I really hope this goes well. At this point I am personally not worried, they did everything right and ended on a high note most of the time. They fixed plot holes and messy points plus explained them in the anime. Plus, if they extended the edning chapter Milky Way Crossing, then it will be fine.They are also using the Arc Light drama CD which has moments that will shock the viewers. While I can see some direction differences that, overall, make this series look a bit more "generic", so to speak, the story so far has been nice. Since things have now gotten into motion, it looks like the next few episodes will have a lot going on, and I hope thet they explain A LOT more about Kagari's character and origins, especially the fact that she looks like Kurisu, because if she isn't related to her that would have been one MASSIVE red herring. |

I'm trying to decide, would that be better or worse than Daisy Ridley looking like she could be Natalie Portman's granddaughter? Though in this case I kinda figured it was more likely to be a red herring from the start. Trying to keep in check my expectations for cool stuff, you know. I guess I'm most interested in whether she ever meets the gang in the Steins;Gate line, though. |
| Story : i like how the script is going and i'm still kinda confused on did mayuri and suzuha escape or they are super dead ? "D Voice acting : amazing as usual , okabe voice actor is great Animation : The directors without a doubt have no idea on how to make a fighting scene but other than that the animation was really good and i like SG 0 animation and the fighting scene wasn't that bad that it makes me hate a 18 episodes animation ! keep in mind that the original steins gate didn't really have a lot of fighting scenes to judge either |
| The universe has a beginning, but no end. — Infinite. The stars too have beginnings, but their own power results in their destruction. — Finite. It is those who possess wisdom who are the greatest fools. History has shown us this. You could say that this is the final warning from God to those who resist. |
| Suzuha beat the teacher. "Suzuha stop or you will be like him" But Suzuha kill alot of ppls before. Don't make sense... anti-climax scene. |
| I just want to say this was an amazing episode! |
 |
| I know this episode is supposed to be a big deal with shit hitting the fan but i simply couldn't enjoy it. I felt like the impact of such dramatic scenes were handled way better in the first season. A big factor that played a role in me not being able to enjoy it is probably the production and animation, this is one of the most important scenes of the season isn't it ? Why are you not pouring a lot of budget into this episode ? The fight that went down on the rooftop was basically a still fest, barely had any animation... really disappointing, considering this is the flagship series of White Fox. I was worried when they changed the director and now my worries are confirmed. Could have been so much better. Devil_Slayer said: It's weird how S;G is such popular anime yet they can't afford to make 1-2 good fighting scenes? So much truth. |

VinnyLam said: In the previous episodes, they were building Daru up to be an impressive character, but this episode ruined that. I think its because Suzuha is punching unarmed Leskinen over and over for his suffering, she even said "it's too early to get knocked out", which is an act for a revenge to Kagari's suffering. If she killed him when he's still armed then its different, Daru maybe won't complained, like how she killed the armed two soldiers that hostaging him and Maho, he didn't bat an eye. Killing an unarmed person compare to armed person are two different things, I think that's how it is in Daru's head. |

| I felt like I pretty much knew Leskinen was going to be a bad dude, but even though it seemed kind of predictable it still made sense the end was also really sad, I teared up this was also the first time in Zero where Okabe was about to go back in time again with no hesitation, Hououin Kyouma has almost made a comeback B) |
| Jeez this episode was such a load of nonsense >_> 1 girl killing X trained soldiers because apparently brainwashing gives you superpowers. Gunshots stopping midfight cause characters need to talk. Lack of emotional purposefulness in the direction - killing, dying, plot revelations all mixed up. Not picking up a gun, so your adversary may pick it up later. If you shoot X soldiers it's okay, killing professor is morally wrong though. Exposition Daru holding some random iron bar so we know it's time machine part for sure, because it's hard to convey that visually apparently. I don't even care about sloppy (lack of) animation but something was plain wrong with the direction, especially after really good two previous episodes. To much of "I shoot you! - No, I shoot YOU!". How did that heli entered Japan's air territory. Do you need so much action to show the stakes? It just betrays the tonality of the series. I laughed when it was supposed to be serious, because of the ridiculity. SMS convenient timing when Mayuri is some lump of meat lying on the pavement. I surely feel the power of her resolve now xD Goddamit, yes i needed 18eps of Okabe's motivation and Leskinen being totally-not-shady-at-all to finally get some time travel teased. |

| 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. |
~ sXeblues - Reviews on Youtube ~ |
| 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 ;___; |
| allo |
| The saga of Stormtrooper aim continues... Dodging automatic rifle fire from 10 guns at a distance of like 10 feet |
join the hyper going home club!  |
| 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 :) |
