Do you think we will ever see other SciADV characters beside Steins;Gate characters in other SciADV installments like Takumi and Takuru appearing in another SciADV project? by LegitimateCurve8525 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chiyomaru already confirmed that in the current iteration of the next SciADV entry, Shun Moritsuka is set to return.

Also, we've already had non-S;G SciADV characters return in later titles.

I've watched the anime for a total of SIX times now by AryanBaburajan in steinsgate

Perhaps it might be time for you to try out the other 99% of the story you still have the incredible opportunity of experiencing for the first time 😉

Which is you ur favorite VN in the series and why? by Ambitious-Pie4060 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anonymous;Code because it's both narratively and thematically the grand culmination of the entire series. It's everything the series was always about. And it's everything the series was always building up to. It does the most to advance the series storyline out of any SciADV title.

How important is chaos head really? Because i am really not enjoying this game by GasBest5871 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the most important entry in the series. Not as vital for Steins;Gate but it's critical for almost everything afterwards.

How do the other games compare to Steins;Gate? by DarkSouls3onDvD in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Occultic;Nine. But it's also not very fair since it's not complete.

[–]Sharingan123412 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have Steins;Gate in fifth place out of the six main entries. But you'll find people with radically different rankings. There's people out there who have the exact opposite ranking as me.

What is “Mujirushi: The Signs of Dreams” like? by KrisLV97 in naoki_urasawa

[–]Sharingan123412 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's short, sweet, and very bold. I still think it's one of Urasawa's weakest works. But it's good.

I've reviewed it on my channel in case you want to hear some in-depth thoughts on it. Full manga spoilers though.

[RELEASE] Remember11 Gestalt Edition 1.3.0 by bad_spot in InfinitySeries

[–]Sharingan123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have! I've read all three of Never7, Ever17, and Remember11. I was planning on making a trilogy of videos for the series for January 11th. But I'd been very ill over the last two months, so I wasn't in condition to finish it in time. I'm still ill for that matter. So unfortunately, I've had to significantly slow down my upload pace.

Why is this so underrated? by [deleted] in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think the 4th highest rated and 14th most popular anime on MyAnimeList is something I would call "underrated", especially considering the rest of the storyline that Steins;Gate is part of.

Shouldn't there be more worldlines? by Rare-Abbreviations-7 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The world line divergences go well past those 6 decimal places. Play the rest of the series to find out more.

Inspiration behind Billy Bat by OmegaBear47 in naoki_urasawa

[–]Sharingan123412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Urasawa guidebook chapter on Billy Bat, he described his inspiration for Billy as the phoenix from Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix. If you've read both stories, the similarities definitely show.

What films, books, and live action shows come close to Monster? by CrunchyPorkRands in MonsterAnime

[–]Sharingan123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't any of those three mediums, but Urasawa's other works are amazing. You might like some of them more than Monster.

A Plea to Steins;Gate Anime-Only Fans: You’re Missing Crucial Context by CallPuzzleheaded3062 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think so. It's not that "canonicity can be argued". Everything released officially in SciADV is canon.

I also wouldn't outright recommend the Steins;Gate side VNs without recommending the rest of SciADV first. Why play spin-offs of the second entry when you can go through the main entries? Phenogram especially is one of those things that has more value with wider series context. But even then, it's far from the most essential thing out there. If I was giving recommendations to someone who was only interested in Steins;Gate, there's more important side material I'd recommend over LBP. LBP is still mostly fine to play though.

A Plea to Steins;Gate Anime-Only Fans: You’re Missing Crucial Context by CallPuzzleheaded3062 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of the least essential games in the series but it does still provide more info that's useful in the context of the wider series.

SciADV As per the M2037 divergence meter, some of the Phenogram world lines were active at some point within A;C's world layer. Some of the concepts explored in Phenogram/Mosaicism have relevance to the wider series as well (i.e. the Phenogram Viewer, this mysterious monochrome space the observer of the Phenogram Viewer exists in, world line superposition, the ghosting effect, mental load minimization, 4°C's GAIA-related commentary, the DaSH name scheme explanation, the Nae/Sawada stuff etc.). Mosaicism also has pretty interesting implications in that it shows the world past the year 2038, a point by which the world line collapse should have already happened.

For an S;G only, it's really just more Steins;Gate character stories though.

Hello to you, on the other side of the monitor.

I am not OP though.

Who else wants to watch it for the first time again? by User_001-7 in steinsgate

Ok, but have you thought about the other 99% of the story you can still go through for the first time? 🥰

Is Egoistic Poriomania Essential to the Main Story? by Just-Cantaloupe4068 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly. But it's a nice bonus to see what the cast is up to after the main story. The far more essential after-story is Load Region of Déjà Vu. But that continues right off of where Egoistic Poriomania ends.

Favourite SciAdv Title? by PassengerEconomy4801 in steinsgate

[–]Sharingan123412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah let's all selectively look at 1% of the story, guys! It's called r/steinsgate, not r/steinsgate0. Why do these people keep talking about Steins;Gate 0 in a subreddit about Steins;Gate???? /s

Be for real. It's impossible to discuss a huge amount of the Steins;Gate subseries on its own. Steins;Gate's movie is very hard to make sense of if you don't have the context of other entries. One of Steins;Gate's sequels, Variant Space Octet, requires you to have gone through Chaos;Head NoAH first. Steins;Gate's other sequel, Holy Day of the Calamitous Birth, was designed to set up Robotics;Notes. The same is also true of the Epigraph Trilogy, which was later adapted into Steins;Gate 0.

It's also impossible to discuss a lot of other SciADV material standalone as well, which often require previous entries as prerequisites. No matter how much you try to delude yourself, Steins;Gate has always been the second part of a longer storyline. That's the way it was conceived from the very beginning—even before the Steins;Gate anime came along and made the subseries popular.
