Unpopular opinion but I don't find the initial eps of Steins gate to be boring, and after finishing the anime they are even more interesting
strong agree, it’s a writing masterclass
same never bothered me at all actually enjoyed it a lot. If those episodes weren't there the rest of the series wouldn't hit nearly as hard.
Fellow VN gigachads, how do you fare?
Kurisu's lecture is still one of my favorite moments from the original. A shame its practically skipped in the anime.
there's a period between the first eps and ep like 9 ? where nothing happens for half an hour or 2 eps but thats it
yea I wasn’t bored too
Never understood why people find the first half boring, especially if they claim to love character driven narratives instead of "stuff happening" I had a 5 page essay written out but the comments also brought this up but I'm glad you didn't feel like it was a waste of time though I heavily judge those who drop the show because of the first half, if you see the whole thing and say oh that actually mattered and was vital, that means the show was always good and you were the one that almost gave up on a gem
Bruh that's not how stuff works. Everything needs a HOOK. But this show just relied on the shock factor. Story driven writing means MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE REGARDING THE STORY, not Nonsensical bs. Plus tell me this, someone who got annoyed from nothing happening in the first half, will he be able to fully enjoy the show? The first half is bad because it's too long with no hook. If they shorten it and added sprinkles of the actual story, NOBODY WOULD COMPLAIN
@@gurnoorsekhon6402 Isn't him sending an email then everyone around him disappears suddenly except for Mayuri a good hook? Because that's what got me hooked immediately. What about Makise who was murdered but then ended up being alive? Plus the some sprinkles of the story are the characters figuring out the d-mail and some sprinkles are some of the characters themselves.
@@shadow_master7303 bruh that's like if in death note, light used the death note once in ep1, then spent 11 episodes attending school while once in a while reading a rule from the book and then his encounter with L and ryuk come although in episode 12. Or if after episode 1 of AOT we just saw Eren trying to get bread with the one page information every episode. The "Hook" doesn't need to be your main plot but it does need to be something that engages the audience.
My story with SG was very similar - watched first 5 episodes, dropped it, the picked it up again and binge watched EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER COME OUT in a few days.
Steins gate is forever one of the best science fiction shows in history. Best sci fi anime no debate (especially if you thought of dr stone).
Dr stone cannot be compared to a masterpiece like steins;gate😭
The IBN 5100 is what got CERN onto their trail, the computer wasnt masking their trail. CERN had an encryption on their time travel files, and they needed the IBN to hack into CERN because the encryption used was special to the IBN 5100. Okabe hadto go back in time to stop themselves from hacking into CERN in order to save Mayuri.
Very unpopular opinion: I never found the initai 10 episodes to be boring at all. I think people went into the anime with so much expectency like : "oh this anime is so popular, it must have the best opening sequence" Literally my favorite anime!
Agreed. I loved the light banter and witty quips between the characters. All of them have interesting personalities but it also reinforces the feeling that these young, smart kids are toying with something far over their heads.
'Human is dead. Mismatch'
Steins Gate zero makes a man putting on a lab coat on of the hypes things you have ever seen
I remember it being real boring and I was thinking of dropping it... And then episode 12 happened. I binged that stuff in a day and rewatched it in full the next day. Ep 12 of SG is second only to episode 10 of Violet Evergarden imo.
Best anime ever
It’s a shame most people don’t like the slice of life start, I honestly thought it made them all one of the most endearing cast of friends I’ve seen In a while. Also nice that they all weren’t highschoolers but college students and a childhood friend, still in highschool.
It’s because without doing research of Steins Gate plot it does seem like it’s a basic slice of life anime from the first three episodes, which isn’t a problem as SOL animes have fans but a lot of people are used to the very quick and draws your attention first episode action animes, Steins Gate isn’t that, it may have 24 episodes each show but the story itself is lengthy with a complex situation, it actually takes watching the entire shows to understand the full story and feel for it, after watching 0 the good ending hit so much harder when you learn all the shit Okabe had to do just to get that possibility of an outcome and that the bad ending had already happened
Yeah a lot of people call Steins;Gate mid, because the start is “slow” or “boring”.
Pretty weak argument since the Slice of Life stuff features two functions: establishing a sense of normality within the original timeline, and establish a group of enjoyable characters that have problems that serve the plot. It's slow, granted, but it makes the payoff infinitely more juicy and rewarding.
