Do you think that your expectations of Steins;Gate 0 are too high and maybe it would not deliver?

It's a midquel, not a sequel or a prequel. All of the groundwork is already there. It would be pretty hard to screw up what is basically already a part of the original story.

I'm probably going to be the first in this thread to say this, but I didn't think that the anime adaptation was all that great. I didn't like Steins;Gate all that much, and I certainly don't think it deserves its ranking as #2 on MAL. The movie was really quite bland and disappointing and I didn't find myself enjoying it at all, so there's that, too. Contrary to what I've said about Steins;Gate up till now, I have read most of Linear Bounded Phenogram and I really enjoyed Faris' arc. When I sit down to watch the anime, I'm disappointed even more by the fact that Rumiho is never properly fleshed out and remains a mostly 2-dimensional character throughout the entire thing, even when she gets her screen time. Steins;Gate was a 9-hour adaptation of a 40-hour long visual novel (that I also didn't think was the best thing ever, but it was still good), so obviously content is going to be cut out. The issue with this is that the show suffers for it. All the details they cut out removes another layer of depth. This is unavoidable.

Aside from the problem with adapting things in general, I didn't like ANY of the characters in Steins;Gate. Not in the anime adaptation, anyway. Suzuha is the closest I came to liking a character, and I can stomach Okabe, but god do I hate Mayuri and Kurisu. Since we're talking about characters, I didn't mention Daru, since he doesn't really qualify as one.

With that in mind, in this character-driven drama about the tragic relationship Okabe and Kurisu have, I find myself not caring one way or the other. A mild interest is as far as I'll go.

Even though I don't care for the characters, I am actually interested in the plot and the dystopian future, which is something Steins;Gate never touched on. I think this was one of the most interesting aspects of the story, and they're finally paying attention to it. This is the only thing I'm hyped up for in regard to Steins;Gate 0.

My expectations are quite low, I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Not really. It'll probably overtake FMAB as the top rated anime on this website. I'm looking forward to it.

As a steins gate fan, i am very excited for new steins gate vn/anime. Judging by the positive comments about new visual novel, it doubled by excitement. And maybe i'm one among many who really liked movie. Its true its not as good as anime, but cmon, it didnt disappoint us, and comparing a visual novel cum anime with 1hr30min long film doesnt do justice to it. Nevertheless, my hype remains the same and hope anime will be released soon ;-;

Do you think it's better than the original?

I also heard that the VN might be hard to adapt just because of the way the different routes work with the true end. Do you think the anime can pull it off?

It's a pretty tall ask; topping the second best anime on MAL and by the time of release the hype will be through the roof.
Even if it ends up slightly inferior it would be a huge disappointment..


I honestly think it will take the number one spot from MAL when it's done airing

The best episode (Be Right Back) of my most favorite television show Black Mirror is pretty similar to this synopsis, so if they can execute it just as well or even better, that'd be great. My expectations aren't just high, they're stellar.

Yea, I've read that review. Makes me really excited but I just wanted his opinion on it too to have a wider sample space. Looks like most people agree that it's at least on par with if not better than the original so that's good.

That review is also where my second question came from. The review talks about how it might be hard to adapt this VN into an anime so I was curious how they may try to pull it off.

I always felt like the first season was the perfect package and the OVA was a nice cherry on top. I have literally no expectations that 0 is going to be any good at all, so maybe it'll be a pleasant surprise. If it's not I can just pretend it doesn't exist, like DTB2.

They try not to spoil anything but there are vague hints and stuff so if you are uncomfortable with that I wouldn't read it. Here's reviewer's main impression (no spoilers):

"Basically, Steins;Gate 0 is an amazing ride that far surpassed its predecessor. I’m aware a lot of people had their doubts on whether this would be good or not or whether it was necessary to have this when the original already had a satisfying ending. Well, Zero was the other side of the story that we never really had the opportunity to see, and it ended up being way better than the original, so I think everything turned out better than expected."

Yeah I'm nervous as hell, lot of big shows from the past that come back tend to fall off the deep end to the pit of shitness and I'm afraid of it happening to this but hopefully the original authors got there head screwed on straight and White Fox studio behind the original anime does it justice like it did before and everything will be alright i hope.

I'd watch the whole series again then the movie and then do a rewind scene in my head and play 23β and watch from there. dunno if that made sense

Thanks, didn't wanna read any reviews coz even tiniest details could be considered spoilers for me. I'm really pumped for it and the great things people say about the VN and White Fox's reputation with the series just adds to the excitement!

I calculated it, so it's not weighted in any way. If you look at the full list of anime on MAL ordered greatest to least by score you'll notice that this anime is rated higher than FMAB.
http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=&type=0&score=1&status=0&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=a&c[1]=b&c[2]=c&c[3]=f&gx=0&o=3&w=1

Some people use score instead of "priority" to label which anime in their PTW they want to see the most, so I'm sure it will drop after it starts airing.

Normally I might be inclined to say yes to this, but my faith in nitroplus is just too high.

With Steins Gate and Fate Zero (2 of my top 5 favorite animes) coming from nitroplus, I have confidence that Steins Gate 0 is going to deliver.

Even though Steins;gate is overrated with its extremely high rating, it's a good anime I am not gonna lie. So the expectations are high, there is a possibility of a disappointment, they will really need to bring a good material (at least as good as Steins;gate) to satisfy many fans' expectations.

i have faith this gonna be good because :

1. The VN even better than the original VN and the VN even better than the anime. So there is no issue about the story material.

2. The same studio handle it

3. This is the choice of Steins;Gate

argh i hope it will deliver. the ending of season 1 was just perfect. i even got mad when they said theyll be releasing a sequel which was the movie. i felt like anything that would follow is unnecessary given that as i said earlier, the season 1 ended perfectly.
but what can i do? i cant just ignore it since it is S;G lol. i just hope this alternate ending will prove me wrong. zero im begging you, please prove me wrong.
why am i so well drawn into time travel stories?
do i really have that many regrets?

Steins;Gate 0 is Steins;Gate. It’s the second half of the same story. The difference is that the original game shows all the Alpha timelines it took to reach the final ending; Steins;Gate 0 shows all the Beta ones.

At the very least, I'm really curious.
S;G 0 will probably be at least a good anime.
I won't curse it by saying it'll be better than the original, that's a verdict you can only make after it's finished.

But hey, it wouldn't hurt to have more Steins;Gate. I'm not really expecting 0 to be as good as the first season, but I'd at least expect it to be not bad.

The biggest issue will be figuring out how to adapt it into an anime. Steins;Gate was pretty simple to adapt despite involving a ton of time travel. Zero on the other hand will be a different story since the game splits into two entire separate routes. Will be interesting seeing how they do it.
