Konosuba is debatable because alot of the jokes comes from making fun of standard isekai tropes, which a new anime watcher wouldnt be acquainted with. Also i doubt an average person would enjoy Kazuma stealing panties and waving them around.
Steins Gate is a slow burner that even some weebs find it hard to get into. Also the whole story has moe culture in the background and you cant even remove that as it is part of the plot. Not mentioning that scene with Ruka.
And Made in Abyss in beginner recommendations? Tell me who's your dealer because i want whatever pack you've been smoking.
At this point I feel like Steins Gate is notorious for people quitting after the first episode, and some people going back to push through it and finding a great show.
I did give it a chance... a couple times. only twice I made it to the end and it was a slow summer, then S;G 0 coming out. past few episodes I always give up because I can't stand Daru.
Man I forget how they bury the actual plot, it really isn't clear until about 5/6 in is it....I really should rewatch it soon, it's been an age.....the jelly files are going somewhere. The how and why of it takes a little while, and where that leads.....ah man it's a ride
Just curious, what did you think at the end of episode 2 when [S;G]the banana has turned to sludge and is back where it was, and Okabe claims it has travelled back in time, while the prodigy Makise vehemently denies the possibility. What works for many of us is that it's absolutely a bullshit-free show at that point, there's no magic system no monsters no weird technology, nothing really. Many anime will set the show in the future for no reason but to make the bullshit premise more believable, and then not even clarify that it's the future (looking at you, Classroom of the Elite).
This was just Akihabara of 2010, everything's normal except this one thing. Have seen few anime create intrigue like that, I'm curious why some people feel the opposite.
The thing is, you can watch all of Ping Pong the Animation or Tatami Galaxy in LESS than 12 episodes. Taking the length of an entire series to get good isn't a good sell.
That said, I'm sure Steins Gate is good long before episode 12, it just unfortunately doesn't have a strong initial hook for a lot of first-time watchers.
