Steins;Gate 0

Introduction

The eccentric, self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintarou Okabe has become a shell of his former self. Depressed and traumatized after failing to rescue his friend Makise Kurisu, he has decided to forsake his mad scientist alter ego and live as an ordinary college student. Surrounded by friends who know little of his time travel experiences, Okabe spends his days trying to forget the horrors of his adventures alone. While working as a receptionist at a college technology forum, Okabe meets the short, spunky Maho Hiyajo, who later turns out to be the interpreter at the forum's presentation, conducted by Professor Alexis Leskinen. In front of a stunned crowd, Alexis and Maho unveil Amadeus—a revolutionary AI capable of storing a person's memories and creating a perfect simulation of that person complete with their personality and quirks. Meeting with Maho and Alexis after the presentation, Okabe learns that the two were Kurisu's colleagues in university, and that they have simulated her in Amadeus. Hired by Alexis to research the simulation's behavior, Okabe is given the chance to interact with the shadow of a long-lost dear friend. Dangerously tangled in the past, Okabe must face the harsh reality and carefully maneuver around the disastrous consequences that come with disturbing the natural flow of time.

this is "nice" but white focks 9/10 . story 10/10 : by the way. why people like "insert some isekai fans in here" judging midquel? like dragon ball super and metal gear solid the phantom pain 5. because it's just a mid. and steins gate sequel maybe hit you with some depressions and normies okabe. don't worry . art 6/10 : anime adaptation is sucks. but story makes me 12/10 steins gate franchise doesn't need "your trashy isekai fanservices" with "well animations" but up to 16 episodes. animation is wow. this is what i wanted to see . sound (IT'S OVER 9000!): FUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *messenger play* i listen to this music everyday . character 8/10 : normies Okabe sucks, Maho is so sad. thanks to Okabe, mayuri makes another loops, suzuha is. waw. beta chars, Daru is the mc now (joking but this is…

****There might be spoilers**** *This review is about Steins;Gate 0, not about the original anime Steins;Gate* Story Rarely, I came across an anime like this. For me, it was the perfect anime. Never have I gotten shivers so often like I did while watching this. Even though it's just an adaptation of a game - thus this anime gives us one of the most beautiful and at the same time shocking stories I've ever seen in my life. It shows us, that time and space is a thing that no human should ever touch or change, because if done, it'll have horrific consequences. It is also showing us the beautiful, funny and amazing relationship between the protagonist and his friends and his suffering of his lost friend Makise Kurisu, who sacrificed herself for the sake of a 'perfect' world line. But Oka…

Have you ever wanted to see a main protagonist who’s constantly tried to save the world, experienced years upon grief and despair only for him to realise how meaningless it is, reside to his fate and eventually give up? Well your in luck because that’s what Steins; Gate 0 is about! By saying that, How does one write another compelling, complex story about time travel to a beloved & acclaimed franchise without making it feel like another rehash of the Fate series? You strip away everything the fans loved about the original: Okabe’s self proclaimed, eccentric mad scientist persona ‘Houoin Kyouma’- Gone Makise Kurisu- Gone Tons of lighthearted, fun moments and character interactions between the lab members- Gone (don’t worry there’s still a lot, I’d just argue not as many) Then watch how t…

This anime has gotten me depressed. The original had me the same way, and this one takes the cake. I have no words to comprehend this, but it is a must WATCH!!! It has all the ingredients of Steins;Gate but yet it is more of an emotional train. Hop on and let it speak for itself. No doubt in my mind that this follow up of the original made me laugh, smile, emotional, almost got me crying (I never cry), and most importantly HAPPY. The story captured me, the art is like the original, do not get me going with the SOUNDTRACK it's a must. The character development from our sad scientist and his comrades our amazing, influential, and heartbreaking to see them go :(. I ENJOYED THIS ANIME SO MUCH AND ITS SO SAD TO WATCH ANOTHER GREAT ANIME leave. This anime is unique, creative, and very very psych…

Kaidu-

The development team behind the original Steins;Gate aimed for a rate of 99% science and 1% fantasy. I’m not sure what the anime staff for Steins;Gate 0 were going for, but if I were to guess, it would be 84% rule of cool, 15% fantasy and 2% science. If you paid attention, you probably noticed that those numbers do not add up. That’s on purpose, because Steins;Gate 0 doesn’t really care about making sense or not, and whether you notice those things and let them bug you is entirely up to you. The amateurish team behind the series had to adapt a non-linear Visual Novel that had many routes, each with its own plot points and own character development. As a result, the history was divided into arcs, while still having the main story going on, but not focusing entirely in any of them. If i…

hahaha do not hate me if you read incoherently the words in English is the magic of CTR + C and CTR + V in the translator my mother tongue is Spanish (the truth is sorry) English: I just finished Steins; Gate 0 23/23 "Far from saying that the masterpiece or that the heaviest or most unnecessary series and here one more addition, in the VN everything is better (Haha)" I want to say: I enjoyed Steins; Gate 0 I worried about Okabe Rintaro, I shed tears with Mayuri, I felt very bad for Kurisu / Amadeuz, I enjoyed Daru (crazy fists, unconditional dad), I felt the impotence of not being able to do anything with Suzuha, Maho and his legal loli service , and the other members of the laboratory. Not brothers that nice series, I enjoyed it a lot and I'm sad that they make their reviews starting…

