Watch order (Again)

The watch order is

Chaos;Head
Steins;Gate
Steins;Gate Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing
Steins;Gate Divide by Zero OVA
Steins;Gate 0
Steins;Gate Egoistic Poriomania
Steins;Gate Load Region of Déjà Vu
Robotics;Notes
Chaos;Child
Occultic;Nine

Egoistic Poriomania and the movie did come before Zero, but they’re best watched after Zero in my opinion. To say why would be getting into spoilers, but the OVA and movie take place after Steins Gate 0.

Don't go for those stupid "correct order" you see on the internet. Just watch everything in the release order.
You can skip any movies as those are not considered canon. You can watch them at the end if you want.
Just watch the original season, then a special episode called ep 23 beta(available on YouTube I believe), which is basically an alternate reality of events in ep 23 and the. finish it off by watching steins gate 0 completely.

PS: When you say post credit scene, I think that means you watched stiens gate zero first, which was...a mistake probably as it definitely spoiled stuff from the original series then. But don't worry, just watch the original series (2010) then.

La_Bufu said:

no... just no..
people like you complicate things way too much and its not even the "correct order"

YamiLoon said:
a hassle-free timeline

Alexioos95 said:


Are you able to explain why is it the "best order" ? By the way, Steins;Gate 0 happen entirely before Episode 01 of the original series.

YamiLoon said:
What the heck? How exactly does 0 happen before the original series?

Alexioos95 said:



See, this is exactly why people who recommend this order actually did not understood anything, and just ruined the story.

YamiLoon said:
Dude, can you stop confusing me so much and just send me the watch order you have in your mind?

SciADV_Maniac said:
@YamiLoon the watch order is the release order. You are welcome

Alexioos95 said:


The watch order is the release order; that's how the story was intended to be experienced. They are just not chronological, like 99% of all stories.

Now, if you talk about the chronology, then there is a shit load of infos for all characters, it's impossible to make you a summary; just go play the Visual Novels. If we limit ourselves to the Okabe of the Animes, then:

@YamiLoon My guy, the fucking right order is the RELEASE ORDER, that's how the author intended his work to be consumed, in other words, finish Steins;Gate first (all 24 episodes) before watching anything else.

You are not supposed to stop Steins;Gate in the climax to shoehorn another anime in the middle of it, and it's not even chronological, that's a dumb fan-made order that some stupid fuck who doesn't understand anything about Steins;Gate created and has people like you confused.

Never, ever, EVER recommend people the fan-made "Chronological Order" which is the order you recommended above, just stop, you are complicating things for everyone.

@YamiLoon I get pretty cranky every time this topic is brought up, so I apologize for that.

In the context of a story written by someone, the correct is how the author expected his story be experienced. You can decide to interpret and likes the story how you want, sure, but it does not transcend what the author intended (yeah, i'm against "La mort de l'auteur").

And why chronologically to begin with ? 99% of stories literally weren't made chronological on purpose, and untangling the timelines ruins the effects of most scenes. The concept of chronological order is already an heresy to writing by itself, especially when talking about complex stories.

Now, the problem there is that your "simple answer" is not respected by any of the people pushing the "chronological order". They want everyone to follow them and that's it, there is no reflexion behind it; that's why questionning their reasoning always leads to a blank, or at best, a pot full of flaws.

Oh, and there is no closed thread on MAL. It only happens when someone breaks the rules of the site with his thread. All other are open forever.



The answer was already given in the first few posts, there is not even a need to scroll. I think too many people just blurt out their opinions, good or bad, without explaining the context around it tho, which is why i try to provide that context in my own posts.

Now, there is also the fact that it's far from the first time fans of the story have to explain the order as they are constantly annoyed by people pushing the chronological order who, obviously, didn't even understood the base-level reading of the story, while there was absolutely no such things for over a decade.



Doesn't hold the comparison for me; you are talking about a creation process, whereas it's about an alteration of something already fully created in our case. It makes more sense if we talk about remixed songs, but these remixes does lose the emotions, and possibly the storytelling too, there was to the original. Furthermore, that's something that is done only after having already experienced the original, that had the intent of the artist. That's why i'm not annoyed by different re-watch orders.



Maybe, but it's also unbelievably arrogant to think that you are the one that will make a revolution. There is way, way more stupid people than visionary ones in this world.

they are alternative non-canon endings.

Also, Robotics; Notes is actually on the Steins; Gate worldline - 1.048596

how exactly is that possible if Robotics; Notes happens 10 years later?
