[Discussion] Steins;Gate Is Still Influencing Sci-Fi Anime 15 Years Later

  Am I the only one who thinks that Steins;Gate is overrated?

  Maybe it’s because I grew up reading science fiction and it’s always been my favorite genre, and time travel one of my favorite sub-genres, but I just found it to be sort of shallow and tedious. That and something that is unfortunately all too common in anime, unnecessarily bogged down with an intensely irritating MMC. I’ll give it credit for an interesting climax, but to me, it was too little too late.

    I’m on the opposite side. Most of the story makes sense in the science the show defines, and the main character is not your run of the mill standard ordinary high school boy. And it has enough twists to keep the show fun.

    That’s perfectly OK. As long as you don’t turn around and say your favourite anime is one piece or demon slayer or something…

    I am usually hyper-critical of any science-ey plot points in shows or movies. Steins;Gate is the only show that had minimal inaccuracies and plot holes. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 10/10 is the amount of fan service in the second season.

      minimal inaccuracies

      I (mostly) liked the show, but conflating the physical compression of a blackhole with data compression really grated on me.

    My mom and I have been trying to watch it and it’s just. Painful. The entire cast so far sucks and the MC is comically annoying and childish. My jaw dropped when my mom looked up his age and said he was 18, since he looks likes he’s in his mid 20s.

    Anyway if I can’t be bothered to like or give a damn about any of the characters, idk if I’ll ever see the “grand"” plot twist.

    You’re not the only one :) Tedious is a good descriptor, it just drags on and I didn’t care about the characters.
