THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Saw it online today.

It starts off with Alexis talking to Maho which is a bit awkward considering what happened between them in the main series. However, this OVA is more of a standalone so that's different. Looks like a good amount of characters returned including Kagari.

Tons of comedic moments in this Valentine special. A party to celebrate Valentine! Rip microwave I thought that Ruko in a cat maid outfit is god damn priceless LOL. Speaking of maids, a lot of them appeared too. There's also some extra scenes at the end after the credit song. Neat to hear the opening theme song for this show again for sure.

Pretty amusing OVA overall imo.

It was okay, it had their funny moments but it was mostly fanservice like Rukako in cat maid. It made me laugh but I this episode can be easily skipped unless you want to chill a bit with this dramatic series.

The OVA was alright, but nothing special. The only "worth it" part was the post-credits scene with Maho and Kurisu. This had a lot of potential. First, it could've been done in the Steins;Gate world-line, where all the good characters are alive, meaning we'd have both Maho and Kurisu. Second, it would've been fun to see their friendship, since all we got in the anime was flashbacks, unlike one of the routes in the VN where we see them trick the female professor, which was the best. Third, how can you make a Valentine's special without Okabe and Kurisu, the core ship?

This clearly wasn't meant to be a serious episode, but why waste it like this? Sure, making chocolates for that someone special is worrying, but I'm sure not only the girls should be anxious about it. Okabe was neutral throughout the whole episode when we could have had some angst of "damn, I wish Kurisu was here" and Daru was just playing games when he has his future wifey as his girlfriend. Leskinen was just there for the lols and had no real purpose.

What I can save from this was fangirling over Suzuha and Faris, their Linear Bounded Phenogram storyline being the reason. But all-together... well, this didn't deserve to be the last piece of anime we got from Steins;Gate.

I was hoping for more story but just hearing that op and ed again was fine for me. This was more of a episode 12.5-13.5 since it touches on before Kagari left and then at the end they implied that she was already gone. Does anyone know if there is any more story to be realesed? Or was that just a final slap in the face lmao.

Special episode but wasn't any special tbh. I really darn wished this could been something different since this will be the last time we would see S;G characters. Okabe/Daru had only minute screen time while watching other characters like Kagari makes it hard to believe whatever happens on the later episodes.. Speaking about fanservice I seriously disliked how they approached fanservice on the s;g o by huge margin compare to the original, which felt more organic.

Fun episode!

Kurisu’s quote, “To be a Scientist is to be a true Romantic”, xD she sure is proud of herself making such quotes! Lots of other hilarious moments throughout, I certainly didn’t expect such an episode but it was nice to see all the girls gather up and make Valentines Chocolate together. Lol, Daru and Okabe conversation there was cho-very hilarious! Daru’s jealousy when speaking of Mayushii and Kagari and then Suzuha’s ‘bruh’ expression was spot on and hilarious! Professor Leskinen at the beginning there, he must be a Japanophile for sure. Speaking of Suzuha, lol, her delusions at the start were ridiculous! Poor Faris though, lol. Final segment with Maho-tan there was a little saddening, I must say. I’d loved to see a shot of Okabe receiving the Chocolates but too bad they didn’t show even a single shot of him, at least we got shots of pretty much every other character.

Honestly, I thought the episode would be more focused on the plot or at least of Christmas since it’s almost that time of the year but this wasn’t half-bad. Just the timing of it is off, wouldn’t it have been more appropriate to release this Special sometime in the second week of February? But well, it’s always nice to see something from this superb franchise!

This is mainly because the BD/DVD's are released by volumes, and 21 Dec was the day vol. 6 (final) was to be released.

It is clear that the story not really related to the main story. It is about friendship afterall, fun enough also.

The last scene is the most exciteness and also sadness to me, because of the deep regret of Maho to Kurisu because of her sudden death, that she too slow to understand the meaning of giving things in order to celebrate the Valentine's day.

By the way, I wonder if there is any sequel from the main story that similar to the first Steins Gate like, Steins Gate 0 The Movie, instead of this.

I hope there is a second ova or a steins gate 0 movie with a better ending, because this ova has been for me, personally, a garbage full of fanservice. Only the final scene that is very emotional is saved.

Where is the main plot? And the characters that we wanted together, what happens.

Disappointed to have waited so long, to receive this.

Lots of funny and hahahahaha moments, but, main plot please..?



it's a special episode , the main plot and the main story is finished by episode 23

why you people expect so much from ova ? usually the ova have no impact on the main story

I really liked the new season so thought might as well watch the OVA. But that was rather dissapointing. The comedy felt very stale, really wasn't feeling any of the jokes and the whole thing felt very forced with the Valentine's theme ... 5/10 and left bad aftertaste for a really good season.

The OVA starts before the first half ends, but ends before the second half starts. It makes sense.
