>sequel of a finished story >manages to be good literally how?

It answers the lingering question of "what happened to the okabe that sent the message?". The story was finished, but this still fits in without unnecessarily expanding it.

Will they make an anime?

>>157542382

It's been announced. No date yet though. I'd imagine fall 2017, since summer's almost here and nothing's been said yet, but who knows. Could be summer, could even be winter or beyond.

Better not be 1-cour though. Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child anime were mistakes.

>manages to be good

Maho Hiyajo. The best girl in the entire series.

It wasn't that good though.

>>157539765
>>sequel

>>157544607
spin-off

>>157539765
Just wait until the anime is butchered and can only cover half of what is told, either not telling some endings, going through scenes fast as fuck, skipping some or various of those options mixed. S;G anime already had some scenes removed and it was around half the length of S;G 0 (obviously removing a lot of Okabe thoughts, but that tends to happen in anime adaptations).

I mean, certainly there are ways to make the story tell the important parts of each ending while going through them all, and they could skip the irrelevant scenes while shortening dialogue to show everything important. We can always believe.

>>157539765
Are you kidding? It was fucking shit other than Maho and memes.

Far looser use of time travel, which made it lose the tight structure that made the original great, and the feeling of everything "clicking together". Ultimately felt pointless, combined with low budget CGs and mostly re-used soundtrack.

>>157545484

The original anime was pretty fantastic despite all of that though. The VN is 10x better, but still, the anime adaption is pretty great. I'm not really upset about it not adapting all of the endings, but it definitely would've been cool if they made a several different versions of the specific episodes, like with the beta episode, for each ending.

Anyway, actual point of this post is my idea of how they should do the anime. It should be 2-cour, obviously, with each cour doing one path of the VN, which seems pretty simple. None of the side endings, sadly, but I think if they just do one path for each cour, it'd be fine.

>>157545761

>It was fucking shit other than Maho and memes.

Yeah, basically. Actually, your entire post is pretty much entirely correct.

I'm really hoping for the anime adaption to be amazing and be better than the VN somehow. At the very least, watching an animated Maho be smart and cute will be its saving grace, right?

>>157545920
Yeah I didn't mean it in a bad way, I still think S;G anime is pretty good, but I mentioned it to compare how S;G already didn't have all of the scenes, and S;G 0 is way longer so it will be harder to adapt.

As for how to do S;G 0 anime, I thought in a way with someone else, it was very detailed but summarized it would be going TA -> RMG -> PR -> GS -> V&A. It would change a bit of each ending so they could follow the order, then in PR they can just take advantage of the D-RINE, which also would allow for those few seconds in which he receives it. After that, they can just go through what's left changing a bit too, and finally reach True Ending. There are some scenes which happen twice so you can remove those, you could shorten dialogue to the very essential and remove things like Yuki's stupid red herrings. With that and not having thoughts other than the most important ones (like S;G and usually a lot of other anime adaptations) it would be doable, but even then you have to consider the amount of time spent for each scene, and you would have to miss a lot of dialogue in some way or another unless they went full O;N Ep 1, which would kill the mood specially for this series.

C;C is being translated this year (you can trust this anon).

If we support C;C enough, we will most likely get more SciADV translations, since let's be honest, Chiyo only sees overseas fans as dirty gaijins with money.

There's also hope for another main title translation depending on how much C;C is supported, but that's as much as I can say.

That sounds a bit intense. I just don't see them adapting every route/ending though, since, like you said, it's longer than the original. It would be nice if they adapted Maho's ending though, but maybe that's just me wanting more Maho.

>>157546754

>But it did emotion better

I have to disagree with this, which ties into the non-linearity of it. Because of Steins;Gate being a straight path from start to finish all of the endings have more impact, I feel, because you've had all of this previous stuff build up to this moment.

With Steins;Gate 0, it's all four short intermissions and two main paths with less build up. There's also less impact due to it being an interquel. I feel like I'm explaining this poorly or even in the wrong way, but I hope that makes sense. There's just not as much weight to a lot of the emotional moments in Steins;Gate 0, I felt. There definitely were some great scenes, but a lot of them fell flat for me.

What other finished story would you want a sequel to, /a/?

>>157539765
Because it isn't really a sequel, it's just expanding on the Okabe that sends the D-Mail back.

>>157539765
It's more of an interquel than a prequel or a sequel, it also had the same writing department and a bloody good OST with some pretty dope and hype moments with great build up
Still, no topping the "Nice to meet you, me from 15 years ago" scene, even with all those crazy shit ones like suddenly, WW3 in the middle of Jesus birth or welcome to 2036, lad
Both Kyouma awakenings where really good too

Needed much more Amadeus Kurisu, many more navel-gazing philosophical conversations about whether she's actually Kurisu, and far, far less of Kagari. Also, Natsuki/Fubuki/whatever the fuck her name was should've had a larger role in the plot.

