| Well ehhhhhhhhh I have no clue what to say about this episode. Apparently, they expanded upon Leskinen's evil monologue from the VN and opened up things I never even realized, which also conveniently drags on the episode for just the right juicy cliffhanger. I don't necessarily like this scene more simply because they didn't have that dumb Yuki thing. They definitely try to push that Mayuri and Suzu survived the incident unlike the VN with it's Believe Me Zero crap. |
| Was I too naive for not expecting that Leskinen would turn out to be the villain ? It just didn't make sense to me, so I was never considering it. And I wished they didn't go for that route, he's such a stupid and cliched villain... prefered him as quirky side character, but welp. At least the scene with Mayushis message could convince me, that was really good. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| A bit different...or so a lot different then how the VN does it but they have to change up some aspects of the show to make it work. Overall I'm alright with how they are going about it, since it's still sticking to the main story. But they better not mess up the next few parts which are the best part of steins gate 0. |
 |
| The action was pretty bad... but I can't complain because I don't really care about the action in this series. An excellent episode, except the lack of certain monologue from the visual novel that sadly can't be put here in the anime because certain reasons. I'm curious about how they'll adapt what comes next, since in the visual novel this is what happens before the true ending. |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| I’ve absolutely no familiarity with the VN, but I knew that the professor was the ‘bad guy’ from the very beginning... You don’t have a character that over the top, and NOT have him turn out to know and be behind everything. So, that reveal was a little bit cheesy, to me. BUT, everything else had me completely and utterly, stone cold gobsmacked. My jaw sat agape, eyebrows making a perpetual beeline for my hairline, head shaking, all throughout. HOLY SCHNIKES, man. This show really IS the greatest thing since sliced bread. |

| so... how accurate we are to the VN? Bcs ofc no one will expect Suzuha and Mayuri to actually die when all they show is just a part of the time machine. Hell, even the message at the end of the episode is even more convincing of an evidence. (even though, it's still not convincing enough.) |
Revvie-chan said: so... how accurate we are to the VN? Its different but same in a sense. You cant really talk about accurancy as the vn structure doesnt really allow that in this format. Its like a mix of the best, while fixing some problems but also sacrificing subplots of the VN into an linear narrative. But it also adapts Arclight, which alone makes it better than the VN in a sense. Its a more interesting adaption than original S;G. Kokorowagurasu said: Like everything was so rushed, everything was so obvious, lots of things made zero sense(specially about Kagari getting shot thousand times), suzuha not killing the professor because by the logic of the show it’s ok to kill secondary soldiers but the evil professors is not. I mean you dont have to be a genius to know that killing an unarmed beaten scientist is unneeded at this point. Its a bit different to soldiers shooting at you unless your moral compass is lost in space. Otherwise Nakabachi would be dead for a long time in original S;G if you are concerned about bad guys surving. |

| Well, this is our "hero" now, folks. Our once brave Okabe is crying in a corner while Suzuha, Daru, Maho, and even motherfucking Mayuri try to save the world. That's right, the half-witted girl with stockholm syndrome has a bigger spine than our main character. Okabe did absolutely nothing except watch all his friends get shot at and killed, then he's surprised how powerless he is. 1/5 |

| Ehhh... I liked first season of Steins;Gate, because it was a great psychological thriller. The second season was pretty much the same until they got on the freaking rooftop. Since then it became just action drama. And, in my opinion, not even a good one. Kagari got shot a dozen of times and, for some reason, still was alive. Suzuha just chopped off a head of a soldier with bare hands and killed many others, but she can’t kill the professor, because “She’ll be the same as him”, if she does that. Just what kind of logic is that? Also, why didn’t they just get into the time machine and flew away instead of talking to Okabe and waiting for the helicopter to shoot them? Now, I’m not saying that the series got worthless at this point or anything like that. I hope it’ll get better with upcoming episodes, but this one - I disliked it VERY MUCH. Ooof, I feel much better now. |

Not an excuse. |
| Suzuha was able to dodge a shot at point blank range. |
TrueKireiPriest said: Are you talking about the series where he actually tried to save the world? Then no, this was nothing like that. Yeah, i might misremember the bad endings of original S;G. Lets just not talk about those, especially not the Suzuha one. I know you hate 0 Okabe despite him making everything for original S;G Okabe possible and giving him the privilege. But dunno why you bash the other characters now, it doesnt make original Okabe or rather original S;G look good. |

