>We are currently getting ready to release an anime version of Steins;Gate 0, which takes place on an alternate worldline where Makise Kurisu isn't saved.
>In preparation for the release, we are showing the original series (plus alpha [the ova, probably]) today (at 7) and tomorrow. If you don't watch it, you'll be turned into jelly!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
I REPEAT
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
ok
So when is 0 airing?
>Maho will slowly replace Kurisu as the new best girl
What will actually happen is that best girl shitposting will ramp up.
Grown up subaru.
neato, i bought the game but I don't want to upgrade my vita
tell me right the fuck now
>tfw it's been 6 years since S;G aired
The anime was announced alongside the VN you know.
And who cares, the VN was shit like the movie. Only good thing will be seeing Maho and Leskinen animated.
Is it really that surprising?
I thought it was obvious SG0 will get anime from the day the VN got released.
The anime was announced literally years ago
So at what time is the changed episode playing in EST?
Leave being retarded fanboys to EOPs
Why can't they let this series die? The original ended fantastically. But that wasn't good enough and they made an unnecessary movie for no reason. Now they're making a sequel or since it's "0" I guess is a prequel which seems to turn it completely into edgelord shit. This is why we can't have nice things.
You are forgetting about all the drama CDs and spin-off manga/novels.
Also
>being a secondary
0 could've been good since it fit perfectly into the original timeline, it's just that they apparently forgot that the main good thing about S;G was the tight writing of the time travel.
Instead 0 wastes most of its time creating situations for characters to suffer in various ways without properly explaining shit. It also has an awful route structure that severely diminishes emotional impact, and one of the worst characters in Kagari.
Basically the same people who enjoyed the cash grab movie will like this.

>I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to broadcast my opinion anyway
He's absolutely right though.
>hurrrrrrdurrrrrr I'm a secondary faggot
I hate to admit it but I agree. Zero hardly lived up to my expectations.
>all the reviewers on release claiming it was "just as good or even better" than the original
>now it's 10 points bellow S;G on EGS
The honeymoon period really is a real thing. I love Maho and wish she'd been in a better game, but this really was mostly a cash grab with some unused ideas from the original. Even the CGs and soundtrack oter than Messenger are lazy as fuck.
Very much agreed. Zero was just so bad coming from the original game. I can not help but think that it was just a lazy sequel made to appease the large fanbase.
Everyone here knew from the start it wasn't as good as the original. But your post is still bollocks because it's still good, and the CGs and soundtrack are on par with the original. Go look at the CGs for the original game again.
>re-awake
>lazy as fuck
you take that back
>an alternate worldline where Makise Kurisu isn't saved
dropped
What the fuck was that shit? This was not what I fucking wanted from the game. I wanted to see Okabe actually go through WW3. I wanted to see him research time travel with Daru, and how to make a fucking time machine. I wanted to see his relationship with Mayuri pan out, especially once Mayuri knows about her being the reason Kurisu died. With the introduction of Kagari, I wanted to see Mayuri raise a child. The same thing with Daru. I wanted to see Faris and Luka grow as actual characters. I wanted to see how Maho fit into the future story once she was introduced.
I got barely any of this besides hints. I got to play pussy okabe for more than 75% of the game. I got exposition on characters I could not give 2 shits about. I got straight up lazy writing when it comes to the plot. I got a halfbaked Kurisu replacement which should not have been in the fucking game at all. I got a non-ending, which seems to be purposely left that way to sell anime. I got incredibly lazy and some downright badly drawn CGs. In the end, I was fucking bored throughout nearly my entire playthrough.
Not to say I didn't enjoy and love the game, I just found it incredibly disappointing. It has some incredibly strong points, with Daru and Maho being excellent characters, an excellent soundtrack, and when Okabe stops being a pussy absolutely amazing scenes (Braun, return of Kyouma). It's just not what I was expecting at all. My hopes were probably a little high, but I still think the game really could have done better with some more meat, less Okabe sighing at everyone.
Sorry, that was pretty nice, but then again it's played like twice.
The rest of it was just a tad repetitive for me. Messenger (piano) was in literally every sad/depressed scene.
When will they stop milking this shit and focus on other titles?
>it's played like twice
That's the point. It's so good precisely because when you finally hear it you know shit's about to get hype as fuck.
It lived to my expectation, but mostly because I didn't expect much from it other than being a decent adaptation of Epigraph anyway.
