Fullmetal Alchemist has a great dub. Can't really speak much for the sub.
I'm extremely happy with this, I know quite a lot of people who stopped in the first 10 episodes, but with characters like there are I'm really surprised since I adored them enough to carry on.
In other news there was a fourth book announced for the book series (for those who are learning/can read Japanese), I own all three so far but I still haven't read them. I really need to get a reading light or something so I can read them at night when I want to. The lighting in my room is atrocious.

So does this mean that Season 2 is possible, If they are still writing Steins;Gate?
Watched every Steins;Gate EP week ago. 10/10 show!
I just finished Deja vu movie, but I still need more Steins;Gate in my veins.

As much as 5pb loves to milk Steins;Gate, even a 2nd season would be a bit much for them.
Well the first book from what I remember (it's been a long time since I read the first half of it) was a prequel to the original series if I remember correctly and it showed Kurisu at her University in America before she came back to Japan (although maybe I'm remembering incorrectly I'll have to check)
Now I apologise for my terrible translation, I'm not too bad but when it comes to loads of words I need to learn in one go. After learning the words I can understand what they're saying in Japanese, but have a really hard time translating them back into English (well most of the time anyways, I still don't understand what the first two "sentances" in the third paragraph mean. Translating that was fun because to work out a certain word I learnt something new about biology, funfunfun! :>
This is mosaicism in genetics btw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(genetics)
Interesting, good thing I'm learning Japanese. Maybe in a few months when my Japanese gets better I can "try" to read this book.

Damn that's tough, those are three of my favorites of all time. I'd say FMA first though.
That cover... I need it.
Thanks for the translation. That sounds interesting. More Kurisu is always welcome.
I really want to start reading them. Are they translated somewhere or do I have to start learning kanji?
Do it. What's keeping you?
I've not seen them translated anywhere, but depending on how long you''ve been learning Japanese it could be cool to start on them. It'll be very slow but you'll learn lots of new words and learning with something you enjoy is much better. I can't even count how many words I learnt through playing the VN very slowly, I sped up as I went through and words got repeated, but when you notice that happen you know the learning is working :>
How long have you been learning?
I agree. It's probably one of the better ways to keep oneself motivated enough to push through the learning process to be able to understand the story.
I haven't started yet, but it looks like it's finally time to do so. Naturally since I also watch anime every now and then, I can understand some (basic) words.
How long have you been learning to reach up to the point where you are right now?
Got any advice/tips to share?
So I finished with the main series.
Good stuff. I think they did a really good job with the concept of time travel. The dialogue in the English dub was amazingly brilliant. (IMO if you're a native English speaker, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch it dub'd) Only downside for me was that I had a huge time lapse in between episode 20 and 21. It may have hurt my enjoyment of the series since I tend to forget stuff overtime. But yeah it was still a masterfully put together series.
I'll probably hold off on watching the movie for a few months/years since it was almost a 2 year wait originally.

Don't forget the OVA extra episode and the movie!
I can't change the name off the thread to include Robotics;Notes myself but here's something cool.
They've released a Robotics;Notes Elite VR app in Japan now and they're some of the posters you can get which work with it (each one is store exclusive to a different store)

full inffo is on there with better sample posters than the ones in the picture, but they're awesomely drawn <3

Hello everyone! I have seen the anime last year (I think) and loved it. Today I just finished the VN and loved it even more (didn't even think it was possible to be honest). After that I watched the OVA and the movie; both pretty good, but not as good as the series/VN imho.
Anyway, while I enjoyed the movie, I still felt like it was unnecessary. (I felt the same about the third Madoka Movie honestly)
Movie spoiler ahead:
But apart from that it was still pretty enjoyable.
I think the OR stands for Okabe Rintarou, like C was for Christina.
Movie spoiler ahead:
The thing I enjoyed the most of the movie was seeing bits of the alternate routes/ending from the VN, which I finished today.
What I disliked the most though is the change to "Reading Steiner". There's no reason why now it would make Okabe be able to leap to another timeline while it couldn't before.

To your first bit, I realised my mistake but forgot to edit my post.
To your second bit.
I think there is a pretty good reason as to why it happens. I think it's down to the fact that Okabe Rintarou shouldn't still either exist or be alive in that timeline. It's either down to him dying in the accident he had (when he was run over) or he just plain didn't exist until Okabe forced his way into the Steins;Gate worldline. So his stronger memories are pulling his conciousness back away from the worldline to one where he existed before.
By Kurisu giving younger Okabe (who was almost a filler character to the worldline who shouldn't have existed in the first place) a powerful memory to remember, it gave his current conciousness enough power to stay in the worldline and not get pulled away. Even then I believe that probably sounds a bit bonkers and it probably is, hopefully they go into more detail at some point about it in a book or something.

