HTML-код

- Steins;Gate is a story of heartbreak, of sadness and slow creeping madness on Okabe's sanity. Saving Mayuri and Kurisu is one thing, but saving himself is something else altogether.

While Steins;Gate might be about making it to the Steins Gate world line, the truth is that Rintaro Okarin is put through the test of whether or not the past is worth fixing. Do we not learn from our mistakes. Is it turly worth fixing the past just the break the future? Steins;Gate is about the grueling journey Okabe has to go through, nearly completely isolated from his friends, to find out the answer to that question, to fix a worldline only he knows is "wrong". But can a reality be wrong? Or is he the wrongness because he isn't from that world line?

Hi everyone, we finally did it. Cross this one off the list 👍Obviously we have a long way to go still, covering everything we want to and things we come across along the way, but it's always nice to bust out a heavy hitter. I hope you enjoy! Shoutout to RTO for working on this one with us, checkout their channel if you're so inclined!
(woman at the end of the video is my fiancé btw, seems there's been some confusion)

Bro, I'm also from western mass and I'm in the scene. I know for a fact I've met you before and I'm almost positive I know your ex too.
Did youcover in some form shimoneta already? its even fun censoring, an maybe currently relevant for reasons.
Been rewatching this one the last few weeks - midway thru Zero so damn good timing with the video!
This was my first traditional Visual Novel and god damn. After having played many, many more since I can say I pretty much started with the Citizen Kane of VNs - still think about it a decade later.
Thanks for the show!
If you want a really good time travel series, possibly better than steins gate, the 12 monkey series is really good. And season one is relative grounded, but season 2 onward gets really intereting with a time travel war and more comple even and pilosophical, fun, zany, and great characters. And more surprisingly, its tighly written that consistent explains literally everything.
It also goes into what makes time travel complicated and wolnt spoil more, actually tight logical yet zany fun and sad.
I am **TRIGGERED**!!!!!!!
How dare you not cover the microwaved banana enough?!?!?!!?!?
Also, "I am a mad scientist.... Sonofabitch..."
Good job. however,,
Steins Gate Zero is NOT an alternate ending. The events of Zero truly happened after Okabe originally gave up on saving Kurisu in the events of Steins Gate episode 23 (see episode 23.5). He eventually recovered and decided to continue saving the world, and finally after years of work he also came up with the solution to save both mayuri and kurisu, thus the phone call from the future okabe in the last episode of Steins Gate, episode 24!
Cming to terms with it, which h did eventually and find new hope is in line too. He came up with that after the hard work to pull himself together, so he did work throgh it and its part what gets him there. I would argue past okabe by willing to go ther did earn help, from hemself to do the seeming impossible.
To this day I still can't understand how the hell they wrote such a damn good element in an unplanned sequel to a near-perfectly closed timeloop.
The writers truly do deserve props for this raw amount of talent, not to mention they went on to make even more borderline masterpieces like Muramasa and Chaos;Child.
Time travel stories ate always going to be complicated
Writing one that doesn’t fall apart is an achievement
Pulling it off with a PREQUEL?!
Wow
Episode 23b is a different time line that gives spark Steins gate 0. Steins gate episode 23 leads to episode 24 and then the OVA. I haven't watched this anime is years and even I remember that. You needa watch it again my guy
@@kashouttavio3169 who said episode 24 and steins gate zero are in the same timeline?
Okabe and Kurisu still end up together in the steins gate world line, it’s also much more in line with the themes of the show, the show isn’t meant to support fatalism, steins gate 0’s ending loops back to the steins gate world line anyway, it’s about defying your fate even when it feels like it’s impossible, and dealing with personal trauma and the consequences of ones actions
You do know that the OVA isn't canon right? There is no definitive S;GWorldline answer to that question.
@@HirschyKiss robotic notes is and it heavily implies they’re together and we know that the cancelled sequel from last year had them dating as well,
@@perrydunetz882 wait so we're not getting the new game? dang
@@streetgamer3452 we are actually, but it’s not the spin-off novel that was originally planned featuring an older Okabe doing detective work
@@perrydunetz882 huh ok. I wonder what we’ll get instead then
No matter how bad a day is, with a Bonsai Pop video, Any day can get better, Thank You.
