Hello @Nao Tomori -I really enjoyed Charlotte too! ^^)b-

M.A.D.company tried to answer some of your questions. If you would like to read a further answer to your first two questions explained in a different way then you might find this answer I wrote to another user's comment and the second and third sections of this blog post I wrote interesting. It covers more in-depth the effect of the first D-Mail as well as Kurisu's death. -For the second part of your second question about why Kurisu thanks Okabe, I agree with M.A.D.c.'s answer.-


 * Final question: What's up with the video from his future self? Why does he need to fail once to view it? Didn't Suzuha just bring it from the future or was it sent from the future to his past self?

There are actually two -possibly three in the original visual novel- different movie mails from his future self depicted. Suzuha did not bring it with her. The movie mail is a D-Mail sent from himself in 2025 before his future self passed away. The first movie mail he received was the failed one full of noise at the very beginning of the story. The future Okabe who sent a successful movie D-Mail that encouraged present Okabe to find a way to succeed, was one who had failed to save Kurisu after attempting once. Present Okabe failing once brought him to a world line where he could receive the successful movie mail and with the help of Mayuri's slap as well gain the resolve to find another way to save Kurisu.

I'm actually planning on updating the aforementioned blog post next month to clean it up and add some more information from the official guide books and am going to add a further explanation of the movie D-Mails when I do.

Regarding the movie, I do not agree with M.A.D.company's explanation of the R line. The R line is not the name of the world line without Okabe but the name that Future Kurisu gave for where Okabe shifted to, like you said @Nao Tomori.

Because another person asked me some questions about the movie as well, I am currently in the middle of writing an in-depth blog post on the movie which covers:
 * Reading Steiner and Déjà vu
 * Why Okabe's Reading Steiner "overloads" in the Steins Gate and causes the effect it does
 * The Steins Gate, the "R world line", and the X Attractor Field
 * The theme of observation/recognition in the SciADV series
 * How bringing Okabe back to existence in the Steins Gate world line works
 * Theories on why Kurisu looks like a child for part of the scene where she sits next to child Okabe
 * Why the "R" line was depicted looking the way it did.

It's going to include a break down of the ending scene, and I'm in the middle of translating parts of the side material like drama CD's and the manga adaptation of the movie in order to use to help explain things. I'm hoping to post it soon after I update the previous blog post.

I hope this has helped a little so far. Let me know if you have further questions and I will try to work their answers into the blog posts I'm preparing. :)
