> and why is it Okabe Rintarou
And also why is it no longer okabe after he became an edgelord in steins;gate 0
Cameron Morgan
>became an edgelord
Literally the exact oppsite happened you fucking speedreader
He started as an edgelord, turned into a bitch and the returned to being an edgelord. Read slower.
Gabriel Ramirez
Well, he's pretty good... but not the most likable.
Jaxon Thomas
Luffy at least for battle Shonen, there's no one watching one piece while disliking him. Most of the time he's even the best part of his own manga, he's like a well done Goku.
Chase Perry
Absolutely loved when he was on his own before the timeskip.
Carter Flores
It helps that the first episodes were mostly just him, so you either liked Luffy or didn't keep watching, pretty much like DB being Gokucentric at the beginning
Adrian Nguyen
come on, he's unique.
Adam Martinez
Sure, but Okabe's not all that attractive honestly.
Adam Davis
Mason Robinson
great picks. love oreki's autism, luffy is great character, and natsume is a nice boy.
Lucas Brown
He's not Gilgamesh attractive, but he's better looking than most anime leads. Compare him to 8man, Oreki and all these other "relatable" MCs.
Adrian Cruz
Gilgamesh? Really? That's your example of peak attractiveness? Ugh. No thanks. Archer is way sexier.

Cooper Cook
what anime?
John Rogers
lurk for 2 more years.
Adam Collins
Luis Morales
Ive been here for a couple years just didnt want to backtrace an image just to find some anime.
Caleb Nelson
Natsume's such a good kid.
Juan Brooks
Jayden Sanders
I mentioned it because Gil and Daru are voiced by the same seiyuu.
Jackson Edwards
No Contest
Jaxson Cruz
Not just cause he has the top of top tier waifus, but it definitely helps.
Ryder Ross
Okabe is shit.

"I'm such a Nerd" - the anime
Stein's gate panders hard to the half-wit masses idea of being a nerd, giving it a pass. Okabe barely has any character beyond "HAHAHA Look at me I'm a giant attention whore but it's ok cause I'm QUIRKY xD" and what little is there is just "I need to save my retard waifu written" so sloppily it makes Maeda look like Hemingway. All the other characters are just JRPG /q/uest givers and have almost no relevance to the plot. Their cheap characterizations reflect that, having nothing to them outside of their tropes.
For a show that like to spew a lot about /sci/ence, it's not very logical. Everything only works conveniently to neatly fit what the plot demands, further complications are completely ignored. The ending is an asspull that wasn't built up at all and it's never explained why Okabe has the reading steiner despite that being the most important thing to making him work as a protagnoist. The romance is completely forced and feels like it only happened because he's the mc logic so of course the girl who has it all and should have a horde of guys prodding at her has to end up with him. Got to to fulfill that fantasy.

No user. This is wrong. They are generic harem dating sim characters. Steins;gate is a crypto-dateing sim and isekai
Luke Torres

Not even trying are you?
Henry Lopez
The only answer is Juicy Yuuji.
Jackson Ross
I literally debated you on this exact post a couple of months ago and reduced you to shitposts. Why are you crawling back?
Gabriel Fisher
But "he" isn't one person.
Gabriel Butler
Yea Forums in 2019, everyone.

Fuck yeah, Kraft never gets the respect he deserves around here.

Before we start, what you are looking at pic related is the face of an ill, psychopathic potential murderer kid, we can start then, i will say that if you expected one piece.tier plot, villains or writing out of this series, you are retarded, HxH is the most redpilled shounen in existence.
>abandoned by his father as a child and told lies from his aunt
>playground was a forest full of savage animals and shits
>indued or raped by pirate girls
>at the first arc of the story he is 12 year old and has no problems with seeing people kill each other, he doesn't care, indifferent to death and murdering
>he becomes best friends with a hitman kid and has no problems with it he doesn't care, still indifferent to murdering
>he cares about helping his mentally unstable friend to kill all the guys who killed his entire tribe, this same friend is the one who joined a mafia that deals with killing, drugs, weapons and other horrible things like human trafficking just to satiate his revenge, our MC doesn't care anyway, he wants to help him even
>he asks one of the "bad guys" why does he kill
>if his "friends" kill its okay
>Hisoka being a murderer and a pedo that kills because he is a thirsty motherfucker recognizes in Gon the potential of becoming as twisted as him, a fucking psycho.
>willing to kill an innocent girl just to kill someone to satisfy his revenge, not even Kurapika thinks about doing this
>takes innocent girl hostage as well

