THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The investigation begins! It's no doubt that Okabe is curious about Shiina Kagi.
There's also a sense of uneasiness about Hiyajo this episode as if she feels that she's in danger.

A rather thrilling episode with some added comedic moments especially with Daru again. Judy's appearance is rather amusing with Hiyajo lol

Another cliffhanger. Kagari...

An improvement from the previous episode, we get less Kurisu time.

I honestly loved the suspense in the end

Kagari here looks much much better than her counterpart in the VN + she actually looks like our beloved Kurisutina.

The introduction of Judy Reyes is better in 0 than the VN, more foreshadowing and suspense.

Oh I am pleased this week.

Definitely better than previous episode as i consider the last episode was the weakest.
They try to build up a bit the tension and the gloomy atmosphere for the next part of the story
faithful adaptation so far

We already knew Kagari would showed up from the hints in the last episode, but this episode still managed to keep me interested and wanting for more.

A very good episode with a really intriguing (although predictable) ending.

I'm still thinking. Is Kagari related to Kurisu? Is there a chance that Kagari IS Kurisu? And many more thoughts.

That's the beauty of a thriller. That's the beauty of Steins;Gate.

This is currently the show with the worst cliffhangers.

5/5 would timetravel to the date where this show ends

The beginning with the psychology of Okabe remembering what she did was good. It is understandable.

The Investigation was rather fast damn, she is a pro. Comedy scenes with Daru, what a lolicon lover. The american teacheris somewhat mysterious. Maho being a tsundere is amusing to watch.

That ending scene was amazing. She is like Kurisu, this makes hard for Okabe. The hint given and Mayuri appearing, damn such nice thrilling moment. That cliffhanger tough.

Great episode again.

Understandable that Okabe can't trust Moeka but she certainly dug up some info. Who else is looking for Kagari?

I loved the part where the Professor was making fun of Maho, it was hilarious. He had her totally figured out. xD

Judy Reyes? Interesting, I wonder what kind of role she''s gonna play in all this.
That chase scene was certainly something and it did kinda feel like someone else was chasing Maho and Judy just showed up at the last moment.

The final sequence with Kagari's reveal was really well done.
Can't wait for more.

So, this is exactly what i expected. This anime will follow 2 of the possible endings in the VN, which so far, the anime discarted the 1st one.

Kagari is alive and now the real thing begins now. No spoilers, just watch and enjoy.

Also the PC game of Steins;Gate 0 was released today in Steam. Go and check it up!!

What an episode! Definitely 5/5

I agree, the last episode was definitely the weakest one. I like how this episode build suspense. The last episode might be the weakest but I think it was necessary build up for this ep. Now that they focused the few episodes on Kagari, I bet they are gonna use the remaining episodes for more plot holes and plot twists.

The last part was definitely my favorite!! I like how Okabe was quick to realize about the Oppa being that old when that Oppa version is from the latest movie. In the VN, Okabe was not that quick to realize and had to do a lot of thinking. I am beginning to tell that Okabe is going to be focused on the next few episodes.

I just can't get over the last part! That level of suspense from the Oppa, to Kagari fainting to Suzuha arriving, and everyone just looked at Suzuha while Mayushi being the last one to look at her...it was that intense! Best episode so far!

The animation is getting better, and they're doing such a great job adapting the story... It's only been 5 episodes and I'm already thinking it was worth the wait. Now I'm almost certain the anime is going to have an original ending, so cool.

Engrish 10/10


I knew there was going to be a cliffhanger, although I thought it was going to be when Kagari showed up. I didn't expect for her to have amnesia, but atleast Suzu finally found her.

Someone was following Maho...can't whait for the next episode.

This is getting better and better. The mistery thickens with the Kurisu clone. Loving it.

We got some Lintarough Engrish as a bonus too.

Excellent episode. So much Maho, great build up, definitely an improvement from episode 4.

Also LOL at Daru with Maho-tan.

As a VN reader, plotwise I am very satisfied with those first 5 episodes, to the point where I am not even able to say what could have been improved. Good work.

Say whatever you want about Moeka, but you can't deny she's good at what she does.
Poor Maho, having to deal with Leskinen and Reyes. Those two are so funny, but it must be hell working with them.

And seriously, who would think Kagari girl looks like Kurisu after seeing her chest area?

Every episode we get close to

A lot of it is just hype, but if things go the way they have been going, It having a 9 average wouldn't be overrated. What makes S;G 0 inferior isn't really the character development or the plot as much as the structure and pacing of it. There are a few vague plot points that I do hope they address, but so far this adaption has been solid. Who knows, the anime might end up better than the original source with the changes they've made structurally.

The events from this episode took quite a while in the vn, so I'd say it's rather condensed. Not a filler at all, buddy - rather a pretty well-done adaptation that skipped some boring scenes.

May the force be with you, Okabe. XD

This episode knows how to leave things on a cliffhanger again, just to toy with our emotions. Kagari has now made her appearance and before she and Ruka could explain about her amnesia, Mayuri arrives and Kagari faints shortly after laying her eyes on Mayuri. Cue Suzuha's arrival and she too is shocked of seeing Kagari in front of her.

As for Maho, the poor girl just can't get away from being "shipped" with Okabe. Even Reyes got in with the act by asking Okabe in English if he was dating Maho! Besides, blushing Maho is best Maho. =3

The drama will continue into the next episode as it should shed light into Kagari's situation. Now comes another 7 days waiting for the next episode. >.<

Isnt it nice to actuallly see a teaser for the new year party at the shrine instead of seeing the shrine all over again like on the divergence point, the xmas no-party and the new year party.
The anime really hates the shrine, but i also prefer it this way.
#noloveforshrines

Weakest episode as expected, but glad how much Maho we got and its interesting that Reyes got the same screentime as in the VN. It gives me some hope for episode 7 which will be interesting, while next week is just going to be Orbital Eclipse, so another weak chapter being done then. Still 5/5.

I don't remember the details in the VN but the anime portrays Okabe's internal struggle so well.

man, this episode feels so short with only 2 important things happening: introduction of another professor and shiina kagari meet the lab members.. and both of them smell fishy...

i am really suspicious that either of the professor or kagari will be an antagonist for this series..

oh, and whats up with Leskinen Japanese Shaman Girl Meme? i dont really get it and does it involve any spoiler?

Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^

I had a feeling she was going to be with Ruka. They did a good job to still make it feel suspenseful. It is weird that she looks so much like Kurisu. Given all the sci-fi future stuff in Steins;Gate, I doubt it's just a coincidence. Potentially some people are following Maho. Not sure what that could be about.
