I don't think there's been a single show I love that they haven't :D

The show originally started as a visual novel, it's very heavy in dialogue as most visual novels are, but the plot twists are so good that it makes for an incredible TV show.

not only I J Michael Tatum Erwin from AOT, but he also plays Scar from FMAB

DAki

Yeah that's the real reason he calls her Christina but to add: as it doesn't translate well in English the dub just says Okabe calls her Christina because he didn't know how to pronounce her name Kurisu at first so was embarrassed and just made up a name instead hence Christina.

TM Romance

I am so excite every time-

Famalam

That look between Aaron and Eric was priceless ahaha

Japanese Visual Novels tend to be very dialogue heavy and quite linear. Games like Phoenix Wright are kind of an outlier, with actual gameplay and exploration. There's a reason they're called "visual novels." So it plays out very similarly to the anime, just with even more dialogue and exposition, and a handful of extra scenes/endings that didn't make it into the anime. If you enjoy the anime it's worth experiencing though. Especially if you're curious about the context for the Japanese side of references, as it has a whole encyclopedia explaining pretty much every little thing you come across.

This has just been an incredible reaction series. I'm really happy the community voted this in finally and that they are enjoying it this much this early.

The Steins;Gate visual novel was one of me favorite reads of all time I was really happy to see it actually translated to being an anime really well

English word thank you very much.

The word you were looking for to describe people 'acting' and 'playing' is Chuunibyo. Also known as 'middle school syndrome'. Basically, it's this social phenomena of middle school children depicting themselves as a 'protagonist' of the world they're in. Either as a hero or villain, they tend to have ridiculous stories that they imagine themselves in.

They keep calling Makise Mikasa, they’ll get it eventually

Hængeklumpen

He larps as a mad scientist. The word you were looking for is Larp

I am watching the show along with them and even though I love time travel and I think it's being handled pretty well as well as the plot, the highlight of the anime by far is Kyoma and his eccentric behavior and dialogue with Christina. I could watch 20 episodes of them just pissing off each other and hanging out.
