| Steins Gate 0 is a spinoff and shows what happens if You should watch them both. |
 |
| S;G 0 is about his future self, about the last 2 episode of the main Story. Like, how he came to that conclusion in original story. It builds up episode 23 and 24, from the S;G. Just watch it in this way: S;G (1-22 eps) -> ep23β -> S;G0 -> S;G (23-24eps)[Chronological] or Simply watch S;G -> 23β -> S;G0 You'll enjoy it either way. |

| I do not recommend you to watch it in chronological order Steins;Gate episode (1-22) => Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link - Divide By Zero (also known as episode 23β, it's listed as an OVA) => Stein;Gate 0 => actual ending Steins;Gate episode (23-24) S;G0 is a "midquel" explaining how the actual Steins Gate ending was created. Episode 23β begins S:G0. It shows what would happen if certain actions were not done. S;G0 ending is not the actual end but it's necessary to understand the whole story. |

| SG0 is an alternative timeline where Okabe The alternation of the timeless (SG0 creation) starts at episode 23 of the original series. 1.You can choose to not watch it. 2. You can choose to watch the original series first and then SG0 (wouldn’t really recommend) 3. You can go the full SG0 route and watch it in this order: a. S;G 1-22 b. S;G missing link ova (episode 23 B. Not the same as episode 23 of the og series) c. S;G0 d. S;G episode 23-24 Imo, including SG0 as the main route is the best way of watching Steins Gate. SG0 does great work at developing the characters, especially Okabe. |

| Steins; Gate takes place over multiple timelines. Steins; Gate 0 shows what would've happened in the base timeline if the MC made a different choice. You should watch both, but watch "Missing Link" or episode 23B before 0. |
| Just watch Steins;Gate 2011 and then come back and ask what Zero is. Because it's kind of hard to explain without spoiling anything. |

Watch Steins;Gate 1-24 and then watch 0 if you wish. |
You chronological SG watch order people need to stop. This order completely ruins Steins Gate. I can list dozens of reasons why this watch order makes no sense in any way. |

Haha you serious your watch order adds so much unnecessary crap and ruins the far superior original series when campared. This also adds unnecessary confusion for no reason. -its a time travel show so there is no true chronological order -7 year time gap between the two series -completely ruins the pacing -ruins the set up -spoils the big reveal at the end I get people have different preferences but people that watch something outside the creators true vision is just wrong. Got into similar arguments with other people about this debate and then can never give a solid reason from this watch order other than to make Zero more relevant. |
| Zero was really disappointing to me, just watch Steins Gate to start with and go from there. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

Got into similar arguments with other people about this debate and then can never give a solid reason from this watch order other than to make Zero more relevant. Considering you said you got in many arguments, that means if I reply more after this comment, we’ll be here all day, so this is my final comment. Whether you decide to continue or not, you’ll be talking to yourself. Anyways. I’ve watched. I’ve decided it doesn’t add any unnecessary crap. I bet you think the first 12 episodes of the S;G are unnecessary crap too, since you consider S;G0 unnecessary crap. (You’d still be wrong, even if you did think of them as unnecessary) Moving on. I’ve watched S;G0 and I can surely say that I don’t find the pacing ruined at all. That’s just your opinion, which is fine, but don’t try to make it a fact. Idk what set up you’re talking about how SG ruins it. SG0 clearly expands on the original, meaning the set up is still there. What 0 does, though, is add more to it. You don’t seem to like it, yet I do. Does it mean I’m wrong? Nope, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong either. It’s just an opinion. The only thing I can agree on with you, is that some things that 0 throws lightly are same things that were meant to be surprising moments in S;G. The author clearly intended to make S;G0 to complete the original series. To show and tell more about the character. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have done it. Indeed that doesn’t mean the author didn’t say that we should watch it chronologically, or that the best way to watch it is chronologically, but the fact that the missing link ova exist, it clearly shows that the chronological order does exist. And 23b is the one that connects the main series to S;G0. Creators’ true vision you say. The existence of that 23 mins episode is also the creator’s true vision, which makes you wrong. But even if that didn’t exist... how can you possibly know what the creator’s true vision is? How can you what isn’t included in the creator’s true vision I clearly don’t care about your opinions as they’re just that. Opinions. You say it adds unnecessary stuff. I say it doesn’t. It’s subjective- meaning we’re neither right or wrong. We just have different opinions. You say it ruins the pacing. I say it doesn’t. It’s clearly the same subjective thinking. You say it’s spoils stuff and I agree. I think that’s the only downside of releasing that VN like 6 years later to the original. It kinda reminds me of Fate series, where because of things that play out and are shown in the anime, you’ll end up being spoiled no matter what. It’s not the same, just find them having the same problem. Releasing new content too far apart. There’s also a way to simply skip spoiler, by simply completing the anime first then 23b and 0. It doesn’t really hurt the experience, but if you don’t watch 23b it completely leaves you confused. So yes, if one decides to watch Sg first and then 0, should know that 23b should be watched in between them. In the end, what you’re saying is none other than your own opinion (except for one part). So am I, but different to you, I don’t go around telling people I’m wrong about it. It’s just preferences in the end. I still I think all 3 option are viable, I wouldn’t put them there if it wasn’t. Oh and btw. My first time watching SG was then 0 hadn’t come out, so yea. I watched 0 after the original initially. Then i rewatched it in “chronological order” like 2 years ago because my friend said it’s great... and you know what? It was great! Maybe for me the whole spoiler stuff has had been toned down as I already knew what was gonna happen from the first time watching it. However, the chronological order still ended up the best way I consumed it. It’s preferences. Good talk, cheers! |

