| I feel like the new director is falling flat on their face so far with some of that classic, low-budget anime goodness (ex. the many close-ups), versus how regular S;G was with its off the wall stuff. Even the person whom I'm watching this with thinks that it looks stilted compared to the previous anime. But according to the Anituber Chibi Reviews, he says that the direction isn't that much different and feels "just like OG Steins;Gate". Tbh I'm a complete noob when it comes to cinema, so I'd like some additional thoughts on this aspect of S;G 0. |
| Ehh, It's still miles better than your average modern anime production and that's what matters most. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| My guess is that they’re saving the animation for later for the juicy and good parts. |

| You can easily tell this by looking at how many production companies worked on the first season, compared to Steins;Gate 0, it only has Nitroplus. I have found that usually when an anime has a lot bigger staff, the overall quality is better. It is not hard to tell tbh, all you would have to do is go back and rewatch the origial Steins;Gate and you could tell the difference in quality. Not saying 0 is bad or anything because it’s way too early to tell. And I agree with what others have said, the animation still looks a lot better than most other anime airing right now. |
Franck_Nicolas said: The animation is indeed really cheap, even compared to the first anime. But it s not a lack of skill, they clearly didn t had enough money. There are a lot of non moving pictures and the characters don t move when talking. I don t think it will get better in the next episodes. You are only the second person noticing the bad animation I agree about the money. I'm sure the team cares deeply about S;G but the higher-ups probably viewed the anime as a cash cow so they were given the bare minimum amount of money to work with. HibiChika said: all their budget went into the opening. like hell it did. is this persona5 v2? do yourself a favor and read the vn instead. Don't worry; I played the VN. Otherwise I wouldn't simulcast this show. |
| I think they try to keep up with the atmosphere of the original S;G was never known for it's animation or graphic And i'm a bit confused here Ciinematography skill =/= Animation quality As long they can still maintain the mood "This is still Steins;Gate" then i'm good A good example of where visual is important in anime is like this season SnS Hell, i'm feel like watching slide show But S;G is about emotional atmosphere at the very least, so i'm pleased with the directing so far |
| I don't really see much of a huge problem. Hyper-detailed backgrounds or sparkly things moving all over the screen isn't really needed. My guess is that your issue stems from the show using close-ups to emphasise the relatively mild emotions Okabe displays, after all it needs to make sure the entire show isn't too static. In addition, Okabe isn't a lively mad scientist anymore, so you don't have that to entertain you. What part of the animation in the original could you bring to this? They did well to show their animation off by taking advantage of an eccentric Okabe in the original, but none of that can be applied here. Frankly they are doing pretty well in ensuring dialogue scenes of a relatively mellow and quiet cast of characters aren't stale. TokiWoKezuru said: Indeed, and frankly I think they did rather well shifting from the lively Okabe with exaggerated movements to close-ups that highlights the emotions of a milder Okabe.It's funny how close-ups, cutaways etc. are such powerful tools in movies used for dramatic effect, portraying emotions, showing a detail and so on and so forth, but when they're used in anime it's just "cheap" and "low-budget" and "bad animation". |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I certainly feel like it has less of an identity compared to the first, and I would say the overall production is indeed lower, but it still portrays the situation and characters very well I think |
| Surely, it's suffering a bit from a low/tight budget. Steins;Gate had like 5 producers, but 0 has only Nitroplus itself. It's obvious. |

| I think its ok, im fine with the art and animation, what really matters is how will they execute the story the directing is still good since its still the beginning , im still worried in the later episodes |
| Not sure why people are having a problem with S;G 0's visual direction. If anything, the original anime has more off-model character designs when shown from far away. S;G 0 has been more on model, though a large factor to this is the somewhat limited animations. That being said, S;G 0 has been just dialogues so far, so there's not many moments that need a lot of animation effort going towards it. Background artwork is also quite fine too. I think people are confusing "atmosphere" for animation. The amount of effort put into S;G 0 is similar to the original, but the atmosphere in the two series are quite different, making S;G 0 have a different visual feel to it. S;G 0's atmosphere is intentionally different though, and it changes more and more throughout the story. |

The only reason I even know it's winter in this show is because you now and then see the characters walk around wearing trench coats and scarfs. The show rarely ever tries to build a winter-y atmosphere, through its visuals and sound design, unlike what the first series did with summer. This ain't no "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" either (the best depiction of winter I've seen in any anime). THAT is how you do atmosphere AND integrate it into your story, to depict certain emotions, like the feeling of emptiness, depression, and loneliness, which are often associated with winter. S;G 0 missed the opportunity to get that across about Okabe by not doing much with the atmosphere. At least as of episode 3 anyway. |
xZabuzax said: I think it was meant to be CGI, as it was described to be so in the VN. But this episode 3 is just meaning to show that Okabe started to alucab said: They made her CG on purpose because Amadeus kurisu is supposed to be portrayed as a 3d model in the app. They show her in 2d when they show actual Kurisu. The thing is, the "actual Kurisu" is the amadeus AI which appeared in 2D on some parts, you can clearly see her in 2D in Okabe's phone. . At least that's what I believe is the reason for that. |

probably a little too late to the party in noticing yet another blunder, but damn quality;control-gate really needs to pay more attention to details. since when did kurisu have 6 fingers? another sing the production team doesn't even give a gelshit about the success of this anime since they take the past adaptation's accomplishment for granted. |

Wow XD maybe it s another timeline where kurisu grew another finger? rofl |

Woah nice find there, can't believe they made that amateurish mistake in the opening, even though I love Steins;Gate (best anime ever!) I'm a little bit worried for Steins;Gate 0 because of stuff like this. Who should be blamed for errors like this, the new director? There's also another error in episode 2, it was Maho login screen on her computer, her login name had a typo in it. Yeah, this is worrying... |
| Well, it's not like I loved first Steins;Gate because of animation (which was pretty average as well). It's not THAT different to be honest. And I wonder, I'm the only one who actually likes closeups? I'm fine with things like this as long as it's not 3DCG. And about Kurisu in/as Amadeus - 3D model feels right in this case and it meant be like this imo. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| It is completely fine and enjoyable so far and I'm sure it will become better in the next episodes or maybe in the blue-ray release. I almost dropped the original one at episode 2 then it became one of my top 10 shows so I think you should give it some time. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| It's obviously going to take a hit without Hamasaki's directorial flair. Dude's a god. But uhh, it's serviceable so far. |
