    The second time you taunt us with your coat theory XD
    Really nice review Ark, thanks.

    Okay, that’s not why they made more than one “Back to the Future” movie. It was a standalone movie about meeting your parents when they’re teenagers. Bob and Bob never wanted to do a sequel, but Universal told them that they had to do a sequel or they would get someone else to do it. But, I get your point.

    Excellent. I’m going to have to stop just listening to the opening and actually watch through this. Then I’ll get to Bartender

    By the way, I think we all know who would be the perfect voice for Okabe. I’ll give you one guess.

    Yeah, a time travelling is one of the most hard to a writer genre. It is always comes to the point why there is not crowd of time travellers from all the eternity that is lays ahead.

    It started out well, going from good to great to excellent. The concept was handled well, and the characters were great fun to watch. Unfortunately, it hits its peak around episode 12. At that point the plot goes in a whole new direction that kept me on the edge of my seat for about 5 episodes. Then I hit a point where I realized I no longer cared about the story’s conclusion. The quality had declined without me even realizing, the established time travel theory got a major hole put in it, and the series had become almost formulatic. I’d say it’s worth the watch for the first half of the show, but not additional viewings.

    Time travel by microwave oven, wonderful, I can not wait to see this anime. Great review I really enjoyed it. :D

    I watched this on your recommendation, and I am extremely happy I did so. One of my all time favourite pieces of media of any type, I actually watched it all in one massive sitting and didnt sleep the whole night to finish it, and totally worth it. I have to disagree about the opening though, I honestly thought it was one of the most entertaining parts of the whole series. I thought the slowest part was the middle area. I will say though, it takes a serious turn for the sinister around the end of the first third. And one last thing worthy of special mention I think is how deep the connections to the real John Titor are. I started researching him and it amazed me, they really did their research. I wont say more due to spoilers. If anyone wasnt sure if they wanted to watch, allow me to add my fullest recommendation to Ark’s great review.
