| Excellent episode. Lol I re-watched the first episode and it just perfectly makes sense. Even the title of the first episode was a foreshadowing..."Prologue of the Beginning and the End". Now, I'm just looking forward to how the ending plays out. The ending will say whether this anime is a 9/10 or 10/10 in my book. |
| I just re watched the 1st episode after watching the last one and after reading all this thread, and i even a little more confused. As i see, the 1st episode it could be also the 23 or 22, still being in the Beta line of events, meaning that the death of Kurisu is needed to ironically stop her dead and her original death not being part of the Alpha time line. But maybe im just to tired to think but right now that seems like a very possible way to Okarin actually saving both of his friend and stopping the dystopia to happend. btw saka said: I think Mayushi is still hiding something and will end up being the sacrifice anyway. It will have something to do with her habit of reaching for the light (futuristic time travel?) and younger Okarin's decision to stop her from leaving. There are still dark plot twists buried in there.... maybe she'll go back to the future or something. *cue theme music* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTGyeGgMpk8 ~There's no time to lose!!~ |

| It's painful to come in here and not be able tell some people they are wrong XD kaimax said: darkziosj said: kaimax said: Omitted stuff wow they omitted that? that sucks, i hope they somehow fit it in the next episode They won't, trying to forcefully insert that in the next chapter is just "pushing it". and if you think bit, the "omitted scenes" doesn't really affect the main story at all. It just complicated things and just trivial knowledge since they never made any kind of closure with that "sub-plot" in the VN. Basically it's a sub-plot, and the anime didn't need it. Another reason to play the VN It kinda does, since it explains why Suzuha said Okarin was assassinated in 2035. They should have left that part of the conversation out if they weren't going to follow through with WHY he was assassinated in the future. |

| Oh, my God...it seems that you have lost Okabe. Someone has to die. Well, four more episodes to go, I REALLY wonder what will happen. I would love a happy ending, but I'm not sure we can get one. Here's hoping for the best. 5/5. |
| oh shit...totally forgot about THAT |
| Well, I'm guessing there is no more "obstacles" now to shift from alpha to beta line. The only problem now for Kyouma, is to choose between Kurisu or Mayuri. Here are the interesting choices that Kyouma can make (theorized by a blogger in RC): 1. He restores things to the original timeline and Kurisu dies 2. He finds a way to create a “C” timeline where neither Kurisu or Mayushi dies 3. He finds a way, but only at the expense of sacrificing himself 4. Kurisu, understanding the situaion (perhaps despite Okarin trying to prevent her from doing so) forces the shift back to the original timeline, sacrificing herself for Maysuhi and Okarin’s sake Well guys. what do you think? |
I'm gonna post this as a question... Does anyone know if the reason why we can't see Kurisu's face on Episode 1, when she's lying dead, is due to censoring of the graphic violence or because we are not supposed to see who it is. |

The most logical one. We will definitely return to ep1, where all begins. 2. There's already a Gamma Worldline for the drama CDs. 3. Okabe won't be able to observe the outcome if he's dead. 4. It's the same as option 1. Archie74 said: I'm gonna post this as a question...

It's definitely Kurisu. But I understand what you observed. Food for thought. I just hate Hanada Jukki. I was already pissed off by his poor execution of Mayuri's 1st death and Okabe's 1st timeleap. He tends to keep those unnecessary scenes and cuts those relevant ones. Yuugo was originally intended to This is the most disappointed epidsode so far if you knew the original plot. I have a BAD feeling that Hanada will screw up the finale... =[ |

