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. I looked at your list and I know why you are confused, you did not watch divided by zero, which takes place between the original and 0 (worst explanation ever) but it will make sense once you watch it. |
 |
| It's been so long, damn that nostalgia hit me. Okabe in suit looks good, but damn gotta used to it along with his now not a delusional and pompous way of talking. What a sad worldline. That wwiii sure looks depressing, Suzuha talking about her past, her mother mowed by machine guns while protecting her. Then Okabe counter argumenting what happened to him to at the alpha worldline, the sacrifces to reach beta worldline. Haven't read the vn so this gonna be a wild ride with thrill and impact for me. Though with already that I knew some spoilers at early chapters, I guess not gonna be a problem with my enjoyment. Damn, when the announcement of Amadeus kick in at the last minutes with the Amadeus OP made me hype af. Can't wait for ALL the episodes!!! |

| 5/5 this was amazing, i'm so excited for next week's episode lol |
 |
| Yep, the one week break between each episode is gonna be brutal. Should've waited until the show ended before marathoning, but couldn't help myself. The technical aspects isn't as good as the previous season (which is to be expected since that one was as close to perfect as can be), but still very good regardless. |
 |
| That first episode was much better than I expected actually. And I'm totally not just saying this because there was a ton of Suzuha in it...nope, not at all. It was nice seeing all these characters again. Ruka and Suzuha look so good, and I'm pretty interested in how the show will deal with Okabe's PTSD (that's what it seems to be anyway) |

| Damn, it's been awhile since I played the VN but I feel that it captured the atmosphere and tone of the series perfectly, as well it ended at the perfect point. Can't wait to see more Amadeus and the professor. I know it's only episode 1 but I was extremely satisfied with what we got and my expectations got higher for the series. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Well, it begins and, while the production values are most certainly not up to scratch with those of the original, they are still very good. Regardless, this was an interesting first episode that was as good as I expected it to be: the pacing is handled with similar care and delicacy to how it was in the original, so everything works well as a result (and it's a very good sign for what we can expect going forward). I'm really hoping this can live up to the hype, and this was a good start towards doing so. |
| I enjoyed the start, the atmosphere as well but i'm pretty lost with these universe lines, with the end of steins gate i'm pretty lost , where are they etc.. because here kurisu is dead but not moeka and suzuha is here too .. well i'll see next episodes |

Sam1198777 said: Just so you know, this Okabe didn't received the video mail of future okabe compared to prequel S;G Okabe. So this Okabe didn't get motivated to ride the time machine once again and have no clue to save Kurisu and avoid the wwiii occuring. What he just know and believe at this world line from what I see on this episode and what he said, her saving of Kurisu will just become like how he did save Mayuri, its diverging at the same result, she will die. So its different one from okabe of the prequel Steins;Gate.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. |

Sam1198777 said: Mohammadalmannai said: I agree with you with the close ups, but he did a great job at evoking emotions and accurately portray what the characters are feeling, and that was my biggest worry, for now. Wish it'd work for me the same way..i just don't see the intelligence and maturity in the direction or the script (or the concept, to be fair) I agree the directing and animation quality could have been better, actually I found it kinda jarring at first but rewatched the episode once again and seemed good enough for me. I say, you still don't see the bigger picture, it's not that easy as it seems and Okabe really did suffer a lot watching Mayuri die so much and then see his own beloved getting stabbed by himself, throwing him in the mental loop of having no hope because he sees himself as the sole reason everything repeats like that in such suffering for mending with God's laws. He doesn't have the courage and doesn't seem to see the grave consequences of his refusal which are still somewhere in the distant unknown future for him, he would rather not care or think about at the moment. |

Hey, I didn't watch divided by zero either, but I was just under the impression this is the timeline where Okabe failed to save Kurisu and prevent WWIII and had to be the one to figure out how to tell the okabe from the steins gate timeline how to save her without being thrown back in the beta timeline. |
 |
| Well, at least now this franchise looks more White Foxy, I definitely like the new tone and the deeper image of Okabe. It is already felt that this will be one of the best shows of the season and this studio, if not the best. |

bartek97 said: I can't believe it, it already here, I'm so hyped! It has been quite some time since I was this excited for an anime. I must say, after watching the first episode I'm so exhilarated, I can't believe how I'm feeling, I didn't expect this to be possible. I'll be waiting eagerly for next episodes and I hope they'll even better than this one! Similarly. Although I finoshed the first Gate just recently, I have a feeling that I've been waiting for this show for years. |

| It's finally here, it's good to see the Mad Scientist again! |
 |
| Great first episode IMO. I am one of those who just recently got to watch Steins;Gate so my memories of the show are still fresh. Can't wait. Also the PTSD scene with Kurisu...Really shows how fucked up Okabe is. |
 "A name... Toru Rikiishi" |
| This was very interesting, the beginning of 0 is completely different from the original, I think this anime will be darker than the previous one. |
| ~~ |
| It's too early to say if Steins;Gate 0 will be as good as the original, but I think it will be very very good |
| White Fox nailed it! |
| It's great to see the same characters again, I'm excited to see the rest of the series. |
| Great to see the characters again, but other than that, that was not very impressive, also Makise's "theory" is what is basically known about storning memories in the brain today (actually less than what is known today), and I don't see anyone in real world developing an "AI with emotions and memories", 1st ep and already crap pseudoscience? The original was pretty believable unlike this. |

Honestly you should watch it! It won't harm you to have 10 mins of extra S;G content :) Plus, it explains the intro with Mayuri and Suzuha better and for sure they are going to refer back to that time again throughout the series. It's fine if you do not want to watch it.

