Steins;Gate, the true masterpiece of 2011 time series with two lines and two cycles! After 12 episodes, the plot began to run wild, revealing the foreshadowings one by one. After experiencing countless painful reincarnations, countless desperate and stubborn struggles, and accompanied by huge sacrifices, Fengzhen finally saved the love of his life, and at the same time saved the world, feelings, fetters, also in time and space. The stars gradually condensed and sublimated, and the lovers finally became dependents, and the masterpiece came to an end in the last affectionate kiss.
The plot design of Gang Lun's rescue of Mayuri in the α line is exactly the same as that of the magic circle's Akira Meiyan saving Madoka in the same year. The performance of both works in terms of time reincarnation is very good, but I still think Stone Gate is better. If I were to rate it, I would give Magic Circle 9.3 and Stone Gate 9.7~
Magical Girl Madoka is a double-ring plot with a big ring and a small ring. The new ring (big ring) formed by Madoka's final wish, plus the small ring that Xiaomeiyan's infinite reincarnation saves Miaoyuan in front of it, realizes the double ring (of course. There is also the old ring replaced by the new ring, the ring of the magic girl and the witch), the magic circle is unquestionably excellent in this regard (although Madoka's final wish always feels a bit "cheating" haha). The plot is first depressed and then cured (although I think it is more depressed), the characters are poker, and the painting style is gothic. It will be uncomfortable to watch for a long time, and the whole drama is almost uninteresting, so it will also be sleepy after watching it for a long time. Really bad experience.
Stone Gate is a two-line, double-loop plot. Gang Lun sent a D-mail to cross the world line to the α line after seeing the death of Hong Lixi on the β line. Set, and finally sacrifice the memory of the alpha line (in fact, there is no, these memories deepen the bond in the beta line in the form of a dream) cross the world line again to the beta line, kill Kurisu by mistake and complete the old beta line and then cross it, perfect After designing the false murder scene, it perfectly completed the rescue of Kurisu and the world, and opened a peaceful and new new beta line (ie SG line). A careful analysis will find that the stone gates are perfectly spliced in all aspects. The real killing of Hong Lixi is to complete the old beta line, because the clues from the future self, the time machine and Suzuha are all from the old beta line, fake killing. Of course, Kurisu saves the world and forms a new beta line to save Kurisu. The double line is the α and β lines, and the double loop is the big loop that crosses the world line from when he sees Kurisu being killed to "killing" Kurisu and the small loop that tries to save Mayuri countless times in the alpha line (By the way, the plot of the alpha line's stacking and pushing the world line is simply awesome). Perhaps the ambush in the early stage of the plot is relatively bland, but the exchange is explosive in the later stage, and the various chemical reactions that occur from time to time in the middle two youth + "perverted" genius girl + two-dimensional hacker fat house have indeed added a lot of interest to the work. Sex, people will not feel bored and sleepy on the way to chasing.
Although Stone Gate is a sci-fi theme, the most powerful thing is its world view and plot design, but after reading it, it still gives people a sense of heaviness. I really admire it, maybe, this is a masterpiece~
Note: The above is my personal impression, maybe it is limited by the viewing mode, there are many biases, please detour if you don't like it~
