I've been told that John Titor plays an important role in the visual novel, so I'll give you a little background info on the actual guy.

Around the end of the year 2000, John Titor posted on a few forums, proclaiming that he was a time traveler from the year 2032. He was sent back in time to a parallel universe, by the US Army, to retrieve an IBM 5100 in 1975. The machine had a function that not many people knew about at the time; which was the ability to translate several types of computer code. This was going to be used to save their mainframes that were about to cease functioning.

However, before returning to his own time, he stopped in the year 2000 to visit family, and gather some things before WWIII started.

One of the questions that was asked was about when time travel will be discovered. Titor responded that CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research which is used to operate the world's largest particle physics laboratory, would discover it in 2001 along with with the creation of miniature black holes. This also brought up the question about the Grandfather paradox. In which Titor reply, that the paradox itself is impossible, because he wouldn't be killing his actual grandfather, but a parallel one instead.

Titor was also willing to posted information about the time machine itself and how it can be installed in a car or truck. He even posted pictures of the machine.

By the end of March in 2001, Titor stopped posting on the forums which lead some to believe he went back to his own time.

I hope I've helped someone out.

The information is definitely appreciated, now I won't have to go looking for it. A totally strange anime in deed, but it's certainly got me hooked at this point. Can't wait for the next episode.

First episode was cool, this was one of the anime I was looking forward the most and it did not disappoint.

It looks like it has a time travel/parallel worlds thing going on. And going by what demx posted about John Titor and what he said about killing a parallel dimension grandfather that might just be the case.

It has a lot of room for mindfuck, which I'm looking forward to.
