If anyone can help me out please do...

I got totally thrown off this episode...

Okay so Okabe, Christina and the group were talking about "Physical Time Travel." Christina then comments about Okabe being the guinea pig for the next experiment and jokes that Okabe is scared to turn into jelly.

Next, Okabe discusses about getting more info using the IBN 5100, however the group has no recollection of ever having the PC at all.

Now hear's where I get confused...

In earlier episodes Okabe, Christina and Itaru discovered this phenomenon that traveling physically back in time turns human's into "jelly." But they find this info by looking at the Jellyman report/photo's when hacking into SERN and decoded the info using the IBN 5100.

So overall, my question is...

How do the lab members know of this Jelly phenomenon when this knowledge from the report can only be obtained with the IBN 5100 decoding capabilities????


Maybe she was reffering to gel-banana.
And in the VN they hacked SERN without using the IBN5100 so this could be an Adaptation Induced Plot Hole.

he doesn't discover everything that has changed before he sends a D-mail, at this point it will be impossible to tell where he is because he doesn't know what happened the previous step so can't know all that has changed this step... its a vicious cycle.

Dunno what Feyris nyan wrote in her D-mail, but as Akiba went into an old village state, and as we saw her father instead of a buttler, I guess it has something to do with her family wealth/ownership of the city...
That's why no more IBM er, IBN I mean.

This was really creepy, I had shivers down my spine at the end of the episode.

Gonna watch the next episode right now, even if it means less sleeping time :p

Great episode. Also, am I the only one who knows what Chaos Theory is without looking it up?


Nope. Its pretty much a must to understand what is going on and i bet majority of viewers have no idea that pretty much everything in the show is based on real science.



SO in case of those who have no idea:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_Effect
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_paradox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_black_hole
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionocraft


Thats for starters.


I knew about the Butterfly effect, CERN (well I'm French so I heard of it ^^), LHC and the black holes of Kerr.
But holy crap John Titor is for real ? Sometimes I wanted to check google/wikipedia for some terms, but I said to myself "no way this is for real". I just shat bricks right now lol

Thanks for the links.

Why would you ever let a d-mail be sent without knowing the contents, when you would have no way of ever finding out if the world line shifted -- like it did. Major lapse of judgment on Kyouma's part, and I'm quite interested to see how he'll handle this.

It's really weird seeing Akiba like that. xD

Also, why would Okabe allow Faris to send a D-mail without knowing what's inside? He already seen and experienced how the world is changed by a single D-mail.

Well the question that arose for me from this episode is that if they never had the old computer then why is the red haired girl even around. It would mean that she never got to see those document's proving the existence of time machines so i doubt she would have sticked around.

EDIT: The ending was bit iffy. To me it seemed that Okabe realizes how drastic it's to change thing's yet he doesn't check the message.

also:
"Just as planned, she fell for it! Now I can use her for all the grunt work!"

Is Okabe just nuts or is he really talking to someone on his phone...

Pretty interesting how they can send D-mails from anywhere, from any phone...

That made me lol too. And no he ain't talking to anyone, he is nuts xD.

The theory of what activates it seems to be the phone attached to the microwave. This needs to be fixed. Everything changed around him.

I understand now when everyone said that it takes a few episodes for the anime to establish itself. I liked the anime from the start but I'm currently getting electric vibes from it (is steins gate nearby?). I can't wait to see where it's heading because it supposedly only gets better from here.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Akihabara without the moe/anime culture.Truly a scary thought.

Lol'd at Kurisu talking to herself,spending so much time with Okarin is getting to her.

Liked what Okarin said to cheer her up when she was crying.And when he was talking on his phone about how she fell for his trap afterwards XD.

D-mails are getting out of hand.Too many changes due to the butterfly effect.

Okarin really should have seen Feris' message before she sent it.Considering how drastically just one message can change the world.

"It feels like Okarin is leaving me."

"It possible that we've already done something that can't be undone." The look on Okarin's face shows just how badly he screwed up.

Very good episode that dealt with the possible long term consequences of the d-mails altering the past that changed the present.

Okarin's phone conversation with Kurisu was funny.

I thought it was odd that Okabe wouldn't check what was in the message too, he definitely knows by now that even smaller things can have big consequences and if he had absolutely no idea what Feyris was sending, that's so risky!

But I'm not complaining lol I love this series! c: Kurisu as a 2channer is beautiful. I love all the incidental character development & relationships that occur around the main storyline!

Wow this episode was intense... Whatever Faris sent to the past, it was enough to get rid of the "moe" part of Akihabara and got renamed to Akiba.

Also it was hilarious when Okarin started kneeling as well when he decided to talk properly with Kurisu over the phone XD
