"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| The episode was fucking amazing, I am so god damn happy to be getting more Steins;Gate and I loved seeing the characters from the 0 visual novel come to life with animation |
| I'm going to have to go back because I was interrupted during the middle somewhere, but I caught most of it. It felt a little off to start with, but that went away pretty quickly once they were back in the old lab. I started to get a feel for all the old characters and got a quick introduction to the new ones. Haha, oh man, what a tricky situation Daru and Suzuha are in. So I missed some of what was talked about after Okabe and Suzuha had their convo on the rooftop. I came back about the time he met the little short girl (forgot her name for the moment) That engrish. That presentation and ending, oh man. I am hyped. Good first episode, I'ma go back and make sure, but I think this was about as well as I could have hoped to be re-introduced to the franchise. 9/10. |
 |
| Two words: "Holy Cow!" I really like the way they changed the order of events to give more impact to the Amadeus reveal at the end of the episode, and I'm glad that we can hear some of Okabe's thoughts. I feared we'd miss what Okabe thought Daru would say about Maho. Great use of the soundtrack too. 1.048596/1.048596 |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| Great start though it had some changes from the VN but nothing too drastic. I hope it concentrates more on Maho in later eps though as she is best girl. Love her introduction though. |

| How many years after Steins Gate does this take place ? Cuz it looks like mayuri got herself a Brest implant xd |

Äh Okey then why did everyone get an "upgrade" if you knew what I mean. Also it's pretty weird to see OKabe in normal cloth but I ll get used to it |
| Really nice return and i'm intrigued where this is gonna go now with this timeline and the Amadeus concept. |
| Still the best as ever. Kanako Itou's voice from the opening song feels so nostalgic. Hyped for next week! |

| Wow. The story starts off pretty good, Okabe, everyone looking great again. But I am definitely getting a thriller feel by the end of the episode, such a nostalgic and whelming start. I am completely digging the soundtrack as well. 5/5 They actually put the opening of the visual novel at the end of the episode, I love it. I am so hyped. |

| Holy cow! The pacing was better than I expected. Great use of the ost. I think this is going to be a fantastic adaptation. |

| arc light anime adaptation incoming hopefully white fox will not cut it out like vn. ding ding robotics;notes connection here amadesu and Kimijima ko base on same theory. pretty good adapted for first episode we finally see more okabe normal life. |

So that's a 4 months gap. |
 |
| BOY AM I PUMPED FOR THIS. GREAT first episode; it really helped tie together the previous series into this one's World Line. We finally get to meet Suzuha's mom among a few other key characters, and you can already sense the Feels Train warming its engines. This is gonna be another bumpy ride, and Studio White Fox has given us front-row, splash-zone seats for it. Buckle up everyone; Okabe is back in business. 5/5 |
I did not watch this episode yet But Ruka Urushibara is best girl, and noting will ever beat her |
| I'm liking so far. It seems to be a quality adaptation like the original. |
thepath said: Luka Urushibara. At least get her name right.I did not watch this episode yet But Ruka Urushibara is best girl, and noting will ever beat her |
| Idk how I feel about this anime I mean it looks rather promising but for me it just doesn't feel as overwhelming/Thrilling as Steins Gate did. Back when I watched Steins Gate for the first time I was instantly hooked and didn't sleep that night just so I could finish the show in one Go this one just doesn't make me feel the same way Steins Gate did :/ also all female characters suddenly having such large breasts is kinda irritating. |

| I'm still relatively new to Steins;Gate but that tuturu brought back some serious memories. Fuck that PTSD scene was disturbing. I really hope Beta Okarin makes it out okay. Though I highly suspect eternal suffering for him. |
 |
| As of today I am the happiest human on Earth. This first episode was so amazing I can't handle it. All of my waiting and abstaining from reading the VN has now so so paid off. Everything I just witnessed was all new to me and I can't wait to see what happens next. My life now has meaning again. Thank you S;G. |
| ALSo why is it a thing that every time someone (who is supposed to be a native speaker) in an anime speaks englisch they have a terrible accent couldn't they get someone with a less noticeable acctent for that role. |
Anerinus said: Great episode. Have to say it, that broken English speaking professor from America.... He actually sounded worse in the VN during that scene. XD You will be sure to love him soon, he is a top tier memer and the accent is part of his charm. xShinigami3125 said: ALSo why is it a thing that every time someone (who is supposed to be a native speaker) in an anime speaks englisch they have a terrible accent couldn't they get someone with a less noticeable acctent for that role. He speaks Japanese too, don't worry. He is Finnish, so not really a native English speaker either. |