Riight?? I just don't see why they say is boring or veery slow. SG got me from the beginning.
It's the calm before the storm.
“I thought Steins Gate would’ve been a massive waste of my time” about an ironic a statement you could possibly write. GOATed anime. El psy congroo
Suuupaaah Hackaaaah
El Psy Congroo
@@jee098Congaree!
tuturuuu
It's Kongroo! KONGROO!!
A truly beautiful series. I don't think I've felt so close to any characters in any other anime. Plus the soundtrack never fails me to bring me to tears.
Agreed! I first watched this over 10 years ago and its still my #1
Gate of Steiner, man. That song alone does wonders for some already emotionally powerful scenes and elevates them to extreme heights
Steins gate is peak
Steins gate is not your generic high staked time travel show where you see whole revolution going on
Its more humanly
Time travel is just a plot device to make a plot good its not the main thing which makes a show memorable
The memorable parts are the humanly parts of things
And thats what steins gate knows
It is unique as it has a mix of human emotions slice of life and time travel
It shows how each character which is a misfit in the anime have desires and things they want to achieve but they want a short cut for it which is for them time travel
Steins gate shows such characters mistakes desires achievements and sacrifice in a time travel plot
Thats what makes steins gate so high rated
If someone doesnt understand steins gate or hates it its their opinion and not their thing
Its simple as that
Biggest example we can take is of Berserk
In berserk the main thing which makes it memorable is not its worldbuilding fights
But GUTS and all the human emotions themes
When people ask me what my favorite anime is I usually say Steins Gate (or Vinland Saga nowadays). SG changed the way I viewed anime forever and showed me how powerful and effective anime can be from a story telling perspective.
Steins Gate is one of the best anime I've ever watched. Easily in my top 3.
@@PengwinTamerwhat’s your top 3?
Brother I Respect your opinion but why in the world is Vinland Saga this hyped? I watched it but it was nothing special to me and actually was pretty underwhelming for what I've heard from it. You should watch code Geass, for me the only anime on a scale with Steins Gate and Naruto 😊
@@beecay083Vinland saga’s got a lot going for it like the action, setting, plot, but I think people really like it for the characters. Thorfinn’s growth is some of the best character development in anime as well as Canute’s growth and the character dynamics are all top tier as well. (I do like Code Geass better tho).
@@beecay083king canute and thorfinn easily in my top 10 fav character
Stein’s Gate been my top 1 anime ever since I watched it way back in 2012. Been scared to rewatch it thinking it might not hold up but think I just might have to
What if I told you that Steins;Gate was just part 2 of a longer story (similar to something like Jojo's)?
One of the only anime I’ve watched twice on my own time and enjoyed it even more the second time. I can say very confidently that this is my favorite anime because of this.
@@rinascimento5216what do you mean?
@@refayatul its part of the Science Adventure Series (sometimes shortened to SciADV)
@@rinascimento5216 this is the first time i learned about this for a long time, now i have another anime on my watchlist
steins;gate : mad scientist
steins;gate 0 : sad scientist
And they’re laughing, my boy just witnessed everyone he loved get tortured and killed over a hundred times and they are laughing
Steins;gate “new entry” 2024: …
Fun fact:the writer actually dedicated a huge amount of time researching about time travel. Many things about this anime also happened irl too.
actually interesting
yep to add to the original comment
sern in the anime is based of a real european nuclear research centre called CERN , they made large hadron collider which in many theories can generate very minute black holes ( forgive me if im wrong , im just jotting down from what ive read ) , i expect most of you to be already familiar with john titor , if not a quick google search can pull you into the rabbithole , IBM5100 is also a reference to john titor
so yeah this was pretty much what i remember , i may have forgot a thing or two so if you remember just add that into the thread
Visual novel 😧
"Irl"
Researching about a topic is what good writers do though 😅😅😅 why make it sound extraordinary? 😅😅😅
I just wanna say when Okabe got that message that he knows too much and started running back to the lab to check if Mayuri and Kurisu are alright there was a scene of him running and it was probably the most intense moment in the anime.
That scared the absolute fuck out of me too
@@TheBBCSlurpee bro i watched that scene at night at like 2am with my lights off it was nightmare fuel.
