Beginning with the obvious, both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities.
Now for the juicy stuff, both Okabe and Subaru are quite different from the usual anime protagonist and aren't meant to be self-inserts for viewers. They both must overcome obstacles to save the ones they love and both feature thrilling story lines and engaging characters that break the mold of most anime tropes like Tsunderes (with Steins;Gate's Kurisu) and Moé characters (Re:Zero's Rem). The authors want you to see the MCs go through very difficult (and sometimes gory) hardships in order to reach their goals. In a nutshell both are:
- Animated by White Fox
- Time Traveling Related
- Have fresh Non-Self Insert Protagonists
- Mold Breakers of Anime Tropes
and both anime titles have a thing for colons and semi-colons. read more
Time traveling is always a popular theme for anime.But it is risky because it can cause a lot of plot holes.Then again those two anime don't have a problem about that at all.Both mc have similar goal and reason for using time travel again and again.Steins;Gate hasn't got any real fight scenes but it has much philosophical approach about time travel.Both are done by the same studio so animation style is similar too.
Both anime revolve mostly around an ordinary guy who does his best to protect those he cares about, no matter how many times he has to do it:
- Both Guys who are suddenly caught in a spiral of disastrous events
- Both have something to do with the Butterfly Effect/Travelling back in time
- Both MC's are pretty powerless and non-significant at first
- Both MC's will stop at nothing to save those they care about
The protagonist is forced in a continuous time loop and attempts to redo the reality by making different choices with the help of knowledge from previous loops - in a way that would result in less gruesome fate, most of the time to protect his close ones.
Similar theme of live die repeat. In case of steins gate he doesnt get to do the dying part.
-Both mc's start to lose it after a while.
-A romatic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in bith shows.
-Steins;Gate is more of a sci fi and re zero more of a fantasy anime.
-Both can be very dreadful and life draining at times.
-The ending is spectacular in both shows.
All and all if you enjoy the one I believe you will enjoy the other one. Steins;Gate can be difficult to watch specialy early on but dont give up. The end is what matters.
Re:Zero and Steins;Gate featured an MC with similiar power: time travel. And the 'time travel' aspect of these series isn't just some cool sci-fi material, it has a little dark element attached to it: 'death'. Both MC tried to save people around them from the hand of the reaper, they also touched upon the psychological aspect of the MC as the only one who remember the events from before the timeline is altered. Also, both series are produced by the same studio and have fantastic, fluid animation. However, while Steins;Gate is a bit slow on the beginning, Re:Zero show its dark element right on the very first ep.read more
Despite opposite settings, both of these series feature time looping as the main plot device and strong character development, plus similar themes of selflessness and looking forward rather than behind.
Both of these animes have the same theme of going back in time to save a life, but in one the person has to die in order to change time while the other simply has to microwave a burrito. Other than that the series as a whole seems completely different.
“Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu” and “Steins;Gate” have the concept of going back in time. Problems are always arising for the main characters. Whenever they think they can catch a break, something around them has to go wrong. Furthermore, their mental state will be affected from seeing the people around them suffer. With that being said, these anime can have a very dark and serious tone. While “Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu’s” storyline is set in a fantasy world, “Steins;Gate” focuses on a real life aspect.
In Steins;Gate the mc makes a time leap machine and the plot becomes saving his friend by time leaping. In re:zero, The mc also uses time leap to save his friends. In the both series, they need to figure the way how to save people. In rezero, by triggering specific events, meanwhile in Steins;Gate by redoing his actons.
If you've seen them both then you'll know this is an obvious comparison.
Slight spoilers for story premises here, but nothing that would ruin either for you if you haven't seen them yet.
Both of these Anime are by White Fox, and have more or less the same story structure and premise: The main character has the power to rewind time somehow, and this interferes with the natural order of things. As such, they lose people they care about, and end up going back again and again, growing increasingly desperate, as they try to get the perfect result.
Both stories have a great deal of intrigue and mystery to them as well and are, at least in my opinion, utterly unpredictable.
Both well worth watching, I highly recommend both.read more
Both shows have a very similar concept around them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both produced by the same studio, White Fox. The main protagonists of both shows can act like goofballs at times, but become serious and dependable when it comes to helping others out. I don't want to say too much as it's best to go into both of these shows blind and I definitely recommend both of them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both fantastic shows produced by White Fox though Re:Zero is very controversial at times. This is only my opinion though.
the similarities
1)same studio
2)same topic- time travel
3)both the MC travels time to save someone.
4)both the MC are goofy but when the situations calls they become serious.
difference
1)Steins;gate is a science fiction while Re:zero is a fantasy.
Both have to do with going back in time to save someone they care about. The protagonists are both funny and goofy but have a darker tragic side. However,
Re:Zero has more gore and takes place in a fantasy environment and Steins;Gate is more realistic.
-both are related to different worldline and travelling back time
-both the MC are air headed but serious in tough situations
-both MC travel back time to save someone
-both shows have really cute girls...
and interesting plot and twist....
Both start happy and lighthearted but descend into madness.
The main character undergoes extreme stress, due to certain events.
Both involve time travel and returning to the same time.
The main guys have many similarities.
Both involve a romance.
Both have a cat girl named F(a/e)ris and a trap.
The vibe from both series are very alike; intense, hilarious and much more. The main characters are also very similar; they are not afraid to speak their mind to express themselves, and they often go out of their way to help other people. What's more similar is that both series deal with time-travel where the main character is able to go back into time to make better decisions to avoid similar incidents of occurring again.
-Both feature hilarious protagonists
-Both involve... hmm... how shall we say this without giving to much away.. A way of 'resetting'
-Made by the same studio, similar art style
-Start slow but reveal the truth later
In both anime the main character starts from the beginning each time he fails to save his beloved person, both see them die again and again in multiple ways and that experience takes its toll, They both lose hope at one point but someone gives them the courage to not stop and continue.
Trime travel plays a major role in both animes. Rintarou Okabe and Subaru Natsuki are able to travel backward in time in order to save someone they care about. This time travel happens multiple times throughout the anime.
-Both anime tell about LIVE - FAIL/DIE - REPEAT sequence.
-Both main character try to save someone that important to them using time machine (for Steins;Gate) and using checkpoint (for Re:Zero).
-Both anime contain a lot of emotion, especially desperation, fear, and love.
-Both anime have most popular waifu (Kirisu for Steins;Gate and Rem for Re:Zero).
Both Animes follow similar time travel theme where MC can go back and still remember the other timeline to accomplish a goal. I would also mention Madoka being in the same league.
P.S. this is my favorite genre
Both the series , the guys have an ability to go back to the past , in both the series the girls are targeted for their life , in both the series the guys go back again and again to prevent the deaths of their nakama , and in both the series they reach success but by passing through a long line of pain !!
Two incredible series about time-travelling and the absolute chaos that attempting to change the past can do to one's psyche. They're both mature series with fantastic story-telling, characters, music, and art. Steins;Gate is in my opinion the superior of the two due to its superior story-telling and cast, but Re:Zero is fantastic in its own right.
Carismatic main character that sometimes acts like an air-headed but it's not, at least not that much. Time traveling, deaths, same studio, interesting plot.
The two main protagonists, Okabe and Subaru, work with time whether it is through a machine or an ability (There is more similarities with this. However, I will leave it a surprise.). The story revolves around take action and changing the future, otherwise known as the Butterfly Effect. Both animes are made by the same studios and are enjoyable to watch after the first few episodes.
The male protagonists are very alike, as they share the traits of being humorous, caring, energetic, and emotional. The female protagonist believes in the male protagonist, which is something both anime share as well. Both shows have a lot of humor now and then, and they also have mysteries that the protagonists have to solve through thorough investigation. In the end, I honestly think that if you loved Steins;Gate, you most likely will love Re: zero as well. Not only that, they are from the same studio. The only difference between the two is the setting and the difference darkness between the two anime. Re: Zero is mostly the definition of Steins;Gate and the fantasy world. My favorite of this season, as I love deep and dark psychological anime. If you love dark and psychological anime, you most definitely will like this as well.read more
Both have almost the same concept of time travel. A guy who travel to past to save his friends from death.
The idea is: if you liked Re:Zero, you might love Steins;Gate
Before you click away because you're thinking, 'this can't be an accurate recommendation', just hear me out. There's only one thing that these two have in common: redo parts of life to save the ones you love. It sometimes may seem impossible to keep on going, but keep trying and don't give up - this is the core message in both.
So if you like these kind of underlying messages (like I did), you won't regret watching them.
Compelling portrayals of despair and the growing feeling of madness and regret over one's actions repeated over a time loop. Also, both White Fox productions.
Both are time travel series.
Both have the concept of going back in time to save someone.
Hilarious protagonists that are total air heads XD
But there is a difference in the way that use to return the time back
in re zero he must die and return to chikpont its more like Game
but in steins:gate they Using scientific ways that are more realistic
Rather than being able to time-travel, Re:Zero gives Subaru(Main character) the ability to "reset" time up to a particular point as soon as he dies.
Similar to Steins;Gate, the main protagonists are both thrown in the dilemma of going through trials again and again to obtain the desired result. However, this journey of trying to get the best situation affects their character and drains them of their "Humanity" at some point.
Events will unfold as their journey continues.
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu is probably the most popular anime released during the summer of 2016. From watching both Steins gate and Re:zero I've noticed how both the Main Characters go back in time some how to stop current events from happening. Steins Gate is by far the most confusing anime I've every seen, even episode 1 was very confusing, but everything makes sense when they explain it around the middle part of the series. If you are looking for romance in Steins Gate, then theres not that much at the beginning but there is quite a lot of romance towards the end. Steins Gate is also one of the most "Feels" anime I've seen. Be sure to check it out! I'd rate Steins Gate 9/10read more
It reminds me a little to re: zero only that the protagonist in my opinion is better developed.
really the characters will like you, as much as its history.
Thanks to this, I fell in love with travel in time.
It is a masterpiece.
I only saw myself this season, I have to see the rest but I'm content to see that end.
Arguably the best time travel story I have ever had the pleasure to watch, Steins;Gate offers the time traveling thriller story with genuinely interesting characters without using as much gore as portrayed in Re:Zero.
Both shows are about how time travel has consequences, and can cause emotional stress for the time traveler. Re:Zero has more fantasy than science, but if you want a show to give you similar feels to Steins;Gate, this is the show.
Both share a high level of comedy and writing. But what really links these shows are the main characters. They start off with a (seemigly) happy MC surrounded by friends they care a lot for. Then said friends die. Again. And Again. And Again. Inability to change the past leads to worsening mental states as they begin fighting not only fate, but themselves as well. In Steins;Gate this only happens in the second half of the show; in Zero, it's the whole thing. If you liked Okabe's character deconstruction and are looking for something similar, then I highly recommend this show. Just beware, it's a very dark show, despite what the first few episodes might lead you to believe.read more
Both were made by the same studio, basically meaning there are similarities in the animation quality.
Both of the main characters face the tragedy of failing to save the people they care about over and over again.
Both deal with the usage of time travel.
Firstly both anime is produced by the same studio. MC has similar time traveling related abilities. Author represents how both mc stuggles through hardship again again to save the person they care about. Both anime have it's beautiful share of characters that are loveable. Gives of a similar vibe even though both are not from the same genre!
Both shows follow their main character through traumatic events where they end up going back in time to fix their mistakes only to make more. As they attempt to fix all of their problems, they end up suffering from the consequences of altering history.
Both animes have the main character attempting to save what he loves the most, and they both go through a series of serious torment, confusion and desperation in order to achieve his goal while the other characters are almost clueless on why the main character is acting different all of a sudden.
To be honest since seeing Steins;Gate I have been looking for a psychological thriller along the same lines. With that in mind, now I've seen Re:Zero it's definitively in the same ballpark. Both have lead male protagonists that travel through time to try and save their loved ones while continuing to be effected by the pain of losing them over and over. The shows also have very well fleshed out character and story development along with a broad range of emotion. Many comedic, mysterious and dark tones make the feel of the shows to be parallel.
Both have got time travelling and a protagonist who wants to save their friends and they are truly caring about their friends and cares nothing but their friends
They both have time travel elements. Both characters go through similar revelations and events and have huge character development. Both are thrilling and I recommend you watch it if you love this.
these two anime have a match in terms of the storyline where the main character is stuck in the failure of the rescue of the person he loves that makes this anime may be no different is the two anime is in production by the same studio
I don't think there's anything similar to Steins;Gate but one of those shows that made me feel at least some of the feels i have with Steins;Gate is Re:Zero. It has a totally different way of traveling back to the past, and is amazing, i totally recommend it.
Both series focus on the protagonist who comes into a situation where he has time travel powers. Both Subaru and Okabe go trough a lot of suffering trying to overcome the obstacles they face. As the viewer you get attached to the characters and just really want both protagonists to succeed and find happiness and get an end to all their suffering. Eventually both protagonists find friends that support them no matter what, even if they don't know everything the protagonist knows. Like that Subaru manages to get trough thanks to Rem and Emilia, while Okabe is supported by Kurisu trough all world lines.
If u like character driven time travel stories you'll definitely enjoy both steins;gate and re:zero. If you liked either one I'm pretty sure you'll like the other tooread more
Both have time traveling aspects and compelling characters. Also, both shows are animated by the same studio-White Fox. Would highly recommend to watch both shows as they are both amazing.
Both of these animes had made me scared and excited while watching. If you like steins;gate you will definitely love re:zero. Both characters possess an incredible power about time and space.
In Re;zero, the explanations are a bit lesser than Steins;gate but both anime have a same kind of thing. They both have Time-travelling things & changing the past type option. Both are very inspirational for people who thinks to change their past or wants to change as a better version of them selves. At the starting, you might not understand it fully & might wanna quit watching but take my reccomendation & continue watching to episode 18 in Re;zero, I'm damn sure it'll become one of your favourite anime.
Despite having very different settings, both series feature a similar plot structure in which the MC finds himself repeatedly going back into time to protect those he cares about. The MCs are similar personality-wise, and both series explore the psychological ramifications of failing multiple times.
if you want an anime with perfect character development (and that contributes to their deconstruction later), interesting plot twists that leave you stuck all the time, an intelligent anime that makes you think full of hidden messages and the best protagonists of all times, steins;gate is the right choice
Both shows are centered around the use of some kind of time travel (such as time loops) by the protagonist to save their loved ones; Re:Zero is basically Steins;Gate in an isekai. Both shows feature some amount of suffering, and they were both animated by studio White Fox.
Both have main characters that travel back in time
Both have main characters that suffer a lot throughout the series
Both have main characters that try to protect all of there friends
Both have main characters that travel back in time to save a girl
Both have main characters with Chūnibyō personalities
If your looking for a main character that's similar to Hououin Kyouma or Subaru check out either one.
Both anime has similar type MC that suffers for saving his dear peoples.Both MC's are great & Masterpiece.Highly recommended anime and also must watch for you.
Time travel: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve time travel in their plotlines, although they approach the concept in different ways.
Science fiction elements: Both series contain elements of science fiction, such as alternate realities, advanced technology, and supernatural abilities.
Complex characters: Both shows feature complex, multi-dimensional characters with their own motivations and flaws. The main characters, Okabe Rintaro and Subaru Natsuki, both face difficult challenges and undergo significant character development throughout the series.
High stakes: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve high stakes situations, where the actions of the characters can have far-reaching consequences. Failure to achieve their goals can result in catastrophic outcomes.

Overall, Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both thought-provoking, engaging anime series that explore complex themes and concepts.read more
Same concept, different style
Steins;Gate is more realistic and Re:Zero has a lot of fantasy elements. Both are great in their own ways so I highly recommend both to watch
Don't be fooled by its Harem setup! These 2 titles may both have male MCs that are surrounded by "waifu" characters but both of these tackle matters in a very serious manner. Both of these stories strike hard emotionally and go darker than you'd ever expect from a waifu-heavy Anime. Both also use a Time-Travel concept.
In Both anime the male MCs has to go in the past again and again(and suffer a lot{specially in Re:Zero}) to save their love however one is scientifically developed story and the other is fantasy, But still if you are looking for well developed time travel stories this is where you should definitely go.
Both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities. Basically Steins;Gate but Isekai without Sci-fi. And here is a thing: a romantic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in both shows.
Both main characters have this time related ability that allows them to go back into the past, albeit Re: Zero is more magic and fantasy related and Steins;Gate being a sci-fi anime, they still have the same theme. Both of the MCs will stop at nothing even if it's to repeat the same events over and over to save the people they love. Not to mention, both are made by the same studio and have done an amazing anime adaptation on both animes.
If you want pain and suffering, and are a fan of Steins;Gate and other psycho-thriller animes, Re: Zero is the one for you. Tuturu~

1) Both male MCs can initiate time travelling(with the exception of some cases occurring
accidentally)
2) Both male MCs initiate time travelling to help their friends (all female)
3) Both TV shows have a female character which is very supportive of respective male MC
no matter which world lines they are in (although they both hate the respective male
MC at the beginning of both TV shows but end up loving them, which is a classic plot)
TIME TRAVEL is possible in both and only main characters can do it
Both mc have 2 cute girls O_O
Both Mc sees the person they love will die and gonna save them
Both mc have same personality
And you love both anime
- Both tackle the theme of the MC going back in time in order to save someone precious. In Steins Gate, it gets much more complex compared to Re:Zero Through, with the addition of world lines, time loops, and going forward in time. As in Re:Zero it's just about going back.
- A big difference between these two shows is the world settings. Steins Gate is more sci-fi-like. Meanwhile the world of Re:Zero is set in an Isekai Fantasy World.
- Both shows have wholesome and dark moments, really dark moments. To the point where you think there is no hope left for the main character. Until the big satisfying comeback comes forth.
- Both main characters are pretty goofy in nature, although I would lean towards Subaru being slightly more cringe than Okabe. They also act pretty similarly when something serious happens. Mental breakdownsread more
Both the anime has the main protagonist who has to suffer to protect his friends. They can repeat their actions and they can solve the mistake they have done.Both the anime belongs to thriller genre.
- time travel and time leap
- protagonist seeing close ones dying every time time they time travel
- protagonist have to do something different in each time loop to keep everyone safe.
Let’s do more screwing around with time travel! That’s pretty much what goes on in Steins;Gate, in which a bunch of psuedo-scientists stumble upon a device that allows them to communicate with the past and alter the flow of history.
But the goal of the cast here isn’t to prevent some major tragedy from occurring. Not at first, anyway. Eventually, all they’re trying to do is clean up their own mess, as their meddling brings all sorts of butterfly effect consequences to bear.
- Both are involved with time
- Both main protagonists are chads
- Both have big depression
- Both have those ight girls
One difference is that one is an isekai and the other is in today's world
so yeah
I would recommend it if you like the other
Re:Zero is the fantasy version of Steins;Gate. Both have very similar plots: the main character is able to time travel a short time into the past. Both also have very similar ways of storytelling as being animated by the same studio, while showing the true horrors of time travel and failure. If you liked Steins;Gate, you'll love Re:Zero.
Both of these animes have a protagonist who can retry his recent actions in life. They are trying their best to reach the optimal ending, where no one dies.
Re:Zero is an Isekai, Steins Gate is a Slice-of-life with sci-fi elements.
Both have many bishoujo characters, they are partly harem-type.
If you liked the time travel aspect of Steins;Gate than you can watch Re:Zero to realize how overrated Re:Zero is cause the time travel aspect in Re:Zero sucked.
The male protagonists in both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero have a similar goal. I won't say which goal because spoilers. They try to accomplish this goal through some sort of time travel. Steins;Gate elaborates a lot on the concepts of time, whereas in Re:Zero a more mysterious kind of power is involved to make time travel possible.
The main characters in their stories each struggle to save those who are precious to them by going back to the past.
But the way they do it is very different.
For the main character in Re:Zero, he does so using the ability he calls "Return by dead". But the requirement to use this ability is very risky. Which is where he has to feel the pain first. Then he returned to the past. If he used his ability often, he could be mentally crushed from feeling the pain too often.
For the main character in Steins; Gate, he uses a machine which can send memories to the past. But there is a possibility of failure. That is, he could be erased in his world.
They both suffer because it is their own choice. But that's what makes their story so amazing.read more
Both have an amazing story ,even if they wouldn't be kinda similar but
in both anime there is time travelling and the protagonist has to deal with death in the past timelines and they cant really tell the other people about their problems.
Both animes involve time travel and the protagonist going back several times at the same time and suffering physically and mentally to resolve the situation in the best possible way.
Both anime are amazing, especially rezero
Both anime mcs have some sort of power that lets them return to a certain point
Both anime have a mc that is pushed to their mental limit
Time travel related - personally for both ReZero and Steins Gate, I had to check the episode number to see if I was watching the right episode and not rewatching the previous one. Both really enjoyed watching! Recommend checking the order of the Steins Gate sequels :)
The main character dies over and over again, each time resetting his life a few days, to try and save his friends.
Only similar to Steins; Gate in concept, the execution is very different.
Adapted by the same studio, similar time-travel mechanism. Both the protagonists; Okabe and Subaru are stuck in a loop and face many obstacle from saving their loved ones. Using knowledge from previous loops. he is able to go further.
