| I've recently watched like 3 episodes of steins;gate and i don't understand a thing about story or if there is about to be a plot. I heard it's a great anime and people always score it a 10, but i feel like i'ts to complicated to understands. I usually really love a psychological anime or series. So does it get better and more easier to understand or should I just not watch it anymore? Thankyoouuu! |
| there are some animes which have an incredible slow start ^^ steins gate is 1 of them... and you wont understand everything till ep 3... well the plot starts around the half, till then its pretty lighthearted ^^ but if you like psychological you should try to continue :P The only thing you know at ep 3 is, that she lives :D despite him seeing her dead :P |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| I've heard a lot of people complaining about Steins;Gate, that the first few episode got you lost like hell, but, if I remember correctly, it got 9.18/10 on MAL, and totaly deserve it. You should keep going, I can't tell you to drop it out, 'cause, for me, it's a master piece. But not everyone would enjoy it ! I'll say, give it a try, and if it really doesn't please you, drop it :) |
| Yeahh, it's really slow and doesn't have much for plot in the beginning. But it does get more interesting and more ridiculous; it'd probably be a 10 if you can get over how "dumb" a lot of things in it are. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Well i watched Steins Gate about a year ago and all i remembered is that didn't like it, the plot was way to slow and the characters annoyed me to no end ( except Kyouma ). its you're choice and i say watch until ep 13/14 if it still bores you drop it, in my opinion its very overrated though |
| It's really not something complicated and it's definitely not something you should give up on. The first half is full of SoL-like eps, some comedy and shit (and since I'm all for comedy and SoL... I may even have to say I liked it more than the second half since it entertained me more consistently), but it also sets up everything for the second half nicely. You should keep at it and trust me, those few episodes in the middle and the last ones are worth it. It's just entertaining shit. |

| get past ep 13 |
| Steins;Gate isn't that great but still is fairly good and can be entertaining as hell. I don't think this show starts extremely slowly though (which isn't necessarily a bad thing btw), sure it isn't Death Note or Shingeki no Kyojin, but you should definitely try to watch few more eps. Oh, and S;G isn't really complex overall, this anime simply (and hopefully) doesn't give you all the key at the beginning. And without this beginning, the second half wouldn't have much sense. P.S: It's not like "it gets better", first episodes aren't bad at all. |

| It's an extremely soft sci-fi show, there's not much to understand, and it doesn't deserve the hype. It was okay. Watch it if you're into harem and traps. |
 |
| I think Steins;Gate is that type of show You need to complet it to be able to apreciate it at its fullest. |
 |
| Well alot of people say it gets better after about half of the episodes. I personally think it stays just as bad. It's pointless and virtually nothing interesting happens in the first half. It gets more fastpaced in the second half, but it's still pointless. So I'd say drop it while you can, but I know I'm in the minority on that one. |
| It's overrated IMO because of the hype that goes on in the last half and the lack of criticism in the first half. Anyways, I think you should complete what you started. |

mayukachan said: get past ep 13 perhaps,the most logical reply in the thread. |
 |
| If you're impatient and can't get to watch a somewhat dull set of episodes(like one cour), then drop it. But the the first half doesn't speak for the quality of the series itself. |

| Why do people keep expecting mysteries to make sense after 10% of the story? Like really In any case, it's common knowledge that the beginning of Steins;Gate on its own is not that great because you don't understand it yet. The only thing you can do is keep watching. Everything will make sense in time |
  |
| Ep. 1-6 is like watching paint dry. Ep. 7+ they actually start doing something instead of talking about it. From then on it gets progressively more exciting and psychological which I suppose is what everybody remembers. Definitely worth the watch but no way it should've gotten #2 rank -- I mean ep. 1-6 I'd rate as 4's and 5's and the really good stuff doesn't hit until 2/3rds in or so. |

| If you can't watch Steins ; Gate that really limits the shows you're capable of watching. I'm astonished you finished Fate Zero. |

| I feel you! I tried to watch it a couple of times but to no avail. I dropped it, then picked it up again...the cycle goes on (stubborn as hell). The story is too slow for me... |

| Droop it then, It's no big deal, Steins Gate is almost definitely one of those anime that the wannabes(you know, the wannabe different crowd/so called think out of the box flockers. They absolutely pine over the Psychological genre, claiming every single one is the greatest anime ever made) crowd flock to, seriously, they almost as bad as the mainstream crowd, and they are a lot more damaging to the anime community. If It's being weird, without giving you any info to keep you interested, and just throwing random crap at the viewer, for no "apparent" reasons for a extended amount of time, to where you're getting tired of waiting, then by all means drop it or put it on hold(forever). There's too many awesome anime out there, to be forcing yourself to watch something you're not enjoying. |