I absolutely agree with you, I was rewatching it a week ago and I was thinking the same. He never cares about his life more than others, even we don't hear something like what if I die and can't change the future.
@@tolgakaptan that scene was terrifying.
I kinda feel with how dark it gets the contrast between the latter half of steins gate and the story of steins gate 0 make you just want to value those happy early peaceful “slow” times. Hououin Kyouma and his lab members(Okabe and his buddies), Kurisu’s closet nerdiness and banter with Okabe, Ruka getting dragged out of his shell around okabe, Daru just being a menace, Farsi’ constant positivity, Suzuha’s childish curiosity and wonder, getting to know these characters so well it just hurts to see things fall apart. I genuinely love this series. Rewatching the early parts gives a whole new level of appreciation with what’s coming and the inevitability of the later episodes just kinda meshes well with the theme of the inevitability of fate
I loved this series. Years past and it’s still one of the best sci-fi story I watched. Yeah the first half is slow but that’s why the stuff later on hits so hard. Btw you should check out Stein’s Gate 0. Not as great as the original but it dives deeper into Okabe’s character.
Steins Gate 0 is the other half of the story, the original is the good ending after the bad ending already ensued from 0, and after you watch that it all comes full circle
In terms of anime, I much prefer Steins;Gate 0 to Steins;Gate. Even if the original anime is significantly better-directed, S;G 0's anime feels so much more rewarding to get through. Steins;Gate's anime is a conventional adaptation. It's just a worse version of the VN, making various terrible changes to the story. It completely destroys Braun's character, cuts the story's connections to the other SciADV entries, deletes an entire character out the story, and even changes 1 set of mechanics in a way that contradicts the VN (leading to a plot hole in S;G 0). The worst part is that the anime changes the entire antagonist from the Committee of 300 to SERN (who are beneath the Committee in the VN). Steins;Gate's anime is singlehandedly the reason why most people don't even know it's just the second part of a longer story.
But Steins;Gate 0's anime is a sequel to the Steins;Gate 0 VN. It's such a creative way to approach a story that would have otherwise been extremely difficult to adapt. And it fits so perfectly with S;G 0's central theme of the "messenger". It's all in all a massive love letter to any long-time fan of the series, answering so many questions fans had dating all the way back to the release of Arc-Light in 2010. I love how they also approached it in a way that even despite all that, it could still be watched by Steins;Gate anime onlies. You kinda miss the whole point of S;G 0 that way though.
@@rinascimento5216yesss 100 percent fact. Steins gate 0 has a higher peak aswell as better ending than original one thats why i put it above
An absolute masterpiece. I re-watch this series every so often but not to often, so I don't ruin what this series brings to the table and the feelings this series evokes in me.
Well , Stein gates is one of best time traveling anime ever made , mostly its like spider web or a puzzle which has connections to every episodes and you really need patience to watch every episodes, i'm happy you have a great video on stein's gates
It’s one of the best time travel thing period. Although I haven’t read any time travel novels.
@@thomasffrench3639try , in the search of lost future, remake our life
This is just one of my favorite anime. I love how they take their time to set up all of the characters, then the second half can just be plot. It actually feels like I’m watching an animated show instead of comics being split into an anime. One of the best series of all time.
I really love Steins;Gate 0 too. It expands on every single character, and really completes the arcs of Daru, Mayurii and and Luka. The ending is one of the best anime endings I have ever seen in my life
who the hell is luka
@@MateoTlm the "trap" shrine maiden character. Sometimes the name is either Luka or Ruka depending on what medium you're viewing.(Ruka is technically the correct one since Japanese can't pronounce L sounds and it sounds like R when they try to.)
i ended up playing the visual novel for 0 and did not regret it at all. truly cemented okabe as one of my favorite fictional characters of all time
@@MateoTlmplayer on the mavs + devin booker father
@@anthonychessar7179 The official romanization is Luka according to the source material
Steins;Gate and the larger VN series it's a part of called SciADV (Chaos;Head, Robotics;Notes, and Chaos;Child) really made me appreciate the power of slow burn starts. Establishing the flawed protagonists through how they interact with the world through slice of life before tearing them down when all the set up plot points start going into full effect.
wow, its the first time i've known this. but i watched robotics notes and i didn't even realize they were a series
currently reading robotic;notes after Chaos;head noah and Steins; Gate Elite (only watched the anime of SG0 so far) and god do I love just how dorky and weird those flawed characters are (though Taku was a bit much the first two times around).