>just didnt want to backtrace an image just to find some anime.
Then continue lurking until you're a big grown-up boy who is able to do so.
Ayden Morales
cool story bro
Ayden Davis
Not sure if this is supposed to be pasta but I agree. The characterization is S;G is cheap garbage covered over by a heap of dumb memes generated by every major character in the story.
I've watched a half dozen stories with timeloops by the time I watched Steins;Gate and the show doesn't do anything interesting with it from a narrative point of view, the story structure of the timeloop is as derivative as it gets.
Grayson Thomas
Spamming/flooding.
Isaac Diaz
Leo Stewart
For me it's Kaiji but Okabe is also one of my favourites
Jayden Mitchell
Nah.
Leo Ramirez
>8man, Oreki and all these other "relatable" MCs.
I mean, they are all designed so that losers could self-insert into them, that's all their characters really are.
Matthew Peterson
Without a doubt.
Parker Hernandez
That is a whole lot of edge, and not in the good way either.
Christian Thompson
there is good edge?
Cameron King
Ethan Harris
>makes a post that is literally nothing but hurr durr i suck my own cock
>calls other posts shitposts
Sasuga Stein's;Gate retards.
Chase Hill
In my opinion yes. I won't name specific anime because that will lead to shitposting but edge can do a few meaningful things for a story. It can set a tone for the narrative, create situations for characterization/character development (especially negative character development, which can be really good), and help forward the themes of a story, as in what that story is trying to say to the watcher. That kind of thing.
Edge is only truly bad when it has no point to it, when it sticks out from the rest of the narrative and is just visceral to provoke some reaction, like in our so beloved VN pictured above.
Zachary Gomez
Aaron Sanders
Not even the best SciADV protagonist
Samuel Roberts
This. Even though I'm a huge Steins;Gate fan, I have to admit that Chaos;Child had a better MC. I also think it had a better supporting cast and story too.
Evan Butler
In universe Okabe is supposed to be really handsome and attractive, the art is just inconsistent in the VN regarding him.
Nicholas Foster
What's wrong with it?
Alexander Rogers
Really? Source?
Jackson Sanders
He gets called handsome multiple times.
youtu.be
Jonathan Edwards
In the VN there is a scene where Okabe implies they haven't showered in days. He comments on how sweaty the lab mems are and how the lab was starting to stink.
Blake Sanchez
Huh, thanks user, looks like i will be checking the VN soon, is it good?
Jayden Green
It's one of the most popular and beloved VN for a reason user. It's very good. Almost everytime I see a complaint about it, it's obvious that the person either hasn't seen the anime or played the VN at all, or stopped after barely getting into it.
Also, handsome Okabe from the manga
Isaac Garcia
Thanks for the info user.
Jack Rodriguez
Okabe is my #1 but Yugami is pretty up there as well.
Cameron Williams
I recently watched this because so many anons speak highly of it, but after watching both seasons I walked away feeling nothing much about it. the character development on both larry and holo's part is really lacking, which is crucial for this sort of character driven anime. also, I don't know how so many anons are head over heels for holo, some of the time she is downright abusive towards lawrence (which I guess is a trope, one I never enjoyed however).
Asher Walker
My nigga
Dylan Clark
He is a bland character. Also forced drama for low iq brainlets.
Tyler Reyes
Hyouka.
Jonathan Morales
He was truly based.
Robert Watson
Okabe is one of my favorite protags but I also really enjoy this scientist
