Steins; Gate episode 7 reaction.

Let's put it this way : Causality doesn't have to be respected alongside a single world line.

Violet Evergarden is such a beautiful anime! You will definitely gonna cry in the last few episodes. For me it was the best anime of 2018. Sadly 6 animator who worked on violet evergarden passed away last month in the arson incident at kyoto animations :(

Why is it that sometimes his friends remember sending the messages like with their other trials, but this time they didn’t? Is it because the previous times they were just silly messages that didn’t hugely affect the timeline?

Let's say WORLDLINE 1, you woke up late for school one morning at 10:30am because you forgot to set your alarm before falling asleep last night. To prevent yourself from being late you send a message to the past telling yourself to remember to set your alarm. The message is sent and the worldline shifts. Now it's on this completely new worldline WORLDLINE 2 that you received the message. The way the events go now is you wake up on time and make it to school which starts at 8:30. Now if you were Okabe, after you sent that message you would have suddenly found yourself in class and the time is 10:30am. You retain your memories of the previous worldline but nobody else does because the events they experienced on this new worldline are different from you. The message was sent FROM worldline 1, but is RECEIVED on worldline 2. So the WORLDLINE 2 version of you who woke up and made it to school on time is overwritten by the WORLDLINE 1 version who woke up late and sent the message at 10:30am. That is how this is working so far.

The message was sent into a new worldline that is why he receives it but it appears that he never sent one. Whenever you change the past the worldline will change. It's a way of preventing paradoxes. If you are gonna change the past with a message that will affect you ever sending that message in the first place there's no way it can happen. But because of the way worldlines are constructed, the message is sent into a brand new worldline almost identical to the original except now a message mysteriously appeared in Okabe's phone a week ago. They're two different worldlines. That is how the message can exist without the event of it being sent taking place. I hope I'm making sense LOL

I never noticed anything wrong with Nae's voice. I understand your criticism on Kurisu's voice though. Her japanese actress just has that serious edge to her voice that fits her cold logical personality. Her dub voice sounds different and more emotional which takes away the important characteristic, but somehow it still fits Kurisu. Essentially the difference in their tones is the Jap presents her pride in being so knowledgeable, her passion for science and a playful side when having complex scientific debates. The English presents a know it all smug attitude, which fits because it almost mirrors Okabe's mad scientist persona.

I love how into the opening you are lol Steins;gate has a fantastic OST, from the games to the anime, all of it is great. Welcome back!

Not to sound like a hater but one thing I Really dislike about the dubs is that they make brauns daughter sound like a teenager, and kurisu sounds like a stuck up bitch. In the jap version, they sound way better. Kurisu sounds like a cute tsundere and Braun’s daughter has a cute child like voice. Great reaction overall! Theyll explain everything you had questions about soon !