Don't forget about Occultic;Nine and Anonymous;Code
Steins;Gate, much like Cowboy Bebop, is one of the few Anime that has a dub actually worth watching. Even if you've already watched the show in sub.
Steins;Gate changed my life. The immersion from the art and vibes makes watching it again feel like a past life. Seeing a man who seems to have an invincible personality continually get beaten down until he gives up makes the character who saves him 1000x more likable. The characters, art, music, and dialogue are perfect. Steins gate 0, while it does digress a bit, was a tasteful continuation to a masterpiece of an anime.
life changing.
the internet seems really 50/50 on steins;gate 0. i'm unsure whether to watch it. the order in which i have to watch it seems weird, i thought i could just watch all of steins gate and watch all of 0 and be fine but people are saying i have to watch it in the middle of ep 23 of the first series. i find that really bizarre
@@dxmyr thats because Steins Gate 0 starts from the prologue ep 23B (The same episode as 23 but okabe failed to save kurisu and broken) and the okabe at the end of Steins Gate 0 sends a message to past self to try to save kurisu again so that they can go to steins gate world line. It's a must watch but you need to read visual novel as well (there are some vn playthroughs on youtube)
Steins;Gate is one of the few shows that truly transcend Anime itself.
True
Honestly after 0 you appreciate the first 5 episodes because before 0 he was Hyojin Kyoma, the absolute best of himself and they all loved him for it, 0 is after he watches all of them die countless times and then gives up trying to reach Steins Gate, he no longer went by Hyojin Kyoma and started being the depressed and hurt Okabe he is without the persona, and 0 shows that it doesn’t get back to that kind of slice of life until he copes by talking to the Christina AI Chat bot
The entire time I wanted Okabe to win he deserved to be with Christina and Mayuri happily
Having recently rewatched this masterpiece I can safely say that it's my favorite anime by far. The care given to these characters, Okabe the most, in both writing an animation just makes them so likable and human. There are several parts where Okabe's feelings and insecurities are seen but not said, on his facem in his pauses. Anime often tells us characters thoughts outright but SG takes its time to tell us visually as well. I can see why some people find the first few episodes slow and hard to get into but I love them as much as I love the rest of it. Having also played the VN I think the anime is a great adaption and probably my prefered way of enjoying this story.
It gets even deeper when you decide to read the manga _"Braunian, the motion of love and hate"_
It's the story about the landlord and how he became FB, and the circumstances that led to him being a single father to Nae, it's arguably one of the saddest spinoff stories I've ever read.
Specially when you understand what happened to suzuha in the alpha worldline, must be a painful way to die
@Raymuk If ya think about it, Suzuha had a bunch of bad fates in a ton of world lines, but that one is horrid. She turned into mush slowly, inside-out. But hey, it was a bittersweet end, she was considerably happy when she died, unlike the one where she went nuts and killed herself.
Duck
I'm incredibly interested but I don't think I want to read it. Damnit
@@Lynn.-_-. it's worth the read
Iam not sure if you said you saw Steins gate 0 too, but Steins gate is incomplete without 0 in my opinion. The correct way to see it imo is steins gate till episode 22. Then you watch 23 b ,then 0, then go back to the original. Masterpiece at its finest. One of the most emotional shows with one of the greatest character casts ever. 10/10
idk, i don't really agree with that
steins gate 0 only got good by the last 5 episodes, the season is dull and all the build that had in steins gate is erased, almost nothing important happens and Kagari plot was a complete waste of time
in my opinion ofcourselmfao
I mean I watched both and I was satisfied with sg but s0 did make the sg ending better.
sg0 is boring as hell in the first 20 episodes, only good thing is the amadeus program, everything else kinda mid, first time i watched was finish sg, then sg0 and it was great, and made it more of a "oooh, that's how it happened"
watching on "chronological" order makes the final 2 sg episodes better but you literally suffer through sg0, not recommended at all on first watch, maybe second watch
Yeah it was pretty good but i think the 1st season is still pretty enjoyable without watching 0
Bro whatever you say, Steins;Gate is still the best anime in 2023 and no one can reject it. If you're gonna say "best anime is one piece or naruto etc. you're fckn' weird bro."