But dunno why you bash the other characters now, it doesnt make original Okabe or rather original S;G look good. First of all, Okabe has the entire universe and all of his friends telling him to stop being such a pussy and do something - that is what makes this Okabe infinitely worse than anything in the original visual novel. Yes he needed a slap and a lecture to get his senses back, but that cannot even compare to here; where the entire show is one giant lecture and slap in the face that his thick head continuously resists. He is not the same person. Simple as that. As for why I bashed the supporting characters, just look at my signature and you will see why - they are part of the problem and only contribute to this angsty edgelord nonsense. I am not making the original look bad, this show is. |

| Oh wow all this negativity and here I am still excited af about the return of Hohouin Kyouma. The way things are going, I have big reasons to be excited. I'm pretty sure this will all pay off in the end. And in a big way at that |
| Is it just me or did Kagari literally decapitated a guy with one swipe of her hand?? |

| One weeks feels so long when I'm waiting for the next episode ;___; |

| Great episode, even if the reveal of Leskinen as the bad guy was pretty damn obvious, and even if the wordline hasn't shifted despite the fact that it should've done for one of two reasons: either Mayuri is dead, bringing Kagari's future into question, or they went back in time and attempted to change things, which should have obviously changed worldlines. Yet another frustrating cliffhanger though, to say the least. |
| I just knew he was a villain! Acted all goofy and innocent all this time, but it didn't fool me one bit! >:D |
 |
Ulquiorra said: Lol, I didn't think Leskinen was the bad guy. They probably managed to escape with the time machine. Seriously? It was obvious from the moment we met him he was going to be an antagonist. This series is so much worse than the first one. |
| honestly,, idk how some vn readers have said the anime did it better. wrong. wrong. wrong. i feel like this episode was just disappointing and it wasn't adapted as well as it could have been. the fight scene was so underwhelming and it was animated so badly. i'm actually sad because i feel like this episode could have had the potential to be one of the best eps of anime period. but it was didn't even come close to a fraction of how good it should have been. yes, i am gonna be that person who is going to tell you to read the visual novel because, as it stands right now, steins;gate is missing no much of what makes it steins;gate. reeeee i will however admit that they handled and actually discussed in depth how kagari could hear the voice of god and explained how leskinen did things (this wasn't really addressed in the vn so props to them) bUT MAyURIS MAIL COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER !!!! this is ep has kinda put me off the adaption, i've spent so much time just thinking about how perfect it could have been. now im just ranting so i will stop. lmao o well |
| Mayushi safe from rudal? I think okabe use time machine. |
| TUTURU MOTHERFUCKER God I just can't get invested with Kagari and her constant "Mama" bullshit. I wasn't even sad that she died. And those soldiers could do well as Stormtroopers with that kind of aim. But apart from that, I love the episode. Looks like Mad Scientist is about to come back. |

Yeah this episode was a bit of a mess choreography wise which left me a little bit underwhelmed. I haven't been able to bring myself to care about Kagari as a character either, I'm actually wondering if it's worth trying the VN to get a better understanding at this point. Overall I'm enjoying the series but issues like this do drag it down a little. |
| Did Mayuri and Suzuha really die? I want to believe they somehow barely made it into the past but the fact that part of the time machine was found after the explosion makes me think they died. Then there’s the message from Mayuri at the end, pretty emotional alright. Suzuha being stopped from killing Prof.Leskinen was dumb imo. Suzuha has killed before, she won’t hesitate to pull the trigger, she killed them soldiers in the previous episode so why stop her now. I’m surprised Kagari could still talk after taking several bullets. Well it’ll be a long wait to next week. I’m curious what Okabe will do now. Now he has a reasob to build a time machine. |
 |
| JSDF ought to get a subcontractor to police their skies or something. Clearly they were even less competent than the men in green that were slaughtered by Kagari. Future brainwashing is truly something. Professor Leskinen was amusing as well. To think that such an intricate plan would come that close to fruition. A scientist even madder than the one we have come to miss so much. |
BulletKing said: oh wow ur spoiler really changes the way i watch this anime. I havent read sg0 vn, and tbh i am pretty dissapointed so far with this anime, as i felt b4 episode 18 the plot is too slow and all the plot twist could be easily predicted... I am so angry and confused at how they handled that... I don't really want to spend what free time I have to rant on this but the way they wrote this was plain horrible and put more holes in the plot theta it already had. Was that there version of the bad ending we had to get like way long ago? Major spoiler i felt that the producer probablyerase some plots from vn for meaningless melodramatic moments. after the anime ends pls tell me all the plot twists erased in this anime... thx |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
Vindicater said: lol, couldn't agree more.. if only this isn't the sequel of masterpiece series, i would probably have dropped it by now.. but i will give it a chance till the last episode, who knows if the ending would be so satisfying with mind blowing plot twists.. Seriously? It was obvious from the moment we met him he was going to be an antagonist. This series is so much worse than the first one. Oh, and i am so glad i could join MAL episode discussion once again after forum down break... tbh i really dislike joining subreddit anime episode discussion, as they are full with bunch of fanboys, who could only praising the anime.. when here in MAL people could give more fair point of views :) |

