Wow that sounds really interesting!! Genuinely sad this isn't expanded on more in the anime. Would have loved to see the questioning tricking them into revealing they have the Reading Steiner, that would have been mind blowing!

2025-02-03 05:08:22 +0000 UTCYes it did feel very weird that they were building up her character for it to amount to almost nothing.

2025-02-03 05:04:33 +0000 UTCYeah, to George's point about lyrics and theming, I do think that Steins;Gate leans much more into the supplemental side of OP/ED. To not have them *really* does detract from the experience imo. I know the lyrics versions exist, so hopefully in the future that can come through more. Truly though, I think a 7 is about right. They're not like transformative or anything, but they set the mood, and I think the poeticism that shines through in the show at times also shows up in the lyrics a bit. So yeah, neat and enhancing, but nothing to write home about. Edit: Just in case any other peeps out there are interested, user "Neobrane" on YouTube has uploaded versions of the OPs and EDs from Steins Gate with subtitles in the closed captions.

2025-01-31 14:33:05 +0000 UTCAbout additional Steins;Gate content: There is a light hearted, interesting and relatively short OVA Episode “EP25: Egoistic Poriomania”. I think George mentioned in one of the last episodes that he would like to see a “sneak peek” - or something along those lines - of the Steins Gate worldline. EP25 is that (kind of). I think the Ending of Steins;Gate Season 1 is intentionally kept vague with Okabe meeting Kurisu in front of the radio Kaikan, giving her the Lab member badge and the talking about the “infinit possibilities of the future”. But EP25 is worth it for that small glimpse into the Steins Gate worldline. Maybe it’s not worth a full reaction video, and I don’t really know if it is canon or not. Just a small hint to George if he still wants to know a bit more about the achieved Steins Gate future.

2025-01-31 14:26:25 +0000 UTCReyes also had a bigger role in one of the main routes. There are two main routes that Steins Gate 0 has, each with a focus on Reyes or Leskenin as the central antagonist to take down. A shame that her relevance to the plot was tragically severly cut down to a nothing character.

2025-01-31 12:28:23 +0000 UTCThe friend who passed out at the same time as Okabe has a slightly bigger role that is explored alot more in the visual novel. Turns out she is someone who also has Reading Steiner. Not to the same degree as Okabe, but she did have a moment of remembering witnessing Mayuri dying. If you remember that quick flash of Okabe being in a war torn wasteland in Episode 4 I think it was, with Okabe being escorted to safety by soldiers. That was also an expanded scene in the visual novel. There was a very tense scene in a military truck of an American soldier interrogating Okabe, the friend and Yuki (Daru's future wife) with some history questions to catch them out as people with Reading Steiner, due to having memories of things being different. Anyway back to the friend, forgot her name. Turns out the hospital she was in, was an American research facility. The friend along with other people were being hospitized for sharing similar symptoms of fainting, sickness and memory distortion. Basically a hospital camp of people with symptoms of Reading Steiner unknowingly being used for experimentation.
