So it just finally hit me:
It's not just me. Dave's raps really do suck.
That last thing? Totally me thinking about Homestuck and spewing that out there. Probably has better actual rap aspects than anything Dave ever churned out. And here I thought the whole thing was just funny, but I finally realized.
Nope.
Sorry, Dave.

Review: Steins;Gate
Steins;Gate is everything an anime for an older audience should and could be. Adult humor without being explicit, fanservice without nudes or feeling cheap, excellent voice acting, a cast of over-the-top and loveable characters, an intricate story line, gorgeous animation, fitting soundtrack that I absolutely felt compelled to track down -- anime bliss. This also is the choice of Stein's Gate.
Steins;Gate is the next series in line with Chaos;Head, but other than a couple Easter eggs, the two rarely intersect, despite being the same universe. Like its predecessor, Steins;Gate started life as a visual novel, which is reflected in the number of potential ships -- everyone but Daru is into our protagonist, it seems, though I don't doubt someone ships Daru, too.
Our protagonist is Okabe Rintarou, who calls himself Hououin Kyouma, the Mad Scientist. His right-hand man is the super hacker, Daru, a stereotypical overweight otaku with a plethora of waifus; but the title of Lab Member 002 goes to Mayuri Shiina, better known as Mayushii, the obligatory cute childhood friend who embodies innocence. Okabe runs Future Gadgets Laboratory out of a room rented over a TV repair shop specializing in cathode ray "braun tubes." Okabe is attending Professor Nakabachi's special lecture on time machines when he discovers a murder -- child prodigy Makise Kurisu has been stabbed. But a simple text message to a phone hitched to his Gadget 004: Phone Microwave (name subject to change) has caused a jump in timelines that only he can remember. Makise becomes lab member 004, and a whole number of other characters -- Suzuha, Moeka, Feyris, and Ruka, most significantly -- become wrapped up in a string decisions that need to be undone before time runs out. Considering that they're building a time machine, you wouldn't expect that to be as much of a problem as it turns out to be.
Go. Run to it. It's out on Blu-Ray/DVD combo-pack. I only wish I could afford it. I'll wait for a single series bundle, but right now it's two sets and will run you about $90 for the whole thing.