If you like the emotional drama of re;zero and how Subaru is going to use his time looping abilities to save his friends, you should watch steins gate as its entire plot is about the multiverse and time travel, the story is also great.
Both are great examples of the time-travel genre. They both have main characters who use time travel to try and change the future. The difference is that in Steins;Gate, the protagonist uses a scientific method, while in Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, he uses a magical method.
When someone you hold dear is met the fate of losing their life, and you have the ability to go back in time to that moment to try and save them, do you have what it takes to do it? In Steins;Gate, science is used to create a time a machine, rewinding the clock and changing the course of fate and time by saving the one life (or two) In Erased, it is a slightly more chaotic as there is no science involved, only a lingering sense of guilt and the ability to rewind the clock before a drastic event occurs.
These parallel lines were what drew me to Erased, and I wasn't disappointed. It did remind me of Steins;Gate with the aspect of time traveling to save a loved one. Changing the course of the present and time itself by making that one change and saving this one life, no matter the outcome. Hence, if you have enjoyed those elements in one of those anime shows, you will definitely enjoy watching the other.read more
Boku dake ga Inai Machi like Steins Gate is about the main guy who has the ability to time-travel to the past to save someone dear to him. He ends up also having to save another girl from a tragic fate which he has romantic feelings for. Both anime start with a light mood and change drastically to a darker tone, dealing with the constant struggle of the hero endlessly trying to change the outcome of the future by changing the past. Also, If you watch Steins Gate the movie, you will find extra similarities with BDGIM.
Really enjoyable animes with lot of mystery, great soundtrack and voice acting that will keep you interested from the beggining to the end. If you're a fan of Time-Travel both are a must watch and you'll definitely like one if you liked the other.
read more
I suppose its tiny bit of a spoiler, but both shows deal with time travel a fair bit. In particular, the main hero of both shows travels to the past for a chance to save the life of someone dear to him, while unraveling the mystery of what is happening around him. Both shows also contain elements of romance.
The pacing of the shows is a bit different, as Boku Dake goes a bit faster, and the methods of time travel are different as well. S;G has more slice of lifey moments, and the main characters are fairly different. Theyre both outcasts of a sort, but S;G's protagonist could be seen as more immature.
That said, both shows are very solid and if you like one, theres a decent chance youll like the other.read more
I found that when I first started watching this anime, it instantly reminded me of Steins;Gate. The concept of going back in time and altering the past, and also with the incidents involving the protagonists I found were similar in a sense. Both have the male protagonist going back in time. This leads them to the future to see how what they have changed in the past has affected future events. However, I believe that Erased is more emotional and much shorter than Steins;Gate.
Both involve time travel and heavily feature attempting to change the past for a better outcome. Erased focuses more on mystery and the changes Satoru makes as he relives his life while Steins;Gate centres more around the close relationships between Okabe and his lab assistants.
Both of the stories revolve around time traveling concept. Both of the MCs are people who want to fix his past mistakes into creating a new timeline where the happy ending exists.
-Both features the theme of time travel.
-Both has the same plot of trying to prevent deaths by changing the future.
-Both protagonist act as the leader of a group.
-Both protagonist have special time-travelling ability.
Both animes consist in saving important people to the main character, it is done in a way to make them understand better the mechanics of their ability to time travel.
In each anime is presented a mystery about the murder, they unravel the mystery throughout the anime presenting new characters and linking the pieces of the puzzle together.
They have extremely amazing history and direction, worth watching and recommending even for non-anime fans, the only bummer for non anime-watchers would be Okarin's personality (Steins;Gate main character) who is an outgoing character that yells and make jokes most commonly observed in japanese midia.
Both shows involve similar time travel mystery.
They are similar in many more ways that I cannot describe, yet I can assure you that you won't regret watching Steins;Gate if you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi.
Don't let the first 6-8 episodes of S;G let you down, it gets better, trust me.
Dude goes back in time to save chick.
Erased has a very visual novel-like atmosphere which is why people are reminded of Steins;Gate, an anime actually based on a VN. The colours used in both shows are quite drab and dark, with a similar atmosphere of desperation. Both shows have an adult cast.
Aside from the main point re: time travel and chick-saving; the characters, their interactions, and the themes are all very different.
Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) both contain elements of time travel (Steins;Gate more than Erased). Both have really good characters and animation, both have a very interesting and engaging story and really get you invested in whats going on. I highly recommend this!
This show is frail in comparison to the time travel in steins;gate. In stiens;gate the main character has a personality while retaining the basic urge to save his friends and loved ones. Yeah, you can do that with a personality. Also the time travel itself is the premise and the plot. In Erased time travel is just a tool the main character uses to attempt to capture the killer. In stiens;gate the killer is not obvious and it's very hard to tell when the plot twist will be. Meanwhile in Erased it was so obvious who was the killer. In fact I didn't think the person could be the killer because it was too obvious. Anyway basically Steins;Gate>ERASED because Erased just wasn't written as cleverly. read more
- Very smart main character...
- ...who has to get back in time to prevent someone's suffering/death
- Clean visuals, catchy soundtrack
- Amazing storytelling
ON the surface these shows are very similar. There is time travel and the goal of saving people. One of these shows is consistent with its plot and characters (Steins Gate) and one is not (ERASED). One hints at things slowly and one clumsily hits you with blunt clues. I could make this list forever. But at the end of the day I recommend Steins Gate for fans of Erased and not the other way around.
Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi revolve around the central idea of trying to save a life of someone dear to you by going back in time, only to find out that more problems and challenges have arisen. Steins;Gate explores more in depth into the time-travel theory and where the ability to time travel came from, thus the longer than usual 24 episodes while Boku dake ga Inai Machi takes are more simpler and easy-to-digest approach; just 12 episodes, on the time travel theme to take preventative measures to resolve a death and change the future.
MC experiences time loops. There's an energetic, cute female with a distinct presence. They both start very excited and have a thrilling, creepy vibe to them.
Steins;Gate is also about time travel, the consequences of changing the past and dealing with it's given repercussions.
Both show also deal with a lot of mystery that affect both the past and present.
If you want more, Robotics;Notes is set in the same "universe" as Steins;Gate, albeit a very different type of anime yet 'affected' by the events of Steins;Gate.
While we're at it, check out Chaos;Head as well.
These three in chronological order are:
Chaos;head
Steins;Gate
Robotics;Notes
Take it or leave it, your call.
Either way, I've personally enjoyed these selections.
Both anime shows have a complex plot line. Both ERASED and Steins;Gate involve time travelling to prevent something bad from happening. In my opinion, both animes are very similar and both shows are a must watch.
Time travelers, butterfly effect, grandfather paradox...Steins; Gates is, above all, an incredible story about friendship. Boku take ga Inai Machi shares the framework, the main idea and goal: change the future from the past.
Both consist of the protagonist having to time travel back to save someone he cares for. Only Steins;Gate does it better in my opinion and actually has a solid explaination for the time travel mechanism.
Both animes series are based on the ''Time travelling'' subject.
In both of the series the main character is trying to save someone dear to him.
There are major differences in the two animes , like Steins;Gate has a comedy side too and it's not as serious as BDGIM.
BDGIM is more emotional and dramatic.
Both of the series are worth watching , If you liked one of them you will like the other one for sure.
Both include the theme of time travel, only difference being Boku dake ga Inai Machi is based on supernatural, whereas Steins;Gate is based on science. Boku dake ga Inai Machi is currently airing, showing another theme of having to go back in time to save someone.
Eccentric MC
Time travel
Above Standard Animation
Only difference is Steins gate did everything else better but took longer to develop it plot.....hence why its above Boku dake on MAL. So if you watched boku dake, go watch this classic.
Main character in both series are able to time-travel from the present to the past. The story centres itself with the theme of good versus evil with the main character having to make each and every small decision which can greatly affect the future depending on the actions done from the past.
Both have extremely well and tastefully written plots and characters, are thrilling and galvanizing. They conjure up intense feels and deal with time leaps.
- Both revolve around the same idea of someone trying to change the future to prevent a murder
- Both have protagonists that originally look bland but are actually great characters
- Both have quirky looking, realistic characters
- The biggest difference is that Boku Dake gets going much faster than Steins; Gate, but even this little detail has made some people think these series are very different
Similar time travel concepts and psychological elements, and the main characters of both series have very similar experiences. Both series also have a fantastic story and good character development too.
-Both shows have a time travel setting.
-Both shows have lovable characters.
-Both shows have the main character trying to save someone.
Here's some advice: make sure to watch them back to back. I did that and it was amazing.
--In both animes MC go back in the past to change their fate..Though in Steins;Gate, the repeated failure can make you cry... :'(
--In both animes... The MC go back in the time to save their beloved ones..
--Both of them start off with a light start and then paces up....
--And of course, How can I forget about THEM... The cliffhangers in both are just...OTHERWORDLY...(Keep an eye out when watching them, U might actually DIE!)
Steins;Gates is a more Sci-Fi based anime...and makes use of time travel theories which actually exists...While Erased does not make any use real life theories and is a bit more Supernatural...
But, No Doubt, Both are a MUST WATCH!read more
Time Travel? Changing the Past? Both of these got it. Plus a whole deal with the psychological effect. Also, each MC has a smart person that figures out that something is up and tries to help. I don't want to spoil either of these series, so just watch it
Both animes are about time travel. Fujinuma Satoru and Okabe Rintarou time travel to past to save someone. Both endure failure and had to travel through time in several times to achieve their goal. This allows them to experience multiple timelines.
Both series feature spirited protagonists, that might feel isolated from those around them, but are determined to the right thing and fix their mistakes - this may sound clichéd, but they both have enough quirks and enough charm to keep them interesting. From a genre perspective - both feature time travel and the idea of alternate worlds and realities, and the idea of preserving relationships across these boundaries. The artwork, particularly the backgrounds, is something definitely worth noting, as there as some stunning scenes throughout. Steins;Gate has more "lighter" moments, perhaps due to the added length, but both series definitely have plenty of suspenseful moments that'll have you moving onto the next episode as quickly as you can.
And they both feature ambiguously-gendered boys. :P read more
Both of the anime's main character has the abillity to travel in time to save beloved people. Both are breath taking, If you're looking something similar then here it is! Loved it!
Time travelers, butterfly effect, grandfather paradox...Steins; Gates is, above all, an incredible story about friendship. Boku take ga Inai Machi shares the framework, the main idea and goal: change the future from the past. Rintaro –Steins; Gate– and Satoru –Erased–, are in charge of it. The characters share more than it could seem.
Both stories involve time travel used for the purposes of preventing a terrible event
Both stories have a murder mystery and friendship as central plot points
Both have light romantic undertones
Both stories have a deep emotional impact and are overall quite touching
In general, there is a very similar thematic feel between these two animes, and if you like one then you will most likely enjoy the other.
Both anime series involve a male protagonist going back in time to prevent a death. The difference is that one involves the use of technology to intentionally time travel and in the other, time travel is a super natural ability that the protagonist has little control over. I highly recommend both series and am confident you will enjoy both series' unique approach to stories involving time travel.
Changing the future by fixing the mistakes done in the past plays a huge part in both series. In both anime, the main character tries to save someone important to them by traveling to the past. Both shows also keep you at the edge of your seat as you follow the protagonist on their mission and see the consequences of the actions and mistakes done by them.
Both animes are related to time travel and the problems that accompany it.
Characters are tested in difficult situations and will face difficult decisions to save their loved ones.
Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi revolve around the concept of the butterfly effect, where one action causes a chain effect into the future. Both protagonists continually travel back in time to fix the main cause and to fix their futures from something both Okabe and Satoru don't want to have. Both are great fiction animes with Steins;Gate more on a technical, machine level and Boku dake ga Inai Machi with a simple ability.
Both involve time-travel, emotions and mystery. Both has main characters in the age range 20-30 (Although, boku dake ga inai machi has the childhood past of the main character where he is a boy). Also, both has some romantic moments.
Why? because they both have deep emotional story lines. Though both have a slow start if you get past the first few episodes, you will be entering a battlefield of emotions. I cried watching both, and so will you. Enough said!
Another time-travel theory is present in this series, though compared to Steins;gate, Boku dake ga Inai Machi's time-travel occurs as a natural phenomenon instead of actually (and specifically) manipulating time.
Both protagonists are on a quest to change the future by saving their loved ones, and their journey of fighting the evil ones (Criminal in ERASED, Organization in S;g) from being successful in their evil deeds.
Boku dake ga Inai Machi is a very confusing anime and it isn't very easy to figure out whats going on,similar to Steins;Gate where your mind gets blown when the main character discovers something important. This isn't the only reason it is similar to Steins;Gate as the main character in Boku dake ga Inai Machi gets sent backwards in time,with his previous memories when a death or negative things happen around that he has to prevent.
A powerful and pur love story! This affirmation is perfect for those anime.
Like in ,,Stein;Gate", ,,Boku dake inai machi has a unique way to tell a story by breaking time and help the protagonist to protect his lover and his friends.
Those anime are REALLY similar but they stil have their original and exciting story involving time traveling and friendship.
Both animes have time travels and they need to solve one problem in the past for get a better future. The main characters need to rescue a girl for being murdered, even if their life becomes more dangerous...
-Both series are based on time travelling
-While in 'Erased' its the main character's ability to do so, 'Steins;Gate' tries to put it in a scientific and logical way
-In both anime, the main character time travels to save the ones close to them specifically females
-Both seem very boring in the first parts of the anime but get excellent later
-Erased focuses on the main character most of the time when but steins;gate puts the characters in groups and give an overall view of whats happening not just the main character's thoughts
-Both have some great plot twists and one of them revolving around a character
-Both have the main character having some psychological conflicts later in the series
While I think Erased fans will love steins;gate, i can not say the opposite because some say steins;gate has that 'Masterpiece' element but everyone has different views so feel free to tryread more
Time travel can become interesting when coupled with great plots, if you look for it in another anime in this story line Steins; Gate was made for you.
This anime also deals with time travel, and has a strong focus on suspense and mystery. It features complex characters and an engaging plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Both features the ability to time travel. They also bring up the subject of tragedy and sadness of attempting to go back in time to save loved ones. Steins;Gate does go on a more scientific route when it comes to time traveling while Erased tends to gear towards the subject of crime and mystery.
Steins;Gate and Erased share a lot of similar traits:
- both involve time travel (though it's explained more thoroughly in Steins;Gate)
- MC travels back in time to save a loved one
- both have a similar atmosphere/feel
- intriguing plot and keeps you on edge
Even though Erased is more of a mystery anime than Steins;Gate, I found myself frequently drawing similarities between the two shows. If you liked the feel and premise of one anime, you will most likely enjoy the other
ERASED had a potential that was unfortunately never utilized to its full potential, with its conclusion failing to wrap up things as satisfyingly as it should have been. This may have been recommended time and time again, but Steins;Gate is the epitome of time-travel anime, after all, with its science fiction elements fully explored within the course of its whole run and a deeper and darker feeling...that ERASED should've had, mind you, if it was only ever expanded upon aside from being a mere plot device.
Both anime focus on the male protags travelling through time to save the girls most important to them. However, SG focuses more on the science aspect of the story, while Erased's focus is more on solving a mystery, as well as the protag's feelings about the "new" set of people around him.
In my opinion, SG is far better because it does not have one tenth the number of plot holes that Erased does, but then again, others will have a different opinion.
In both cases the protagonist returns to the past, trying to stop something from happening in the future, while struggling to cope with the fact that he is the only one that knows of this future event. Both protagonists are also seemingly helpless when it comes to action, so their struggle is completely intellectual.
Both of the shows are based on the chaos theory called "The Butterfly Effect" which is quite interesting to watch - because I, myself am a big fan of the theory.
Both of them have likable characters!
Both of them are serious but still have humor in them, even though "Boku dake ga Inai Machi" is more serious and much shorter than the epic "Steins; Gate"
Both got time travel fantasy on it.
Both got alot of drama and plot twists within it.
Steins Gate talking about the consicuinces of changing the past.
While boku dake ga inai machi changing the past for better future.
These are both great shows. Both main characters go through similar struggles and repeatedly re-do events for a different outcome. The setting albeit differ from one another still make for very similar shows. Both are great thrillers. I love them both.
They both focus on a basic concept of time travel(of sorts) and focus on saving a loved one by altering past actions.
High on suspense and moments that could give you goosebumps no matter how many times you watch them...Great Stories...Highly recommended.
Both revolve around time travel to erase past mistakes and fight for a better future. They have really good characters (with similar main characters) and animation, both have a very interesting and engaging story and you really get invested in whats going on.
-TIME TRAVEL/THRILLER best combo
-GOOD OP
-Well written plot (especially S;G)
-SMART MC (yes okabe 200IQ confirm)
-Both characters are a leader of their group of friend
-Both characters got a special time related power
-Both characters trying to save their partner
Erased draws the easy comparison to Steins;Gate in that they're both time travel anime. Running the connection a little deeper, Erased is also home to its own set of likable characters and time travel consequences.
Similar kinda story but you'll get much more different between 'em. Boku Dake ga Inai Matchi has a great story with the MC.s supernatural ability to go to the past and the desire to save his classmate from a kidnapper.I am sure you'll enjoy it. 😊😊
Both animes have interesting time travel tramas and both characters travel through time to save their dear friends! If you liked Steins;Gate you might like Erased as well.
Both MCs try to make changes the past occurrences in order to save the girl's life.
They both a have an opportunities of traveling to the past, even though in different ways.
-Both anime revolve around time travel
-similar if not same concepts
-the main characters spend the entirety(mostly)saving others but in an completely different manner
-Awesome ops
If you like such a masterpiece as steins gate, then you may also like Boku dake ga inai machi, in both anime titles the main character moves in time, into the past in order to change the future, to prevent someone's death or change the future in a good way ... In steins gate, science is used, a time machine, in Boku dake ga inai machi there is no science, the main character has the ability to travel to the past if some bad event occurs. I advise you to watch Boku dake ga inai machi, good anime, that's for sure, you'll love it! I'm sure :)read more
If you loved the time travel aspect OR the characters of Steins;Gate, Erased should be your next stop. A short anime that features both time travel and lovable characters, it is almost able to match the intensity and depth of Steins;Gate even as it spends most of the story focused on elementary school children.
Both are great animes. In ERASED there is no scientific logic for the revival but the theme is somewhat similar to that of steins gate. However, steins gate will still be the best.
Both of them have time travel element. The main character is somehow similar to each other, to protect/save everything he loved. And at honestly, Erased is Steins;Gate but lite.
They are similar due to the time travelling mechanic both animes possess.
But Boku dake ga Inai Machi uses the time travelling mechanic in a kind of different way than Steins;Gate.
If you like Steins;Gate's plot I can almost guarantee, that you will love the story of Erased.
1) Both of them involved a travel back-and-forth between the past and future and the effort to change it
2) Both of the characters are a man who want to change certain event to change the whole sequence of the future
3) Both of the series involves an intense story and real-life interraction just like your typical daily activities
If you enjoyed Steins;Gate for being intense and jaw-droppping, then you might also like ERASED. It has a similar way of revealing shocking moments that make their show interesting and time traveling is evident. ERASED only has a few episodes to watch so it is good if you are looking for a short anime that might give you a similar experience as you watch.
Both are emotional masterpeice. They are psychological horror/thriller and twisted time travel perfectly done. One is HARD scifi (S;g) other is fantasy (erased). Both deals consequences of time travel, butterfly effect, Chaos theory and both protagonists are
Not in good mental state at the end of anime. Well both are stunning masterpeice for me. Erased is hindi dubbed also!
These two go well together because they deal with time travel and the plot twists are as shocking. The protagonists are pretty similar in the way they act which gives them the same appeal.
The same type of story, but this one is less sci-fi. Almost the same epic and thrilling experience as Steins Gate. The consequences is as big as Steins gate, with faster pacing
Steins;gate is infinitely times better so if you liked Erased this will be amazing. Both revolve around time travel, yet only truly captures the essence of it.
Similar to Steins;Gate, Erased asks the question "If you could go back in time to prevent a tragedy of a loved one, would you?" While Erased ignores science for a more supernatural explanation of time travel, it follows the same principle. Distinctly, Erased touches on the nostalgia of childhood, while teasing the audience with its engaging murder mystery throughout the series
Both series use time travel similarly and tell a similar story, since in both shows the main character travels through time in order to saved a loved one.
Both involve time travel of sorts and highlight the struggles one must face when given the power of time travel. Also in depth characters and very engaging storylines
- The protagonists travel back in time in order to save their friend;
- Lots of focus on the characters and their relationship with one another;
- Cozy yet suspenseful atmosphere.
Both animes consist in saving important people to the main character, it is done in a way to make them understand better the mechanics of their ability to time travel,
In each anime, is presented a mystery about the murder, they unravel the mystery throughout the anime presenting new characters, and linking the pieces of the puzzle together,
They have extremely amazing history and direction,
Two absolute master pieces of time travel. Words can't describe how great of an experience these two animes gave me. From the awesome narrative to the genius use of time travel mechanics, i guarantee that'll you'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you're a fellow time traveler and haven't watched both of these, what are you waiting for?
A time travel mystery about a boy trying to save a girl, while also trying to uncover the reason behind her death.
Probably the most similar show to Steins; Gate that I've seen, but it is significantly worse.
