It was absolute top-tier for like the first 75% of the show, genuinely made me tear up hard and the sci-fi concepts were well played with. Then it kinda stopped making sense and got a bit convoluted, still good though and Ep. 22 was pretty great, even if out of all the girls in the series Mikase did the least for me aside from Moeka, they were all cuter/better realized.
They should've drawn out Okabe's suffering in having to let go of Mikase more, he accepted her fate pretty quickly despite their eventual relationship. In general he needed to have a bigger snap toward intimacy and love for his character development. I don't think he ever even hugged poor Mayuri aside from in the flashback.
Overall a genuinely amazing character throughout but for fucks sake when Ruka-chan is having the day of her life in the only timeline where she can be with you, fucking turn around and kiss the girl you absolute piece of shit. You absolute fucking shitstain.
pls respond, I know I'm only like 6 years too late

Luka's a scumbag, willing to sell out his own, autistic sister because "No way, fag". The "turns out the cause of all this is just some literally who" ending was very unsatisfying. The only good ending was Suzuha's, followed by Mayuri's. And what the fuck was even the point of Faris?
It's got its highs, but it's extremely overrated.
Thomas Brown
That's a cute Suzu

stop it user

yeah it's pretty good if you want suffering Okabe then play 0 or wait for the anime

Read the VN, also S;G0.
Having more time to explain itself makes it feel less convoluted, the relationships are more fleshed out, and S;G0 is Okabe suffering: The Worldline.
Joseph Brooks
Mayuri best girl. That's why anime ending was shite.
Grayson Lopez
The slice of life scenes where they're just fucking with each other are 10/10.
Fair amount of dumb shit in the sci fi side of things but it's one of the few things I've seen where I liked the characters enough that I didn't care how stupid the ending was. Was just happy that they were happy.

Do you want me to end your miserable life? You fucking degenerate
I really liked it but the romance felt off, maybe they should have shown more of them together other than that its a 9/10 from me.

what was the point of Kagari looking like Yuki
Also, Reyes can go fuck herself
Ayden Watson
just finished the vn, about to move on to 0. it was really great.

Finished the VN today, hadn't teared in a while, good shit, is 0 really as good as people says?

It's more convoluted, and the characters get some more prespective
Hunter Martin
What was the point of Kagari
Isaiah Lopez
So, no? Shit was good but can't imagine it getting more convoluted without it becoming a clusterfuck.

I don't care much for Mayuri but that cosplay is seriously too cute

It's alright. Worth playing through just for Maho and Leskinen alone though.

>I dunno man, feels forced Yea, but it's the only ending that answers the question "What would happen if Okabe time leaped over and over?"
Tyler Brown
The (((true ending))) trash is what ruined it. It should have ended once Okabe went back to the first timeline.
Jeremiah Howard
That would leave the misterious message, the fact that Kurisu met Okabe before, but Okabe never met her, and Okabe hearing his own scream, before seeing Kurisu lying in blood, all by all a nonsense, and after all, it's a nice twist of plans and a ending that haven't killed any characters and let Okabe pursuit his romance.
Nicholas Williams
VN is better. Anime was meh.
Aaron Foster
Actions should always have consequences. Okabe made the choice to sacrifice Kurisu. >b-but that would make the beginning seems weird So fucking change it. Writer's have the power to do that.
Samuel Ortiz
>It should have ended once Okabe went back to the first timeline. Why?
James Anderson
Talking only about VN, there are some people that didn't want Kurisu to die, or more than that, they shipped her with Okabe. So if the writer had this idea (the True Ending), he definietly couldn't hold back, as it was to give the anime a happy ending. For those like you, there is Kurisu Ending.
Landon Evans
Yeah, I wonder why people shipped the canon pairing. Truly a mystery.
Anthony King

Just watch episode 23 beta and consider that the end of the series, you evil fuck. The whole John Titor shit definitely meant that no matter what WW3 would happen in the original timeline.
Joshua Campbell
Threadly reminder that Luka's D-Mail is so fucking stupid that the timeline has a 50 percent or so chance of just switching to the Gamma (Fuck you, your parents are dead, Mayuri has cancer and you are an evil rounder and the lab hates you) timeline. Basically Luka causes Y2K. Fucking Faggot.
Ethan Rogers
The designated Okabe suffering worldline is Gamma. >Parents dead due to Y2k >Seperated from Mayuri when you were younger due to chaos of Y2k >Finally meet back up with Mayuri >She has terminal cancer, is dying and has to wear a wig >Join the rounders to pay for the treatment or something >Gadget Lab finds out you are a stone cold fucking murderer >Nobody except Moeka likes you now >Suzuha reveals that in 2036 you have unified the rounders, joined the committee of 300 and become dictator of Japan, under the name Hououin Kyouma