Whether you decide to continue or not, you’ll be talking to yourself. So your not gonna reply that's fine whatever. I would like to state that I respect others opinions that's not my goal here. I have only seen one person that I spoke to prefer this watch order and many others be ruined by it. I love this series to death and don't want it ruined for other by people pushing this unnecessary watch order. -Anyways. I’ve watched. I’ve decided it doesn’t add any unnecessary crap. I bet you think the first 12 episodes of the S;G are unnecessary crap too, since you consider S;G0 unnecessary crap. (You’d still be wrong, even if you did think of them as unnecessary) Um no your completely wrong about that the first 12 episodes are extremely important and I love the first half of the series. Steins;Gate 0 adds unnecessary confusion to a pretty easy watch order. It's basically turning into the Fate series and I don't want Steins Gate to get that kind of reputation. SG 0 is not unnecessary but it is at the same time its not really necessary to watch. -Moving on. I’ve watched S;G0 and I can surely say that I don’t find the pacing ruined at all. That’s just your opinion, which is fine, but don’t try to make it a fact. How does it not ruin the pacing your in the middle of a series climax and the big plot twist and reveal to stop that and go to a depressed Okabe for several episodes. It's ruins the tension and the overall build up that Steins Gate has spend 22 episodes to make. -Idk what set up you’re talking about how SG ruins it. SG0 clearly expands on the original, meaning the set up is still there. What 0 does, though, is add more to it. You don’t seem to like it, yet I do. Does it mean I’m wrong? Nope, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong either. It’s just an opinion. Your really asking what setup? The entire show was building up to unlocking Steins Gate. SG0 is part of a separate universe they are two different Okabes. SG0 is meant to be viewed separately. -The only thing I can agree on with you, is that some things that 0 throws lightly are same things that were meant to be surprising moments in S;G. If you acknowledge this then why push this watch order it makes no sense. -The author clearly intended to make S;G0 to complete the original series. To show and tell more about the character. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have done it. Of course SG0 was made to build the world of SG but SG is also part of a larger series aka the Science Adventure Seris. But they are to be view separately. Would you just stop reading the VN at a certain point and go to 0? I wouldn't -Indeed that doesn’t mean the author didn’t say that we should watch it chronologically, or that the best way to watch it is chronologically, but the fact that the missing link ova exist, it clearly shows that the chronological order does exist. And 23b is the one that connects the main series to S;G0. Creators’ true vision you say. The existence of that 23 mins episode is also the creator’s true vision, which makes you wrong. But even if that didn’t exist... how can you possibly know what the creator’s true vision is? How can you what isn’t included in the creator’s true vision Episode 23b is just part of the anime and ment to help the views connect the two series. And may I ask why would you want something labeled 23b over something with just the number 23. The b is obviously an alternative episode to the original. Why would you want to spinoff before the original episode? Also again your using the term chronological on a series with time travel series. This is in no way a true chronological order series. I find this genuinely hilarious. -I clearly don’t care about your opinions as they’re just that. Opinions. That's fine you don't care. -You say it’s spoils stuff and I agree. I think that’s the only downside of releasing that VN like 6 years later to the original. It kinda reminds me of Fate series, where because of things that play out and are shown in the anime, you’ll end up being spoiled no matter what. It’s not the same, just find them having the same problem. Releasing new content too far apart. Ok again your confusing me the correct watch order is Steins Gate 1-24 23b Steins Gate 0 1-23 -There’s also a way to simply skip spoiler, by simply completing the anime first then 23b and 0. It doesn’t really hurt the experience, but if you don’t watch 23b it completely leaves you confused. So yes, if one decides to watch Sg first and then 0, should know that 23b should be watched in between them. Obviously you should watch 23b before 0. My entire problem is your shoving this 23b in right after SG 1-22. No I'm sorry I normally don't call peoples opinions wrong but this watch order is wrong on every level. You can't even come up with a viable argument as to why this watch order is better. Reply if you want |
| I watched it in released order and I enjoyed it. In the end, it's your choice to make. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