Still a damn good sequel-interquel-thing, though. Please let them not fuck up the anime.

This was not a good thing. In the original they just introduced Kurisu as a genius girl and you went along with it because it was part of the premise, but in 0 they thought it would be a good idea to introduce a character who had to overcome an inferiority complex over Kurisu. Her "development" in Zero fell really flat because they just couldn't show Kurisu actually being a genius at any point besides saying she was doing really important shit. There were actual moments in the script where she said something really tepid and had Maho would respond "wow, that's why you're a genius senpai"

I kinda hated Kurisu at the end of zero

>>157547819
I feel like the opposite is true for me. S;G's endings were just off-shoots from the main story, wherever you chose to give up; while I loved every one, some feel like routes for the sake of routes. It would have been perfectly fine to exclude Faris and Rukako's routes.
With 0, each timeline is its own hell, showing a lot more variety in each character. For me at least, the way things unfolded felt like a continuation of S;G, rather than shorter independent stories, compounding like you feel S;G did.

>>157554440
Zero retconned his fate, he tricked everyone that he died in 2025. This is how he found out how to save Kurisu.

>>157554895
>they just couldn't show Kurisu actually being a genius
Confirmed to have never read the original VN

>>157555022

>some feel like routes for the sake of routes.

I agree with that, for sure. I do like the idea of Faris' route though. The ending, I mean. The idea of being with the same friends, but with all their memories being different and Okabe taking the place of a different Okabe. It's some fringe horror stuff.

Anyway, I think all the mysteries and shorter length of the side-routes left me too confused at some points because of it being my first playthrough of it, so maybe a second, third, etc. playthrough might allow me to enjoy the story, characters, and individual routes more, since my mind wouldn't have to be focusing on all the mysteries and such. I know I usually notice a new thing or two every time I re-experience the original VN or anime.

But I really do like the way the original's route just builds up over 11 chapters to finally culminate to that ending. I could also try on my replay of Steins;Gate 0 to just do the two major routes first and then the side routes. That might give me a better experience as well.

Didn't like Zero at all aside from Maho and some of the stuff around Suzuha, thought the execution of most things was trash. I'm fine with fleshing Daru out more but so much of the story was padded out with Daru & Suzuha just doing the same thing over and over again, it got old quick which is a problem considering it's one of the main parts of the story. Okabe suffering trauma and so on was a nice idea too, marred by poor execution too since it basically just amounted to everyone yelling at him (not even for the correct reason either, why did characters keep complaining that he was whiny when he was literally the only one not whining at all, him keeping everything to himself being the actual problem even?). Half the cast was pretty much irrelevant and every other character outside of Maho was only memorable for any memes about them. The ending required a drama CD just to clarify it ontop of still basically just being a "uhh go refer to the first VN I guess we'll just leave it at that without any sense of conclusion even thematically..."

I can understand praise for it being more ambitious but I can't take anyone who says that it's better than the original seriously to be honest, it's a hot mess with some great moments which are the only parts of it that anyone ever talks about but mostly shit parts that people just ignore.

>>157539765
The S;G media it was based on are better than it. It's main girl essentially just being Kurisu but with more interesting characterization and the tsundere shit dropped is it's one saving grace.

>>157555362

Could you actually record the entirety of a human's memories, then compress that data through a black hole, and send it through a phone call? I don't want to even get into if the equipment Okabe & crew had available would be able to do it, but would it actually be possible? I also won't bother with the time travel aspect, either.

Could the data really be sent through phone call? Upon answering, how would it send the data into the person's mind?

>Could you actually record the entirety of a human's memories
Digitizing the entirety of a human's memory cortex is not fundamentally impossible, but we'd need to know more about how memory is actually encoded in neural cells. Kurisu's abilities are far beyond actual neuroscience for plot's sake.
>then compress that data through a black hole
No, that part makes no sense whatsoever. Black holes crush space, but data transfer is a stream of 0s and 1s. Crushing the physical volume of the data stream does not change the content of the data stream.. it's nonsense. Also, a black hole would mangle the data beyond repair. Also also, you can't retrieve data from a black hole, or else it wouldn't be a black hole.
>and send it through a phone call?
As we've already impossibly shrunk the data size, sending it through a phone call is perfectly fine. How the data decompresses and injects itself into someone's brain through a phone's speaker, however, is beyond any comprehension and is basically magic.
>I also won't bother with the time travel aspect, either.
I will. They touch on an accurate bit of science there, "Kerr" black holes (rotating uncharged axially-symmetric black holes with spherical event horizons in accordance with the Kerr metric) could hypothetically create closed timelike curves within the Kerr vacuum space they create. This can in fact result in backwards motion through time, though it creates a temporal freefall where the object's future becomes its past, and thus loops itself backwards in time continuously. Closed timelike curves are closed, after all, and an open timelike curve is impossible.

