| So, like, I personally find the best part of this episode being the VN's OP in the end of the episode. Then there's Okarin's reaction when he realizes that he'll be foreveralone.jpg, as his future self still behaves like he does now. And Dal's "Oh, the usual Okarin's back." On another note, I hope White Fox gets a lot of adaption jobs in the future, because they're doing it really well. Unlike some other studios who can't adapt shit. Again, back to avoiding the forums. |

Really, I can't think of any alternatives for the revival of Hououin Kyouma. So much win... T_____T White Fox is such a decent studio. Tho I wished Hayashi-senesi took the role of screenwriter himself... Hanada is too unstable... =\ |

| ^ come on, its just one small part T.T" Other than that, everything is awesome |
| just give this anime rating 10 already. |
| Wow this ep was really amazing. Okabe is really epic!! True mad scientist!! Now it is really hard to wait for next ep x_x |

| Pretty epic set-up for the final episode :) |
| Oah god. Okabe is so epic! I missed his mad scientist laugh. One episode left. I'm sure next week is gonna be godly. |
 |
| okabe is epic, one of the best characters I have ever seen, if not the best, well developed and growing with the series. I started on Sunday and now I'm going to die... whi we have to wait one week for knowing the end. This ends seems is going to be epic ending also! |
| I don't get why Okarin had to fail saving Kurisu once to see the video message he got from his future self... Does anyone get this? |

STM said: you can't success if you don't fail ...I don't get why Okarin had to fail saving Kurisu once to see the video message he got from his future self... Does anyone get this? When Okabe kill Kurisi, Okabe's emotion will not only effect that present, but it also effect the future Okabe.Okabe from the future work more hard to find a way to save Kurisi when Okabe from the past kill Kurisi.imo The observer has been Observed LOL |
| Bumped up to 10. GOD FUCKING DAMN. Nothing gets me more pumped up than seeing a character go through hell and come out on the other side with the FUCK YEAH LETS DO IT spirit Ok- Hououin had at the end. It's THIIIIIIS close to knocking Madoka off the top spot as AotY. A ending with this quality, or better, will do it. |
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command. If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."  |

Okabe's fail CREATED that Okabe who sent the message. :) |
 |
| I'm speechless.... Awesome episode as always! Can't wait for the final episode! |
| I re-watched the first episode of S;G and... look to this: -> The episode's title is: The epilogue to the start and end What Okabe did in this episode 23, he made the same thing in the episode 1. D: |

STM said: I don't get why Okarin had to fail saving Kurisu once to see the video message he got from his future self... Does anyone get this? First off, the D-MMS (let me put it that way) was actually sent to the world line where Okabe fails to save Kurisu. and NOT the world line where Okabe sees Kurisu being stabbed. And the message was meant to be seen on 21st in the latter world line (and to avoid the message being overridden by the apparently garbage MMS, he was asked to leave the cell phone on the 21st when he time travels with Suzuha). Since in both scenarios, Kurisu dies, they are basically of world lines that Converges in the similar fate, the garbage MMS is just part of the convergence. Okabe wasn't the one who killed Kurisu. To be more blatant, the world was killing Kurisu which was a result of Convergence, and a world being lead to WWIII in 2036, leading to the casualty of 5.7 billion people in the world. Secondly, Okabe's attempt to change the world line to save Kurisu and cross the boundary of singularity of Convergence (i.e. 1.0) shifted the world to a different line where Kurisu ends up joining the lab as lab member 004, in the same world line, that converges to the death of Mayuri and later in a world where Okabe and Daru both dies fighting the organization SERN, which supposedly would be ruling the world in 2036. Now this is where the trick is, Mayuri actually dies in a world line before Kurisu dies in the other. Which lead to Okabe getting to know Kurisu, developing feelings for her and then dedicating his 15 years of life to find a way to change Kurisu's fate. FUCKING BRILLIANT. /I could be wrong. So apologies beforehand :') |

| AHHH!!! Each episode is just better than the previous, and there all just midn blowing!!!! Kirisu dieing was a real pain to see, but okabe at the end was just plain EPIC!! This anime is just better than perfect!! XD |

Kansokusha said: I heard people said that this part is similar to ~ ドラマCD「無限遠点のアークライト」 ; drama CD [Endless Apoptosis 1.130205%] Mayushi's turn to become a temporary heroine ^^ |
| "The world is in the palm of my hand!" There's only one other notable character to ever have said that exact line and they are both probably the best male protagonists to exist in anime. |
 |
| Hands down this IS one of the best anime I have seen of all time. Can't wait to see the last episode. |
 |
| So that's what happened it's all shown at the first episode I almost forgot about that old man, do your best Okarin and kill that asshole hahaha ! |
 |
| is it just me or did suzuha sound different? |

communiist said: Every episode in this show is just fucking amazing. and what ever happened to kurisu being a sern spy? I guess that was false but oh well Kurisu was a SERN spy, in a significantly earlier, or possibly the original, divergence line, the events of which we actually NEVER see in this anime. In this line, nothing has been altered by time travel -- so Kurisu had an argument with her father, but she was not stabbed by a time traveling Okabe. Afterwards, Kurisu's father may or may not have stolen her research, but we can assume that Kurisu eventually meets and partners with Okabe (under circumstances different from what we understand), and then Kurisu probably betrays Okabe to gain her father's, who probably has still defected to the Russians. One of these groups eventually creates a time machine of significance, and then we get the first divergence lines, which is all that is shown to us. It might be important to consider the possibility that Suzuha's time machine allows her to travel across multiple divergence lines with her original memories intact (while in the machine). If you assume that each iteration of Suzuha can only have come from the immediately preceding or current divergence line, it becomes very difficult to connect the dots and explain how the events change. But if the machine allows inter-divergence travel, it becomes simple. In other words, Suzuha comes from a divergence that's pretty remote from the divergence we see, and there are several divergences in between that account for the differences between what we see, and what Suzuha relates to us. After all, if Okabe and invent a device that measure the distance between the current and a preceding divergence point, then he can probably also design a device that allows a person to travel between divergences. Edit.... El. Psy. Congroo. |

