| This episode is by far the best one in stien;gate 0 so far. |
| The entire season made me confused and weirded out rather than intrigued and glued to the screen like Season 1. Idk, it just doesn't click as well, it feels convoluted and misdirected. And it lacks all groundedness the first season had, Suzu taking on 20 dudes with M16s without receiving ONE fatal hit? Yeh sure. The professor speech was also cheesy as hell and I always knew he was a scheming fuck, given his nasty eyes and perplexing stare. Felt zero emotion throughout except "WTF is going on right now?". Definitely not a worthy successor to Season 1 in my book. Feel free to rip me apart tho. :D |

| Just realized that this episode had 8 animation directors. The more, the worse. More conflicts in production and signs that this episode was behind schedule and needed extra support. Normally, S;G 0 episodes have 1-2 animation directors, but this... jeez, must've been a disaster of a production. |

| This is just so bad…. The plot is more needlessly convoluted than intriguing , the pacing all over the place and the new characters are so underdeveloped and uninteresting that I can’t feel anything for them. The professor is just a cliché nobody comic book villain and Kagari is so uninteresting and underdeveloped that you simply don’t care about her or her death. Her “fight” with the soldiers was an insult to the eyes and her death or rather her multiple deaths were handled so badly that it came across as more comical than sad. At least the original steins gate remains good. |
| When I saw the professor, I knew something was wrong. That punch from Suzaha at the end was really satisfying though. Can anyone explain why people are saying that the VN's are now better? |
| Damn, this was some heavy episode! I would’ve seriously wept my eyes out if I were to watch this in my room alone and not in school. Kagari’s lone assault was admirable and super badass. Coupled with that, the fluidy animation made it all the more spectacular to watch. But it sure was depressing to see her pass away like that. Mayuri and Suzuha finally got to get on the time machine but then the demise struck. I’m curious to see how Okarin will respond to this now. Mayuri’s message with that sad soundtrack was just brilliantly thought out, but depressing all the more. 4/5 to this Episode, as it felt rushed in a way. Looking forward to the next epsiode. |

| Wait... Did they both die...? There are two possible ways to interpret this, one good and the other bad... There are 5 episodes left. Either it changes the subject or we get surprises :O |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I liked this episode but couldn't understand who were the ones attacked leisken's troops.Darpa?The research center??? |
 |
| I understand this is also an adaption from a visual novel, as is the original, but Jesus did it take awhile to pick up... And now that it has I can't say I'm really surprised, fooled, or understanding what I could do to provoke the latter... |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Daru: 'wait! don't kill him so he can make an epic comeback later! also you'll become evil if you kill the boss. fuck the 20 soldiers you killed who were just following orders.' |
| I’m fucking crying... |
| The fight scenes really make me stop watching this series since they are part of it. Also the story is much simpler than the OG. The characters lost their charisma and this turned to be a harem for the firts episodes. The twists were obvious and I couldn't care less about the characters since we already know how they end... So for me the series is really being a ZERO out of ten. Ha. You get it... ZERO like S;G 0 |
 |
| Am i watching Matrix? Can Kagari stop bullets too?Is she the one? Overall 5/5 ep. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| Kagari chopping the heads off with her bare hands... Oh and I wish Suzuha just killed Leskinen, way less problems if he's dead. BulletKing said: I am so angry and confused at how they handled that... I don't really want to spend what free time I have to rant on this but the way they wrote this was plain horrible and put more holes in the plot theta it already had. Was that there version of the bad ending we had to get like way long ago? Major spoiler Can you spoil me a bit more? |
Better ignore that stuff. The VN spans across multiple worldlines and the anime is its own new worldline. Also there are major differences between each including the characters. Its a bad idea to dive deeper into this as it will be just confusing and might spoiler major VN plotpoints. Also some things might still get adapted, at least that one wont. So just be careful till the anime ends, or better read the VN to make your own picture. Just to give you an short answer though: |

