        kek yeah, that's a pretty good way to put it. Honestly, as much as I fricking love S;G, at a certain point having played all the Sci;Adv shit you come to realize Chiyomaru is a fricking HACK and he just got really lucky one time is all.

                It's fricking moronic and goofy. It's basically just an attempt to cash in on the original's popularity. The character writing is so much worse, yet they try to fit as many of them as possible into every scene because "membur how much you love them?". I don't really have time to go very deep into it but digibro (>inb4) has a good series of videos that get the point across pretty well

                -story didn't need to be told, instead of interesting World Lines or Valkyrie's story, we got this shit which was mostly hinted at in S;G already
                -Kagari red herring garbage, including taking Kurisu's place in the shota Okabe kissu
                -AMADEUS trash just to have the waifu in the game still
                -Okabe is a sad sack all game and thus is not entertaining any more

                Figures. Another thing about 0 is that the Kurisu version of that story from the audio dramas is 1000000% times better. I don't even like female MC shit and I would've read that as a VN in a heartbeat.

                0 should've been a VN of Hyde of the Dark Dimension, though.

                Oh and not to mention it's not necessary to understand the story of the original at all. In fact it was better when they didn't explicitly show the postwar scenario and just left it as a vague narrative device because seeing anime girls going Terminator 2 is beyond moronic

                You mean those 4 videos where he just cries and b***hes about the heavy tone and the lack of redheaded genius girl waifu, where he asks the dumbest shit like why there's no dystopia in future scenes when CLEARLY the anime lays out to you several times that the story is set in the WWIII timeline and goes on to tell the original writers how to write his pretentious ideal of what S;G should be? If you're gonna do a half-assed viewing then don't come here spouting your half-assed complaints. Also form your own opinion instead of relying on washed out internet microcelebs homosexual.

If you actually think his take on what 0 should have been is "pretentious" then you're either moronic or just didn't watch the videos. If anything 0 itself is up its own ass completely while having none of the substance of the original to justify it. Quope and squeathe pedo.

                Are you dumb? The point is that the original stands well enough on its own and 0 is a soulless cash grab. "That guy's story" was already covered in the original, and was conceived only as a narrative device to support the main plot. Thinking about what it might actually look like for even one second should be enough to convince you that it's better ofd left unexplored. If you want to tell that story then you'd better have a really good reason to, and 0 didn't. You gain no new insight into the SG world other than how awkward and out of place out-of-shape otakus look in the middle of a fricking war zone. Oh and let's not forget the shoehorned new character whose only reason for existing is to be pedobait and whose only character trait is feeling inferior to everyone's favorite waifu, lol.

                "That guy's story" was not covered in the original, what the frick are you talking about? The future mail is a shameless deus ex machina. I'll agree that 0 wasn't really necessary but it's not detrimental to the story at all, quite the opposite. Learning what "that guy" went through enhances the ending of the OG hundredfold. It's crazy how people complain about asspulls all the time yet everyone takes one of the biggest asspulls in anime history for granted.

                A broken clock is right twice a day. Regardless, it's not much of a narrative accomplishment for the writers to have realized that Mayuri would be sad about her friend's change in behavior.

                The *implication* of what happened is what's important. All that timeline is supposed to represent are the consequences of giving up too soon, but the simultaneous realization that it's never too late. There was never any need to expand on it any further, and 0 proves it. Even IT can't help but draw constant comparisons/make constant references to the original, because they knew there wasn't enough material to put together an entirely new story with it. It's completely soulless and doesn't even come close to having the emotional impact that the original did. It might as well have been an officially licensed fanfiction.

                ???? Fricking how? It's literally integral to the main theme of the story. If you want to demystify what WW3 Okabe went through in an attempt to explain how he eventually figured it all out how does shoehorning in moronic shit like the robot waifu and the pedobait scientist (that we're supposed to grow attached to despite the fact that premise of the show requires that in the ideal scenario she will never come into contact with any of the main cast anyway) accomplish that? Does seeing Okabe be sad while all the characters get together for corny Christmas parties somehow help illuminate his struggle further? Was the time travel PTSD shit he went through in the main show not enough for us to grasp how shitty he would feel for the rest of his life?

              To elaborate on this, you're supposed to read 0 and then watch the final episode of the anime afterwards. The actual 0 adaption part of the anime is trash and the ending is the only good thing about it.

              Also while on the topic I'm curious if the experience of "Read S;G all the way before the ending, read 0 when he fricks up, then go back and finish S;G" would be good

                The ending isn't the MWC route, the entire anime is the MWC route. It's told from the POV of a single Okabe. in the 0 vn every ending is experienced by a different Okabe. Basically, anime Okabe is the final Okabe and all the previous routes failed or just became stepping stones for what comes after (like the deceive the world D-MAIL)
                Also you'll miss out on some good kino like extended Antinomic Dual (episode 8) and Arc Light of the point at infinity (episode 16-17) which is a pre-0 side material not included in the vn at all so I'd advise against skipping the anime.

                I probably entirely missed that but I don't think it was a good execution of the idea/content anyways. 0 is shaped very much like a "Y" with two branching paths and the way the anime adapted it was like an "S" that constantly bounced between the two.

      0 is fine if you don't consider it as a sequel, but more of a spin-off. Maho is a good character too, and she fits in with the series more than other side characters.

      Don't watch the anime though it merges different timeline into 1 and it makes no sense at all.