Yep
I like the topic but getting over all his jabs at trump like I get you don’t like the guy but after a while you sit there think fucking get over it
Love to you bro
Truth
Unfortunately this guy's awful
Steins;Gate was one of the most important shows to me as I became an adult, became hugely invested in the series and the world and I went through a similar story to you in which the story helped enormously
Thank you for doing the show justice and I'm happy for you to be in a better situation and out of your past torment :)
@Annedolf Frankler your profile picture is Ann Frank Hitler that's a lot worse than a Pokemon image I set over a decade ago
@Annedolf Frankler cool story bro
John titor was an actual forum phenomenon. Steins gate has layers.
As a physicist who worked at CERN for several years I found it so funny seeing CERN portrayed as this evil corporation 😅 Either way a very enjoyable show😊
That’s exactly what organization wants us to think it isn’t
ORGANIZATION AGENT SPOTTED!
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a personal story and making a very touching video.
This was the comment I needed to know I didn't need to watch it. I miss the old videos when it was just analysing the show and not a venting space.
@@dasdan2145 k
The video is very good but here's two corrections: No matter what you do in the Alpha Worldline, SERN and the Committee will always be the rulers of the world. The WWIII you are talking about is in the Beta worldline.
And S;G 0, while considered an alternate ending, it still happened and is the culmination of all past 0kabes that finally did the Operation to reach Steins Gate.
Steins;Gate is an amazing show and the way things are explained makes sense. And the fact that him ultimately saving everyone from WWIII is just a small scale in the whole Science Adventure is just so good.
My head canon is that 0 did happen and the ending of 0 just reverts back to the main series to finish the story.
Basically, 23b happened and 0 ends into original 23, etc
@@Ifrit86 I don't think that's a head canon. It's just canon.
@@patu8010it's been a while since i watched both, but i thought 0 ended in a way where it didn't quite line up?
@@Ifrit86 It's been a while for me too and I might've just taken reddit theories as facts, but that's how I thought it was intended to be.
Alpha - sern dystopia
Beta - WWIII, countries race to build the first time machine
Steins;gate - no time machine is ever built. (And WWIII never happens)
One of the best animes of all time with one of the best stories and soundtracks of all time
This is an excellent review of the central core of the Steins;Gate story. Well done. There's one thing I wanted to ask. You say that the ending of Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 are different. They are but again they are not. SG0's ending enables Steins;Gate's ending for us. The true difference is experienced by the respective Okabes; Steins;Gate Okabe saves Kurisu, whereas Alpha World Okabe has still lost her and knows he will never see her again.
Again, thank you for the excellent video of my favorite anime.
Love the fact people are still talking about this anime over a decade after its release, and without it needing to be hundreds of episodes long. A legendary anime.
Also, you got some details wrong, but the point still gets across, so it's ok.
Daddy Pop makes us wait 3 years.
Worth it.👌
One of my fav anime’s (I only think I hold FMAB higher in my eyes) & a great breakdown of the core themes of the show. Loved the vid and hope you do more ‘popular’ shows! Also appreciate you sharing some personal stuff to better reiterate your points later in the vid, it deffo hit home and i’m glad your in a much better place now:)
Funny. I'm half Asian and half black my mother came to the US as a refugees during the Vietnam War and eventually meet my dad here the US. So I always think back how if the Vietnam War never happened I wouldn't even exist.
Stein’s gate is one of my favorites shows I ever watched so thanks for making this video bonsai pop
Having been gaslit into bordering on insane by a horrific sociopath - but having gotten out of my abusive relationship before it could get quite as bad as what you experienced - I feel for you, man.
If you want to watch an extremely fasinating anime, watch: Karas
It's a 6 part anime that was really short. The opening chase sequence is something I've never seen done in another anime.
The plot is the main thing that sets it apart. It deals with a protector of a city that lives in another dimension, while fighting to protect a certain city. The characters are really cool, too. It's one of my favorite animes of all time.
I never heard of karas and went to check out the intro and mannn that shit was awesome, no talking no explanation just transformers throwing down😂
many thanks for the sauce
I think my favorite thing about this channel is how, regardless of what you’re talking about, you always bring a unique discussion topic to the table. Anytime I put on a Bonsai Pop video, I know I’m going to get a fresh viewpoint.
Steins;Gate is my favorite anime, but I haven’t ever seen discussion about consequences as one of its themes. I guess it is a little understated compared with some of its other themes, but that’s exactly why I think focusing on something new is great. Thanks for the video.
