I hope you guys better watch it in this order: Steins;Gate (24 episodes) -> Steins;Gate OVA (Egoistic Poriomania) -> Movie (Load Region of Déjà Vu), then Steins;Gate Episode 23 β (Divide by Zero) -> Steins;Gate 0 -> Steins;Gate 0 OVA (Polymorphic Valentinus). Take note: The movie isn't based on the visual novel, it was created originally by the anime staff to extend the story.
Okabe’s “mad scientist” speech gets me, he’s so hurt he goes to his coping mechanism and tries to act over dramatic and bombastic but it all crumbles when Mayuri tells he he doesn’t have to act like that anymore.
In the VN he actually cries when Mayuri tells him it's okay to cry for himself now, dunno why they cut that part in the anime, one of the very few things I wasn't happy with when I watched it.
@@sineupp Yes I completely agree! The VN version of that scene is way more powerful, how Okabe is struggling not to break down, his internal monologue: "I will never see Kurisu again. That knowledge shreds my heart..........I can't stop my tears. This is the world I"ve been searching for, a world where Mayuri does not die. And yet, it is missing the person most important to me. It's too much...its too cruel."
I love how quickly Mayuri realised his suffering. The mad scientist persona was Okabe's way to keep Mayuri from feeling as if she wanted to die. It was harmless at first, but the second Okabe show that he's struggling with it, she tells him he doesn't have to do it anymore and it that it is no longer a crutch she needs. It's quite an intense response from Mayuri.
i remember first watching this episode i teared up and kept replaying THIS ANIME ISNT EVEN CONSIDERED ROMANCE YET THE ROMANCE IS BETTER THAN MOST ROMANCE ANIME AHHHH!!!!
Better build ups in a situation and it makes sense If a romance love is rushed because the author themselves never experienced what a romantic build up and tension
His breakdown, their conversation, the kiss, the music and the ending get me every damn time and I watched this episode at least 20 times and in 3 different versions, never not cried
lol I understand, I've seen this show dozens of times and it's still goes as you describe here's a little something to cheer you up ua-cam.com/video/FilFVLV7Kcg/v-deo.html
This. I'm one of those "sub is always better" faction, but I can't stress enough that the dub for this anime is at least on par with the original JP VAs. Not only that, the localization team also did a good job going an extra mile to localize the references, and better yet, the jokes and references don't flop.
@@Altraax I disagree. First of all, it is really hard to match or be even better than the original voiceover since the whole anime was produced with the sub in mind. Then there is a language barrier which prevents the dub from getting the message 100% across. And last but not least the Voices. I hate Mayuris voice in the Dub whereas in the original the voices were picked by the production team to match the characters. Furthermore I don't think the Dub is able to carry as many emotions as the Sub. That's my personal opinion after watching both versions. I don't have anything against dub but if you wanna experience a show the way it was originally designed you better watch the Sub. Amen
@@johanliebert4622 Well I also prefer the original. The dub for this one is one of the best but in general being too lazy to read subtitles isn't a reason to defend dubbed anime. You probably watched the dubbed version of Monster too...
I was gonna comment saying Moeka was most likely his first kiss because of how he went down on her when trying to get her phone. But then I remembered his first kiss, so did the FBI
@@jonathanpowell7256 the ending of the show was great, the ova was good and the movie was ok, i'd rather them finish with the show or the ova, it's a batter ending.
Thank you, youall at blind wave. For letting me experience Steins;Gate in it's english dub. Being Japanese, I would of never consider watching it in dub due to japanese being my first language. And DAMN this episode hit home so much more in the wonderful acting and flawless localization by J. Michael Tatum. "...But there's world of ideas dancing in her eyes and her theories God have always hold me spellbound..." Fuck... this dialogue is so good, and maybe even better than the original japanese line. Unno man. It felt way more genuine than to me.
The dub is really good, but I still prefer Miyano's acting personally. Plus I'll never forget whoever changed Stardust Handshake into "shaking hands with the stardust" ugh *shivers*
sineupp Yeah I was honestly in that boat until I started watching these reaction, and Tatum really made a new version of Okabe that matches Miyano’s version. And now, I don’t know which I prefer more. Maybe need to watch both version simultaneously with english in one ear and Japanese in the other and compare them.
