| farewell, Amadeus... ;.; another beautiful episode, once again great to have Kyouma back, and the last scene had me in tears once again |
| I didn't expect to be as sad as i did. But when the VN opener started playing, tears were rolling. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
It just breaks my heart, again A Deja Vu of episode 22 of Steins;Gate. A new farewell; the heartbreaking split, once again. This episode made me cry again, just like the previous. Episode 21 made me cry of joy, and this one made me cry out of sorrow. I can't blame Okabe for not wanting to say goodbye, again. That last smile from Amadeus, was so bitter...the very definition of a bleeding broken heart. See you later, Christina. PD: Hey Okabe, we know you wanted to kiss your phone heh. |
Aquamirror said: woow thank you Chiyo, can't wait to have the fucking true ending locked in a fucking DVD release that would get an English translation after half an year later The second revival was kinda unnecessary and felt forced. I hated the TA ending from the VN, it doesn't make sense, glad they fixed it here. But I really liked how they linked the events and the D-Rine though. The VN never felt like it had a proper continuity. What are you talking about? Is that even remotely confirmed? 1.123581β seems like an good choice to place MWC ending in. |
| Great episode, although to be frankly honest, I have mixed feelings about this. Okabe having to decide to abandon Kurisu(+Amadeus) in such fashion yet again sure was depressing. Even more so saddening was to see Maho sob throughout the entire scene, but that’s just how farewells of such levels are like. On another note, the time that Okabe and Amadeus spent rekindled some of the heartwarming feelings from the Original so that was a nice addition to see. With that said though, it made the finale of this episode all the more heartbreaking. I’m a little shocked that we didn’t get to see much of Mayuri and Suzuha, except for a few shots, but I’m not too bothered by it regardless. All in all, I’m looking forward to next week’s finale episode! As things stand, I’m expecting White Fox to rush the ending so I’m hoping we get a few extra minutes at least. Please, White Fox! P.S. I thought I had sent this message earlier this morning, but apparently it was in another discussion xD. |

| The first half of the episode felt like its not second to finale episode, but then the second half kick in. That was so emotional. Amadeus Kurisu put a forced smile at her last moment. Erasing her remind of the similar event in original Steins;Gate where the D-mail must be erase in the SERN database. |
 |
| So did Okabe... make out with his phone? |
| . |
| I see posts from people complaining about how horrible this series is, and I honestly cannot believe they’re watching the same show! It has been breathtaking, engrossing and phenomenal, as far as I’m concerned. But, I guess you can’t please everybody. |

SkyDrop said: After the last decent episode, this episode was disappointing to me and its just too much mirrored version of the OG (episode 22) drama except here they had to deal with deleting AI programme that didn't feel any slightest emotional impact to me, meh. At this pace, I can't believe next episode is the finale and I already feel that will be rushed (unless the duration extended) or perhaps we are going to see 'true ending' on the OVA episode? I though exactly the same, that was totally unnecessary and dumb, maybe I remember wrong but in the VN Okabe was already resolved to delete amadeus and reach the S;G, the one who opposes was maho, without all that unnecesary drama. |
| This anime do wonders.. I really like where this is going... final episode to go...and Iam like it just started man |

