Anime 9253 Steins Gate Userrecs

Boku dake ga Inai Machi like Steins Gate is about the main guy who has the ability to time-travel to the past to save someone dear to him. He ends up also having to save another girl from a tragic fate which he has romantic feelings for. Both anime start with a light mood and change drastically to a darker tone, dealing with the constant struggle of the hero endlessly trying to change the outcome of the future by changing the past. Also, If you watch Steins Gate the movie, you will find extra similarities with BDGIM. Really enjoyable animes with lot of mystery, great soundtrack and voice acting that will keep you interested from the beggining to the end. If you're a fan of Time-Travel both are a must watch and you'll definitely like one if you liked the other.   

Both of them are in a Dark theme with a wish to save someone in the past, To Fix a problem that happened in either present or past. 

I suppose its tiny bit of a spoiler, but both shows deal with time travel a fair bit. In particular, the main hero of both shows travels to the past for a chance to save the life of someone dear to him, while unraveling the mystery of what is happening around him. Both shows also contain elements of romance. The pacing of the shows is a bit different, as Boku Dake goes a bit faster, and the methods of time travel are different as well. S;G has more slice of lifey moments, and the main characters are fairly different. Theyre both outcasts of a sort, but S;G's protagonist could be seen as more immature. That said, both shows are very solid and if you like one, theres a decent chance youll like the other.  

I found that when I first started watching this anime, it instantly reminded me of Steins;Gate. The concept of going back in time and altering the past, and also with the incidents involving the protagonists I found were similar in a sense. Both have the male protagonist going back in time. This leads them to the future to see how what they have changed in the past has affected future events. However, I believe that Erased is more emotional and much shorter than Steins;Gate. 

Travels back in time to save dear ones and the plot makes you grip for more. 

Both involve time travel and heavily feature attempting to change the past for a better outcome. Erased focuses more on mystery and the changes Satoru makes as he relives his life while Steins;Gate centres more around the close relationships between Okabe and his lab assistants.  

Both of the stories revolve around time traveling concept. Both of the MCs are people who want to fix his past mistakes into creating a new timeline where the happy ending exists. 

-Both features the theme of time travel. -Both has the same plot of trying to prevent deaths by changing the future. -Both protagonist act as the leader of a group. -Both protagonist have special time-travelling ability.  

Both animes consist in saving important people to the main character, it is done in a way to make them understand better the mechanics of their ability to time travel. In each anime is presented a mystery about the murder, they unravel the mystery throughout the anime presenting new characters and linking the pieces of the puzzle together. They have extremely amazing history and direction, worth watching and recommending even for non-anime fans, the only bummer for non anime-watchers would be Okarin's personality (Steins;Gate main character) who is an outgoing character that yells and make jokes most commonly observed in japanese midia. 

Both shows involve similar time travel mystery. They are similar in many more ways that I cannot describe, yet I can assure you that you won't regret watching Steins;Gate if you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi. Don't let the first 6-8 episodes of S;G let you down, it gets better, trust me. 

Dude goes back in time to save chick. Erased has a very visual novel-like atmosphere which is why people are reminded of Steins;Gate, an anime actually based on a VN. The colours used in both shows are quite drab and dark, with a similar atmosphere of desperation. Both shows have an adult cast. Aside from the main point re: time travel and chick-saving; the characters, their interactions, and the themes are all very different. 

- time travelling - save people to prevent serious matters - fight their biggest enemies - Good OP - smart MC - has their own unique artstyle 

-both main character goes back in time to try to change the story and only they are aware of it. 

Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) both contain elements of time travel (Steins;Gate more than Erased). Both have really good characters and animation, both have a very interesting and engaging story and really get you invested in whats going on. I highly recommend this! 

This show is frail in comparison to the time travel in steins;gate. In stiens;gate the main character has a personality while retaining the basic urge to save his friends and loved ones. Yeah, you can do that with a personality. Also the time travel itself is the premise and the plot. In Erased time travel is just a tool the main character uses to attempt to capture the killer. In stiens;gate the killer is not obvious and it's very hard to tell when the plot twist will be. Meanwhile in Erased it was so obvious who was the killer. In fact I didn't think the person could be the killer because it was too obvious. Anyway basically Steins;Gate>ERASED because Erased just wasn't written as cleverly.   

