Another "magic"

The first work that felt a huge difference between itself and the public's taste. I won't feel so bad after just watching one episode, and I won't even rate it, but after watching the rave reviews, I forced myself to watch more than a dozen episodes, and I was disgusted by the results. It was like eating very unappetizing food. The same, I skipped to the last few episodes and watched it, and finally I could accept it. I thought how good it would be if I could have done the last few episodes earlier. I really like the theme song, from the lyrics to the music, but like the last few episodes, it didn't pull the look back. Let's talk about the disgusting point: the pace of the plot is slow and chaotic, and the characters are inexplicably absent. It doesn't matter if the microwave oven can pass through the phone (after all, many science fiction works are like this, the starting point is a phenomenon or invention that seems to be bizarre, and then deduce the description based on it), the plot surrounding it is extremely detached from reality and makes me Uncomfortable: In the first episode, a microwave telephone that can pass through appears. This is an invention that can have a huge impact and shock the world. There is no plot progress in the episode; Fierce really doesn’t speak human words or do human affairs. It’s more like a lunatic than a middle-two disease. The key is that nowhere can it be seen that this lunatic can invent a time-travelling machine; his assistant is a physicist ( Or a doctor of physics?) Without her own ideas and professional qualities, she runs around with Xiezhen all day long and does not do her right job. Does she have no curiosity to explore why she can travel through and what is the physical principle behind it? Hadn't she heard of the butterfly effect, grandfather paradox, etc., and didn't understand the potential risks of misusing devices? The rest of the characters are the same, they all revolve around the protagonist alone, and everything depends on the protagonist.

Steins;Gate quotes

  • Kurisu Makise: It feels like time is passing so quickly. Damn you, Einstein! Your science is crowding in on our kiss! He was right. The passage of time depends entirely on where you're standing. Relativity Theory... it's so romantic. But it's just so tragic too.

  • Suzuha Amane: Everyone gets help from someone else at some point in their lives. So someday, you should help someone too.
