*This review contains spoilers along with my own opinion bias, read at your own risk, and I really mean it when there's HEAVY SPOILERS for at least the first watcher.* Thank you for reading my review, and as always, feel free to leave a reply on my profile if you liked or hated it and need to tell me why. This is a wonderful "prequel" episode to the events that are about to unfold and I, personally, can't wait to see what comes next. His development is masterfully portrayed.Īfter watching this episode I am even more excited about Steins Gate 0 than I already was, and that's all a special really is, isn't it? A way of putting out something for people to see and get excited about. This is something the Okabe of the original series wouldn't have done. I could be wrong, but the phone call Okabe had sounded like he was either going on a date, or meeting up with some friends to eat or go to a movie. We could see at the end how Okabe is now a college student, he's accepting adult responsibilities, dressing in a more conventionally appropriate way, and he even remarked that he's socializing. Obviously having previous knowledge about his character helped our foundation, but we could see before our eyes him mentally snapping. I thought that the mini-development Okabe went through in this episode is terrific. I understand completely that Steins Gate 0 will look relatively different (it'll be 1080p, have the look of the VN, and will obviously be better funded) and I have no problem with that, but it was really nice that they stuck with what they did in the original series in this one. I appreciate that they didn't update the look and instead it felt like a alternate version rather than an addition. I honestly enjoyed the throwback with the art and animation. Who do you choose to let die? Your childhood friend who has become part of your identity? Or the To me, it was like the creators were afraid of leaving it as a tragedy for fear the fans wouldn't like Kurisu actually dying as if to discard the entire point of the series itself: The choice. One of my only complaints with the original series is how they had to have episode 24 and how it felt like they undermined the tragedy in the story to give everyone a happy ending.