S;G0 VN Okabe =/= S;G0 Anime Okabe Anime Okabe had Amadeus helping him when he time leaped 3000 times, even more when Okabe is nearly captured at 2025. Of course he'll get more attached to Amadeus here. |
| I had tears through out the whole episode this really was what I wanted to see but Amadeus farewell was to hard too watch T*T |
| I have not played the VN so I'm not familiar with the whole story. I think that this series has managed to create 2 time paradoxes which the original Steins Gate story did not making it the best time travel series. |
| I think this episode has a bit of forced dramas. Well as a VN reader I feel somewhat confused what to expect next episode.. |
| Meh Episode Okabe's depression doesn't make any sense when we know that he made up his mind to reach Steins Gate no matter what. Mayuri and Kurisu's life on the line here, but he is sitting there making a big drama about Amadeus erase that is less important than two REAL people lives (+WW3 victims). If the Amadeus had a strong connection with me and characters, this episode would have worked to an extent, but I think it didn't. I'm reading Pluto manga and it has AI Robot characters that have these strong connections within the story and readers themselves. |
| Houoin Kyouma moments are so cringy I swear. But overall it was maybe the best episode of this season. It's like the only good episode out of all these trash ass others. Finally this shit ends next week. |
xZabuzax said: Meh, this episode was a disappointment. First of all, the Amadeus concept was used pretty badly and she was missing for most of the show anyways so I didn't bond well with her here, this episode felt cringy. They tried to copy the same formula from episode 22 from the OG Steins;Gate with the farewell and the sacrifices and whathever but in this episode it didn't worked out for me, this felt forced. The farewell from episode 22 from the OG felt natural and I shed a few manly tears there, the farewell of episode 8 from Steins;Gate 0 felt natural and I also shed a few manly tears there but in this episode I was cringing a bit. Come on now, we only have 1 episode left so how the hell will they wrap this up, I fear that the last episode will be rushed and is going to feel forced as well. Dr. Reyes as a character wasn't even developed here and I don't think they will waste time in developing her character in the last episode, they didn't explained why Okabe time leapt to the future in the beginning of this anime either, they also didn't explained why the "mysterious" person that captured Okabe allowed him to go back to the past by telling him to take the phone call, they also didn't explained the video mail that Suzuha received from future Daru. What the fuck!, are they seriously going to explain all that shit in just 1 episode? I bet they will actually explain all that in the OVA instead but damn, this anime was a disappointment. Amadeus was used far better in the anime than the VN. Dr. Reyes is a DURPA soldier, she don't need more explanation. In the VN, she had a little more development (because she had a bigger role), but in the anime, she wasn't too important. I don't know what are you talking about when you said time leaping to the future at the BEGINNING of the show... There wew no time leaps at all in the first half of the show. If you refered to the beginning of episode 4, then it was a vision about another possible worldline in the PRESENT, not in the future. In the VN, we saw more from that worldline in one of the main routes. But in the other main route, we just saw a vision which had less content than in the anime. The anime tried to combine the two. |

| 22? Where is 21? Well, I wanna say: woohoo, Hououin Kyouma is back!! |
| That seemed both rushed and slow paced... Nothing happened and yet alot happened. This show has been a hot mess. |
| Goodbye Amadeus.... :( That last scene was heartbreaking. I love that they use the game's OP song as this episode's ED song. Coincidence? On the original S;G, Okabe said goodbye to Makise on episode 22, now he said goodby to Amadeus at episode 22 as well. It seems like Okabe always sacrifices Makise to save Mayushii. Mezo-RPWPA said: at the end, did he mean he will meet Amadeus again after reaching "that place" or did he mean the original Kurisu? I believe it is for the the original which is Makise Kurisu. Mezo-RPWPA said: Also does anyone know the name of the song at the end? Amadeus by Kanako Ito. The OP song of the VN |

Aquamirror said: It's a book that came out with the Japanese special edition. It also has a FAQ section, some of it was translated on reddit but can't find a link right now. It basically said something in the lines of: Maho still uses western mannerisms and western people are more open to touching/hugging/etc as greetings/goodbye, and the feelings between Maho/Okabe are more of professional/colleagues than a love couple. If you're trying to say that Maho doesn't like Obake romantically, I don't buy it for a second. As for him liking her back at the end of the game, that's certainly debatable. |
 |
| Was this supposed to be sad? I'm sorry, but I don't feel anything for a program. |
 |
Yes, you don't have to feel sad for a program, but it's a matter of perspective. Okabe lost Kurisu, Maho lost Kurisu, Amadeus technically IS Kurisu, not physically but it's an entity that has her memories and IS able to express feelings, HER feelings, HER personality. Amadeus is not just a built in from scrap programmed Kurisu. So Okabe didn't wanted to throw away the ONLY thing that barely exists about Kurisu in that WL.. It's like you lost someone but somehow happens that you have that technology and still can interact with that beloved person just like before, it would hit you hard to AGAIN have to say goodbye. |
SheevPalpatine said: Natsuki_Hyundai said: Well then what the heck was on Okarin's phone in episode 4 if it WASN'T the D-RINE?! What are you talking about? He didn't got anything in episode 4 In episode 4, there was a time where something came up on his phone. He looked at it briefly then moved on with his life, however we- the audience- didn't get to see what that was. It could've potentially been foreshadowing to this, but since Daru was made to be the D-RINE's recipient, it ends up being meaningless instead. |

