I think one of the greatest strengths of 0 so far is as you said definitely having the backstories of the core characters already fleshed out. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts. Take care!

Glad you enjoy it because imo it hasn't even gotten to the good stuff yet.

I've seen original S;G twice and get why people call it a masterpiece. That being said, so far I've enjoyed S;G 0 (first time watching 0) even more than I did the 1st season. The plot development is still smooth and I feel like it’s just as tense as S;G’s 2nd half. I also like how Okabe's experiences from S;G come back to haunt him – mainly Amadeus/Kurisu and the fear of “it not being over yet”, but also how he reacts to Moeka, for example. During S;G he was too busy saving everyone else. (For) now, on the contrary, he is the one who needs saving the most. We’ll see how (if) he overcomes the current situation.
