I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

it's an Amazon show and isn't set to premiere until tomorrow i think. but since it's Amazon you can expect frequent and unexpected delays when it comes to the episodes actually getting uploaded.

Good to know Steins Gate Zero confirming it'll be AotS with that first episode. I guess it was a safe pick for that before but that was a very intense episode really good.

To be fair, Stein;Gate is a really popular anime, and without having prior knowledge of the material i would have wagered Zero would have been if similar quality...and who knows, maybe the anime will elevate itself above the source material.

Er, that post was more presumptuous than I meant it to be, sorry...

It recieved plenty of praise from critics, and I've seen many people enjoy the game too, but I've also heard from a few ADTRW posters that it sucks compared to the original VN, and I kinda trust their opinions, so I wasn't expecting the story to be good-however the rest of the show could absolutely be amazing and it wouldn't even shock me.

Is anyone else watching Steins;Gate Zero?

It was pretty divisive from what I've seen. I enjoyed it myself even if I didn't think it was quite as good as the first, but I can definitely see where the criticism comes from. Some of the subplots just weren't well-executed - though my main issue with those was in the way they were told rather than in the actual story itself - and the ending was rather disappointing, so there's room for the anime to improve things. All that said, I feel that quite a bit of the criticism gets overblown, so I wouldn't worry too much if you're enjoying it thus far.

I haven't watched it yet but I plan to. I am kinda concerned because a handwave plot point on the main story isn't exactly the most exciting thing in the first place

Steins;Gate 0 the VN is fine but just comes across as ultimately superfluous/unnecessary. Okabe's "new" arc is interesting in of itself but it it's compromised simply by the fact that you know how it ends in the original and none of what they do with the rest of the cast is enough to fill out the rest of the story, so it feels like it's spinning its wheels for much of it.

I guess in so far as much as it is a show about how he deals with his trauma and PTSD, I thought the first episode did a really great job showing his efforts and attempting to get past it, a lot of it requiring some subtle inferring. As far as pacing issues would go, I guess my one critique would be that the episode would have ended way better if it was 10 seconds longer and showed whatever Amadeus Kurisu is on the screen and Kyouma's reaction to that, though I'm just assuming that's what happens next according to the plot synopsis.

I liked the tryhards that had an excuse for trying hard but then they forget the game they were using for training purposes has magic speedhacks and probably wouldnt be good for real world training so they resign.

Steins gate zero was an enjoyable read in the moment but it's superfluous narratively since of where they position it and most everything effective in the game is just hitting the same emotional notes as the first, the new characters and subplots are pretty weak

Dessel

Yeah Steins;Gate 0 is definitely decent enough and I liked going through it but it felt like almost growing out of a fandom while reading it. That being said I like "normal" Okabe premise a lot. The anime adaptation seems equivalent quality to the first anime so far. I'll look forward to the episodes each week. This season does seem rather strong to me personally judging from first few episodes of a few shows.

edit: I honestly wish the Sci;Adv series would just make a new VN/anime/whatever with adults as the protagonist. One of the major likes I had for Steins;Gate was that the cast weren't bunch of high schoolers.

No, watch the original

If you’re like me, and you stopped reading/watching Yowamushi Pedal a while ago, you might want to watch the latest episode. It’s a character background episode and it is so loving wild I couldn’t stop yelling and laughing.

Talking of the new shows, Caligula's reminded me a lot of Steins;Gate's beginning in a really, really good way and apparently I'm not the only one... until whatever the gently caress at the end happened. I pray we're not going lol swords and guns and humans with superpowers route. I mean, I kinda remembered the basic premise of the show but I did not expect that lovely end at all.

edit: I'm not really holding out for much hope but the show had great atmosphere.

Thursday is the actual airing date in Japan. It is just that Amazon Japan gets noitaminA shows a day early for the 1st episode, which usually also includes English subs but I guess they stopped doing that.

It’s not any more ridiculous than P5 wrt powers or fighting as a mechanic in conflicts, but the story is less about the fighting itself and more about the characters and why they are the way they are.
