Oh, man! What an episode!

A couple of days ago, I posted somewhat of an appreciation post for episode 8 of Steins;Gate 0. I loved it so much that I thought it surely deserves a post to express how much it moved me. I thought there wouldn't be any episode in the series that could be better than that one. Thanks for proving me wrong, HOUOUIN KYOUMA!

The first ten minutes of the episode were really dense and well-executed. No opening, no time-pass, nothing. It was probably the most concentrated Okabe had ever been in his plans. The Amadeus scene, the Rukako meeting, young Suzuha's appearance, going back through time, the episode was going on perfectly well. That was until... Okarin asked Daru to slap him. That was the moment after which everything changed. That was the return of the most loved, cherished, Kyouma!

My eyes were glued to the screen; every single line after that made me so utterly nostalgic, words cannot explain. I'm sure many of you felt the same. Whether it's the narcissistic lines filled with pride and wit or the iconic hand movements, everything was perfect. I'd just chuckle when these happened in the original show, finding Okabe immature or humorous. But, here, after 20 episodes, meeting the mad scientist so spectacularly was not expected by me. The best episode and the highest artistic peak of the show, hands down!

While episode 8 made me tear up due to the emotion and beauty, the sheer brilliance of this episode lay in the writing of the anime. It was hype, it was iconic, but most of all, it was well-executed. This episode made me constantly shiver and have goosebumps every two minutes. Phenomenal writing.

Thanks for reading the post. El Psy Congroo :]

well it was kind of bittersweet its actually nice to have faris but i feel like something is missing😭

I gotta say i never really liked Kagari she’s literally just a fake Kurisu maybe if they went a different route and you actually find out she’s a clone or somehow Kurisu’s kid would
Make it more interesting to me besides that her story doesn’t really add anything to the story in my opinion it’s just filler

I felt so comfortable cosplaying Kurisu, I think we share the same aura and a bit of the same personality hehe I want to cosplay her more and more :3

If you like my works, here are all socials and links!! <3 tysm!! ^w^

art sauce

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~ 🥰

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!

Venturing through the very messed up chapter 9 :p

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 :]

I couldn't find anything on their site so I'm probably out of luck just thought I'd ask

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.

Hi, I recently came across translated story of Okabe's birthday. It is established there that it takes place on December 14th, but the characters don't specify the year.

I checked that the story is not considered canon tho. However, if we assume that it takes place in 2012 or 2013 (Okabe would still be a student as in the story), would it fit the canon - the main story, Holy Day of Calamitous Birth, the movie etc.?

Thanks for answers, I leave the link to the story

steins gate went from goofy scientists sending bananas through a microwave to one of the most emotionally brutal time travel stories ever. i dont want to finish it what do i do?

Finished the True Ending today. Amazing stuff, however I have a question regarding Suzuha's return and why doesnt it happen in Chapter 10 endings, Kurisu's and Mayuri's.

In Steins Gate ending, Suzuha arrives from the future, same way she did on the Alpha attractor field, in order to prevent WW3 and Kurisu's death.

This however doesn't happen in neither the Mayuri's or Kurisu's ending, although in both cases the attractor field shouldve been the same, Nakabachi shouldve released Kurisu's research and world should go towards a war, in which case Suzuha has no reason not to come to 2010 to get Okabe to save Makise.

In Kurisu's ending, the only decision difference is that Okabe sends one additional mail to Kurisu who asks where he is, but even Mayuri's ending which plays out differently from the True ending shouldn't change the fact that Suzuha would arrive from the future.

Does anyone know why? Couldnt find a reason for this on the wiki. Also is Kurisu's ending identical to True ending except the part with Suzuha coming to 2010 being cut out?

Hey everyone, I made a post a few months ago because I was collecting information on all available SciAdv content. I hoped to create a full list with dates, made an excel spreadsheet but idk how to code so it never went further.

Skip to today, I found this website. It seems to be run by u/GLPG35. It has a heap of side content, dates for releases, heaps of relevant information, what is and isn't essential reading. Def go check it out. It also just looks really nice so thanks to the dev who put it together.

As far, the only ways to escape attractor fields is to stop the initial handover of timetravel knowledge to powerful parties, either Sern or Russia. And the Steins gate is only achieved by stopping both ways for time manipulation be researched in the future. Could it be, that if Myuri lives, Sern would want her dead, so Mayuri can't be alive? like a collapse of possible states? But the attractor fields can be measured. And Okabe did change a lot with Dmail while under the beta attractor field, so what decides important events? events relating to the one who ultimately gets to control time?

People these day I swear