- Very smart main character... - ...who has to get back in time to prevent someone's suffering/death - Clean visuals, catchy soundtrack - Amazing storytelling 

A Series about time Travel and Correcting the past much like Boku dake ga Inai Machi. Light Comedy and a thrilling emotional Story.  

Time travel & try to change destiny 

ON the surface these shows are very similar. There is time travel and the goal of saving people. One of these shows is consistent with its plot and characters (Steins Gate) and one is not (ERASED). One hints at things slowly and one clumsily hits you with blunt clues. I could make this list forever. But at the end of the day I recommend Steins Gate for fans of Erased and not the other way around. 

Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi revolve around the central idea of trying to save a life of someone dear to you by going back in time, only to find out that more problems and challenges have arisen. Steins;Gate explores more in depth into the time-travel theory and where the ability to time travel came from, thus the longer than usual 24 episodes while Boku dake ga Inai Machi takes are more simpler and easy-to-digest approach; just 12 episodes, on the time travel theme to take preventative measures to resolve a death and change the future. 

In both anime the main character has to go back in time to save someone he holds dear 

It's time travel, my dudes. Both are a part of "good taste starter pack", both are really good - and both share the main theme. 

Time travel...  

MC experiences time loops. There's an energetic, cute female with a distinct presence. They both start very excited and have a thrilling, creepy vibe to them. 

Both shows give the same feeling, the Main Character in both shows go back in time to prevent something horrible that will happen in the future 

Steins;Gate is also about time travel, the consequences of changing the past and dealing with it's given repercussions. Both show also deal with a lot of mystery that affect both the past and present. If you want more, Robotics;Notes is set in the same "universe" as Steins;Gate, albeit a very different type of anime yet 'affected' by the events of Steins;Gate. While we're at it, check out Chaos;Head as well. These three in chronological order are: Chaos;head Steins;Gate Robotics;Notes Take it or leave it, your call. Either way, I've personally enjoyed these selections. 

Both anime shows have a complex plot line. Both ERASED and Steins;Gate involve time travelling to prevent something bad from happening. In my opinion, both animes are very similar and both shows are a must watch. 

Time travelers, butterfly effect, grandfather paradox...Steins; Gates is, above all, an incredible story about friendship. Boku take ga Inai Machi shares the framework, the main idea and goal: change the future from the past. 

Both consist of the protagonist having to time travel back to save someone he cares for. Only Steins;Gate does it better in my opinion and actually has a solid explaination for the time travel mechanism. 

Both show are about time travel. 

Revival=Reading Steiner ;) Both contain epic time travel. Brace yourselves. 

Both have a relation with time travel and both play with your mind. Moreover, you do not know what's going to happen in any of them. 

Both animes series are based on the ''Time travelling'' subject. In both of the series the main character is trying to save someone dear to him. There are major differences in the two animes , like Steins;Gate has a comedy side too and it's not as serious as BDGIM. BDGIM is more emotional and dramatic. Both of the series are worth watching , If you liked one of them you will like the other one for sure. 

Both include the theme of time travel, only difference being Boku dake ga Inai Machi is based on supernatural, whereas Steins;Gate is based on science. Boku dake ga Inai Machi is currently airing, showing another theme of having to go back in time to save someone. 

Eccentric MC Time travel Above Standard Animation Only difference is Steins gate did everything else better but took longer to develop it plot.....hence why its above Boku dake on MAL. So if you watched boku dake, go watch this classic. 

Main character in both series are able to time-travel from the present to the past. The story centres itself with the theme of good versus evil with the main character having to make each and every small decision which can greatly affect the future depending on the actions done from the past. 

Same kind of story: time travel, destiny, a bit romantic, friends. 

Both have extremely well and tastefully written plots and characters, are thrilling and galvanizing. They conjure up intense feels and deal with time leaps. 