8:00 get demonetized bro💀💀
One of the best time travel travel stories made! Really love Okabe & his whole thing with speaking english & the sol parts.
You definitely should also watch Steinsgate 0. Ik people say it’s boring but It resolves a bunch of stuff and I found it just as captivating. The whole franchise is just brilliant
i agree , steins gate was 9 but watching 0 made it a 10, and the ending was mwah 🤌
The amount of times I’ve heard about *time* in this video is a lot…
Absolute masterpiece. Definitely can be a slow starter for some because of the hype going into the series. The end of episode 9 still gives me goosebumps and it only gets crazier.
Steins gate is my favourite anime, manga, novel, anything. Now i dont think its the best tho i do think its up there its still my favourite
Finally someone talking about this masterpiece of sci-fi Anime and storytelling in general ! The first anime i ever watched and still my number 1
I didn’t care for the first half of S;G on my first watch either, but now those episodes are precious to me.
Okabe Rintarou is truly an amazing MC, The visual novel for Steins gate and steins gate 0 definitely builds on okabe's character alot more, and altough i want to say i recommend it to you, i really cant. Cause the pacing is even slower than the anime. I think it took me like 30 minutes to read through the first 2 minutes of the anime
Yeah… Being the massive fan I am of the anime, I bought the VN because I missed the show and wanted more. That was not a good decision.
@@Watermelon_Man I personally think the visual novel is better, but I can understand
i alwaays had interest in time travel stories and Stein;s Gate is the best story ever made. Yeah, for others the first episodes are boring maybe because you aren't into scientific nerdy terminologies. It is great. At the time Stein;s Gate was released, John Titor was a real thing. Like a viral person being hated and bashed but they used him as a reference to the story and it turned out to be great.
i had to put steins gate number 1 above jojo. it was hard but i loved the anime
I don’t know, I really enjoyed the stuff at the beginning, it really made me invested in the characters, and made the later stuff hit even harder. I hate how shallow people are nowadays and how proud they seem to be of it. Like it’s a good thing your brain has rotted to the point of having the attention span of a goldfish.
Exactly. Ion even kno y so many ppl hating on the early eps they was chill asf
Steins;Gate is my favourite piece of fiction ever. I am watching it for the 3rd time, it is just so good, Steins;Gate is it self an emotion for me. It has the best romance i have ever seen, and it is not even a romance anime.
Ever read the visual novels? If not, consider looking into the Science Adventure Series if you want to have a new perspective on the story. I assure you it'll elevate it even further as your favorite fiction, or perhaps you'll find something else in the series you'll like more?
steins;gate 0 is soooooooo good - it really made me love the whole universe so much more. same goes for the movie.
One of The cool think about suzuha character is that "John titor" was a real person that in the early 2000 claims to be from the future. And this is connected to the fact that, the way they use time travel in the series is based on real theory and, potentially, is a way that we can use to time travel perhaps in the future. I suggest you to read the Novel of Steins gate 0, or read the manga and watch the anime, because, to me, they adapt bad the two main Route.
I love Steins;Gate. It's probably the only anime I have actually watched more than twice, and quite often I'll take a week off work with grand ideas of how I will spend my time, and end up binge watching by about Tuesday. It is slow to begin with, the brightness of the city scenes just make it feel like a stupidly too hot to do anything, lazy summer, and so the pacing fits well with it imho. I love it. But here's the kicker, I cannot stand the original Japanese voice acting. Sorry but it's so shouty and squeaky and just weird. The English voice actors though are superb and I fell in love with Mayuri as the "little sister" because she was so sweet. I loved their interactions in those first few episodes, even though not much made sense, and I think that was because I was listening to the English version. Three anime I think work better with the English VA's are this, Black Lagoon (sorry but Revy swearing needs to be in English) and Black Butler... but Sebastian is voice by the same actor who voices Okabe so that's why. I like his voice, ok?
alright fine. ill rewatch steins gate again
One of my favorite anime’s. Watch the sub only- the voice acting is amazing. The dub doesn’t do Justice
"Ah. Peace. Finally."
"Bro wake tf up its ww3 on our rooftop"
"Tf?"
