Hi, I'm a real enjoyer of the show and u should do a video where u listen to all the OP's and ED's and also some visual novel songs like his opening. I really recommend Ito kanako's songs and u have to know that there's an alternative 23 episode that lead u to stein's gate 0.

[@THE-kc4uq]

I like to think the part with the chorus that you mentioned in relation to the D-Mail and all that is intentional because the original creator of Steins;Gate (and the bigger series it's part of, the Science Adventure Series) is the one who actually composed this song and wrote its lyrics, and he does that a lot for all the other entries in the Science Adventure Series as well.

[@rabela1810]

Imagine being so talented you create games, story, manage a company and write songs.

[@just-_-wandering]

​@@rabela1810 I wouldn't say he is the most talented in writing stories or managing a company lol. He only truly wrote Occultic;Nine for the SciADV series and it hasn't been finished for nearly a decade with every iteration being full of questions while he stepped down from the company he managed because they were insolvent letting someone else take the lead. He is good at making music though.

[@k-ondoomer]

one of the best songs ever composed, its an inspiration for me as a guitarist and a musician, love the fusion of electronic music and guitar. My favorite thing about this song, is how they completely mute the audio for a split second before landing on a massive guitar chug that is backed by the entire band... it adds so much impact while you are blasting it in the car with nice speakers. Very well written song worth of study for anyone who is into music. I also recommend the opening for the visual novel, Skyclad Observer, Kanako Ito is a very unique and wonderful singer.

[@whenisdinner2137]

Stiens gate is deadass be the best anime of all time, especially because of the ending. Also, there is an alternate viewing order because of the nature of the show itself which is incredibly cool.

[@Spid4r1]

wait, what? you mean like, watching from the last ep to the first?

[@jothamheystee]

​@@Spid4r1 The canonical events of Steins;Gate do not follow the release order of the anime. Chronologically, it is Steins;Gate episode 1-22, then episode 23β, which is the alternate episode to episode 23, that acts as a beta conversion to the β timeline (Steins;Gate 0). So then it goes all of Steins;Gate 0 then back to end with Steins;Gate episode 23-25. I am very glad to have watched it in that order the first time because once you realize exactly what events occurred when, it is such a shocking, pleasant surprise to see how intricate and brilliant the writing is.

[@zipzup8989]

This chronological order is good for the rewatch, on the first watch I wouldn’t recommend people to watch sg0 before episodes 23-24. Sg0 is written with the idea that people already know what happened in true ending.

[@jole5468]

this song gets even better when you know the translation of the lyrics also when you talk about feeling like you are looking at the song with context you have gained from the show and it might not actually be all over the place like you feel when listening after having gotten deep into the show. im pretty sure you are correct when feeling the way you do about it being made that way intentionally cause i remember the first time i watched the show, without knowing much about it at all. i tried to figure out what the music was telling me about what was gonna happen throughout the plot, and i absoluetly got a sense of what the show was about ahead of time by paying attention to it. if you are gonna watch more of chainsawman when the new season releases, try listening to kickback again and see if you get a sense that it is telling you something that hasnt happened yet. cause that opening absolutely was made to give you clues about the future of the story

[@protocolofdp]

Great analysis as always! It's good to notice, during the chorus, a background sound like a cicada singing. It fits extremely well with the anime context and the cicada symbolism involving death and changing.

[@wait_what_oh]

Genuinely ever since watching the opening, even for the first time, it makes me really emotional?? As if i am the one who is looking at time as if its a problem to solve. It makes me feel nostalgia, yet its something i cant yet describe. It makes me so much more invested bc of this feeling that i cant quite place but still feel fully in my chest. Its my favorite opening of all time, simply because nothing else has made me feel quite like that

I loved this anime so much it was the first I had to buy and have in a physical form to make sure I can watch it whenever I want and this song was totally an obsession of mine

[@ThatGuyNikolas]

