| It's so hard to over-look the transphobia in Steins;Gate. This new season already let me down. They need to stop the whole "she's a dude" joke with my GIRL, Ruka. 🙃 |
| Mayuri x Okabe relationship is the best in this entire anime. I really love them, and I really mean friendship, hope it will stay that way. But strangely their friendship feels stronger and much closer than any romantic one Okabe can have with Kurisu. |
  |
| Ugh, it's really hard to see Okarin being all deluded by Amadeus :( You need to get over it, Mayushii is right by your side, dammit! Anyway, Leskinen's accent is even more hilarious in the anime, with all these awkward faces he keeps making xD Amazing. The whole party was super fun to watch, especially Nao x Maho cosplays :3 I missed these guys having fun soooo much!  Jotakak said: It's so hard to over-look the transphobia in Steins;Gate.

| Ok, if anyone can explain to me without spoiling much, |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
Infatuate said: Ok, if anyone can explain to me without spoiling much, Uuh, no. This is the Beta world line. Nothing from the Alpha world line happened here. Meaning Mayuri is not fated to die, and Mr.Braun and Moeka didn't die either. |

No. All those things happened in the world Kurisu was alive. Did you forget how the story happens? |

| Unpopular opinion - I'm not a big fan of AI Kurisu. I have no idea where the story will go and I can just judge these 3 episodes, but so far it feels like the writer wanted to come up with something new besides the time travel and decided to throw in the Amadeus system. I don't want a whole season about this instead of exploring the time travel more. I guess in the end it'll have something to do with making time machines work, but I'm just not feeling that part of the story :/ Please don't kill me for that opinion. It's just how I feel about it and it's only been 3 episodes. |
| The Okabe realisation at the end hit me hard. It's so easy to just focus on something so beautiful, but end up forgetting reality. So. Relatable. Great ep as always. Steins;Gate never lets me down. I can't wait to watch more! |

| Mayushii in Santa outfit. Now I can die is peace. Also watching Okabe breakdown is so hard to my heart. :( |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I like this episode too but I feel like they shortened a bit too much the scenes here, it looks like a best-off of the jokes and references of the corresponding vn part x) Rintaro was supposed to invit Maho with the advice of Amadeus if I remember well o_o (and Leskens tagged along) I'm really glad that they added more Mayuri scenes, it's going to help understanding her route x) Be brave Mayuri ! Nice rework of the relationship scenes between Amadeus and Rintaro, it seems more natural :) Haibara said: Unpopular opinion - I'm not a big fan of AI Kurisu.

It's just how I feel about it and it's only been 3 episodes. The maintheme is still timetravel. So dont worry about it focusing too much on Amadeus. Its rather different than you expect it being a theme. |
| If I had to guess I'd go with this theory (didn't read VN so it's just guessing). Rintaro refuses to work on time machine, that's established. Kurise is AI that reminds him of past. Events from this episode, especially the ending, break him, and he begins working on time machine again, in hopes of pulling Flash and fucking up a timeline. This could all be COMPLETELY wrong, and if original series is anything to base my opinion on, there will be 50 turns and twists in the meantime. And I'll be there to enjoy the ride. |
| Much weaker episode for sure, still the ending definitely was enticing but something I feel like was easy to see coming given the whole direction of the episode. Reallllly curious as to see how Okabe's relationship with Mayuri and Maho develops and how his own mental state holds up with the shenanigans I know are going to come. |

| It is ok. Does not have the hold or pull factor of the first series. |
| The first minutes of the episode that Mayuri is not a fool girl, she is very insightful!!! Okabe is confusing the "virtual ID" with the reality, and this actions could come a new way for this series!!!! |
| I really liked how they portrayed the flashbacks here. It's interesting to note Kurisu and Mayuri don't appear in them. By that moment Okabe has already accepted the new world and his obsession with Amadeus gave him the missing parts he needed to delude himself into thinking that Kurisu might still be alive just like before, and Mayuri is right besides his shoulder. Just then, Maho immediately crashes his illusion by reminding him of the word "dead" and what exactly it means. Okabe lied to himself about these two persons, but he forgot how many more people died because of his actions and mistakes he did trying to save both Mayuri and Kurisu. Reminiscing their fate again really hit him hard. That moment was taken from the novels and is completely superior to what the VN provided in this context, and acts as a very memorable story split. Really like these changes. |
 |
| Okabe getting comfortable with speaking to Kurisu was a very heart warming thing to witness, seeing Okabe coming back to reality realizing that is not the real Kurisu and his reaction get me really excited for what happens next! |
 |
| but he's a dude. i also what implications will be after mayuri overheard okabe's conversation with Kurisu |
| Yup, he's going crazy. That American's reaction tho. |
| Alexis is weird. I don't trust him. Maho is cute. Amadeus/Kurisu is funny lol. I like that Maho makes Okabe remember that he is talking to an AI. |
| 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. |
| Damn this development is hars for Okabe! Pretty great episode though, but so much scars are being opened up again. Really interesting development in general and I do wonder what will happen next. The Xmas party sure looks fun! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Okabe has PTSD I’m assuming? |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Is it a coincidence that I'm literally watching this in Christmas of 2018? The American scientist dude is pretty cool! He sure knows how to party and get along with the cosplayers. That includes Ruka which he apparently called sexy! XD But he's a guy... Suzuha badass moment there! I wonder how she keeps her pistol maintained and kept concealed on her breast when she moves like that. Goddamn, Okabe got a loud ass phone speaker! They could hear his conversation with Kurisu, Amadeus! And finally, Okabe got the flashback he doesn't want just as he was starting to open up to Kurisu Amadeus. |
  |
| Lol that was fun. I wonder what will happen. I don't rememevr though what happened last 2 episodes because I caught this after 10 months. |
| >"But he's a man." >world falls apart as SG S1 ED plays. |
 |
| Even Amadeus Kurisu knows what she wouldve said if Okabe called her Christina. Poor Okabe going into shock after realizing that Kurisu is in fact dead (making him remember the times they had together) - Did he change world lines? "But he's a dude" - Oh how I've missed that :D |
 |
| I feel sorry for Rintarou :( He just wants Kurisu back, back all he has is an AI. My heart broke when he remembered everything from the original anime :(( |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Ruka is cute but he's a guy. Kurisutina is here but she's an AI. Yuki should've suspecting Suzuha anytime soon. I'm expecting the same twist from the main series, therefore my guess would be that professor or Maho is evil, at least on Okabe's perspective. |

| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I wonder if there was any reason in cramming Leskinen and Maho at the Christmas party, other than allowing Maho to snap Okabe out of it. |
  |
| Things are starting to pick up! S;G always giving the best cliffhangers |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Looks like Okarin is slowly getting deluded bringing some heavy memories of his time leaping I wonder who that little girl was with Suzuha in her flashback |
 |
I caught GochiUsa and Love Live! The School Idol Movie at the beginning. Just in case you cannot tell... |

Here, I took the same Love Live! image at the right, used an Oil Painting filter on it, and changed the amount of colors (low saturation + warmth) + downsized it. Can you tell now?  Above the girls are a picture of the main GochiUsa characters. |