>>157564684
>but how realistic was it actually?
It wasn't realistic at all.

>Could you actually record the entirety of a human's memories, then compress that data through a black hole

No, that's not how black holes work. If you put something into a black hole all that is going to happen is you are going to squish that physical data to a point where there is no space between data. This is not compression measurable in bits like they did in Steins;Gate, that is basically irrelevant. Also there is no physics to suggest there would be anyway for it to come out as anything but radiation, and the explanation for that has to do with a ton of particles coming into existence and some falling into the black hole at negative energy eating the black hole away and making it disappear. As to how this does not violate the black hole information paradox is beyond me.


Steins;Gate is science fiction however and based off some pretty cool stuff. Kerr black holes are real, just don't expect it to be anything like S;G.

>How did it get back into their mind

Electromagnetic waves.

>>157564961

>but we'd need to know more about how memory is actually encoded in neural cells

Just as an aside, but we do actually know how memory is encoded in hippocampal cells, specifically in region CA3 which is where the majority of memory storage occurs. We know how memories come to be marked on cells, how they are solidified in the form of long term memory, and what keeps them in that form.

>>157564803
Blick looks like some random SEAfag

>>157565058
That doesn't tell us all the information or even close to all the information we need to digitize memories though.

>>157564961
Actually, a lot of Kurisu's knowledge comes from the study of Amadeus, she didn't just randomly think it up.

>Black holes crush space,
Black holes do not crush space.

> Also, a black hole would mangle the data beyond repair.

To add to this, anything sent in a black hole is going to be ripped apart and turned into worthless shit because the entire reason a black hole is a black hole is because of the massive distortion of space time around it. It would be impossible to send a message in and get it back in a meaningful way.

>How the data decompresses and injects itself into someone's brain through a phone's speaker, however, is beyond any comprehension and is basically magic.

I'm trying to recall but I feel like it was some effect that happened based off of a physical object that existed, that was obviously not real science because SERN doesn't make black holes but the idea was something like that was the routing mechanism.

>>157565193

What sort of information would we need to digitize memories on the hardware side then? I'll admit that my understanding is more on the neuroscience side than the electronic one. I do know that rudimentary neural networks have been constructed that can imitate some of the processes the brain uses, but that the primary limitation seems to be the massive amount of parallel processing the brain can do which current processors can't?

>>157565193
>Black holes do not crush space.
Okay fine the extreme mass over miniscule (nonexistent) volume characteristic of a black hole crushes space.

>>157565316
>>157565316
>I do know that rudimentary neural networks have been constructed that can imitate some of the processes the brain uses

I make neural networks, it's not what you are thinking. It's based off how a brain "works" but in practice they are not similar at all, and they would not serve to simulate the human brain as they are. They are extremely useful though.

>What sort of information would we need to digitize memories on the hardware side then?

We need to know how the information is represented. There is no way for us to digitally represent an actual neuron. "Neurons" in a neural network are not neurons. They are a mathematical abstraction. There is no way right now to digitize something as complex as a neuron, so we abstract it. If we are dealing with abstractions, we then need to understand how the data is represented in order to digitize it.

For example how would you represent the memory you have of reading this post as 0's and 1's? The ideas we have for what these things are are just representations, they are not actually what they are. From an engineering standpoint, if we don't know what they actually are, and not just a good deal about them, we have no way to store them digitally and use that information in a meaningful context.

Of course if you can figure it out, then you can interlope information and do things like play a persons memory on a TV, because if you understand how the memories are stored from a computer science standpoint then this type of translation should be simple.

I'm saying that saying a black hole crushes space is misleading. A black hole curves space-time, but EVERY massive object does to. A black hole is doing what everything else is doing, it's just so massive that it does it more.

>>157539765

Both are wrong though.

>>157565633
Obviously everything with mass bends space to a degree, but would you say having a feather on your head is crushing you? Something something heap paradox.

>>157565707
Yeah, but being in a black hole would pull you apart before anything akin to "crushing" happened so would you say ripping something apart is crushing it?

>>157565737
The point being that space is knotted in black holes where it isn't knotted elsewhere. Stars cause a big ol' divot in spacetime but past an event horizon you have every physical path pointing towards the singularity.

>>157565768
Yeah, but that's a distortion. Nothing is crushed. I just think using the wrong terms to describe these things misleads people on what is happening so they get the wrong idea.

It's just an intensive qualifier for a layman to get the gist. It doesn't have to be some kind of thing.

The point, that being in an incredible gravity well reduces volume as a distortion of space, but physical volume doesn't matter a dang lick as to data stream capacity.