It is almost exactly the same as steins gate, with its subject and processing style. Like Steins Gate, time travel and romance are successfully combined. It has a gripping plot. Their music and visuals can't even come close to steins gate level, but give it a chance. While watching, you should not expect much humor as in steins gate.
Rintaro Okabe is a "mad scientist" who spends most of his time inventing random things. One day, he invents a device that allows him to send messages backward in time. This unexpected development gives him the opportunity to save his freind from a terrible fate - which isn't too far off from Satoru's time-traveling feats. Steins;Gate takes things a little further than ERASED does - rather than just trying to save one person as Satoru does, Okabe is trying to take down a massive conspiracy. If you're looking for something a little more complex and scientifically minded than what ERASED had to offer, this might be your next new favorite. read more
If you're a fan of time travel-themed anime like Steins;Gate, then you might enjoy the anime Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi). The show follows a struggling manga artist named Satoru who has the power to go back in time to prevent tragic events from happening. When he's accused of murder, he finds himself transported back to his childhood, where he must prevent a series of kidnappings that happened in his hometown years ago.
Erased offers a complex and thought-provoking plot, with well-crafted characters and intricate plot twists. The animation and soundtrack are both top-notch, and the show has received critical acclaim for its storytelling and emotional depth. If you're looking for another thrilling and mind-bending anime, definitely give Erased a try!read more
I cannot say the detail as it is a huge spoiler, but both has exact same theme and plot complexity with repetition. There are also tons of surprising factors, too.
Both series are a roller coaster ride of plot twists and dark miss happenings. The setting is somewhat similar, the mood, the art and the unique characters that all play a part no matter how small. Love one and you will instinctively love the other. Two of the best anime ever made.. both completely different yet so alike.
Both series are centred around intricate and extremely well-thought out plots, and they are executed to near perfection. They feature a similar premise, in that a main character from both series must...shall we say, shoulder the burdens of the entire world in a manner that can't be appreciated by others.
Both have similar plot formats in that they start off fun and lighthearted but change dramatically as the plot develops. Okabe and Homura have a very similar goal as well.
Both have a similar beginning in the essence where you have to watch past several episodes to get interest, while Steins;gate has a beginning where you have no clue as to what is happening, mahou shoujo madoka magica has a beginning where it shows a normal school girl, both after 3 or 4 episodes get really interesting.
The middle of both anime have the same plot related issue as well, but I won't spoil anything.
There's a HUGE amount of similarity in here that it'd be a spoiler to tell.
So in short, both are alike except one has to deal in the Science Fiction genre while they other one remains in it's Magical Girl genre.
Both of these are amazing! If you watched one, then you'll definately love the other regardless on the order you watched them. And they both have great music too!
Dark, sad, unbearable truth.
Those things above are thing u will find in S;G just like in M*M it got an unexpected turn event and character development. And most of all is Friendshi-
Both initially seem juvenile and routine, but evolve into a much darker and original being as the series progress. Both deal with repitition to obtain a desired result, and both inject new life into genres that were previously thought to be exhausted.
Both of these animes are like a rollercoaster. First, it seems to progress steadily and introduce many seemingly-positive characters and ideas, then the intense sh*t happens and you have an absolutely amazing and dark, twistiness of a plot that will most likely cause you to binge-watch the rest of the series until you finish and/or your probably boggled mind leads to an explosion of multiple feels all at once, in an outstanding way!
These two anime are similar in that they both deal with the balance of the world and the changes in different timelines. They also show the different sacrifices that have to be made in order to obtain what is necessary. However, Steins;Gate provides more character development compared to Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, probably because of the longer length in the number of episodes.
Like in Steins;Gate, first episodes of PMMM are carefree and joyful. In both shows are gradually shown deeper and darker layers of tragic story about desperate fight to change seemingly inevitable fate of heroines, who too late learn that using their new power has its price.
Don't be deceived by sugary opening and first episodes of Madoka! It's MUCH darker than it appears at first look, I would even say it is far more serious and dramatic than S;G. Story is written by Gen Urobuchi, who publicly "apologized for intentionally misleading people that Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica is a cute healing anime". Wikipedia describes its genre as "Drama, Horror, Magical girl, Tragedy", and MAL as "Magic, Psychological, Thriller".read more
-very good watch if you have enjoyed one of either you will enjoy the other
-both are about different struggles that the characters must over come to have a better life and a different future than that given to them by fate. . .
I can not say much other because that would say much in terms of spoilers both follow a structure of trial and error.
Both work to their fullest in making an engaging story with the simple yet interesting material to their fullest.
-Both animes start off with a lighter vibe to them but as the story progresses the plot of them both gets much darker and digs deep into the human's soul.
-Both animes deal with time-travelling
-Both animes will leave you with something to think about after their final episodes.
These two are considered rollercoaster anime. They start off slow, but once you get about half-way, the intense, thrilling, dark stuff happens. Both have the same plot related issue, that'll be a spoiler to tell. In both anime there are sacrifices to be made in order to obtain their goal.
A story of someone trying to overcome a seemingly inescapable fate and an underlying sense of hopelessness. Uses aspects of time-travel specifically for this purpose.
Both series use the same plot-devices near the end (which I will not mention so as not to spoil anything), and both have the overall same feel to them, even if they are completely different genres.
Opinion incoming: both are somewhat overrated and have an unnecessarily unfitting happy ending.
Share the same chilling feeling of hopelessness and despair... Both shows revolve around changing the fate that they already know. No spoilers but both of these shows are very deceiving at times.
Both shows are absolutely masterpieces that fuck with your mind.
+ Both have fantastic plot twists.
+ Both start off as cheerful, but gets increasingly darker.
+ Both have a similar theme going on. Saying what would be spoiler territory.
+ Both come from 2011, and both are considered the best anime of this year.
- Steins;Gate still retains some lightheartedness even in the end. Madoka does not have this treatment.
- Steins;Gate focuses on the "theme" they share, while in Madoka's its one of many.
- Madoka is considered to be more emotional, while Steins;Gate to be inspiring.
Both of these particular series have very similar themes/depth of plot complexity. Also are packed full of surprises. Finally they have the 'Thriller' genre in common along with similar ratings.
Both of these anime have a very strong cast that are both funny and adorable. The warmth set off by the main characters is absolutely wonderful. The cast will get you attached and begging for more. The art style is very different between the two, a very pleasing type of different. Madoka has a very abstract style that it goes by while Steins; Gate uses more of a realism. Both art styles fit the anime beautifully and bring out the true feel for who the characters are. The characters are wonderful and the overall feel will leave you to wonder what will happen next.
Both are my personal favorites. A recommendation for both of them.
Steins; Gate- After you watch it rewatch it.
Madoka- I feel it should be watched through the movies, Beginnings (1), Eternal (2) and Rebellion (3, also different story). The first two are just all of the episodes put together with new scenes that add onto the feel I feel it adds onto the character development as well. read more
Both of these series are psychological thrillers and involve the main characters determined to do anything to save the one they love. They both also have a very similar concept that actually compliments each other quite well though you have to watch both to understand what I mean. This is just my opinion, but both series have been regarded as masterpieces in their own right though your own opinion can vary. Madoka Magica in particular, is a controversial series that may have things that you might not like. Don't let that turn you off as both Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica are special series that contain a lot of meaning and hidden messages in it. For anyone that hasn't seen Madoka Magica, it may not look like a psychological thriller at first. There are slight hints, but the series really shows its true colors on episode 3 so I recommend giving this the otaku three episode rule. Overall, if you enjoyed one, then you'll most likely enjoy the other and personally, these series both deserve a watch. But then again, this is just my opinion.read more
Mindbending excitement.....there is also, surprisingly huge similarities in the plot. I feel like both of them are those "expect nothing, get EVERYTHING" kind of animes. Both anime start off with simple, easy to understand plots, that don't bore you before they get REALLLY good. Trust me, to those who watched Stein's;Gate and think it is as original and one of a kind as it get's....well it is. But Madoka sure make's a good counter. Personally, I perfered Madoka to Stein's;Gate (barely, but there both FANTASTIC IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE), but if you've watched and enjoyed one of them you will love the other as well!
Both anime are extremely similar in the tones that are conveyed throughout. Both Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica begin with a rather light-hearted, almost ideal scenario where the viewers expect nothing short of happiness and fun all around. And both shift into a rather serious, dark tone that prevails throughout the rest of the show in a manner that one does not expect (and that unexpectedness is great, especially given how many anime are rather predictable these days).
As both anime share similarities in tone, they also share similarities in the themes/motifs conveyed. In an effort not to spoil anything, I will simply say that both explore the concept of fate, the illusion of multiple possibilities, the desire to change fate, and the psychological consequences that come from pursuing these.
Both anime will put you through an intense, emotional rollercoaster that really makes you think, consider, and hope. That's why I would highly recommend watching Madoka Magica if you are looking for something truly similar to Steins;Gate.read more
I personally think that the recommendation of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica next to Steins;Gate is a spoiler.
This should be removed.
Now that I think of it, this is valid for not just a single direction, recommending either for the other is a spoiler for both of these stories because the both of these stories have implemented a surprise factor into the way that the story is told.
This way you know what to expect, at least somewhat, and thus the surprise won't be a legitimate as it could've been.
With that said, I've said enough as to why liking one warrants a recomendation for the other.
Because MAL does not allow to recommend LNs or Manga on the basis of Anime, I will use this comment to do so. But my first recommendation is concerning MM – Steins;Gate. This is based less on similarity in terms of story or setting, but more on the feelings that arise as the plot unfolds. As MM only lasts 12 episodes – compared to the 24 of SG – the transition from light-hearted to terrifying feels much more sudden and due to the setting also more extreme. Nonetheless, I watched SG first and could not help but notice how likewise both anime were in terms of this specific change. Even if you don’t like certain characteristics, like the fan service in SG or the Magical Girl setting in MM, like I did, you will most likely enjoy one if you are fond of the other.
Having said this, the “real” recommendation I want to give her is, if you have watched SG or MM (or both), one of my favorite LNs, The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria. It shows so much resemblance to both Anime, but I was really starting to feel intrigued/reminded while watching the last few episodes of MM. I will not go into any detail here, as that would, in my opinion, spoil a lot of the fun. So, even if you’re not into reading, I guarantee you that you will like this Light Novel series. The story is finished, so you don’t have to wait for further volumes. Read it, you’ll have fun (or something like that)!read more
[Spoiler alert]
Madoka seems kiddy, but it's actually dark. It's not your average lucky go lucky magical girl anime type. From a description I read on YouTube, we can say it's like a candy shop built on the Native American burial ground.
These two share so much similarities, though they don't look like it:
- Madoka Magica seems light-hearted, funny, just like your typical cute magical girl anime at the beginning... but it's not. Don't be fool by the look.
- The main characters learn that they have some sort of special power, but eventually they learn about the serious consequences to using it.
- This show turns darker and deeper through the series, with psychological implications.
Both are brilliant shows. S;G focuses more on science, theories and time traveling while Madoka seems more about emotions, hope and despair (sometimes Christianity related). Madoka seems more depressing than S;G, that ending though.read more
Both series have a slow and inconspicuous start, but the narratives gradually descend into something far darker and more powerful, in which the protagonists must make choices and sacrifices that affect themselves and their friends.
Both have alot of plotwists in it that happen when you least expected it to happen and both get darker and more complex in terms of plot as time goes by too.
Making a text about the reasons why Steins;Gate fans should watch Madoka Magica is kinda giving spoilers to the plot line of both Madoka Magica and Steins;Gate. I will try to make this recommendation spoiler-free as possible.
Both have a theme in common, regrets and time-travel And both have the happy feeling at the beginning, a thing that will make you happy that will lead you into darker places of your mind that I won't dig more cause spoilers.
Also both have amazing OST's
Both shows follow a "back loaded" story structure (if you've seen either you'll know what I mean) that is heavily drama-driven and not afraid to play with convention. I have a strong hunch they appeal to the same type of viewer
Both have complex thoughts that are tied together. Both include psychological themes and deal with mature topics. Although Steins;Gate is a bit slower, they both follow time travel.
Time traveling, self-recurrence, and relationship beyond space & time. That is what I describe the most of similiarty between SG & PMMM. Also when watching some first episodes of both series, we will be served by some elements of SOL that will deceive us in the rest of episodes (having great plot twist).
Both series are very thrilling with many twists. A group of friends/ or a group that would later become friends through their struggles together, find themselves with access to a power that could quite literally change their destinies. Even if they using this power to better themselves or those close to them, their drastically altered destinies will unfold and reveal themselves to be much darker than they had imagined. The opposite of what they had envisioned.
Two of my favourite series ever. I highly recommend you watch both of them, if you haven't.
actually these two anime have many similarities. dive into the dizzying plot after the first few episodes, transition to a sad atmosphere, psychological, Okabe and Homura have similar motives, deep meaning, amazing friendship, animation and openings. they are even released in the same year haha. if you liked one of them, then i really recommend watching the other one.
Much like Steins;Gate, Madoka Magica is an anime every anime fan should watch eventually. Madoka Magica features an ensemble cast that all have relevance to the overarching plot. The identity of the antagonist(s) is not immediately obvious. One of the main characters obtains a power that comes with drastic complications. The protagonists are both willing to go to a great extent of self-sacrifice to save their friends. Madoka Magica references details from the beginning of the series at the end much like Steins;Gate. This series contains many similar themes to Steins;Gate and I would highly recommend it to those who enjoyed it.
I absolutely love both of these series. Both are the type that make involve great and amazing plot twists and action that will keep you on your toes. I love how everything ties together, and almost nothing isn't important. Absolutely recommend both!
Both series have to do with messages on cell phones. In S;G they send messages to the past as a way to 'time travel' while in MN!, a person's fate is written as a diary. Both animes are excellent psychological thrillers.
Cell phones, thriller, drama, and epic action scenes. What else could we ask for more in both of these incredible anime(s)? Both Mirai Nikki and Steins;Gate also incorporates the usage of cell phones although for different purposes. Additionally, there is romance in both series as well as comedy and emotional drama. As the series continues for both anime, we also see various plot twists and cliffhangers that leaves the audience asking "what's next"?
Both animes are related withe the time and situations that must be handled according to time rules, the main characters become sort of "time lord". Nevertheless Steins; Gate has a cientific approach while Mirai Nikki get a supernatural like.
Stories that work on similar science-fictional theories, in which old-styled cell phones play an important role. The protagonists have the ability to change future, but there may be consequences.
Both series have something to do with the future and time travelling. The main character goes to so much trouble he never asked for that you will start to feel sorry for him. The emotions in these series are see deep that you just cannot do otherwise than feel along with the characters. I am really sure that you will enjoy them both.
Both share an impossible romance, hard to endure emotional moments, similar time and space theories, character development and backstory, lots of plot twists, awesome music soundtrack and seiyus (voiceovers). In both case, you end up marathoning the whole thing in a day or two =)
Both animes deal with how the future can be changed through certain actions, the difference is that Steins;Gate is closer to reality, including elements that exist such as "SERN" and "IBN" (that would be the "CERN "and" IBM ") and characters using time machines, since the Mirai Nikki is a game where you can not return to the past but to predict the future, but it is a game of survival and all holders of" Mirai Nikki "have to kill the other carriers.
They both use cellular devices to depicts the future or time travel in steins gate case, they both have very strong plots that make sense for something like time travel being involved, the differences is that Mirai nikki is sooo much more violent I would not recommend it to people who dislike gore.
Both series has a complicated story that involve world line, which make interesting to watch if you like complicated story. really had a brilliant story and confusing if you don't watch it until the last episode.
Both are somehow about survival, but Steins;Gate is more about trying to get everyone alive, Mirrai Nikki is about being the last man standing. Both have sophisticated bonds between characters and unexpected moments. Both involve using mobile phones to something irregular.
-Both protagonists use their cellphones to change the future
-Both protagonists try to change the outcome of a future event to protect their loved ones
-Both include a female and male lead that try to interfere with "fate"
-Both have a complicated plot which plays with your mind
*P/S: Keep in mind that Mirai Nikki is a lot more twisted if you like that aspect.
These animes has one very similar aspect, but with one big difference.
In mirai nikki you know your future, in steins gate you know your past. They know how to change their future in mirai nikki and they know how to change their past in steins gate. But what they both do not know is what will happen if they change it. Even the fact if you make it worse or better is never clear. Of course you can always think that it cannot get any badder.
The other fact is that they know their past and future immediately after that. So they can change it once more.
The big difference is of course future and past in this theorie. Other difference are that steins gate has a more complicated plot and mirai nikki has yuno with all the battles accompanied with all the blood :).read more
Mirai Nikki and Steins;Gate both deal with changing the future, and past. Although one is more action orientated, and one is more scientific. Both contain amazing revelations and keep you on the edge of your seat. Mirai Nikki is more heart pounding and supernatural, but Steins;Gate is more intellectual. Both are deep and most importantly, these shows have AMAZING character development. We can feel their tremendous growth, their motives, and their ambitions. Tearjerker, heartwarming, and immersive, if you've seen one and want an anime that makes you think just as deep, check the other out.
Both series deal with the concept of using "time" to your advantage. While Steins;Gate is about changing the past, Mirai Nikki is about changing the future. Both stories are dark albeit Mirai Nikki pretty much starts out that way while Steins;Gate had a long buildup towards it. Both series have interesting characters and you'll enjoy learning more as the stories progress.
They both involve cellphones as a central plot device as well as complex time travel (this is more evident in S;G than MN). They also have psychological elements and a romantic subplot
Anything and everything can change something especially since both use cellphones to alter the future and outcomes of different events of course mirai nikki has a lot more gore and in my opinion Steins;Gate is better but they have similar base plots.
- Both trying to change the fate or the outcome of different situations
- Both have a very harsh psychological aspect
- Both Protagonist have the ability to peer into the future.
- One is more realistic doing this scientifically while the other is more of a horror game
- The female protagonist, one is Yandere one is Tsundere.
They both include the concept of time. However they do it in different ways. Steins;Gate uses time travel while Mirai Nikki uses the concept of predicting the future using diaries. In Steins;Gate, you can also somewhat figure out the future if you travel back in time. They both execute these ideas perfectly, in different ways and they both work.
Changing the future plays a large part in both series. Both the protagonists discover the ability to alter the future and use that power to try and change it to their liking. If you enjoy thrillers that keep you at the edge of your seat you might like both the series.
the both have twisted story that you can.t ander stand it till the end
they are the kind of anime that you can't stop thinking whale watching if you watched one of them you should know what i am talking about and if you don't what the f**k are you doing
in the characters the are soo diffrerent
Similarity: Just as Mirai Nikki literally translates to "Future Diary," Steins;Gate is also all about altering the future with information that is known beforehand—and both anime alter the debacles of time through the use of particular phones! Now, what could be more thrilling and exciting than that! I mean, both anime are highly fascinating, not because the future is no longer a secret in both, but because these two shows are captivating in their own right. Suspense, thrills, action, and twists—there’s plenty more where that came from, and you’ll find quite a lot in Steins;Gate.
Though on the surface Steins;Gate and Mirai Nikki may not appear to have much similarity other than their aspect of time disruption. In reality, the two are much more relatable. For instance, they each have a psychological element matched with a suspenseful action-filled plot. Allowing for their 24-26 episode animes to fully develop. Along with that, the intricate plot leaves the viewers guessing about the future and asking "what's next". Lastly, I'd recommend this show to anyone who enjoys plot twists and animes that portray the Chaos Theory to a tea.
Both shows are about guys using cellphones to change the future and have really great psychological action/horror scenes that really get you in a stressing atmosphere.
Both series deal with unique takes on time travel and the consequences of changing the past. They both have elements of comedy and romance and both surprised me as they wouldn't normally be shows/movies I'm drawn to.
Both focus on similar themes of time travel, exploring the Butterfly effect caused by the actions of the main characters in the series, and share the same buildup of consequences, from light-hearted developments to drastically affecting the lives of their friends.
Both Animes deal with Time Traveling and its consequences. Both shows try to portrait how one battles against this idea of FATE using the methods of Time Traveling. Both shows have concepts dealing with Tragedy, romance, and comedy and are both masterfully done.
Both revolve around the theme of time travelling and the consequences of it.
On the backdrop they both have a slowly developing romance between the main characters.
About time-travelling and its consequences. Stein's Gate is more focused on the science fiction aspect of time-travelling, while Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is more about using time-travelling as a device of telling us an important life lesson.
Steins;Gate and Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo deal with a very similar concept of misuse of a tool that manipulates time and distorts the future. They both are character based in that the main character is the bond that will ultimately carry you to finishing them and both of these anime contain elements of suspense and comedy with a dash of romance. If you are a fan of any sort of science fiction element involving time travel or likable characters then this entry will certainly satisfy you.
These two anime have two main points in common:
- they are about time travels
- there is a romantic relationship that grows between two characters separated by time-distance
Moreover, there is a general common feeling about the stories and the various characters. Both anime are very very captivating and of the highest level: personally I highly recommend to watch both! ^^
Both stories have a main character who uses time travel for his/her own convenience and ends up dealing with the consequences attached to it. They both also contain a character who has come from the future with a mission to save the future but end up enjoying the past to the extent of it hindering their mission. Towards the endings, the true romantic nature of the animes are revealed as well.