@@tasogarerubica I gradually come to thinking that dub gets me more than the original. Tatum's interpretation gives a different flavour to the character. He managed to reveal Okabe's chunibyuo side twice as vividly with all of those grandiloquent expressions, it made his speech sound even more ridiculous, which is so characteristic of Okabe. Also they did a very good job on adapting some untranslatable jokes for western audience, I don't know if it was the right decision since the meaning is different, but they nailed it, it was actually funny.
AnimatorArt24 yeah as some who can get the jokes in Japanese due to knowing enough of Japanese internet culture of the day spending a good portion of my time during the late 00’s on sites like 2chan and niconico. But that wouldn’t wholly apply to people who haven’t delved into said Japanese subculture around the same time, so the jokes may fall flat for some viewers. The translation, well more so localization of these niche and obscure referential jokes were interchanged with western references and inside jokes that isn’t a true translation, but it manages to sell the joke in these situations and scenes in the same manner of original language. I’ve dabbled into translation and localization as a side job a few times, so what this dub achieved is like I said a “flawless localization”. I mean the dub’s jokes land for me more so than the Japanese counterpart due to me living in the west and while the japanese jokes due land from experiencing said culture virtually and digitally in media.
I remember crying when reaching this part in the VN, such a powerful scene The Fate series used to be my #1 until i played/watched Steins Gate, truly a remarkable series
So, the diference between Suzuha from Alpha to Beta, is that in Beta line she calculated the trajectory wrong and crashed, while Alpha managed to land on top of the building without major problems. Please someone correct me if I’m mistaken
@@john_etc it is the other way arround but yeah, on the alpha worldline she doesnt get the coordinates right and materializes mid roof, on the beta world line she does manage to land properly, there is also more differences like, alpha worldline makise is alive, mayuri isnt and the world is controlled by sern, beta worldline makise dies, mayuri lives and the world war 3 starts . and finally there is the steins gate world line.
pudge69 I don’t know why you’re asking me but I’ll answer I guess. If you want to watch Steins;Gate 0 before finishing the original, which I personally recommend, it makes the ending of the original even better, watch 23B then watch Steins Gate 0. After finishing, watch the last two episodes of the original. There is an OVA and a movie that take place after the original show, but neither are canonical. If you want to watch anyway, the OVA would come first, then conclude via the movie.
Kurisu was mouthing "sayonara" at the train station. Also I recommend reacting to Steins gate movie as well. By the way, the show isn't clear on this but there is only one active worldline rather than parallel worldlines, and only the worldlines was once activated can have its memories carry through to the next one. It is just much better for world building, otherwise you would have infinite number of Okabes jumping through infinite worldlines, and momories from infinite worldlines would bleed through the one we are observing and create a narrative nightmare.
Actually, you were correct. Rewatch episode 1. The first time you see the time vehicle, it hadn't crashed; it LANDED. Later, when Okabe is on the street, it is shown to have crashed. Gosh I love this show!
Steins gate episode 22 „Being meltdown“ Caution: very long comment (probably the longest I’ve ever written, so TL,DR coming too) and personal opinion ahead but I feel like I wanna put this out at least once: Too long , didn’t read: this episode is my favorite piece of fiction, nothing has made me feel quite like this before or after, managing to make me go through every emotion humanly possible; if you have had a similar experience, share it with me which show/anime/movie it did for you ^^ Long, read: *_BELIEVE ME_* (he he, see what I did there?) when I say that this episode is my favorite piece of fiction out of everything I’ve ever seen so far, and I’ve watched a decent amount of shows/animes/movies, especially in the last few years. From the moment Kurisu stops okabe from time leaping again until the end it just becomes pure perfection. There are a few episodes of certain shows that I think come *fairly* close to this (5 I can think of from the top of my head) but none of them has made me feel the way this episode has done the first time I watched it, I was just sitting there with a huge smile on my face constantly holding back tears until that kiss, I quite possibly went through every emotion humanly possible in the span of these 22 minutes. „Damn you Einstein“ indeed. Everything from the characters, the dialogue, the visuals, the aesthetics to the voice acting (in all versions I’ve seen which are: Japanese, English, German) are superb. This episode features only two characters almost the whole time and you don’t even realize it until it’s over. Not to mention the beautiful OST, which quite frankly might as well be one of my favorites. I don’t care if anyone thinks that this episode is the best of the show, hell you don’t even have to like it, but for me this is something I’m probably never going to forget because it impacted me that much the first time experiencing it. If any of you have anything that made you feel like no other thing has, similar to my experience with steins gate episode 22, assuming you actually read my whole comment, feel free to give me a reply on this ^^
Great! I agree with you, that's one of few things in fiction, that made me cry. And i still getting the feels, every time i rewatch it. Steins Gate is such a amazing show.