- Both revolve around the same idea of someone trying to change the future to prevent a murder - Both have protagonists that originally look bland but are actually great characters - Both have quirky looking, realistic characters - The biggest difference is that Boku Dake gets going much faster than Steins; Gate, but even this little detail has made some people think these series are very different 

Similar time travel concepts and psychological elements, and the main characters of both series have very similar experiences. Both series also have a fantastic story and good character development too. 

-Both shows have a time travel setting. -Both shows have lovable characters. -Both shows have the main character trying to save someone. Here's some advice: make sure to watch them back to back. I did that and it was amazing. 

-time travel -trying to save a person changing things on the past -Both have really good plot and drama. 

--In both animes MC go back in the past to change their fate..Though in Steins;Gate, the repeated failure can make you cry... :'( --In both animes... The MC go back in the time to save their beloved ones.. --Both of them start off with a light start and then paces up.... --And of course, How can I forget about THEM... The cliffhangers in both are just...OTHERWORDLY...(Keep an eye out when watching them, U might actually DIE!) Steins;Gates is a more Sci-Fi based anime...and makes use of time travel theories which actually exists...While Erased does not make any use real life theories and is a bit more Supernatural... But, No Doubt, Both are a MUST WATCH!  

Time Travel? Changing the Past? Both of these got it. Plus a whole deal with the psychological effect. Also, each MC has a smart person that figures out that something is up and tries to help. I don't want to spoil either of these series, so just watch it 

Traveling back and forth to the past, to prevent nasty things from happening to the protagonists. Both anime contain few good times too, however. 

Both animes are about time travel. Fujinuma Satoru and Okabe Rintarou time travel to past to save someone. Both endure failure and had to travel through time in several times to achieve their goal. This allows them to experience multiple timelines. 

Both series feature spirited protagonists, that might feel isolated from those around them, but are determined to the right thing and fix their mistakes - this may sound clichéd, but they both have enough quirks and enough charm to keep them interesting. From a genre perspective - both feature time travel and the idea of alternate worlds and realities, and the idea of preserving relationships across these boundaries. The artwork, particularly the backgrounds, is something definitely worth noting, as there as some stunning scenes throughout. Steins;Gate has more "lighter" moments, perhaps due to the added length, but both series definitely have plenty of suspenseful moments that'll have you moving onto the next episode as quickly as you can. And they both feature ambiguously-gendered boys. :P   

Both of the anime's main character has the abillity to travel in time to save beloved people. Both are breath taking, If you're looking something similar then here it is! Loved it! 

Time travelers, butterfly effect, grandfather paradox...Steins; Gates is, above all, an incredible story about friendship. Boku take ga Inai Machi shares the framework, the main idea and goal: change the future from the past. Rintaro –Steins; Gate– and Satoru –Erased–, are in charge of it. The characters share more than it could seem.  

-Both anime tell about time time travel (especially back to the past). -Both main character try to save someone that important to them. 

they're both about time travel "kind of". and they're both really good... that was enough reason for me to watch it xD 

Both stories involve time travel used for the purposes of preventing a terrible event Both stories have a murder mystery and friendship as central plot points Both have light romantic undertones Both stories have a deep emotional impact and are overall quite touching In general, there is a very similar thematic feel between these two animes, and if you like one then you will most likely enjoy the other. 

Both anime series involve a male protagonist going back in time to prevent a death. The difference is that one involves the use of technology to intentionally time travel and in the other, time travel is a super natural ability that the protagonist has little control over. I highly recommend both series and am confident you will enjoy both series' unique approach to stories involving time travel. 

Changing the future by fixing the mistakes done in the past plays a huge part in both series. In both anime, the main character tries to save someone important to them by traveling to the past. Both shows also keep you at the edge of your seat as you follow the protagonist on their mission and see the consequences of the actions and mistakes done by them. 

Both animes are related to time travel and the problems that accompany it. Characters are tested in difficult situations and will face difficult decisions to save their loved ones. 

is about the main guy who has the ability to time-travel to the past to save someone near him. 