Cameron Kelly
Blame the fact it's a mediocre adaptation, go play the VN now and have a better time.
Kayden Bailey
There is 0 point to Kagari period, let alone at that point in the story.
Jonathan Morales
0 is good but it does have a lot of story problems, most due to not fleshing out a bunch of story threads so it ends up feeling pretty mediocre. I would probably rate it lower if Maho wasn't such a 10/10 character.
Leo Miller
>Kagari will never meet Mayuri ever in the S;G worldline and nobody has any reason to meet her or even know who the fuck she is Worst girl gets worst ending
Isaiah Carter
>Mayuri best girl Said no one ever.
>Blame the fact it's a mediocre adaptation This bait still exists?
Dominic Bailey
Swap Mayuri and Faris around and it's perfect.
Nathaniel Murphy
Not bait but my opinion. The anime skipped and glossed over too much and the story feels pretty meh without Okabe's internal monologues. I can understand why people like it if they only watched the anime but playing the VN first then watching the adaptation was pretty disappointing.
Jackson Nelson
You're either a complete newshit or just baiting in general, but this has been dicussed MANY times: how adaptations work, how the god-tier directing helped A LOT and how the anime works as the best VN adaptation ever created.
I missed huke's designs though.
Brandon Cruz
You are right, it is the best VN adaptation ever but that isn't much of a high bar. Don't get me wrong I am not saying it's bad by any means, I guess I am just being one of those Book>Movie faggots.
Gabriel Russell
Both are very good. I actually prefer Operation Skuld in the anime as they play Skyclad no Kansokusha at a better moment.
I also don't say the anime is better than the VN (of course not), but it's pretty solid as an adaptation and I also watched the anime after the VN.
Let's hope White Fox will not ruin 0. They are pretty horrendous lately.
Elijah Kelly
I have absolutely no faith in 0 doing well just because of how the endings are designed. I would love for it to be successful but I am not going to hold my breath.
Landon Williams
How would you do 0?
Brandon Williams
I can't come up with something that wouldn't be disjointed from reaching 1 ending then restarting to the beginning of the story again. Literally the only thing I can think of is Gehenna's Sigma and end the series but no one would like that.
Gabriel Robinson
Best I could come up with was ending an episode on an Amadeus call and then going from there but it would be really fucking disjointed because you would keep rewinding back to a previous point. for example for Vega and Altair for Gehenna have Okabe answer and then spend 2 episodes or so on Gehenna then rewind and make him spend 3 episodes or so on Vega and Altair.
Colton Gutierrez
They could do something like Danganronpa 3 and at the point where the paths diverge they release 2 episodes with different titles a week where each one is on one of the paths.
Joshua Turner
Then just do PR>VA. There's only one loop shown then.
Caleb Murphy
Why PR>VA? Why not VA>PR? Why not Gehennas.
Benjamin Hall
where is this outlined? I've read both S;G and 0 and I don't remember any of this. I vaguely remember a gamma worldline being mentioned, but not this
Michael Garcia
Gamma Drama CD. Alpha worldline Okabe gets reading steinered there due to Ruka's text as his/her mother showed a SERN scientist who used it to fix their Y2K bug. He has to team up with Gamma Moeka (his ally and fellow rounder) in order to break into the lab and send a D-mail. Okabe hilariously becomes the rounders that break into the Lab.
Christopher Lee
Drama CD.
Mason Thompson
this is probably a stupid question, but the drama CDs are in Japanese, right? So... do you speak Japanese? Or is there English text to go along with it?
Jonathan Torres
Someone has a download to where someone translated it and added video to it too.
Hudson Baker
You can find translated video style things on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=Zy_5EroxIrI here is part one of multiple short parts.
Adam Edwards
VA feeds of from PR, no? It'd make sense to use VA for the second half. Plus, incorporating other routes would complicate things on how the anime presents itself.
It's translated, duh.
Gavin Cooper

Jaxon Howard
Brainlets. It's one of the few time travel things which explain how everything happens. Retards will call it convoluted because it sounds like a valid criticism for why they couldn't understand something explained clearly.
James Baker
I thought I understood it all after S;G, but then with 0, they had times when the worldline changed because of non-time-travel-related stuff, which doesn't make sense to me. I know they explained some of the random worldline shifts as time machine testing by other countries, but that wasn't all of them, was it?
I think part of the place confusion comes in with time travel in general is that at various points in the novels, they portray false information about time travel as fact, because it's what the characters actually believe (or in the case of Suzuha, is just intentionally false sometimes).
Camden Ortiz
>Elite released >Kagari somehow reunites with her in SG world line by some bullshit reasons
Matthew Lee
have they actually announced what Elite will be about yet?
Dominic Brown
Its just Steins;Gate but with additions and shit. Hopefully we get some more Maho. This would make me angry

Oliver Ward
For a brief period during the episodes where he's working his way back removing all the messages to return to the alpha timeline this show was alright, but apart from that it was below-average for me. I found all the characters unrelatable and paper thin and generally the time travel twists weren't all that clever or surprising.
I initially thought there was a really nice bit of characterisation in episode 1 where Okabe says he's about to teach Mayuri about the harsh realities of life and how he won't lend her money, then buys the Oopa and is clearly about to throw it out the window or something along those lines. Then, when she's excited because it's a rare metal one, he decides he's not enough of an asshole to throw out something she badly wants just so he can have his fun playing at being the flamboyant & cruel Hououin Kyouma, and ends up just giving it to her.
No interaction between any two characters in the following 25 episodes was even half as well-constructed or interesting as that 30 second throwaway scene. Just to take an even bigger shit on me, at the end when we see the same Okabe from the same moment in time only receive a plastic Oopa, it doesn't even change the way he acts, so I suppose I misinterpreted that entire scene and totally overestimated the writing?
The one thing I'll give it is that even though the time travel twists were mostly pretty average and unsurprising, the chunk of episodes where he's going back through fixing/removing all the messages they sent do quite nicely mirror the setup episodes from beforehand, and after that it does a good job of conveying the feeling of Okabe being hopelessly lost in time and isolated from having interacted with so many memory-less copies of his friends. It would've hit even harder if the characters he'd ended up isolated from didn't come across as cardboard cutouts, though.