- female play with the time -TOKI-.
- guy play with the time -STEINS-.
-Ofc is not just the same, i mean S;G 26 ep, Toki movie, but the feling is the same.
-After a cupple of events the plot will become darker and the protagonist will start a race to beat the time itself.
-time waits no one-
Lots of time travel and drama with a little romance thrown in as well. Both start off a little slow and get more dramatic and intense as they go. Steins;Gate focuses more on how the time travel works while The Girl Who Leapt Through Time focuses more on it's effects on the world around the person.
Both anime display how playing with time, cause and effect has disastrous consequences. Both display strong lead female characters and light-hearted relationships.
Both focus on drama and love in their second half.
Both's theme is time travel.
The protagonist suddenly gets a power which heshe still not quite used to.
At first the charcters use it for fun and entertainment but eventually they reveal the true cost of this power.
Both animes deal with time travel and the main characters are trying to change the past. Both shows have serious moments mixed with a little bit of comedy and romance. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo can be more shoujo oriented, while Steins;Gate is more thriller, but if you liked one you definitely should try the other.
Time traveling sounds really cool, now doesn't it? You can go through time and change your decisions. But is that really all there is too it? These are two really great entries which explores this factor and what can actually happen if you timetravel too carefree, they also have some romance at the side.
For those individuals that adored Steins;Gate,and have not watch,The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,you my friend are missing a gem in your anime movie collection.This is because both of this anime and movie revolves around the concept of time travel that I truly admire.Both of them are so enjoyable that it's hard to find a dull moment(unless you hate the concept of time travel,of course).
And if you haven't watch Steins;Gate,then watch it right now! Or if you have not watch both of them,boy,you got some serious watching to do. I hope you'll like at least one of them. Also,I hope that I helped at least one individual in this recommendation. Thanks for the quick read. ;Dread more
These anime tackle themes of Time-Travel, and they both seem to hit this very-difficult-to-achieve theme, right on point. They both act on this recent ability to travel through time, in order to save someone who they love; albeit in Toke wo Kakeru Shoujo, its initially used to screw around, while in Steins;Gate its originally used for experimental reasons.. but I digress.
- Travels in time provoke an evil both for the traveler, but even worse for the rest of the others, to be used only by whims, trying to change tragic facts or just things that seemed innocent.
- We have a touch of romance, hidden behind that anguish that brings the trip in time, which is related to the courage it feels to see how everything is getting more and more complicated.
Time traveling and changing the past plays a major role in both anime. Being able to alter simple and mundane events to your favor can seem convenient at first, but what if those small changes lead to something major and unexpected? These two sci-fi anime both keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next.
both about time travel and what can happen if you change the past even slightly.. when the main character uses time travel and learns about it, it felt very similar.
What happens when you suddenly come upon time travel? Do you use it wisely or foolishly? How do your actions affect your family and closest friends? Both works seek to explore these questions while providing some more light-hearted moments as well.
Both series focus on time travel as well as the negative side effects from being reliant on it as well too and also moments of drama in it as well too.
Though the stories are completely different, but they both have two common things, time travel and the consequences of changing the past. Both series/movie have some elements of comedy, romance, drama and sci-fi stuffs.
They both have stories related to time travel with some related parts both are great but you can just the girl who leapt through time if like the movie then make sure to watch steins gate its like 10 times better but if you abosulately hate the movie then you should not watch the series but as i said its like ten times better
The idea that a secret organisation, according to the protagonist, is conspiring against him is a similarity. At the same time both series are perverted and both have a somewhat weird/special female side-character.
The main characters in both series also seems a bit awkward when trying to interact with 'normal' people, yet somewhat like a leader among their own small clique/group of friends (which seems to be a coding guy and the weird girl in both series).
Besides that, they also have in common that reality seems somewhat off or twisted to the protagonist. There might be more, but this is my impression after the first episode of Steins;Gate :)read more
The protagonists in both series believe in the existence of a secret organization that is out there to get them. Both shows display a good balance between comedy and darker themes.
Both anime has an evil Organization and both Male leads is somewhat obsess to it and having delusion about it.. and the female leads also helps the male leads to overcome what's happening both anime has a funny side and serious sides..
In both shows, the male leads suffer from the delusion that a mysterious secret organisation is conspiring against him.
The female leads seem innocent and pure at the first sight, but upon closer inspection they have their own tragic stories to tell.
They are both great, have dark psychological humor, and leave you with a strange feeling of happy depression. In any case, they are both worth watching if you haven't seen either one.
While "Welcome to the NHK" and "Steins;Gate" aren't all similar in overarching plot nor animation style, there is something about the "normality" of the two shows that can't be overlooked.
Both are them are set in a realistic, believable world, without over-the-top characters. Dialogue is witty and sensible, and both start off relatively harmless, but eventually delve into the psychological drama type of anime.
Seto and Okabe are quite alike they both made up a conspiracy theory, they are both awkward to strangers, have a bit of a wrong view on the society and they both have their group where they can be themselves. These series have something big simular in the end but guess if I tell that it is considered spoiling.
and except all of this, these are just 2 big masterpieces.
Both anime have a good balance of comedy and dark themes.
Both protagonist believe in the existence of an "organization"
Both anime also have a lovely, pretty and helpful female leads that the protagonists relies on, and they both have tsundere tendencies as well.
They also have sidekicks who wear glasses.
...and although farfetched, the protagonists are also trying to be successful in creating something ( in SG, find a way back to the Alpha world line; in NHK, to create a video game)
Extremely similar main male leads, both believing in existence of secret organizations that are after them, and both are pretty awkward when it comes to social interactions.
Both anime start out in earlier episodes mainly focused on humor, but slowly shift into darker themes.
The whole time I was watching Steins Gate I couldn't but notice the similarities between it and Welcome to the NHK. This is due to the fact that with very few changes the main characters are identical. In Welcome to the NHK the protagonist is a young man who invents a secret organization similarly to the one in Steins Gate. The characters share the same sense of humour and act in the same overdramatic way when they are trying to conceal their feelings or when they try to act with "normal people". Both of them have social problems, one being a NEET and the other one having been secluded until forming his laboratory. The difference stems from the level of intelligence and interaction with other characters. But even there are other similarities. Pure-hearted Girls and Tech Geniuses. They deal with different themes but both shine because of the very good charactes.read more
Both feature a paranoid MC thinking they were involved in some sort of conspiracy (NHK) and hunted by an evil organization (Steins Gate).
Both anime also have female leads that can understand and empathize with the protagonists and at the same time help them to overcome their problem.
Just like Steins;gate, NHK also starts off rather slow and static. Only starting to pick up the pace in the latter part where things get more serious.
The protagonists believe that they're in a conspiracy, also most of the time they're in a room and many references. A good show can offer you these series.
Delusional otaku protagonists that believe that a secret organization is conspiring against them, with realistic colors and characters designs, and some drama and romance.
-Both have a heavy focus on time travel and similar rules about the past: death being difficult to change, not causing too much of a scene in order to prevent the future from radically changing, etc.
-Both feature some kind of mysterious entity that is clued at to be in the know about the protagonists abilities
-Both have a larger cast of college age characters that don't all know about the protagonists discovery at first but find out more as the story goes on
Both are sci fi suspense mystery stories are focused around the concept of time traveling and what could go wrong, if you mess around with such a thing too.
The concept of time travel where making the wrong decision will have butterfly effects is the same in the two anime also the mystery and plot twists are both very good.
if you loved steins gate then Link Click is the perfect anime for you.
amazing animation and story involved around traveling back in time to correct mistakes, every action here has a consequence and will impact the future, the characters have powers but they also a set of well defined rules that limits them making every power complimentary to each other and not too much OP.
the sound track is a banger
they are both time travel stories that explore the consequences of messing with the past.
while the slow burner start and more complexity of steins;gate makes it the better time travel show, link clicks easy to understand but clever concepts make it by far the easier watch.
they also both involve very clever twist and turns that make you always want to click the next episode.
Both deal with time travel in the same way, both brilliant, the style of storytelling that makes you fill in the blanks in your head, if you pay attention you will be rewarded, and of story, please watch both, do yourself a favour.
Both anime deal with going to the past.
Both anime try to solve problems while going to the past
Both anime use the "big changes in the past lead to big changes in the future" and "meaningless changes in the past converge to the previous outcome (nothing changes)"
Both are good for science fictionish enthusiasts (because it's not 100% fiction, in steins;gate 90% of what is said is true in real life)
Both anime goated <3
Both animes relate to time travel as the main focus.
I think if you liked Steins; Gate then Link Click is a good choice when thinking of other animes to watch! Both have the sense of thrill and mystery.
My personal opinion is that Link Click is much more engaging and is more fast paced than Steins; Gate. However if your in for the long haul Steins; Gate is good too!
ANYWAYS TLDR, both will have you on the edge of your seat :) 10/10 recommend.
Both anime are based on time traveling.
Whereas , Steins ; Gate is a typical time travel and science anime , on the other hand Shiguang Dailiren's concept also consists of going back in time through pictures.
Both are time travel anime (with well crafted time loops) that explore similar philosophies of whether you are truly bound by time; forced to take decisions they don't want to in order to create a better world. While Link Click's story isn't as masterful as Steins;Gate, the tales told are a bit more episodic and can appeal to a different audience. Link Click's use of cliffhangers also keeps a superb job of keeping you glued to the screen throughout several stories and you're really just sitting there at the end of each episode with a surprised pikachu face
Link Click is better than Steins;Gate in a couple of aspects too. Instead of having a slow start, Link Click has one of the most gripping first episodes ever. Its kinda like the same dish as Steins;Gate, but with a different flavour. Link Click is one of the most enjoyable anime I've watched and highly recommend it.read more
Both Tokyo Revengers and Steins;gate have the time travel element
Both have romance concept (Saving your girl)
Both have a great character development
Both of the show are well written with great plot twists
Both of the shows have charismatic characters
in both anime, the protagonist travels back in time to save his loved ones, and faces difficulties. If you like time travel , then I advise you to watch these anime.
Following a "damsel in distress" type of story, but presented in a modern way as it uses fictional scientific concepts to achieve just that. With that said, having some romance concept on a sci-fi show feels unique on its own; however, when one really watches these, then one would find out that there is more to these than what one could expect. Give it a try and see for yourself.
Both Tokyo Revengers and Steins;gate have the time travel element and art both have to save the things they hold dear, they can't take their time either since there is a time limit, the protagonist in Tokyo Revengers has a lot of emotions and is pretty fleshed out I'd say so if you liked that aspect of Steins;gate then that's another thing to add to all of the wonderful takes on why it might be good for you!
- Similar plot structure when it relates to time travel
- Both have heavy emphasis on character development in order to progress themes and plot points
- Heavy emotion in both. If you are a fan of the tragedy, both of these anime should appealing to you.
- Main difference between the two is the tone of everything. Steins;Gate maintains a serious tone throughout, with the only lighthearted parts being the characters actions and speech. Tokyo Revengers juggles a balance between being set in middle school, but also in a gang, which both convey completely different tones. It does manage to do this quite well however, but personally I prefer a little more consistency as it can strengthen the contrast that the characters present as seen in Steins;Gate.read more
Failing to save someone ended up having regrets but sometimes if you save them it will be ended up in a good way but sometimes in a bad way. Recommended to watch them.
Both MC's are kind of similar
Both shows have time travel in it
Both shows have great animation
Both shows are thrillers and work your mind
Both are great shows
The concept of time travelling is nearly the same, whenever they change the past it affects the future
Both of the show are well written with great plot twists
Both of the shows have likable characters
If you like steins gate you will enjoy this too
Even if there are a few differences between these two, they both have that great element of travelling through time and the following consequences. With that I mean the protagonist changes something, goes back to the present and has to deal with the differences by changing stuff to get an "ultimate timleine". (sorry for my bad engllish explanation skills9 I just love these two because it is interesting to see what a minor change in the past can do yknow? AND THE CHARACTERS AHHHH the story of TR in general is outta this world in my opinion, because you suffer with the characters like they were real lol. It is by far my favourite anime yet lol, definitely watch worthy!read more
If you enjoy the time traveling concept, Steins;Gate definitely has a more established plot than Tokyo Revengers. Steins;Gate is however more scientific and technical, but is really one of the best anime ever created.
Minor Spoilers !!
Both have timetravel.
Incase of steins gate they use a microwave but incase of tokyo revengers a mere handshake does the same.
In both of them the changed past alters the memories of people in present (except the mc)
sg is more scientific whereas tr has focused on gang fights
Both Tokyo Revengers and Steins;gate have the time travel element
Both have romance concept (Saving your girl)
Both have a great character development
Both of the show are well written with great plot twists
Both of the shows have charismatic characters
Both animes are about the main characters trying to change the world through unnatural means (Death Note / time travel). The protagonists Light and Okabe are both geniuses, but while Light is a self-confident evil mastermind, Okabe is a good-hearted 'self-proclaimedly mad' scientist with a fair bunch of ridiculous inventions. Both have clever plotlines that will always keep you on attention and at the edge of your seat, wanting to learn more.
Steins;Gate are similar in the way that they both require critical thinking and your absolute attention for a clear understanding of what is really going on. Both these anime"s are dark, though Steins;Gate starts of with a lot of humour.Also, the voice actor of the main characters are indeed the same.
Death Note and Steins Gate are very close in nature, you got the whacked out kind of genius in both series, and both main characters love playing with fire (figuratively speaking). If you're looking for an anime that has psychological thrills and don't feel like watching all of code geass these are some good options.
I am a big fan of animes that require intelligent thinking, whilst the plots are not even similar, they both have a large sense of mystery as well as the ability to engage your mind! Both insanely brilliant animes that you're missing out on if you haven't watched them! Highly recommend on both sides.
Both shows have characters of great intelligence. Both have characters that mess the laws of nature. DN with a god and this Steins;gate with a time machine. Finally, both shows aren't very gory. They show blood on occasion, however it isn't everywhere and their deaths aren't shown. In my own opinion, they are very interesting shows. Each have unique characters that makes the shows what they are, and I enjoyed them.
Both take place in present-day Tokyo and the protagonists of both rely on strategic thinking in order to accomplish their goals, chiefly by discovering and exploiting the rules of their newfound devices. Both also cover similar themes, such as "be careful what you wish for" and the ethical implications of a human having control over supernatural powers (for Death Note, it's whether one should have control over life and death; for Steins;Gate, it's whether one should have control over time).
Ones a little more SciFi, the other is a little more Fantasy. Either way, chances are, if you like Death Note you will like Steins Gate.
Both center around brilliant, eccentric individuals who are tasked with unraveling mysterious occurrences.
Steins Gate is a little more light hearted with more lovable characters; But, both have HIGHLY engaging plots for the curious sleuth or scientist in all of us.
If you like the mind game aspect of Death Note I think you'll love Steins Gate. Bear with the series. This is one serie that starts out extremely slow. But just have faith. It gets really good. The start feels horribly slow, boring and meaningless. But in the end you will get why it's buildt like that. It will all make sense if you have the patience to get through the start. And when I mean start I mean the first 7-8 episodes.
Both are thriller anime with a great deal of suspense and mystery. They both start out with a light almost happy go lucky feeling then everything turns dreadfully..dreadfully wrong. They both have great plot's, and while at first they may actually confuse the other. Higurashi just has a considerably greater amount of gore than steins;gate, but both are excellent watches. IF you like one you will probably like the other too.
Both animes talk about parallel worlds. In either cases, it is about getting out of a vicious cycle of death and murder around a specific plot dimension: While Higurashi suggests to breaking a folk town's curse, Steins;Gate revolves around the creation of a technological device while fighting against an organization's conspiracy. Violence will be involved in both plots, however Higurashi has a tendency to have very gory moments. Steins;Gate will, on the other hand, keep some of its humour around.
Both start with a lot of humor and cute girls making cute sounds (Mayushii's "tuturu" vs Rika's "nipah") until bad things start to happen, very bad things. Both anime are essentially about going back in time, trying to prevent this from happening; thus you will see this bad thing happening over and over again in a different way.
Warning: Higurashi is much more disturbing and gory.
Looking for an anime to blow your mind away? With these two you really can't go wrong. Whether you're looking for an interesting story about time travel that turns darker towards the end (Stein's Gate), or you want to indulge yourself in horror and sadistic torture (Higurashi) that makes you want to keep your eyes open at night, you don't have to look any further. These anime are strong from start to finish and once you find out what's really going on, you'll be intrigued by how well both are put together.
Both have intense realization through the idea of world lines/time travel.
Although Steins Gate is more viewer friendly, Higurashi offers just as good, if not better thrilling experiences.
Without spoiling it, the main characters overcome difficult obstacles to defeat fate.
While Higurashi has darker themes, Steins;Gate is more sci-fi. Both anime, however, include complicated concepts (I can't say what those are without spoiling both.)
While watching you may not think that they're very similar, but when you think about it, they both have similar plots.
If you liked one, you'll probably like the other. Though, Higurashi has a lot more gore.
Concepts about "time traveling" are being noticed in both shows and the characters try to handle it.
These thrillers also start out like comedies, and later takes turns for the worse.
WARNING: Higurashi has violence and gore and isn't acceptable to watch at midnight or a very public place. Unless you're not afraid of it.
They share similar concepts of 'world' and 'time'. Their worlds can be explained using causes&effects law rather than something so superpowered (though there's some supernatural thing in Higurashi).
They're both very much confusing at the beginning, but when things are revealed you'll be mind-blown.
They're both thriller-type in my opinion, although S;G has no horror at all, while Higurashi has full of them.
Just finished Steins;Gate but haven't had enough time looping and tragic suffering? Give Higurashi a shot! It's more of a mystery than Okabe's D-Mail adventure, but every bit as cerebral, leaving you pining for the next episode consistently.
Both are thrillers that will have you guess at every turn. What's happening here? Who am I supposed to trust? Is this character mentally insane? You have to have patience to watch both series, and they're both suspenseful. But all will be revealed in the end, dear viewer, so continue to watch!
And they're both amazing series in my book :)
Both Higurashi and Steins Gate carry this notion of correcting time to create the perfect world. Both the main protagonists have to figure out what keeps making their world go wrong and when sent back in time have to use their accumulated knowledge to predict the best possible solution. In this situation the comparison is between Rika and Okabe, both finding themselves in similar situations bearing a great responsibility to protect their loved ones.
Although Steins;Gate is not as gory and bloody as Higurashi, both have the concept of repeating the same scenes over and over again.
In Steins;Gate the protagonist repeats the same events multiple times to save the people he loves.
In Higurashi, Rika repeats the same events over and over again to try and save the town of Hinomizawa.
Note: This is a recommendation for both seasons of Higurashi
These two shows are similar in the sense that they are both about defying fate to reach a more perfect world. Both shows are placed in a world that have a seemingly unstoppable impending tragedy and the shows revolve around fighting what is said to be "fated." They also include some good humor and a lot of exiting mystery; you will be entertained from the first episode to the last. Both are amazing works and I would highly recommend one if you liked the other.
Both involve a complicated and confusing story that unfolds itself in the end. Both involve redoing the same period of time over and over again(though its repeated more in Higurashi). I thought that Higurashi was more physiological but it doesn't mean Stein's Gate was any less interesting. If you liked one you'll definitely like the other.
Tragedy, frustration and efforts that seem vain are present in both of these series.
The sci-fi/supernatural approach is similar, but they have different plots overall.
The hooks in both series are also simlar, as they build questions and curiosity whenever they have the chance. Pretty much masters of pace.
The stories are very different, but have some significant similarities. Steins;Gate is a sci-fi, while Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is supernatural. In both there are various circumstances which all lead to a terrible ending involving death and destruction.
There are some significant differences between the two anime, including Higurashi having a lot of gore and Steins;Gate having a romance subplot (granted, Higurashi has one to an extent, though it doesn't lead anywhere).
Warning: the following includes Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Higurashi season 1) spoilers
In both anime the main character needs to stop the inevitable destruction of the future by going back in time (in Higurashi's case, the timeline and circumstances slightly change each time) and trying to stop what happens.read more
**POSIBLE SPOILER**
Both deal with time travel in order to save someone and in every time loop, the protagonist discover something about the past of the characters involving him. Also, the two have an unexpected main villain (don't wanna say anything more so I don't give more spoilers...). Also have the rest of the main cast helping the protagonist in order to get their goals, and the same kind of humor.
And the most important!! Both are masterpieces having a well done use of the time-travelling. Worth watching!
-Both revolve around the MC being able to travel to a different timeline multiple times in order to prevent something from happening
-The mix of ups and downs in the story-line makes both of these shows really fun to watch :D
It's difficult to word this well due to spoilers but, These are stories about defeating Fate itself in a really similar way. If you liked how one of them handled things, you might like the other.
Both are incredible stories that flow quite similar one to another. The main characters share the power to go back in time (in Steins;Gate via Sci-Fi, in Higurashi via Fantasy) and are determined to defy fate/destiny. Both present unforgettable and unexpected plot twists that makes you think of any possible future. Higurashi is a lot more violent and gory with scenes that can be hard to watch while Steins;Gate is more of a easy watch kinda.
Since Vivy is an Umehara work, this is an intuitive recommendation.
