| Hey, Boy waddup? I think I heard in the middle of the episode xD. I feel so sad about Okabe. |
| Episode 2 was a hell of a roller coaster ride seeing okabe and kurisu face to face once again, the whole episode we see okabe struggling to believe he is able to interact with her in some shape or form. Later, seeing him get comfortable with interacting with the AI was very heart warming |
 |
| This is really an emotional episode, besides that we have another great episode. And welcome back Christina. |
 |
| Hmm I wonder what's gonna happen... Will amedeus make okabe go crazy? |
| AI Kurisutina aka Amadeus is funny like the original. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| Damn that was great, even though I knew directly it would have something like that when they mentioned her studies... still quite amazed with this development and I really do wonder what kind of differences this will create for this timeline. Well let's see what's next! |
 |
| Really feel that the series is losing the “thriller” feel the original had. It’s also funny how they have a legit reason to use CGI (Amadeus) and so far, ED>OP |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| The OP somehow have the same kind of feeling as the OG OP of Steins; Gate! Albeit it's more energetic this time. I love it, especially the number of details in the OP when compared to the OG OP! The ED here sounds beautiful by itself but paired with the animation, it's depressing as it shows Okabe's madness... Okabe's "OBJECTION!" brings back memories from the first episode of the original Steins; Gate... The amount of Engrish moments in this episode is amazing! I especially love when Okabe said "Shut up Christina!" to Kurisu when she commented on his poor English pronunciation. Though Kurisu's memory is in Amadeus' system, it's only a month away from the moment she met with Okabe... It's as usual for Okabe then... Seeing the people he cared about yet they don't know the times they've spent with him. Ahhh painful memories... |
  |
| And there it is, Kurisu being uploaded aswell ... but 3 to 4 months before the original Steins;Gate story started (where she died) I love how Okabe managed to shut up the entire audience, well said! - OBJECTION! We can already see Kurisu's old self come back after talking with Okabe for a little bit. Also this reminded me of a Black Mirror episode called "Be Right Back" |
 |
| okay,,,1st of all,,Christina is not dead,,right???!!its getting confusing again dammwit!Okabe had to open his gut!!remember?! or is it that even though she is alive in Alpha she is Dead in this Beta World line????then again why would she be dead in Beta if she is alive in Alpha!!owh,,Fuck me!! ;_; Maddo Scientistto Hououin Kyouma,,thanume wo,Modore,we need you,,explain everything! "EL PSY CONGROO" |
 |
| That episode was amazing! Rintarou talking to Armadeus was hilarious and heart breaking at the same time :) |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Kurisu is the only trigger to turn Okabe to his usual mad scientist mode. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
BiggKab said: This is definitely not a sequel to previous anime which is all that I know. And it wasn't supposed to be a sequel. This is a midquel, you will see at the end. |

| *sees Kurisu* It's time to cry. |
 |
| So good to see Kurisutina again, even in the form of this Amadeus program.. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| So an Ai that acts like Kurisu enters the scene, looks like some advanced waifu This is probably gonna hurt Okarin on the long run as he will likely get attached to amadeus and the interraction with Kurise 2.0. Not helping much with getting over her death |
 |
| I kinda think that Okabe's reaction to Kurisu was less dramatic than expected, but anyway, I wonder what'll happen next. Leskinen doesn't look like a trustworthy person tbh. And there's more CGI than in the original (I'm not talking about Kurisu, which seems to be canon, but about the crowds and so on) |
| Aside from the cringey Japanese English, I loved the episode. Leskinen's VA imitated how an American would speak Japanese very well imo. I felt the emotion Okabe was feeling. It's cruel that he had to meet Kurisu this way and agreeing to become the tester. Maho and Leskinen could see that the initial meeting was difficult for him. You can tell he feels guilty for not attempting to save her again and that he sees all the qualities that he loved in Kurisu in Amadeus. |

| When I watched episode 23β I wondered why Suzuha never breathed a word after Mayuri blocked her slap and started consoling Okarin, as I also wrote in a forum post on that episode. I thought that she gave up way too easily. I think the first 2 episodes of Steins;Gate 0, particularly the first one, have made perfectly clear that that was because in this world line the future 33-year old Okarin never came up with a plan to save Kurisu on 28 July 2010. Unlike in the original episode 23, in episode 23β Suzuha had neither a video message from the future Okarin nor oral instructions about how the 18-year old Okarin could save Kurisu. Nothing at all, just a blind "let's try again and see what happens".. Therefore, since the time machine had fuel for just one more trip, if Okarin had agreed to try a second time to save Kurisu (but, this time, without any plan) he would have 100% failed (despite what the Mayurin of 2036 -who bizarrely does not appear to have aged a day though 26 years have passed..- thinks : even if she had given Okarin the stern pep talk of the original episode, without a plan he would have certainly failed again), just like he failed repeatedly when he tried to save Mayuri before coming up with the D-mail undoing plan to save her. At least now there is some hope, assuming Okarin or someone else (perhaps the AI Kurisu?) devises a plan to save Kurisu (and prevent WWIII) by "leaving the past events unchanged but changing the result". I still think that key scene in episode 23β was ruched and could have been handled better though. On the other hand, Steins;Gate 0 showed that Suzuka never gave up on her mission; she only gave up, temporarily, on the day of episode 23β. That is apparently because she knows when it might be too late to save Kurisu (probably when the time travel race starts, or when the first time travel machine is announced to the public). |

| The feels in this ep is real, Okabe meeting AI Kurisu really has that melancholic vibe Only for it to be ruined by HEY BOYYYYYYYY |
| It hurts to see an AI Makise and not a real one.. It hurts Okabe even more. Well, will he change his mind and save her one more time? Maybe. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| wow okabe got a 2d waifu of hiz own now 🥰🥰🥰 |
 |
| I can already see the set up for the doomed future with this AI and everyone's involvement with it |
| I love hearing the professor speak English lmao Just imagining talking to a VTuber AI chatbot of someone you knew when they were alive is crazy, let alone someone you were extra intimate with. |
| I freaking miss this ED song a lot, kind of sad to see how Okabe reacted to Amadeus, but at the same time happy to see him bantering with her. |
