A_Haiku_Unloose said: and seems that Suzuha's only role now is fanservice, which is disgusting, because S;G really shouldn't be that kind of show, it had much better attributes. What do you mean by this ? It's clear that she still have a major role in this show. |
 |
| Oh my god this is so good I'm so hyped!!!!! This month has amazing new seasons but this one was just the best first episode. The feels are real, I'm now much more hyped than before about S;G0. |

HyperL said: Lol at everyone saying this is milking and a cash grab. Like, do you even know this is a adaptation of the VN? Are you guys gonna call the VN a milking cash grab as well? Pretty much this. Also people should realize the girls being thiccer was actually how it was supposed to be XD |
 |
| Masterpiece as ever! Legal loli FTW! |
| Hey, I'd like to pose a question in case someone wants to answer. Suzuha told Daru that he shouldn't see the time machine that he will have invented because it would cause a time paradox. Meanwhile, in the original series, he was fixing that very time machine. What's with that? Moreover, if there was a paradox, wouldn't the worldline just diverge to prevent it? |

| Damn I wasn't too sure about a Steins;Gate sequel but this was a lot better than I expected. I'm excited to see where this is going. |
| That daru so fcking lucky. damn i want it too xD So kurisu alive or not? 10/10 |
 |
| Fantastic first episode I am hyped beyond belief that Steins;Gate 0 is out. In December I skimmed through a ~120 page word doc summary of what happens in steins;gate 0 and I am so fucking hyped to see so many things. There's also the VN coming out on steam. I 100% steins;gate on steam and I plan to do the same with steins;gate 0. Really interested what's gonna happen regarding the routes and them being reconstructed as a single route. I'm sure it'll be amazing. The PTSD moment with a flashback to Kurisu dying they were perfect. Best girl Maho appearing was fantastic. Side note Okabe cleans up pretty damn well. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. |

| People already debating about everything in episode 1 Art, directing, atmosphere, even AI, memory, and all that stuff I guess you all should be ready for the messed up things incoming. Confusion awaits lol |

| Ahhh, it's finally here :D I read the visual novel already, but I'm super excited to see it all animated. Anime is handling the adaptation very well so far. The music was so nostalgic. This show already had one of the best cast of characters, and now Maho joins in and makes it even better. Her introduction was even better than I expected. She's awesome :) The ending was hype, and they even played Amadeus at the end! Great song. I hope the OP for this will be just as good. |
| Well now, this certainly exceeded my expectations. |
 |
| I just heard Suzu Hagimura's voice, she's so cute |

| Probably anime of the year right now. |
| Good thing I watched the alternate version of episode 23 just days prior to this. That avoided any disconnect I might had felt outside how depressing it is to see Okabe like this however entirely understandable it is. Overall though, I'm really surprised how easy it was to get back into this even with a new director. Good first episode. |
| Great start, just enough recap and exposition to serve as a refresher. 2010 is already 8 years ago. |

What's with that? Moreover, if there was a paradox, wouldn't the worldline just diverge to prevent it? I think it went something like this: Attractor fields only diverge when it comes to important world changing events such as (WW3 or the Y2k event). However, in the individual worldlines, a sudden change to the past could lead to a ripple effect that could potentially change the outcome of the future. Suzuha wants Daru to go through same the process of building the time machine from scrap without help so that it is completed at a certain date, or else it could affect a number of things such as Suzuha's existence in the current time. Someone should correct me on this if I'm wrong |

| so they showed a glimpse of the future then goes back to the daily life, the encephallitis disease reported early , iirc the talk between suzu and okabe didnt go that rough , that kurisu scene , its more nightmare, okabe meeting maho is as hilarious as ever , the seminar seems to be more dramatic ? my feeling only i guess maybe to close the episode a bit different from the vn but has the same point looking forward for Lintahlo , Leskinen, and Maho |
| Man, that slo-mo transition to Amadeus logo WTF that was EPIC! |

TheServant said: One question I had lingering in my mind while watching this was how come Okabe got out scot-free after killing Kurisu? I would've expected him to be thrown in jail for quite some time. Or maybe the incident was classified as an accident & Okabe deemed to be crazy so he did not get any punishment? Can anyone explain this to me? And if the answer is a spoiler for this series, then please tag it as spoiler. Thank you. It seems like no one found out about the killer of Kurisu so it is still a mystery to the public. Of course we all know how that is. |

| STEINS;GATE IS BACK. YESSSS. I missed seeing Okabe and Mayuri. I missed this entire cast. I like the new clothes they have. Okabe looks good in his suit, although I prefer seeing him in his lab coat haha. Mayuri looking adorable as always <3 I missed Mayuri saying Tuturu xD Loved the first episode. High expectations, did not disappoint. Starting off with a narrative from Mayuri in the future where WW III is happening and her regrets and we then get back to present time. You know Okabe is not doing well when he tells people his name is not Kyouma. The struggle he is going through now, he went through in the past. I heard this season is going to be really dark. So not prepared :'( Nice to see Daru hasn't changed with his online trolling and 2d girls haha. The new character, Maho Hiyajou seemed interesting. Her getting misunderstood for being in middle school and being questioned where she found that id because of her height lmao. "If Daru saw her, he'd shout "Legal Loli for the win" " That quote killed me. Hahahahaha I really hope Moeka isn't bat shit crazy in this beta timeline. How much she triggered me in the alpha timeline. Ughh. That ending scene was great. An AI which preserves human memory as a data with feelings and heart, like a human. Amaedus. Really interested in learning more about this system. Looking forward to getting some focus on Maho next episode. I'm so happy to have this show back. Huge fan of Steins;Gate. One of my all time favorites. Super excited for next week :D |