| Wow, this is a new kind of bad. It was terrible in so many ways. So many things wrong with it... It has become a mess even bigger than the vn. |
| You're not an action anime, so stop trying to be one.. XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
BulletKing said: @sanlei Honestly you're literally just confusing people by saying the chapter names lmao. At least try to explain to anime only watchers in a simple manner. Simple is better. I've had people pm'ing me asking wtf you're on about on Vega & Altair and the other shortened terms lol. @PerlaNemesis They dont need to understand the chapter names/acronyms to understand that those are distinct characters. Its easier to tell characters apart by their route/chapter names instead of using something like this: 1.129954β/1.129848β Kagari (=VN VA Kagari) 1.064750β/1.053649β/1.055821β Kagari (=VN PR Kagari) 1.097302β (=Anime Kagari) That only focuses on Kagari. And then we also have 1.130205β from Arclight which also includes: 1.129848β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130212β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130211β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130209β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130208β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130206β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd 1.130205β The Arc of Light of Infinity Drama Cd ... etc. You should start to view it as a complement instead of an adaption. Im not discounting how great the VN is, by defending the anime route lol. Its just more interesting for me and i love seeing Arclight which is far better than what we got in the VN. I prefer the anime version of V&A, aside from smaller issues like the straight up copied Amadeus messages without the context why it adresses Okabe, they overrushed that bit without appropriate changes for example, just by hinting at it in 16 for whatever reason. Im hyped for MWC which wont be just a short scene alone thanks to Arclight. I also suggested myself to go read the VN instead of reading our explanations as you are also including further spoilers for the VN, while i tried to keep it more vague by just saying "different purpose/different character traits" in the context of the anime rather than explaining how and why different it is. I also have the feeling the anime will touch on something you spoiled. |

| That CGI helicopter stood out like a sore thumb though XD |
| Well, I don't read the VN so Idk how they handled this part, but the screenwriting of today's episode was... quite disappointing. I get the point they're trying to tell, but damn how I wish they had tweaked the package a little bit more... Cause, such a waste of good talents! Those VAs, damn! Some of the best out there. Top notch. Swell. One-two animation "mehs" here and there is fine for me, if one could even it out by good writing (?)

| Huge episode! There is a lot of action and revelation! |
| This was a bunch of shit. I respect even more the original show. |
| Truth be told, I think Daru is getting undeserved criticism here and I don’t think that Daru is wrong or that there is anything wrong with his morals. Daru wanting to stop Suzuha was not a problem. The problem is that they should have tied or cuffed Leskinen so as not to give him the chance for any comeback. If nothing like this was possible Suzuha, for example, could have broken Leskinen’s arm to make sure his not going to cause any problems. There was a wide range of possibilities that the characters may have done to stop Leskinen other than killing him, but did not. |
| "The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and as a natural consequence he always looks absolutely delightful." |
| RIP Kagari. You wont be missed. |
| "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." |
| Honestly, this is just too boring. I don't know how I've been watching this painfully terrible protagonist Rintaro has transformed to. It's been 18 episodes and he's still so irritating to watch. This sequel should have never happened, it's made things all the more confusing. The animation this episode felt like watching a slideshow in PP |
BulletKing said: They don't need to understand the chapter names I agree but adding them there just makes it more confusing for people. You literally could just say this was the Kagari of this other world line, or the Mayuri of this world line, etc... I know you mean well but I'm just giving my two cents lol. I do view it as a complement to the vn of course, as I do with most vns understanding that it's hard to actually make an adaptation of long ones but can't help but get disappointed because if anyone could pull it of you'd think it would've been whitefox. : and he asked to be spoiled so I don't see the problem in telling them in with a spoiler button. xD The adaptations do make me want to replay the games but I've been too busy lately which is kinda sad. ;-; Guess a disclaimer would help to not make them confused, so yeah will add it when talking about differences vaguely. Dunno, i feel like too many are thinking its as close as original S;G, which was a rather linear story anyway via its hub and omitted smaller endings, so they dont think that small changes in the worldlines could make such a difference in the overall story of 0 and therefore not realize what kind of spoiler they ask for. Again im sure the next 5 episodes will differ more, so i wouldnt be sure what counts as a VN spoiler at this point. I dont understand certain changes yet either: You could try to replay smaller bits alongside the anime. But yeah i know that feeling. I thought of replaying the original S;G, but meh i hate the old choices system and its too time-consuming. Also more fun to reread 0 alongside the anime in smaller doses to see how they do adapt things in this new worldline. Doesnt help that elite is on the way too. Thought of rewatching the original S;G anime alongside 0, but i just dont like the original S;G anime as much. It was great the first time, especially before reading the VN, but all the interesting bits that arent in the memory are in the VN. So i just find the original anime boring aside from comparing parts that will be referenced in 0 anime. Oh well waiting for elite xD  |

| Since Kagari came from the future , is she gone for good? Leskinen was super predictable , but I wonder if that was the woman professor that got killed by Kagari last episode . I feel like more roles will surface soon |
| The best episode so far |
 |
| The best episode so far |
|
| Was anyone actually surprised Leskinen was a bad guy? |
| That was really bad Please go play the VN and stop watching this As for this episode it'll deserve a 1/5 Disappointed ... |
 |
| Amazing, just amazing.... 666/5 |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| I find Kagari being that OP bullshit (well her character is bullshit too so...) and she died. One of the most anti-climatic deaths I have ever seen and the twist that Leskinen was the villain was just forced since he's kinda irreleveant to the story. 0.5/5 episode |
 |
| terrible animation, super cheesy episode/lines.. and generally just not good. Disappointing. |