Maybe Natsuki confuses the episode 4 with episode 16. |

| Guess it's time to read the VN since we won't be getting any closer to the ending |

Might need a VN reader to help with this one ^ Otherwise, I have mixed feelings about the episode. Great second half, okay first half. The parallels when Okabe said goodbye to Kurisu in the early morning in the original Steins;Gate were notable. But what was with that scene of the person wearing sandals, at the tram stop. Was that Mayuri or am I dumb? |
| Clever to have this episode mirror episode 22 of the original, but I feel like because of that there's a massive amount that needs to be wrapped up next week, and it's going to be extremely difficult for the show to pull it off. And if the true ending is actually in that special that probably won't be subbed until next March at the earliest, I won't be best pleased to say the least. |

KOPSSAN said: I'm reading Pluto manga and it has AI Robot characters that have these strong connections within the story and readers themselves. Well, you're comparing to a better writer anyway and a story which focus on it. Still, I can't understand why so many people got emotional over the AI. If he's so hung on having a 2D waifu, isn't it just a matter of gathering Mahou and Kurisu and making it happen again after everything is solved? |
 |
| I've been fangirling over Kurisu/Amadeus through the whole episode! >w< I wonder if she confessed at 20:30? Because that seems like a confession to me. I wish there were more OkaKuri moments! *w* Anyway, just like with Steins;Gate, I think it's better to wait for the entire series to be released, try to stitch the pieces together before deciding wether S,G 0 is logical or full of time paradoxes. So far, there seems to be a lot of them unfortunately. But we have yet to see the bigger picture. |
| Hmm, this was good, and they figured out a plan to allow Mayuri to travel back in time (RIP Amadeus), but I'm really curious to how tf they are gonna end this. Obviously Mayuri going back for the slap is not enough because we need the message from future Okabe. Just gonna have to wait and see. |
| It was really good build up episode, i am curious to see how they will finish in one episode! Okabe and Amadeus's conversation was really heart warming, we saw that Kurisu even inside Amadeus is still how she is, and she sacrificed herself again, but this time she was a program, hope her sacrifice save her original! The farewell was sad, and the smile from Amadeus at the end was so nostalgic, and refered me about first season! We can see at the end, the attraction field line number, i dont remember well, but i think they are still in beta line, maybe we will see something new! I am really hyped to see (and kinda sad for be the last episode) ! |

 Must be a hellish experience for a girl to be treated like that... more so for an experiment-loving loli girl who can be unhygienic at times because of workload and stuffs. Yikes! Worst case scenario If I were a girl, I will do more than just a slap in the face. Even Daru was hit. LOLZ EDIT: Oh, my 400th post/comment. Gotta archive this one. :p |
| No OP and ED I was shocked Okabe was delete Amadeus,can Okabe meet Kurisu again? RIP Amadeus 2K18 |
| As a VN reader I don't know how will they end this in 24 minutes. I don't think they'll end this with MWC end. |

Agree to an extent. It's like the writers forgot about Amadeus and she horned her in the last few episodes. Personally I would change her role to supporting. Reyes could've been developed more by just explaining her motives and DURPA. I thought it was Leskinen and the peace keeping forces that captured okabe? I figured he needed him to go back to meet Kagari. Future Daru happened when Mayuri decided to go back in time to motivate Okabe. It created a new future where Mayuri is not present. xZabuzax said: Meh, this episode was a disappointment.

Reyes could've been developed more by just explaining her motivation and DURPA. Especially since she's technically the second antagonist next to Leskinen. I thought it was Leskinen and the Peace Keeping Force who captured Okabe and sent him back to meet Kagari. Future Daru in the message happened because Mayuri decided to go back in time with Suzuha. It shifted the timeline and Mayuri doesn't exist in the future anymore and changed Daru to come up with OP Archlight. |
