I never felt any antipathy towards her over the in-story events, but I never liked her either. Her design is pretty in the VN, but she herself doesn't really seem real. That's probably -why- I was unaffected by the reveal. Granted, I haven't read the VN in a long time and I'm sure it put more detail into her character than the anime -- especially considering she only communicates through her phone -- which is fresher in my memory lol. Still, I wish more detail were put into incorporating the supporting cast into the story outside of their designated chapters.

Moeka, Luka and Faris were all completely disconnected from the things Okabe was doing for most of the story (and even Mayuri was just portrayed as the dumb, docile girl who sits there fawning over Okarin and sewing costumes without a care in the world for the first half), so they never touched me on an emotional level and the events that were meant to be poignant because of those characters just weren't poignant. I feel like I would have appreciated that show a lot more if Moeka, Luka and Faris had been more involved in the lab itself, even if they didn't contribute to the scientific part of it.
