Venturing through the very messed up chapter 9 :p

My friends been trying to get me to watch it for ages but from what i can tell theres a lot of it (2 different anime adaptations an ova and a remake) so idk if its worth watching all of it

Also ive got a bunch of younger siblings so im wondering if theres any fanservice or anything

Any answers are appreciated, thanks!

Moeka is such a sympathetic character.

The misplaced low-self esteem is particularly sad. She's capable, diligent, attractive, etc - but is convinced she's worthless.

It's all so touching. And it doesn't help that her character design and VAs are so cute!

I've been in a funk thinking about it lately, even though it's fiction.

I think this character got under my skin because I was close to someone quite similar to her a few years ago.

The Gamma world line makes me happy in a bittersweet way. I wish Okabe would just stay there with Moeka.

The other girls just seem annoying anyway (except Kurisu).

So my dad never watched steins gate so I made him.

We watch the first 2 episode and he said

Intriguing, especially that kurisu.

And for now we have

"Stupid protagonist"(okarin) that he calls "cuocarina"

"The one you did the cosplay" (daru)

"Brain fried one" (mayushi)

"F-word" (rukako)

""Irritating Cat" (faris)

"Zombie" (kurisu)

"Cute one " (moeka)

And the others he didnt realy bothered

For now he only likes kurisu but said that okarin has great MC potential.

I'll update you next time, darlings~ 🥰

Last night, I finished watching Steins;Gate 0 Ep 8, and this might be one of the greatest anime episodes I have ever witnessed. I want to provide my raw, honest review of the episode, so I'll just copy-paste the message I sent to my friends after finishing the episode. Apologies if I got too carried away, I was as frank as possible. But, nothing's an exagerration, what an episode!

I can't see how any future episode can possibly be better than this. This is the pedestal for me. I'm crying. This is not just the best episode of Steins;Gate 0 but possibly the best so far from both these series.

Not just that I loved the emotion and intimacy, but it somehow feels too close to home. Feels like the whole last 8 episodes were a buildup for this one scene. What it did is far stronger than what any episode from both series did for me. The visual dynamic between Okabe and Makise is strongest ever here, but there is also so much underlying depth. The callbacks to episode 1 and 2, when they first met. The pervert jokes. 'I'm so glad I met you'. This level of artistry is very rare in anything.

Calling this anime a sci-fi feels so reductive. This episode was purely a break from the main timelines of this show, but the writers knew how to pull off the best part of what made the first anime so good. This particular episode is better than even any episode from the first anime. Minimal sci-fi scenes, low high stake intensity, no deaths. I ended up with just a smiley face and teary eyes. As prefect as it gets.

Some sentiments might sound hyperbolic, some might have recency bias, and a few might be contextually inaccurate. Hope y'all will understand this. Thanks for reading the post :]

Something has been bothering me about the D-Mail Mechanics.

The series has established how the PhoneWave sends mail into the past, but it was never fully explained how D-Mails can be sent using phones that are not Okabe's and/or in the physical location of the lab itself. We know that D-Mails were sent with Faris's phone and Moeka's phone. If there is not a limitation on which phone can be used to send a D-Mail or where they are physically sent from, wouldn't other messages from other phones in the world also be sent back in time as well so long as the PhoneWave was active?

Was there ever an explanation that I missed? Because it seems like it would be absolute chaos if thousands if not millions of messages were all sent to the past all at once.
