| Pretty boring episode. Rukako's death was over-dramatic, and I'm really tired of seeing Okabe worse and worse. |
 |
| Pretty good episode overall. The moments with Okabe meeting everyone else in the future was very entertaining to say the least. rip Ruka Hoping White Fox can nail the final 3 eps given how mediocre this adaptation has been for the most part. |

xZabuzax said: This was supposed to be a "feels" episode but I couldn't feel a thing when Ruka/Luka died so something went wrong with the direction or the presentation, the music wasn't that touching either.. That's strange. I cried at his death in the VN, and in the anime, too, but I'm not really a fan of Lukako. |

| 2036 Ruka was so cool! |
rakka_tsuki said: Wow this was such a "wtf" episode. Loved it. My thoughts exactly! It was so cheesy at some parts ( even funny! ) but I still loved it |
animejas said: This was terrible. I couldn't even give a shit, and it actually pains me saying that since I fucking love Steins;Gate more than my family. this is a big mood! |
| I really liked Ruka-ko's transformation! That was such a omg moment! Ruka grew up to be so badass, defeating so many soldiers and still standing after taking so many bullets until Okabe and gang arrived. Wow!! Rukako you have my respect. But I still don't understand... How did they overwrite Okabes memory with time leap machine again? |
| PR is finally here. Lukako such a badass Shaman Samurai Trap. Next episode seems like the most awaited . |
 |
| I should have known that the Time Leap machine wouldn't work on the first attempt, as that would have been far too easy. Even so, the jump to 2036 was not what I was expecting to happen instead, but logically I should have seen it coming considering how Okabe was motivated in the original Steins;Gate. Everything that then happened in 2036 was really well-executed and did a really good job of breaking Okabe down before providing him the motivation to try all over again. It's going to be an interesting final few episodes, to say the least. |
Ah ok, thanks. That explains it. |

| Goddamn Rukako became an even greater trap in 2036. I knew Hiyajo wouldn't age but Farris-nyan looking the same since 2011. She must be some sort of fairy. |

Everything that is happening right now blew your mind in the VN but here people are like "meh". Clearly the director isn't doing the material justice |

| I often have the feeling this new series was written by some corny 14-year-olds for 12-year-olds. The newest episode’s just enhanced this assumption of mine. Future!Daru was a pleasant surprise and the ending was interesting, I can give these two. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Average episode for me. This world doesn't look like that it suffered a WWIII at all Ruka's role in this episode was an overused one with him sacrificing himself in order to save his friends. It supposed to be an emotional scene in the end but it didn't work due to that reason |
| So Ruka is apparently a badass in the future. I remember this part from the visual novel but it never really registered so I guess they did a good job animating it. Akiha/Feyris surprisingly enough looks even better than before even though she's suppose to be over 40 now. Can't say I don't appreciate it. The episode itself was pretty good but if they have the time leap machine, why not just go back a few hours and save Ruka. Or save every single person in this way since they apparently had it all along. Anybody can use it, you don't even need to remember the world lines. Overall though, the anime was pretty much a disappointment since it's clear at this point that they won't be animating any of the great scenes from Maho's route and probably nothing more from Moeka either. I'll still wait for the last few episodes before deciding on a final score though. |
 |
| I'm really disappointed with how the story develops in the last 3 of 4 episodes and Okabe is being a pain in the ass which is getting annoying. |
Really? Almost everything in Akiba is ruined, didn't you see? |
| - |
Woah I didn't know rukako could be in 3 places at once |
| Nice, finally a second good episode. |
| OK episode. I can't help but feel that Luka's death was more meaningful in the VN. Here it seems forced and more like an excuse to give motivation to Okabe to use the time leap machine. Maho's appearance didn't shocked me, but what about Faris? She's 43 here and still finishes her phrases with "nyan" and uses those cat ears... |
| the most "wake ga wakaran" anime that i ever seen -_-. |

We are talking about WWIII here! 2011 HELLO nukes, advanced weapons, and technologies, etc.. what we saw is your basic war ruins |

| How old is Ruka in this episode ?! 25 years passed but he still look young and still a trap |
| Amazing episode. This is WWIII. Feyris have the same appearance in the future lol. Ruka is dead :( |

lol I pirated the whole game/franchise and played SG zero after ep 3 (anime) was out |
| Relative to ep 18/19 gorey swashbuckling kagari and suzuha, ep 20 improved a bit. But, relative to VN, somehow it didn't. For instance, this. Dem feet.  I think I'll agree with some previous comments that it wasn't good that they changed this into a daytime scene. When Okabe woke up in VN, it was such a dreadful and ominous feeling that I was able to experience (both for Okabe and me). Here, I won't say my feelings were disconnected because I played the VN already, it's just that it did not register well even though the voice-acting was good. Seems like it has something to do with the audio, or as mentioned earlier, the "daytime" change, and some visual tweaks to induce a more relaxing atmosphere. Darkness is a real motivator. Suspenseful moments submerged into darkness is not just a plot device to instigate fear of an adversary, because when darkness surrounds, it's actually the fear of the unknown. I have the feeling the VN directed me to feel this way: with darkness comes the eerie red lighting; the crazy wind blowing as if signaling an unknown turbulence which is yet to happen; the wild dogs going "wild" with their meal beside a mountain of corpses; and the lingering weakened state of Okabe wherein he should not be able to get up that easily and walk up on his own after a couple of minutes - these are scenarios that can be amplified better when situated along a stream of darkened surroundings. |

Yeah its a very important factor in building the atmosphere. At least he still woke up in a dark room, so at least i didnt feel like the beginnining was any weaker. It just dropped fast to an rather mysterious than suspenseful unknown feeling once he got outside. Till the brightness became rather annoying as i hoped to see the time progressing at least to see a crimson sky, but it stayed the bright sunny hell. BulletKing said: I'm not even comparing anythign to the VN anymore. I thought this was pretty well adapted. Ruka looked girlier than what I remembered but still pretty cool. Okabe gonna leap 245213523 times now, just the thought of that is scary. We only saw Luka's back in the VN and it did rather look like his normal self as they didnt bother making him an proper future design. Kinda like Faris didnt age either, but this fits her character. They took her 2025 design as she didnt have one in PR either as a side character, but she's perfect as she is anyway xD So this is at least something that the anime improved as i rather like this design and they did show him manlier in action. thepath said: How old is Ruka in this episode ?! 25 years passed but he still look young and still a trap August 30, 1993 is his bday. So he was 16 in S;G and 17 in 0. He should be therefore 41~42 in 2036. It fits well. |

| Rukako damn that 180 change. Both are cute tbh but omg this Rukako has this cool aura tbh. Okabe looks so old, the timeline so destroyed. That scene where they showed his tortured body was depressing. Makes me wonder who got tortured worse, Kagari or Okabe. In Kagari’s case they really made the her cell look so creepy and disturbing, to show how much she got tortured. Tho i did like when Fayris hugged Okabe. Not everyone likes her but tbh I really like her cheerful personality whenever she’s with Okabe. The ending is so much hype. His look as he says he’s gonna give it one more try time machine. |
 |
| This is the first episode of the series that felt like the original series. Might be too little too ate to save this anime though. |
| Instead of going to the past, he went to future! oh man Rukako! The pain and suffering is eternal! This episode was EPIC! 5/5. |