Comparing versions of Moeka’s death as follows, And the one from the VN in the spoiler Makise blush!  That was cutest part in the episode and you can so see in the spoiler Archie74 said: Well if it helps I got the BD version in the spoilerI'm gonna post this as a question... Does anyone know if the reason why we can't see Kurisu's face on Episode 1, when she's lying dead, is due to censoring of the graphic violence or because we are not supposed to see who it is. and it show that Makise's face is more shadowed. It still does not matter because Okabe knows it's her. It's just a way of foreshadow and since my source is BD that's how it is. Therefore no censors. You got to admit though it's so orgasmic to see that the BDs bring JUSTICE to this series. All is much more sharper and better. A comparing of TV VS BD with TV being the first pic in the spoiler |

| i have no words for this ... |
| During the last episode, I felt a bit awkward when they didn't show the foreshadow of it Anyway,I don't really care about the "omitted stuff", I think that part is a bit illogical(due to the high requirement of that timeleap machine) the moment when I play. It give me the " huh, wat? "feeling .Those who play the VN should know this better than me... Yumekichi11 said: I can't believe Makise has fallen into the hand of Dr.Pepper. lolOkabe+Dr. Pepper x Makise+Dr. Pepper = nice couple. Right? there are too much Okarin x Kurisi and too little Okarin x Mayushii .I somehow felt sorry for Mayushii T.T Kansokusha said: Cross your finger and hope they manage to get into the true end within 4 episode . =PThis is the most disappointed epidsode so far if you knew the original plot.

| Must...resist urge to click spoiler tag! Great series so far though, best of the season :D |
 |
| This was interesting.I didn't expect that. Only 4 eps left . Need more x_x |
Yumekichi11 said: Comparing versions of Moeka’s death as follows, And the one from the VN in the spoiler It's not only visually better, it's way more emotional. Moeka apologizes again and again and again in tears until she passes away, despite Okabe said he has already forgiven her.

I don't think that all the things that happened on the game can be resumed in just 4 episodes. Urging to see next episode. LOL you spoiled yourself? |
|
| well, to me the only way possible to save Kurisu, might be Okarin to let her die and then go further into the past again and maybe try to save her... just like he has been doing with Mayuri. or maybe, the scream we heard on episode one if it was really from Okarin, then there might be a chance that it was Okarin from the future? i dunno why but im expecting a similar end to the movie "the butterfly effect" LOOOL. |

| Never thought FB was so close to the crew. And another (not so shocking) plot twist emerged. I wonder how is Okabe going to solve this... |
| The Anime just trying to shrink the story to fit inside 24episode.Nae's scene is just part of the sub plot just like how they cut the scene of 4°C. Having Moeka and Mr.brown die in front of Okabe is enough mental damage for Okabe already. Its quite weird that why Okarin vomit when both die. I thought Okarin witness the death of Mayuri for more than 100times.He should have get used to the sight of death. Well , I am surprise I saw many msg in forum, people(non- VN player) saying that they wanted to play the VN to find out what with "the missing Nae scene". |

Hanada Jukki officially killed 4°C, Yuugo and Nae. The whole shooting scene wasn't a mental blow. Okabe was merely shocked. And Yuugo shot Moeka like he's killing a cattle. Crap. It's nothing compared to the original plot. The reflection of Okabe's guilt. The tragic atmosphere. The burning hatred. Salvation. It was a mental blow to us VN reader, not Okabe. I still couldn't calm down from this mess. Screw you, Hanada Bastard Jukki. Play the VN before you write ur freaking scripts. |
|
| Or he probably explained it to her, which would be surprising since he would've realized that she dies in the beta worldline before. |
| Kurisu only knows what Okabe told her, and when Okabe encountered Kurisu in the second episode, he mentioned her being stabbed. |
 |
| Once again Okabe shows his lack of thought. :( Well I guess I can forgive him a little after seeing what happened to Mayuri. |
| Okabe's realization was like something out of a horror movie. It sent shivers down my spine! Brrrr |
| oh my god biggest plot twist ever O_O when he took out that gun i was like naw he wont do it *bam* O____O; yea my mouth was opened that whole scene quite epic, i wonder how this will end ._.; please for my and every supporter of okabe x kurisu out there, LET SHE LIVE DX (and itd be even better if mayuri also survives though lulz) when kurisu herself mentioned getting stabbed, i instinctively thought "i knew it, i freaking knew it" and okabe's face was just as dramatic |
| I...Love....This....SHOW!!!!! |
| Epic episode as always. I was suprised that Mr Brown is FB and how he shoot himself and Moeka O_O Finally Okabe realized that the last d-mail has to do with Kurisu's death ... I hope that she can survive T_T Damn that anime surprised me more and more I wonder how it will end. |
| I didn't see that Mr Braun is FB but at least Moeka is saved, but now the problem is the first D-mail which I totally forgot, Okabe please found a way to save both Mayushii and Makise !! >_< |
 |
| Argh... only 4 eps left. Shit!!!can't wait for next ep. I guess no other series could replace Steins;Gate when it comes to the end. Jeez, and I wonder how Kurise's gonna give him her approval to undo the last 2 messeges. I'm sure Okabe will delete the SERN's detabase to avoid there overtaking the country, so I bet Kurise's death is certain at the end of the series. |