The original was pretty believable unlike this. I think either me or you misunderstood, depending on your response but here we go. It is about Kurisu's idea of storing memories from the brain (Hippocampus organ to be precise since it stores the emotion and feeling of a human being) onto a computer as part of a beta technology and that part of the brain. You will see the technology develop throughout and I find this to be more practical and believable than time traveling, basically you can say it is a robot, and Amadeus technology is pretty real and has been experimented but never done accurately. Amadeus (with a quick google search) means love god (Ama meaning love and deus meaning god) and it can foreshadow future events (from VN just the name alone) It all ends on how they carry on the idea of Amadeus throughout the anime, all up to the execution. |

| maaaaaan the hypeeeeeeeee. can't wait to see next week episode, when i guess things will start to get real. watching mayushi and okarin so changed felt so weird ... okabe with all his problems and so serius, and mayuri more grown, And that PTSD was cruel i like that. i was also surprised ( i haven't played the vn yet ) to see how they're actually realistic in neuroscience. |
 |
| The tracks, the characters, the atmosphere, the animation, the nostalgia, I'm prepared, the episode was phenomenal, you don't how much I love this show |

That theory also helped developing the time leap machine from the original where it worked with memory in a similar way. |

| Amazing way to end the episode with 'Amadeus' and the VN OP. Hype. |
join the hyper going home club!  |
A_Haiku_Unloose said: Huh? This was based off the exact same concept that was used to make the D-mail. Converting memories into data and sending them to the past is what the original was all about. Converting memories into data and having an AI model their personality based off of the data is what S;G 0 is all about.

Mouloxas said: Good start, i was afraid they were gonna rush and finish with Okabe meeting a certain someone but they showed restraint and paced this properly. PTSD scene was also delivered perfectly, and hell yes they are using the vn soundtrack. On a side note, i see a few people are complaining about animation quality and how production values were not up to scratch compared to the original. Please let's not pretend the first series was anything special on that front either. They didn't even bother trying to adapt the vn's trippy artstyle into anime format. Only the fact that it was directed pretty much perfectly saved it. Here other than too many freaking close-ups the directing is also great and manages to get Okabe's feeling across just fine and that's what matters. xShinigami3125 said: 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 :/ Really? The most common complaint about the first Steins Gate anime was that it started off really slow whereas here we pretty much get straight into the plot, i'm surprised that the original managed to hook you straight away and this didn't. JudoJD said: The director of Fate/stay Night Heaven's feel 1 was basically quacking in his shoes asking fans if they were cool with the adaptation while you hear people in another studio are throwing away the script the creator worked hard for... You can't honestly say everyone cares. The director of Heaven's Feel also didn't allow Nasu to make changes to the script like he wanted. He disrespected him but it will probably be for the best, so you can't really say he doesn't care. The point i'm trying to make is, every studio and director have their own vision for an anime, i think it's harsh to say that they straight up don't care at all about their work. It's really hard to explain why I don't like SG0 as much I am not sure myself maybe it's because okabe is so different now kurisu isn't there and all women have Gigant boobs now (this somehow really annoys me every time they are on screen) I can just hope in the next few episodes the original steins gate vibe ll come back |

It's basically replicating the brain connections into a computer, and it also makes for some debate on weather memories are part of your personality or they are separate things. The next episode should give a better presentation, but don't expect too much focus onto the mechanics. LiamMegumin said: Should i play the game? Watching the anime should be fine. Of course, you can always play the VN for the extra content if you want. XD (although it misses important info that anime will bring out so they are both expected to be good in their own ways). It even comes on Steam soon. |

| why the fuck the chicks suddenly became so thicc? i don't remember suzuha being this thicc, it's distracting |
 |
| I was worried since neither of the 2 original directors are directing this, but it seems to be going smoothly for now. Also, it's really weird hearing Mamoru Miyano doing a regular voice. |

It is actually very, very debatable if, even if the theory worked, she would be able to transfer *emotions*. But hey, this is SF, I guess i should chill about hoping it to be realistic, although I was pretty pleased with the original. uninstallthegame said: why the fuck the chicks suddenly became so thicc? i don't remember suzuha being this thicc, it's distracting One of the points I was going to give, but got distracted :D. Yes, I agree, in 6 months they have all undergone a huge transformation, and seems that Suzuha's only role now is fanservice, which is disgusting, because S;G really shouldn't be that kind of show, it had much better attributes. |
|
| I like how this ended. Just like the very first episode. |

|
| Finally the first episode of Steins;Gate 0 aired and I watched it.. sniff... I've waited for this for so long.. it was truly beautiful. And that PTSD scene was freaking perfect. Loved that distorted music. Good choice. |