She is a modern human being of reasonable intelligence who regularly uses the internet.
She knows sex and eroticism. Of S;G's entire female cast either she or Faris would be the ones to know the most about sex. Mayuri is probably aware but willfully oblivious, Lukako is a shrine maiden, Moeka doesn't know a damn thing about anything and Suzuha doesn't have time for love in a future embroiled in war/dominated by emotionless suppression of human behavior.

>>157566148

Not the same anon here, but as he even mentioned in another post, we're talking about digitizing it, so you can't simply copy it over. You need to convert it to 1s and 0s, which works very differently than the analogue system. And for modeling it in a digital fashion, you have to come pretty fucking close to understanding how it works.

For once in my life I didn't bother browsing the chans while finishing S;G and S;G 0 both, so i'm pretty damn suprised to see all the Maho fans.
I played the two games with only a couple of pause in-between so maybe that warped my impression, but besides her great introduction-scenes, she didn't particularly strike me as an interesting and endearing character. Even the loli angle is too stereotypically annoying to me.
Granted, I was biased against her, since she felt like a substitute-waifu for Kurisu, but I really want to know what people like about her.

>she felt like a substitute-waifu for Kurisu

Funny because if you re ad that the other way it can be read that is also true.

Personally after having played both games I can say that if I hadn't been introduced to Kurisu first and went through all I went through with her before Maho was introduced there is a strong chance I would have liked Maho more, but my strong feelings for Kurisu mean that I like Kurisu more.

I would imagine people who didn't like Kurisu as much would prefer Maho. Maho and Kurisu don't actually have overlapping personalities. They are their own distinct people and only intellectually and technically as part of the keikaku does Maho serve as a surrogate for Kurisu, which she doesn't like.

I really like Maho because I feel like I can relate to her, and I think how she handled the circumstances that were given to her demonstrated she is a beautiful person on the inside.

568KB, 900x835px

>>157567079
Calling her a substitute is pretty unfair. Maho is a similar, yet totally distinct character with her own set of issues to work through. Where Kurisu struggles with a lack of paternal affection and the isolation that extreme success brings, Maho is trying to manage the revelation that she isn't as talented and intelligent as she thought she was. They're both similar enough to both plausibly become friends and work in academia on the same project, yet they also differ enough to generate dissonance, misunderstanding and misinterpretation. A lot anons can relate very deeply to the both of them.

Also Maho is cute and sexy.

>>157567258
Furthermore, the person Maho could relate to the most was also the person responsible for giving them an inferiority complex, and that person was not dis-likable in any way so she had no outlet for her dissatisfaction but inward. Despite all that, she never took it out on Kurisu and still cared for her. It takes a strong person to feel that way about someone whose existence essentially invalidates your ability to properly pursue your dreams.

>>157567258
Yea I honestly didn't mean to shit on her character, it's just how it felt to me a couple of days after finishing S;G and having to continue a Kurisu-less storyline
>Maho is trying to manage the revelation that she isn't as talented and intelligent as she thought she was.
I'm actually a slight ashamed that this part of her story didn't really reach me, even though that's a pretty fucking relevant part of my life lately.

>>157567245
I agree with that, if i got introduced to Maho the reclusive regular-smart girl first, I'd probably prefer her, and not care much about the tsundere genius Kurisu.

>>157567258
>>157567299
That's a damn good explanation, thanks, anon.
For some reason, her story just didn't register in my brain like that, even though it sounds great in retrospect.

>>157567299
Both of them are strong, smart young women with beautiful souls. I can honestly say that like >>157567245, if I hadn't encountered Kurisu years before I did Maho and read both VNs in one go, I would find it very difficult to pick one over the other.

>>157567402
I read them both in one go, and that's why Maho felt like she was a substitute. Because Kurisu was suddenly gone, and there was this new girl in my face while I was searching for traces of Kurisu.

>>157567258
Maho has a mental fortitude about her that I really do admire, since she's willing to keep fighting against that crushing feeling of inferiority against her better and not merely wallow in self-loathing, despite how that she's been robbed of her Amadeus. I see her as being wholly humane while Kurisu is a bit of an exposition device in their respective role within the story.

>>157567467
Reading them not in one go really helped with relating to the pain Okabe was feeling without Kurisu because the time that had passed. After having been with her for all that time, playing the game without her there was painful in a good way storytelling wise. It never really felt like Maho was a substitute to me either which amazed me because I assumed that's exactly what she was supposed to be.

>>157567467

All the events of S;G happen in the first place because she can't get over the fact her dad is a piece of shit and tried to help him by studying physics. The big dilemma of S;G is also that Kurisu is great, wonderful and resourceful, but in the end all that amounts to jack shit because she is powerless to do anything about her own fate and going to die if Okabe saves Mayuri, then she is going to fuck the entire world, and Okabe knows all this and can't do shit about it.