Despite Steins;Gate's anime adaptation being a completely standalone story, the source material (the VN) is Part 2 of a much longer story known as SciADV. Umehara had written Part 4 (Chaos;Child), who many (including myself) believe to be a masterpiece on par with (if not better than) Steins;Gate. Unfortunately, they adapted 60-70 hours' worth of story into only 14 episodes in the Chaos;Child anime and completely butchered it. By comparison, Steins;Gate was 26-30 hours' worth of story into 24 episodes. Thus, Steins;Gate was the only SciADV VN done justice in anime form.
Vivy gives off serious SciADV vibes, which makes sense considering it was half-written by Umehara. The two series explore some similar themes (such as artificial intelligence and time travel). Thus, if you like Steins;Gate/SciADV, you may like Vivy. If you like Vivy, you may like Steins;Gate.read more
Both include the concept of time travel and trying to fix the world to result in an alternate, ideal universe.
Character's in both anime show distinct characteristics that make them likable and interesting.
Both anime have amazing action scenes without holding back on the bloody scenes.
Vivy's animation style is a lot better as it's been recently released from WIT studio, but only had two episodes so far (as of this writing) as it's currently airing.
- Both revolve around the idea of time-travel and multiple timelines
- The main characters had to go through failures to get to the last outcome, with lessons learned during each timeline
- Enough action/fighting to keep you entertained
You might find one better than the other. Nonetheless, both are pretty fun to watch, especially if you're a fan of sci-fi concepts, particularly time traveling concepts.
Similarities:
>The time-traveling concept used
>The main character has the same goal, although what they have initially aspired for is quite different
>The characteristic of the main antagonist.
Differences:
>Everything about the setting, ambiance, and premise
>Amount of character development
>One doesn't have robots while the other has
They have a similar lore with concept of time travel & technology
Both shows are focused on a person who is trying to change events in order to save the future and protect what's important to them
In both the sci-fi anime our protagonist through time travel want to change the future , both the anime have good animation and sound track , vivy is more action oriented compare to steins gate
Both are time-based anime about trying to save the world break out into a war trust me if you like steins gate you will like Vivi plus it has great animation
The end is very inspired by Steins:Gate episode 23 and time travel will be something that won't ever annoy you. Furthermore, the plot is one of the most original ones in circulation and every episode will be a pulse pounding experience.
The many-worlds interpretation and quantum physics. Not your usual anime bedfellows. Both series deal with time travel under the assumption that every choice we make can create an alternate, divergent time-line / dimension.
Noein is a lot more ambitious than Steins;Gate, which preferred to stay within time travel limited to days-weeks and the same area. In Noein, the other selves of the child cast time travel with enhanced bodies; conversing with their younger selves as they fight using superpowers and struggle to sustain their bodies in a dimension they don't belong in. The future involving an entity known as 'Noein' destroying all alternate dimensions is a clear reality. Steins, on the other hand, shows nothing of its future; just mentioning what happens.
Okabe in Steins uses time travel between time-lines as a sort of... ladder. He has to do such and such to make a number go high enough to change from a few preset futures. Noein differs in its approach since it presents each dimension as an individual one that all lead to doom only because one of the other dimensions is destroying the others. read more
Both anime is about time-travelling and the mechanism is used excellently in both stories. Noein spends a bit more time with the "future" worlds than Steins;Gate does and feels a bit more darker/moody than Steins;Gate because the latter had more funny dialogue. Aside from that, Steins;Gate generally had better characters so expect some differences in characterization (Noein had a younger cast in the present timelines), but character developments in both was quite well done.
Noein is the "kiddo" version of Steins;Gate. Both have time-travel plot, and in both the hero wants desperately to save the girl he loves and his friends from a terrible event and at the same time prevent an horrible future to humanity. Both are a great watch.
Parallel worlds, time travel, convergence, unlimited possible futures, hopelessness, despair, different space-time theories, inability to escape from fate and of course people who (un)willingly screw everything up... They share so many tropes! Even the character design is somewhat similar, although Noein takes more risks, I'd say. It seems to me that Steins;Gate is more otaku-oriented while Noein is more of a slice-of-life and romance. Nonetheless, both anime excel in plot twists and characterization, as well as entertainment value.
Travel through time lines, different dimensions, a continuous struggle for a better future and prevent chaos.
Also in both anime the protagonist struggles to protect the girl he loves and friends that he appreciates.
Both shows depict Time traveling with unlimited possibilities. Both shows that the main character has the ability to view the other timelines.
Noein focuses more on the Dragon Knights from La'cryma (one of Earth's possible future) coming to the present to retrieve an 'object' called 'Dragon Torque' in order to save their world. As the Dragon knights enters into this timeline (the present) by accident, one of the Knights realised that this timeline is very similar to theirs and swore to protect the dragon torque at all costs. The others insists that it is just an illusion and the torque is just a tool, but he swore to not cause damage into this timeline.
Steins;Gate focuses on one group of people who managed to create the worlds first time machine. The main character kept experimenting with it and realises that it can be used to change the past, present, future by sending just an message. He tries to help his friends to change the world into a pleasant world for them when he realises that, for each message that he sents, one of his friend would be killed a day earlier. Whats more, they found out that a few years later, a corporation would use their time machine to rule over the world, turning everybody into human slaves. In order to prevent these from happening, he needs to cause minimal changes onto a world to save his assistant to prevent this incident to occur. Thus he set off going trough crazy amount of time trying to save both people.
Both shows can cause a viewer to be confused although Noein's confusion occurs later in the show compared to Steins;Gate.read more
The two anime share a lot of background concepts, in particular parallel timelines and time travel within the framework of quantum physics. There are some subtle differences in their interpretations of these concepts and they differ quite a lot in their presentation, however they are both excellent, highly recommended sci-fi titles.
Both are Sci-Fi anime dealing with time travel and alternate realities/worlds. However, Steins Gate is the grown-up version of Noein--it does not have the amazing musical score that Noein has, but it definitely has more mature themes. This anime makes you think, while Noein captivates more than anything (though it certainly makes you think too).
Give this anime the first 10 episodes for plot and character development--THEN it gets exciting and addictive. But all of the episodes are beautifully done (acting and artwork are amazing). The artwork stays amazing throughout the whole series--there were probably only a couple of moments when I thought it was less than the best. Highly recommend both anime.read more
Some similarities include:
- Both consider time travel and infinite possible futures.
- Both are incredibly confusing for most of the show, so watch out. They also take a rewatch or two to fully understand (even then, there's still some confusion!).
- Both revolve around relationships with friends, family, lovers, and generally keeping together to reach a greater goal.
Some differences include:
- Noein is more fantasy whereas Steins;Gate tries to be more realistic.
- The art styles and music played throughout the shows are very different.
Both focus on time travel/alternate dimensions (of a sort) and touch on how time lines can be altered based on an incident at a certain point in time. Although Noein is more fantasy based, there are similar concepts which run throughout.
Obviously there are some differences.
Steins;Gate has a lighter and less intense feel than Noein which involves more combat.
Steins;Gate revolves more around a central character trying to advance in science as oppposed to Noein where the science already exists and is more about the control of it.
Whilst they are both unique in their own right, each give a different spin on similar themes .
Steins;Gate's plotline is simple and easy to follow with some clever twists whereas the Noein storyline was a little more complex and a bit deeper.
If you enjoyed Steins;Gate I would recommend you give Noein a try. read more
This movie deals intricately with witty character interaction, good character development, and extremely similar elements of time-travel. The animation and art are both great, and the music will really pull you into the show. There are tense moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and there will be light-hearted moments where you can laugh. Either way, if you watch either, be prepared for one heck of a ride!
Important note:The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is only a movie you can only fully appreciate if you have watched the previous two seasons adapted before it.
Both Anime deals with time-travel, and the MC time-travel many times just so he can fix/save the world/time he came from, both anime starts off normally but it turns NUTS really quick and there's a lot of twist along the way, both series have amazing soundtrack & character art.......
Over all both anime is one of the best anime I ever watched
The plot lines are extremely similar because they follow a lone protagonist struggling through alternate or distorted timelines. Both shows do a great job of portraying the main character's thoughts feelings as they experience this dilemma. Both are brilliant pieces of work and should be watched not only be fans of Steins Gate and Haruhi Suzumiya, but by any fan of anime in general.
The plot of these two anime is very similar. Both deal with time travel and while one deals with other things such as aliens and espers the plot follows remarkably a similar line. This is a movie and you have to see the whole series beforehand. But when you are going to see the movie you will inevitably think of steins gate.
Both Kyon and okabe must bear great burden to make everythings get normal. If you like story about time travel/time leap, I recommend to watch Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu and suzumiya series too.
These masterpiece have a lot of similarities like time traveling, and has one of the biggest plot twist that I have ever watched, if you like some sci-fi that has something to do with time then I recommend you watching this amazing shows.
Did you love Steins;Gate because of how it manages to handle the time-traveling aspect well? Or is it because of the mystery, thriller, and drama present in the story? Then let me present to you a movie that also handles these types of themes/concepts remarkably. "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" manages to achieve the same level of emotional rollercoaster Steins;Gate was able to attain in only 2 hours and 45 minutes. Both shows exhibit the main character forced to struggle in alternate timelines to get everything back to normal. Both are a must-watch and one of the best things this medium has ever produced.
Both ZnT and S;G shares the same fashion of thriller-inducing stories and mysteries. Both stories goes on like nothing is going to happen except for what is already happening (protagonists carrying out terrorism in ZnT/conducting time machine experiments in S;G) while leaving several hints and mysteries for the audience to figure out throughout the story. At some point, both stories has its own plot twist but still shares the same fashion: a conspiracy being responsible for the existence of the plot twist and mysteries that were left unanswered to this point.
Personally I'd recommend this if you enjoy some thriller with storyline that leaves you some mysteries to be thought about.read more
Playing in a cat-and-mouse game, Steins;Gate and Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Tokyo) crafts thriller from the essence of its story. The main characters are intelligent but faces against dangerous adversaries. Throughout both series, there are mysteries unraveled and plot twists that unfold. Tragedy ensures at some turn points as well when we learn more about the the motives of the characters and story. I recommend both series if you are interested in a thriller story with intellect.
The grafics of both animes look the same, even the intros realy look alike. In both animes the main characters work hidden for authorities to achieve their purposes.
Both give you the same calmness vibes and then they make something that will make your heart beat. Must watch series to everybody.
zildoxD
Sci-fi that explores the deep and often dark real-life consequences of common ideas, with a great urban-Japan feel. Excellent writing, beautiful animation, and fun characters.
In the beginning we don't (talking about my opinion) get the story behind this anime.
We need to get to the lasts episodes and finally match all the pieces and then understande the meaning of the all thing and get blown away.
Everething from character development world building resembles between both this animes zankyou no terror is an all time favorite for me so defintly check it out
Same visual style and both have that Shaft-Esque feel in the way they are directed, steins gate is much more on the mystery, thriller side and is also much longer
We have here our main trio of characters in each one there is a mad man usually really enthusiastic about how crazy, experimental or dangerous some experiments must be, we have also our silent, glass user and expert at hacking computers, and also our brainless gril that has a strange love-relationship with the madman, and those groups must defeat a organization, also both shows take some similar dark artstyle whcih helps for the thrilling vibes
Male protagonist who is fighting to save those he loves with the support of those around him. You have to watch the entire anime if you want to unravel the mysteries and get the entire story. These two animes have a lot in common, but I do not want to spoil anything.
The core elements are what obviously link the two animes. Lovely optimistic characters, good story line with dramatic depth twist and humor. Steins gate got it all. Charlotte is good but not as detailed as steins gate is with double the amount of episodes. So if you enjoyed Charlotte you might get a really lucky find with steins gate.
But otherway round also works ;P
Although likely different genres, both shows follow a similar pattern involving a slow, slice of life, buildup with foreshadowing throughout the first few episodes, then picking up in a big way halfway through the show.
Both shows involve saving a loved one, a side (just a bit) of romance (both only at the ending), and some time-travel. Both gave me an emotional rollercoaster, so if you love that kind of stuff then that would be great for you. Pretty cool fictional concepts that aren't too much out of the world.
Steins:Gate focuses on time traveling itself and Charlotte on kids with powers. In Charlotte however is also a little bit attention to time traveling.
What makes these anime similar is that it takes itself a bit serious and that the story is set up as choice driven. Choices made have impact on the story and outcome. Both anime has a rather grim mid episode but end up in a hopeful note.
- Supernatural power/psychological anime
- MC is male protagonist who want to save a girl
- Both MC are so OP
- Slow start, but very intense after middle of the story till the end, so please keep watching!
(But Charlotte is more easy to understand, while Steins;Gate will make you confuse if you watch only 2-3 episodes)
- has some comedy for relaxing (just only the beginning of the story I think)
- cool opening
Recently rewatched Charlotte, and while it won't live up to the hype of Steins;Gate, it is a short show that may help fill the void of being done with Steins;gate. Full of plot twists, suspense, sci-fi, and similar character development, Charlotte is almost like a mini-Steins;Gate.
Main character goes through changes to try to save a loved one and change the world. There are a lot of psychological struggle similarities between the MCs of the two shows as they try to change something that is greater than themselves. There are also some time traveling involved.
This is a combination of:
Steins;Gate
ERASED
Re:Zero
AND A LOT OF HIGURASHI MASSIVE KILLING.
Basically, time loop, mystery, and massive killing.
VERY GOOD SO FAR
Both shows involve time travellers, dark themes, suspense and conflict between time travellers that try to outdo each other by going back in time and changing the past.
-The protagonist has the ability to travel back in time, so as to change what happened in their relative future
-Both these shows handled the 'time-travel' trope in a very professional manner
-Great directing, and character developments in both these shows too
Both of them share the same type of story, in both someone who's important to the protagonist dies and strange things start to happen, using the time as a factor for the story to progress, really goated
It's also a time-travel type anime which deals more with time leaps and loops.
It has the same mystery-solving aspect to it as well.
Though it is more action-packed than Steins; Gate.
Furthermore indulges you right into it from the get-go
- Time travel & time loops to save a loved one
- Realistic & interesting applications of time travel
- Intelligent main character & cast
- Mild fanservice
Steins;Gate is kinda similar to Summertime Render but story plot is different as Summertime shows a boy who got miracle eye that help to back fixed difference time but getting reduced everytime going back while SteinsGate originally come from Game version but mostly scenes cut off fue to very long story, Anyway it shows that Houyin, or nickname Okabe who is typically mad scientist, who interested in going future world that has very little chance to happen like time machine that looked impossible to make work but he denied it is impossible and he met to who he called assistant named Makise Kurisu, a 17 years old girl who credit world renowned about alternative theory of relativity. Both of them created successful time machine in another world line but came back where story started. I cannot explain anymore but you better watch in arranged way
1. Steinsgate(TV shows) Episode 1-22
2. Steinsgate beta missing link
3. Steinsgate 0 full episodes

it contain the same time travel shit . main protagonist visits his home(which is on a small island) after 2 years face some different creatures known as the "shadows" have to figure out about time loop and face shadows in order to change the future he had already experienced the main highlight of this anime is the main protagonist "SHINPEI" he is so frekin smart if you are bored with anime being too cliche like the thing is in front of them but still couldn't able to figure out what is it , or why it is there this is a great choice where the protagonist is super smart and figure out everything at every step .

Both kei and okabe have the ability to cheat the time resets/travels and remember them.
There's also a time machine in both anime, microwave in SG and Haruki in Sagrada.
Both shows have slow starts and get more and more complex with each episode.
Both shows have plot twists.
While SG has some pandering to otaku (trap, meido, tsundere), SR has none of that.
A story were details matter and which do not forget about what happened earlier - these is the main similarity between those two. Both have time travel elements but slightly different.
Steins;Gate is a more typical time travel story, with a machine that can alter the past.
In Sakurada Reset the past is altered thanks to special powers some people have.
Well, so far I only watched the first episode but I managed to notice a few things these two animes have in commom so far:
In both animes, there's the possibity go back into the past.
The special abilities of the MCs are very similar.
Both MCs feel interested about helping others.
Both Shows deal with Time Travel and Despair. One is a movie and one is a series thereby the latter making it longer to reveal the secrets behind time travel. A story about second chances.
Since Steins;Gate is way more known, i'll just say that I definetly felt a Steins;Gate vibe in Seishun Buta Yarou wa Yumemiru Shoujo no Yume wo Minai Movie, the first season of Buta Yarou must be watched before the movie ^^
If you haven't seen Steins;Gate, just go watch it
-Both of them share a similar back-drop - Going to different timelines to change or alter the protagonist's relative present
-Some scenes will leave you in denial, which is a good thing when watching a show of this sort
-If you enjoyed the premise of either, you'll enjoy the other show too :)
It has a very similar plot line with a main character having to use time travel to save the people he cares about. Similar themes of grief and dealing with loss are touched on. Keep in mind this is a sequel and requires watching the original series.
Both of these anime have the main character wondering to themselves which of two people they must save. They know that even if they manage to save one person, it's painful to lose the other, and they must find some way to save both of them. This can include making decisions that have big risks, losing memories, and possibly not meeting someone in the first place. They will do whatever it takes to make sure that everyone is happy in the end.
Without spoiling steins gate, both shows have a main character while fully being aware of the weird things that have been happening around them, they both have a female figure that supports them throughout the series, and especially in the movie they both delve into the theme of time travel o alter a tragic future...
- Time-travel theme, although through different ways (but both address the parallel universes theory);
- Both animes have their MC trying to change the past in order to save their loved ones;
- Strong bonds and comradeship in a group of friends.
Same basis, different execution.
Two series that explore theories of travel in time - especially if they are from the past - (Orange in a simple way and Steins; Gate in a more complex way). The two touch the subject, that the messages to the past exist, will create some change, and how they were sent. Just as these messages have meanings to avoid events of the past that mark the lives of people. At the beginning is the protagonist against these events that will mark inside her and the people around her/he, then her acquaintances will be involved trying to change the future without anyone being hurt.read more
Same director, and there's the same theory of time travel.
They both have romance, but;
> Steins;gate is heavily focused on Okabe's journey to save himself, Makise Kurisu, his friends, and (the rest of the world).
> On the other hand, Orange is focused on Naho's (Main character) redemption of her past self, and also preventing Kakeru (their friend) from taking his own life in being a part of an accident.
Both have decent plots and provides a rollercoaster of emotions for the viewers.
[A small spoiler
================= Even Okarin (Okabe Rintarou) makes a
================= special appearance in in a different body,
================= explaining the time-travel theory.]
They are both about sending letters from the future to the past and changing the past. Their ideas and stories are really nice because they are about powers, and time traveling, although I do not think that the anime orange used this nice ideas as good as they were used and focused in the anime steins gate. This anime is also like relife but not as good as relife.
Orange and Steins;Gate both express the concept of time travel and the consequences that can come with it. The main characters want to change the past and leap for a better future, but they know that there are many slight things that can drastically change the future when you try to change the past. However, with the help of their friends, they find that they won't have to bear this responsibility alone.
Two mad scientists who are looking to save the world or make it a better place for everyone, both use different means to achieve this, containing rivals with completely different or opposite goals.
Both animes focus on scientific solutions and the main character is a huge fan of science. They both achieve almost impossible targets. Instead of adding a lot of science fiction, they have shown almost legimate scientific steps.
So if you are a science geek and liked Dr. Stone, you should absolutely watch Steins; Gate.
Who enjoys those anime the most?
The anseres seems so easy yet so hard, knowledge in general is what people have been seeking since the birth of society its an human instinct to lern new stuff and solve proplem after problem.
Throughout the story this is what keeps you sticking to them.
Lets be real who doesnt enjoy watching genius people solving problems.
If you liked Steins Gate I'd recommend watching Dr.Stone they're both really good Sci-Fi Anime, though Steins Gate might be a little tricky Dr.stone focuses mainly focuses on real-life problems that might happen and real-life solutions as for Steins Gate the anime focuses on time travel which isn't something humans can do in real-life, at least not yet I think in my opinion (lol). Both anime make references to things that exist and happened in real-life so I hundred percent recommend giving it a watch.
Amazing science built stories with out of the ordinary (mad scientists) MC. Very funny and interesting, we progressively understand the mysterious event that started the plot.
Durarara!! and Steins;Gate share quite a few interesting themes:
* Both start off with a slow paced "slice of life" ambience that, very subtly, foreshadows the following...
* ...Jump into a neatly intertwined plot.
* Insane characters;
* Norse Mythology references;
* A sprinkle of metaphysics: Time Travel (in Steins;Gate) and Norse Myth Fairies (in Durarara!!).
If you liked any of these aspects in one series, you'll most likely also enjoy the other.
Also, there's the "same voice actor" bonus: Mamoru Miyano and Hana Kanazawa.
Well, at first glance, you don't see much similarity between these two as both series starts out with an almost slice-of-life like scenario. However...
- Both later gets into complex plots
- Both have suspense and thriller like scenarios
- Both have comedy and drama
- Both have darker tone of the story as the episodes progresses
All in all, you will enjoy both of these series. At least, I hope.
They both have the same investigative type feel dealing with fictional topics like time travel or mystical creatures. If you liked one you'll probably like the other
Both shows start off very slow paced, but eventually builds up to an intense plot. Although the plot is completely different, they both gave off a similar vibe. There is a lot of suspense and unexpected plot turns.
