| He tryna make judgements about people through their anime favs 😭💀 |
| Signature gone |
nah, u don't gotta be smart to understand steins;gate and it's time travel concepts, it's really not that hard to follow as long as you pay attention, so that argument about people only saying they like steins;gate only to look smart is automatically dogshit  |
| Damn how did you know I have Steins Gate at number 1 because it makes me look smarter. I thought I had a full proof plan that was just foiled by this one thread. This is impossible now I will have to add my true favorite anime that make me look stupid like Toradora and Bunny Girl Senpai. Might as well add best girls with peak character design like Yui Yuigahama and Mai Sakurajima. |
| Won't you ever get tired of these threads? Don't want it to have such high rating? Cry about it that's all you can do about it. |
| What does liking this anime even have to do with being smart. I'm pretty sure people living under a rock can understand what time travel is. |
 |
| People are always trying to pick apart and overanalyze this show, which is fine, but once you get to the point where you're asking "do people only like this show for clout?" you should maybe stop and think, perhaps people just like the show, simple as? |
| No, I say it cause it’s REALLY GOOD 🙂 |
Argonant said: Its pacing and the characters are the main reason it's among my favourites in the first place. I don't think you know what qualifies as good pacing or you just want instant gratification. I can say with full confidence that the time travel working is not the primary reason most people like it. It's just a plot device. It isn't the type of anime that is carried by animation or physical character design. It's about character conflicts. Tropes or not, their conflicts feel natural. You clearly view shows through a different lens which is ok. To answer your question, it's just a type of genre that isn't popular among general audiences. MAL users are anime fans. This, completely agree with what you said. |
| Lot of people just have a misunderstanding of what makes this show great. Time travel is not even the best part of it. The characters and their stories are what makes this anime good. Coming to the reason why it's not popular in the "real" world. You're probably just not looking in the right place I guess? Many people love Steins;Gate, be it the show or the visual novel. Now as to why it isn't often talked about is because it doesn't have a conventional genre. People mostly tend to talk about superheroes and action adventure stories. Sci-fi is usually not the talk of the crowd unless it's brought up. |
oataoa said: CickNipolla said: except that there is no such thing as "basic knowledge " of the concept of time travel. as time travel is made up lol time travel isn’t made up, it’s been theorized and proven in the enstein’s relativity, especially ( and mostly time travel in the future, it’s true that from what i know it’s only possible in the future and not the past ) but warping of spacetime itself due to gravitation and relative velocity isn’t science fiction time travel is not possible. relativity is not time travel, as you are not going back or forwards in time relative to where u were. |
| I personally like time travel related stuff, there are two well executed of those stories on my favs: Steins:Gate and Vivy, that's my personal reason. Idk how liking either of them actually makes you smart tho anyone can understand Steins:Gate if they think a bit...if it was Netflix's Dark then there might be a point. |
CickNipolla said: I cant really see why else Steins;Gate would be so popular on this forum yet so unpopular in the normal world. Most people you talk to arent going to say Steins;Gate is one of their favs, yet on this site its in the top 5. Im starting to think its more about people wanting to make their taste in anime look better by saying they liked the complex time travel anime. Its animation and character design are subpar, its first half is extremely poorly paced, and the show uses extremely generic character tropes. A complex anime =/= automatic masterpiece. by assuming your Favorite it's understandable why you made this thread i.e u just can't understand complex anime but Stein's Gate is not that complex it's easy to understand.... below avg IQ.... |

Stempe said: I said it is good as my first phrase, how does that mean I don't like it?FLAME-FURY said: Steins gate is good but it is definitely very overrated. It has been top 5~ on mal for a while now, there are MANY other animes which deserve top 5 way more than this. I can see why people like it so much, but statements like "this is a masterpiece and nothing compares to it" are all delusional. that's because you don't like steins gate for me it deserves its ratings because i like steins gate but if you don't like it then it's easy for you to say it's overrated. Saying something is overrated doesn't mean that I don't like it. |
| Or maybe it's because they simply liked it? But I agree, it wasn't that good imo. |

NewestPersonHere said: Dear OP, people like Steins;Gate because they enjoyed the anime~ By the way, Steins;Gate has the most toxic anime fanbase. Good luck with their personal attacks~ ehhh i wouldn't say the most toxic but yeah it is very toxic |

I have a feeling you don’t understand it so to cope with it and come on here and post something like this smh you cant understand a show with more plot holes than episodes |
NotTheJacobo said: So you admit that I'm right? Cool. I respect everyone's opinions, but at least make an effort to understand it before posting something like this youre not supposed to understand a bad show, you just accept its bad and move on. you dont attempt to understand a psychopath or serial killer |
