Finally finished that 4 AM rewatch of Steins;Gate and caught a detail I'd missed 3 times before

I've seen this show like 5 times now but somehow never noticed the microwave clock flashing 4:48 in episode 12 until last night. Anyone else rewatch old favorites and stumble onto stuff that makes you question your own attention span?

Wait, does it actually matter if you missed that clock detail the first few times? I mean, the show's whole point is that everything loops and repeats, so a specific timestamp might just be them being artsy without adding anything real to the plot. Not every hidden thing is a clue, sometimes it's just decoration or the animators messing around. I'd say you probably got the full meaning on your first watch if you followed the main story.

Can't even trust my own eyeballs anymore @bell.felix, maybe I blinked through half the show.
