| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn...Steins;Gate. Seeing this felt nostalgic especially with Mayuri and the narratives in the beginning. The episode had a moody feel from the beginning but still felt like the previous series. Seeing Okabe dressed in a suit is a nice touch (I still prefer his signature lab coat though). The animation style still feels very familiar to the franchise. Well done so far White Fox. Seems this episode/timeline takes place around the holiday season. It's really nice to see others like Ruka and Faris too. Really glad to also see some humor added in for the episode. It kinda felt like the episode is a setup for rest of the season but this really can get a viewer back into the mood. Daru's personality is still the same as usual lol The psychology is nicely done as expected and I'm glad they captured Okabe's personality and inner instincts pretty well. |

| So this starts kinda different from the VN which took straight into the plot introduction, while this focuses more on the cast first. Still really GREATTT overall.. glad to see everyone animated. :D The OST hits hard as always. That beginning was really needed for better setting up some things later and added lots of new material that improves the characterization. so happy to see best ADULT WOMAN (everyone's new waifu and best girl 2018) and best adult boiII "holy cow" Already better than the VN bois. HYPEd Af get in the fucking time machine Okabe |

HYPEd Af get in the fucking time machine Okabe 100% Agreed, the one thing that is annoyign is the constant zoomed in on faces. other than that, amazing introduction! I loved the Kurisu flashback, I am shocked at how amazing it is. They used the VN op for this episode and no visuals. |

| Not a bad start. I'm still worried about how they are going to adapt the non-linear content from other routes though. With S;G was much easier since the routes were pretty much all chronologically connected. This isn't the case at all with 0, and there's quite a bit of important information to be taken from each. |
 |
| DAMN that amadeus VN OP playing at the end so much hype! also  YUKI COSPLAY BEST GIRL FES!! s;g0 anime is now officially better than VN thank you. |

| THAT PTSD SECTION WITH KURISU OH BOY Glad that they used VN OST most of the time, especially during the rooftop scene |
 |
| I really liked how they started the anime differently than the VN. Instead of jumping to Okabe at the ATF convention, we get a bit of the future first. Plus having the old characters show up much early into the story worked for the better. It pads out the episode, letting the first episode end at a better spot. And starting off really plot-heavy might not work in its anime format. The Okabe PTSD was super well done (and that distorted music too). I love how they're adding some extra stuff. Lol at Suzuha trying to hook up Daru with his mom XD And we get introduced to Hiyajo! Looks like a little girl, yet is a 21-year old neuroscientist… I guess that makes here a legal loli. She’s just gonna participate as a translator here. Ooh, Moeka’s here too, which automatically got Okabe all tensed up. But we’re in the timeline where Moeka’s not batshit crazy, so it’s okay :P They cut out what Okabe currently knows about Kurisu's father and what happened to him. Maybe they'll bring that up later on. Leskinen and Hiyajo present what they’ve been working on at Victor Chondria University. Kurisu, who is also part of the same team, had her essay used to help create “Amadeus”, which takes memories as data and stores them in an AI. The D-mail from the original series was sort of similar, except the memories, converted into data, is sent to the past rather than stored in an AI. Since they’re based off of the same essay by Kurisu, they share noticeable similarities. I thought they'll end the episode when but this episode ended off on a tense note. And that VN OP at the end works perfectly!!! Close-ups aside, the cinematography is quite good. Production values are solid, and the use of the VN's OST was great. All in all, perfect first episode!  |

| I was afraid they were going to go easy on the PTSD but they actually went way more hardcore than the VN ever did, I am very happy with how this episode turned out. 10/10 |
| It's here, at last |

I love this better than the VN, especially the beginning with Mayuri and Kagari, I love how Mayuri regretted her decision at the start rather than the VN where she doesn't show any regret. |
|
| They made it!!!!! What a great first episode!!!!!. |
zombieiscoming said: I think it matched quite well. The multiple Kurisu bodies represent how every attempt to save Kurisu meets the same end.Okabe's PTSD is better compared to the VN except the scene that he remembered how he killed K, It's creepy but not suitable. Anyways, well done White Fox. |
|
| sadly i will have to wait a few hours for the sub |
zombieiscoming said: It might've been one time, but Okabe firmly believes that every try would lead to the same thing. GoldenDevilGamer said: I think it matched quite well. The multiple Kurisu bodies represent how every attempt to save Kurisu meets the same end. Didn't he just try to save her once? Perhaps they decided to exaggerate his paranoid.... |