| Fantastic start. The opening sequence upto when Okabe meets up with Mayuri was amazing. The soundtrack hits so damn hard for me and seeing all the characters again is just wonderful. I'm so happy they decided to this adaptation. We get to meet Yuki officially, like finally and I love her already. That PTSD scene though. :( Super interested in the AI stuff that was presented at the end. Masterful presentation overall, really looking forward to this. |
 |
| ok my hair was literally standing up while watching this...so much mostalgia... truly agood comeback |
 |
| anyone else notice some differences from the PV and the actual anime? PV  Actual  Also PV  Actual  |
 |
| now THAT is a first episode how it's supposed to be done, holy shit. |

I thought he might have spoken to Okabe before the presentation but there is still 22 eps to go to flesh him out. |

riorangel21 said: White Fox and Bones, we can all agree now that these 2 studios really care about their series ( based on the 1st episodes ) While Pierrot ruining Tokyo Ghoul:re again lol. Bones / White Fox = Quality over Quantity Pierrot = Quantity over Quality ( Tokyo Ghoul, Boruto and Black Clover all in one season ) While A-1 finally redeeming themselves ( Darling in the FranXX, Nanatsu no Taizai ) Either way great episode! The new director did a great job ~ EL PSY CONGROO I appreciate the gesture but there is so much problematic stuff with what you said. First off, everyone cares about their project otherwise they wouldn't even remain in an industry riddled with problems to begin with. Don't try to make the lack of passion a reason when scheduling & industry-wide practices are to blame for. Secondly you're trying to make a point about quality & quantity while comparing a relatively new studio trying to find a foot in the industry with recent expansions in their facilities with a giant that has several decades of history. The difference is Pierrot can afford to have multiple projects in the production stage whereas WhiteFox can't but wish they did. And even if we follow your logic Bones would not even match your criterium as they have a ton of simultaneous production going on thanks to their 4 department structure. Either way it's pretty much pointless to talk merely in studios anyway when so much decision making is done outside of the studio's reach or discretion. With as many freelancing creative core staff as there is, it's not surprise really. That out of the way, Kawamura indeed did a splendid job. He continued the delicate depiction of facial expression to display a wide range of emotions. The result is an amazing episode. |
| Ah I miss them... I need to rewatch season1 since I forgot everything.. can someone remind me a quick overview of what happened?? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I love how intense this is despite being only the first episode of the season. |
 |
| Fucking ace first episode. They've got a lot of introductions to get through and a lot of information to jam in, but I'm pleased that they managed to get that all done and still leave time for internet Happenings. 10/10 Clefairiess said: Ah I miss them...

| Okay so unpopular first, but really though, the animation is kinda terrible, i legit compared the highest 1080p i could find to the 720ps of the first season and its really mediocre compared to that. The direction also lacked luster, very disjointed and segmented scenes. As a massive fan of the first series, this was terribly disappointing. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the cinematography (constant zooming in on the faces to save budget) really did a number for me. Really sad at how this is turning out. Not even close to the originals quality. Where did all the budget go? The inexperience of the director is really showing. :( Also they're really banking on the nostalgia factor (and its working for literally everyone but me sadly lol) last thing, why is the extreme PTSD not believable? Like, he still has the choice to save her but he's literally going to go through hell just to arrive at the same conclusion? Ah, not working for me. The first novel was intelligent. This, this is made for milking. Sad. |

| I didn't know much I missed Steins Gate until I saw this. Love seeing these guys...But daaammnn it feels dark. |

| I am so happy to see characters back. Great first episode. It pains me to see Okabe like that, hope he finds happiness by the end of this. I had no idea that I missed Steins;Gate this much. |
| I'm still a little confused as to where this takes place and i need to refresh my memory of Steins;Gate a little bit, but when i heard the piano version of the main theme, i was instantly thrown in 2011 spring/summer when my heart couldn't wait for the next episodes. I felt the whole atmosphere of that time and it brings me nostalgia. I gotta watch the original once more. Hard to make an opinion from the first episode, tho. It did not catch me but it's the first episode after all. I'm sure with the progression, i'll like the episodes more. It was that way with the original. My squad is back! I'll miss the old Okabe tho xD. |
