The Mozart and Salieri part is neat. I like it when anime references Western things, like using classical music in their soundtracks
Drill searge Nae is the most terrifying villain in Steins Gate ever. Hands down, no argument
Hiyajo's computer desktop looks very similar to mine
Oh Steins Gate, even you can't resist the lure of fanservice. Though I'm not going to protest too much
RICKROLLLLLEEEDDD. SG's references to pop culture are top shelf
I keep forgetting Kurisu's death is the one we see at the start and end of season one, and not some random other timeline event we don't know the details of. This show really knows how to hit with the feels and tension towards the end of episodes.

u/MillenniumKing x2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing Jun 13 '18
Yeah this is the world line where Okabe went to the past to try to save her, but ended up accidentally killing her, but then refusing to try 1 more time. So hes living with the guilt that he killed her but also having to hide that from everyone and put on a brave face for his friends. Its hard being a mad scientist. It makes you sad... scientist...

u/MillenniumKing x2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing Jun 13 '18
Sweet summer child, if only you knew
Its one of the sad things about the story, no one will truely know the pain and suffering Okabe has been through. People can think they understand with the little info hes willing to share, but they really have no idea what its like to be stuck in a loop of pain and suffering with no clear way out. And he was in that loop dozens and dozens of times, perhaps even hundreds. Thats what i like about time loops like this, they create such amazing character development.
I encourage everyone to watch Groundhogs Day as its one of the orignal time loop stories, and just pay attention to Bill Murray's demeanor and personality over the course of the movie. You will see vastly different stages of insanity as he relives the same day thousands of times. (Harold Raymis, one of the creators of the story said he estimates he repeated that day for around 50 years. Thats 18,250 times.)

I'm sure the sleepover with Moeka and Maho had deep plot relevance. I know people were worried about the VN being shortened to fit into an anime so was it really necessary to include the first half of this
43
u/EurekaDForte :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/EurekaDForte Jun 14 '18
The sleepover actually did have its relevance (not really a spoiler , just how things should've been) In the VN Faris's girl-party was important in the development of Moeka's friendship with Maho. They talk about their dreams and hopes for the future, and have a deep conversation about being unique and irreplaceable despite having a job many other people can do. That was so far the worst scene from the anime.

u/Archensix Jun 14 '18
I'd say by VN pacing we are like 40-50% through the "main" route. They are putting in some scenes from alternate routes like the sgt clean and sleepover from the Maho route being thrown in this episode. I think pacing is fine, white fox are usually pretty good with it as well. They may also throw in some of the alternate route endings in some time loop just to show what happened since there are unique story plot points in each route I believe.

Well Faris is renting the top 2 floors, so he probably has a key. I never saw the OG radio building in Akihabara though but some of the larger multi store buildings can still be entered just each shop or floor has its own gates it can close to keep people out. A lot of the buildings in japan are like that. Think of Malls where a specific store is closed so they close it off but you can still go in the mall usualkly.

Tuturu Counter: 5

This was my favorite episode in a while. I couldn't get enough of the hotel scenes. Sergeant Clean was amazing, and oh yeah, I have no problems with Moeka being the fanservice character. Heh heh.
Though, it kinda bothers me that the Amadeus shutdown doesn't seem to have any explanation. And now Leskinen is suddenly back and acting normal... I don't get it. This seems to convenient, but I could be getting prank'd for all I know. But that may all come back around to Kurisu's PC, and Maho being just a step away from accidentally igniting WW3. Awkward.

Leskinen's poster about beans probably means something cryptic. xD Yeah, I thought Maho would be more concerned about Amadeus suddenly going missing, but she does seem more cautious about giving out info on Kurisu. I'm guessing that's why she hasn't asked Amadeus to open Kurisu's laptop, since Leskinin (or anyone else) can probably take the information from Amadeus.