This anime series is really similar of steins gate. Bouth are about time travel. 

Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi revolve around the concept of the butterfly effect, where one action causes a chain effect into the future. Both protagonists continually travel back in time to fix the main cause and to fix their futures from something both Okabe and Satoru don't want to have. Both are great fiction animes with Steins;Gate more on a technical, machine level and Boku dake ga Inai Machi with a simple ability. 

Both involve time-travel, emotions and mystery. Both has main characters in the age range 20-30 (Although, boku dake ga inai machi has the childhood past of the main character where he is a boy). Also, both has some romantic moments. 

Why? because they both have deep emotional story lines. Though both have a slow start if you get past the first few episodes, you will be entering a battlefield of emotions. I cried watching both, and so will you. Enough said! 

The way the protagonist has to go through time and solve his problems  

Another time-travel theory is present in this series, though compared to Steins;gate, Boku dake ga Inai Machi's time-travel occurs as a natural phenomenon instead of actually (and specifically) manipulating time. Both protagonists are on a quest to change the future by saving their loved ones, and their journey of fighting the evil ones (Criminal in ERASED, Organization in S;g) from being successful in their evil deeds. 

Boku dake ga Inai Machi is a very confusing anime and it isn't very easy to figure out whats going on,similar to Steins;Gate where your mind gets blown when the main character discovers something important. This isn't the only reason it is similar to Steins;Gate as the main character in Boku dake ga Inai Machi gets sent backwards in time,with his previous memories when a death or negative things happen around that he has to prevent. 

A powerful and pur love story! This affirmation is perfect for those anime. Like in ,,Stein;Gate", ,,Boku dake inai machi has a unique way to tell a story by breaking time and help the protagonist to protect his lover and his friends. Those anime are REALLY similar but they stil have their original and exciting story involving time traveling and friendship. 

Both animes have time travels and they need to solve one problem in the past for get a better future. The main characters need to rescue a girl for being murdered, even if their life becomes more dangerous... 

-Both series are based on time travelling -While in 'Erased' its the main character's ability to do so, 'Steins;Gate' tries to put it in a scientific and logical way -In both anime, the main character time travels to save the ones close to them specifically females -Both seem very boring in the first parts of the anime but get excellent later -Erased focuses on the main character most of the time when but steins;gate puts the characters in groups and give an overall view of whats happening not just the main character's thoughts -Both have some great plot twists and one of them revolving around a character -Both have the main character having some psychological conflicts later in the series While I think Erased fans will love steins;gate, i can not say the opposite because some say steins;gate has that 'Masterpiece' element but everyone has different views so feel free to try  

Time travel can become interesting when coupled with great plots, if you look for it in another anime in this story line Steins; Gate was made for you. 

This anime also deals with time travel, and has a strong focus on suspense and mystery. It features complex characters and an engaging plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 

Both features the ability to time travel. They also bring up the subject of tragedy and sadness of attempting to go back in time to save loved ones. Steins;Gate does go on a more scientific route when it comes to time traveling while Erased tends to gear towards the subject of crime and mystery.  

Steins;Gate and Erased share a lot of similar traits: - both involve time travel (though it's explained more thoroughly in Steins;Gate) - MC travels back in time to save a loved one - both have a similar atmosphere/feel - intriguing plot and keeps you on edge Even though Erased is more of a mystery anime than Steins;Gate, I found myself frequently drawing similarities between the two shows. If you liked the feel and premise of one anime, you will most likely enjoy the other 

ERASED had a potential that was unfortunately never utilized to its full potential, with its conclusion failing to wrap up things as satisfyingly as it should have been. This may have been recommended time and time again, but Steins;Gate is the epitome of time-travel anime, after all, with its science fiction elements fully explored within the course of its whole run and a deeper and darker feeling...that ERASED should've had, mind you, if it was only ever expanded upon aside from being a mere plot device. 

Both anime focus on the male protags travelling through time to save the girls most important to them. However, SG focuses more on the science aspect of the story, while Erased's focus is more on solving a mystery, as well as the protag's feelings about the "new" set of people around him. In my opinion, SG is far better because it does not have one tenth the number of plot holes that Erased does, but then again, others will have a different opinion. 

