| So, contributing my theories. First, human death mismatch. I am one hundred percent sure that Okabe is the match they're looking for. I don't really see any way he couldn't be. Second, episode one. Kurisu, shortly before being stabbed, asked him about what was presumably him trying to warn her about the stabbing just fifteen minutes ago. Okabe was unaware of this, which means the world line must have shifted (to one where his text had been sent?) within the last fifteen minutes. His actions had been changed retroactively, but he had no memory of this. It seems to me that this could mean a couple things, but I can't make any of them really make sense yet. The thing that's not adding up for me is that because he remembers the actions of his previous worldline, he'd remember sending the text. I might post an actual theory once I can get one to the point that it's doesn't contradict itself. It seems to coincide with the time when Mayuri loses her metal upa and texts Okabe about it. Those have to be connected somehow. Okabe isn't actually crazy, or at least not as much as everyone thinks he is. His delusions are all a result of retaining knowledge of the previous world line without attaining knowledge of what has been changed. We know that at the very least, in addition to the two we've seen, there was one ten years ago the first time John Titor went back in time. Quite likely most of his fears and paranoias were real at some point. He's also a little unhinged just because of the way reality keeps changing on him. That'll do that to you. Not to mention that it's quite likely history got changed somewhat every time SERN sends anything back in time, which would also effect him. It's quite likely his reality has been shifting on a fairly regular basis for most of his life. |
| awesome episode! it's getting really interesting now :D |
 |
| Holy shit! So Okabe's the only one known so far to keep his memories even in another time branch. That's amazing! So to change the future Titor wants him to be the Messiah? Can't wait to see where this goes! |

| Time manipulation plots always leave me with a headache... -.- ...But they usually tend be extremely interesting since they also tend to work out your brain quite a bit. |
| There is only one reason why I hate this show. Because it is the peak of my weak animewise. No matter how good of an episode another show puts out, it just can't even get close to this. The plot is really interesting and the interactions between the characters are just fantastic. 5/5. I wonder if Suzuha is actually Mr. Brown's daughter from the future, it would be a nice touch. |

Just sayin'. I started thinking that she may be Titor. She does come from the same future after all. Gangler said: Second, episode one.

This troubles me too. Is the only thing that doesn't make sense. He seems to realize when a time line is changed so what happened there? Where they two of him? You can't do that with an e-mail. Did he build a time machine? Was he the one that landed on the roof with that thing that could be a time machine? What changed Kurisu's fate was the message he sent while walking in the street but he realized that change immediately. |

What changed her fate was the message he sent while walking in the street but he realized that changed immediately. Okay, that piece I do have something for. He probably only experiences the big freeze that makes the time line change so obvious when he personally initiates the shift. When other people move the time line, his memories still don't change, but he's also not consciously aware that things are changing either. Of course, that brings up a whole lot of other questions for episode 1. I guess perhaps it's kind of explainable if what he was trying to tell her had nothing to do with the stabbing text, but there's still a whole lot about that which is puzzling in general. Way I see it, there are two world line shifts that had to happen that day. The text, and whatever changed John Titor's time of arrival. The problem is, the text is what would change his behavior towards Kurisu, but he'd have to be aware of that change and it doesn't occur until the end of the episode. John Titor's time of arrival wouldn't explain it either, and also can't have happened within that fifteen minute gap because he spent the tail end of it discussing John Titor with the presenter. There we have our problem. At the end of the day, neither the text nor John Titor could feasibly have been changed within that time period. What there a third shift that day? Did his text somehow change John Titor's time of arrival, and also somehow cause the satellite, but there was a second shift we were unaware of (possibly tied in to that mystery machine?). Okabe and his friends can't have caused the satellite to crash, since none of their actions are in keeping with that. Okabe thought it was Organizations doing, and Super Hacker doesn't give any indications of having done it. Really, I'm starting to think that it's just not possible to make sense of episode one yet with the information we've been given. |
Genix said: Time manipulation plots always leave me with a headache... -.- ...But they usually tend be extremely interesting since they also tend to work out your brain quite a bit. not really , most of them have plot holes. btw i still think that moeka is titor. |
| Tuturuuu.....I just love it when Mayuri says that. |
Gangler said: So the thing is, could a shift within the shift happen? John Titor would be able to know about this and perhaps initiate it but I am not sure how much the world time lines are accessible. I do know there is advanced time manipulation that may let someone into the manipulation of time at the precise level such as shifting a shift already happening within one line. This is rather insane to think but can be attributed to multi time shifts like a time paradox of a time paradox. Really mind confusing stuff TBH.Monad said: Of course, that brings up a whole lot of other questions for episode 1.

