Oh dear, I ranked this before I finished the series, and it probably belongs a few spots lower. I actually played the VN a while ago, and found the anime to be a superior adaptation. The pacing is really good, theres not as much time spent on Okabe being depressed, theres a bunch of Amadeus scenes added, the pacing is better, etc. The art and animation are actually better than the first SG anime (while the SG0 VN has worse art than the SG VN, IMO), and everything seemed to be executed well in general. That was for the first half. In the second half, it runs into the issue that the VN was totally non-linear and had a bunch of different routes, but the true route incorporates elements from a bunch of them, so the anime had to try and adapt all of those. These series gets a bit less interesting for a while, unfortunately, though it picks back up at the end (the ending itself was really well done).

As for my opinions about the story itself: its pretty good! It has a lot of the stuff that made the original SG great, a very interesting story, and Okabe getting over his depression and such is great. I like Maho quite a bit, though the other new characters arent quite as high quality as she is. There are some good emotional moments, the humor is solid, and all the characters go through some cool development. Im glad the SG0 didnt shortchange Daru like the original did, since hes a lot of fun here, especially in his serious moments. Overall, its not quite as good as the original Steins;Gate, but its about as much as I could hope for from a sequel. It doesnt feel like its just some cheap cash grab. Im not sure whether Id recommend the VN or the anime more, but if you love SG, SG0 is definitely worth getting into!