I mean, I absolutely loved chronological order and steins gate likely would've not been my #1 all time had I watched it in release but to each their own ya know? That's fine your a rare case but I still disagree with this watch order as it does ruin the experience. You would not know if the release order would be better when you watched it in a different order from the start. The same can be said for me but the difference is release order is the correct order. Steins Gate is a visual novel and I played both SG ones. Would you stop in the middle of a book to read another book and go back to the original book? Also like I told the other user your "chronological" watch order isn't a true chronological watch order as Steins Gate is a tike travel anime. Your watch order is just to make 0 more relevant. |
Mr_Mavik said: You just need to watch them in the right order first you watch 22!!! episodes of Steins;Gate. Then you drop it and watch a special called Steins;Gate divided by zero. Then you watch the full Steins;Gate 0. And THEN you watch the final two episodes of Steins;Gate. Steins;Gate 0 is a "story loop" that starts on the 22nd episode of Steins;Gate and you see it's result in the 23rd episode of Steins;Gate. It's like in-between those two episodes with a transition in a form of a special. Yet another one calling it the right order. And you also kind of spoiled it too good job. |
WVM said: PLS NO SPOILERS I haven't watched BOTH ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ I see that Steins Gate 0 is not a S E Q U E L of Steins Gate.....so what it is actually??? is it ok just to watch only STEINS GATE??? Steins;Gate 0 is a prequel in a way to Steins;Gate. If you're planning on watching the shows, start with S;G. Watch its OVA and the movie. After that watch the special episode Divide by Zero, which leads straight into S;G 0. |
WVM said: PLS NO SPOILERS I haven't watched BOTH ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ I see that Steins Gate 0 is not a S E Q U E L of Steins Gate.....so what it is actually??? is it ok just to watch only STEINS GATE??? I mean technically, yes, you can only watch Steins;Gate if you want to. 0 is more so a semi-sequel to the original, but it isn't really required. I still recommend it if you enjoyed Stein;Gate up to that point (more on that later), but if you just want to watch something and move on, probably not for you. You could either do SG E 1-24 + OVA + Movie Or SG E 1-22 + 23B + SG0 E 1-23 + SG E 23-24 + OVA + Movie I'll just say 0 is a drop in quality compared to the original in most aspects (it has some great moments), but if you are interested in the characters (which you will be) it's certainly worth the grind, but if you find yourself not enjoying 0 no shame in going back to the original E 22-24 and finishing it there. That's my advice. |

| Steins gate 0 is the prequel to Steins;Gate canonically. But you can still watch steins gate first (episode 23 will make sense if you do). Be on the lookout for Operation Skuld which will be introduced on episode 23. |
 |
| You're fine to watch just the original if you want, it honestly wasn't anything amazing imo. If you do, like some others have said I would watch it in release order and not chronological, at least for the first viewing, since the pacing is completely different between the 2 shows. |

SnowHelation said: As everyone else has said, it’s recommended you watch Steins;Gate in chronological order. You won’t regret it. As most people have said don't watch it in this "chronological" order. It's not the correct order and like I told other user it's a damn time travel anime how is this watch order chronological? |
| wells its a alternative version of the ending of steins |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| Big yikes at people recommending the "chronological" order. The whole point of 0 is that you already know the ending of the original |