Steins;Gate is the most bingable anime besides Baccano, which is impressive on Steins;Gate's part because not only is it double in length, but it doesn't split constantly between character perspectives which was the main reason for Baccano's bingability. In what feels like three hours you've already watched 18 episodes. Usually this kind of pacing is not the selling point of a show for me, but I think it really benefits Steins;Gate as a beginner-friendly anime that has a lot more under its surface than others.
Baccano has so many well written characters. They are all hard to forget.
Steins Gate is not beginner-friendly; it's a seinen anime. Young people don't understand things like the Dunning Kruger effect until they experience it for themselves. They will easily get bored. Shounen animes are beginner-friendly; shows like MHA and attack on titan.
@@FS-me8mj its my first anime. its beginner friendly
as usual you nailed what makes this show great, it isn't really how it deals with time travel but how it uses it to reveal the human condition and how flawed we are to the point where even when we try to do good we still mess up cause we can't see far enough ahead or how our mistakes that we can't fix are truly what makes us better this is what makes the show ultimately timeless and a great watch for anyone who likes to think on things like this props to you guys for an awesome video and I can't wait for the regular stream of content from you guys it is going to be great
"Don't live in the past."
That's true beyond whatever memes is goin' on. It's a very slow poison.
Fully agree
@@Ramsey276one glad you agree but real talk.
It’s incredibly difficult not to live in the past especially when it was so much better.
@@StyleshStorm Remembering is good, but you have to stay in the present and KEEP MOVING FORWARD
Damn, that was some heavy stuff man, but you made a beautiful point about our existence, regrets and our effort to try to live the best lives we can. Great video, the effort and passion you put into this is clear.
This was the anime that took it to another level for so many people. Brought it out of being something that you just watched weekly to something that blew your mind weekly. I've watched SG and SG0 through I think 4 times because over the years I'll forget some details and it'll surprise me all over again. I also super highly recommend playing that games! That opens up an entire can of worms all over again and I often forget if it was the game or the show where something happened. Yeah one of my all time favorites for sure.
Yeah that's how I felt about Eva when it first aired in my country. For the truly great and unique shows having to wait a week between episodes makes the experience so much more impactful. Instead of bingeing it in a day or two allowing the story to slowly unravel over 3-6 months, and spending those weekly interims thinking and theorising makes a world of difference.
Thank you for covering my favorite anime, and articulating why it's so damned good.
Just getting my day started and you guys drop a Steins;Gate video??? DAY. MADE. THANK YOU!
Reject modernity, return to tradition
That too is a lie.
The most amazing Steins;Gate analysis I've seen so far! Thank you for this amazing video
I love Steins;Gate probably my favorite anime of all time. I also love the background music coming from Final Fantasy X and X2. Such a great choice.
Scenario A is only allowed because of scenario B, the sad part about Steins Gate is cause one Okabe had to lose his love and live in a 3ww place to give the Okabe from Steins Gate original a Steins Gate line, if Steins Gate 0 Okabe hadn't fail first, Okabe from Steins Gate would not achieve Steins Gate universe
Wish I could afford to give more to your Patreon. You guys deserve it. Best video essayists on RUclips in my opinion.
You should watch Aleczandxr
Your speech in the end really hit me, thanks for video
This was supposed to be an analysis video but damn when you talked about your relationship it hit hard much love to you man
This is one anime that broke me but at the same time, it entertained me a lot. It is unlike any other anime made in the period where it was released and even in general. It is a timeless classic that I believe people should watch, even in current year. The fact that I still remember why I loved this anime speaks volumes on how memorable this series is. Hell, look at my profile picture, that is how much I still love it nowadays.
This anime is, for a lack of a better word, the embodiment of catharsis for me. Love it to bits.
Bro this hit home. I went through a shockingly similar situation with my old partner. Its hard to explain, but I think this video helped me with something, like I'm not alone in that experience anymore I guess. Either way thank you!
8:11 loved when you showed the first episode of disastrous life of Saiki K cause that show is my favorite too
This is probably one of my favorite shows despite it's flaws. This show really shows the consequences of messing with the world and reality.
Jesus this video was so damn good. Thanks homie.
This video was great, now I know I'm in the right world line
22:56 HITS DIFFERENT
This hit me like an incredibly relevant sack of bricks. Thank you guys for giving me a realization.
Sometimes the universe speaks to you through anime reviews and that's kinda cool.
I love this series, but I have to agree -- it's very scary to cover popular stuff!
Thanks for the vid
#proudpatreon a new Bonsai vid. Time to put my science armor (lab coat.)