Both can at turns feel like a slice of life series, but splice in more compelling narratives that keeps you engaged. Also the settings (contemporary urban Japan), make the atmosphere feel similar in both.
Its about changing time/fate to save some one soo dear even if it means sacrificing oneself. So many twist keeps u on the edge of your sit every episode and story lines changes so you dont even know whats going one even when you thought you just had, it.
Both Amazing animes.
Mawaru Penguindrum is more of an acquired taste than Steins Gate and it won't appeal to everyone, but both deal with themes about:
- Love (Family, Friendship, Romantic and even obsessions), and the lengths people would be willing to go for a loved one
- Fate and changing fate
- Grief, death and self-sacrifice.
Both start out quite light-hearted and then all of a sudden become serious, both have a good drama element which will leave you wanting to watch more and both have twists in the plot that keep you interested until the end.
my recommendation is not like "oh the main character of this anime has a blue hair and in this anime, the main character also has a blue hair". My recommendation is more deeper than this. In this anime the brothers were using the power to change time and people's destinies to fulfill their selfish needs and just like this anime, In Stains;Gate, the main character also uses the power to change time and people's destinies to fulfill his selfish needs whether it's good or bad. If you liked the Mystery side of this anime than stains;gate is not really for you, but if you liked how science was used and how dark the anime was or how the brothers were trying to save their sister than this anime Stains;Gate is definitly for you! because guess what? the main character of Stains;Gate is ALSO trying to save two ppl that he loves so...watch this to see HIS version of trying to save someone using time :Dread more
The essential 'flavour' of both anime is similar. They are both a confused and uncertain search for answers and exploration into the less well-understood. The manner of plot revelation is also similar, considering their timing and intensity.
The main difference between them is that Mawaru Penguindrum is a more abstract, idealistic take on the above.
similarities in both anime:
-have many plot twists.
-the theme is rather dark.
-since there are many mysteries in both anime, I think the audiences need high concentration while watching those.
Both revolve around main characters trying to save a girl, in this instance, their sister. Both include many twists and turns in the plot that don't take away from the main storyline, and also have a deep tone of "If you watch the first episode, many random things will happen, but if you watch it all the way through, then you'll understand everything.
Both stories have a slight mystery element to them. They are both cleverly written with events that will shock you.
Both series start out light hearted before becoming dark and sad.
The art style to Mawaru Penguindrum is brighter and more colourful than Steins;Gate but I'm sure most people will enjoy it because it is beautiful.
In Steins;Gate, the main protagonist will do anything to save someone he loves.
The two brothers in Penguindrum will do anything to save their sister.
Both series superficially focus on conspiracies involving shadowy organisations and mobile phones, but are actually most memorable for their eccentric and charming protagonists, excellent humour, entertaining central romances, a strong sense of interaction between the cast and fat shut-in hackers.
Steins;Gate is a soft science fiction story about an ensemble cast who's recently discovered a wonderful invention, leading to trouble both with their own use of the device, and trouble with an intervening government body.
Both shows feature a similar group of characters and the viewer is slowly threaded along the plot until everything is revealed in the very end, and the basic premises are very alike. Both series implore the same sort of attention from the viewer, and are very alike thematically. They are also alike due to their lack of action scenes and the subtle/nuanced romance being slowly developed throughout the course of the show. read more
Both of these series contain a great sense of mystery and suspense that leaves you constantly wanting to see more, while also having nice touches of romance along the way.
Both revolve around how the prominence of new technology can change the course of the world for good or for bad. The issue of memory loss as a result of this technology also occurs in both of these animes. Steins;Gate is more sci-fi/time travel though.
The story follows a similar group of characters, whose actions get the attention of a mysterious and shadowy organization. Although the plot is different (Eden of the East is not about time travelling), both animes have eccentric main characters, good humor, a subtle and nicely paced romance, hackers, neets and the same feeling of suspense and mystery. Also, both animes are obsessed with cellphones.
These series both have quite an enigmatic tone, and have similar styles of humor and characters. Though taking place in a realistic world, both protagonists are eccentric, smart, and surprisingly selfless, obtaining cellphone-related power that they must use for the good of the world and those around them. Indirectly fighting for the future of mankind against shadowy organizations and conspiracy. All while a group of fun and skilled friends help, though not always knowing what's going on.
Both has the same Visual Novel Company and it makes Science Fiction very realistic. A little bit fun in the first, but it will be getting very serious about the story and it can make you believe what will happen in the future.
both animes give you a sort of "ah ha!" feeling at points as you figure out what is going on in the plot. also both of these are based on visual novels made by 5pb and nitroplus.
on top of they they both give off a feeling of friends coming together to work on something
They both have a similar plotline with both hidden conspiracies and sci-fi elements. plus it's the third of a series of sci-fi games created by 5pb/nitro+ which also includes Steins;gate.
Both are sci-fi anime based off visual novels made by the same companies and are set in the same universe. Both are also very slow-paced in the first half but speed up in the second.
The overall stories are very different from one another (one deals with time-travel while the other deals with robots), though the similarities are most obvious in the two lead characters- Akiho and Kaito are essentially a gender-flipped Okabe and Kurisu.
Basically, if you liked Robotics;Notes at all, you will definitely like Steins;Gate.
S;G and R;N are practically identical in structure, which is no surprise as they both originate from the same author. Both anime start particularly slow, before building up to a grand climax. Both anime also have a well developed romance between the main heroine and the protagonist. Lastly, both anime have a scientific theme to them which is given by both being adaptions of the Science Adventure universe.
S;G differs with it's scientific theme of time travel, unlike R;N scientific theme of building a giant robot. S;G also is more story driven with a more exciting plot, while R;N performs much better with it's characterisation and character development.read more
It is set in the same universe, 10 years after Steins;Gate and it has an intriguing plot. There are mild references to Steins;Gate and they really put a smile on your face. The committee of 300 return as the main villain and Nae (Mr Braun's Daughter) makes an appearance as an important character.
Overall it is a very entertaining show with lots of twists to keep you hooked.
Robotic Notes is not really that similar but there made by the same creator.The main characters kind of dull but the supporting cast makes up for it also I think you should watch/play it because characters from steins gate return and just as a steins gate fan its cool to see previous characters come back in the world you just watch hououin kyouma save from ww111 Sorry for this being horrible I didn't know I had to write a essay about why there similar and the differences
It has a time travel pseudo-science feel and is a sorta slice of life anime with a plot if that makes sense. The jokes are similar and ITS GOT A REDHEAD IN IT!
As I make this recommendation, I am referring to each series as a whole. Both animes have an interesting and complex plot. Both are science fiction, and involve time travel as a major part of the plot.
This movie deals intricately with witty character interaction, good character development, and extremely similar elements of time-travel. The animation and art are both great, and the music will really pull you into the show. There are tense moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and there will be light-hearted moments where you can laugh. Either way, if you watch either, be prepared for one heck of a ride!
Important note:The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is only a movie you can only fully appreciate if you have watched the previous two seasons adapted before it.
The main similarity of the two series lies in the main character and their connection to the characters around them. Both Haruhi and Kyouma are eccentric, loud, and drag their friends into untold mysterious operations. And while the friends outwardly complain, they would not have it any other way.
if you're into time travel and tsundere girls, you'll love Haruhi and Kurisu both tsundere cute as ever. both about time travel and a group doing random things together, having a bold story line with funny and likeable charters. ost are great in both animes
YU-NO was originally a 1996 visual novel, and was the grandfather of modern time-travel anime and visual novels. Steins Gate in particular was greatly influenced by YU-NO.
Both involve time-travel and parallel-universes, and give scientific explanations behind it, and involve the protagonist attempting to save someone using time-travel.
Both anime are based on amazing time travel visual novels where the main characters obtain the power to travel back in time to save their friends from a cruel fate. Both anime use a time travel mechanism based on parallel worlds which makes sure no time paradoxes occur. Time travel in SG is based more on science, while YUNO has more mystery. In SG the main characters are all teens, while YUNO has more women of which some also are teachers.
Pretty similar stories/settings. Both male MCs have a device that can be used to travel through time or through parallel worlds/timelines. Also, they are both trying to save/help those precious to them.
Both includes the time travelling and parallel worlds. Both have similar scenario where the main character time travels in order save their love ones. S;G is more on science, and YU-NO is more on fantasy.
Steins;Gate is about time travelling, leaping back in time again, again, again, again... just to save your loved ones. YUNO also did this concept. Although it became an isekai later on, the main theme was about time leaping and saving people around the mc. The characters are very similar as well.
Both anime have time travel theme, but one is time traveling to correct/bring back to original what shouldn't have been done while another time traveling which leads to the current state. Which is which is for you to find out.
Both have a cast of strong leads(although Steins;gate gets the edge in character interaction), are thought-provoking with a very intricate and well-thought out plot, in the middle of which the lives of certain characters are ended, serving as a driving force for others, an overreaching power as a villain which the cast does not know about immediately and oh, both involve time as an important part of the plot. Also, The two have certain plot holes too you will have to overlook but if you can ignore the ones in Steins;gate, you won't mind the ones in ZnT, and vice versa.
This one of my favourites animes.
The history it's very, very, very, good, amazing, it has got a lot of intrigue (well, I think that, it's my opinion) and a little of comedy, but mainly, is serious and well, I really recommend it a lot. It has got an OVA and a movie. The visual novel is very good too.
Not many seem to relate these two, but I think besides Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, "Zetsuen no Tempest" is very similar to Steins;Gate because both portray a Well-Devised Plot and Sense of Complication. No further spoilers. Watch to find out! It's worth it! :P
Steins;Gate has things covered in terms of accidental discoveries that has gigantic potentials in disrupting the flow of the world's natural time. Just like Zetsuen no Tempest, Steins Gate focuses on the unexplainable mystery of the world while trying to go against it and return the world back to the way it is.
Both have the same strange and eerie atmosphere, although Lain is decidedly stranger. Lain is not about time travel, but it has the same "Matrix" feel to it. They are both crazy good, and Lain hits the ground running while Steins;Gate started a bit slower. Lain is a must watch.
Steins;Gate has a more traditional narrative structure compared to Serial Experiments Lain, but there are some notable similarities. Firstly, the cinematography and mise-en-scene of Steins;Gate takes great influence from Serial Experiments Lain (notably in terms of lighting and sound). Beyond that, both shows explore humanity's relationship with technology in science fiction terms.
maybe this is most similar on the list but few comment, both have similar atmosphere dark urban, both great sci-fi animes, serial lain is more dark and confusing theme about reality and virtual reality (wired) and its consequences, steins;gates has more focus on time travel and consequence about change destiny, both MC is become emotionally unstable after while, steins;gates had great influence from serial experiments lain,for me the most similar of all those here on the list that i watched, and i watched them all
If you want anime that will make you question everything you know, make you think till your head hurts, and cause you chest pains from the stress of watching, look no further than Steins;Gate and Serial Experiments Lain.
They both are unforgettable journeys and masterpieces. Steins;Gate deals with time travel, philosophy and the consequences of playing God with time travel. Serial Experiments Lain deals with how technology has essentially become reality itself, its philosophy, and how it influences every facet of yourself and humanity.
Steins;Gate contains ideas and characters similar to Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete.
Character-wise, both shows maintain similar casts. Besides the main character, there's the male, slightly weird best friend, the childhood friend that the MC wants to protect/save, the tsundere that's in love with the MC, and a time traveller desperately trying to alter the future.
With regards to plot, both deal with Time Travel.
I would recommend Steins;Gate to anyone who enjoyed Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete, but Steins;Gate is infinitely better, and would likely leave a watcher going the other way unsatisfied.
Both of the anime is about time travel and explains its theory in detail. Their own concept of time travel are interesting.
Both anime has characters that desperately try to save someone by going through countless time loops.
Both use the concept of different possibilities or realities really well.
Steins;Gate is a bit more straightforward sci-fi.
The Tatami Galaxy is more surreal. And strange.
There are multiple time lines, and the main character is currently in the wrong attractor field (where the bad ending always happens) and trying to get to the right one (where he is happy). Also, the main character of Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei sort-of gets Reading Steiner.
Jumps in the time where each creates a parallel world, where the protagonist is the great affected, but their relationships are not affected by this change. They still exist despite being parallel worlds.
The protagonist tries to reach his goal. In Tatami Galaxy this goal is simply to have a color pink life and in Steins;Gate, it is to stop an alleged conspiracy. The issue is how hard it is to get there by shedding their bucles or mental revelations.
The story works with multiple possibilities of "what ifs" through time and space, and the protagonist is a paranoid young man. Tatami is way more experimental though. Both share a cast that is in college.
Are you ready for more timeline shenanigans? Steins;Gate is a more mature series than Kimi no Na wa, but both feature organic relationships between characters - both romantic and platonic - as well as a deceptively pleasant start.
Steins;Gate is a 24 episode series while Kimi no Na wa is a movie, and so the common plot point of time travel is fleshed out a lot more in Steins;Gate.
However, it is the relationships between the main characters across both titles that create the strong emotions that keep people coming back to these two titles.
Steins Gate and Your Name both mainly rely on the feeling of "longing" the kind you feel after a particularly good dream or about the one person that "got away" to build tension and maximize emotional pay off.
They also both start slow to capture the audience's imagination and allow time for us to attach ourselves to the small cast within the story
Makoto Shinkai's thematic exploration of "distance" and the romantic conflict that comes from distance shows up prominently in Steins Gate as well to build HIGH drama and lets just say Steins Gate isn't one of the highest rated anime out there for nothing
and yes trains do show up to serve as a metaphor for separation as well
hella worth checking outread more
Both animes are hard to follow,in which Steins;Gate exceeds with its amazing story.Although Chaos;Head "talks" about murders the design of its story is really similar to Stein;Gate but the way how its presented(in my opinion) is kinda stupid.
When talking about MCs,they are delusioned in their believes but also really inteligent when it comes to solving the mysteries.
While Steins;Gate is definitely the superior anime here, Chaos Head gives the watcher that feeling of confusion and messes with his or her head pretty seriously. One of Steins;Gate's strengths was keeping the watcher out of the loop while its crazy time/space changing events took place, Chaos Head also hits the nail on the head here. A lot like Steins;Gate, Chaos Head can be rather difficult to watch at times with its weaving through dimensions and time. If you are slower with subs, or have not watched a lot of subbed anime I would HIGHLY recommend watching the dub of this anime. The voice actors are fairly decent and unlike some anime, this dub is definitely watchable and does not take away from the anime as a whole. In short, if you are looking for an anime that can bend your mind like Steins;Gate did, give Chaos Head a shot. (Excuse the art which can be rough at times).read more
These two anime's share a similar resemblance not in plot or story, but in the way occurrences happen mainly on a cellphone or on a computer. And how the main characters needs to solve each piece to the "puzzle" if you will, as they go along and must rely solely on him self. Both main characters feel utterly alone at certain part of the show. There are some more similarities, that are to minor to mention.
What is time? What is the universe? Because all this happens to me? The mere fact of a curiosity, leads our protagonists to a world that seems impossible to believe. Where there are lines of time, space that should not be crossed, that will put at risk their closest beings. He will have to fight his weaknesses, with this constant mental game that makes him look like a madman, desperate to find answers to his intriguers. These series start in a similar way, the death of a person, which turns out to be a vision ?, or can be true ?, it all depends where you are. There is also an organization that is interested in our protagonists, since they are always present in the strange happenings that happen in the city.read more
The settings are definitly different and at a first glance it may not seem that they are similar. They are both humouristic and have a nice feeling to them, but in both shows there are some events that puts the main characters on the edge and the story becomes a bit more complicated and darker. There are supernatural elements but both shows focus on the relationships between the characters and how they develop and deepens through out.
They're different, but the feeling you have after a certain awesomesadfunnycrazy moment in either one of them, now THAT is very much alike. Actually these series will flood you with so many different feelings that you'll find yourself confused at times.. BUT there is one feeling that I remembered experiencing a lot while watching these two, and that is <frustration>. BUT again, it was worth it.
A group of friends, consisting primarily of 2 guys and multiple girls, deal with strange phenomena. In Kokoro Connect it's supernatural effects that start with personality-swapping. In Steins;Gate it's standard science fiction fare with teleportation/time travel.
Both are darker and more serious than they first seem.
Both are more character-driven than plot-driven.
Both are excellent anime that put their own spin on their respective genres (slice-of-life, science fiction).
Both are very emotional series about a group of people trying to deal with a major problem at hand.
Kokoro Connect deals more with social and mental issues while Steins;Gate deals with more worldly issues.
They have a small group of people trying to deal with supernatural phenomenon. Kokoro connect has a more romantic feel to it, and Steins;Gate has a more sci-fi feel.
Both anime are dark/realistc style, with good characters and some mistery.
one is about time machine and the other about the mafia above the security system.
The worlds of Psycho-Pass and Steins;Gate are both science fiction worlds which each seems relatively realistic. They are also more serious with little or no comedy and have very good character development
Both series are psychological thrillers that have rewarding payoffs as the series progresses. in both series, there is a greater system/organisation that has a secret that is slowly discovered as the series progresses.
These animes give a strong feeling of love between two people, as well as the love in a friendship. So strong in fact that this love makes the characters overcome obstacles with it. At the end I guess they are just both very moving.
firstly I just have to say you should obviously watch Clannad first before you watch the after-story.
-Clannad after story and steins;gate are light- hearted and happy at the start
- however they then gradually get more and more dramatic until you are practically on the floor crying your eyes out
-the endings are brilliant and make you feel completely satisfied with life
-Both have drama
-Both have romance
-Both have the main character thrown into serious depression because of the loss of another
At first this may seem like a weird recommendation, but I know a lot of Steins;Gate fans who love Clannad, and vise versa
Both share a main character blessed (or cursed) with a special power. Allowing them to change the world. Or try to... Awesome soundtrack, character development, an impossible romance, lots of plot twists, incredible seiyus (voiceovers). In the end you can't stop watching this after 4-5 episodes, you're hooked and need to finish it off =)
Perhaps not the most obvious recommendation, those who appreciate an interesting concept spearheaded by an ultra-charismatic lead character will probably appreciate Code Geass and Steins;Gate. Both shows, while having several flaws, are probably the two best examples of an anime riding its narrative momentum to sail above their shortcomings. They are not the same in their concepts, but they are very similar in their goals regarding the impact it looks to have on the viewer.
Both are very exciting anime, with lots of plot-twists, well-made and rich stories, great voice acting and lots of thrills.
In Steins;Gate you get to see time-travel and all its effects on the human mind and its possibilities.
While in Code Geass you see the ambition of a young man who gets the power to command anyone to do anything and manages to create an uprising against an empire (Britannia).
Although Code Geass picks up immediately and it's engaging from the start, Steins; Gate manages to chill the viewer as you advance to the ending. Some are relatively unaffected by the plot behind Steins Gate due to the resentment caused by some of the "theories", which are held to be true in the anime + they also abhor simplicity of the plot for those who are connoisseurs in the effects of altering not only the past but the future. Nevertheless, I would think that many would enjoy how intricate the plot is - relative to most anime. I especially enjoyed steins; gate due to its incorporation of the principle of how space-time is primarily affected by what you think, perhaps even an apparition. The level at which the anime operates is similar to how Lelouch operates in its plots, albeit on a more profound level. In no way am I saying that I honestly know what I'm talking about, but this is my first review, and I just wanted people who haven't started steins;gate yet to realize why it's regarded as such a good anime.read more
Both stories are sci fi themed and share arrogant male leads in them and also the consequences of power too in the wrong hands and fighting against a corrupt institution too.
This recomendation is made specifically for those looking for any and every Anime dealing with time travel. I prefer Seikimatsu, but each series has its own charm and own take on the whole matter. One is also more supernatural then the other, where as the one that is less simply deals with time travel. The characters I think are the best part of poth, as they have characters who are quite gripping.
Both of them has to do with time travel.Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin have failed to meet my expectations while Steins;Gate suceeded in meeting my expectations.
Both series revolve round a guy who has to time travel and ends up saving the world. While the lead male in SOA is a bit of a whimp, the male lead in Steins gate is a real freak who deliberately calls himself a mad scientist and tries to act according to fit the image of it. Though the male leads differ from eachother, they are both strongly connected to the female main character wich are both a bit of the tsundere types.
SOG has a lot more supernatural in it, while Steins gate is scifi. Both series have a lot of comedy, though Steins gate turns a whole lot more serious and dark half through. I absolutely enjoyed both series and think others will too.read more
Occultic; Nine and Steins; Gate. Two series that show us two protagonists who are looking for some recognition of their own, on the point of the work they have been doing (in O; N is a magazine about the paranormal and in S; G are the inventions). But they are not alone, they have the cheerful girl of the group that seems not to contribute much and the next characters that are added to occur strange events. Those strange happenings since the protagonists be witnesses death, of what his investigation may be taking them, at first is a triumph for him, but then they discover that as they is investigating more on the subject, they will be involved in greater problems. Both series contain a certain possibility of what may be true, which science has not been able to discover, and which now has been possible after a long time, leaving injuries in the protagonist and in those who connect with the events.read more
Directly from the same franchise, it's time to compare Visual Novel with Light Novel.
