| OMG, Makise in aviators. LOVE <3 Yumekichi11 said: BTW: A little something as a obligatory GIF in the spoiler of why I really found Mayuri cute in this episode This had me ROFLing all over the place. XD XD XD Cute OVA, loved it! Wish we could have gotten another kiss between Okabe and Makise. |
 |
| Very nice special. I really enjoyed it despite it being short, because it confirms that Kurisu does love Okabe despite not directly experiencing what he did. If the show ended without this romance it would be quite sad. |
 |
| Officer: "What's the purpose?" Okabe: "I'm Mad Scientist!" Officer: "Hahahahahaha!" Okabe: "Hahahahahaha!" *Arrested* xDDD omg Kurisu with sunglasses looks so beautiful and badass. We got to know Daru's future wife! I'd like to know more about her. I liked this OVA. It was like a self-parody of the main series with a lot of references to the main series. (That taxi driver, for example.) |
 |
| I think I expected a little bit more, but I'm still not quite disappointed. Comic relief was great (*thud* *Mayuri wakes up* 'I think Okarin and Kurisu-chan are getting along really well!' *Mayuri falls back asleep*), plot - rather absent, but I probably shouldn't have expected it from a special in the first place. Learning about Suzuha's mother and getting some closure for Makise-Okabe relationship was satisfying enough. And now excuse me, but I'm back to playing the VN. Next comes the movie :D |
| The voice acting (especially the Engrish lol) and the characters are great as always. That plus the mindscrew in the series is the reason why I like this anime. "I am mad scientist. United States. Chaos and invade! Muhahaha!" |
 |
| Okarin's english best english ^^ Okabe getting arrested two times so funny xD Mayushi so cute here <3  Hehe they actually show Daru's future wife c: That ending so cute, loved it. Great end for an awesome series 10/10 |

| Perry normal episode, just to show Okabe and Kurisu starting their relationship. So guess that one was Suzu's mom... |
 |
| (rewatching) "Mad Scientist!" The engrish is strong with this one. |
  |
| I would have given 5/5 but THEY DIDN'T SHOW THE KISS T__T bittersweetlove said: So guess that one was Suzu's mom... I didn't even think about that but it makes perfect sense. Like it. |
| I'm glad they included this to go with the anime. LOL at the English parts. xD And about time they confessed. 8/10 |
 |
| Mayuri was adorable sleeping in this episode :3 Okabe, you should just explain everything too Kurisu, from the very beginning to the very start. |
 |
| It was a very nice and heart-calming episode, so I'm glad I watched it just after the series. But there is one thing I have to complain about (and it's not only about Steins;Gate). I can't stand the way that most of the seyiuu speak English. It sounds terrible. And I'm not even sure if they do it on purpose or not but it hurts my ears. Some of the words they have mastered but others belong to the land of nope. I usually like all kinds of accents but this one makes me sick. And I have a half-Japanese friend, whose mother speaks English with absolutely different accent. |
 |
| Oh my gosh. That ending part was so adorable. Meeting Suzuha's mother was also a nice touch. :) |
| "It's a tragic misunderstanding that could have been easily avoided if he just finished his sentence in time!" — Richard Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) |
| Oh thank God... at first I really thought that they're going to pair up Mayuri and Daru... phew it was another girl. I love how funny this episode is. Well, pretty much a fanservice episode and it clears up Daru's lover. Just finished this on one night... whew it's 6 AM now lol and I'm still hoping they would show multiple universes where the girls end up with Okarin like VN type of endings. T_T I mean it's obvious that Okarin cares a lot for Mayuri and so does she, then Faris love her prince, then Ruka loves his saver, and of course Kurisu the girl who won with the main girl win rule. Well there's always imagination and fanarts I suppose =w= Now let's jump to the VN~ |
 |
| That was fucking terrible but to be fair I thought this was an unlisted 25th episode of the main series and not a separate OVA so I was comparing it to the 24 episode run. |
| Hilarious and touching episode that will allow me to feel closure regarding this show. Now on to the movie. El Psy Congroo. |
   |
| This special...no, this sequel was perfect! I mean, it was everything I needed after the True Ending of S;G! Usually you may think of OVAs that they are plot-less, just fanservice, the "beach episode", but this is not, wow, this was a true sequel, an episode 25. After the True Ending I felt sad, happy yeah because it was awesome, perfect, but sad because it was over and we didn't know what happened with those two after that moment. But really, this sequel made me happy, really happy. It has comedy, plot, key scenes, return of characters and Susaha's mother, and the romance... oh wow... I don't know how an anime that is not about romance can manage it so well... I just love KurisuxOkabe, they are perfect for each other and I was super glad they got their moment. (Personal opinion: I usually don't like that just because they are protagonist they have to end up together, but wow, these two were made up for each other, they were perfect) It was a harsh cliff hanger, that "close your eyes" and then the black screen I was like: "THEY KISSED!!!" and then the Opening as the Ending... BOOOM, epicness! I was happy, very happy =) The good things of Episode 22 all over again, it was a shame there was no kiss on-screen but it's not like we didn't see them do it before. But damn... Okabe really knows how to confess, totally awesome confession... TWICE. Really, this is how an OVA is done, I don't even want to call it OVA but sequel, episode 25, the epilogue of the True Ending. Episode 22: The Bittersweet ending, a.k.a. Fake Ending. Episode 23: The "There's hope" ending. Episode 24: The True Ending (I don't like calling it "happy ending" just because it's not a gift or forced, Okabe carved that ending, he earned it by himself) Episode 25: Closure. 10/10 Because it has everything I needed, can't ask for more. It brought peace to my heart after the episode 24. PD: Daga Okoto Da. PD2: Now, what's next for me? The Deja Vu Movie, then the "Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing" ONAs (just for fun), then Episode 23β and then Steins;Gate 0 (anime, and when it comes out) |

