Personally, I like VN better is because usually most anime I saw that were based off on VN were rush or lacking. I actually found I enjoyed the dub better for Steins Gate (in no way saying the sub was bad as it was very good as well). I found the dub to display the characters in a more personable way if that makes sense.
You most definitely should. IDK who you talked to, but you shouldn't trust their tastes. Especially if you loved the first season. Steins gate 0 explains a whole story that took place between Ep 24ẞ and Ep 24 basically if you wanted to watch it entirely and correctly, you'd watch it in this order.
The story of Steins Gate focuses on Okabe Rintarou, an 18-year-old boy obsessed with conspiracies and calling himself a mad scientist. He discovers Kurisu Makise, a young genius scientist, stabbed in a room one day.
Steins;Gate is an adaptation of the visual novel of the same name. It is set in 2010 in Akihabara, Tokyo, and follows Rintaro Okabe, a self-proclaimed "mad scientist", who runs the "Future Gadget Laboratory" in an apartment together with his friends Mayuri Shiina and Itaru "Daru" Hashida.
While Steins;Gate isn't “classified” or “marketed” as sad anime, it still has one of the most heartbreaking arcs in all anime. Steins;Gate tells the story of Okabe Rintarou, a college student and self-proclaimed mad scientist who accidentally discovers a way to change past events, by sending so-called D-mails.
While Steins; Gate is primarily a science fiction anime, it also doubles up as a thriller. And part of what makes a great thriller is a mystery along with twists, turns, and revelations sprinkled throughout the series' run. This particular series definitely does not disappoint in this department.
Classily designed and animated, Steins;Gate's full of fun visual touches. Its setting in Tokyo's Akihabara district – a Mecca for all things electronic and geeky – is perfect for its otaku-literate story, while its character designs are bright and distinctive.
The game is a romantic comedy set in a different world from the one in the original Steins;Gate, where the player builds romantic relationships with Steins;Gate characters. By making certain choices and interacting with the player character's cell phone, the player can affect the direction of the plot.
- Strong Language: The strong language is infrequent but usually the game have a mild language. Teens can play Steins;Gate and they don't be freak out just for some blood scenes and profanity.
but no, it's not a harem. There is only one girl called Kurisu and a trap named Ruka who take a romantic interest in Okabe.

The whole concept revolves around time travel. But mind you, Stein's;Gate isn't a typical time travel parody. Instead of having heavy sci-fi, the, the anime actually shows us how difficult it is to time travel, how building a time machine is no joke and most important, the time paradox.
I never expected this series to be this sad and tragic. I'm in episode 12 and the last five episodes or so have gotten me on the verge of tears. I don't think I will every cry at an anime, but this one almost made me do it.
Even so, Steins;Gate's appeal has a lot to do with its banter-based dialogue and Rintaro Okabe's peculiar view of the world. While a lot of the comedy falls flat, a self-described mad scientist and a plasma banana in a microwave do provide some relief from the depressing elements of the series.

The self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintarou Okabe rents out a room in a rickety old building in Akihabara, where he indulges himself in his hobby of inventing prospective "future gadgets" with fellow lab members: Mayuri Shiina, his air-headed childhood friend, and Hashida Itaru, a perverted hacker nicknamed "Daru." The three pass the time by tinkering with their most promising contraption yet, a machine dubbed the "Phone Microwave," which performs the strange function of morphing bananas into piles of green gel..
Steins;Gate is based on 5pb. and Nitroplus' visual novel of the same title released in 2009.
Adding romantic interests to the characters in anime is a good way of getting the viewer even more invested in the characters and to care about them more and how their overall personal plot points unfold. In this case, there is a particular romantic interest that develops with the main character, Rintaro Okabe.
However, the story is told entirely from the small scale of the Akihabara district of Tokyo. This gives the story a more intimate and unique angle.
First and foremost, the series is centered around the sci-fi concept of time travel. That alone should be enough to entice fans of the genre to at least check out the series. The story centers around Rintaro Okabe and his friends and how they accidentally discover a way to send text-based messages back in time.
Rintaro Okabe is delightfully arrogant, egotistical, eccentric, all that help make Rintaro so endearing in his own way and have the ability to carry the weight of the plot on his shoulders.
1 The Modern Japanese Setting. Of course, realism isn't something that is the primary premise of Steins; Gate with time travel being the center of the plot. However, for those that like a realistic and modern setting in their anime, this particular anime is a good stage for just that.
The first is that “stein” is derived from Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity plays a role in the story.
One thing which is unfortunately lost in the process of adapting a work from a print medium into something spoken like anime is wordplay. Wordplay plays a big role in the Japanese language, and this is no different for manga, anime, light novels, visual novels, video games, etc.
That is because the theory that they use is Okabe #1 (Okabe that killed Kurisu) went back in time to worldline 1.456789 (this is an example), while Okabe #2 (One that stabbed himself) went back in time to worldline 1.456788 (again an example). It’s a completely different worldline, but the change is so slight that the.
From the video, Okabe realises that Kurisu's death can be prevented. Okabe had never witnessed the scene where Kurisu was stabbed, but had only witnessed Kurisu lying in a pool of blood AFTER she was stabbed.
