How To Watch Steins; Gate In order

Steins; Gate Movies' Release Order

COMPLETE Steins; Gate Watch Order! (OFFICIAL) - QTA (2)

We should kick off with the release order but before we get into that, let me give you a gist of what to expect. Have you watched Death Note? Now if you have not watched Steins; Gate I would recommend watching Death Note first because both anime have a lot of similarities.

In both anime, Steins; Gate and Death Note, we see both the main characters of the anime trying to change the world in their own way.

In Death Note, the main character is Light Yagami, a brilliant high school student who comes across a notebook belonging to Ryuk, a shinigami, that is like a death demon. Now, whoever comes in possession of this book has to follow certain rules.

This is because the book allows the user to kill anyone by writing their name in the notebook while picturing their face. Don’t get me wrong, Light was using the power of the book to kill criminals but along the line, his methods became too psychopathic.

He started feeling like a god because of the way he was passing judgment and took things a little too far I would say more but the best experience is received when watched.

But we are not here today to talk about Death Note, we are here for Steins; Gate, in this anime the main character in Steins; Gate who is Okabe is a genius, he is a nice guy who claims to be a mad scientist. I mean, he does have some nice inventions but his world changes when he mistakenly creates the time machine.

Well, it is a machine that actually sends text messages to the past which then alters the present time. That is just a brief summary. I would try not to give out any spoilers but here is the release order of the anime;

I know, I just listed random titles with the anime but as you know, a normal anime will have movies, some ova episodes, or special episodes and so does this anime. But don’t worry I will tell you which is which and I will give you some details about each release.

Steins; Gate Movies' Release Order

Let’s first take a look at the movie that was released in the anime. Just one movie was released by the creator of the anime. It was more of a romantic filler anime just for the fans, here are some details about the movie.

1. Steins GateEgoistic Poriomania (2012)

COMPLETE Steins; Gate Watch Order! (OFFICIAL) - QTA (5)

Now the storyline in the movie takes place exactly one year after the main series. In the movie, the main character Okabe and Kurisu meet again but this time it doesn’t last long because Okabe was suffering.

The thing is that due to a lot of time traveling and having memories of different timelines, Okabe started to have some side effects where he just disappears at any given time. What’s crazy is that no one seems to notice that he is gone, as if he never existed.

But luckily,one person does remember him and that is Kurisu. Now she is tasked with a choice that tests her duty as a scientist or her loyalty to a friend. Would she follow Okabe’s advice that she should stay away from time-traveling or would disobey it in order to save him?

What do you think? If you were in such a situation what would you do? Now let’s take a look at some of the special episodes that were released.

Steins; Gate Specials and OVA Release Order

1. Steins; GateLoad Rejoin of Deja Vu (2013)

This special episode occurs several months after the Steins; Gate timeline was created. The main character, Okube, and his friends get invited to hang out with a friend who is going to take part in a Rai-Net battle in America.

There, they meet their old friend, Kurisu Makise, who for a while has been getting pieces of her memories from other timelines as dreams.

She meets up and talks to Okabe to ask him questions on whether the events from the alternate timeline actually occurred. But she actually means the romantic relationship between herself and Okabe.

2. Steins; Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link

This is Steins; Gate’s alternate 23rd episode, which would eventually lead to the storyline in Steins; Gate 0.

Steins; Gate Spinoff Release Order

Now we have looked at the movie, special episodes, and OVA, let’s take a look at the main spin-off of the anime. Below we take a look at two series which I would consider the main spin-off of the anime, don’t worry there is a brief summary so you would know what happened in each of them.

1. Steins; Gate

COMPLETE Steins; Gate Watch Order! (OFFICIAL) - QTA (9)

This is the first spin-off of the anime series that was released, it follows Rintarou Okabe, who claims to be a mad scientist. He rented out a room to practice his hobby of inventing various things.

One day, he and his friends, Mayuri Shiina, Hashida Itaru, and Daru invented the machine called the “Phone Microwave,” which has the strange feature of transforming bananas into piles of green gel.

I mean, the invention didn’t really mean anything much but he and his friends tried improving the machine and noticed something, they noticed that the machine was able to send emails to the past, which would most likely alter things in the present.

Want to know more? Well, I’m not going to tell you. Why not watch the anime to find out the series’ twists and turns that take place in the anime.

2. Steins; Gate 0

COMPLETE Steins; Gate Watch Order! (OFFICIAL) - QTA (10)

This is an alternate storyline from the first series, here we follow the main character Okabe who is now depressed and traumatized because he was unable to save his friend Makise Kurisu. He stops acting like a mad scientist and decides to just be a normal college student.

Now, he is just doing his best to forget about his whole situation and the life of him being a time traveler. But all that effort came to an end when he was approached by Maho Hiyajo, who was a friend of Makise Kurisu.

She tells Okabe that they have created an AI that can store a person’s memory and create a perfect simulation of that person, complete with personality and characters. Okabe is given the opportunity to talk to the simulated version of a long-lost dear friend in the AI.

Okabe, who is dangerously entangled in the past, must face the harsh reality and carefully navigate around the disastrous consequences of disrupting the natural flow of time. I heard that there was going to be a live-action movie for this anime. What do you think? Would it be awesome?

Steins; Gate Live-Action Movie Release Order

COMPLETE Steins; Gate Watch Order! (OFFICIAL) - QTA (11)

I am really interested to see how their live adaptation of this anime will turn out. I heard it would be produced by Skydance television. Chiyomaru Shikura first announced the adaptation on January 26, 2020, on his Twitter account.

But a lot of people aren’t really hyped about the announcement because Skydance television had promised to make a live-action adaptation of the anime Sword Art Online back on August 2, 2016. And five years later after that announcement we haven’t seen anything.

So who knows when it will be released, and if it does get released how long will that take?
