awesome choice on the 2 main ppl
having shinku/kida sounding like mad scientists is really awesome to hear. i'm already loving this show from the get-go.
definitly like the personalities. it would be awesome to have rin as a friend, though i'd prefer to not be with him in public. lol

Very interesting episode. I'm sure this anime won't get worse, only better.

Bahaha, I knew I'd like this when then brought up John Titor! Oh man. The beginning seemed very Lain-ish to me. It does sound though, that they're trying a little bit too hard with the waifu mention and @chan, but that's fine. Undoubtedly, I am going to like this.

To think I found out about this from Tuturu videos on youtube.

From what I've seen, his phone is probably a time machine or something like that. I don't know how it works, but I guess sending messages has something to do with it. The episode is a good start.

I watched it this week, it's amazing and your assumption is correct. After maybe five episodes the story picks up. If you stick with it through the end, make sure to watch the special, its really well done.

At first I was just left clueless about the whole situation but then wham! Revelations made, redhead's back in action. As for the rest of this episode's plot, well It's going to be those situations where I won't be told until the last episode isn't it!

Instantly recognized Hanazawa's heavenly voice. Of course I'm liking Mayuri a lot so far.

OP and ED are great.

So it seems like the phone is some sort of time machine. Or something like that haha. It's kinda confusing to me so far but the story's just getting started. Good start.

I just started this about ten minutes ago... 0_0 I actually don't understand much except that it has to do with science. Bad turn-off for me at the moment, as I am NOT a science person. ^_^''

A few perks at the moment, spare the confusion:
-Mamoru Miyano doing another "mad" character (AKA, a reference to Light Yagami. Fufufu.)
-Nice art right now.
-MURDER! ^_^ Everyone loves murder!

Well, so far, I find it to be decent, and I will continue. Hopefully the haze clears over time...

You don't really need to be a science person to understand it, they will explain most of the things.
The main events will start in the next few episodes, so keep watching at least until that :)

hahaha the banana part made me laugh, could see it coming after the first time she said it I was just like -_-. Anyways this is somewhat confusing, its ok but also a tad bit tired of this whole "Mind F's are all masterpieces" mentality that is going around.

going into this, i wasnt expecting much, since ive read a few things saying it doesnt pick up until eps 10, but holy hell, to me this picked up on the first eps (i knew id like mayuri the moment she said "okarin", an then what happened about 3/4th the way through the eps, an then that cliffhanger at the end, this is set up to be great so far lol hope they kept at it

That was a very impressive first episode. The way they introduced the time traveling aspect was quite clever and I’m excited to see where it goes. I am also very impressed with the high quality of the dub. This series seems to thrive on spitfire language so I appreciate that I get to hear it instead of see it. I also like that they made the main character speak like he is in a Shakespearian play for a good number of his lines.

Woo, might take 2-3 eps to get me used to this style, but first impression, seems very good. I love the cast, at the moment.

Ending > Opening, but both are good.

Def. gonna continue watching!

I like the darker style of this anime. It is quite confusing at first though. I guess it will take a couple of episodes to get into these series.
And those were some floppy bananas, if you know what I mean.

Wanted to rewatch this for the second time, now that the movie is coming up. The opening/meeting the characters again gave me chills almost throughout the whole episode...

Just start playing the VN recently, really one of complex VN I have ever play.

I'm glad the anime follow faithfully but the pace for this ep is too fast though. Not surprised that many people watching this show for the first time confused with this ep.

Still great animation & hearing that title music is so nostalgic haha. Okabe's mad scientist antic is the best!

I know I'm kind of late here, but I only just realised this was set in the same universe as Chaos;Head.

It didn't even click to me... even though they both have ";" in the middle of the title and that kind of thing isn't common.

Damn, I can be dull sometimes. That being said, this was a pretty confusing/boring first episode. I know it must get better though, since it's one of the most popular animes on MAL! Off to episode two!

I have no idea what's going on but that's cool... I guess. Time travel shows don't really ever make sense in my mind they kinda throw me off
i.e. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Mirai Nikki

Was the art supposed to be all black-and-white ish or was it just the site I was watching on? I guess it's supposed to portray that darkish look; but still it bothered me quite a bit. I'll keep watching so see what's up, though.