I mean, I understand what they wanted to do and how it worked, but it just feels somewhat wrong to me.
In particular, why didn't that happen all the other times he time leaped? There wasn't that much of a difference all those times either. And also, it still doesn't explain how his memories being "confused" can make him disappear. Faris remembered a lot of stuff that in theory didn't happen, but didn't make her disappear or anything.
About the fact that he should have died: even if he died in the accident, then that wouldn't explain everyone forgetting him, especially Mayuri. It would explain the fact that Daru created the Lab instead of him and the other stuff, but how could Mayuri forget him altogether?

Anyway, now that I finished the big stuff, I'll probably read what of the Manga have been translated so far. There's quite a lot of different series D:

Well... I've been in Akihabara this week so here's some pics of real-life Steins;Gate locations:
And just to complete the set. Some more generic pics:
Oh, and before anybody asks... The radio hall crash site is no longer there. The building has been torn down.
The Future Gadget Lab. Yeah, this place doesn't look anything like it, but this is supposed to be it.
The beef bowl eating place
The coin lockers where the IBN 5100 was stored
The shrine gate. The actual shrine building is in another location though.
This is where Faris lives
The park where Kurisu and Okabe went
The maid cafe where Mayuri and Faris works
Steins;Gate poster outside the maid cafe
Omuraisu meal... I was there already, might as well...
Matches the game
And just to complete the set. Some more generic pics:
UDX building
Yodobashi Akiba
JR Akihabara station
Empty streets of Akihabara...

That must be SERN doing... they'd do everything to hide their experiments
That aside, really nice shots, I hope I'll be able to visit Akiahabara too someday

I'll post a pic of the site on Twitter later if I can get airport wifi to work.
Those pics, epic as F D:
May I ask you how much did that trip to Akiahabara cost? And

Yes. It is a real maid cafe. They don't wear cat ears though.
Plane itself cost 4900 NOK

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Any news on the S;G movie dub?
Sweet, I didn't even remember that maid girls in Steins; had cat ears. lol
About 600 euros, pretty cheap. I mean is still expensive, but I was expecting it to be 2000+ euros.

Damn this is making me want to rewatch it again soon.
This is what happens when you watch anime/tv-shows 3am.I can't believe you'd forget
I should probably rewatch Steins...
Btw you were talking about Robotics;Notes, is it worth watching? Any similarities between Steins; and Robotics?
Yeah you should. You probably missed a lot watching it that late.This is what happens when you watch anime/tv-shows 3am.

Robotics;Notes is worth watching IMO. It does start out much 'slower' than Steins;Gate, but push through if the first five episodes keep your interest (it gets really interesting in the 1x range though...). There are no similarities between Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes. You will see some familiar character(s and characteristics though. There are also some cameos.

I posted that pic on Twitter earlier but here's some more I found on the net:

My pic of the site yesterday. The new building will be opened later this year I think.

Watched the film last night. Powerful stuff. I'll definitely watch again if it gets dubbed.
I had kind of hoped for a post-ending scene. I envisioned a fun one showing a young child wearing a familiar labcoat and tinkering with a really late-model FG.
Oh, and the Nae-yandere reference was great.

I loved seeing it in the anime, after seeing in the VN. It's a shame they showed only a tiny bit.
The May edition of Ultra Jump that came out on April 19th showcases the latest Steins;Gate manga which features the Steins;Gate story through Shiina Mayuris perspective. Yoshiki Naruse, who handled the adaptation of Kurisus perspective from drama CD to manga will also manage this adaptation of Mayurs drama CD entitled Steins;Gate Mugen Enten no Arc Light.

Heh, just realized the meaning of the last line in the film. Cute.
I wonder if that was meant to be Okabe's first kiss from the story's conception, or was it Moeka when he attacked her?
OMG, so cool!
I just finished the game but I guess I'll need to check out the anime series and movie too.

I think it makes more sense if it is the first one with her, rather than the one with Moeka.

Speaking of Robotics;Notes, I noticed that Amazon currently has the Robotics;Notes Part One Bluray/DVD Combo for only $19.96! That's a really sweet deal, I couldn't resist picking it up at that price. I'm pretty interested in how the dub will sound, too.
