Random C;H reference at the end. Wonder who that little girl is... Are we gonna see some Di-swords?

Random... they say that in Steins;Gate like 4 times, so, probably no di-swords....

Hmm...like everyone else WTF is with the Chaos;Head reference? Random one says, yet another says it is interlinked somehow concerning that Chaos, Steins, and Robotics all take place in the same universe.

I have no difference in opinion when it comes to the posts in this topic. Slow episode but probably because it is a buildup.

Really wished they used Steins;Gate's character design. Oh wells.

So basically, they're gonna build a gundam mecha? Well, alright I guess.

Found the OP/ED average.


Chaos;Head, Steins;Gate and Robotic;Notes all get different artists. Just the way it is.

I'm just going to say that the plot revolves around"The Robot Boom", but it will lead into a much more "grim" plot.

Chaos;Head = Delusions and Reality
Steins;Gate = Time Traveling
Robotic;Notes = Robots and Augmented Reality

OP song was nice.

Liked that Nyan-nyan app he had for his device (PokeCom?). I wish I had one of those. :3

The contents of the show were alright. Nothing major happened yet so I can't really say anything bad nor good about it.

Woah. So we have some sort of time travel going on. Reminiscent of Steins;Gate?!

ED song was nice.

Looking forward to next episode.

At least we can confirm the chick, I forget her name develops, her presence in that preview really drew me in, if they can realistically develop and mature her character while motivating the MC this can do well.

The early plot will revolve around robots and the Tournament, but as it is a "spiritual sequel" of both Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate, the real plot will be revealed later on and it pretty much involves once again the world.

My guess is the light-heartedness just hides a serious undertone that will become apparent as the series progresses, just like Steins;Gate.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Eagerly began watching the first episode with HUGE expectations, since Steins;Gate is bar none my favourite anime of all time. I'll have to say I'm a tad disappointed, though I'm sure it'll pick up with time.

So far.....
Characters- The main character just seems....meh. No feelings for him yet. On the other hand, really loved Akiho's personality. It's what kept me from giving this episode a '3'. None of the characters are as immediately epic like Steins;Gate's Rintaro though.

Music- OP was decent. Disliked ED. The OP cannot really compare with Steins;Gate's.

Animation- Fluid, nice, spectacular in the scene where Akiho described Gunvarrel.

Story so far- Just a little bit too light hearted for my liking. Waiting for more drama to spike up.

I know I compare it to S;G too much, but that was the expectation I had. I have faith that it'll become so much better though ;) Still stoked for the next episode

A decent introductory episode, Akiho is great. I hope the plot evolves into a evading the disaster story like Steins;Gate did, but I suppose that'll happen after the robo tournament is done with.

O.K. introduction episode, I expected more but Steins;Gate also had a slow start imo.
The ending was rather unexpected, I didn't expect magic here (and I guess it's just an effect).
I'm looking forward to more, this is promising.

There is almost no chance this could be better than Steins;Gate, but it could at least be quite good and better than Chaos;Head. I really hope it will get interesting and have some interesting twists, just like Steins;Gate had.

Yeah, actually FrauKojirou writes like that also in the original VN. but Horriblesubs just took it and ran with the translations.

Very good start, nice use of augmented reality there. it will be interesting to see how much of role it plays during the course of the story. Also Akiho is quite the character. She may not be on the level of say a Hououin Kyouma but she is still very charismatic.

"Sono me, dare no me" - So I take it this is going to be more based on Chaos;head. I really hope they do something good with this considering Chaos;head was awful.

I REALLY hope they include some Steins;gate references especially if this is the Divergence Ratio 1.048596 World Line. Perhaps even a cameo of the mad scientist, Hououin Kyouma!

Actually it is far better. I read the Japanese text in the anime, and the WhyNot's version above sticks much closer to what the Japanese text said. The HorribleSubs would make FrauKojirou sound quite out of character.

After this episode, I can't help but wonder where this is going to go with all the mechas and stuff. Seems like it will remain a rather light-hearted show though, so I won't be holding my breath for any S;G level mind blowing.

The setting seems nice and unique enough though, with all that high tech futuristic stuff being portrayed well imo.

Not a bad start, although I did not know anything about a mecha in this series beforehand. I'm interested to see where it leads, although it seems like nothing much happened except at the ending, with the strange new character. I also wonder why the ED has only one character, but maybe I'll find out later. Not that exciting, but I feel like it will get interesting eventually.

It basically meant that it's in the same universe of The True End of Steins;Gate. That's the simple answer.

The complicated answer = you need to be patient and just watch the anime.

Going by how boring this episode was, it feels more like Calculus;Textbook than robotics;notes.

Nah, just kidding. OK characters and an interesting premise. I think it will be an enjoyable ride, as long as the inevitable genre shift is done smoothly enough (Steins; gate was ok in that regard). As another poster observed above, the last scene transition was just silly. The more you blatantly try to look cool and mystical, the more ridiculous it appears.

Were you expecting it to be dark? (Though I won't lie, I kinda thought the same thing too.)

And I thought it was a pretty average first episode. The technology looked fairly interesting and I like how it's kids building a giant robot, rather than finding/being given one.

However, I have a feeling that the girl will probably be my least favorite character.
And now I feel compelled to finish Chaos;Head because of the dialogue at the end,
