BrolyTheLegend said: Do I have to understand science to watch this? No. There is a few references to actual sciences theories or individuals , but it's very simplified , so you can follow just fine. However , there are some more complex mechanics that you won't fully understand , especially since the Anime skipped a lot of explanations. |

Orewayaya said: half of the scientific things here don't make sense.. Actually , almost all the "pseudo-sciences" used in Steins;Gate are real concepts and theories , often even very famous and credible ones. There is obviously some romanticized plot devices (such as the micro-wave) , but not that many... That's why Steins;Gate is regarded as one of the most believable and reality-grounded science-fiction ever. |

| Most of the scientific stuff are used for the theme. While they do have intricate theoretical background, the anime does not try to explain them, nor does it use them as a reference. the anime mentions them just to validate the concept of the story up to a minimum level of science. You don't need any particular knowledge of theoretical physics to understand and enjoy the story. And the story itself is not complex. You just have to be a little careful. |

| There are some scientific theories used but it isn't that complex. It's pretty easy to understand |
| no, its scientifically inaccurate; in a fun/goofy kinda way. |

| No. It’s pretty basic stuff. Most of the dialogue isn't heavy exposition or complex science talk. In fact I think there are a lot more pervy jokes than there are actual scientific expositions in this series. Just pay attention to the story and what the characters say and do. Because if you don't pay attention, some of the things may go over your head. Steins;Gate isn't as complicated as some people say it is. Those people probably just didn’t pay enough attention. It’s not the type of anime that you could just shut your brain off and enjoy. But it’s not exactly "thought provoking" like something like Serial Experiments Lain either where things are intentionally left vague so viewers can piece them together themselves. |
| You need to watch at least five seasons of Rick & Morty to understand Steins;Gate. |
 |
| Nah you just need a functioning brain and a pulse. |

| No, Steins;Gate isn't a thesis on time travel. You'll be fine |

Yeah that , is complete non-sense. They also went too far with the "in 36 bytes". |

| Yes, you even have to pass Organic Chemistry with a C or higher to be able to understand anything about this show. |

| With someone with a bachelor's/four-year degree in physics because it came free with my actual degree, I would say that my degree has not impacted my enjoyment of the series or the visual novel in the slightest. It has been a while since I watched it, but if anything I say a degree would potentially lessen your enjoyment, depending on how much of a tightwad one is on fictional science. |

BrolyTheLegend said: Do I have to understand science to watch this? I haven't even started it, i'm just a wondering what to expect, i'm not good at complex dialogue No, don't worry! A general sci-fi knowledge helps for sure but all the core concepts are explained in the show. It's like the level of attention you'd have to employ in, for example, any shonen that has a more complex power system, you know? Also, without spoiling anything, i think you'll realize "the science" isn't the main point of the show, there are other stronger main themes intertwined and the sci-fi was just the style/backdrop chosen to convey them. Hope you enjoy it <3 |
| No, The science aspect is loosely based on some actual theories, but you the rules are very clear. all you need is the context of the show itself. Knowing some stuff will only make you appreciate the show slightly more, it's nothing critical. |