| A lot of suspense in this episode. Finally the epicness I was expecting is starting to kick in. 5/5 |
 |
| Suspenseful ending, Things are starting off with a blast! Finally this anime gets somewhere and the Titor story coming back in. |
| I wondered if it's normal for Okarin to retain his memories at all, allready. But now, when he's(again) the only one to do remember what happened before, the scene goes more mystical than I supposed it will. Now really can't predict where's this going to. I thought the same few eps before this one, but now things look even more complicated. Still, I have to watch this episode again and/or think more on this Time-Space string(universe) theory(and the Divergence Number thing), cause' I don't think I got all of it =/ |

| Words can't even describe how awesome this is. |
| Dun dun dun. It all makes a lot more sense. |
 |
| I swear he's like a male version of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon wrapped into one person. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| This episode gave me a paranormal activity shiver specially when he changed the past but no one knew what they've done. And whats this stuff about being a "Messiah"...this is so EPIC i'm completely glued to the screen and i totally see how i'm gonna suffer when i finally have to wait for episodes each week T.T ukonkivi said: I swear he's like a male version of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon wrapped into one person. LOLOL right? i was thinking something along those lines :D |
 |
| Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting! |
| All the time warp and changing the past .. Awesome. ukonkivi said: I swear he's like a male version of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon wrapped into one person. ^ this. |
 |
| Anyone noticed that Light Yagami took over in the end...? looks like Mamoru Miyano takes up the role of another "savior". the laugh doesnt help. |
| . |
| I laughed pretty hard when the landlord's daughter said 'doo doo dooo!' the same way Mayuri does, not sure why. |
| really don't understand what happen but that make this show more interesting |
 |
| hell yeah, it's getting hot now o_o |
| That was actually quite enjoyable, looking forward to the next episode (first time in this show so far). |
| Haha! Okarin was right to be fearful of sending that text. He tried to win an inconspicuous 3rd place, but won second by mistake. And he changed many other things. Tut tut tut, messing with time travel is never a good idea. Unless you're some sort of super intelligence. Which are rare! |
 |
| Was that Naota from FLCL making a cameo walking in the mall near the end?! |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| Wow, this show just took off like a bullet. Really shaping up very nicely and only 1/4th the way through. |

ukonkivi said: I swear he's like a male version of Haruhi Suzumiya and Kyon wrapped into one person. Oh, and I was wondering why he's so awesome. That explains it. This series is literally getting better by the episode. |

| xD can't keep up with Okabe! He's such a interesting character! <3 |
| Do not feed the trolls! They bite ;D |
| This show is nuts lol. One thing is certain, that part-timer has to be from the future. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I don't think the "satellite" from EP1 is really a satellite. There was a fall, but if it had passed through the atmosphere it would have been partly burned during the process. Also, when someone was killed in EP1, it was a male scream, so maybe it was something like "future Okabe dressed as Kurisu to see who would want to kill her". |
| I get the feeling that by the time I've finished watching this, I won't understand a thing! Loving it though. |

 |
| Now that was pretty awesome! I can't say I didn't expect something like this, but the way it was executed...brilliant. |
 |
| Finally they decided to change the past! A lot of things happen and still confusing like why Okarin still retain his memories after the "change". And Kurisu officially declared that she's a tsundere by actually know what that word means =) That part-timer girl may indeed from the future, judging by her actions so far~ |
 |
| It is getting better and better with each episode. |
 |
| Pretty convenient Okabe and her lab buddies just happen to be in the exact same location as before the world line jump and the trap character just happens to bring the ticket as proof. Well doesn't matter, it's just a convenient shortcut and the premise of accidentally (thought I doubt it's accidental, I'll see later) creating a time machine and the fact Okabe's memories can move to someone who is physically another person (him in another timeline) probably mean I'm supposed to overlook stuff like this and enjoy the story. Also, looks like shit's getting real. |
