I'm glad he didn't die from blood loss, like I knew there's still S;G 0 but didn't know if it was set in a different worldline or something. OVA episode also a lot of fun! now movie acquired, VN acquired (really wanted it on Switch but can't beat that discount), hopefully the platinum trophy requirements aren't super tedious. Will follow through on the order you outlined previously. I don't know how I feel about the S;G 0 cover art I've seen so far, it really looks super serious, I was picturing 24 episodes of light hearted slice-of-life-ishness but maybe that was a bad assumption to make! Interested to see what goes down there. Altogether a great series and I don't know where I'd put it in my rankings but it wouldn't crack the eternal top 3 (LotGH, Monster, FMA:B) but it'll be in the top 10 somewhere. I definitely feel like I need to rewatch it, I'm sure I'll pick up so much more on the rewatch. Still have outstanding questions that I wonder if S;G 0 will cover but probably not an issue if it doesn't. ~~-why does he have the "reading steiner" when no one else does? Really the #1 question I have, like I feel like we're owed an explanation for what makes him special...~~ ~~-what's the deal with him realizing he changed world lines when he had the fever as a kid?~~ ~~-the "70 million years ago" segment with him and Mayuri?~~ -I know it's implied that SERN is behind "FB" and the ensuing shenanigans but is it that simple? Why go through a convoluted extortion/blackmail route when you're (allegedly) a science lab? Is there actually some other "organization" out there in addition to SERN? -Also SERN is still out there still trying to create time travel and sending gooey humans through time to their death would still exist in the final timeline too, right? still feels like their continued existence is a problem even if they're not aware of Okabe and company and haven't mastered time travel (yet) -still not entirely clear how the phone microwave, or the combination of phone microwave + CRT tv turned on in the shop below, collectively functioned as a time machine, but I guess that's just how it was meant to be and I shouldn't think any further on it...! <cite>MartinFF7 posted [p:973240908] in Save My Fa...

Magical Girl Shows use beam spam and when they piloted Mechas, they're using a machine. That and seeing Vegeta job always warms the hear. 2) Gohan SSJ2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyMeAo9kgsY I am a Gohan mark, seeing him achieve all that potential after all these eps was hype. In hindsight, I wanted him to be and stay on as the main character of DBZ after Goku. 1) Goku turns SS for the first time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw3r0EmHq5w Without this, I don't think DBZ would be anywhere near being one of my favourite series. But I think DBZ might have the highest number of scenes that stand out for me even if other shows have since had higher highs. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. <cite>voltch posted [p:973241048] in Save My Fa...

Yup it's really neat how everything tied together! I didn't want to comment on the stuff you remembered from episode 1 and how it came back around to Okabe needing to recreate that all but yeah. Also shows how something as innocent as a metal uppa can change the fate of the world haha. Platinum is pretty easy to get. Think it's just getting all the endings and reading all the text messages of which I believe only 2 are missable? At least for S;G0, dunno about the original as I played that a couple years ago now. As far as S;G0 goes uh...yeah. It follows the Okabe that failed to save Kurisu (so the one that appears in the video on the phone in episode 23) so he's not exactly the most chipper guy in that timeline and in addition to this being the timeline that leads to World War III as Suzuha mentioned and you've got the makings of a somewhat depressing time at points! But you certainly have your happy slice-of-life moments too for sure! I can certainly answer your post-show questions too if you want since it might take you quite a while to get through everything. Heck, I didn't read S;G0 until this past winter and am just now going through the anime so yeah. But I'm also happy to let you ponder and wonder for as long as it takes you to get through it all haha <cite>MysteriousStan posted [p:973243820] in Save My Fa...

