because people are apparently enthralled with "omg im soooo much more powerful than you and im gonna tell you exactly why and how im going to defeat you and how stupid you will look after i have defeated...but first let me act constipated so that i can obtain my true power and make you sit through 200 episodes of filler while i only tell 12 episodes of plot in stead of just being a mad scientist who exudes epic for 26 episodes"
tl;dr...people are stupid...same reason people watch american idol and that shit...30 minutes of show with 20 minutes of complete bullshit...

Hahaha.... so you like Steins Gate eh? Have to watch that.