Some of us that have watched Steins;Gate did so not because its "Mainstream" but because we enjoyed the original source material, you know, the VN. Its actually pretty interesting. Although people who aren't used to slower shows tend to complain until the half-way point of the series, but the buildup is pretty obvious in the episodes preceding it. And for the most part i agree, if you're really disliking the show, then the best thing to do is to drop it, usually. There are some cases, where you'll miss out on something great because you left a first impression get to you. @OP: I'd keep going unless you really hate the show at this point. If you don't like it by episode 13, drop the show. |
| When i tried episode 1 i didn't like it either, I dropped it then finally after a few weeks i decided to give it a try, and that was the best decision of my life. Hidden Gem, If u have enough patience. |

If you don't like it by episode 13, drop the show. Rather It's actually good or not, I don't know true, but It's obvious as all hell, It's not among the best anime(It's 24 episodes, even if It's perfect for what it can do, a series that short has extreme limitations). As for it being a slow anime, if it takes half of the series, just to get going, considering how short the series is, that's a pretty big issue in general. I personally love slower series, if you look at my list, I'm sure you'll notice there are a lot of damas, especially slow ones at that(things like Moribito, Legend of Qin, Kemono no souja erin, ect), they take atleast a few episodes to get going(Kemono no souja takes a whopping 7 episodes to get going, but It's still very enjoyable). If a 24 episode anime, takes like 12 episodes to get started, the quality of the series really needs to be brought into question. I may end up watching it now, just so I can review the damn thing(and frankly, It's amazing anyone has ever watched this series, considering it has the most uninteresting premise ever created). I just hope It's atleast better then the written premise for this series(poorly written premises for anime is nothing new, so odds are It's not as bad as the premise makes it sound like, yikes). Don't go bringing up the crappy Mal rating system or you're going to make me start posting the atrociouc crap, that are among the worst anime ever made, yet are being highly rated. |

| its a time travel anime you dont have to understand anything because time travel |
JCAPER said: it's so cool, sunvabitch! I actually managed to forget that joke. most cringey moment I've seen in an anime in a long time. |
|
| To JCAPER: Have you seen the written premise for this series lol, trust me, outside of people who read/played the VN, there is absolutely nothing, to make people go hm, that seems interesting, perhaps I'll try that out, so you could hardly blame me. Well I watch a lot of sol type stuff, so that wouldn't bother me, and I'm pretty well versed in temporal theory, and such, so I shouldn't have a issue with that. Doctor Who has got to be the most overrated, "long winded" show ever created, it would've been decent enough I suppose, if they didn't change the damn doctor every couple of seasons or so. I never half fast/pretend to watch a anime, when I'm watching it, especially on my 1st half a dozen watches of a anime, so no need to worry there. |
| . |
| lol the salt is strong. Sorry for not being very enthusiast when you quote the worst racist joke ever as if it was the best thing in Steins;Gate. OP, if you want a good time travel+romance, watch the girl who leapt through time |
|
| it's the best show since i came back to watched anime again. i got recommendation from friend i absolutely love it. it pretty rare show that i addict to it and end up follow original source and beyond well except harem game spin off. so i recommend to watched it without any expectation to be any good and heck i don't know this mal until about last year |

| This anime is one hell of a ride. I watched it without knowing it was time travel, but it caught on quickly. First 2 episodes were confusing though. My roller coaster for Steins:Gate Confused>Interested>Thrilled>Saddened>Depressed/happy |
| if you find it too complicated don't watch it's only a decent anime there is far ebter and don't belive when people say it deservs a a 10 o mal no anime is a proper 10 though i will say its a damn good sci-fi time traval but has shity chacters |
 |
| Its worth it to keep watching. |