- Both shows constitute Mysteries involving conspiracy theories that, ironically, come true with the progression of the narrative and contain a high content of explanations about the Sci-Fi that governs the main plot. This fiction, both in Steins;Gate and in Occultic;Nine, is also of a similar nature, starting from concepts of classical and modern physics and addressing synchronization between parallel universes. In Steins;Gate, however, the theories cover the form and manipulation of Chronos, while in Occultic;Nine they are more focused on the nature of the Animus, the soul.
- Coming from the same creators, both works share the narrative style. Initially, there will be a friendly atmosphere, references to otaku culture and characters with a certain charisma. However, as the plot progresses, the atmosphere becomes more serious and several details that seemed unimportant make sense in the explanations or reveal themselves as foreshadowing. It can be said that both are "puzzles" for those who watch, connecting their details at the end. However, the pacing is quite contrasting between the two shows, as Occultic;Nine already changes its nature to the first episode and has dialogues, at times, very accelerated, while Steins;Gate is slower.
- Although this term cannot be applied very well in the case of Steins;Gate, both works are drawn in an achronological order. Occultic;Nine, especially in the first few episodes, wanders between different flashbacks and events that precede the anime's first scene, which can be difficult to understand for those who aren't aware of it. Steins;Gate, on the other hand, constitutes a narrative of time travel, repeating several scenes and linking time loops in its script.
- Some characters may look familiar when watching both animes. Yuta Gamon and Rintarou Okabe, for example, are protagonists who own small groups that seek advancement in a certain department. In this case, Okarin founds the laboratory for time travel experiments and to bring his aspirations to life as the mad scientist Hououin Kyouma, while Gamotan underestimates the occult and spends time in a cafe managing his paranormal refutation website, Kiri Kiri Basara. Ryoka and Mayuri are also similar when it comes to "Dere" and "Airhead" personality traits.
- Being part of the ";" franchise, there are hidden references in Occultic;Nine that may be noticed by fans, such as the use of the expressions "El Psy Kongroo" and acronym nicknames formed between first and last names, such as "Gamotan" and "Okarin". Kanako Itou is also present as responsible for the opening music in both projects.read more
Steins;Gate and Occultic;Nine have plenty of similarities, despite being based on two completely different aspects: science research and paranormal activities. In both shows something that our main characters can't understand at first happens, farther both series are based on investigating the strange phenomena. Moreover both are a mixture of drama and comedy, alternating heart breaking and funny moments.
fun fact: an occultic;9 character makes numerous references to steins;gate itself.
both are Sci-Fi and mystery.
both have something to do with gadgets like television in persona 4 and in moblie phone Steins;Gate .
both are based on games.
both have a girl partner besides them.
both have mysterious or dark atmosphere.
both have same feelings and excitement while watching.
Both series are based off games that imo, are performed quite well.
In both anime(s), there is sci-fi elements containing themes of comedy, drama, and thriller. Of course, the plot deepens as the episodes progresses.
The characters also distinct themselves by having certain phsyical apperances such as the exclusive lab codes in Steins;Gate and the trademark glasses in Persona Four. Both of these series are great for some sci-fi fun of 2011.
Both have similar feels, dark atmosphere, and mysterious city theme.
Both focused on a group who tried to solve the mysteries, and they always get a new member everytime they solved a mystery.
If you enjoyed one, you might like the other.
Both stories feature unusual and strange mystery storylines with an eccentric cast of young adults and a dark atmosphere to them as well as a trippy and edgy artstyle and animation included.
The protagonist travels through time repeating the same moments to help a loved one. It is an internal struggle of your feelings and what is right for everyone.
In my opinion, this movie is similar to Steins; Gate because Uchiage Hanabi is based on chaos theory (search it in Google for more information) Steins; Gate is based on the butterfly effect, a concept of chaos theory. therefore they are similar.
And Steins;Gate have romance. The protagonist have the chance to modify something in the past.
The TV season followed by the movie tells a story of teenagers / young adults solving personal issues which develop into supernatural phenomena. The adventure taken along solving these problems has a similar feeling to Okabe's journey through realities, facing the personal struggles of his lab members.
These two shows are in a unique subgenre of their own.
"Time" is what's similar between these two. Steins;Gate is more of a science anime that focus on time travel in which the anime uses physical and supernatural means for time travel whereas Bunny Girl Senpai is more of a supernatural anime where the supernatural phenomenon and time itself, are two of the factors that build up the story. Both anime have an amazing story but Steins;Gate seems to be much more compelling objectively. They also possess emotional moments along with natural fanservice. If you're looking for compelling plots, I suggest these two anime.
Ookami to Koushinryou (Spice and Wolf) and Steins;Gate are similar in being both serious and humorous at times followed by the growing bond of relationships and the troubling events that follow.
-Highly intellectual in many ways.
-Intriguingly able to keep you on your toes at all times with suspense.
-Both explain what's going on well so that the watcher doesn't lose track of what's going on even though things can get chaotic.
-One is about time travel and the other economics, but the plot in both can get very thick.
Spice and wolf is very good if a big part of what you liked about Stein's gate was the Romance and banter between the male and female leads and vice versa. Thier setting are very different (medieval Europe and modern Japan) as is what drives thier plot (economics or time travel) not to mention that spice & wolf more has a few very short arcs connected by the journey of it's leads than a main plot unlike Stein's gate. The banter and slow developing romance between the two leads are very charming and funny though (Spice and Wolf and Stein's gate are rivals for me for anime with best banter) and the association between the leads in both shows is reinforced to me at least by the male MC's sharing the same english voice actor (Lawrence and Okabe). Oh and a lot of the plots in the show are about medieval mercentile economics, don't worry too much if you have difficulty following that stuff as you should still enjoy it (I did).read more
Both are about time travel, though the principle through which they occur are slightly different.
Also, when the time travel happens, events become slightly different. The protagonist and one other person also retains their memories from the previous times they "travelled" back. In steins;gate, this is shown in the World-line shifts when d-mails are sent. (not when okabe actually travels back further in time), and in Amnesia, it just happens when the main character is in some sort of danger.
Though, Steins;Gate is more content-driven than Amnesia.
If you like stories where people move to different worlds and travel through time over and over again to save a dear friend, where the plot takes unexpected twists and turns, then Steins;Gate and Amnesia are exactly what you're looking for.
*side note Steins;Gate is the more mature and plot-driven one out of the two.
They both have parallel timelines involved, the main-characters have to re-live a certain time more than once, each time getting involved with one of their friends. Both are partly harem-type.
Steins Gate is about a young man, who tries finding the way to save his friend.
In Amnesia the main-character girl does not have the control when to retry, and she does not wish to reach a certain ending. Instead, it seems to have a mystic plot.
Both Series start of small but will lead to something grand in the end.
Both Series are set in a Urban Setting.
Both Series make you think a lot while watching them.
Both are focused on human psychology as well as personality and tackle original subjects, and have a secret organization, as well as a similar psychological thriller vibe, in addition they are both cult for their basic supports, both also deal with human experiences and a form of manipulation
Let's play the both game! Both:
Are based on video novel games
Are in the top 5 rated shows on the site (I'm talking about after story but that's Clannad to)
Are psuedo harems where the winner is pretty much clear from the beginning
Feature some altered timeline mumbo jumbo (Although in very different ways)
Have a slow start but likeable characters that suck you in
The difference starts to become clear after you've gotten to know the characters, these are very different series in almost every way. The main difference is that while Steins;Gate makes you feel miserable and very good and everything inbetween it does more of making you feel good and being funny than it does making you feel miserable. Clannad is basically that but inverted, most people cry when they watch Clannad but that same group of people would think of Steins;Gate as a sort of action film (you feel like everything will work out). That does not detract from the fact that both series are excellent in their own way and definitely a must watch for a true anime fan.read more
SoL, comedy, slightly harem, time-travelling.
The MC has a male friend which isn't competition, but closer to comic relief.
The MC is quite interesting, has entertaining dialogues and interactions with other characters.
He starts off in a light-hearted SoL, which evolves into more serious drama.
Something happens to one of the protagonists, which affects the MC, but resets occur.
There is romance, which puts it above simple harem.
There is also a similar plot-line about a father who's lost very important breakthrough physics papers about alternate dimensions in a plane accident, which comes into play later on.
Though the differences may seem small at first, there is a similar atmosphere about them. Steins;Gate is essentially a slice of life anime in the disguise of a science fiction thriller. There are multiple episodes that, from the eyes of an outside viewer, would seem like filler added to pad out the plot; however, it becomes clear to one who is watching how necessary each episode is to tie the plot together. Multiple episodes towards the end of the series feel like they were yanked out of the end of a Clannad arc. Likewise, each miniature arc in Clannad is needed to reach the end. Steins;Gate essentially attempts to bridge slice of life with science fiction, while focusing on the sci-fi. Clannad works similarly but instead focuses on the slice of life, where the supernatural elements only come together at the very end.
Ultimately, though, the main similarities are the boundless, witty humor driven by each series' respective loveable male protagonist, his interactions with the people around him, how it is contrasted with a deeply moving drama, and the inevitable romance that sprouts from it.read more
Both anime rotates on a group of odd friends that seems to have a common goal. A Lot of Angst will be shown. prepare yourself if you want to watch both for they are not really the happy type of anime one usually see.
Mekakucity Actors and Steins;Gate present a lot of mysteries as you watch, and everything is revealed at the end. Without spoiling anything, they each use a similar plot point.
Both have a ya cast working together to figure out the mysteries of an ongoing conspiracy theory and both have alot of wild and chaotic stuff happening during the story and a focus of course on their friendships too.
There are so many similarities between these two shows even though the plots/stories are incredibly different. first of all, both series are very dark and involve a lot of action. the main characters in both series are incredibly alluring and the female supporting cast is epic as well. mayushii and yin are both mysterious heroines whose roles and relations to the male protagonist remain a mystery throughout the series. most of all both shows own SUSPENSE!!! great thrillers that are both a MUST WATCH!
where as Steins;Gate is mostly a mystery anime, and not high pased. Darker than Black have the same mystery element, but with cool fights and high pase.
if you like the one, you'll most likely like the other.
Both have extremely deep and interesting characters with many sides to their personalities. Both have elements of the unreal while keeping true to a very realistic setting. Both have great endings. Both are instant classics to viewers who are somewhat experienced in watching anime.
Both Bakemonogatari (from the Monogatari series) and Steins;Gate are dialogue heavy and have little to no fight scenes, of which, personally, I really like. This means that you have to listen and recall a lot of what the characters say to understand the story to it's full potential, but if you are willing to do that then the payoff is pretty good.
Bakemonogatari has a bit more of a darker, creepy atmosphere to it compared to Steins;Gate, which has a light and normal feel to it at first and then it slowly shifts into a darker mood.
Steins;Gate is about time travel/multiple universes whilst Bakemonogatari is about apparitions and vampires. They both have a main character who is unique, and kind of crazy, and they choose to help solve other peoples problems using whatever means they can.
Both of these titles are in my top 3 anime series (I gave both 10/10), which shows that I enjoy dialogue a lot. So, if you enjoy good story and dialogue, then these anime are for you.read more
Both are works that both blend seriousness and otaku-related comedy well together. Both involve the harem relationships into the plot without making it the center focus or annoying like other harem ecchi comedies.
Both Steins;Gate and Black Rock Shooter have the same artist known as Huke supporting them and have violence along with serious and not so serious times
Both anime have similar storytelling styles which leave you wondering what's fruit of the characters imagination and what is reality
Both also have a strong theme of morality of what if protecting someone comes at a cost to themselves or others
Both Death Parade and Steins;Gate are filled with comedy and death. They both will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat wondering what could happen next.
Both anime are VERY different story wise but both have a great cast of unique characters. So if you watch anime for good characters I highly recommend. (Sorry this is my first recommendation and I don't really have much to say ._.)
They don't have a similar setting at all, but they share the same thriller feeling.
Both are heavily psychological and involve mysterious characters from different timelines.
Although Madoka is a fantasy series and Steins;Gate is sci-fi, both share a somewhat similar theme and mood. In both cases, we have a relatively big cast of rather eccentric characters who are initially introduced in a comedic atmosphere, which keeps getting darker and darker as the plot progresses, eventually turning into full-fledged psychological thrillers.
P5 and SG have teenagers who lead normal lives but later involve something dangerous and powerful that they will have to put every effort despite the hardships they have to go through.
Ryuji Sakamoto and Rintaro Okabe have the same Seiyuu and I cannot help but compare some of their aspects.
Both feature a young cast getting caught up in a strange events regarding a dark conspiracy that’s behind it and its all up to them to stop it and also a focus on not only mystery, but also friendship in it as well too and both feature parodies of popular pop culture brands and have quite a bit of suspense in it as well too.
Both have plots involving gadgets like television and mobile phones and are adapted from a video game. Moreover, each series' MC has a girl partner beside them (and the latest one for P4G, Marie). Plus they're both of the mystery genre.
And last but not least...
...both have the same excitement and worth to watch!!
For the start, they were made in same studio (White Fox), beyond that, both have the same sadistic style; time travel (different ways in each anime) that torture them. If you liked Re: Zero, certainly you might like Steins;Gate.
Both are 10/10s, both involve the protagonists time traveling to reset to a specific point and try to save the people they care about. In addition to this, they both develop psychological trauma from time traveling. Would highly recommend both.
So, do you like seeing the characters suffer? Being pushed to their utmost psychical limit, to the point of almost giving up, yet continuing anyway to undo the terrible fate of their close ones, as the protagonists are caught up in seemingly inescapable time loop, looking for the ideal timeline? If yes, watch these two anime.
Both series focus on a group of friends in a laboratory, while one is focused on robotics and the other is focused on time travel, both series have similar types of eccentric characters... The mad scientist who's actually more of a goofball, his friend who is even more of a goofball, the quiet girl who hangs around the lab, etc.
Steins;Gate's story ends up getting darker at a certain point, while Atom's remains generally lighthearted, but the similarities in terms of characters, presentation, and setting are fairly similar.
Both anime have a somewhat similar mood, as they both follow a group of friends who conduct experiments in their small lab. Tenma and Okabe are also quite similar characters, and they are both eccentric scientists. The main difference is that Steins;Gate deals with time travel while Atom deals with robotics.
Great animes that deal with SCIENCE! Both main characters are named "Kyouma" and are a bit older than your average main anime character, what gives the story a different and refreshing feel. Also, they manage to step out of many character and storytelling cliches (especially Steins;Gate) and have amazing art and soundtrack.
Both of the plots are similar, sure there's nothing about time but theres a similarity.
Both of them are based on science
Both of them trying to say that if theres something great, theres a risk behind it.
Similar concept. Steins;Gate is time travelling, Akanesasu Shoujo is parallel worlds travelling. Starts almost the same way where the caracters find out their device actually works out of pure coincidence. A dimensions traveller also stays with the cast to serve as a guide.
A group of college students/high school students are involved in time travel/parallel worlds through the use of a home appliance (Microwave oven in Steints; Gate, a Walkman Player in Akanesasu Shoujo). Situations of humor as there are also sentimental situations between the characters.
Both have people that are sent back to the past.
Zipang, they have a vast amount of knowledge to draw from that will help change a large war and subsequent events to come but try not to leave any significant impact on the timeline for fear of the butterfly effect and grandfather paradox.
Steins;Gate, they use time travel freely and consequently create many paradoxes in which they need to keep using a time machine to go to the past and close/fix the paradoxes.
While Steins;Gate is probably the most well-known time-travel anime, Zipang is unknown to most of the viewers and fans of the genre. Whoever, they share the same concept of going back to the past and all the consequences a small alteration can do in the course of time.
The main issue is that Zipang is a very serious historical anime that appeals to a niche of historical/military fans and the animation isn't that great compared to Steins;Gate. The characters don't have much in common apart from the protagonist trying to fix the situation without messing the future up.
If you can get past the weak visuals, incomplete manga adaptation, and category differences, then Zipang is a very worthwhile experience for viewers that enjoy realistic time-travel stories.read more
Listen, I'm not recommending this to you because they're similar in any way. No, I'm recommending this to you for the sake of Mamoru Miyano's flamboyant, energetic voice acting. These are the works where he shows his loud, dominating voice at his finest.
If you enjoy the over-the-top characters and tone of Zombieland Saga, you'll probably really like Steins;Gate. If you even slightly like the protagonist of Zombieland Saga, you will grow to adore Okabe Rintarou. It's just an all-around good anime for when you want to laugh, cry, cry a lot, or repeat stupid phrases over and over until your friends beg you to stop.
The male leads get themselves involved with matters they probably should have left alone, be it time travel or making wishes on cat god statues, and set off to undoing the damage that has been done by their actions. Both are assisted in their quest by a girl they meet by pure chance.
Both involve the area of being transported in another time line and having to correct the mistakes that was created. Though Steins gate is much more serious, the main theory is there.
The second best in the semicolon series, from the same creators as S;G. While focus is different (S;G time travel, while C;C is one part murder mystery, one part psychological horror), both feature a group of teenage characters and a science-related mystery.
Chaos;Child takes place on the Steins;Gate worldline in 2015 Shibuya. While the anime does actually suck, I'd recommend checking it out if you liked Steins;Gate.
Also, if you can, play the VN instead of watching the anime for Chaos;Child because the VN is actually really good.
They both have two protagonists, a male and a female, who get closer and closer in their relationship as time goes on and the more time that they hang out with each other. Both Okabe and Mizugaki face problems when they realise they are going to lose companions they have worked with and gotten to know after spending time with them. Steins;Gate goes into more detail of this problem with a slower pace and how the main character overcomes it.
Plastic Memories is a cute anime from the writer of Steins;Gate. It is nothing spectacular, but it is definitely not bad either. This series will take control of your emotions just as Steins;Gate did. You will notice many similarities between the two series.
Both of those anime are partially about time travel and it's consequences. Both are rather grimdark and sad. Both are excellent. If you liked the time travel theme of Madoka Magica 2 then you will most certainly like Steins;Gate.
Both anime are darker than what they look like. They have a main protagonist who travels to different timelines to save a friend from an inevitable fate. Overall, both anime have similar concepts and they create a very similar mood.
A must-see for all time-traveling enthusiasts. Steins;Gate explores the multitude of possibilities in the course of time as it unforlds (from a point in the past onwards) while Kokkoku is about entering a co-called stasis, a frozen frame, a single moment in time where some have the "power" to interact while the rest of the world around them is like an unmovable picture. S;G starts off really slowly but at some point BAM! it hits you strong and accelerates. Kokkoku is going fast (oh the irony!) from sec one. There's lots of violence in both cases, if you have a weak stomach better avoid them during lunch time.read more
Both are science-fiction thrillers about time manipulation where the main characters (who both have an affinity for white lab coats, for some reason) are on the run from a shadowy organization. While Steins;Gate leans heavily on hard sci-fi to explain away its time-travel mechanics, Kokkoku takes a more fantastical and mystical approach.
In this anime the main character go back in time to solve personal issues among other things. It is very profound and in the same time funny. Some drama but very sweet.
This is similar because in the show major things happends to the main character. And they both deal with time. Its also similar because the characters are kinda of alike
The Main Protagonist invited some girls to become his assistant / group members to contribute in his own project. Steins;Gate is more dramatic and thrilling while Saekano is more romantic and funny.
These shows are similar because they both start off with something that would attract a larger audience, then end with a bittersweet note. The filler episodes that they have actually contribute to the plot and make the impact larger when you watch it. Both talk about romance and the main character coming to understand what it truly means to do so.
While Baccano is not about time travel, I feel that people who enjoy Steins;gate should try out Baccano. It is bloodier than Steins;gate, but full of mystery and you get the thrill of understanding more and more each episode. Once you finish the series, you will want to rewatch it to understand it better just like Steins;gate.
Both Kuroshitsuji and Steins;Gate have there serious points and their not so serious points and have a bit of violence with something to do with a period in time Kuroshitsuji taking in place in the past and Steins;Gate getting involved with both past and future
The stories of Kuroshitsuji and Steins; Gate have nothing in common, but the way there stories are executed are similar. They are both on the darker side and have unique and interesting characters also the plots of both of the stories are intriguing and keep you wanting to know more. Over all they are both good anime that have a sci-fi/ fantasy bent to them.
It's a surprise this isn't within the top recommendations. The art style is similar, creating an environment of surreal and realism at the same time. Main characters are similar, with both main lead male roles fighting desperately against fate for the person they care about. Menma= Mayuri
Daru= Hasida
Anju= Kurisu
If you like one, there is a big chance you will like the other. They are both amazing shows that take their time to get you into their world, but once they do you will be hooked and you wont look back. Protagonists share a lot of similarities, but saying anything more would be a spoiler. These series are epic and thrilling, with an amazing plot and a lot of plot twists. Definite recommendation to check them both if you haven't
You may ask how these two anime are similar to each other. The answer isn’t very obvious. Steins;Gate same as Fate/Zero is one of my favorite anime so far. Since watching both of them. I’ve came to conclusion that issues are pretty similar. Protagonist are dealing with life existential issues. They’re looking for perfect world where they can exist without worries. Main characters are seeking for the truth that isn’t evident.