"To me Steins;gate goes from something that took 4 months to watch to something I binged in a day"
That's the Steins;gate experience for you xD

so stop tryna make irrelevant comments☠️
Me givin a like just cuz of s;g in the title, hearing "s;g is a massive waste of my time" well fuck
I read the visual novel several years after watching both S;G and S;G 0. The pacing for the exposition and the detail in the VN are better appreciated, especially for the sci-fi theory behind it all. There are also some routes that weren't adapted into the anime so anime-watchers can enjoy some new material if they read it after.
If you finished this and are open to more, I'd recommend follow up with Steins;Gate 0 while it's still fresh in your memory.
While I'm guessing the majority prefer the original, I think 0 has a lot of emotional aspects that at times can outshine the original, especially with the themes of depression, and coping with loss.
S;G 0, the visual novel, was great. I really liked it due to its themes.
KURISUTIIIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
an amzaing series i hope aynomous code gets an anime
the anime was enjoyable but to me personally the "cherry on top" came in Season 2 or as it is knows Steins;Gate:0
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
.
.

Im talking about the revelation that the whole "chunibiyo" persona of Okabe is actually his knowledge from the future and that completed the circle of the Alpha and Beta timelines
4 years later and still my #1 anime!
Steins gate the goat
Every time i try to watch this show I get stuck on the first or 2nd episode yeah the beginning is really slow , im leaving this here so whenever I watch it I can give my final thoughts
Greatest anime ever created
Steins Gate has been my favorite anime for the bigger part of 5 years after I first watched it, and episode 22 one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever because it was the only one that has made me feel every emotion humanly possible in just the short span of 20-ish minutes and not a single other one could reproduce that feeling. On top of that, the show literally gave every single character their sweet time to shine, despite not having to, considering it's a time travel story where only 1 character remembers all the timelines.
Here's a hot take: The first half of the show is just as good as the second, and it HAS to be slow paced to work. Plus, there's so much stuff going on already that every time I hear someone say "it's boring" or "nothing's happening" i just lose more and more faith in humanity; AND it's already so much fun with the banter between the characters. Without it, the second half wouldn't even hit half as hard as it does now, people just don't appreciate good buildup anymore, I suppose...
It got dethroned from its place at the top earlier this year after I already had given up on finding anything that could possibly do it by the "Aria" series, because after all this time I have finally found an episode that managed to recreate the feeling I had with SG's episode 22, and not only one but the entire final stretch of Aria the Origination from episode 9 onwards was like this.
Having said that, what are the 2 other VNs on the screen with SG at 0:58?
Aria the Origination was quite the ride
middle VN is AITSF, phenomenal game btw
idk about the left one tho
@@bruh_man254 I found out through another comment it is "Va-11 Hall-A" which is ironically enough the VN that probably has the highest priority for me to be the one I'll start next if I do decide to do another visual novel (aside from World End Economica)
My favorite anime of all time.
Recently went to Japan and caught the train to Akihabera and wandered about the area. It was a little creepy as I had never been there or seen photo's, yet I knew my way around somewhat from having watched Steins Gate. I went into the Radio Kaikan building where they sell Steins Gate models on the 3rd floor. A fun experience.
If I ever get dementia I gotta rewatch this.
Okabe is a Protagonist that really impacted me hes so different than other MC'S probably my favorite character in all of Anime
As an actual physicist, it kinda makes me laugh seeing the comments section. There is no "real theory" or "correct" time travel simply because it doesn't exist yet. There is only "most popular" or "Most likely" or "most cohesive" as what would make the most sense based on philosophy and our current understanding of how time works.
There are two main schools of time travel theory, the singular timeline vs multiverse/parallel universes. A lot of really good stories make use of the first one (terminators 1, 2, and 3, Back to the Future, and for weebs out there Mirai Nikki) But recently the multiple universe stories are getting more and more popular cuz of the MCU. Both theories are correct in the sense that we cannot disprove one of them yet. Funny enough, Steins Gate uses both with the inclusion of the Alpha Line and maybe that's why this story is unique within the time travel stories.
The bad of both: the multiverse theory sucks as you can't go back to your own past, only at another timeline's past aka not yours.