kaimax said: ARE YOU SHITTING ME!? The bolded part with Nae really happens? so if anyone's wondering WALL OF SPOILER for the omitted scenes. Read on your own violation. I bolded the omitted parts For about 5 minutes I had my jaw open and gagging! That Nae part is sooooo deep. So crazy! They will not put it? Well I will put it!

I thank him for not being as graphical as Kamisama Dolls was, that fucked up my day yesterday.

| I believe those can still be spoilers at this point in the story.... I will grudgingly allow them, but that route isn't entirely destroyed. You can always talk about the abridged parts after the series is over. |

| Reactions of this episode: FB was Mister Braun: Surprising, but not shocking. Moeka dies: Well, I pretty much saw that coming because of this whole if you die no matter how the time line changes thing. Braun committed suicide: I witnessed the VN picture in the past, so it was not unexpected. But I did go "Oh c'mon Braun! First Moeka and now yourself!?" Nae's murder intentions mentioned by kaimax and Yumekichi11: Incredibly horrified by the sheer thought. Even if there is a good explanation behind it, it still freaks me out. I'm glad the did not show it, because I don't want to be School Days traumatized. The Kurisu or Mayuri point: So I wasn't wrong. I thought of it ever since he erased the first D-Mail. Although, I didn't think he would realize it until it happened again. When he figured it out, "You are in deep shit know, Okabe" was the first thought in my mind. Now I am completely sure that this is not going to end in a positive way. |
saka said: OK but Moeka's route is gone with this episode so I suppose it's OK as long as it is in spoiler and indicated it's a spoiler.I believe those can still be spoilers at this point in the story.... I will grudgingly allow them, but that route isn't entirely destroyed. You can always talk about the abridged parts after the series is over. I would be totally surprised if they make Nae come out suddenly. |
| Wow, I am most shocked about how good this anime is. I didn't have the highest expectations, but I've always been interested in time travel fiction. This anime blew my expectations out of the water. Unless there is some sort of major letdown/meltdown in the remaining episodes, this anime is going to be getting a 10 for sure! |
 |
| sooooo good |
| Damn, Mr. Braun had like no reaction to anything. I was really looking forward to the part where Okarin would tell Mr. Braun that Suzu was actually Suzuha Hashida - the woman that took care of him when he was a young boy. Too bad it didn't show. Well, shit. Okarin has the IBN1500 to help him get back to the world line where everything is perfect...except for the fact Kurisu dies. Now it's a decision he has to make: Save Mayuri or save Kurisu. Dun dun dun... Yumekichi11 said: I would be totally surprised if they make Nae come out suddenly. I'm hoping they show Nae's part so bad. If they don't, I'll be sad. rodrigojager said: Anyone thinks I can find a translated Steins Gate visual novel? Every place I look for, I only see work in progress =( There isn't any out right now. Currently, it's being translated by a group at #VNTP on Rizon Servers. It should be finished before the end of this year. So just wait patiently :) Looking forward to the next episode. |

| Quite disappointed that they left out the Nae bit...that was the real good stuff >.< Now they made her look like an innocent girl only... |

| I think it's still possible that Nae will hold Okabe responsible for this whole mess and come back near the end. |
I am a banana. |
| Maybe psychotic loli is too much for tv adaptation and 24 episodes. If white fox is smart,maybe they can make an OVA for that thing alone. Doesn't that sounds good?Since there will be more blood available to see |