| Cute OVA. I'm sure it would have meant more if I had waited years after the original series to watch it, but I can understand why it's rated so high! Okarin getting arrested twice was HILARIOUS. |
  |
| Okabe's and Daru's american pronunciation might be the funniest thing i have ever heard in my life X'D. And finally Okabe and Kurisu reveal their love to each other. |
 |
dakara4 said: the girl who look like suzuha-san i think she will be her mother i mean she will marry .... the super hacker (i forgot his name ~.~) cause she said that she will get married & have a kid in 7 years later ^^ it was funny episode ^^ That's Amane Yuki for ya. |
| loved this OVA the atmosphere and tone were spot on, we got to see okabe truly confess his affection towards kurisu that was the best moment for me, but also we cant forget the reveal of suzuha's mom the way they hinted at it was great as well |
| "In any world line, any time, any place, I love you." Perfect ending to a great series. 9/10 |
| That engrish was fuckin GOLD lmao |
| well this was probably better than any single ep from the original show haha. loved the cinematography not tainted by the VN origins. |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
souledge94 said: not a bad way to close out the show. We even got to see itarus wife whos looks 100% like her daughter.We get some funny moments and some more on okeba and kurisus relationship.I would like to see more on how itaru and his wife meets up and maybe a time skip to see the next member of the team to be born.Besides that though To be honest the movie now feels like a bit over kill at this point. I hope it doesint screw anything up. Movie is nice but is is not canon and screw up a time travel logic of this show. Also don't forget about Episode 23B https://myanimelist.net/anime/32188/Steins_Gate__Kyoukaimenjou_no_Missing_Link_-_Divide_By_Zero It is prologue to Steins;Gate Zero, which hopefully will be aired till the end of the year and is canon. |

Kinda like a what if. So im not to interested in seeing it. It's not an alternate thing. It's a midquel telling the story of how the original Okabe came up with the plan to save Kurisu and reach Steins;Gate, sending the video message to the past we see at the end. |

Though to be honest im not to interested in seeing it if its the same length as the original anime. Well, sure, the story is finished, but if you really want to explore what Okabe went trough and needed to sacrifice in order to make everything possible with that happy end, it's worth the watch. |

Though to be honest im not to interested in seeing it if its the same length as the original anime. Just to make it clear, chronological order will be: S;G ep1-22 -> episode 23 Beta -> Whole S;G0 -> S;G ep23-24, OVA. What we saw in original 23 ep was not what originally happened, happy ending in 23-24 episodes are only possible because of S;G0. Event's of S;G0 were "erased" that's why from perspective of original show we went strait to happy end. |
| that "Close your eyes!" give me goosebumb . 9/10 |
| "Mountains, beings, and nature's laws are bound by an arrangement, and within it, we live." -Mushishi Zoku Shou Suzu No Shizuku |
| [Rewatch - BD version] This was such a gift to have after the True Ending. A total relief to our hearts after the epicness of Steins;Gate, and a bit of show about what happened with Okabe and Kurisu after episode 24. Those two are so perfect for each other... ugh! It makes my heart explode! I mean, "close your eyes". Heh, We all know what is happening! :3 And that "No matter the worldline, time or place, I always loved you" oh come on Okabe, you are melting her already. Next stop: The movie |
| This ova felt like it couldnt do the series justice ,kurisu looked more confused rather than show similiar emotions as in ep-22,,kinda forced and only meant for fangasm |
| Okabe getting arrested twice was pretty funny. Nice epilogue type episode, happy to see the gang all together again and messing around without real consequence like during the series. Seeing Suzuha's mom was nice. And of course, the Okabe confession again was great; "no matter the worldline, you were consistent". Especially with Kurisu's last line being "Close your eyes" :D |

| this was AMAZINGGGGGG time for the movieee |
 |
| That was a pretty sweet ending :) At least Kurisu was able to retain some of her memories from the different world lines in the form of dreams. |
 |
| That wasn't a bad episode. I'm not a fanboy of the main series. And I think this episode was refreshing since it had a different setting. Some funny scenes with the police. And stuff about the timelines (Kurisu remembering with the dreams) a bit explained. Also the girl I guess will be Daru's future wife and the mother of the other girl 7 years later. Scoring this 7/10 - same score I gave to the main series. (Which is good. Usually I go with 1 score point lower for additional OVA stuff.) |
