Basically this episode is mainly about looking for IBN 5100... which fortunately succeeded!!!

First..
Okarin (to Mayuri) said:
Daru is just like the universe -- continually expanding.

and then..
Okarin (to Kurisu) said:
Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
XDDDDDD

It makes me chuckle all the references to... well, let's just say that it makes so much sense. Remember we are watching a time travel anime, jeje.

Okarin and Kurisu are so damn funny together. They found the IBN 5100 very fast.

'The universe is like Daru - infinitely expanding' LMAO

4/5

Ignorance is bliss indeed Okabe... I wonder how Kurisu will react to the fact that Ruka is a guy!

According to the Wikipedia, IBM 5100 IBN 5100 is about 24 kg. And the way that Kurisu and Okabe carry that PC is very inconvenient and dangerous, imagine dropping that $8,975-$19,975 PC. Aside from that, I see a potential ship starting to sail for them both! The way they bicker to each other make it seem like they're both tsunderes.

Looks like John I dont' remember his last name guy brought IBN 5100 to that man.
I really liked the anime so far and not bored even though I didn't reach to eps 8. Looks like it deserves the reputation it has.

I agree with you. I never understood people who were bored by the first half of thevshow and claiming that nothing happens.
Yes, it is slow, sice this kind of show has to be slow in the beginning, to properly build its characters and its story. And MANY significant things happen in the first half, but we are not aware of it yet (making the rewatch value extremely high)

Yep, definetely. As it is obvious that this series has a complicated plot, the first episodes should be slow in order to make the show ready for the more dramatic incidents. I personally will not like the series if it immidiately jumps into action. I think they did a pretty good job, it is definetely not boring.

Christina is kinda annoying tbh, it's tiring to see her on screen. I'm glad Okabe found IBN 5100! Thought it would take longer to find...

I'm getting more and more annoyed by this series with every passing episode, to be honest.


The characters are irritating, the comedy is lame (these two go hand-in-hand), the 'mystery' is weak with very little agency, and it's so damn meandering in every sense of the word.

I have no idea where the praise for this show has come from. It better have an amazing revelation or plot twist, otherwise this will have just been a huge waste of time.

Every favorite thing of mine has won me over, even if I don't understand EVERYTHING yet, by this point, so I'm seriously having my doubts now.
The more I read of everyone else's love of it only makes me more worried. If THIS is the appealing part already, yikes.

2/5 episode.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.

Man I love this! Especially the interactions between Makise and Oka—I mean Hououin Kyouma!

Also Makise had problems with her father? Maybe her dad is John Titor which would (maybe) explain her reaction to Kyouma’s time machine?

Nonetheless a very funny episode; I’m really loving Okarin’s personality!

Somewhat enjoying the story so far, I have a feeling it will get better tho which is why I’m sticking with it. But for me, quite a slow and mediocre start.

Yeah that's normal, almost everyone agrees that Steins;Gate has a slow start but trust me, it does get better later on. I also didn't liked the beginning that much the first time I've watched it but after it got better later on it actually became my favorite anime and I've been watching animes for a long time.

For now enjoy the ride, the beginning is just the buildup, once the buildup is completed then you will be watching a completely different anime because it changes drastically after a "certain episode" later.

The interactions between Rintaro and Makise are the best.
They found the IBN 5100 which can be used to decipher special programmes like SERN.
What Ruka's father said was interesting. A person from 10 years ago said that a young men would come for the PC? Could that be Mikase's father or the Old Rin?

So many questions..

I thought the ep was good
I think the protagonist is a bit crazy, but he has his charm

kurisu's father plots seem to show potential and I expect good things

and I also expect the same thing from the central plot, the malefic organization

and even one of my favorite characters returned, which is luka

and I loved to see him and kurisu praising each other, better not even say the good news for her lol

1. I didn't know laundry shops can get so intriguing.
2. Lol Mayuri thinks 5100 is the price of the old device.
3. Also, that "G-Back" bit was clever. Explanation: 自爆 / jibaku / self-destruction.
4. Kurisu is really looking into IBN5100. Well at least she's back. (pun not intended ;))
5. And at least it's not another cliffhanger, lol.

great episode, Kurisu and Rintarou found the IBN 5100, the key to decoding the mysterious program. I hope Kurisu and Rintarou start to get along later on. I am curious to learn about Kurisu's father and why she doesn't want to believe in time machines, this is really interesting. The part where Rintarou lost to Feyris in Rai-Net Battles was pretty funny, I am enjoying this series and I already love Kurisu.

none of this makes any sense to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i am actually bored watching it
(okabe is also kind of annoying with his random mad scientist laughs and yelling and being generally a very weird guy. all of the characters are kind of annoying. except makise i suppose, early candidate for my favourite character)
the big "twist" in the plot better be good because i'm struggling here. but it's somewhat a shame that i have to power through however many episodes of boredom before the show gets 'good'

The big "twist" is indeed good, patience is a virtue, just keep watching it and the payoff will be worth it but I guess I should tell you where the big "twist" happens before you drop it because some people did drop this anime early on which is a shame.

The big twist happens in the episode:

Why are people commenting about being too dumb to follow the complex plot or whatever? The show clearly hasn't given enough information for first time viewers to piece anything significant together. This is a pretty slow burn to start it seems.

This episode was a nice uptick. Carrying over from the intense end of episode 3 really shows the mood it can create and I imagine will show up more often when the show actually starts answering questions.

I also liked the maid cafe stuff. Its funny that 2011 feels like an older world at this point but the days when creepy dorks actually had to leave the house to fawn over their dumb local maid girl feels oddly quaint.

I also love Mayushii's voice.
