Chaos;Head was a colossal failure, and S;G involves a lot of scientific dialog, so...

Cynical about adapting it into an anime. I think past examples of adapting things like Steins;Gate haven't gone well, or something.

Southlight 3:38 pm lol i swear to god i'm like drawn to that BLBL game just because its premise so funny what the fuck lol
Ecael 3:38 pm lol traps dominating
Southlight 3:38 pm GAME STARTS WITH MC ALREADY IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH TRAP HOW IS THAT NOT HILARIOUS lolololol
Ecael 3:40 pm watch trap is default route too
Southlight 3:40 pm lmao wouldn't it be? cuz he's already going out with the trap? the osananajimi (main?) route involves her NTRing him in fact they ALL involve NTRing him
Ecael 3:40 pm hahahaha
Southlight 3:40 pm that is batshit hilarious

Somehow the prospect of 24ep Steins;Gate feels like it'll go really bad. Like, they might actually go into other routes to fill in the amount of plot they need.

Ecael 3:47 pm with steins;gate I wonder how many other routes they'll try to cover Mayushi route quite good for Kurisu and true end in general trap sells nekomimi maid will probably sell too
Southlight 3:50 pm nyannnyann? nyannnyannsells? nyannnyann♪?

Steins;Gate looks promising, however if you go in with too high hopes you will most likely be disappointed. If you go into it thinking it will be *decent* and then it proves to be better you'll be 100x happier. It's all about perspective.
|
As much as I too am looking forward to Steins;Gate, the majority of animated adaptations of Visual Novels, historically speaking, have proven to be anywhere from midly disappointing to simply terrible.
I'm not quoting Chaos;Head as the sole example to take into consideration in this perspective either, Fortune Arterial would like to say "what's up" as well (I can't recall any other examples presently, even though I am fully aware that other examples of disappointing adaptations DO exist).
Nonetheless, I still possess interest in this series. I still enjoyed Chaos;Head for the most part, can any VN-advocates state a fair objective comparison between the two to help establish standards?

FA was (IMO) a terrible VN to begin with, and is more comparable to like the anime adaptation of Shuffle->Anime, or like Yosuganosora->Anime, both of which weren't terrible but the original work was not particularly great either.
C;H had issues in its movement due to it being 1) reliant on a psychotic main character and 2) being psychological horror, which even in live action movies is extremely hit or miss.
The main character of S;G is somewhat psychotic (not remotely close to C;G though) and has a LOT of scientific dialog, this puts it more on the level of say, Kara no Kyoukai, except even KnK, a relatively acclaimed animation port, actively removed the philosophical portions. Color me not optimistic.

Alright I was hoping this would be the thread to come to in search of more animes that I would like to watch. Ive only recently gotten into watching anime, but I have defiantly liked some of the ones I have watched, while disliking others. Death Note, Black Cat, Blood +, Code Geass, Darker than Black, Elfen Lied, Eureka Seven, Gantz, Requeim for a Phantom, Tokko, and Samurai Champloo are all animes that I have watched and just thought were awesome. I was kind of hoping that someone could give me some recommendations based on this list of animes that I watched and enjoyed.

Call me weird or retarded but I actually really enjoyed FA overall EXCEPT for its conclusion (which in retrospect I should have seen coming). In terms of overall execution, I thought it was really well-done when compared to a lot of other harem-genre series/adaptations.

Can't even Google Translate it because it's all pictures, but at least the art is nice. T_T Mechs + Show Spoiler +I fail so hard at this. Haven't seen enough mecha shows.
Some zaku variant? A normal zaku Gurren (I think? Been a long time since I watched Code Geass) Norikoooooooooo Kshatriya. Kinda hard to mistake that for anything else. Feito Testarossa Harlaown Freedom? IIRC, Strike Freedom doesn't have hip railguns. Is that some Cagalli? The original gundam. Not sure wtf its name is though. Some golden thing which I can only assume is from Gaogaigar.
+ Show Spoiler +I assume "Zaku varient" is the green one that isn't the normal Zaku and Kshatriya, right? Its a Tieren Ground Type, which was the Zaku of Gundam 00/Russian Mobile Suit. Zaku [II] is right Gurren [Mk2] is right. Norikoooooooooooo Kshatriya is right. Feito is right, but its actually Testarossa since the adult version figure is insane expensive Freedom is right Cagalli is right Original Gundam is right (RX-78-2, lawl) I probably need to redo the shelf with the Golden one, but thats actually the Akatsuki Gundam from Gundam SEED. Its kinda being blocked so you can't see it that well. You watched Gundam SEED, so you should be able to name at LEAST one more. You have seen Gundam 00, and I have 3 g00 kits, so you could probably get them too if you thought about it (although technically one is a design that wasn't in the show). Oh damn, that's actually Akatsuki? It showed up for like all of two episodes, so I was like nah, that can't be it. It's like the only solid gold suit I know of. Imba suit (although apparently Cagalli can't pilot worth a damn <_<). Random solid sword on a gundam looking mech. I guess that's Exia. <_< I seriously have no clue about the rest. Exia Avalanche. Its a design that wasn't in the show. Its basically the Exia with alot of armor on it, making it look lots cooler. The other Gundam 00 mech is Graham's Flag, aka the American mobile suit. Its the black one. I'm surprised you weren't able to name the Strike (Aile Strike to be specific) from Gundam SEED  Aile Strike was like the second most important Gundam in SEED, aside from Freedom. Oh lol, that's Aile Strike? The only one I could name with regularity was Launcher Strike.
