| Why Time loop Anime/Manga/Ln are so high rated and popular? |
| I guess it mystifies the whole setup making it so unpredictable.... Steins; Gate did a great job and Re Zero is also very popular |
 |
| So far, it's been proven to be a great narrative tool. It worked well in Madoka Magica, it was astoundingly good in Steins;Gate, and hearsay tells me that Re:Zero does a good job with it, as well. And it offers the basic cathartic notion of being able to go back in time and (try to) undo the mistakes we've made. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| they are loved by scfi fans not a fan of this genre |
 |
| Probably because it's seen quite infrequently in anime/manga etc, and even when it's used most of the time it's used incorrectly so when S;G and Re:Zero use it correctly it's a big boom. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
ME too ! It's bit overrated but even normal people like it Nache said: Because it's a cool plot device that appeals to a lot of people. THIS |
| Because it's honestly a pretty interesting concept with almost limitless potential for storytelling due to its diversity and ability to come up with creative and complex plotlines. Of course writing a time travel story without plot holes can be pretty difficult, but if done properly then more often then not it'll result in a pretty good story It's a concept that's been proven to be very successful so I think it's pretty natural that writers keep exploring the idea. Like they say; if it ain't broke, don't fix it Statistically speaking it's probably the best so-called plot device you can use in a story |

| you need to be an intelectual to properly understand a time loop, and schrodinger's cat most anime fans are intelectuals, therefore these anime will get high rated |

romagia said: you need to be an intelectual to properly understand a time loop, and schrodinger's cat most anime fans are intelectuals, therefore these anime will get high rated I don't think most Anime fans are intelectuals , It's probably they just love the Romance in it and how the MC Time loop to save others ..etc I am very interested in Time loop in real life yet I don't like it in Anime because Romance involved |
| I'm not sure nowadays, but yeah I did notice a rise of them. Mostly because that time-travel aspect of it probably. I tend to stray from it because people don't have the intellect to understand them *coughErasedcough* and it mostly depends on the plot, in my opinion. |
 "Achieve not with the squad, but by yourself." - Urie  |
| I wish I knew. My chips goes to "people like struggling characters", and that plot device implies the MC is/has suffered from something and is going to fix it, unless the author screws him up somehow to keep it "interesting". Is cool they like it. I find it lacks tension. After a while, it can become boring if it is the end of the show, the main gimmick, so I hope this fad dies soon. |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