''The way I see it, this world exists because of a choice Kurisu made. I must protect that choice. That is this world’s law. In reliving time, I learned one thing… That certain events converge as if orchestrated by God. Trying to change them… it’s challenging God. And God does not tolerate human arrogance. '' Okabe Rintaro ''This vague, ominous feeling… It’s like living in a nightmare where I know all the bad things to come. Where the world enjoys to rub in the guilt of my unspeakeable sin. This inescapable despair... Slowly becomes a downward spiral... '' Okabe Rintaro Steins;Gate 0 is the bleak reality of the Beta World Line. Basically, it's Okabe's story of the tragic future of the beta line, portraying his depression and how he managed to plan Operation Skuld. Steins;Gate 0 arises fr…

"That day, if my Hikoboshi came back to life, it might have changed everything." Re-review of Steins;Gate 0 after watching the entire series in chronological order (Steins;Gate episodes 1-22, 23b, 0 episodes 1-23, Steins;Gate episodes 23-25). This review is coming from a die-hard fan of the original series that has watched the original anime and 100% completed 0's Visual Novel as well. I originally gave the series an 8/10, but after rewatching it I'm bumping it up to a 9/10 due to the fact that I was able to better absorb the story and the series has one of the strongest finishes in all of anime. Story: I can draw some interesting parallels between the anime adaptation of Steins;Gate 0 and the original Fullmetal Alchemist adaptation. Two stories that adapt from an original source mater…

The original steins;gate is my favourite show of all time so to for me a follow up to that series would have an incredibly difficult task ahead of it. Personally i believe that steins;gate 0 did an incredible job of, in my opinion, matching up with the original. All the characters of this show are so lovingly developed and well written that i think there is not a single character I dislike or think is even remotely poorly written. From the main characters to the considerably smaller ones, (such as Ruka and Feyris) every one feels real and has real depth to them to the point that minor characters in SG are far better than most main characters in a lot of other popular anime and manga. Where in many other shows, episodes which focus on just chara can seem dull to me, in Steins;gate I alway…

Disclaimer: I will not be comparing this to the VN whatsoever, just the fact that it is a bit different in how it's layed out. It's to be expected though; trying to cram the enormous VN into a 23 episode anime was going to be impossible. Also I expect you to fully know what happened in the original Steins;Gate ****This is a Spoiler Free Review***** It's finally back. The awe inspiring, sometimes dramatic, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes tear inducing rollercoaster of a series is back to take you on an another journey. With a continuation of a plot from season 1's "sad ending", the depressing conflicts of Okabe Rintarou's emotions will once again have you engaged like no other. Can he change the outcome by reaching Steins;Gate? Will he return to the "mad scientist" we all know and lov…

Keep in mind this is my first review of any anime. So Steins;Gate 0 is the continuation of episode 23b of Steins;Gate. I personally love Steins;Gate for everything, from the animation to the soundtrack. So I wasn't sure if I was happy it got a sequel, or an inquel or whatever you wanna call it. Story - 10 Steins;Gate 0 continues on a world line where Kurisu dies and Mayuri lives. Due to this choice, Okabe Rintaro is depressed and trying to find a way through the dark. The story progresses quite fast compared to S;G, and introduces characters way faster. What makes the story outstanding and exciting is that the ending is already set. Which is reaching the world line Steins;Gate. What makes it exciting is how they get there, and where will we get our mad scientist back. Art - 8 The artwor…

Depression;Gate 0: An Unserious Review The heart wrenching, time looping, mind melting titan of anime has returned, and holy gel-nanas does it deliver. In case it needs saying, this series only makes sense after watching the original season and the “Divide by Zero” alternate episode 23. Do yourself a favour and make sure you’ve seen that suffer-fest before delving into this one. Steins;Gate 0 feels so very much like the original. The cast are as lovable as ever, the tone can switch from light to dark in an instant, and the world line theory is still just as absorbing. But the real separation between this series and its predecessor is a very noticeable hole in the shape of two personalities: Makise Kurisu and Hououin Kyouma. Where the original creates character tension by pitting these t…

Review in brief: Steins;Gate 0 is a rough showing in a beloved series that goes from cringey to alright to bad at the drop of a hat for its entire duration with few exceptions. It’s not without its moments, but they’re so few and far between that it bears a serious question: “Is this story worth being told?” Unless depression, memes, and a handful of clichés can hold your interest across most of the anime an honest “yes” will be hard to give. **This review assumes that you’ve watched the original Steins;Gate. Inevitable comparisons will be made, but the focus will only be on Steins;Gate 0 and what is necessary to explain it.** Review in full: Welcome to the beta attractor field, where resident sad scientist Okabe Rintaro makes a half-hearted go at preventing inevitable calamity by talk…