Didn't he just try to save her once? Perhaps they decided to exaggerate his paranoid.... It's all the same in his head like with Mayuri, that is the reason why he doesn't even want to try again with Suzuha. He has already submitted to his choice and anything further will result in the same unstoppable fate he had seen with Mayuri hundreds of times while blaming himself for her death. |
|
| Was about to sleep then i saw this, holy... so tempting. I don't know if i should watch it or wait tomorrow for a better quality? |
| PogChamp train has arrived boys |
| What a good and thought through comment. Raise some PogChamps in the chat! |
| Is this ish subbed yet? Or yall manifested your weeb powers and watched it raw oh snap nvm Im torrenting it |
| already subbed, Aniplus VOD 720p |
| Wow, a 21 year old kawaii loli appeared, not bad. Okabe needs to get back to his time traveling and save the future. |
 |
| IT'S BACK! Meet my expectations, and the ending surpassed them. Fantastic, this is gonna be one hell of a ride |
 |
| Ayye finally some more Steins;Gate. First episode looked really good, I was not really hyped for this even though SG is one of my favorite animes of all time, but the episode made me pretty excited about it again. |
 |
| Damn,I'm feeling the nostalgia so hard, this is going to be an amazing ride for sure. Also Okabe is looking fresh af in his new outfit. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Amazing and interesting first episode. This episode definitely felt like I just watched Steins;Gate yesterday (which I did not) and I'm very excited to see what the future holds for us with this show. |
| Good episode, was surprised it started differently than the VN. |
 |
| Steins;Gate is back! I loved the first episode and can't wait to see how everything unfolds. |
| Good start. Just noticed how much I miss all of them. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
Arimias said: Looks promising so far, I think I'll enjoy this a lot. @7th-Archangel I watched it sub here https://otakustream.tv/anime/steinsgate-0/episode-1/ thanks for the link So far better than the VN, especially the way they choose to the introduction first before the Seminar. Solid Episode, 9.5/10 but we are not even close to the tricky parts, there is still chance of a trainwreck |
| I would say it's been a while, but I watched the alternate 23rd episode half an hour ago xdd I guess Okabe's normie days won't last for much longer. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I remember how much I liked the soundtrack to the VN now :) Good episode, they changed a bit, hopefully they don't do that too much. |
  |
| A pretty good start. Certainly got me a nostalgic a fair bit, but I'll reserve my hype for now as from what I've heard the story is very divisive in terms of opinions. Should be an enjoyable ride regardless |
 |
| That was a nice start. Hope it gets even better |
| Started lightly just as expected, but then the Kurisu trauma part was spectacularly horrifying, hope is restored a little. The conference in the VN was more interesting though but i guess it's boring to most people. Anyway very promising. |
| making good use of the VN soundtrack, and I see Leskinen's English has been preserved, very nice 10/10 |
| "If Daru was there he'd be all over like "She's a legal loli! It's happening!" Lmao that line was funny asf. Mayuri looked way better with longer hair in season one IMO. But shes still adorable. And to me it feels like a normal SG episode since I marathoned the entire SG franchise yesterday and the day before. Overall good start tho. |
| Oh man it's nice to see all these characters again. Things have already gotten interesting based on the end of the episode. This was a great first episode and I'm definitely excited to see what's in store down the road. Also, I forgot how much I missed hearing Mayuri say Tuturu lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I wonder how they're gonna handle the endings? Considering they branch out drastically compared to the original S;G VN. I'm gonna guess it's gonna go for the Promised Rinascimento end before going the Vega & Altair end? That'd make the most sense. Also Hiyajo's CGs were adorable. Can't wait to see her moments animated :D |
 |
| That was everything I hoped it would be, I go into this having played the VN and they nailed it. |
| Dimmock is a lot like Veal, an acquired taste. |
| Chochochoooo the hypetrain is incoming and I am one of the first on it. I love the first new episode. <3 10/10 |