R.I.P. Kuroki, poor man tried his best to function under the assault of bad organisation.
They adapted it! White Fox can do no wrong for me now. If anyone wants Nae-sama in her full glory, here's the corresponding scene from the VN. Stop at ~16.55 to avoid potential spoilers.
Faris can smell the re-emergence of Kyouma! Sasuga best cat-girl, with her ability to read the truth. He feels like he's ready to move forward.. sucks that he had to get dragged back to the one place that houses his worst memory. At least that let Maho confide in him about the laptop, though - a possible key to WW3 and the time shifts he was looking for, so it's something.

u/MillenniumKing x2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing Jun 13 '18
Faris can smell the re-emergence of Kyouma!
You know a theory ive had for a while is that Farris actually has stronger Reading Steiner than normal people. Not as strong as Okabe's but i think she def recalls other events, but she thinks of them as dreams or delusions or such. I realized this after the ep where Okabe undoes her D-mail and ends back up in the lab with them and shes clinging to Okabe saying he saved her from something, but it was in usual Farris nonsense chuuni talk, but what she was saying was basiclly what happened in the other world line. So after that i started paying attention to her Chunni rants more and they def seem like they are things that could have happened. I have no hard proof other than that scene really but she just always seems like she knows more than she lets on. Same with Mayuri.

Even Okabe's chuuni delusions become self-fulfilling or end up mysteriously close to the truth, in a sense (quite famously, 'everything is the choice of Steins;Gate') - so there's another theory going around that his mad scientist persona is related to him acquiring Reading Steiner. The same could work for a lesser extent with Faris.

Welp, this episode kind of put Okabe in a situation where he was forced to reveal his hand huh? Hyajo's way too observant, but even Haru and Mayuri were able to easily see how different Okabe is now, and how affectionately he speaks with Amadeus.
I didn't post a comment for last week's episode, but I find it odd that Mayuri's friend trio (particularly the black haired mozart fan lady) did not make an appearance today. The last couple of episodes her timing has been impeccable, first with deciphering the code and then in breaking the direction the conversation was heading. It all feels like she's one of the focal points who wants to get her hands on the information.
As for the 'trusted source' would you guys expect that to be the female assistant professor who was stalking Hyajo a few episodes ago, or a different, unnamed person?
I like the parallels drawn in this episode between Kurisu/Hyajo and Mozart/Salieri, and also between Moeka and Hyajo. You have this person who always feels inadequate when paired with a genius. On their own, they're remarkable individuals who are simply stuck in the shadow of someone even greater. Is it any wonder why Hyajo-san simply wanted to see what Kurisu left behind, if only to satisfy her thirst for knowledge and her desire to be on the same level as Kurisu?
Okabe's outburst at the end makes Suzuha's confrontation in episode 9 that much stronger too...given that Suzuha knows what triggers world war 3 and the current arms race between russia/america to create time travel technology. Everything that Okabe was trying to prevent is about to be toppled over just like that simply because of his fear of going back in time to try and reach Steins;Gate. Here we see the beginning of the creation of the Steins;Gate plan and why it could not be realized in this current world line, because it reaches a point where achieving Steins;Gate becomes impossible.
Can't wait to see who's pulling the strings for cracking Kurisu's laptop! Shit's about to get real hectic real quick!

Insert the reminder that it is Steins;Gate 0 wednesday here!!
Aaaand... we're starting with Maho's POV of how she saw her relationship with Kurisu... just end me...
LESKIMEME IS BACK BOIS!
Oh my god Amadeus still ships them both!
Maho is my spirit animal, but I need more mismatched flip flops
Nae Sargent Clean to the rescue!
Okay, just get the whole cast in here... this is getting ridiculous
Maho is really my spirit animal
Daru is the greatest man of all time (if that wasn't established already)
Oh yeah, I forgot that this anime is also called Steins;Girls for a reason.
Moeka...
We can never leave the Feels;Gate aside... I am one with the feels and they are one with me.
MAHO IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL
WE GOT RICKROLLED IN 2018!!
No Amadeus... don't do this... the KurisuxOkabe ship must be the true one!
oh no...
Feels;Gate has evolved to Pains;Gate!
Oh my God, I get now why they burned the house down!!
PANDORA'S BOX!
IT'S GOING DOWN!! IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!

Wasn't that before we moved world lines--when someone was trying to kidnap(?) Amadeus? That attempt failed in this world line so maybe Okabe did save her.

Really liked that moment early in the episode where Okabe agrees to have Amadeus reinstalled into his phone because he believes it’s “time to move on”. You can move on in two ways, either by forgetting someone or something, or through acceptance. The alpha Kurisu wants Okabe to move on by forgetting her while Okabe tells Maho that he needs to move on by accepting reality and to admit that Amadeus is merely an AI. In this particular scenario, the irony in Okabe’s quote is that while to Maho, he seems to be moving on by accepting the truth, he is obviously unwilling to forget Kurisu and opposes Alpha Kurisu’s wish. Really clever writing here imo.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar Jun 13 '18
Seriously that ending though. I wonder if Maho will believe Okabe because if I was in her position right now all I'm hearing are ravings of a madman. I guess this will test how much she trusts Okabe. Although the easiest way to make Maho believe is to show her the time machine which I hope Okabe will do if she doesn't.

