"Achievement Point"
Okabe has one final chance to travel back in time, set everything right, and save the girl he never even got to love. His mission is vital, but it may mean the end for the mad scientist.

Nice
You guys really need to watch the OVA and then Episode 23 Beta if you plan on watching Steins;Gate 0.
No poll yet? That's a little odd. Does that mean they will watch the ova or is the poll just a little late?
Yes they are watching the OVA and then on to whatever's next
I hope you guys pick up the movie and Steins;Gate 0. I personally love them both and feel they are a must.
Do they know the movie takes place on this timeline?
Probably not. It's also widely considered not canon purely because of the broken time travel rules they have in it, messing with this show's preset bible.
so the reason that okabe didn't run into himself after the first attempt it's because everytime they time travel with a time machine the wordline shifts by the most tiny of margins so it's a different world line. So the instant they went back in time it changed the world line.
Did I miss the poll for next show ?
You didn't, there's either more Steins;Gate next week or they have chosen the next show themselves.
Great Great Great Show ! any series has a hard time :) replacing it. I would enjoy going throw S;G 0 with u guys but if it doesnt win i guess i just watch for my own. Okabe rly catapulted as one of my all Time Favorite Characters and the Time Travelstory was told almost at a perfekt Level.
We wouldn’t have gotten this great script if it wasn’t for the original Japanese version. J. Micheal Tatum did however do a great job at adapting it for western audiences.
It's pretty interesting to listen to him in a commentary on the Blu-Ray of this series- he said that the Okabe character affected him so much he pretty much had a complete breakdown at one point during voice recording. He pretty much threw everything into the performance and you can really notice it
I tend to think that it is really important to watch Steins;Gate 0- I think it gives way more impact and meaning to what happens at the end of the original series. Just because you know how it ends doesn't make it not worth watching, and the way in which the characters progress is fascinating
Somewhat agree, even if 0 is drag to watch and predictable at times the one thing I did enjoy about Stein;Gate 0 was the ‘what if’ moments and character. If he did things differently and we get to see how that would have played out for an episode or two. And even though we know how they get to the Stein;Gate worldline the pay off is still there with 0. Plus we see more of the future stuff hinted in s1.
It's been a great ride but I'd suggest ending it here in terms of the anime adaptation and just read the VN for Steins Gate Zero in their own time if they WANTED to. Because it's true, the main story is over with a satisfying conclusion. Everything else is extra "optional" material. Zero's story didn't need to be told, but it's there if you're interested. Same can be said for the OVA. The movie is a mix bag.
what about Steins;Gate Fuka Ryouiki no Deja-vu
They're not doing the film, which I think is for the better due to both its non-canon nature and its messing with the series' established rules of time travel, which the guys are big on
At the end: "and we start a series just as a surprise sometimes"... I hope that's a hint that they're picking up SG0 as separate surprise in addition to the new poll... Would be a well earned troll at all of us (including myself) expressing frustration every week since they announced SG0 would be a poll show and not an auto-pickup.
The time travel in this show sets up it's rules and then doesn't break them. There is no fast and loose.
If I'm being perfectly honest, I'd rather they watch another anime of the same caliber than continue with Steins;Gate 0. I don't think it's a necessary story continuation and it definitely isn't as good as the first series. It would be terrible if they end up being disappointed by it considering they like this one so much.
S;G0 is great tho?
Great series! Hoping Samurai Champloo is up next! Some live, some die...
Thats the way of the samurai
man if steins;gate 0 doesnt win the next poll Ima riot as well
Glad to see people over here like it. It seems like the people who comment on youtube hate it.
There wouldn't be a third Okabe or Suzuha when they returned for the third time, because they travelled back to a point just before his actions in episode 23 caused divergence. In other words, they climbed back down to the trunk of the tree before it branched off. And since they were there physically in episode 23, their presence during that time period wasn't a fixed point, but merely an external influence.
The VN explained that every form of time travel causes a split in the worldline, thus preventing any paradoxes so two versions of time travellers cannot exist in one worldline. Really wished the anime added this information, because it shows everything onscreen exists for a reason. Steins Gate has been top notch in detail so far, so it seems odd they'd be so careless to leave a possible "plot hole" hanging when there already was an explanation in the original source.
really hope Steins;Gate 0 gets picked, would be fun to see their discussions
I do too it would be good for reactions but you shouldn't be surprised if they don't really enjoy it.
If Steins; Gate 0 gets picked, please watch 23B OVA before that. It will help you understand where the story takes place. They are very closely related.