>focus on other titles?
They already did.
C;C is getting a fandisc, A;C and O;9 VN coming soon.
>Fate/Zero
>Steins;Gate 0
Let me guess, It's gonna be edgy as fuck compared to the original series right?
We recently had Occultic;9 anime recently with Occultic;9 and Anonymous;Code VN's releasing sometime later and Chaos;Child anime is airing right now.
Yes and worse writing too.
...
It's more depressing than edgy anyway.
>SG0 anime
>still haven't finished VN
I guess I need to hurry then?
I don't know if this is a pasta, but it's also a pretty accurate review. That's what I'd say about the game too.
>Newcomer
>not good
>Future of Spirit
>not good
>Tactics in Confusion
>not good
>Her Community
>not even better than the original Human Community
>Easygoing Members
>not a good version of the Easygoingness ringtone
So what is Robotics;Notes getting?
It's a repost of something I posted a while ago. It does seem a little like pasta, but I was pretty pissed when I wrote it.
how's the VN compared to the original VN? any sequelitis?
Gunvarrel anime. I fucking wish
its an alternative story.
are they making it 12 episodes like C;C?
Don't worry, 0 has 3 variations of kurisu. Except it's the worst clone that gets all the focus.
Yes, most of it is suffering or pandering with writing not nearly as good. It's got some good moments for most of the secondary cast though, and a new best girl with Maho.
>amadeus kurisu
literally more plot device than character with 0 good scenes
>real kurisu
is real and good, but only has one scene. great scene nonetheless
>kagari
LOL
>Worst clone
It was fun seeing a Mayuri Kurisu.
Pretty great, though the original is still better.
weebs
they took their time on this anime. pretty sure its going to be as many episodes as it needs to be.
>12 episodes
>only adapt Gehenna's Stigma
>amadeus kurisu baiting the evil hakase and teasing her "how does it feel to get baited lmao"
>not a good scene
every scene that has reyes in it is hammy as fuck and boring
They took their time with C;C too, yet it still got 12 only.
Not when she's getting btfo
>great scene
Why did Kagari regaining her memory change it back to a world where SERN would create a dystopia in the alpha worldline, which means Okabe had sent a D-mail at some point?
Why didn't Okabe ask Kurisu to see what D-mail she was sending to "fix" the world line, so he'd have a better understanding of what the fuck was going on? I guess whatever she sent influenced certain organization to put pressure on Leskinen to stop the Amadeus research?
If so, how did alpha Kurisu know that stopping Amadeus research would lead back to the beta worldline?
It was nice and emotional, but fuck the random unexplained timeline shifting in SG0. The well clearly defined plot that just clicked together perfectly was the best part of the original.
Steins;Gate is a special case. they only did 12 because of C;H being 12 ep,
all good points. I liked the scene mainly because I felt so happy for okabe, but you are correct that it is very hard to make sense out of
Twin Automata was the best ending in the VN, with Amadeus' acting knocking it out of the park.
I agree that she was too much of a Bond villain though.
>yfw it's 12 episodes for each ending
Pretty much. They somehow put in 3 variations and it still wasn't really enough.
Giving Amadeus more focus instead of Kagari would have worked better.
Pretty sure Amadeus got loads of focus in Altair branch.
>Why did Kagari regaining her memory change it back to a world where SERN would create a dystopia in the alpha worldline, which means Okabe had sent a D-mail at some point?
Because without her memories DURPA doesn't get timetravel tech, changing the worldline
>Why didn't Okabe ask Kurisu to see what D-mail she was sending to "fix" the world line, so he'd have a better understanding of what the fuck was going on? I guess whatever she sent influenced certain organization to put pressure on Leskinen to stop the Amadeus research?
>If so, how did alpha Kurisu know that stopping Amadeus research would lead back to the beta worldline?
Kurisu sent Okabe something like "Don't be a pussy and delete the D-mails from Echelon"
The lame thing is that since there are multiple parties experimenting with time travel you can bullshit many plotholes with "lol someone experimenting fucked the worldline up"
They should have been more detailed on what their experiments were
old news.
until they post date idaf
As a plot device, sure. As a character, not really.
Finally!
>Why did Kagari regaining her memory change it back to a world where SERN would create a dystopia in the alpha worldline, which means Okabe had sent a D-mail at some point?