| Things are messed up now, I always suspected about professor, and he finaly shown up and confess everything! And R.I.P Kagari , she got brutally killed! I really dont know if Suzu and Mayuri survived or not! I hope thatthey are still alive in the past! And now, what Okarin will do? He only have Maho and Hashida, he cant keep this timelime with so much losses, maybe its time for the retuning of mad scientist Hououin Kyouma, so maybe its timer for reach Steins Gate! This show always let me really hyped! Cant wait for next week! |

| damn son shit got real in this episode . what a ride this episode are aside from that stupid shooting scene . 10/10 |

We will still see the Fubuki stuff resolved, even if its underdeveloped, the anime highlighted much of the hospitalstuff even in anime original scenes. Its not over till its over and 2nd opening also shows Fubuki in her hospitaldress for giggles? Leskinen isnt gone either yet, and im not sure what to think of Reyes too as she's part of the 2nd opening but they didnt show her yet besides a maybe dead/hurt Reyes. They do have something in mind including PR stuff(even though i did expect them to end it more in the GS way to make that possible). Rest of V&A + Arclight + MWC dont need 5 more episodes. Its tough enough to fill an entire episode of MWC, but doable with Arclight at least. I dont see how they ruined Sgt. Cleaner, thats the weirdest thing ive read from vn readers so far. Its a great adaptation of her even to the point of being referenced again. She's awesome and glad they didnt cut her even though most expected her to get cut, even if anime onlies are complaining about it as "nothing happens". There are other parts of TA which i kinda still have hopes for. As for GS Maho: Well its only one worldline in the anime, so it was expected they would remove that part. Original S;G wasnt different when it comes to such stuff, they gladly cutted Nae away and GS Maho is kinda compareable in a sense. I like her development in GS but i dont think it would work in the anime thanks to Arclight, especially with her development before, but yeah also had hopes they would go more straight into GS. But i guess they got sick of anime onlies complaining about Houin Kyoma so they decided to adapt this different. Lets see how it works out. |

| BS, Mayuri got headshotted, she dead and Kagari wtf, she more than dead, she died as many times that Mayuri did in the first season |
 |
| BulletKing said: @lswarmruler I think the S;G wiki has the summary for it. @sanlei The problem is that there's only 5 episodes left lol. I agree about Sgt Cleaner being great, you can literally read posts from on the first episodes were i hoped her being shown. So its really weird to complain about her screentime. You say they could've used a minute or two, but they used 2-3minutes for the whole thing + later references with Daru. Dont see a difference at all there to the VN, so really not sure what you expected there. They also highlighted how messy Maho is, which is nice. And yes Reyes is probably the worst in the anime version, though as mentioned they better make up for including her in the 2nd opening. V&A has only 1 more episode of content and MWC has barely a scene. So thats 2 known episodes for sure, rest is mixed content, PR and Arclight. Really not sure what they are planing there aside from the obvious scenes. But im sure they will reference Fubuki again as they bothered in the first place to map her memories to episode 8. Not saying it wont be inferior, but i dont think we are past that point to write her subplot completely off, otherwise whats the point of anime original scenes reminding us of this? As for the last thing: 17: "I love Okarin." "But I love Hououin Kyouma even more" Translation:" I love the (current) Okarin, but I love Hououin Kyouma even more so i want him back" -> in context to Daru and Maho 18: "I love Hououin Kyouma" "But you know what. I love Okabe Rintaro even more" Translation: "I love Hououin Kyouma, but i love my Okabe Rintaro (as a whole person) being true to himself even more." -> in context to Okabe himself, confessing her feelings to him So Okabe Rintaro(Hououin Kyouma + Okarin) > Hououin Kyouma > Okarin Its from Arclight and not straight up from the VN. Its correct that way and not a writing mistake: "In her thoughts, Mayuri knows who her only "Hikoboshi-sama" is. The identities Okarin and Hououin Kyouma together make up her beloved "Okabe Rintarou", who helped her after she lost her grandmother." So basically she loves the true Okabe Rintaro - who is a mix of Okarin and his Persona he created to help her out. Its the consequent development of 16 > 17 > 18, to make this stronger and who Okabe really is. Ofc she ends up confessing her love not to a persona, but the true person behind it, which isnt the current Okarin either, as he isnt true to himself but suffering from making the choice to stay in this worldine (referencing 16, which Okabe knows himself). |
