A 24-episode adaptation widely considered one of the best anime ever made. Steins;Gate 0 (2018) A 23-episode adaptation of the sequel visual novel. Spin-offs & Side Material

The story takes place in the summer of 2010 in Akihabara, Tokyo—the mecca of otaku culture. We follow Rintaro Okabe, a self-proclaimed "Mad Scientist" who goes by the alias Hououin Kyouma . Okabe, along with his childhood friend, the tech-wizard and "hacker girl" Itaru "Daru" Hashida, and the gentle, brilliant Mayuri Shiina, runs the "Future Gadget Laboratory" out of a rundown apartment.

At the heart of this philosophical storm is Okabe’s transformation. He begins as a performance—a theatrical “mad scientist” named Hououin Kyouma, whose grand delusions are a shield against the mundane pain of reality. Through the crucible of time travel, this mask is shattered. He is forced to watch Mayuri die countless times, his screams of desperation replacing his cackling laughter. But the arc is not a simple tragedy. It is a journey toward a new kind of strength. The mask of Hououin Kyouma is not discarded; it is reforged. In the series’ climactic moment, Okabe must trick his past self, confront the trauma of Kurisu’s death, and willingly choose to fail in order to create a “Steins Gate”—a single, uncharted world line where both Mayuri and Kurisu live. He learns that true heroism is not the power to rewrite reality, but the will to face it head-on, to embrace its suffering, and to find the one, impossibly narrow path through.

At the heart of the story is Rintaro Okabe, a self-proclaimed "Mad Scientist" who goes by the alias Hououin Kyouma. He is a character that initially borders on parody. With his lab coat draped over his shoulders, his manic laughter, and his theatrical way of speaking, Okabe appears to be a man-child refusing to grow up. He spends his days in a run-down apartment he calls the "Future Gadget Laboratory" with his childhood friend Mayuri Shiina and his otaku hacker roommate, Itaru "Daru" Hashida.

Steins;Gate would be nothing without the eccentric ensemble of the Future Gadget Laboratory.