| havent read the VN, but it seems this is one of those "first ep done right" thingy... and since I didn't read the VN, that OP seems pretty meh comparing to the original OP.. so what's the realtion with the Missing link one? I figure I need to watch that one since that's the prequel, but after credit in missing link, they showed Okabe meets with AI Kurisu already but he still havent meet her here...does that scene like, foreshadowing this series? |

Meanwhile, in the original series, he was fixing that very time machine. What's with that? Moreover, if there was a paradox, wouldn't the worldline just diverge to prevent it? I see 4 possible reasons : 1) It's not the same attractor field (Beta worldine instead of Alpha) : --> Origin of the time machine : The time machine was retro-engineered from a SERN machine in the Alpha attractor field and not built from scratch like in Beta --> Different Suzuha : I think this is shown clearly in a drama CD, but the Suzuha from Alpha and the Suzuha from Beta have different personalities (they had different childhood), and the Suzuha from Alpha (the dystopia) is more ignorant than the Suzuha from Beta. There is no war in the Alpha dystopia, and probably much less violence. In the Beta however the combat is constant and she sees her mother shredded by a combat drone as exemple 2) Emergency aspect : in s&g in alpha Suzuha had 2 days (or 3 ? I'm not sure x) to fix the machine, and she couldn't do it alone. (and I think that the Suzuha from Beta, who was a bit more prepared, should be able to realize basic fix by herself). 3) Identity of the father : she didn't know that Daru is her father before the end of the fixing. Since in the beta worldline there was no time machine race, letting a total stranger (but friend to the heroes of the resistance) looking at her machine was not a problem 4) No future, no present either : in the alpha attractor field, she was going to the past to change the present (and the future). If she succeeded, all would have been rewrited, Daru wouldn't have to fix her machine and so... no problem ! And for the mechanism who prevent paradox by the use of divergence... well... I suppose that is true, but in the explanations in the VN of SG0 Suzuha Beta says that it is not as simple. You can think of her decision like the use of the precaution principle. Without Daru looking at her machine, he is able to create it. So why letting him see the machine and risk a possibly big alteration of the worldline ? There is a risk too that completing too quicly his machine lead a super power to get the plan of it and modify the progress of WWIII. |

| This started so good,but I have to rewatch the last few episodes of the 1st season because I forgot some things. Very Good ! |

| I liked the episode overall. Did watch ep 22 and 23 and 23bis of the original series just to get a refresher. I find it funny how it's December for them (a few months) and 7 years for us. Have to love time travel shows! |
A_Haiku_Unloose said: Great to see the characters again, but other than that, that was not very impressive, also Makise's "theory" is what is basically known about storning memories in the brain today (actually less than what is known today), and I don't see anyone in real world developing an "AI with emotions and memories", 1st ep and already crap pseudoscience? The original was pretty believable unlike this. Okay so a microwave with a CRT sending messages in the past was believable. |

Of course something funky would happen if you connect a phone to a microwave and send messages to the phone while tv is turned on 2 stories under. Makes perfect sense to me. |

| Can somebody explain to me why Feris and Ruka were upset about Okabe going to mixers? |

| Ahhh, I think I need to rewatch the first Steins;Gate cause I've forgotten what happens there. But I'm pretty sure I've got the main ideas to know what caused this timeline to happen. Overall, this is a great start! Got my Steins;Gate feels back and I really can't wait to see the next episode. Really feel bad for Okarin though. |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn...Steins;Gate. Seeing this felt nostalgic especially with Mayuri and the narratives in the beginning. The episode had a moody feel from the beginning but still felt like the previous series. Seeing Okabe dressed in a suit is a nice touch (I still prefer his signature lab coat though). The animation style still feels very familiar to the franchise. Well done so far White Fox. Seems this episode/timeline takes place around the holiday season. It's really nice to see others like Ruka and Faris too. Really glad to also see some humor added in for the episode. It kinda felt like the episode is a setup for rest of the season but this really can get a viewer back into the mood. Daru's personality is still the same as usual lol The psychology is nicely done as expected and I'm glad they captured Okabe's personality and inner instincts pretty well. Man, as a non vn readers i feel this episode discussion thread contains too many vague reference/spoiler of vn.. I just want to see discussion about this episode. No more than that.. hope moderator could delete all of the spoiler here... Btw pretty good start in this anime. Im not hype or anything as based on steins gate 1st season, this anime probably will have rough and slow beginning and will be be really good in the middle or near the end... so, yeah i'd rather not have any big hope and meet with dissapointment.. 8/10 |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