Wasn't the change answering Amadeus's cry for help?
I was under the impression that it was something like:
>SERN or maybe the committee for some reason decides to try and steal Amadeus
>answering the call will lead to SERN finding out everything about the time machine
>meaning they'll build their dystopia in the future, since all they really need are the info and kurisu which they technically have
>meaning Suzuha's time machine's existence is now paradoxical
>shift
I assume the events of the new alpha line either play out as the original S;G did, except Okabe deletes the d-mail and finds out that it's not enough and decides to give up and Kurisu latter finds out the link that leads SERN to their door is Amadeus, or the Suzuha of this worldline came back and told them straight out it was Amadeus.
At which point she sends a D-mail that ends up stopping the creation of Amadeus, thus undoing that worldline.
I agree that Kurisu probably should have told Okabe what her D-mail was, but it didn't fit into their narrative at the moment since Okabe wants nothing to do with anything and is content to just let things happen as they happen, and Okabe mentioning what happens in the Beta worldline (WW3, the existence of Steins;Gate) was probably something that they didn't feel like adding. Kind of lazy.
So this means
>little to no flesh and blood Kurisu
>no Okabe×Kurisu OTP moments
I literally don't care about 0 now.
>little to no flesh and blood Kurisu
It's a VN in which her death shapes the story.
What the fuck did you expect anyway?
>no Okabe×Kurisu OTP moments
Oh, how wrong you are.
Anyway, just stop being a filthy secondary and go play 0. It's on nyaa.
which rock were you hiding under, OP?
>tfw someday we might get a s;g continuation with both maho and kurisu
Let's not pretend like the original wasn't just endless variations of Gate of Steiner.
>people are waiting for the anime instead of playing the vn
literally what is the point if it doesnt have fight scenes
その目だれの目？
S;G0 brings more glorious Maho and Leskinen posting.
In all honestly I am glad the anime is coming out, both for curiosity of how the fuck they will pull it off without it being a clusterfuck, and I do really want Maho figures, like really badly.
Retard.
If it's one cour it's already RIP.
And I hope MAGES fucking fails if it is
I want to lock Maho in my room and put the key on a shelf that's too high for her to reach.
>no Okabe×Kurisu OTP moments
They even hold hands.
>anime gets announced
>years later, news about when it's airing gets released
>OHMAIGOD ANIME CONFURMED XD
Newfags.
I'm actually really excited for the anime because I feel like having more constraints will mean they'll streamline it and make it less of a clusterfuck. The people who adapted the original were pretty good and I think they can understand that giving no explanation in an anime wouldn't really work. And being forced to change the narrative from the branching route structure to a more linear one for an anime is a good thing.
Maybe I'm too optimistic.
It was certainly a good job done on the original adaptation and I'd certainly like to think that's down to the people involved just doing a bang-up job.
But part of me fears it was a fluke.
Wow it's like that wasn't announced with the useless prequel Zero is. Overall Zero isn't needed but they made it to milk S;G some more because the rest of SciAdv series wasn't capable like Steins Gate in bringing home money.
That they went out of their way to reorganize things for the anime instead of a 1-1 adaptation and still capture the original essence makes me think they really knew what they were doing.
About time.
>prequel
>Zero isn't needed
That's completely wrong. The events of Zero have to occur for the True End of the original to even be possible. Leaving a story that important to the original plot as a collection of obscure untranslated LNs would be a mistake.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know, the original's ending was more than satisfying enough.
The only thing they really ever addressed that was important in the true end was where the inspiration for deceiving the world came from. 0 itself ends on sort of the same note, with the huge skip from the end of VA to MWC.
In my eyes Zero was not a story that needed to be told. I was satisfied with just Future Okabe sending that message during the true route.
>What's the Epigraph Trilogy
Keep denying it
Does Epigraph really explain that could have used more explanation from the original? There's Arclight but that whole Mayuri plotline is basically a spinoff solving a problem it created.
Kagari was literally the most pointless thing in the whole VN. What the fuck was the point in her character? Her route was shit too.
No. Dont try to argue with fanboys, they will fight till the bitter end to protect everything their favorite franchise produces. They have no sense of ambiguity. God forbid something that prints money is being made just to print money. Cant accept that. ITS CRUCIAL STORY MATERIAL 100% ARTISTIC PURSUIT OF THE PLOT.
