Storyline
Featured review
An Ambitious Start
This episode truly becomes a masterpiece upon rewatching the series, and this is foreshadowed by the title of the episode in a way. However, as a pilot episode I don't think it does its job incredibly well. The directorial style and erratic pacing make this episode incredibly disorienting on first watch and can deter new viewers from continuing with the series. Okabe's immediately bombastic and quirky personality as well as his bizarre dynamic with his companions Mayuri and Daru contribute to the divisive nature of the episode. It's enigmatic in every sense of the word, and this atmosphere is further augmented by the art style. I strongly urge new viewers to persevere through these perplexing early episodes until plot points begin to coalesce and the grander story starts to unfold, as this series evolves into one of the most fascinating portrayals of time travel in any medium. When you go back and rewatch this show, I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode as much as I do now!
