I am doing my job, then (Yuuko Reppin').
Also, "CHAN-MIO" is amazing, so you're doing right to grin when thinking of it!
Which?

Yeah man who wants to watch little girls change clothes and put on makeup.
It's all about the old ladies.
Indeed.
Killing dreams since 2011.
Why weren't there two Okabe's when Okabe traveled to the Steins;Gate world-line through the time machine?

Two physical Okabe's? The ending ended with him talking to Kurisu, it didn't show the second one.

He's pretty clearly some kind of
reincarnation of Apollo.
There were. Him
fooling his previous self into believing that Kurisu was lying in a pool of her own blood is what him going back in time was all about. Also, remember in the first ep where Kurisu was confused, saying that she had just spoken to him though he didn't know her at all at the time.
Winter 2012 rankings:
1. Aquarion Evol*
2. Daily Lives
3. Ano Natsu
*(haven't watched more than four episodes of any show**)
**watched six of nichibros
Definitely one of the best moments in the show.

One of the few best.
Ah, i'm not talking about that. I mean after he's traveled to the Steins;Gate world-line there should technically be two Okabe's because he was using a time machine and not Reading-Steiner'ing himself into the Steins;Gate Okabe.
Nah, so far he's really just a walking plot device who does nothing but yell "Grrr smelly wenches!".

Okabe never travels from one universe to the other through either the text messages to himself in the past or in the time machine. He travels backwards repeatedly in the same universe, which then changes based on what he has changed. The Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that infinite universes diverge from the same point, what Okabe was doing was traveling back to the same point again and again and trying to travel forward along another divergence. He sees himself when he travels backwards, but once he returns forward he is the only Okabe in the universe, because the other one he saw is actually himself doing what he has already done.

Brave 10 - 12 (end)
6 / 10. Anime actually had really cool moments and characters (Saizo, Sasuke, Kamanosuke) and some fun fight scenes and character interactions. Plot could have used work but I guess that is a flaw of the source material. One of the music tracks was overplayed way too much that really diluted the fun of many of the fight scenes. Out of fight scenes were occasionally funny and dramatic, like Saizo Kamanosuke antics never got old or failed to get a chuckle, scenes with Sasuke too. Ultimately I enjoyed it, may decide to buy it.
On ep 12.

How do they end with that, its like this whole season didnt matter and that we need to wait for some war. I kind of hope the anime returns because Id be intrigued. Fight scenes were great with everyone feeling inspired by believing in others and themselves, and post credit dialogue was awesome and so memorable, everyone's interactions
You're only watching it for Isanami. admit it.
Ah, the machine Kurisu
made for him to travel with you mean? That wasn't sending him physically, but sending his 'consciousness' back, if you can believe it. That was actually what I found so impressive with the narrative. While not being lain out in layman's phrasing, it was openly used in the same way him repeatedly 'killing' Mayuri was: showing that he had long snapped, and was, by trying to patch everything together with his reading-steiner, actually making everyone else, who didn't have one, experience hell over and over again. We don't really know what happen to the Okabe's of the previous line, as we were only following his exact consciousness' point on the line. He could have been leaving Kurusi with a brain-dead Husbando each time for all the show gave. From what I gather, them showing that everyone remembered fragments wasn't just for feel good as much as it was to show the weight behind Okabe's repeated actions and drive the point home. The VN may say more. I've held off from playing, for now. When he used Suzuha's machine there were two Okabe's.

Ah, too many Steins;Gate spoilers! D: *bails out*
Kamanosuke is the only redeeming thing about Brave 10 other than Isanami. She is one batshit insane mofo.
Dude is awesome.
He also plays Shogi. All shogi manga suck, its some kind of law.
It's a man's sport, an emulation of war, the Eastern version of Chess, altogether a noble sport that shames such womanly hobbies like karuta or Starcraft.
Igo is the best sport with the best adaptation.
I bet his current homoerotic student council manga would be a hit with the fujoshi.
Its different enough that I couldn't pick up how to play it just by looking at other people play.
Its a semi-spoiler but not by much unless you're really anal about this stuff. The anime never gets into it, so you're free to ignore it as alternate reality.
I can play Chinese Chess, I can't play Shogi.

And the mindfucks keep rolling in. People should now understand that massive spoiler in both OPs.

Wait, so he was transforming his own universe to a different world-line every time he send a d-mail/when he travelled back in time? I was under the impression that he traveled to a different universe (which in turn, was part of a different world-line). Well, that changes everything.
If they were staying true to the MWI, though, wouldn't he be part of a different universe every-time the world-line changed, because of the fact that each universe's wave-function is different and cannot be changed? [Though, I think Steins;Gate uses it's own version of the MWI]

Yeah, see, that's what's confusing.
The fact that we don't really ever find out what happens to the remains of Okabe when he uses Reading Steiner raises questions as to how the plot's many world's interpretation actually works.
We really should play Go. Its got a popular anime and all so I would think most of us have some basic knowledge of it.
Barring that, karuta! I can clean up as long as duckroll doesn't play.

thanks guys... i'll keep lurking this thread hoping to find a replacement.
No,
he was definitely only switching threads each time, not erasing the ones he was previously on.
