OP and ED were both great!
I felt emotional when Okabe saw the AI Kurisu for the first time, then when he called her and she was acting just like she always has... I can definitely see Okabe getting really engrossed in talking to her, but becoming more depressed that she isn't actually real. Seems like an interesting premise.
I like Maho also, she's cute but also smart and sassy.
Another great episode, can't wait to see how it progresses!

Loved this episode. Really like that chemistry that's going on between Okabe and Hiyajou. Maybe in this alternate reality they fall in love, idk. It was also a really touching moment when Kurisu (or should I say Amadeus) calls Okabe. As usual, the animation is always utterly fantastic. I'm calling it right now, Steins;Gate 0 will be anime of the year.

Huh. This......was great!
Didn't think I'd like this better than the 1st episode given how it exceeded my expections, having a better start than the VN, but here I am.

The first few episodes of the first season were quite boring for me, but in this second season it's just the other around; the first episode was nice, and the second episode was way better. Hopefully it'll keep the pace.
-------------

This second season is feeling just like another completely different anime for me, but I'm liking that.

Personally, i think the OP is'nt up to par with the first one, not by a long shot.

However we have the absolute gem which is the ED, boy is it good. Like top 10 anime ED's good.

The bloody tears I am dishing out is for the butchery that this show has done to the original Stein;Gate series. Our main character who had risked his life for the person he cared about has been turned into an otaku, who will spend his time on a computer dating his virtual waifu. Shame on you Steins;Gate 0

I still liked the op and eds from the original anime better, honestly. but i guess these are okay.

Im guessing Kurisu is going to have some level of reading steiner even if she is only an AI. After all, she has human memories implanted.

I am so happy and sad at the same time. Happy that Okabe gets to see Kurisu again (sort of) and sad about all the pain seeing the AI is causing him. Can't wait to see more interactions of Okabe with Maho and Amadeus.

I think I understand better now why they did things slightly out of order from the VN, the first episode focused on re-introducing some characters and establishing the current climate between them while the second episode focused on the new characters to the series and the Amadeus. This actually works out far better than it would have had they been jumping back and forth like the VN does. So far so great!

In terms of just anime only presentation without the comparisons to the source material, it does everything well so far. Steins;Gate 0 is arguably even more complex than it's original and so keeping all the plot points clear and the developments feeling authentic and meaningful to those without all the backstory from the VN will be a true feat. I think it does everything it needs to so far.

The OP and ED are both wonderful. Lots of foreshadowing without betraying anything to those who haven't experienced this story yet.

5/5 Can't wait to see more!

Great episode again.

Couldn't help but smile when Okabe stood up to that dude who was dissing on Amadeus.

That said, they're clearly out to destroy us with all the emotion. :(
When Okabe shouted Christina!! I laughed but at the same time got really emotional.

Really liking Hiyajou. :)

Okabe tearing up at the end was just. T.T

The only solace in all this is that we know the actual ending to Steins;Gate is a happy one but I'm still not prepared for what 0 is gonna show me. :(

rest in pepperonis, my friend





so, a new challenger has arrived, right, maho? kurisu's va seems a bit different from what i remember, maybe because of the ai-ish effect they layered on it
and right off the bat ai acts all tsunderish, kinda strange, considering the first time they've met at the conference she destroyed him

and why wouldn't okabe tell maho about the time leap experiments?


The reason why Kurisu’s voice sounds different is most likely due to aging. Her voice actress is now 40. She was 33 when she voiced Kurisu in the first Steins;Gate series back in 2011.

I miss former expressive voice of Kurisu.

see S;G movie? i think it's pretty mediocre for S;G , 8/10 for me

I love the engrish in this show. I want to see more happy moments, I liked those in the original series, it made the sad parts more impactful, so far 0 is very depressing, but it's not bad~

I LOVED this episode!! Of course, I loved the first ep as well but this felt...lighter, kind of like old times. :')

My heart seriously broke but I also couldn't help but laugh when Okabe called Amadeus Christina. How is it even possible to feel such two different emotions at once in one scene?? T.T

I really love Maho! She's really cool! :))

The Professor seems really nice, as well! I loved it every time he spoke in English, lol. xD I'm hoping he stays good bc I know some scientists can actually turn evil (not just in animes, but in entertainment really, such as tv shows). >.>

Omg, that ending with Okabe crying was so heartbreaking to watch! I'm forever an Okabe x Kurisu shipper! T.T <3

The queen Kanako strikes again! Fatima is a great song that brings out all the sadness of this arc, and the visuals are amazing too, but I feel that Hacking to the Gate is better.

Zwei pushes their sliders to 11 with this ED, already a contender for best ED of the year both in visuals and song.

Even though they changed the director, it seems like this new guy is a great choice. The directing is stellar, and I legit shed tears in my eyes (which I almost never did) when Amadeus Kurisu appeared.

Overall, it seems like Steins;Gate 0 will be my animu of the year if it keeps up this pace.

Leskinen's Engrish is so fucking hilarious
I love this bastard. He needs to become a meme

Was looking forward to the part where Okabe calls Amadeus "Christina". Loved that part of the VN

And Maho is too adorable. Her conversations with Okabe feel so natural and flow so nicely

Can't wait for when they start focussing on Suzuha soon. She was one of my favourites from the VN.