In both cases the protagonist returns to the past, trying to stop something from happening in the future, while struggling to cope with the fact that he is the only one that knows of this future event. Both protagonists are also seemingly helpless when it comes to action, so their struggle is completely intellectual. 

Both of the shows are based on the chaos theory called "The Butterfly Effect" which is quite interesting to watch - because I, myself am a big fan of the theory. Both of them have likable characters! Both of them are serious but still have humor in them, even though "Boku dake ga Inai Machi" is more serious and much shorter than the epic "Steins; Gate" 

Both series involve going back through time. I don't want to reveal too much so I'll leave it like this. Both are great anime for sure. :) 

Both got time travel fantasy on it. Both got alot of drama and plot twists within it. Steins Gate talking about the consicuinces of changing the past. While boku dake ga inai machi changing the past for better future. 

The main character has Time travel manipulation powers which is able to assist him in saving the ones he cares about. 

The MC went back in time to save a girl. Romance is pretty good. Entertaining to watch. Same dark vibe, in my opinion. 

These are both great shows. Both main characters go through similar struggles and repeatedly re-do events for a different outcome. The setting albeit differ from one another still make for very similar shows. Both are great thrillers. I love them both. 

They both focus on a basic concept of time travel(of sorts) and focus on saving a loved one by altering past actions. High on suspense and moments that could give you goosebumps no matter how many times you watch them...Great Stories...Highly recommended. 

Both revolve around time travel to erase past mistakes and fight for a better future. They have really good characters (with similar main characters) and animation, both have a very interesting and engaging story and you really get invested in whats going on. 

Both impossible love story Both male lead doing time travel Both this is best saddnest anime ever 

If you enjoyed Erased, chances are you'll love Steins;Gate. Both anime delve into time travel and are intelligent seinens that prioritize character development and logical storytelling. However, in my opinion, Steins;Gate is the best time travel anime I've seen and happens to be my favorite anime overall. Considering this, if you liked Erased, Steins;Gate is an excellent choice in every aspect. 

Both shows feature lovable MC's and heartwarming characters. Both shows also deal with Time travel in similar but unique ways. 

-TIME TRAVEL/THRILLER best combo -GOOD OP -Well written plot (especially S;G) -SMART MC (yes okabe 200IQ confirm) -Both characters are a leader of their group of friend -Both characters got a special time related power -Both characters trying to save their partner 

Time travel, changing the past to save someone motive and a serious tone ♥ Suspense;Mystery 

Fairly dark and psychological time travel shows with interesting art styles and presentation, though with stories that go on different directions. 

Time travel anime about preventing certain events from occurring. 

both about time traveling and changing destiny and saving someone. 

The concept of time travel is very similar and if you watched one of them you'll probably like the other. 

Erased draws the easy comparison to Steins;Gate in that they're both time travel anime. Running the connection a little deeper, Erased is also home to its own set of likable characters and time travel consequences. 

Similar kinda story but you'll get much more different between 'em. Boku Dake ga Inai Matchi has a great story with the MC.s supernatural ability to go to the past and the desire to save his classmate from a kidnapper.I am sure you'll enjoy it. 😊😊  

Both animes have interesting time travel tramas and both characters travel through time to save their dear friends! If you liked Steins;Gate you might like Erased as well. 

Both about time travel and saving someone 

Same "return to past mechanics" and very intricate and interesting plot. Just like Steins; Gate, is very fond of the characters. 

both are about time travelling and will surely make you loose your breathe 

Both MCs try to make changes the past occurrences in order to save the girl's life. They both a have an opportunities of traveling to the past, even though in different ways. 

