Lab-mems, brace yourself! It wouldn't be a suprise that this will be an americanized, PC-version of our beloved story, where Okabe is woman, Mayuri is black, Daru doesn't exist because he is too pervy, and Kurisu is Chinese because they have to appeal to the Chinese market too...

Yup, and here's official word: https://twitter.com/kagakuadv/status/1221414410029170689?s=20

Shocking stuff, really. I honestly don't see the merit or point in this to be frankly honest. Conflicted as such but here's to hoping they don't dent this illustrious franchise with some half-assed project.

Daru will probably become a female mechanic.

Puff, go ahead. But Steins; Gate without his atmosphere in Akibahara and his otaku humor is not S; G. And I have no hope that they are even able to understand that.

The most they can aspire to is to take the plot of time travel and to represent it sort of similar with some effects and music that could be fine. Of course, all the characters and dialogues will be replace with the flat stereotypes that we see in 95% of US movies.

I don’t want to go into this with a negative mindset but being realistic it’s probably going to be shit.

There's a guy on twitter saying that Mr. Braun should be played by The Rock lol

I really can't see how Steins;Gate could be adapted into a western live-action series

Oh God, why????? Steins;Gate is entirely dependent on its roots in otaku culture. The english dub already messed that up by replacing all the anime and otaku references with Star Trek, Portal, and Dr. Who references. An actual Hollywood adaptation would be even worse than that. Kill me please.

I want to be positive but hollywoods general track record basically sets this up for failure. I still have flashbacks from the Death note adaption, so i'd rather them leave the Steins;Gate alone.

This just spells disaster, they ruined Death Note which is pretty western friendly and Steins;Gate is set in Akihabara and the main cast are a bunch of otaku, this will most likely be Big Bang Theory with a time travel twist where Daru references Marvel instead of kawai neko tsunderes and Ferris runs a Marvel themed coffee shop.
Can't wait to see adventures of my boys Owen, Maria, Dave, Luke, Felicia and Kris.

I bet the producers didn't even read the vn and wanna make this adaptation because popular. I can see it working it being set in the states, but make them geek, let daru be a pervert, keep the inside "weeb" jokes and let kurisu behave like a cute smart tsundere. Oh, and the catgirls, keep the catgirls. Otherwise, it spells disaster. But keep in mind: if you don't like it, there's something wrong with you! (Quote: some star wars staff).

Out of all the anime they want to live action adapt, they chose one of the most Japanese cultured series, I can't see how the heck they'll pull this off, from the akihabara setting to the otaku quirky traits of the characters.


This is the only live action passable for steins;gate, all VN routes adapted, characters on point, even the OST is here.

Welp this sounds to be horrible most likely. Little jarring that it is even going to happen.
Don't let others ruin things for you. Even if a toxic fan pisses in your cereal, you could just get another bowl of cereal.

lmao they couldnt possibly adapt it very well.
First, the characters are Japanese and they possess some Japanese-only traits.
Okabe Rintarou is a one-of-a-kind character that has an odd personality, and its way of talking is certainly Japan-ish, and if it would be translated to English..uh expect a lot of cringeworthy scenes.
Mayuri is so child-like that only anime can give justice to that. Live action and with english lang? Damn no.
The setting should be no other than Japan, since the Japanese culture also has a big role in the series. If it aint Japan, hell no.

The stage play of S;G is awesome, well since it was also Japanese who portrays it, you guys should definitely watch it.
I love K-On, and so should you.
