Steins;Gate Episode 24 Discussion

trashing a masterpiece like this saying it is terrible when you are probably in an absolute minority is not the correct way to put your subjective opinion.

Even I was about to drop steins gate after 2 episodes when I first watched it but my friends insisted me to continue and it ended up becoming one of the irreplaceable favorites for me and I am sure I am not alone in this, there must be many who had similar experience like me.

Argumentum ad populum.

Being a minority does not mean that one should not "trash" anime which one dislikes.

God_Yaboku said:


That's what I am telling you, you can express your opinion in a much better way without trashing. You can dislike it without trashing because it is not trash, even I can say your opinion is trash but that's not the way things should be discussed dismissing other's opinions or saying something is trash because I don't like it.

Yeah, this anime was fuckin terrible! I will never let other people tell me to keep watching an anime ever again.

Steins;Gate is definitely the best anime for me, Steins;Gate 0 is another issue though, I hated that pointless shitty anime and I find it hard to believe that people liked that one and find it even harder to believe that there's some people out there that liked it even more than Steins;Gate. Beauty is subjective alright so I won't blame you for hating on this anime, Steins;Gate was simply not for you.

Maybe time traveling stories aren't your thing or the anime failed to pull the right strings on you, it did for me and many others though.

Thank you very much for understanding.

So I won't shoot your down before I even hear you out, but why would you even give this show a 1 for?


My opinion on this show:

I thought this show was amazing, I loved how in the first few episodes, we felt just as crazy as Okarin and not understanding what's going on with the whole time travel dynamic.

Its a shame a feeling like this can only happen once because once you seen it or read about it, etc, the feeling is over and I really hope that whoever watches this anime reads no reviews, no episode description, everything needs to be experienced just the way Oakrin experienced it and learned just how he learns it.

There was some very tiny plot holes, but that's time travel in a nut shell and I think its impossible to make a show based on time travel without having to cut corners, I mean our regular life is full of plot holes, so its fine. :p

The show is consistent (kind of), everyone remembers the other world as if it was some sort of dream or just small fragments of memory. Granted I would wonder how everyone else in the world would react to this. ( FB/Mister Braun? Moeka? Christiana Dad and the Russians? Small little plot holes here that were sadly avoided and not talked about ). Or maybe they do remember it but since their is no Sern in that world they don't care? I don't know, would of liked more info on it.

The romance is not forced ( thank god Oakrin and Mayuri were not a thing, same with Oakrin + every other girl/guy ), and Christiana and Oakrin were the main focus of everything, I am really happy they did that because those were the two people hanging out the most, doing everything with each other, it just felt so good.

And I would really want to see another part of the show where Christiana kissed Oakrin and gets her memories of the old kiss back because it was stored in the hippocampus as she said, I really would of loved just to see what would of happened after the kiss ( and to be honest I just wanted to see them kiss again and was mad when they just cut to black ).

Otherwise, It gets a 9/10 from me. A good decent ending granted the plot holes did annoy me and idk, episode 22-24 I believe were kind of weird, if it would of ended on 21 I would probably would of gave it a 10.

Maybe I just didn't like the whole "World War 3" and Future Oakrin talking to present ( or past in his case lul ) Oakrin turned me off a bit.

Or I also probably wanted an ending where Christiana also died, I am just a sick person lul

It made me infuriated that everyone else loves it. daru actually being the father was so ridiculous, for instance. The show is not profound, either, but people seem to think that it is.

HealthyHP said:


But again, your not explaining what makes you hate it?

"It made me infuriated that everyone else loves it"

So do you just hate it because everyone loves it? Is that it?

"daru actually being the father was so ridiculous,"

How was that crazy? Daru is really smart, sure he is a pervert nerd, but he has helped with the completion of the time machine and hacking into the SERN database, so I am sure he met someone who also loves doing what he does.

"The show is not profound, either, but people seem to think that it is."

Its a time travel anime with barely any plot holes, to even talk about time travel without any issues/plot holes is really well done.

I am not going to say this Anime is "the best in the world" no anime is, but you should give it credit where credit is due.

You cant possibly put 1/10 even if you didn t like the show : it has incredible music and the realization was amazing, with many different shots i ve never seen in other anime or even movies. They put a lot of effort in the voice acting too.

You should at least put 4/10 for it s technical quality, don t you think ?

There's only one thing I'm not sure about:
The Okabe who saw the not-dead Kurisu in ep24, what happened to him? Did he redo the entire events of the show? Because the stabbed Okabe says "good luck on your hardest 3 weeks". Is he stuck in a loop? But at the same time, since stabbed Okabe succeeded and went back to the timeline he came from(?), Okabe who saw the not-dead Kurisu did not actually redo those same 3 weeks, right? He stopped "existing", right?
Or are Okabe who saw the not-dead Kurisu and Okabe who got stabbed now living two distinct lives in two distinct timelines?
Up until this episode I thought that timelines could not co-exist, since everything simply got rewritten when they changed the past.

It's no wonder why Steins;Gate anime series' rating is one of the highest on MAL! The first few episodes didn't interest me much but it did intrigue me as more episodes go by. I'm relieved I didn't give up on this because it ended up as an anime I could never forget. Truly recommendable!

Wow, can't believe i was 9 years late to this (though it was good to not have to wait 7 years for zero). I would definitively put this in my top 5 animes ever, everything is very well structured and well planned. The only flaws it has are some minor plot holes and a confusing start (which is why most people hate the first half) with that in mind everything else is just perfect, i give it a 95.

I absolutely loved this last episode, it was (again) a perfect 10/10! My total score for the series was rounded up to "9" from ~8.5 a few episodes back. I would probably have given it a "10" if the first 11 episodes were just as good as the rest, but they clearly are not.
Now I am not sure whether to continue watching the OVA, the movie, the alternative 23β episode and finally Steins;Gate 0. For the last one in particular I have not heard the best things. I will probably take a breather for a few days or a couple of weeks and then watch the rest.

Just finished rewatching for the first time. Watched this a few years ago and the only question I'm left with is...when okabe undid the first dmail and went back to the beta world line, do we know if kuriisssstiiinaa actually died in that original beta world line (aka episode one)?

What made okabe check out the room kurisu "died" in in episode one was his future self's scream, doesn't this mean that everything we watched throughout the series had already happened to the future okabe who's scream we heard in episode one? Doesn't this mean the okabe we've been watching just set the stage for past okabe to experience hell for 3 weeks only for that past okabe to have to undo the first dmail and fake kurisu's death and then cause another past okabe to experience the same thing, creating an infinite loop?

If everything we've seen throughout the series has actually already happened once before to future okabe who's scream caused present okabe to see "dead" kurisu, doesn't that mean kurisu never actually died in that conference building?