What happens when the hero fails to save the day and just gives up? According to Steins;Gate 0, he spirals into a state of complete depression and despair, becoming a shell of his former self. Steins;Gate 0 is an alternate future where protagonist Okabe Rintarou fails to save Makise Kurisu. It’s sort of a “what if” story that shows what would happen if Okabe gave up on trying to reach the sacred Steins;Gate world line in which everyone is happy and there’s no apocalypse in the near future. To put it bluntly, S;G0 was a success. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve been so thoroughly entertained by an anime. Even though it doesn't quite match the quality of the original in my mind, S;G0 was still able to live up to the high expectations set by its predecessor, and it tells a truly compe…

Many who watched this series have missed the point of it, it isn't like the original, no it wasn't supposed to surpass it like many suspected here. It is here to complete it, you may have not noticed but the original had many things that we had yet to see. This isn't a what if story either, this is the story of Okabe who failed to find Steins Gate, the same one who fell under depression because of it. I'll start with story, the STORY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS: Story obviously is a 10 for me. At some point during the Steins;Gate 0 I truly doubted if this was gonna live up to it's hype or fail like many sequels. Many hate it because they expected the mad scientist earlier, many were expecting too many time traveling and got sad. When the first episode of anime aired, it had a score of 9.16 I t…

"WHERE ARE THE JAPANESE SHAMAN GIRLS LINTAHLO?!!" - Good Boi Leskinen Back in 2011, we were stunned by the hit-anime named "Steins;Gate" with its unique story-telling of Sci-Fi, which is time-travel in the anime industry. The industry doesn't have many anime that focuses on time-travel conflicts. So far, the only time-travel anime I've watched were Steins;Gate and ERASED, which both made me amused, excited and thrilled on their unique, individual scenes. Now, this Spring 2018, we were hitted by nostalgia with the return of the Steins;Gate franchise although, instead of it having a sequel, we get a "midquel" of the original Steins Gate. Thus, we get to watch the phenomenal dark story of the franchise named "Steins;Gate 0". Just a brief reminder, before you watch Steins Gate 0, keep in mind…

Man, my feelings toward this anime- though mostly positive- are extremely complicated, which isn’t helped by the fact that I played the visual novel first. So get your popcorn, cuz this review’s gonna be a while! Also, there will be spoilers regarding the original Steins;Gate in this review, since you’re supposed to have played/watched it first anyway. Story- 9/10: So first, I need to establish context for this anime since no official description of it helps in that regard. Remember episode 23 of the original series, when Okarin was about to give up on saving Kurisu? Right then and there, he obtained a video D-Mail from himself 15 years in the future who disclosed the instructions to reach the ultimate happy worldline, Steins Gate. Steins;Gate 0 is THAT Okarin’s story- the Okarin who will…

“Theories are nothing more than words, accept what you’ve seen.” — Okabe (Steins;Gate) Reflecting on one’s past experiences can elicit a host of undesirable thoughts/anxieties that permeate to the surface, causing emotional stress and a feeling of helplessness. The upshot being: the simple act of thinking about said events will not alter the final outcome, making the exercise an unquestionably fruitless one. But in the case of Okabe (where time-travel and reading “steiner” are quite accessible), the ability to improve upon the past is well within the realm of possibilities, allowing for the veritable “happy ending” to occur. This inevitability zaps away a considerable amount of the intrigue for the viewer, especially when a ham-fisted love story is thrown into the fold, making the events…

Time is the whole series when the process, action, or situation is in place or takes place. In this case, the time scale is the interval between two states / events, or it can be the duration of an event. when we are traveling or sleeping we don't know what happened to the situation out there in other words if we pull out a hair what happens to our head? it doesn't have much effect on us to imagine when a piece of hair gets pulled one by one over a long period of time what happens? of course we will feel the impact of a single hair. in the world we live there is nothing that can stop time as our will is like a spinning wheel we live always spinning and experiencing some heavy process and if the wheel loses the chain what happens? the wheel will stop spinning like a world that stops spinn…

There comes a time when fans of a franchise should ask themselves if an established franchise deserves a sequel or not. Let’s face it. Steins;Gate made an impact back in 2011 when it became one of the critically acclaimed adaptations that year. Visuals novels aren’t easy to adapt and in fact, most recent series really proved themselves to be a catastrophe in that territory. Steins;Gate is one of those properties that didn’t really need a sequel although fans have been asking for years. And it’s a bit painful for me to say….but Steins;Gate 0 didn’t truly live up to the name it made for itself. As a true sequel to Steins;Gate, this series is the canonical anime that once again shows us the world of time travel, hypothetical theories, and scientific creativity. It’s essentially a sci-fi adve…
