Mixed Feelings
For 22 out of the 23 episodes I watched, I thought I was watching a completely different series.

While some may say the first half of the og SG was boring, dull, and too SOL, I loved it more than the gripping narrative of the second half, the characters were so lovable that I could just watch them mess around forever. The lab members and their daily conversations and sometimes sneak peeks at their inventions made them such endearing characters that I was sure that I will forever love these characters.

Well, I was proven wrong, SG0 single handily destroyed that impression. Okarin became a wojak, an empty shell of just showing one emotion in his existence. Mayushii was just there to love Okarin. Daru went from an otaku creep that sometimes does amazing shit to a dad, at least he's a dad that won't turn his daughter into a dog. Despite all this, I liked Christina role, her being an empty AI is a huge difference from the old tsundere girl that goes on 4chan all day, makes Okarin miss her, and makes me miss her. Other LabMems were not only uninteresting and unappealing, they just didn't feel like they were there when they were in a scene. And Mr.Braun, being one of my favorite things about the second half of the original, was just kinda there to move the plot when he was needed in SG0.

All the previous were just character comparisons, I'm not going to compare the story of the original to this one since I honestly couldn't find a plot for the majority of SG0 despite it seemed to be pretty plot driven, and I'm not a good writer.

Now let's talk about the new characters, Maho, Kagari and the professor (others can be excluded though I did kinda like that one episode where Daru go on a date). Maho is pretty cute but inferior to Christina in every way and the show is fine with her just having that status quo, the professor is a plot tool, and so was Kagari, this is kinda it to the new characters.

Scores

Art 3, sometimes it looks good, but majority of the time it's pretty ugly to look at, there weren't really any interesting shots to cover the poor art, and the animation is downright awful at times, but steins gate was never about le epic sakuga fights.

Sound 7, music was good as always, but were repeated a lot, I clearly remember one episode where the same track was played back to back within a couple minutes.

Character 2, 1 extra point cuz of my nostalgia

Enjoyment is same as my overall, 5