So I don't wanna be "that guy"...but the steins;gate anime is great, but the visual novel is a masterpiece. The science adventure series as a whole is my favorite media. Love the channel 😍
i love the alternate endings in the VN, the suzuha ending was my personal fav cause it showed a side of okabe which could never be explored in the anime
Agreed. The VN has been my favorite story for the past 7 years and I've yet to have something that got to the same point.
Really random comment, but, I hope to see you cover Megalobox one day, I feel like with as high quality as your videos are, it'd be amazing to watch. Keep up the fine ass work🙏
Steins;Gate is my favorite Anime of all time. I'm a huge fan of alternate time-lines stories and this is a great example of it. It did a great job of making you care for the characters in the first half before hitting you in the face with the tragedy of the second half. It has one of the better portrayals of the transgender struggle of the last decade. It's also the only Anime where I literally cheered when the main couple got together.
I think you guys did a great job with the video and explaining both the appeal and impact of the story. Thank you for reminding me why I love this Anime.
I'm glad you're with us today man. To a better today.
I'm convinced, gotta find somewhere to stream it
18:00
You missed a really easy "SNAP BACK TO REALITY"
Steins;Gate is the best series i’ve ever watched, it made me cried my heart out from both sadness and happiness 😭😭
This has been on my list for a long while … now it’s been given the BPOP business it’ll climb higher up that list. Another great effort my dudes.
Thanks for this video and for sharing. I saw this anime at a pretty formative part of my life, and seeing this video reminded me of just how much I think it influenced the way I think. Great anime!
Its amazing that even know Steins:gate is still being talked about
I always appreciate your insight and brutal honesty that you bring to these videos. Keep up the great work
Bonsaipop killing it once again!! Steins gate is such a good anime and you guys absolutely did it justice. This video is making me want to do a rewatch
22:00 that’s what gave this question:
Is there a bloodline of good people? Or a bloodline of bad people?
How many life-saving heroes are descendants of murderers or rapists?
Is there an unsung hero wondering why did their child become a True Crime monster? “What did I do wrong? COULD I HAVE PREVENTED THIS?”
Hououin is not Okabe. He isn’t arrogant, he just puts on an arrogant persona to make Mayuri happy.
I’m on another Bonsai Pop binge today, keep up the good work guys ! ☀️
I enjoyed this anime a lot, but never loved it as much as my friends. but your comments about the horrible things in your life that shaped you into the person you are now, giving you the people in your life now. gave me new perspective about the anime. I have my own awful manipulative ex just like you said many do, but with the people in my life now I wouldn't change it. the idea was already a thought I felt outside of the anime but connecting it... great shit. I hope I can help support yall in the future. been watching for years. o7
Great video, Great Editing as well. More Steins;gate content is always great to watch.
16:15 Explanation:
. C.E.R.N. (the real life one) was fundamental in the creation of the Internet (the famous HTML & TCP/IP Protocols). It also researched (R.) the theoretical basis for the cellphone comunication system.
. S.E.R.N. (the one from Steins Gate) did the same, but also put a "backdoor" that was eventually used in every [national, public, regulated] system of comunications using S.M.S. or anything similar. This creates a secret "shadow copy" of ALL messages ever sent.
. There is a "New World Order Conspiracy" ( The Comitee of the 300 ) that tries to _dominate the world_ ( "The Organization" of Okabe´s "delirum" ); they are regulary checking for any "mismatch" DATA or anomalies [including the metadata trace an SMS sent "backwards" in time would leave in their antennas/subsystems], because they EXPECTED to "hear themselves" sending some data from the future.
-> This is a very slow automated system (rarely being supervised by actual humans).
The time that has to pass from the moment a "Delorean-Mail" arrived at the past ( & when someone working on this "secret SMS spying" noticed a mismatch) changes depending how many other DMails have being sent [then "goons" are to be sent to retrieve the objects at the lab and capture/kill the people in it].
-> Even just the original "Makise Kurisu is dead" half_broken DMail is enough to cause the death of Mayuri [but ONLY if it is eventually DETECTED by REAL PEOPLE].
Instead of preventing the creation/arrival of the DMail, Daru found a way to "edit" the secret database (before it is seen by a human), so the contents & metadata of the "anomalous" SMS are masked/deleted.
