| i should re-watch the show it's been ages since I've watched it.. the 1st episode was so cool, specially okabe |
| I love that the episode ran around 10 minutes before the opening started. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Confused in the first episode, but then all doubts will be clarified. |
Ehm...it was an exciting thriller feel, and it certainly LOOKS like it's going to be a good anime, but... I am just entirely lost right now. What's going on? There have had to have been a minimum of three timelines that have run entirely different courses...and he's jumping among them. Am I the only one who related "The Organization" to the conspiracy of the NHK from Welcome to the NHK? Hmm, anyway. Certainly caught my interest. Let's see what happens. |

Keep in mind that this show has a long build up, but you will like it. Also you are a bit wrong with mechanic if time travel, in this show it is a bit different from usual, so pay attentuon. And have fun :) |

It does look pretty good though and quite interesting. Excited to see how this anime plays out. Looks like I'll have to actually pay attention to this anime instead of doing something on the side while watching lol. |

Everything will start making sense. Just be ready to have your emotions and perceptions thrown around, this anime is seriously a rollercoaster :) The buildup takes quite a while though, but it's really really worth it. (and yes, don't be distracted while watching this) |

(and yes, don't be distracted while watching this) That is so reassuring to hear! I'm currently on the third episode and slowly but surely falling in love with this anime. It's unlike any other I have seen. I'm excited to see how it all comes together. Seriously though so glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I'll be sure not to be distracted haha. |

The thick of the anime is a bit of a ways off, but it will hit you like a bullet. If you still remember me once the anime is finished, be sure to let me know what you thought about it. c: |

| Confusing, but interesting enough to keep going. That red haired girl is alive ;O That phone convo was funny haha. He was talking to himself xD |
| Rewatching for the 4th time. Hell that elevator scene at the end always gives me long goosebumps!!!! |

| [Rewatch BD version] Wow, this episode was so amazing. I was almost crying. All the details, all the references... IT'S ALL THERE!! OMG!! Steins;Gate is so amazing. Every shot, every scene is meaningful. If you are watching this for the first time, listen to me, watch it till the end. It makes sense. Trust me, I come from the future after all. |
| Rewatching a second time. I actually teared up a bit in the beginning part up until and including the introduction song. So much nostalgia, shivers and goosebumps, even if it was only like four months ago. Now I get to see if everything actually made sense the whole way through...and feel those little connections reforming in my brain. |

| watched this series years ago its great 10/10 then a few years later i played the VN, and there r alot of parts skipped from the VN even so its a solid adaptation however i do recommend ppl to play the VN after watching this personally i like the VN better. |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| Hmm... I'm confused. |
Trump_Card said: I personally like the anime better, it's way way more well-executed so the scenes really make a solid and lasting impact. Still the VN is better content-wise since it has everything the anime cut out..watched this series years ago its great 10/10 then a few years later i played the VN, and there r alot of parts skipped from the VN even so its a solid adaptation however i do recommend ppl to play the VN after watching this personally i like the VN better. |

| This one of the most confusing and interesting first episode that I ever seen in a while. Okaba is so funny. 4/5 |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Quite a confusing episode I must say |
| Alright, I've been wanting to want Steins; Gate for a long time now, now is finally the time to see how this amazing this show is... (Of course without any expectation from it, to avoid being disappointed in any way) The opening was really excellent! The visuals are not too unique (but still great) but the song itself was fantastic and really catchy! I definitely can see myself singing this song myself whenever the OP starts! The ending also share the same aspects as the opening, beautiful song overall! If that was really a satellite that crashed into that building, then that satellite must be one solid, tough and strong-ass satellite, being able to survive re-entry and crashed into a building without shattering to pieces. Maybe it's not a satellite?! If I was to summarise this episode... WOT!? Though now I now that Dr Pepper is truly a drink for intellectuals! |
  |
| Rin seems pretty cool and I'm hoping to see more of Makise, she seems like an interesting charcter. Hoping that Mayuri's more than just an airhead... |
| hmm... dosent seem to be too shabby for a first episode, but we'll see how it turns out. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Decided to rewatch the show since I wanted to watch Steins;Gate 0. (Been 6 years ago!) Fully immersing myself in the world again, together with my sister ^^ Man I've missed this show, these are the kind of characters together with a fantastic story that sticks with you, no matter how much time has passed. Knowing certain bits and watching the first episode does make me look at stuff in a different way, seeing more hints etc. |

Kerozinn said: i honestly dotn see why so many ppl voted "5 out of 5: Loved it! " it was confusing and far from being great. i love how one of the best anime ever created has a "bad" first episode lol while we often say first impressions are important guess it's not the case with stein's gate |
| The fact that Okabe Rintarou sent a message to the past is undeniable especially after seeing Makise Kurisu live. |
| Well that was kinda confusing. There are so much time differences that I have no idea what's going on. Who is the woman with the red hair? Why crashed a sattelite into the building? Why does Rintarou don't have the email he sended? And why is he talking about an organisation? Is he just crazy? There are so much questions for me and that only after the first episode holy crap. Other than that it's interesting and it seems it's an more demanding show. Can't wait to see how this will go on. PS: I finally know were the "Tutturu" comes from :D |

| Mayushi seems to prevent Okabe from seeing something important. That's a man screaming, yet Makise was the one killed. The reason Okabe said the message is sent to the past is (probably) he don't believe that he sent that message on the past. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Eh, got nothing from it so far. Kinda confusing i guess... But since it's the first episode i don't mind. Not a fan of the colour palette, super depressing and bleak. |
| Rewatching this series, time for some El Psy Congro |

ThEOnlYMaNAliV said: I've just started the series,into episode 1 and first impression "Nothing makes sense". I hope it doesn't end up like Monster anime for me. At the end, everything will make sense. If you watched the last episode, rewatch the first episode, and you will realize many interesting things^^ |

| I bought the game for a great deal on Switch, so I realized I should probably get around to watching this. It's been on my list for awhile and my friends all vouch for it. Episode 1, the first time, was rather weird. But that's typical to a million things I love; Berserk, and most of all, Shakugan no Shana, so I look forward to seeing it with subsequent knowledge later on. None of the characters were likable at first, but they felt layered, like there's a lot to them, which I prefer. I don't know what any of that is, but that alone has me intrigued. Not much to say past that so early, but this episode so far was just a 3/5 to me. Good, but confusing so far. |

| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
