Stein’s Gate Episode 21 – How Do You Melt a Paradox?
Oh, it's surprising ... it's like the tenth time
Oh, yes, Mayuri dies again for the hundredth time, like that was a big surprise for anyone. Then again, I’ve started to develop this sympathy for Mayuri. I actually care about what happens to her, and this time when she died, I had a heavy feeling in my heart. Okay, not really, but the sentiment’s still there. It’s a freaking tragedy.
What’s Okabe going to do from now on? Your guess is as good as mine, if I start talking about this honestly. A lot of people would have you believe that they know more about Stein’s Gate and they probably do…they’ve probably played the visual novel already. Anyways, leave a comment about what you think might happen soon and also, click to read more (Because you know there’s more).
I’m not sure if the people behind Stein’s Gate are going to go for a happy ending or a tear-wrenching one, but either way they go, I’m going to enjoy it. It’s been an amazing 14 episodes, because let’s face it, the first few were boring, and I can’t wait for more.
I have this inkling of a feeling that Makise is going to turn out just fine. She’s the main heroine after all, and studios barely ever kill them off. Except for Madoka, but she was an annoying twat (Couldn’t make a stupid wish until the last episode).
Updates to come later, so comment and check back!

I was slightly dissatisfied with the lack of progress in the plot but it did reinforce the reality of the conclusion Okabe realized at the end of the previous episode.
I’ve a feeling you may be right about Makise, but I don’t think inactive, passive resignation to fate is the solution the show will end — but I can’t see any other logical resolution without some cheap Deus Ex Machina.
There’s a chance that the staff is trying to stretch the last three episodes out since they don’t have enough material.
Oho, now that you mention it, a scapegoat of a solution pops up in situations like this. If something like that doesn’t pop up, I would genuinely be surprised. Albeit, it wouldn’t be in a bad way unless they botched the story.
Tutturu~
Tutudead :C
HIDOI!!! ;_;
I really expecting that Okabe would sacrifice himself in order to save both, but I never thought it would be this fast,lol. He want to ran away from the misery resulting a suicide attempt. The kindness of Mayuri saves him.
I can’t guess whether it turns out to be good or bad ending. I’m just hoping that something epic is happening that really surprise me.
Great summary, sums it up perfectly!
I’m really hoping for an Okabe-Kurisus good end, but seeing how things are going, it’s almost impossible.
Steins;Gate is proving to be rather exceptional, better than most of the shows I’m currently watching.
Really? Stein’s Gate is known for turning our expectations on their heads… and then reversing them. Derp.
I really can’t get into the Mayuri/Okabe dynamic. They’re not terrible together, but they don’t have the chemistry that Okabe has with Kurisu.
That’s the basis of the whole show.
I’ve been wondering, who is the girl at the end of every episode and how does she play into all of this?
It’s Makise I think.