Oh it's 100% intentional. The songwriter and even the vocalist are heavily involved with the Science adventure series. So much so that the vocalist even voices one of the characters in their previous game "Chaos;Head"

[@nanaholic01]

Saying the song writer is heavily involved is a MASSIVE understatement - the songwriter and lyricist Shikura Chiyomaru of Hacking to the gate is literally the creator/producer of all the works in the Science Adventure series and was the founder/CEO of the company 5pb which makes the games. He also plays the electric guitar at the 5pb lives sometimes. And even more interesting fact is he is a proficient programmer and actually started work as a game programmer during the 16bit era and worked on several big titles and only played in a band after work before he switched to doing music work full time after forsseeing that the anime and gaming industry needs better music as technology improves (which the 32bit era of Playstation and Sega Saturn bringing optical media to mainstream thus the ability to store high fidelity music instead of using MIDI proved him correct). He’s just one of those super genius who could do almost everything.

[@ThatGuyNikolas]

@nanaholic01 man, I completely forgot about that fact. But is he still working on the music production of the games? I thought he was only involved with the early stuff like in Chaos;Head

[@nanaholic01]

@ he always does the music and lyrics for the theme songs but leaves the soundtrack for others to do which most of the time is Abo Takeshi. Shikura wrote the music and lyrics for the theme song for ANONYMOUS;CODE released in 2022 which was the latest addition to the science adventure series, he got Ito Kanako to come back to sing the song too. Sadly that game didn’t do nearly as well as Steins;Gate and it fizzed out and Shikura seems now focused on reviving the Steins;Gate IP.

[@sergiovaleriani5455]

steins; gate is simply a masterpiece, don't forget to watch the OVA that ends the regular series, and also the movie that splits from the beta timeline (if im not mistaken), also steins; gate 0 is pretty damn awesome as well, make sure to check that one out too! el psy kongroo! also, it was the first time i've listened to the full song of this opening, and now i love it even more. hacking to the gate is epic, but i have to say that fatima is my favorite opening from the series (its from steins; gate 0), i would say that songwise they are both at the same level, but the mix of the video + the song, makes fatima just be one of my favorite openings of all time. "There is no god, wonderful new world"

Hi tony! Loved the video. You should also do the ending. It would be awesome to watch an analysis on that.

[@BecineStudio]

Don't know if you already watched all the episodes, but if you wan't to watch Steins Gate 0 (the other season) too, maybe you should watch in the "recommended way" In Steins Gate "classic" (the one that you're watching), watch the ep 22 and stop. Then you watch the bridge episode of Steins Gate 0 (can be named as Episode 23b or Episode 0). Then you watch all the Steins Gate 0 episodes, so you go back to episode 23 of Steins Gate Classic. I recommend this, because Steins Gate 0 is a full season between the two half of ep 23, so this way you know whats happening on backstages and get the better ending on the final.

[@KurisuKuri]

So glad you love Steins;Gate!

[@TETGFF]

What is really cool is that the 2nd verse of the song is used for the last episode as the intro (might have to check out the lyrics after the episode 👀)

Your video is very interesting and unique in its interpretation of the music of this anime. It's a pity that you don't know Japanese, otherwise you would have a deeper feeling for the lyrics. Although I don't know if you have watched the entire animated series But the OP in episodes 1-22 of this animation used the first half of the song when it was released, while the OP in episodes 22-24 used the second half of the song in response to the changes in the plot (the graphics also changed like JOJO . this trick is also used in Steins;Gate 0. Let's discuss it when you make a video about it.😁), and even the song from the original game was inserted into the climax of the animation to create an atmosphere. The animation production team also attached great importance to the importance of music in this work. (BTW, the lyrics and music of this song were written by the representative director of the company that owns the original game of this animation. Since he himself is a game music producer, he is responsible for almost all the music of the games released by his company) I also want to recommend the OP of the game version to you There are XBOX and PC versions of course, there are other platform versions as well,But personally, I think these two versions are more related to the animated version Suggest watching in the following orde XBOX → PC → animate