The singular timeline can't answer the paradox of "what if I go back in time and kill my grandpa"
Personally I believe the singular timeline theory. And as for the paradox, i think paradoxes simply don't happen or exist (like how 0/0 can be thought about but not executed and yet math still works kinda thing)
I just finished original stiens gate and I am so confused on what stiens gate 0 is suppose to be can someone pls tell me
bro presented steins gate in "not the best way". give it a try guyss
5:27 counterpoint: some people are watching videos like this to have someone convince themselves to finally get on to watching something they heard of was really good but never had the motivation to do so. Major Spoiler warnings are still a must
i have watched and played through steins;gate several times but spoiling ep 12 without warning could put off some viewers from ever trying it
"It's a true masterpiece."
All people should watch this.
aint even gon lie i dropped it on the first ep😂 now i gotta finish it
I actually enjoyed first half of Steins;Gate since I'm used to watching Slice of Life genre. haha
I drop it after the first ep and eventually I went back to finish it, now I know how big of a mistake that was.
Truee
Imo my favorite anime oat not counting manga ( I’m counting Dejavu and Zero as well Zero is far better then anything I’ve ever watched) not read tho like Kingdom, Punpun and berserk for some examples
What I love about Steins;Gate is the fact that after watching the series if you watch episode 1 right away, you see it completely different. You notice so many things, because you now know about them.

Steins gate is so perfect like the ending, characters, story and the soundtrack everything was sooo goooood 😭😭😭
It's nice to see a new Steins;Gate video essay, one of the first anime that I've ever watch and the one that bring me down this rabbit hole that is visual novel and the entire Science Adventure series (Steins;Gate version of the MCU basically), the character development, the story build up, the mystery behind the plot and the amazing way that the writers interconnect everything and I really mean EVERYTHING truly one of the GOAT of anime and visual novel
Masked Man or any of the viewers who didn't read the original works if you really have the patience to read visual novel I'd HIGHLY and WHOLEHEARTEDLY suggest you go and strart reading the Science Adventure series since it's latest entry "Anonymous;Code" will be released in the west this September so it's really a perfect time to start I'm telling you will not regret it one bit
I was very similar when I watched it, waiting for it to pick up purely bc I knew something good had to happen for it to be so highly rated. Upon retrospect, those first episodes are amazing at setting up the characters, plot and had pretty good dialogue. But what I really like is how I was so invested in the characters towards the end that I wanted to go back to those episodes just to see them all happy and goofing around.
Wait till people discover the rest of this franchise, or realize that the story is even better in the visual novels.
Anyone got another anime like this?
This is one of the Greatest anime of all time. It had everything. Romance. Relationships. Philosophy. Great character development. Ups and downs.
The first 10 episodes are a slow burn but still great. The rest is keeps ending on a new high.
This anime change my life
What did you think of steins gate 0?
My favorite Anime of all time.
That shit hit me on a different level
S;G is for me the best anime of all time and I did watch quite a few,the games are also really dope
the scary thing is, as good as the anime is, the VN is even better.
steins peak
Master piece of a show. But I always called him ruka not luka im I missing something
cs in Japanese they say l as r so the subtitles js started saying ruka instead of luka but both is fine. I say ruka aswell cos that’s what I’m used to.
bruh past me see steins gate is one of the best anime about time travel ..... future me see steins gate is a masterpiece !
I prefer the first half to the second. The undoing the d-mails episodes (e.g. Moeka, Suzuha, Faris, Rukako) were relatively weaker (not saying they were bad). This was probably because these episodes were straightforward and felt more like a chore that Okabe had to do (not a bad thing). I think the reason these episodes were stronger on an initial watch was because they answered many important questions. However, this advantage isn't there during later rewatches, so they become somewhat inferior to the episodes in the first half where more details are picked up the second time. The beginning is what hooked me into steins;gate in the first place. It's what sold me on the characters and the mysterious but dreadful science adventure atmosphere. I still haven't seen a better first episode in anime. The action and climactic midpoint might have been necessary, but they were not the heart of the story.

If your not planning on playing the visual novel I recommend looking up the nae tennouji route. It's really just a short scene that takes place right after FB kills himself, but it's one of the most wildest moments in the series that they didn't add to the anime.
This is one anime where the dub (okabe mostly) is absolutely amazing, up there with Cowboy Bebop. J Michael Tatum (okabe VA)helped with the dub writing because he loved the VN and he voices Erwin in AoT dub and that speech is god tier. Hes amazing.