Omniknight said: "The world is in the palm of my hand!"

|
| Suzuha back to give Okarin more TimeTravel awesomeness. So, assumptions were kinda right on Okabe being involved with Kurisu's death. The scream in the first episode, really did give it away. Pretty surprising(to me) that Nakabachi is Kurisu's father, I have completely forgotten about him,lol. Anywho, I feel like this episode lacked something, but still good. Last episode should blow my mind, if not - still gonna be labeled as a "masterpiece" to me, everything during episode 11-22 has been godly.. |
 |
| So intense! This tied up so many loose ends, especially from the first episode. The scream was indeed himself. His future self still speaks the same way with his clever names for everything. "I sound like a rabid fangirl". xD Can't wait until the conclusion even though I don't want it to end either! D: |
 |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esrHhfB5PdU Check the first 2 sentences of the PV, omg |
My body was not ready... for those epic mad scientist poses!!! but what's this thing i see? OMG! *running nerviously in circles* I was screaming like a fangirl when Hououin Kyouma returned! El Psy Congroo |
Fai said: Funny thing was of Hitler indeed being wise but in thee end foolish. The Germans had a army of 50 years in advancements. 50 YEARS! That is crazy. They still lost. So they say with power comes great responsibility but no one can take the responsibility of time! NO ONE! Why? Because its infinite as is the Universe. Thus its impossible to take on such responsibility so what you do? Well you follow the story of Okabe and learn from it not to mess nor even try to mess around with time for it will screw your life like it did with Okabe. Yumekichi11 said: Fai said: Guess it's time to see the first episode after this. I though it was the best to do it after this episode.The best part is how good it fits with Episode 1 and how Okabes final lines and what he has to do ghastly mirror what he has said AT THE VERY START of first episode. PS: Okabe watch your ass after that! If it found out you deceived time it can still bit your back! I know a series that is going on for 3 movies already and death really was pissed off from being deceived. Watch out Okabe! First ep opened with narration: "The universe has beginning but no end. infinite. The stars too have a beginning, but their own power leads them to their own destruction. Finite. History dictates that its the wise who are most foolish." Perhaps you may screw around with the world but the attractor field will screw with all your most precious. Starting by a girl you like/are friends with for a while (Okabe's case was Mayuri) then going worse and worse most likely. Point being is that Okabe's story shows that whoever is messing with time now is doing a big mistake towards all of us. Fai said: Funny thing is I really think this a huge lesson towards the IRL CERN with some plans they have. Could be a ROFL but I know a black hole swallowing the earth is not far off as being a potential risk in the level of experiences they are doing with let's say anti-matter. Point being is, someone should send the series to CERN office. See what they say of this?Is the sort-of monologue he says at the start of first episode, while we zoom around the telephone lanes and stuff(especially zooming into a transistor that looks like time machine) Now going line by line: Time-line. And world-lines as well as cause and effect, like the fact that Okabe caused everything to happen because he caused everything to happen. Okabe causing THE WHOLE SERIES TO HAPPEN by his actions in the penultimate episode because of his own power. As well as the knowledge and theory of time machine leading the world to its end. Okabe needing to be wise enough to fool his past self. And in a sense, he was outsmarted and played for a fool by himself since very first episode. |
Darkfalz said: After a good nights sleep I was able to wrap my head around the series but while the rest of my questions should be solved in the final episode I'm unsure of one thing. I noticed in the world where okabe falls In love with kurisu she originally had no interest in time travel and thought it was bs. In the world he reverts to when she dies we find out she wrote the paper and started what was ww3. Is this just the effect of a different world line? She did have an interest, she just didn't show it cause if she proved Time travel works or whatever, her father will hate her more. |
Kansokusha said: EXACTLY! It's kind look who is laughing now! Ha! Mayuri was useful in thee end and that slap really is still making me really happy.Oh the Almighty Tutturu Slap. It meant so much. Operation Skuld would have been failed and became an endless loop if not for Mayuri. Who could have known? Someone has made a noble sacrifice off-screen. Love truely can transcend time and space... Been watching the end of the episode over 5 times now where the VN music is played to test out the emotional response. Used to do shit in psychology. Have found out that the VN music + the general mood that does make you want to "Yeah! Let's do it! Let's make it all good again!" stuff like that + the hopes totally = to a outburst of emotions. For me it was yelling and tearing. It's too powerful for a scene. It's like watching one of Clannad. No matter it affects you. That is really amazing in anime. It requires really powerful directing. Took me 10 times at some part of Clannad to not affect me much. Yeah at the end I did yell out El! Psy! Congroo! Yeah! |
Kansokusha said: shiromegami said: You mean her attitude? She's a REAL soldier now. Trust me, she can kill without blinking an eye, if she has to.is it just me or did suzuha sound different? i watched episode 16 and episode 23 again her voice is still the same it was just the way she talked.. so yea youre right but the song was definitely different.. |
|
| Be right back, gotta' pick up my brain off of the floor 'CAUSE IT FREAKING EXPLODED |
| Wow! This is another 10 for me! Okabe sure has a lot to do in the last episode! |
 |
| Epic on many levels. Let's get this show started. |
