2023-09-25 22:33:56 +0000 UTCShut up. If this were addressed in the anime at all, I would have let it be, but it wasn't. If you've playedthe VN at all, you'd know this wasn't an issue.

2023-09-25 16:35:07 +0000 UTCIt barely works for the basics, but they had to do a lot of shuffling around, to be sure.

2023-09-25 14:02:40 +0000 UTCThe anime didn't really stand a chance. 0's story just doesn't work well linearly. The novel makes perfect use of the VN mechanics. The anime is still a pretty good complement though, it's a nice watch and it fills in a lot of the gaps. 0 does treat the characters much better in my opinion though.

2023-09-25 12:34:41 +0000 UTCThe Visual Novel is so much better than the Anime in SG;0's case and it's not even close.

2023-09-25 08:53:05 +0000 UTCThis is something that the anime never addresses, but that worldline switch in the beginning was very real. Someone is switching worldlines without direct intervention from Okabe again. In the visual novel, there was a trigger that sent him to another worldline. He spends months there, actually, in the middle of a japan wide war. That they didn't include his time in that worldline is a thing that pissed me off at the time, because it was a very interesting segment.

2023-09-25 05:37:40 +0000 UTCAn especially great discussion!!! Anna, don't be worried about your swimming thoughts pre-reaction (mine are swimming too, and I'm even re-watching this). You were absolutely on point noticing the (potentially) subtle changes in Maho's behavior and even down to the details on Mayuri's eyebrows and what that could imply haha. You both even expressed how the writing is so good that you don't even know if you're being gaslighted by the show or not; as you mentioned, Maho's behavior could just be putting on a front in the presence of Dr. Leskinen and is further exploring the side of her character that borders on jealousy of Okabe in wanting to know more about who Kurisu was. Or, was there really a world line change and a different sequence of events and thoughts? Both are plausible. Ben proposing some great yet terrifying theories and you both deftly talked through some implications that could follow down some of those paths. Can't wait for more! <3
