| Are you confused? Bakuramariks didn't say anything about any of that.. |
 |
| just agreeing John Titor is not real since Titor's machine is base on that equation =P |
| That's a very awkward way of agreeing. :p |

Kansokusha said: And in the 2009 Nov issue of Nitroplus Complete, the short story Gate of Chaos revealed that one year before the event of S;G, Okabe met Aoi Sena, one of C;H female cast. Like usual, Okabe played with his antic nonsenses, where Sena commented that he should stop living in his own fantasy. LOL! Way to go, Hououin Kyouma. WTH? Sena has no right to say that to Okarin. Okabe has more awesomeness in his pinky finger than the whole cast of C;H combined. Anyway, in regards to the episode: the past 3 episodes have been sad, but this is the only one that actually made me cry, probably because Ruka is my favorite character besides Okabe (and I REALLY DESPERATELY wanted him to just KISS HER in that last moment before the world line shifted). I also thought Ruka's reaction was incredibly adorable when Okabe asked if he liked him after the world line shifted. I never thought I'd say this about a character, but can't Okabe just be a LITTLE less... straight? |

| It's official. Kurisu is a virgin!! Now all the crazy japanese virgin otaku lovers can love her without fear. Oh! wait, i forgot, Stein Gate isn't about doing silly things in school. Not there type of anime girl probably. bakuramariks said: I haven't laughed so much for months xD. But when the drama came - amazing. I will say it - Okabe and Makise MUST get married NOW!!! She looked like a stalker, lol. The episode was just fantastic! I can't wait for the next with Moeka. Don't forget the moment she was trying to help him dress up. They behave so much like a married couple. |
| They started behaving like a married couple since episode 2, with their discussion about time machines. Poor Okarin. That's how love begins, with teasing xD. Full with comedy. I'll always laugh when they are in MayQueen and both are hitting the poor table. I thought they are going to break it, lol. Another reason for Makise stalking Okarin was (and i'm 100% sure it is true) because she wanted to be sure he doesn't cheat on her. Maybe Ruka and Okarin would have ended up in bed xD. Also, she wanted to know how he will behave if she goes out on a date with him someday. She was researching her future husband, hi hi. I want to see them kiss. I want to see them confess their love and maybe something more. They are the best virgin couple out there xD. |

Guess I'm gonna have to join the OkabexMayuri bandwagon You chose the wrong wagon. If the story tellers let a romantic relation be created(or at least a kiss before death and things like that) then it can only be with Kurisu. Feyris is clearly friend zone. Suzuha is on dead zone. Moeka is on "the-bitch-works-for-Sern-and-never-talks" zone. Ruka is on friend and "i-can't-forget-she-was-a-he" zone. Not to mention she's going back to the male thing. Nae is on, "Wtf, you sick bastard she's a child" zone, AND in the end Mayuri to the disappointment of many is clearly on the "i love her like a little sister" zone. |

ROFL I just can't help but laughing. His first kiss. X'D Really Okabe can go for anyone he wants. With his Reading Steiner and phone microwave, he's a demigod now. Time will not be an issue for him. Tho atm it seems that the only candidate is Christina. =) |

| I hope he's into necrophilia, otherwise things with Kurisu aren't looking too good. |

I feel as though you are right, and we are bound to see him only realize girl friend like affection for someone right before he loses her. Might bring a tear to the eye if it happens that way. |
| Okarin made lol so much times this episode that I can't really count them :D I really wonder when this anime became harem =D jk, but still... Okarin seems to be the only guy in the world for pretty girls like Rumiho... well, the fate is cruel :D |

