Can’t say much but isn’t it because of the plot armor aspect of the show?

I loved Steins Gate 0 too, but I still prefer the original more since I feel like 0 has a few more episodes where nothing really happens in it. So it's lows are lower than S;G, but it's highs are just as high imo

I mean the lack of plot armor. As I’ve remembered, Kurisu rescue op was still hopeless right because of the timeline thingy? I guess audiences hoped for a happy ending because they’ve developed an emotional connection with the heroine (i.e simping).

I can’t call it hate rather the appropriate word is...what’s the word...”overly sentimental”?

It’s been years I’ve watched it, so yes I’d need a proper correction if ever I’m spouting nonsense.

I enjoy slice of life animes so I did enjoy the first half of S;G , but at least the episodes did progress the plot a fair bit in them and hinted and foreshadowed the dangers of manipulating with time. But like what was the point in that one episode of 0 where they just cleaned up Maho's room, or when Suzuha made Daru try to be a Chad. Just overall Steins;Gate 0 episodes often went up and down with the middle fifth of the series where nothing really happens whilst with Steins Gate the slow part is only for a little at the very start

tbh the suzuha trying to make daru a chad was funny and i appreciated the epsiode well for that, idk about maho its just odd funny for some reasons

Like others have said, watching it all at once (original plus the alternate episode plus zero) all at once really enhances the experience as opposed to watching the original years ago, being loaded with nostalgia, and then watching zero. I’m a huge S;G fanboy and I like both!

Been a little while since I watched them both, from what I remember 0 had a lot more comedy that didn’t exactly hit with me, lessened the stakes some. Given it tries to be a dark what if scenario, they didn’t mesh well imo.

I have mixed feelings about it, felt kinda unnecessary; not bad tho, just a bit pale compared to the og
it actually is pretty necessary considering it gave more context on the okabe who sent the dmail to the older one, even tho in the middle they kinda added fanservice stuff it continued beautifully after

I view S;G0 together with the original, so I like them both, though they do each have a different feel to each other.

I never remembered someone hating this, more like the opposite.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

It was good, but it didn't quite live up to Stiens;gate for me. I didn't like most of the new characters as much as the original. I didn't like the romance between Mayuri and Okabe. In the first series they just felt like really close friends, much more closer to a brother sister relationship. I probably misinterpreted it, but it did make me not like 0.

The ending was fucking awesome though.

idk if you interpreted the mayushi letter as a real love letter or not but there was no romance between them, mayushi didnt want to see okabe suffer anymore and it hurt her so much that the old hououin kyouma is gone leaving a depressed person and since she heard about the truth she wanted herself to be of use and bring back the real okabe by doing what must be done, the care between them is strong and i appreciated it alot, about the other characters maho was fine and atleast had a personality on her own, kagari tho i give you that she's a plot device

its been a while since i watched the anime but by plot armour is it referring to some of the more action-based scenes that just occur but are disrupted by some other characters?

there was that one scene where some soldiers raid okabe's laboratory apartment (much like how SERN did in the og series) before they all just ran because the landlord came to defend his daughter and then another where okabe, haru and hiyajo just get caught by some random foreigners in an alleyway before some other foreigners come in and break some laptop they had, but then again sometimes plot armour might not be as obvious unless if youre paying attention to it so its probably subjective

could it also be because of how random kagari was as a character in the story considering that she somehow had assassination skills that none of the other characters had during one of the last episodes to a point where its even more unrealistic than how most physical fights were in the series in general lol

idk if any of this is wrong because ive only binged the anime once in less than half a week (much like most other animes i watch pretty much) so feel free to correct me if i got some information wrong

Seems like I'm the only one who didn't like 0.

First, S;G is more than a favorite series to me, so I'd love to see more of what I loved with the same cast and all that stuff.

But after a few episodes, the harsh slap of reality made me realize this is not S;G. LBP also has a different approach to S;G, and you can still get that S;G feel from this.