For who I’d like to recommend watching Fate/Zero? Of course for people who are looking for dramatic experience based on character’s psychology. But all of you should give it a whirl.
Future gadgets lab - check
Time Travel Cellphones - check
Unintended Consequences - check
The main difference is that one has cellphones that email to the past and the other has cellphones that call to the future.
For sure it isnt awesome as steins;gate but both is about time travel and scientists. Both anime is about scientists who tries their time machine for first time. But Mou Hitatsu no Mirai wo is not into time lines and paradoxes.
both are time travel mystery themed stories that are focused around trying to figure out what happened in the first place to cause the time travel to get all messed up and of course a quirky charming cast of characters too.
Both shows involve supernatural elements and as the plot progresses the audience finds themselves growing more and more fond of the characters as they are further developed. They both have extremely hard-hitting emotional moments involving these characters, and they both have very satisfying plots. In addition, both of these shows are masterpieces in my book. Definitely watch one if you have seen and enjoyed the other!
Both dealing with unnatural phenomenons and surrounded in mystery. The emotional leaps and ecchi that were in Steins;Gate are not present in Another, but I would say you should at least give it a shot. I enjoyed it.
These two series gave me the same feelings, especially with the dark atmosphere and major surprising elements. If you have watched one, give the other a shot and you'll probably like the other.
This might seem like a weird recommendation but both these series have the sort of story where the protagonist stumbles onward trying different things only to realize the error of his ways and the way the world works way later in the series leading to an epic finale.
These two series don't feel the same but I can't help but think that if you like one you'll like the other. The pacing is similar in that it is slow at first but picks up speed constantly untill you're glued to the screen. There are even similar elements relating to memory (where one character has memories of something the others do not and is therefor isolated). The protagonists of both shows must face an overwhelming power on their own and while they have support from their friends it is not applicable to their situation some of the time.
There are some people who might be bothered by how relaxed the creators of these shows are about gender roles or whatever. In Steins;Gate there is the trappiest of traps and in Shinsekai Yori there is a boy on boy kiss - something which has horrified the communtiy to no end. If this somehow disturbs you too much to be able to enjoy good anime then I recommend Mars of Destruction.read more
Similarities :
- MCs are strong mentally, and not physically ( they usually go through psychologically stressful situations)
- Focused on a group of friends
- Both have some romance
- Interesting reflexions about the behavior of human society after a major event (time traveling/ humans with psychic powers)
Differences:
- Shinsekai is darker than Steins;Gate, with less humor and a heavier atmosphere (post-apocalyptic).
- Both are science fiction anime, but unlike Steins, Shinsekai has this supernatural side to it.
- Art & Sound are better on SY, while S;G has a better plot.
For me they're both great shows, though I can't say for sure that if you liked S;G, you'll also like SY. I mean, these shows don't have a really straightforward connection, but a kind of weird, deeper one. So its possible to like only one. I'd say about 70-80% chance for someone to like the two of them, so, give it a shot ! =D

They are both sci-fi anime and considered among the best of the genre. Both are deep and are well-rounded (they have comedy, sad scenes, happy scenes, intense scenes, etc.).
Two "weird" groups of young people having a normal life while using some type of experimental technology. Granted, the technology used in each is very distinct, but both have some kind of futuristic elements not achieved by our current technology.
What makes Steins;Gate and Dennou Coil similar to me is the simple beginning with hints for a big mystery or conspiration that later develops throughout the story. Apart from a similar mysterious aura and issues around these new and futuristic technologies and the consequences of its use, there are also calm or fun episodes that contrast with the dramatic and dark moments present in both shows. Both also have share conspiracy elements.
Character-wise, they are immature and childish at times, but serious when the situation requires and have some development. Some characters have pretty unique designs and personalities, especially in Steins;Gate.
Steins;Gate is a more serious anime and feels more realistic, but has some fantasy/sci-fi elements like the time travel (as the genre implies). Dennou Coil also has its share of realism and sci-fi that is closest to our current technology (AR glasses) but also has a big fantasy element that is "the obsolete spaces".read more
The animation is very similar.
The main characters of each show are similar as they both start to lose their humanity.
Both shows have great music and stories.
Both shows are fighting against something bigger then themselves.
both make you take a trip on a feels train... ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼
Two works that surely share an eerie and uncanny feeling, related to the machinery and gadgets that drive the plot in the two stories respectively. However, there's still room for pleasant portraits of daily life and character development, that make it possible for the viewer to get really attached to the main cast.
Both troubling, unsettling adventures with a tame use of a somewhat distressing, creepy imagery and a great use of pacing for enhancing the plot while it unravels to us viewers.
They both have a very select group of people who have supernatural phenomenon forced upon them by an outside force. Both shows have a believable hook, and well written characters to go along with it. The romances in both shows are understandable and both have very satisfying ends.
This is a bit of an odd recommendation for me to make. The reason I'm making it is simple, I have only ever liked two anime for their plot. Steins;gate and Houseki no Kuni. That is the reason I'm making this recommendation, because they're the only two anime for which the plot is strong enough to hold them up (I also want to dethrone Shinsekai Yori from the top recommendations related to Houseki no Kuni)
BTW: These are two of the only three anime I'd recommend against dropping at all costs. Even if you're not particularly enjoying these, you can't get the full picture without finishing them.read more
The main character in both shows is a genius, a very weird genius with a sad past and an heartbreaking childhood.
in both shows they are helped by amazing women who are reconized as geniuses and are not there just to be an object.
Both have magical aspects in their storylines and are mixed with darkness and funny parts but not too distracting.
Finally both leave open the possibility for sequels which is so great.
Both of theses tell very unique stories. Once your about 6 episodes in its very hard to stop till the end cause you need the final answers to all your questions. Makes you sad when they end cause the story is over :(
The story of Steins;Gate and Attack on Titan both contain time travel, however this one is different because in Steins;Gate the protagonist travels between the Alpha and Beta lines while going back in time. and modifying the events. In the attack of the titans it is different eras or years which are superimposed.
It's one the best anime out there and if you watch it in a specific order it will make it even more goated you can find that order on Google just search steins gate watch order than open quora link 👍
I know this two are not specially similar but if you liked the time-travelling thing in Chrono Stone, Steins;Gate is a very good option to watch cause it explains a lot more the concept of time and can be very funy to apply the Steins;Gate time travel concepts into Chrono Stone.
The basic feel of the anime is similar in both. Both feature a group of friends, each with own drama and uniqueness, who are all in the same club/lab. The focus remains on actions of the characters instead of the situations they face.
While not as dark as "Texhnolyze," this anime deals with complex time-traveling concepts and the consequences of changing the past. It follows the story of a young scientist who inadvertently creates a time machine and must race against time to prevent a catastrophic future.
The city Roanapur feels somewhat like time travel to this underworld also considering the similarities between Benny the hacker and Daru the perverted hacker
These two animes are themed around time travel and Time Leap.
The two protagonists of these works are very similar (mainly the reason for time travel).
The concepts of Time Leap and timelines are also very similar.
In addition, everything has a price to pay and the protagonists learn this in suffering.
Both focus on a unique cast with a high stakes storyline set in modern day Japan with many twists and turns along the way as well as main characters developing a close relationship as time goes by.
In both anime someone disappears due to a certain reason and the world resets and only 1 person remembers the individual who disappeared but to everyone else the memories of that person don't exist anymore.
Although inherently different in some respects, the parallel I'm drawing between the popular and beloved time travel phenomenon with this older and likewise beloved movie are the themes of self-identity, of its degradation following distressing circumstances, of trauma and its ability to blur our vision of reality, distorting the very senses that leave us on the brink of sanity, and of the prevalent idea that upon losing one's sense of self, upon discovering that "other" voice in the back of your heart, you begin to fall into what seems like a bottomless pit, leaving you to question "is this the real me?"
Steins;Gate Movie: Fuka Ryouiki no Deja vu is the movie sequel for Steins;Gate. Both have time travel elements and good storytelling. If you have just finished Steins;Gate and really liked it, you will most likely find this very enjoyable.
The main cast from both series are among the most amazing I have ever seen and also share many similarities. The way Yamada and Shiraishi interact with each other reminds me of Okabe and Kurisu. Besides that, Yamada and Okabe are loyal guys despite being surrounded by a bunch of beauties.
Both series also deal with memory loss, but Steins;Gate is better executed with hardly no plot holes. You will get confused a lot while watching Yamada-kun and seven witches, since the anime left out many important details from the manga.
Both deal with hypothetical science, and the characters in both with to use special powers and technology to save people and create a better future. Although Madoka Magica Gaiden is also fantasy-based, they share extremely similar plot events.
Madoka Magica arguably has more "action" in terms of literal fight scenes, while Steins;Gate focusses more on suspense. Both have "dark" moments, and there are certaninly some slightly terrifying scenes, but Steins;Gate also has some funny moments that provide comic relief without compromising the actual plot; Madoka Magica Gaiden has more heart-warming, affectionate scenes to establish a balance through the implementation of positive thoughts and emotions.
Both have a very mysterious, psychological atmosphere to them as well as big plot twists and secrets that aren't revealed until the end. The animation is great, the plot is well-written and hooks you immediately, and there's plenty of dark humour and occasional gore for those who enjoy that.
Both explore the option of world lines and the whole time travel theory whereby our timelines diverge from one another. Rewrite has superpowers though, if you're into that.
Warning though: If you watched Steins;Gate first, you may not like Rewrite. If you watched Rewrite first, you'll feel that Steins;Gate is much deeper and has better character development. Regardless, both anime are interesting.
In both series, a trio of incredibly distinct people work together in order to solve a global, catastrophic problem that they themselves created, namely World War 2 for Hetalia and the convergent world lines for Steins;Gate. To solve this problem, they must defeat forces much greater than themselves--the Axis Powers must destroy the Allies and Okabe's crew must trick time itself.
The characters are also similar--Italy and Okabe are both the hapless yet enthusiastic leads, often just needing a little push from the ones around them to get the job done and delivering some much needed humor; Germany and Kurisu are the serious ones that are often placed alongside the comic relief so their personalities can bounce off of the others; and finally, Japan and Mayuri are the passive bystanders who only come into the narrative and affect it when they really need to.
The side characters are also treated similarly. Both the countries outside of the Axis powers as well as everyone outside of Okabe's laboratory crew are given proper motivations, goals, and ideals to lend them a sense of depth. Some episodes are entirely focused on these side characters as well as how they deal with their problems, along with a side dish of backstory. These side characters will also frequently appear throughout the story, even when they don't necessarily contribute anything to the scene at hand.
The style of comedy in both series is also very similar, relying on the ensemble nature of the cast to have their personalities bounce off of each other very naturally, however, unlike Steins;Gate, Hetalia's humor has a long line of history to draw from, which means it doesn't need to establish backstory. It's also worth noting that the story beats in Hetalia's narrative, unlike Steins;Gate, are predictable because they draw from real-world events, meaning that the plot is obviously going to be a lot less thriller-y.
Final thing: both series feature multiple TV, Movie, and OVA releases that are chronologically messy, with interquels, sequels, prequels, and spin-offs galore. This is a lot more evident with Hetalia though, where historical events are essentially distributed at random.read more
Steins; gate is an anime very similar to re: zero, mainly in relation to the protagonist's personality, both protagonists have a huge deconstruction when the episodes happen, both suffer a lot to reach their goal, time travel is extremely similar to the return of Subaru's death, who liked re: zero will certainly like steins; gate
How about a smart main character for a change? These animes are filled with smart thoughts and enigmas to please people who love strategy, thinking ahead and planning.
Both series revolve around the concept of time to fix things that were there from the start. Note that there is a dark tone within each messages unveiled from episode to episode that will shock you as if it was a rollercoaster.
Steins;Gate, like many other visual novels, follows the same basic story structure as Kanon. A happy comedic first half, a tragic second half, and then a happy ending. Kanon is a far superior anime though, and probably also visual novel, though i will admit to not having read the Steins;Gate VN.
It's absolutely obvious that Popotan is not even close as good as Steins;Gate , but if you like the idea of time travel and want to see the effects of it in a decent story about 3 girls, then Popotan is actually a fair choice to watch.
Godzilla S.P is a very jargon-heavy kind of science fiction similar to Science Adventure series like Steins;Gate.
Steins;Gate puts central focus on the idea of time travel with characters doing a lot of trial and error to get things right. Godzilla S.P, takes concepts from various fields, from mathematics, materials science, topology (some overlapping with the concepts discussed by Steins;Gate) all going towards the characters solving one problem.
Steins Gate deals with time travel, while Saiyuki deals with demons trying to find out why demons are attacking. Both contain a great story and are worth a watch though.
Tl;Dr - Steins;Gate follows an individual's fight against conspiracy. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu follows individuals leading a war between two societies.
Full Comparison - Both anime use Action, Adventure, and Drama to tell a Sci-fi story of a brilliant MC that is on the verge of making a world-changing achievement and must now fight the antagonists - outside forces trying to stop them & a cruel reality of losing what's most precious.
Steins;Gate has a crazy-brilliant, outcasted MC, and the series develops from a slow-paced start to the series, chasing a desire for the Sci-Fi to be real -> into an action-packed and exciting development of a resolution.
Comparatively, Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu has an MC with an ambitious, charasmatic, and relatively-normal personality. While the series is also action-packed and exciting, the pacing is more evenly spread consistent throughout the series, with the storyline built on the Sci-Fi elements already widespread among society.read more
If you enjoyed the Sci-fi storyline & painful situations in Steins;Gate, you should also enjoy Rewrite 2nd season (watch Rewrite 1st season is optional).
If you are a fan of time travel and parallel universes, then you are surely to like these two. Both have a different way of story telling apart from other anime that would be a refreshing change of pace. the two have terrific plots and awesome likable characters. They also not fall apart in terms of enjoyment level, comedy and drama.
Both have a dark, mysterious thriller theme. In Denpa teki na kanojo, the main character and some other people searches for the killer. In Steins;Gate, a group of scientists researches about well... steins;Gate. Therefore, both of them includes some form of investigating. There are also no fantasy, magic, supernatural whatsoever elements in either of them too.
1) Both anime focus on trying to avoid death and being captured, although Steins;Gate executes this differently.
2) Both involve a relationship between tsundere female and male characters.
Noire = Kurisu
They(Other neptunia characters) call Noire "assistant".
Noire states, and I quote, "Why do I feel like denying that I'm an assistant is in my blood?"
MAGES. is based off of Makise Kurisu, in search of Doc P or Doc Tear Popper.
Noire is love. Kurisu is love.
Need I say more?
First arc has a similar existential dilemma involving time paradoxes that is present later on in SG, although executed in a more comedic fashion, in contrast to SG's thriller.
Two quality sci-fi anime. Whereas Steins;Gate tackles the concept of time-travel, GitS 2: Innocence questions the ethics of making cyborgs/robots, and reveals the vulnerability of AI to hacking and viruses. While SG's plot is slightly stronger, GitS 2: Innocence makes for a more compact viewing, and the graphics are stunning for a 2004 anime. Since GitS 2 is reminiscent of a good old cop story, be prepared for some gunfights and explosions!
Shifting realities, trying to save someone you care about . . . Interlude is a 3 ep ova. Too bad because it could have been something quite good given time to evolve. As roriconfan said in his review of Interlude, it was original in its day but has been eclipsed by better titles. Still, if you are hungry for this type of theme, it is an o.k. watch.
Both are stories dealing with changes in time flow and main characters who notice the changes and their [mostly negative] effects.
C has more of an internal, personal conflict, while Steins;Gate's conflict is more external.
Both animes have a great amount of psychological thriller, both keep you guessing, both have intellectual methods to counter problems.
If you enjoyed Steins Gate intense twists and suspense, then I assure you Kaiji delievers a lot better.
However if you would like to add some comedy + romance in, Steins Gate is the one.
I know this may seem like a bit of an odd recommendation, but I do genuinely think that these shows share a lot in common.
For one, although the humour in Steins; Gate only really lasts for the first few episodes before only appearing in rare cases it's very similar to the sort of humour in Gintama in that the characters are weird and quirky and have really amusing interactions with each other. So whenever there were humorous episodes/moments of Steins; Gate I was reminded of Gintama.
Another way in which these shows are similar is that both of them are really funny when they're supposed to be yet seriously epic and tense and amazing when the serious parts come in. In other words, they both convey two completely contrasting vibes within the same series but pull them both off brilliantly.
Generally, they're both just really great shows that're worth watching. :)read more
Psychological thriller with lots of romance. More intense and tragic than Steins Gate, but definitely has a similar romantic and dark vibes as Steins Gate.
Similar feel, melancholic, character focused. It's science fiction, action and some suspense but all that takes a back seat to the characters' dynamic - again very similar in terms of feel - a combination of scifi and slice of life.
Steins;Gate has both sad and funny parts, just like Oda Nobuna no Yabou. Romance is also a huge part of the anime; without the romance, both anime will not have an interesting plot.
Both are sci-fi. Stein's Gate involves a mad scientist developing time travelling, whereas Kado involves an Alien, higher dimensions and mind boggling devises. In both anime character development plays an important role, so even though they are quite different they do have a similar feel.
Between S; G and Inou-Battle. We can find these similarities:
* Protagonist with an obsession about the existence of something, which turns out to be true. In addition to inventing names and perform actions, somewhat freaks. Additionally, have a friend from childhood, which is cheerful and seeks to understand the protagonist, despite being difficult.
Although with their remarkable differences, they are equally entertaining, since they are based, something that turns out to be impossible. The protagonists are getting closer, showing parts of themselves that would not show thanks to the actions of the protagonist.
It involves; super-humans, ghosts, government conspiracies, Engrish speaking Americans, main character desperately trying to save his friends from a future where everyone dies and much more. Of, course if you watch the first couple episodes of punchline, you may have doubts as punchline is more Wacky with over-the-top humor but if you watch till the end you'll realize it was actually not what you would have expected and turns out to be different.
Both shows are similar in that they have a lot of tension, mixed with occasional humor and romance; however, Steins;Gate is more focused on the science fiction aspect while Kyoukai no Kanata is more focused on the fantasy aspect. They both have more complex plots that unfold as the series goes on.
Both anime revolve around the concept of parallel timelines, with the gist of their plots revolving around the inevitability of death throughout these different worlds. Plus, both anime have a somewhat large cast of eccentric characters, whose interactions are also important to the overall plot.
In case you're a physics nerd then look no further. Or even if you're not and are just looking for something to exercise your brain cells with, then you should definitely give this series a try. Your hunger for science-related adventures will certainly be quenched in a visually and emotionally stunning way.
The show takes place in a what-if scenario in which astrophysics/the multiverse theory is a major influence in the story. Also, in both cases the consequences can often be lethal or at least extremely hazardous to the main cast. So prepare your napkins, because you're going on a feels trip - to space/the past!
Both have:
- Characters writing academic papers about their research which have worldwide impact.
- Characters debating about the implications of their research.
- Characters regretting the negative effects of their research and trying to correct the damage.
These are time travel stories, with characters jumping back and forth in time. The resulting present is the optimal outcome for the protagonist.
He is mainly surrounded by girls, and a cross dressing character.
The titles play with time paradoxa and choose different ways for avoiding inconsistencies, which makes it interesting to compare the 2.
Both these titles are about the multiplying power of the microwave oven.
In one series, the microwave is used to create multiple timelines.
In the other series, the microwave is used to create multiple Nanas.
I recommend these series to microwave fans, and all others.
Whereas the two series aren't even close, their relativity could be on characters.
First one, the main character, Okabe, kind of reminds me of Hachiman for his lone personality, half-chuuni humour(in between Steins;Gate's will and the 108 Skills of the Loner).
But the true comparison I would suggest is Yukino and Kurisu, whereas one is from America, graduated from college and the other is in firs-year of highschool, both are geniuses. As well, both are in someway tsundere (perhaps also kuudere) ; romance exists in between them and the main characters of respective series. To wrap at it, Kurisu and Yukino both seem so weak and alone, which make them all the more cute (somehow more for Yukino because the story has a tendency to dramatize).read more
I know this sounds totally ridiculous at first but hear me out
-Both are about some sort of organization or club
-The characters are very similar
-Both display qualities of a harem anime yet don't feel like one because of their unique settings
While both anime seem fun and energetic at first, they both use the tropes of their genre in order to deliver a rumination on time and how it changes people. In both cases, the main characters travel through time in some form, and the anime focus on their experience and how it affects themselves and their relationships to their loved ones. Viewed through this prism, I would say both anime are quite similar.
They share a similar premise of someone trying to research time travel to alter a sequence of events, and the system trying to stop him from doing so, all in order to save his lady love. Steins;Gate had a wacky cast of characters that were missing from Hello World and a lot more focus on the Sci-Fi elements that served it well. While Hello World has a lighter tone and better visuals.
While the whole plot of Monogatari is not centered about it, both deal with time travel, paralel worlds and the consequnces of small changes which then affect the whole world.
The two Animes starts with a humorous beginning of the protagonists. The two protagonists are intellectual of their surroundings and will make the impossible into a possible situation. Although Steins;Gate was in more of a fantasy realm, and Grisaia no Kajitsu is more of a realistic realm, Steins;Gate is a very mysterious and mind-blowing Anime to watch.
