A fine premier episode. It felt the same as the original Steins Gate, which is good. I thought this would be a very different experience.
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.


I think its still ruled as unknown murder. Flashback at first episode of OG, Okabe got out of the building (despite watching kurisu's dead body) suggesting that he just run when he sees the body he decided to just grab mayu and run outside. You can't catch a killer (future okabe) who flew through time, and the killer weapon (knife? I forgot) were probably hidden in the time machine anyway.

It;s funny that you say the original is overhyped, when 0 has 9.19 and rising. :D

S;G ended years ago, its rating is more valid. Lets see where this goes, I predict at least a sub 8 score at the end, although it depends if they keep the superior adaptation that way and fix some weaker parts it could stay a plausible low 9 in the best case scenario.
Anyway suffering and confusion are guaranteed. (:


The S;G movie was pretty bad and still has 8.53 score, no chance S;G 0 is ever going to be sub 8 even if it ends up being a mediocre.

I WAITED SO LONG! And I was scared that I wouldn't like this episode. For nothing, 'cause viewing title about my favorite characters is great. Episode is very good: humor, regret, feelings and madness (bloody Kurisu in Okabe's head). And interesting final. Very promising.

P.S. It's very sad, that Okarin isn't cheerful. (I really love his attitude, as in the first season^^)
P.P.S. tu-tu-ru!

Holy shit...
Fantastic episode, great cliffhanger, I never thought it would be possible to keep up with the quality of season 1, but judging from this first episode, they sure as hell can keep up with it.

On a sidenote, is it just me or is Daru kind of retarded, at least more than in season 1?

I loved the visual novel so much, more than original game... I ever saw that people liked more the drama part of the first season and is ranked 3 so i dont see a problem with this beign the best rated anime in this page, the history is just that good. only problem i see is that they are beginning with vega and altair and i think that rinascimento first would be easier to connect

WE BACK BOIS!

Glad to see they're putting VN OSTs to good use.

Okabe's PTSD was captured quite well, that flashback was terrifying.

As people have already talked about it is kind of different from how the VN starts off, but not in a bad way. I guess it makes sense because in the visual novel the plot kicks in all at once, but here you get some time to remember the charactes that we already knew (and what happened in the past, sort of)

Excited about seeng more about my girl Maho though :^)

Oh, I also loved how they used Amadeus for the ending song in ep1

----------------------------------------
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.
couldnt agree more soo glad this is back up the first few seconds into the show was soo well produced i loved it, revving this up to be the aots possibly even aoty lets go white fox you got this

Just make sure you checked out the missing link OVA (episode 23 beta)
..it's gonna make what's going on clear


Sorry for the misunderstanding. But what i meant by "prequel to 0" i mean the 23 beta ep. With Okabe failing to save Kurisu.

I'm so glad it's back! I thought I'd need to rewatch the first season, but I actually remembered everything pretty well!
Anyway, this was a deeply emotional episode and I loved it. Christina is trying to reach you, Okarin, listen to her.

Just a heads up : If you haven't watched episode 23b( the missing link )...go do that
.. It shows how things ended up the way they are
...even the whole Place wearing a suit thing and the college and stuff (think Maho was shown at the end of that ep as well)

too late bro... I just finished S;G just now and jump right into S;G 0... Regret it now...

I have some questions here:[no spoilers plz ^^]
1. If Daru has brown eyes and the mother has Mayuri like green eyes, how does Suzuha has yellow eyes?[Like Okabe?] They may have been depicted differently in the VN but it still bugs me out.
2. Why was there a chibi Christina in the furture? Or ... hm its probably a spoiler answer.
Let me rephrase: Is this red haired person genetically related to kurisu? hm no that one either. Forget it !
3. Wasnt suzuhas mother in the 25th Epsiode? That was not a schoolmate of Mayuri - somebody messed that up then?

1. Nah, that's just simple genetics! Ever heard of Punnett square? Also, there are recessive and dominant traits which vary from person to person.
2. Nah, don't bother about it.. it's a spoiler.
3. S;G ep 25 is an anime original and not taken from any source material. But anyway, I think she's busy with something in the Steins Gate world line.. or maybe Mayuri and her friends still know her, just that they did not meet in that episode... the different look? It's likely that she's cosplaying. But whatever..

Great start.

Looking like we may get a great series once again.Good to see old characters back.Okabe is great though missing Makise.

Hope the last episode will be o her and Okabe reuniting in the real world timeline.
