This episode was a little calmer than previouses. Geez, i really missed Okabe and Kurisu together and I'm so happy they can talk! Okabe really like it, maybe even too much, as someone said.
Anyway, great episode. I need more!

There is no Kurisu here.

You fell into the trap Maho was pointing out. That's an AI, therefore Maho best girl.

Also there is literally no way they wont show Seargent Cleaner. Last episode showed Maho's messy desktop, Amadeus told Okabe about Maho's room condition and we saw again her desktop. Also Maho & Nae scenes were great.

Also poor Luka as Leskinen acknowledges him as best girl, but it cant be helped as he is indeed a Japanese Shaman Girl.

Leskinen's engrish is 10/10 as always, also his face after Okabe said "Daga otoko da" is priceless

Happy episode with a christmas party, and then suddenly the PTSD strikes back.

And it looks like Mayuri likes Okabe, but he loves Kurisu.

Also, what does Okabe mean with that he called Kurisu "Chrisitna" becaus ehe couldn't "say it normally"?

In Japan, using given name indicates a close relationship.

He added "-tina" because saying her name directly is embrassing.

Nae thinking Maho was around her own age was priceless.

Leskinen is already showing his love for japanese shaman traps girls.

It's interesting to see how Maho already cares for Okabe in such a short time. It's obvious it's mostly because he knew Kurisu, but I really want to see them grow closer.

Also, Faris talking to Suzuha was pretty interesting too. One of the big differences between the original VN and the 0 VN is that in 0 there are many scenes where Okabe isn't present, and I'm glad it's the same in the anime.

Holy crap that ending. I can't fking wait 7 more days. btw when Okabe screams towards the end, his vision starts to get blurry/trippy. Does that mean he's getting mentally fucked up or does it have something to do with timelines switching? Also when he screamed he sounded like the old Okabe. Goddamn, can't wait to see what happens next

Damn, Okarin is getting some serious PTSD flashbacks right at the end.

I'm really liking the character exploration of Okabe that this series is doing, and its whole "dealing with loss" theme. I'm just waiting untill shit unavoidably hits the fan like on the last series, but this first three episodes have been a very good appetizer.

Maho......in a Santa dress. I think I've found perfection! My life is now complete. =3

And not to forget, Nae was wearing a similar dress to Maho and she looked cute in hers as well, although Leskinen definitely had a lot of fun taking a lot of pictures of the two. ^_^

But there's no denying how this show can make you go from happy to downright depressing so easily. Okabe's interactions with Amadeus Kurisu was really enjoyable, but it still carried a tinge of sadness everytime with it. Their rooftop conversation was a prime example of that and Maho forcibly reminded him about her being dead, which with Okabe's fragile mental well-being, he broke down, the poor guy. D=

Like I said before, I'm still playing the VN and have still have some ways to go before I achieve all endings, so playing the VN and watching the anime at the same time, for me, will be double the entertainment and also the suffering as well.

Overall, my most anticipated show this year is still exceeding my expectations. =D

Man these episodes blow by so fast. I feel like I just need to see what happens next, NOW.

This sequel does such an excellent job of managing to straddle from the light comedic scene to the tragic all the while preserving the sense of dread, that bad things could happen any moment. Love it.

I lol'ed big time when the professor fell for the trap. Classic.


the best part was the embarrassed look he had afterwards and how he couldn't look at her.

My favorite part of the episode just had to be when a lulled Rinataro gets his phone, Amadeus, pulled from his grasps by the end. It was basically a reenactment of what literally happened to him and also us. My heart couldn't be more broken.

Stop that Okabe, it hurts q_q

It's easy to fool yourself into thinking that Kurisu is alive when an AI is representing her personality like this, but this delusion is going to end with him unless he stops, Mayuri is also going through an awful time with Okabe like this.

I wonder what Mayuri heard. If it was just Okabe takling to the wind or Kurisu too... Hmmm...

Maho did warn him that it was easy to be fooled by Kurisu CGI because she isn't exactly an AI and she's right on that aspect.
After those flashback I wonder what wait Okabe ahead. This show seems to be very happy for my taste. Well, Steins;Gate did begin this way too.

Okabe is getting deluded by an AI. It hurts to watch. ;__; I'm still not sure if Mayuri did hear Kurisu's voice from the phone or not, just like from a previous episode. Even Mayuri feels hurt seeing Okabe like this. :(

SG0 deserves many different viewpoints (at least Maho/Mayuri/Suzuha), 'cause this story is decentralised. And this Okabe is too weak, so his viewpoint is optional now. He's not the only one went through a lot of shit, but the only one who resigned. I can imagine Suzuha/Mayuri/Maho acting decisively but not him. Without Hououin Kyouma component he's just invalid "normie", not the hero or protagonist as in SG. Delusive, easily trapped... while the world is cracking'n breaking.

It's an interesting point that we're in the West praising obvious and revealed heroes (as Okakuri for sure), the japanese prefer hidden invisible heroes (all that hidden stuff they call 幽玄 (yuugen)). Due to this SG0 is even more authentic than original one. There're no prizes for Mayuri/Suzuha/Maho at the end but they will do all possible and impossible for Okabe to win and save the world. Let's go girls!

I don't think Mayuri is the type to get jealous. I don't know how much she heard or if she recognized Kurisu's voice, but she's always been very perceptive, and I'm sure that even now she must have some sense of what's going on even without knowing the specifics, and it's Okabe's self-delusion that's making her sad IMO.

Okabe gets more acquainted with the virtual Kurisu while Mayuri organizes a Christmas party for her friends. The friendship moments between the characters are excellent and hilarious to see, as well as that scene between Okabe and Maho in the end. When he begins seeing the virtual Kurisu as the original Kurisu, Maho is pulls him back into reality. Still, that confrontation might help set a bigger plot in motion.

Now that we're three episodes in, I have to point something out. You know how most people think that regular S;G started off really slow (a claim I personally disagree with)? I think that S;G 0 is starting off even slower so far, and if it wasn't riding in on the first class car of a hype train, people'd be more angry with it.

They changed some things around from the VN, which isn't bad in of itself, but I feel like the way things were originally, made it more intriguing early on. There's a lot that we'd know by now if it was the VN, and when that stuff comes into play in the anime it might feel forced without the proper build-up. Still not a terrible show, but it's walking on eggshells for sure.

Great episode. I like how Mayuri makes costumes for everyone since its almost Christmas time and has a party for Suzu as well to cheer her up. I feel bad for Okabe since he's really treating Amadeus like if it really was Kurisu. Also the professor calling Ruka sexy was pure comedy gold I tell you.

Am very excited for the next episode.

I definitely got the feels at the end ;.;
I had a feeling Okabe would get attached to Amadeus, but realize its not the same as having the real Kurisu back. its also interesting that Amadeus is actually showing signs of affection to Okabe, despite being an AI.
also I couldn't stop laughing at the American scientist calling Ruka sexy and Okabe saying "but he's a dude." LOL