Steins;Gate became my favourite piece of fiction after episode 22. But if we talk moments that made me cry like this episode did , one relatively shorter anime is Assassination Classroom. One piece and Naruto as well
@@zahed5556 Clannad is one of the best in this issue. But If i'd say one, would be FMA in a general, there are so many emotinal things in that show, its just amazing.
Weirdly enough, this scene plays out COMPLETELY IDENTICAL (no I'm not exaggerating) in Re Zero episode 18. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil the details of it, but suffice to say, I LITERALLY had the EXACT same experience with that episode that you had with this episode. The majority of the episode is two main characters in the same spot just talking to each other and letting their hearts out. One contemplates about "running away" and the other gives one of THE BEST confessions in not just anime but any media. I can't even begin to describe the emotions running through me but it was the closest I gotten to crying without actually crying. I put off Re Zero for 2 years until the first part of the dub came out and 6 more months for the second part after many delays, yet somehow not only did I remember everything vividly, I was invested from start to finish without losing my hype. The English dub was PHENOMENAL (thank you Sean Chiplock and Brianna Knickerbocker) throughout and especially for that episode and what gave it that extra nudge is the godly OST and the EP18 insert song. It's been such a long time since I felt the same adrenaline I had when I got into anime and I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST. It's a goddamn masterpiece I'll never forget. It's kinda uncanny that we both had the same experience for different anime with the same episode made by the same studio. What is it with White Fox and time travel thriller masterpieces featuring an overly eccentric protagonist suffering trying to save everyone and his love triangle and having an entire episode dedicated to two characters talking? XD
Never had I cried more in front of a screen than watching this episode the first time. Second and thrid viewings were harsh too. God damn I love this story, I want to force everyone of my friends to watch it x)
If you guys want to find out about the "sand timeline" I'd take a look at steins gate 0. It brings it all together and to me enriches the story even more!
@@VikWaxWhat you are suggesting is bad. When you do that in your first try, that would spoil the original anime series episode 23. That is why the release order is the best way to go.
Except that is not the same scene, since it happened on a different worldline. In this worldline, Kurisu didn't get any D-Mail, read Babel of the Grieved Maze manga if you don't believe it.
Connected in the means of scenario, not the worldline is what I mean hence different perspective ua-cam.com/video/8aySM-EKBXQ/v-deo.html the side by side comparison
@@brobot550 No, it is not that worldline. Firstly, how in this worldline Kurisu could get a D-Mail, which was sent in a LATTER worldline? A D-Mail ALWAYS comes from a PREVIOUS worldline, this is a fact. Secondly, as I told you, Babel of the Grieved Maze manga takes place exactly in THIS worldline. That manga shows the events from Kurisu's point of view, and she didn't get anything. Thirdly, this WL's div number is 0.571046, while that worldline in zero is 0.571082. So they are jot the same at all.
Me after seeing them watched the post credit scene: *Laughs in Mad Scientist* Also me after Rick pointed out FB's connections later on in Beta WL with Okabe: *Laughs in Steins Gate 0*
From what iv read and heard, Steins;Gate 0 will be a polled show meaning the viewers will have to vote on it but considering SG0s reputation its doubtful to win.
I hope you guys better watch it in this order: Steins;Gate (24 episodes) -> Steins;Gate OVA (Egoistic Poriomania) -> Movie (Load Region of Déjà Vu), then Steins;Gate Episode 23 β (Divide by Zero) -> Steins;Gate 0 -> Steins;Gate 0 OVA (Polymorphic Valentinus). Take note: The movie isn't based on the visual novel, it was created originally by the anime staff to extend the story.