| I've been rewatching the series (I know, I simply cannot wait for episode 19), and some observations I've made: -Ruka's feelings for Okabe (which I hadn't noticed before until episode 8) were pretty clear from the beginning (at least in retrospect) -The excellent foreshadowing made by Kurisu in the game that they they play in episode 5: "You only consider your own strategy, without regard to your opponent" (or something along those lines) -It's so incredibly obvious that Suzuha is from the future. I guess Okabe's weirdness kind of made Suzuha's weirdness look normal. -I really don't think it's going to come down to save Kurisu vs. save Mayuri. It really seems like Moeka's D-mail is the key, and not Okabe's. If they can cancel out Moeka's D-Mail, they would be in possession of the IBN 5100, and they wouldn't need to shift the world line any further to save Mayuri (eh... maybe. I'm hoping.) In any case, IF it does come down to save Mayuri vs. save Kurisu... it'll have to be Mayuri. After what Suzuha, Rumiho, and Ruka sacrificed to save her, there really is no turning back now. Besides, Kurisu's intelligence is downright DANGEROUS. Sure, she's on Okabe's side now, but there's a reason Suzuha was suspicious of her. |

| This was the funniest episode until now, nice for a change after all serious talk. When Kurisu said "Did Rukaku looked like Hashida?", there was a very funny reaction after. And, wow, I didn't expected the "Mad scientist" to go on a date in this anime. The scene when Okabe was drinking his cola was hilarious, that "Ehh..?" of his and Hashida's reaction was great too. In that restaurant for for their 'strategy meeting' the waitress looked at Kurisu after she said that place was gloomy. That date was clichéd but funny though. Also that talking about "Patent Day" made really no sense. Next episode the last D-mail. I'm really interested in what is going to happen after that, I think they're going to fight against SERN. I can't wait. |
 I really don't want to go back. If I go back, I'll have to seal away these feelings I have for you! |
 |
| Rukako is such a boring character |
 |
kiradesu said: That he/she is.Rukako is such a boring character |
|
kiradesu said: Rukako is such a boring character :( I love Rukako, and this episode touched me so much. I feel like he wouldn't be as boring if they just gave him more screen time. To each his own, I guess. |
|
| I love this episode, it was kinda hilarious at the part when Okabe was given a tissue by a maid and Kurisu facepalm'd. I felt a little bit bad for Ruka. |
| Great episode. It's time Ruka had some character development, and what's great is that it's a plot AND character development episode at the same time. Now comes the biggest challenge yet for Okarin, reversing Moeka's D-Mail, when they already know she's an enemy. (OT: 200th post) |
RobUsaB said: the very first D-mail isn't it, the one that prevented Kurisu's death? I'm amazed and saddened that I didn't see this coming when the reverse D-mail plan started. edit: Oh, no Shining Finger's D-mail is next! but still, I think I just predicted something awful. Yeah, that just popped in my head too while watching this episode... I hope it's not going to be like that. Making him choose between Kurisu and Mayuri would be awful. |
| I guess that's a problem when VN's are transposed into anime, they have to pick a girl for the ending and all other girls are friend-zoned (they exception to this that i've seen is Amagami SS)! So, next episode should confirm whether Kurisu's idea of undoing all the Dmails will prevent Mayuri's untimely demise. Right, lets get cracking! |
 |
| It's sad everyone has to sacrifice the things they love the most; fathers, love etc. |
| i feel bad for rukako having to be a guy again.. also feel bad that the rukako x okarin gets crossed out romantically at least xD but at least they had a day together.. i wonder if shell remember like feyris did... i hope she does i really should stop saying she and start saying rukako |
 |
kiradesu said: Rukako is such a boring character I think thats the point. They are trying to emphasize how she is a sweet normal girl compared to the the rest which makes it harder to grasp that she is actually a guy. Anyway another great episode the date was hilarious and the ending was nice. |
 |
| God damnit, after 17 episodes the harem is kicking in! |
| Awkward. |
| Didn't like this or the last episode all that much to be honest. I think the series has been rushed recently, especially when you compare it to the more laid back pacing of the early half of the series. It's hard for me to care for characters such as Rukako and Feyris when they didn't give the characters much room to breath. All in all, I'm kind of disappointed. Hopefully, the Visual Novel handles this stuff much better. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Ruka goes back to being a trap. The next D Mails will be a lot harder. |

| One more, man by the end of this anime Okarin's mind will snap =/ |
