The anime is awesome. I think I saw that its available for free (subbed) on Funimation’s youtube channel, for the time being at least, so that might make it an attractive option for some.
I have not yet played the VN either, but I hear that it’s really good too, so whatever you want to do. I’d say do both.
I wanted to watch DBZ again. Found out there is a new HD version called Kai.
I decided to check for the DVD or Blue-Ray and got showered by an avalanche of different DBZ boxsets, all with different episode counts (one has 28, the other has 39, and so on).
I’m confused as fuck now.
DBZ Kai is only 100 episodes for the entire series from the beginning to the end of the Cell saga.
Only, compared to the 300 episodes of the original series. I’m used to longer series, sue me 
. One Piece is almost to 600 episodes and just recently passed the 700 chapter mark.
I don’t watch animes that get that long personally. 100 is a lot to me.
Just finished watching Fate/Zero, holy fuck that anime is near perfection.
Hopefully they’ll make an anime of the Heaven’s Feel route from Fate Stay/Night, one can only hope…
Okay, I just watched the first two episodes of Steins;Gate. I really hope it gets better, because they were damn near incoherent.
Yes. It will. I was also very confused at the beginning. It takes a few more episodes before you start understanding what’s happening and liking the characters, and then you’ll start really enjoying the show. Then about halfway through it gets REALLY interesting. It’s a slow buildup but it pays off big time when the show hits its stride.
As opposed to the others, I played the VN (English-patched) and have not watched the anime. I felt “weird” playing a VN (never done that before), but definitely enjoyed the brilliant story in the end.
At this point, I’d say you can chooose between the two indifferently.
I’m 12 hours in the Steins;Gate VN and damn it’s so slowwwww… (In comparison to other VNs i played like Katawa Shoujo and Fate Stay/Night) They made sure to confuse you to with all the scientific bullshit that kinda makes sense, but still super confusing. There’s a lot of internet slangs thrown all over the place, a nice touch.
Also, trap girl. Goddamnit
Not sure what exactly prompted it but I finally got around to trying out Katawa Shoujo. This is an awesome VN, especially for being free. Choosing what came natural seems to have landed me in Emi’s route - guess I’ll have to check a guide to see how to get the other routes. Maybe it’s just because I haven’t really ever played a VN before, but a lot of the choices don’t seem obvious about how they affect the story. Or maybe that’s normal?
Katawa Shojo is incredibly well written. The choices are quite subtle in terms of long reaching effects in many cases. It’s actually the only VN I’ve ever played, but holy shit was it good.
I got Emi my first run through as well. In my opinion, the only one who wasn’t very easy or obvious to get was Rin. You get her basically by pissing off all the other girls. Next time you play, don’t push yourself on the track, and you’ll get someone else.
Steins;Gate (the anime) is finally starting to gear up a bit. I’m at episode 16, maybe?
My first route was with Emi too. I thought it was a subliminal thing because I’m dating a girl in real life that goes by a similar nickname.
Mine ended up with the burnt face girl. I don’t even remember the name anymore.
Hanako. Her route was just plain uncomfortable to play sometimes, but it was in service of the point of the route.
Hmm, ok. Yeah I could see that joining the student council was obviously going to lead me along with Misha and Shizune but some of the others were not that obvious to me.
Whoa I thought for sure you’d finished that by now lol. But that happens to me a lot too, I’ll start watching a show and forget about for a long time…started on Doctor Who, trailed off on that, started Fringe, haven’t watched that in a while either…
Anyway yeah if you’re that far in you’re getting into the meat of the story now.
It’s way too slow; I’m not motivated to keep up with it at all. I’ll probably finish watching it eventually.