I firmly believe that the best way to watch this show is: Episodes 1-22 Episode 23b All of S;G 0 The rest of S;G This gives you a "chronological" view of the series, and in my opinion gives the original ending a more earned payoff
The real tragedy is the fact that Okabe is the only one that actually knows whether or not time travel is even real. (aside from Suzuha). All his friends have heard about all his exploits traveling through time and world lines and etc.. but none of them have ANY proof. So it's entirely possible that they all think he's just making the whole thing up and they are humoring him. Especially someone like Kurisu who didn't even believe time travel was possible to begin with.. She still isn't sure that he's not just lying the whole time. After all that.. they still have zero proof of any of it, till the time machine literally disappears. Though that's only proof it can disappear and not of anything more specific.
Depends if they even watch Steins;Gate 0, since its going to be a poll show and the fandom seems split on Steins;Gate 0 so it might not win the poll. But I hope the watch the OVA and the movie atleast.
@@Meerkat040 its great story, but they didn't do nearly as good a job at localizing it. You know, where you don't just dub it, but localize the dialog so it fits our understanding. And some of the lines are straight cringey, like I feel there was so much more effort in the original. And Deja Vu
technically no the movie and ova are not canon to the series, if you're looking at it from a steins gate - steins gate 0 continuity. But they are still good, but not essential to the viewing experience.
I'm pretty sure she said "sayonara" (goodbye) after she threw the bottle. I could be wrong but then again its not really something that's important to know.
@@rendytiro8115 Yes, I just didn't want to spoil anything for them, plus I don't think they thought so far ahead, when making this episode. Loved the movie, I hope they watch it some time in the future.

Weirdly enough, this scene plays out COMPLETELY IDENTICAL (no I'm not exaggerating) in Re Zero episode 18. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil the details of it, but suffice to say, I LITERALLY had the EXACT same experience with that episode that you had with this episode.
The majority of the episode is two main characters in the same spot just talking to each other and letting their hearts out. One contemplates about "running away" and the other gives one of THE BEST confessions in not just anime but any media. I can't even begin to describe the emotions running through me but it was the closest I gotten to crying without actually crying.
I put off Re Zero for 2 years until the first part of the dub came out and 6 more months for the second part after many delays, yet somehow not only did I remember everything vividly, I was invested from start to finish without losing my hype. The English dub was PHENOMENAL (thank you Sean Chiplock and Brianna Knickerbocker) throughout and especially for that episode and what gave it that extra nudge is the godly OST and the EP18 insert song. It's been such a long time since I felt the same adrenaline I had when I got into anime and I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST. It's a goddamn masterpiece I'll never forget.
It's kinda uncanny that we both had the same experience for different anime with the same episode made by the same studio. What is it with White Fox and time travel thriller masterpieces featuring an overly eccentric protagonist suffering trying to save everyone and his love triangle and having an entire episode dedicated to two characters talking? XD
@@gc2528 Clannad and Re: Zero . I've been wanting to try them for a year. I guess if they are as good as you all say I'll try them out fosho
Never had I cried more in front of a screen than watching this episode the first time. Second and thrid viewings were harsh too.
God damn I love this story, I want to force everyone of my friends to watch it x)
Where can I watch it?
@@sandeshpatil3785 Netflix is still airing it.
What Kurisu says just before leaving to the station is "Sayonara"
Best line of the series is in the next episode I'm so hyped
"I am the mad scientist, Hououin Kyouma, and the world is in the palm of my hand."
Except they're watching the dub and it won't have that line
Yekna yeah just watched the reaction on patreon:(
***Deception is my forte, let the world beware!***
this series gets me like every episode... loving it so hard
"I need you to prevent world war 3"
When I've first saw this, I was like: WHAAAAAAAA?!!?
Imagine as they were kissing they just hear "Aw... I just wound you..." and them every that immediately follows just ruins the moment.
This few episodes is when steins;Gate becomes from pretty good to modern classic
Ikr
Okabe's first kiss was Moeka but in a different timeline where they were fighting in the apartment.
movie gives much more intresting twist
If you guys want to find out about the "sand timeline" I'd take a look at steins gate 0. It brings it all together and to me enriches the story even more!
If you watch the first episode again once this is over everything will make sense
The cut off I love- hurts even more after knowing why she didn’t finish it.
11:50 dammit, aaron was about to cry, i feel you bro
This one and the next are gonna be painful to watch.
