the fact that he realizes now, and not at the very end, that kurisu is going to die brings me some hope.. i really like mr braun now, too

Wait, but didn't Okarin experience that steins reader thing when he was sick way back when he was a child? Does this mean that the world line already was changed since then?

That was just his theory as to why he experienced reading steiner, yet nobody else did. As to whether or not the world line changed back then, who knows, and who cares. If you send a d-mail far enough back in time of course it'll change stuff (butterfly effect, etc). The thing is, you don't necessarily know what it'll change, as the first half of the series proved. So sending one back to that time would be dumb. We also don't know if he even had a cellphone back then. And finally, what would he even send? "Don't get sick"?

So for all intents and purposes, I think it was just an explanation of no significance.

I'm not saying that Okarin changed the world line by being sick, but that someone else did since his reading steiner activated. So if Okarin was born with the reading steiner, and it activated when he coincidentally happened to be sick, then that means that someone else somehow changed the worldline who wasn't Okarin when Okarin was sick. Of course, whatever changed changed the world line, but it means that the world line in which Kurisu gets killed isn't the beta or original world line or whatever. So if Okarin stops the world line from changing that time back when he was a kid, then the entire future would change and perhaps Kurisu would not be killed, but Okarin probably wouldn't know her anyways.

I think the rationale there was merely that Okabe's sickness caused him to obtain the reading steiner ability and that it's dubious in that the past was not actually changed in any way at that time; he merely obtained the ability back then as a "result" of the sickness

Oh, ok. That clears things up.

Well, CERN has been doing time travelling experiments for some time before Okabe. Remember all those people that became "jellymen." It's quite plausible that during one of these experiments, Okabe's Reading Steiner activated and that's all there is to it. Like Spazer said, I don't think it's anything important.

Maybe sending one of those jelly person to the past caused a disruption with the time line? O.o

I am saying this because mecha are usually really action pack and this anime lack that. It just show Lambda mode imba-ness and reflect stuff which still doesnt make physical sense.

What I am mainly complaining about is the action. Such as when they fought that big red robot with the lambda mode destroying the town. He got shot once in the groin and that was it. Or when Gouren and the main guy fought in the forest for the first time and they "killed" him then. All you saw with them lambda mode and ramming into each other. It was really quiet sad. Or when the American team and the main character tried to assasinate Gouren and they got owned by the Red AS and Gouren. Gouren just reflect stuff back and kill people and they didnt even care to show the Red AS guy fight.....

The only fight that was semi interesting was when Gouren first fought against that blonde guy and that was when Lambda first made it appearances and the other would be the Captain Tessa vs Mao in a bet.....those were the only fight that was actually strategical and interesting.

What I am asking is is that where are the knife fight eh? They have knife, they should atleast have a more choreographed fight or something. Or atleast show some more interesting battles. Is the series ever going to show more better choreographed fight? I love the comedy and the character developement but this is starting to disappoint me as mecha anime.

I agree with you I thought it was ok the battles were eh... and action not much. I haven't watched it yet but I heard that the other 2 seasons (fumoffu and second raid) are much better. at least Second Raid as fumoffu is comedy. i'm sure somebody can confirm that here
