12:46 Seki and also the most flamboyantly les
12:46 Seki but she graduates in like the first 5 vols
12:46 Seki and so it's like ggnore
12:47 Seki which sucks esp in the anime cuz you get teased with this toyoguchi megumi x notou mamiko yuri for a bit
12:47 Seki then she's gone
12:47 Seki so it's like WAT
12:47 Seki BUT TAHT WAS AWESOME

Technically the one that you see in All Around Type-Moon is not Kohaku since she came from some different dimension as Magical Amber.

MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME HOLY CRAP ARBLGARBLGARBLBLARBL
sometimes it really pisses me off though lol Time travel is one of those plot devices that only pisses you off if you think about it. Time travel is one of the devices that makes it good! I just don't like how + Show Spoiler +each time they jump time lines, it seems to go through a whole new process all over again of okabe going "wh--what?! impossible...what....what happened? D: D: D:" and the series attempts to provide comic relief in the form of him somehow getting screwed over by the jump -___-
I'm just starting 11, though, so I'm sure that this won't happen that often. Which is why I say "if you think about it". As a device, there are way too many loopholes in time traveling. Not even counting the vague nature of the concept, the amount of ways time travel in fiction could be executed is just way too diverse. In the end, it is simply one of those things where you work to put up with the author's telling and usage of the device with nothing interesting in itself. As for Okabe's confusion, well, time leap is like that in s;g. Yeah, fair enough. Should have realized that was your point...whoopsies. I still like the idea in general, though. :> Well, the idea is ok, there are just a lot of potential pitfalls within the idea. Kind of makes the whole thing boil down to the skill of the author to make you not think.
Right, I understand. The idea will always have plot holes and incontinuities, even if the author adopts a specific stance on time travel in order to reduce some of the plot holes.

Or you can have something like Robert Heinlein's All You Zombies. Biggest timetravel mindfuck ever, and personally the golden standard of time travel stories.

Because rather than evading the issue with narration, it points out the issues with the concept then leave you to reflect on the one last issue it did not address.
...but where did all you zombies come from?

Dang, lol. Seems to be based specifically on paradoxes...and also written in a single day. What a boss. And lampshanded ending, dundundun.

Bear in mind that I raged a bit about how S;G ends, and how its plot is generally structured. Don't get your hopes TOO high up because it's not something I even rated THAT highly. It was good, not great.

Quoted for truth.
Also, does S;G only have one ending or something? I'm not 100% sure as to how VN endings translate to animes, but I thought that they either choose one of the endings or take the overall gist/characters/plot and go in a new direction?

To be honest, I've actually been worrying about how they'll end it. Although it's been pretty amazing, I wouldn't be that surprised if it had a disappointing ending.
+ Show Spoiler [Iroha 18] + yay a Nakochi episode! Based off that first scene, she would make such a great wife  She's so adorable when she reacts to the word change, even though her quiet voice and shyness is what makes her so cute hehe.

Different VNs do different things; many abuse the presentation medium and go for an "everything was built up for this one moment" sort of set, more typical dating sim type VNs go for the "there's a different ending for different girls" route, etc.
S;G ran with the detour system, in which there is one clear ending, and the other "routes" are simple deviations (branches, so to speak), sort of like the bad ends in many VNs. And really, for the most part every single ending except for the final one is a bad end in S;G. For instance
+ Show Spoiler [suzuha end] +takes place during the point where he's deciding whether to send the d-mail to himself to prevent himself from stopping her - for suzuha's end he decides to do neither and try to find an alternate choice, locking them all into a loop world as he tries to figure something out, and he eventually goes insane from the torment of looping happiness while trying to figure out how to save everyone

Is the suzuha end safe to read if I'm only aware of the anime and am currently in the middle of ep 13?
And thanks, that makes more sense. It's sort of like the old "choose your adventure books" in that all of the endings lead to your death except for the final ending, right (though some of those books had multiple final endings too, I think, and the line between true/false endings was somewhat blurred).
+ Show Spoiler +btw it's really annoying that about 1/3 of the way through--which is where I am right now--he just tells everyone to JUST GO BLAH and doesn't try to explain anything.....again.....though there are time constraints, he really should have told them....
thank you kurisu for calling him and settling this -_-

If you've through Suzuha's story you can click the spoiler. I have no idea what episodes that was dealt with cuz I'm not watching.

I'll just leave it unread, just in case. Thanks, though.