Thank you for your great work - Tylor and Mike - for your personal feelings and experience you share. I feel with you and I understand (same but different), that's why this channel is so precious. Greetings from Germany, I love to share your deep thoughts and Anime analysis each time. Keep going, for a better world :3
22:56 That's a violation! LMAO 😭🤣😅
Okabe is relatable to any of us who've fallen victim to the Dunning-Kreuger effect and I hate to tell ya, that's all of us.
Uhh..... he's delusional as a joke how is that the Dunning-Kruger effect?
@@rllmgr6117 acts delusional not actually delusional
okabe isn't sincerely delusional though, his chuunibyou isn't a part of his character, it's a facade to shelter mayuri
17:10 somehow I saw that coming
XD
6:49 watching this sequence of events while watching the video actually gave me chills
My two sides… the public and private may as well be completely different people. I’m not sure which one is really me…
Am I the mask others bring out of me or am I the untested metal I am at home?
Fantastic video and perspective as always! Thanks Bonsai Pop.
5:01 holy shit someone referenced D I D correctly.
Was wanting on this one. Can't wait to sit back, relax, and enjoy the vid.
I actually liked your “Weathering With You” analysis its what made me subscribe btw…. Don’t listen to everyone, just to make clear you don’t, but don’t bother listening to everyone.
I've tried and failed two or three times to watch this show, and you still make me want to try again now.
Great video man
Steins gate to me is masterpiece
Rewatching it i always notice Something new.
Keep up the good work!!
22:00 great man. the most courageous kind of greatest taste
I just finished this anime yesterday, I know I'm super late but this show was amazing and even expanded my horizons on what kind if anime I'll watch, my favorites have always been dark fantasy and violent battle Shonen but now I'm trying to find more mystery mind benders like this one, this shit hit different
Insightful as always dude. Thanks for this, I needed this one I think
Brilliant :D
loved your commentary, I wanted to comment I love the OP "Hacking to the Gate" also and I know that isn't a discussion here but , the actual English translation the OP is so well written , the is one part that says right before it goes into the chorus, "While the two hands point out what is 'finate', all of which leads to a cruel contract and choice to make." That line always summed up a lot of things to me.
6:57 HOLY FUCK I NEVER REALISED, I WATCH STEINS GATE YEARS AGO, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
This one had me crying like a bitch..
Amazing video. Great perspective on the faults of changing the past.
I dealt with my fair share of "what ifs" like if I didn't get scammed out of a huge sum of cash from someone on a third rate dating app, I would never owe in back rent and still be working at the local Marriott hotel (got fired from there in 2017 and spent nearly a year out of work but I'm at peace with my current employer), never dabbled in dating female inmates, owed in back rent and the debt grew because every payment I sent to property management went to paying the back rent and if I never have an ex break up with me in 2013, I wouldn't be in a loving relationship now.
15:04 when you start a gungeon run.
I noticed Glass Fleet was part of the clips near the beginning. Are you going to cover that? Please say yes! It’s very close to my heart!
19:50 “…To having a robot from the future come and play incel at the mall” this fkn sent me.
Gotta love FFVII music just fits so well when talking about serious concepts/problems.
Man, this channel has only gotten better since it started.
I came here just for entertainment, I left with al sorts of life lessons and a new outlook on life😭
The second half really felt like one of those inspiring monologues at the end of movies, keep it up man!
Another hit out of the park. Touching message and a great reminder of this classic
Lol I am actually rewatching this show now I’m on the second season
This anime was so good. I need to watch them again.
i think lots of people try but are struggling with continuing to try. i didn't know this but apparently lots of people who are depressed or are being brought down by past actions, and becoming depressed end up apathetic towards themselves and strangely they wont feel the same for others, they can continue to believe in others despite themselves becoming severely and chronically depressed. its a serious affliction, and somehow there is a calibre of person able to be selfless while they slowly succumb to their affliction. natures a bitch.
Anyone else notice the Wild Arms music at around 11:00? I noticed. 🖤
Steins Gate and steins gate zero was really fucking good.
Also should add the romance subplot was really fucking great too. The whole show struck cords with me.
I remember that I first watched Steins gate a year ago and cried during the ending
I cannot tell you how closely I relate to your past trauma ex. My ex overdosed about a year ago and there are so many things that I wish I had done differently or even if I could go back in time with the knowledge that I have now. But you're right that experience gave me growth. Thank you for being genuine and real with us, cuz sometimes it strikes a cord in someone.
I really like this channel, it's funny and reviews something from every episode
Love your vids. Thoughtful wuth a dash of comedy
"You are always the butterfly"... see, this is why I always watch your stuff!!
