KANLen09 said: So it WASN'T A JOKE when the director ACTUALLY said that Mio will be more on the tsundere style, reminds me of Shana's VA (maybe just the same), and it shows. Mio was actually more tsundere in the VN and was constantly clashing with Takuya. They're too friendly with eachother here imo! |
Nick_Creations said: Am i the only one who saw the Oopa ( Steins;Gate Easter Egg ) on this ep ? I saw it too(came here to see if anyone was mentioning it). |
nightcrawlercyp said: ycleped said: So I have to watch half the show to be entertained? You'll take back 'predictable' at least by the end of the first cour. Reading this visual novel, it was one of the least predictable things I've ever seen. That's just how some slow-burn shows work. Steins;Gate literally was mostly a slice-of-life with barely anything significant happening for almost half of it (doesn't help that the anime pretty much omitted any real science and infodumps that the Visual Novel had in the same time stamps), but without that part, it wouldn't work the same way. This is the JoJo for its HunterxHunter, don't expect to quickly get into the real meat only 2 episodes in. They are actually going much faster than the very well built VN, albeit skipping some stuff (that hopefully will be adapted later, since it's quite important). I wouldn't expect this to be any faster, some stories are just structured like that. |

| A lot of people are commenting that the episode was not bad. Well, it's not good either. I really hope it picks up. Everything just seems clumsy and drawn out so far. |
| Parallel world my ass, that artifact thing is just a regular old time machine with some save slots and a load button... |
 |
| dang that chest grab from the thugs lol |
 |
| The part where Takuya rewinded time to take another "round" totally reminded me the movie scifi movie Edge of Tomorrow lol Not bad, at least we learnt how this device worked and I find the idea of parallel worlds interesting, it is a bit similar to a video game I loved, Life is Strange. |
 |
| Interesting so far, but I'll have to try hard to not think or care about the science&logic behind the "travel" mechanic, otherwise this would quickly become unbearable to watch. |

Lucky for you, there's history behind the device and the components to the device and how it works will all be explained. The device is a huge plot point and has tons of meaning, it's not just some random thing out of nowhere that allows Takuya to time travel. Try to figure it out before it's revealed, because it's definitely possible to as you gain more information! So yeah, actually thinking hard about the science/logic is something you SHOULD be doing. |

Writers of sci-fi tend to selectively deal with some paradoxes and conveniently ignore others when time travel or parallel worlds are involved in their works. I won't have my hopes up, but I'll look forward to how things go then. The animation of the "travel" seems to hint at electronic (memory?)data transfer so far, which could be a plausible explanation on it's own to an extent, without using magic, while supernatural may or may not be in play. |
| I feel sorry for all his alternate realities. He just abandons then and takes over another. They probably got their asses beat/killed |
EmptyTrain said: I thought it was pretty interesting. Makes me wonder where the show will go next. Let me list a bunch of the things that I'm quite fond of so far: the MC's "deceased" father having once been a historian active in academia, the parallel world/time travel thing that'll grow to have more significance as the show goes on, the mystery--just what the hell is really going on? I love time travel shit so yeah that explains a lot. Even if the show turns out to be not that good later on I'll probably still watch because of the time travel/parallel universe thing. Hopefully they explain and explore all of the possible dimensions associated with the time traveling because that would be awesome and satisfying. I mean, it's supposed to run for--what--26 episodes. I'm just hoping that it uses its relatively "long" episode run (when so many shows last for 12/13 episodes) to give us a decent story. At the very least, it should be entertaining. In regards to the 400 year theory, or whatever the heck it's called, it's also interesting how it alienated the MC's father from academia. Honestly, I really don't see why. Isn't it a rather...unhelpful theory? (As someone who is not a historian by any definition of the word, perhaps my comments are inaccurate) So what if Japanese history experiences a really pivotal moment every four hundred years? Even if this is the case, what does it really tell us about history? Isn't it a bit arbitrary? So what if it's every four hundred years? It could be every one hundred years for that matter, but so what? I don't know if any of this made any sense. I enjoyed reading your comment! They'll go into more depth on the 400 year theory and its significance, as well as what his father was trying to use the theory to claim. While time travel is a big part of the story, it's not the major focus of the story. The overarching plot that will soon develop is the part that really makes this story shine. I wouldn't worry about it not being good later on because it's a slow-burner: it really makes it seem like everything is all normal at the beginning before building up and up and then devolving into absolute utter madness. The second cour of this is why I truly love the story and why it's one of my absolute favorites of all time. |
| The best part of this episode, of course: |
| Oh a reset button! quite convenient huh! i wanna have that as well for pervy purposes gueguegueheheheh! 4/5. |
 |
| 2nd episode and still not sure if it's worth watching. this 2nd episode was quite pathetic how the main character behaved with the time / space manipulation device. |

| Second episode definitely made me like this show more, I'm intrigued at how well they'll handle the time travel stuff as the season goes on |

| The MC repeatedly restarting time to try, and fail, to take down that thug was funny. I am definitely curious about the mystery girl. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |

| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| Hmm im still confused for many things.. but i hope it will explained later.. for now i guess. 5/10... i kinda like time traveler or something of similiar theme.. so yeah i will watch more for now.. |
 |
| My NTR radar was tingling throughout the end |
| I actually really liked to hear Kugimiya Rie's voice in Mio lol, I guess I just missed her voices so much ... 400 year theory is sound absurd though, I guess Meiji Restoration is not a big event for Japanese people while it was the most popular history event of Japan to outside world ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Nice MC xD never giveup |
| Much better pacing than the first episode. |
 |
| no mobile phones? |
| How to test a device that can litteraly transport you to a parallel universe of a time in the past? Just throws some cans and repeat..... That last scene reminded me of the "Dormammu i've come to bargain" scene in the movie Doctor Strange |
 |
| The ending of the episode was a big wtf. Takuya failed like 3 times while the other guy suddenly comes to the rescue lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I wonder if I should have watched something before starting this one... 2 eps and I still wonder wtf is happening, who are these people, why should we know or care about them..? |
