| Since the majority of you is praising this anime, here's the unpopular opinion. Steins;Gate 0 is pretty shitty, this piece of crap doesn't even come close to Steins;Gate which is an amazing anime. Steins;Gate 0 is just a shitty side material to please the fans in my eyes and don't get me started with that shitty action scenes and Kagari. |

| Yeah no not even close Zero is good but it's crap compared to the original series. The pacing was a mess, Okabe was genuinely annoying for the first half, really weird action scenes, and it took forever to get to the actual plot and reason for the creation of Zero. Maho Hiyajo was truly the only good thing to come out of Zero as I loved her character and I want to see more of her (especially interacting with Okabe and Kurisu) on top of that a few cool and memorable moments but that's it honestly Zero doesn't compare to the original. |
| The pacing and cut content from the VN are the worst offenders IMHO, the mixing of the routes could have been handled way better (They even dared to put a "filler" episode FFS). There were also some really weird and cringy changes/additions to the script (Ep 17/18). Leskinen character got butchered: his motivations in the anime were changed and his dialogues and mannerism felt too cartoonish, the director messed up big time. The actions scenes were laughable and sometimes straight up made no sense. I could suspend my disbelief in the VN but the anime managed to be so much worse it's not even funny. I could go on forever but my point is that each one of these flaws is not that bad on its own but once everything adds up it becomes a mess. |

| Steins;Gate (the original Anime) is a masterpiece. All the little details in the first half culminate in its second-half, and there's less than 30 minutes of filler. [SPOILER FOR 0] Steins;Gate 0 is NOT a masterpiece. Allow me to discuss the 3 problems people have with it: 1) Maho. I think Maho's an alright addition to the cast, and since Kurisu is gone, someone has to fill that hole. 2) Amadeus. Amadeus is also fine. The whole purpose of its existence is to give Okabe some hope, before crushing it again. Despite being a plot device, it's fine. 3) Kagari. Kagari is my problem with S;G. It's all a bad retcon. I find it hard to believe that Suzuha would just forget about Kagari if she knew about her in the original, since that would've been part of her mission. That being said, episodes 19-23 are 100% worth the mid-drag of 0. Holy shit, those episodes are all masterpieces. Not on par with S;G Episodes 12-14 + 23, but damn near close. |

| Valid, but the OG just hits different than this one in a visual storytelling perspective. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| I think I gave 9/10 for SteinsGate and 3/10 for SteinsGate0. It was solidly bad in every aspect I can imagine. |
ammaarboy said: Thoughts about my take? I enjoyed 0 just as much as the original, which is a LOT. but it is EXTREMELY flawed. there is so much wrong with it. from it's much, much weaker directing, to how garbage the so called villain was to terrible animation in some episodes to a ton of cheap use of shock value to every new character except the legal loli being just bad to unexplained plot points, THERE IS A LOT wrong with 0. but there is one thing, the best parts of 0 are actually as good as the original. it's just that the worst parts of 0 are kind of dog shit. let's just say the og steins gate was a 10/10 through and through. but 0 could have been anywhere between a 3/10 to a 10/10 purely based on what episode you're watching. |

| I like both series, are different and I appreciate them for what they are, movie is also great. |
 |
| The original series is so complete and well made its hard for me to give it the equal treatment as it is very different from the main story and what made it so amazing. The character development is more limited as the original has fleshed out most of the main characters almost too well and 0 has to focus mostly on Oakrin, Mayuri and the new characters that are not as interesting overall. It still is very good, but the main series just is at a different level that's almost unmatchable. The story also has some and can sometimes feel very confusing at points. It just cannot match it, but I think it is a impactful series ending that needs to be watched if you watch the original. It is really good at filling in some of the what ifs and that ending might be better then the original. |