Yep, future me confirms, it gave me the ouchies, even in dub.
I am so tempted to just go to Patreon right now to watch it
By far my favourite Eps of the season. :0 Everything was just perfect.
The end is nigh, hope you guys continue with Steins Gate 0
would be fun to make them watch ep 23 beta and then watch steins gate 0 and only after finishing steins gate 0 could they watch episode 23 and on
Only if it wins its own poll
@@VikWax the masochist watchorder i see a man of culture
@@VikWax No
All that build up upto this ep 22 would have just got wasted. Release order is best order for first timers
@@VikWaxWhat you are suggesting is bad. When you do that in your first try, that would spoil the original anime series episode 23. That is why the release order is the best way to go.
"The scrawny body of a scientist with pudding for a brain"
Pudding brain?
PUDDING BRAIN?!
The Doctor would be proud XD
This show man, it gets me everytime. I can't fault it, even a little.
This opening song is my favorite wake-up alarm.
Hey man . I m also on 22 ep . I am confused . When should i watch the movie and the 23b the amternating ending episode . Please help
@@sawrub6374 don't watch 23 b now
You have to react to The Movie after you complete the series.
Not canon.
I extremely appreciate Aaron's reaction to this episode.
The way he holds it in, damn...
Nice to see they're back together in their studio
I wonder if they'll watch SG0 there's another perspective of the last scene.
Except that is not the same scene, since it happened on a different worldline. In this worldline, Kurisu didn't get any D-Mail, read Babel of the Grieved Maze manga if you don't believe it.
@@villadavid1997it's connected wether it's from different worldline
@@brobot550 No it is not. Kurisu didn't get any D-Mail in this worldline.
Connected in the means of scenario, not the worldline is what I mean hence different perspective
ua-cam.com/video/8aySM-EKBXQ/v-deo.html the side by side comparison
@@brobot550 No, it is not that worldline.
Firstly, how in this worldline Kurisu could get a D-Mail, which was sent in a LATTER worldline? A D-Mail ALWAYS comes from a PREVIOUS worldline, this is a fact.
Secondly, as I told you, Babel of the Grieved Maze manga takes place exactly in THIS worldline. That manga shows the events from Kurisu's point of view, and she didn't get anything.
Thirdly, this WL's div number is 0.571046, while that worldline in zero is 0.571082. So they are jot the same at all.
Eric's dancing was getting me a little hot under the collar.
Not gonna lie. This episode made me cry like a baby
Makise is my favorite character I would’ve picked her 10 million percent
Me after seeing them watched the post credit scene:
*Laughs in Mad Scientist*
Also me after Rick pointed out FB's connections later on in Beta WL with Okabe:
*Laughs in Steins Gate 0*
Please tell me that you're going to continue with the other stuff and Steins;Gate 0 after this season is over. I'll be very sad if it isn't continued.
From what iv read and heard, Steins;Gate 0 will be a polled show meaning the viewers will have to vote on it but considering SG0s reputation its doubtful to win.
@@Meerkat040 wdym steins gate 0 is pretty amazing.
Okabe's first kiss you ask? Revealed in the movie
22:00 you guys actually have seen it. It's with the shining finger that girl who was working for organization sern
But in the vn it was Mayuri when they where little, okabe did it as a prank
Btw don't forget the OVA.
i think she said sayonara
13:37 LOL that reaction tho
Amazing episode. And great dance, guys
"Muuuuuk" hahahaha Aaron
What a fantastic episode, and reaction!
12:59 Proves that Mayuri had Readin Steiner and this one was the Original
Hope they watch the Episode 25 OVA at the end
Kurisu : you are family
Next episode ending will be LEGENDARY
There are 2 versions of the next episode and the b version leeds in to steins gate 0 (the second season) that takes place between episode 23 and 24.
I hope you guys better watch it in this order:
Steins;Gate (24 episodes) -> Steins;Gate OVA (Egoistic Poriomania) -> Movie (Load Region of Déjà Vu),
then Steins;Gate Episode 23 β (Divide by Zero) -> Steins;Gate 0 -> Steins;Gate 0 OVA (Polymorphic Valentinus).
Take note: The movie isn't based on the visual novel, it was created originally by the anime staff to extend the story.