I definitely feel like I need to rewatch it, I'm sure I'll pick up so much more on the rewatch.Still have outstanding questions that I wonder if S;G 0 will cover but probably not an issue if it doesn't.-why does he have the "reading steiner" when no one else does? Really the #1 question I have, like I feel like we're owed an explanation for what makes him special...-what's the deal with him realizing he changed world lines when he had the fever as a kid?-the "70 million years ago" segment with him and Mayuri?-I know it's implied that SERN is behind "FB" and the ensuing shenanigans but is it that simple? Why go through a convoluted extortion/blackmail route when you're (allegedly) a science lab? Is there actually some other "organization" out there in addition to SERN?-Also SERN is still out there still trying to create time travel and sending gooey humans through time to their death would still exist in the final timeline too, right? still feels like their continued existence is a problem even if they're not aware of Okabe and company and haven't mastered time travel (yet)-still not entirely clear how the phone microwave, or the combination of phone microwave + CRT tv turned on in the shop below, collectively functioned as a time machine, but I guess that's just how it was meant to be and I shouldn't think any further on it...!</quote>Yup it's really neat how everything tied together! I didn't want to comment on the stuff you remembered from episode 1 and how it came back around to Okabe needing to recreate that all but yeah. Also shows how something as innocent as a metal uppa can change the fate of the world haha. Platinum is pretty easy to get. Think it's just getting all the endings and reading all the text messages of which I believe only 2 are missable? At least for S;G0, dunno about the original as I played that a couple years ago now. As far as S;G0 goes uh...yeah. It follows the Okabe that failed to save Kurisu (so the one that appears in the video on the phone in episode 23) so he's not exactly the most chipper guy in that timeline and in addition to this being the timeline that leads to World War III as Suzuha mentioned and you've got the makings of a somewhat depressing time at points! But you certainly have your happy slice-of-life moments too for sure!I can certainly answer your post-show questions too if you want since it might take you quite a while to get through everything. Heck, I didn't read S;G0 until this past winter and am just now going through the anime so yeah. But I'm also happy to let you ponder and wonder for as long as it takes you to get through it all haha</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
MartinFF7 05/03/23 5:58:47 PM #87:	Oh wow, so that would make the OVA the real last canonical installment of the "true" group? Feels kind of weird since it's not like a real sequel, but I guess all the characters are still the same, but it's almost like a Marvel "What If" nagging feel in the back of my mind, hahaha... well, going to be interesting! Then that also means there's no Kurisu right? Ideally this elevates Mayuri back to premiere leading lady status!! ~~Also lol @ the metal upa with Mayushii written on it, yeah. I had forgotten about the static video on the phone too. But very nice how it was all wrapped up.~~ Yeah it'd be one thing if I was doing the S;G 0 anime because I'd knock that out in a week but doing the game will take longer + I probably won't be starting it soon since I'll want to finish off the game I'm currently playing.

Wouldn't mind any answers you're willing to give. I'd say the canonicality of the OVA is dubious as well considering they meet someone who looks like Suzuha and it's implied that she is Daru's future wife but that is not the case as this is a plot point in S;G0. But you can pretty much handwave that away so the OVA is fine to consider canon. But correct, the last chronological bit of Steins;Gate is the end of the anime/OVA. But yeah, S;G0 is pretty akin to What If....though of course it's canon haha. And well there's still time travel/wordline shenanigans so I wouldn't necessarily rule out seeing Kurisu again.

Like when Faris and Mayuri and the others had memories of the other worldline they just chalk it up to dreams or deja vu and whatnot. Okabe is the one who is aware though. This idea is explored a bit more in S;G0 though. -Nothing really. It was just to note that it was the first time he probably experienced Reading Steiner. Which makes sense since it was during the year 2000 which was noted as a big time point. I always looked at it as the fever was so bad and that Okabe was on the brink of living or dying that his RS manifested when the world line changed but that's more of a personal theory. ~~-Nothing specific.

Time is vast and goes both forward and backward and you don't really know what you're getting into messing with it.~~ ~~-This might be a topic in S;G0 but I can't remember specifically so I won't comment on it.~~ -True but the D-Mail was a huge breakthrough for them and without that they're still chasing ghosts pretty much. Even a genius like Kurisu eventually decided that time travel wasn't possible until she met Okabe and the gang so I'd say it stands to reason that without a bit of guidence, SERN won't be capable of finding the key to time travel. -Yeah you just gotta accept that "it works cause that's how the story goes" haha.
