| Well after reading about all the hype and accolade for Steins;Gate I decided to start watching it. For me I've had to drag myself through the first 5 episodes trying to get into it but so far I've found no interest whatsoever. The episodes seem to drag and I've even resorted to reading episode synopses ahead. So has it been like this for anyone else? |

For me I've had to drag myself through the first 5 episodes trying to get into it but so far I've found no interest whatsoever. The episodes seem to drag and I've even resorted to reading episode synopses ahead. So has it been like this for anyone else? The first entire half of the series is character introduction and development meant to set the tone and pacing a certain way to give the viewer a false sense of comfortability, the actual plot doesn't get moving until around episode 13. There's a drastic change in everything from the general air about the show and pacing to the entire story and characters at that point. However, more importantly than anything else; if you aren't enjoying a show, stop watching it. If you force yourself to continue it WON'T payoff if you hate it so much you're not even watching episodes and just spoiling them for yourself by reading synopsis (which, in turn, will no doubt make every single episode that much more boring as you already know what happens). It's a show meant to come off as a much more normal laid back series than what it becomes - but honestly if you're to such a hilariously low level of interest after only 5 episodes you really should drop it. You'll ruin it for yourself and be sure to not enjoy it by forcing yourself through - even if you end up liking it later on. If you REALLY want to watch it some day, put it off for now and start again some day down the line. But at this point you'll get nothing but disappointment or an "it was okay I guess" at best if you keep going through watching a show you clearly can't stand whatsoever. |

| Just drop it. Not everything is for everyone. |
| Most of the people encountered that when they started Steins;Gate ( Including me ). Just continue watching it, shit will get real in the second half. |
j4x said: Just drop it. Not everything is for everyone. ^This. While I think it's a quality title, I also thought Steins;Gate was boring as fuck, even after the supposedly "good" second half. Different strokes. |
 |
| Please try to survive your hardest till episode 13. I didn't hate it at first, I knew it was interesting and I do admit that it first I felt like... "whens the good part going to come out?" but once it episode 13 you'll maybe love it if its in your taste, I know I did as many others. |
| Obvious troll is obvious. |
| One of the redeeming qualities of steins gate has got to be the romance, In fact towards the end the romance was so well developed that it in my opinion surpassed the plot. I actually didn't find the plot to be too amazing, it was pretty good, but also pretty predictable and painfully repetitive at times. Steins gate was about the romance for me, in fact its the best romance I've seen yet, surpassing even animes whose main focus is romance. |
| Thanks for the replies guys. Think I'll drop the series :/ Not much in it for me |

| It's just boring as fuck for me. Up to episode 9 too hard to watch |
Sunyko said: It's just boring as fuck for me. Up to episode 9 too hard to watch Seriously, if you don't enjoy a show just drop it. Just because a lot of other people like it doesn't mean you need to. Anime is all about entertainment, so if something isn't entertaining you just drop that shit and find something more suited to your tastes. I know a lot of people try to force themselves to like things because how popular or well liked in general they are, but if you make yourself deal with shows for that you'll end up feeling like anime is a chore and not enjoying it anymore. |

I disagree to that. Some animes if you go to it till the end sometimes you start loving for it for what it is. And then on your first rewatch you'll enjoy it a lot more because you already know that you love it now and that its actually good even if you weren't interested in the beginning. |
| PFFFT 20 episodes! I stayed up to 5am to finish this thing in a day, TOOOOOO EPIC! |
| Sorry to hear you're dropping it. Perhaps if you were around to watch it each week as it was airing you would have had a different feeling about it. There were many great discussions going on which made it entertaining the whole way. If you do decide to go back to watching Steins;Gate, you should at least watch up to episode 13. |
  |
| I was into it from the beginning because I loved the whole uncover a conspiracy angle. But if I found it to be boring as fuck, and someone told me to watch until episode 13, I probably wouldn't do it. Sure, there's a huge twist, but if you're not into it at all, then you probably won't care in the second half either. I've never ever watched an anime to the end and found it growing on me. There are several that I hated from the beginning, but forced myself to finish, and I still hated it at the end. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| I mean I could understand...I think. It's like me and LoGH, it's probably not my cup of tea. I think it's because I want some mystery at hand rather than it being spelled right in-front me...and the lack of cliffhangers makes the watch not marathon worthy to me. Katsucats: "I was into it from the beginning because I loved the whole uncover a conspiracy angle." Same here. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Gotta agree with the guys above me, the factors that made steins gate so amazing for me was Okabe's personality + Epic romance, and both were evident in the first half so I didn't really have a problem with the characters just screwing around as long as I got to see Okabe scream obnoxiously. Although the plot does pick up later into the series, it isn't the star in the series. If your a steins gate fan, you should know from the beggining |
| giving this anime one more chance, gonna complete to the end...but i'll be merciless if it turns out a waste of time! Was really hard to get into it, art is bleh also, but i wanna know what people see in this, so.....lets see if it really deserves to be rated that high. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| I dropped this show after 7 episodes when it originally aired. Recently I came back to it. I finished it and it earned a 10 score. The first half sets the mood and the 2nd half mind fucks you. That's the best way I can describe it. |
IntroverTurtle said: He was probably refeirng to how it takes 60 episodes of one piece to get good which he stuck with, as appossed to the 12 episodes it does for steins which he quit. Which is a very valid point.IcecreamManwich said: >Implying there's something wrong with watching One Piece.Sunyko said: Enjoy your One Piece -_-Thanks for the replies guys. Think I'll drop the series :/ Not much in it for me Its like me complaining about waiting or steins to get good is too long yet i sat through the horrendous start of gintama....which i did.....god damn that started sucked Hell steins gate is significantly easier to sit through as the start is legitimently quite funny and entertaining, it probably noly seems harder just cause people go in with the mind set of "come on 9.00+ score show, lets see what you got" and are expecting the things you get in the 2nd half from the start |

That may effect the way they treat the anime. Or he could have looked at the OP's profile, seen that he likes One Piece, an anime that he may not like. And then said "Enjoy your One Piece -_-" as a way of implying that One Piece isn't as good as Steins;Gate. There's always one person in most "I don't like this anime" threads that brings up the shounens as a group of people that won't watch anything good. |

| Wow picked it up again. Was pretty glad I did though it gets a lot better around episode 12-13 :D Thanks for the replies and making me pick it up |
| Its no question that the first dozen episodes are a slow wind-up, but what really got me into it was the show's accurately correct points relating to real-world organizations and people. (John Titor & SERN/CERN) I remember reading about the John Titor posts a few years back and when I first heard his name mentioned in the anime I like nerdgasmed a bit lol |

But really you shouldn't judge people off of their avatar. Don't base all highly popular shows with SAO just to get your point across, which was stupid anways. And that's your own stupid rule, it had enough plot to get itself on the front page of the top list. Watch it before you make those claims. |

| I remember that I thought the first few episodes were a little weird, but I was curious so I continued watching. I must say that this is one of the best anime's ever. The emotional roller coaster this show brings forth will turn you inside-out, and will make you think and analyze while you enjoy it. Not many animes, let alone other mediums in this day and age can do that. This show is mesmerizing. |
