okay maybe I'm reaching a little here but it's insane to me that this scene (technically two stitched together from the end of EP.3 and the start of EP.4) features Mayuri behind Daru and Okabe. But as Daru is reading out the "Human is Dead" section she disappears behind the leg of the table. and then every single shot afterwards blocks out the part of the frame that she should be in. there's an empty space next to Daru when they're reflected in the monitor where another head could fit. Mayuri only reappears when Daru gives up on the SERN database. I am completely losing it.
#steins;gate#steins gate#shiina mayuri#mayuri shiina#hashida itaru#itaru hashida#daru#okabe rintarou#the cinematography across this anime is genuinely fucking incredible and this is possibly the best thing I've seen in the whole damn thing#this is in episode FOUR???#and it's so fucking innocuous I didn't even notice it on my first watch#genuinely fucking mindblowing#or I'm overreacting. it's 1:30. I need sleep.
