What did you intially think of the first couple of episodes of Steins;Gate?
| I find it weird when people say that Steins;Gate takes a while to get good because I liked it immediately. I guess it's more about me liking slice of life stuff and the characters. However, I'm curious. How many of you guys disliked the first couple of episodes? If the first couple of episodes were disliked that much, I doubt it would've gotten a score this high. |

| That this show is a Slice Of Life Comedy.....Never expected any turn of events which we got after ep 18. Okabe is the reason the first 'couple of episodes ' are fun, and many people loved his character. Moreover who would hate a character who have guts to touch balls to know their gender ๐. (I remember kid Goku was loved by everyone XD) But in SG0 Okabe is totally different, and fans didn't like it,, also Kurisu is absent, that's why it got a low score compared to the original. |

| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| I liked them and going back to them after finishing the show, I liked them even more than the "good" half |
| I loved the show throughout. The first 12 episodes which many people seem to unanimously conclude to being 'boring' just didn't watch the same show imo. The ending of 12th episode makes everyone go bonkers. Sure, it comes out of the blue and is in fact, a really shocking event, but that's not the only event up until that point which comes out as 'totally unexpected'. There are many surprising events throughout the show and yet almost everyone seems to get excited only over a The biggest problem is what one expects out of the show before watching it. If I were to guess, some people either don't care for the characters or they don't care what the characters are talking about. In my case, I fell in love with almost every character and Okabe's interactions with them were really interesting due to his intriguing persona. But if you go in seeking a sci-fi time travel story, filled with action and adventures, I reckon many will be disappointed. In fact, Steins;Gate is not even about time travel. It's more of a character study of Okabe. It's a story centered around it's characters, with little bits of time travel in it. |
| i loved them, for me first few episodes were extremely important |

| i REALLY loved them,they emitted mysterious vibes,although the show got slower as they progressed,but the mystery still lurked,and finally,the 2nd half paid off everything. |
 |
| I liked them a lot, but I definitely can see why a lot of people might not |

It's more of a character study of Okabe. It's a story centered around it's characters, with little bits of time travel in it. Agreed with almost everything you just said! However I disagree that it isn't centred around time travel. It most definitely is about time travel. Why else would they spend 12 episodes experimenting, theorizing and discovering how the time travel mechanics works. The second half wouldn't have been effective without the audience being in the know on how the time machine works and the limits we're working within. Although the narrative is mainly on the characters' lives, the plot is really about the power of time travel and the very real dangerous consequences that come with abusing that power. I see your point and I mostly agree. The narrative is indeed mainly about the characters, especially Okabe. Again, there are many experiments in the show, lots of time travel related shenanigans but I will still stand firm on my words. Steins;Gate, when looked deeper into, is mostly about Okabe and his internal conflicts. It's a character-driven narrative with time travel as a plot device. The show uses the "power of time travel and the consequences of abusing that power" to challenge Okabe's morality. It's about what he's willing to do for the ones he loves and how far he will go to make things right. Time travel and the dangers surrounding it, in that sense, are just a means to bring about that conflict within him and stir his conscience to make a decision. I agree that looking at it simply, it indeed is a time travel show. But in that case,so is Erased, except it isn't. It has time travel, true. But it is not the main theme of the show, it's just a means to dive deeper into the characters. |
| Very chilling and mystifying. It's that feeling you get when things appear to be great, but you know something is very very wrong. |
| it's gonna be a hot take,bt for me,the frst few eps were my favorite part of the show only second to the last 3-4 eps of the show maybe it's because I watched rezero before watching tis,bt the whole mid section wasnt "the best" part for me cuz it's pretty much the same,imo rezero even did it better in terms of like pain and suffering I liked how the frst few eps laid the foundation of the future eps and make u care Abt all the characters before the main stuff,the dialogue were I think one of my favorite part frm it |

| I had no problem with the beginning of the show. I enjoyed every episode. Probably because I wasn't that big of a critic back then but atleast I wasn't bored. |
 |
| It was like a (mostly) slice of life comedy where you grow to like the characters with some amount of mystery. I still really liked it. |
| I actually find the first half quite interesting, but I didn't enjoy the second half as much as I expected. |
 |
| I remember watching it for the fist time I found the first couple episodes boring. *Notice that was my Shounen phase of anime* I wanted to quit, but my brother kept telling me it will get good at around episode 12 or so, and I loved it ever since. A couple years later I rewatched Stiens;Gate again because I remember nothing about the anime other than some scenes here and there. And on my rewatch, I have to say, I really enjoyed the first half of series just as much as the second half. I guess it’s because of the minor/hidden foreshadowing and buildup, not mention the first episode making sense after watching the last episode. |
| Yes I loved them. I was under the influence for watching the whole series so I forgot a lot of what happened but I remember thinking they were funny and interesting |
| Most of episodes from the first half felt dull, as if they were slice of life fillers. They were nothing close to things often mentioned while praising Steins;Gate. So yeah, I disliked them at first. I can fully understand people who dropped the show after a couple of quite boring episodes, however each time I see somebody about to drop this anime or who has already dropped it, I tell that person: "please, give it a second chance, because it is worth it". Indeed, going through the first half of the show not only opens the gate to the second half, which was fantastic, but also makes that second half better, since all of those minor "slice of life filler-like scenes" start to have deeper meaning. |

I definitely feel the same way. The first episode was enough to drag me in and it was packed with a lot of mystery and suspense. |
