to develop each and every single one, it is less than successful, at least to me.
Though I really liked the first half, thus why it still gets a pretty good score from me.

I have not seen Yu Yu Hakusho. It's like 100 eps man, and it's one of the classics. I can't say my history with the classics has been too good (Ranma 1/2).

We'll see how you like the 2nd half of Stein's Gate. I didn't care for a certain character at all, so when an event happens to that girl, it really didn't matter to me. Sadly, it radically changes the mood and flow of the entire series.

Nevermind it makes total sense. I just need to do that math: Naruto (300) + rewatches of OP (~500) + Bleach (167) + Sgt. Frog (200) + Magical DoReMi (71) + Ranma 1/2 (50) + Digimon (51) + Hikaru no Go (75) + Prince of Tennis (200) + Tokyo Mew Mew (51) = 1614 episodes of anime.

You should try Ano Hana in the mean time. I feel it's worthy to be on my top five favorites. :)

Also, how is it possible that you only have 28 days worth of anime viewed? You've totally watched almost everything good I've watched. I guess Naruto, Bleach, and Sgt. Frog are racking up my hours. :O

Are they in order now?
Man I'm so excited! This weekend I'm going through a super Shakugan no Shana marathon in hype of the final episode! All 3 seasons and the OVAs baby!
Also, you should start watching Mirai Nikki. It's on episode 22/24 so it's on the home stretch. :)

Wtf? You put One Piece as your number one?
