Steins;Gate: Time Travel Powered by Dr. Pepper and Bananas

The story of Steins;Gate takes place in Akihabara and is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past. As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down and now the characters have to find a way to avoid being captured by them.

The first of the three VN adaptations this season, and probably the one people are most looking forward to.

I actually found the start enjoyable and find the character designs pretty appealing, specifically Makise's.

I heard most of the game was talking, and there's a lot of jargon, so lets see how that plays out.

Since there's no anime OP yet, let's use a suitable replacement:


Oh, fyi the game isn't an eroge.

I'm excited to watch all the new shows tomorrow when I get back in town.

Nitroplus should tell the studios doing their animations to use the game OPs, 'cause of the "noun;noun" series the game ops have been superior.

So I finally watched it, it was excellent. I really can't anything to complain about so I'll just say........ the banana is soft and moist.
I dunno how it was for Chaos;Head but the OP to this show was some kind of spinoff of the Steins;Gate game OP, not as good, but not THAT bad.

Well let's compare:

I had heard that this was pretty much all talking. In the end it actually turned out to be all talking, though I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would. I want 10000 yen...

Ok so yeah I remembered that Chaos;Head opening immediately after it started, I did listen to it pretty much every time an ep aired, but yeah I like the game version better for this one as well.

So, uh... the bananas travel back in time.

Also, I'm taking a real shining to Makise.

The banana jokes don't get old.

Losing on purpose doesn't really need a plan name.

It was still funny

Episode 5 was AMAZING, I think the biggest part I like about this show is that SERN (which is actually CERN) plays such a huge role in the show, I toured the facility when I was in Switzerland and just having it come back to me full circle in the form of an anime conspiracy is just awesome. Makise Kurisu also just gets better and better and I keep seeing a lil' bit of Tsubaki in her every new episode, also really enjoyed the cameo by Dr. Pepper again.
Fact: I was drinking Dr. Pepper while watching episode 5.

I had a hunch Hooin would try to feed Kurisu a microwave bananna.

Felt more like they were working on the technical and humor side for ep six, plot didn't actually feel it moved anywhere other than Shining Finger being formally added to the harem lab team.

Wow, an actual realistic goal for time travel. Well, they didn't achieve the objective but Hooin got his Dr. Pepper so I guess the experiment was a great success.

Yeah I lol'd when the Dr. Pepper was there.

Well that was a meaningful experiment.

So many time divergences his mind is going to turn to green jelly at this rate.

Mostly unrelated, but there's been details of what the new addition to the series is going to be:

The next series in production will be called Robotic;Notes
- New entry of "Science ADV Game" series by 5pb and Nitroplus.
- The main theme is robots.
- The setting is Tanegashima.
- The protagonist is a person whose only goal in life is to play fighting games.
- The main heroine is a genius programmer and a game developer. The plot kicks in with her introduction.
- The console is not specified yet, but "The series' fans won't be disappointed".
- The developers promise great amounts of 3D graphics.

And two years later we'll get an anime, hopefully.

Show's getting serious now, really great episode.

Yeah this show hasn't let me down yet, Ore-tachi is becoming more bearable because it's making a lil' more sense every time, Denpa-onna turned out how I had hoped but it's still not a good show, and Ano Hana also turned out how I wanted but it's actually a good show.

I thought you were also watching Hoshizora and Aria, or do you just have no opinion?

Well Hoshizora is just what it is, a harem, and Hidan no Aria is just awesome, nothing of interest to point out.

This show is so great... Tutturuu~~~~~