A watch order that isnt 23b then straight into zero then back to Steins;Gate? I must be dreaming..
(Am agreeing with u btw)
0:33 You did it you crazy son of a bitch
10:01 You don't need to know Japanese Rick. She said "sayonara".
After you guys finish Steins;Gate, watch episode 23b (alternate) and then you'll be set to watch Steins;Gate 0.
I firmly believe that the best way to watch this show is:
Episodes 1-22
Episode 23b
All of S;G 0
The rest of S;G
This gives you a "chronological" view of the series, and in my opinion gives the original ending a more earned payoff
Aaron's hungry joke there was pretty funny.
I was balling my eyes out the first time I watched this
Hey man . I m also on 22 ep . I am confused . When should i watch the movie and the 23b the amternating ending episode . Please help
His first kiss was with Shining Finger.
watch the movie
Something this anime never explains is how Makise works for SERN in the future. I have watched all of the OVAs and Movies and they never explain it
its explained in the visual novel, basically shes forced to do it out of her will to help create it
The real tragedy is the fact that Okabe is the only one that actually knows whether or not time travel is even real.
(aside from Suzuha). All his friends have heard about all his exploits traveling through time and world lines and etc.. but none of them have ANY proof.
So it's entirely possible that they all think he's just making the whole thing up and they are humoring him.
Especially someone like Kurisu who didn't even believe time travel was possible to begin with.. She still isn't sure that he's not just lying the whole time.
After all that.. they still have zero proof of any of it, till the time machine literally disappears. Though that's only proof it can disappear and not of anything more specific.
Okabe's first kiss was shiny finger.
watch the movie
It's all their own bloody fault for not asking The Doctor for help.
Kurisu is best tsun- tsun- tsundere.
PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE BEFORE STEINS,GATE 0
ALSO WATCH THE OVA FOR THIS BEFORE THE MOVIE AS WELL, ITS ALL CANON
Depends if they even watch Steins;Gate 0, since its going to be a poll show and the fandom seems split on Steins;Gate 0 so it might not win the poll. But I hope the watch the OVA and the movie atleast.
@@Meerkat040 its great story, but they didn't do nearly as good a job at localizing it. You know, where you don't just dub it, but localize the dialog so it fits our understanding. And some of the lines are straight cringey, like I feel there was so much more effort in the original. And Deja Vu
@@Rina_Jerjay yeah so much more effort went into the original. But eh I still liked it even if mayuri did annoy me a tiny bit.
technically no the movie and ova are not canon to the series, if you're looking at it from a steins gate - steins gate 0 continuity. But they are still good, but not essential to the viewing experience.
Kamikaze Briar Neither the OVA or the movie is canon, Steins Gate 0 is though.
This is the choice of steins gate!
haha...that reaction to WW3: "Shit..." xD
18:42 the movie explains that
One of my favorite subs and anime’s love that you guys watched this hope you check out the movie too!
I'm pretty sure she said "sayonara" (goodbye) after she threw the bottle. I could be wrong but then again its not really something that's important to know.
I think Okabe's first kiss might have been with "Shining Finger", when they fought and she bit his lip. Unless there was an other before that.
Have you seen the movie? Just saying
@@rendytiro8115 Yes, I just didn't want to spoil anything for them, plus I don't think they thought so far ahead, when making this episode. Loved the movie, I hope they watch it some time in the future.
In the VN it specifies it was Mayuri when they were kids. The movie isn't canon
@@gplthebeast caonnon or not, how much more powerfull this line of his would be, so i consider it cannon for the purpose of this moment in S;G
Actually it was with spoilers:
Christina
Okabe's first kiss is in the Steins'Gate movie. Not telling who gets it :)
he's first kiss is in the movie
Really hope they watch SG0 after this
10:02 good-bye
Ready for season 2
Episode 23 Coming up Next Week!
Ah. Next episode.
Depression followed by despair resulting in concrete resolve.
It's not that i cried or anything , just some dust in my eye.
ドクペを投げたあとにクリスが日本語で口パクしてたのは「さよなら sayonara=good bye」
2:02 Just in case you need it
Oh, it's this episode. Time to get the tissue T_T
Hands down, the best Anime ever created.
She didn't say "I love you." It was actually "El Psy Congroo."
