Instead you sat through watching Okabe be sad and people trying to cheer him up with slight plot nuances here and there that you saw coming a mile away. They don't delve into the plot until episode 20. It felt as if 5 people wrote it without talking with one another. The plot moved at a snail pace and the story didn't flow together at all. We knew how this ended before it began, so why did you put cliffhangers of character deaths in it? That's lazy writing. And the worst part is, the show made you think you're stupid and left EACH one of these things on a "cliffhanger". Everything you thought would happen, did happen. There are no twists or turns along the way. Steins Gate looked better, and that was 7 years ago. Each episode seemed to have a different "budget" - some episodes looked bad, others looked a lot better, etc. Overall, it was pretty lackluster and the amount of close-ups of people's faces started to become uncomfortable.
STEINS GATE ANIME ONLINE FREE SERIES
The series suffered a lot of realism with how poorly done every action shot was. The action scenes were abysmal and sadly they came towards the end of the series. They kept the same art style which was great and a plus, but the proportions were insanely ridiculous in certain scenes. They pick it up in the final 4 episodes, but even than it barely passes. Without a doubt one of the worst animations I've seen from an Anime that has done well world-wide. Why did they exist? Mommy/daughter scenes? And did I mention this was 21 EPISODES of a 23 EPISODE series? So now he's in a race to get back to the past to revert all the crap we had to painfully sit through. Every other sub-plot that tried to fit itself in is now over-shadowed by this. From there his entire perspective changes because he "didn't think it'd be like this even though he knew it'd be like this but didn't think about it". After more episodes, he's just thrown into the future and he says "oh wow, maybe I should have done something". After too many episodes, he says "maybe". World War 3 is imminent and they need to shift world lines to find "Steins Gate" but Okabe says "nope". There's no backstory and if there is it's as basic as it could get, it's just "This is them, and this is how they will always act." and they never deviate from that. They're all hollow characters that have no justification for their actions. I could break down each character, but this is what each of them are. She did not have enough character development prior to showing the sob story for you to even care. but she'sĪ cliffhanger for 4 episodes only to be overshadowed shortly after. Kagari is there to exist solely to look like Kurisu and make you feel bad. Her entire reasoning for existence is to love Okabe and that's it. Mayuri is nothing but a plot device who clings to Okabe for reasons unknown since she has no character development at all. Okabe is a one-dimensional depressed person whose only way of exuding emotion is through shocked expressions. My biggest gripe with the show is that no character delivers anything worth hearing in 20 episodes of the series.
Steins Gate 0 is a story following "Open the Missing Link" - episode 23B of Steins Gate. Dangerously tangled in the past, Okabe must face the harsh reality and carefully maneuver around the disastrous consequences that come with disturbing the natural flow of time.

Later turns out to be the interpreter at the forum's presentation, conducted by Professor Alexis Leskinen.