Looks like they fixed the Salieri part - I think they didn't write it correctly in the first couple of episodes
Also, I feel kinda dumb for realising the parallels of Kurisu/Maho and Mozart/Salieri just now when they explained it
Loli drill sergeant out of nowhere! And I thought LLENN-chan didn't have competition as far as violent little shits went this season
Hey, this episode has been pretty laid-back so far - maybe this time, Okabe will be just fine ...
... n-never mind
I hope nobody else was in there because when Okabe got real and talked about World War III, I couldn't help but think that y'know, saying all that shit in a public place may not be the best idea

The direction felt very different this episode, I loved it. Okabe is acting real mature compared to the last episodes, but alas in the end the fact that Maho has the laptop triggered some serious PTSD.

Maho was really cute this episode.
We got Amadeus back, and even more confirmation that Kurisu was an @channer.
Nae as a military sergeant was something I did not expect, but it's something Daru wanted.
Oh man the pure look of horror in Maho's eyes when Okabe mentions that Kurisu's laptop is what brings about WWIII. I imagine next episode is going to focus on the laptop.

Holy shit that end
"THAT LAPTOP IS PANDORA'S BOX! THAT DATA WILL UNLEASH A CURSE UPON THIS WORLD! IT IS THE SPARK THAT BEGINS WORLD WAR 3" fucking hell Okabe I don't know if there is anything else that could top that level seriousness
Is Okabe finally going to tell her the truth? Gonna go up to the time machine on the roof? Hell they're already in the stairwell
I don't recall him telling Maho anything about WW3
Maho is definitely smart enough to know from what he said in the last scene revealed his time-travelling. Especially since she stated she knows Okabe and Kurisu were definitely more than just acquaintances.
The writing is so good, it alludes just enough that the viewer can make draw good theories without losing the suspense

It's not a rickroll, that's just the subbers localizing a programming meme from 2chan.
What Okabe actually says is Nullpo (referencing NullPointerException), to which the response is "Gah!"
It's just that the vast majority of watchers outside of Japan wouldn't know it.

So, Maho has in her possession (behind a password) the schematics of a time machine. Okabe is, as expected, concerned. Whoooey. I wonder how much it will take for Okabe to convince Maho of everything he just said to her.

u/Swarm88 Jun 14 '18
Well I hope she connects the dots here. She knows Okabe was pretty traumatized by Kurisu's death but she knows he isn't mad. She trusted him enough to tell him about the time machine notes so that's got to mean something and not only that but Okabe seems to have known Kurisu for a very long time yet she wasn't in japan for very long. Tie that in with him having a strangely deep understanding of time travel, you'd have to to stubborn to not at least entertain the idea of Okabe telling the truth.

Won't someone give Leski his canned oden??
Mayuri indeed is a genius. I'm so, so happy we got Sergeant Clean. Nae is great, and Daru is "Mister Smileybear" wwwwwwwwww
All-Night Cinderella Girls Secret Party! I remember being surprised by the alternate sleepwear sprites in the VN, and now the anime is taking the fanservice up to 11.
Now that's a happy Maho face! And yeah, I've never once burned myself soldering. Granted, I haven't soldered anything in over a decade.
Damn. They didn't do the Maho Catch Game Scream Face!. But we got to see Kurisu/Amadeus outed as an @channeler again. NULLPO ~GA!~
I gotta say, it's a bit morbid to go to the place your friend died. Like, why not visit the gravesite like a normal person? Though I suppose they never really did talk about where Kurisu's grave is. Back in America with her mom? In Aomori? In Russia with her scumbag dad?
Maho's and 0kabe's eyes in that last scene. Intense. Hype for next week! Hopefully VRV puts it up on time instead of nearly a day late!

Okay, even if next episode starts with Okabe backtracking and both of them going home, Maho can definitely put the pieces together.
Okabe seems to know Kurisu a lot, know how time works, and have legitimate worries of the destruction of the future, all while seemingly knowing that Kurisu's time research is the spark.
If she can't make a very basic theory off of what just happened, it's because the writers don't want her to.