But 0 doesn't feel like anything. I liked the loli girl and how they gave some space to our girl Mayushi, but no one in 0 is a lab member. Everyone is just an empty shell of their former past.

0 wasn't fun to watch, and I guess the "who taught the song" episode wraps everything up nicely: Every character in 0 is running circles with decisions and story elements that are painfully dumb and alien to the series' atmosphere.

There's no balance between comedy and drama in the show, either. Not only does it fall flat on the comedy side, but the show also doesn't know when to use the comedy trigger to lighten up the situation.

The entire thing to me felt like a cheap adaptation of a loose idea that didn't have enough potential in the first place

As someone who still enjoyed Steins Gate 0, I very much agree with your points.

The original (due to a strong source AND a strong team for the adaptation) knew how to balance drama and comedy. They failed in 0.

Some of them, altho I knew it was like that in the vn I feel its appropriate to make changes. I mean they made plenty of changes in other parts of the story, why not do it with these scenes that don't mesh well together?

Whover reads this to the end, I salute you lol.

I guess it has to do with Steins Gate 0 having such a strong start that started to drag with no purpose then eventually picked back up again.

There are plenty things to be disappointed with in Steins Gate 0. Their adaptation of the plot is strange and just doesn't connect well. I still have no idea why they didn't just adapt all the routes linearly instead of picking pieces from each one and hoping they all fit together in one timeline. If Higurashi's anime can do it, and even Yu-No's anime can do it.. then surely Steins Gate can, right?

Also regarding the plot, we all know where this is leading to. We know this is supposed to be the story of how Okabe got his determination back and paved the way to Steins Gate. However the anime doesn't do a good job explaining how all these arcs are relevant to that point. What exactly does Okabe learn in each arc that is relevant to him realizing that deceiving the world is possible? Cos it doesn't seem like he actually learns anything until he comes to 2036.

Then there is underdeveloped and underutilized characters. Specifically Kagari, Yuki and Amadeus. By the end of the anime we don't learn anything about Yuki except she is cute, clumsy and isn't an easy girl. Amadeus and Kagari just seem like plot devices to move the WW3 plot along when the slice of life segments start to get too stale and slow. They don't feel like characters. Kagari especially. I wish we got to see more of her relationship with Mayuri in the future and Why she's so possessive and protective of her. They had a great concept in regards to her motivation which is her fear of changing the future and thus losing Mayuri. That does seem like a very interesting point. Despite how terrible and depressing the future is, she found someone worth going through that with. So she doesn't want to change that future.

Anyway thats all I got.

If I remember correctly it was made very clear that Mayuri loves Okabe, I could be remembering wrong though.

And Kagari was the worst of the new characters, and the fact that they gave her the face of best girl Kurisu just made me not like her more. I liked Maho from the new characters in 0, and that's about it. I didn't hate everyone else, but they were nowhere near as rememberable as the characters in Stiens Gate.

The slice of life aspect of steins;gate 0 dragged a bit longer for my liking. It made watching the first half a chore to get through.
I only enjoyed the interactions between Okabe and Amadeus Kurisu. And some with Maho.
The second half of the show is really good.

Amadeus was nearly useless.

Bad pacing.

Kagari.

Lack of comedy,
If not, the balance or the timing of it.

Most of the lab members are just there & didnt contribute that much on the plot.

The action scenes in the last few eps.

Who was the villain again???

Its an unnecessary sequel if you ask me.

I liked 0 more than the original. It did have out-of-place episodes, but the original S;G had the same thing in the middle of the plot and done worse (just stuffing 5 episode of harem plot into the lead-up to the finale). Since 0 is a character development piece (and yes I loved depressed Okabe) the slice-of-life actually worked and the show itself tied everything together (it made me like the original S;G more just by existing because otherwise the ending of S;G is just a stupid deux ex machina). The “android Makise” subplot and predictable twist villain were unnecessary, but I didn’t expect anything better from Steins;Gate anyways, so the rest of the show was still an improvement. Mostly because of Okabe, I love that guy. Mayuri too as an extension of that.
