kwesib-32179 Review of Steins;Gate 0

Steins;Gate 0 (2018)

Could have promised this was 8.7 in another timeline.

[10/10 · 8 October 2020]

0 as a sequel traded in something of the original and gained something else new to the whole franchise. The original steins gate was undoubtedly funnier. This one has more action and is a bit more depressing. One thing about the sequel is that the first part will be a bit troubling for the hardcore fans of the original steins gate as it felt a little bit disappointing. The earlier plot twists were predictable. There is less comedy and some of the drama are nonsense. I believe some of the early episodes were even filler. However, that is our mistake; steins gate isn't about the plot twists, is about the suffering that comes with time travel. The second part of steins gate 0 was so thrilling and intense that it rivals and even surpasses the original steins gate. It ended so great and of high satisfactory. Never have I loved Okabe Rintarou more. Upon returning to his mad scientist delusional fantasy, never had I felt so nostalgic. In all, Steins; gate 0 is a perfect ending for the original but it takes a little sacrifice. Go through the below par first half and enjoy the undoubtedly 10/10 second half.