-Both anime revolve around time travel -similar if not same concepts -the main characters spend the entirety(mostly)saving others but in an completely different manner -Awesome ops 

Both are similar because of the going back in time/time travel aspect. Using time table to save your comrades 

If you like such a masterpiece as steins gate, then you may also like Boku dake ga inai machi, in both anime titles the main character moves in time, into the past in order to change the future, to prevent someone's death or change the future in a good way ... In steins gate, science is used, a time machine, in Boku dake ga inai machi there is no science, the main character has the ability to travel to the past if some bad event occurs. I advise you to watch Boku dake ga inai machi, good anime, that's for sure, you'll love it! I'm sure :)  

If you loved the time travel aspect OR the characters of Steins;Gate, Erased should be your next stop. A short anime that features both time travel and lovable characters, it is almost able to match the intensity and depth of Steins;Gate even as it spends most of the story focused on elementary school children. 

Both are great animes. In ERASED there is no scientific logic for the revival but the theme is somewhat similar to that of steins gate. However, steins gate will still be the best.  

Both of them have time travel element. The main character is somehow similar to each other, to protect/save everything he loved. And at honestly, Erased is Steins;Gate but lite. 

They are similar due to the time travelling mechanic both animes possess. But Boku dake ga Inai Machi uses the time travelling mechanic in a kind of different way than Steins;Gate. If you like Steins;Gate's plot I can almost guarantee, that you will love the story of Erased. 

1) Both of them involved a travel back-and-forth between the past and future and the effort to change it 2) Both of the characters are a man who want to change certain event to change the whole sequence of the future 3) Both of the series involves an intense story and real-life interraction just like your typical daily activities 

If you enjoyed Steins;Gate for being intense and jaw-droppping, then you might also like ERASED. It has a similar way of revealing shocking moments that make their show interesting and time traveling is evident. ERASED only has a few episodes to watch so it is good if you are looking for a short anime that might give you a similar experience as you watch.  

Both are emotional masterpeice. They are psychological horror/thriller and twisted time travel perfectly done. One is HARD scifi (S;g) other is fantasy (erased). Both deals consequences of time travel, butterfly effect, Chaos theory and both protagonists are Not in good mental state at the end of anime. Well both are stunning masterpeice for me. Erased is hindi dubbed also!  

-Thriller Anime with Heavy Emotional Beats - Great soundtrack - intriguing mystery elements 

These two go well together because they deal with time travel and the plot twists are as shocking. The protagonists are pretty similar in the way they act which gives them the same appeal. 

Both include time travel and have good amount of suspense.  

Great time travel stories about saving someone. 

The same type of story, but this one is less sci-fi. Almost the same epic and thrilling experience as Steins Gate. The consequences is as big as Steins gate, with faster pacing 

Steins;gate is infinitely times better so if you liked Erased this will be amazing. Both revolve around time travel, yet only truly captures the essence of it.  

Similar to Steins;Gate, Erased asks the question "If you could go back in time to prevent a tragedy of a loved one, would you?" While Erased ignores science for a more supernatural explanation of time travel, it follows the same principle. Distinctly, Erased touches on the nostalgia of childhood, while teasing the audience with its engaging murder mystery throughout the series 

Both series use time travel similarly and tell a similar story, since in both shows the main character travels through time in order to saved a loved one. 

Both involve time travel of sorts and highlight the struggles one must face when given the power of time travel. Also in depth characters and very engaging storylines 

- The protagonists travel back in time in order to save their friend; - Lots of focus on the characters and their relationship with one another; - Cozy yet suspenseful atmosphere. 

Both animes consist in saving important people to the main character, it is done in a way to make them understand better the mechanics of their ability to time travel, In each anime, is presented a mystery about the murder, they unravel the mystery throughout the anime presenting new characters, and linking the pieces of the puzzle together, They have extremely amazing history and direction, 

Both are about time travel psychologically and the storys are kinda similar, going to the past solve everything be done  

Two absolute master pieces of time travel. Words can't describe how great of an experience these two animes gave me. From the awesome narrative to the genius use of time travel mechanics, i guarantee that'll you'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you're a fellow time traveler and haven't watched both of these, what are you waiting for? 

-Time travel -Best Heroine -ULTIMATE PUROTUWIZU -Best sung (ost/op/ed) -hmm etc 

The two characters always striving to save the people who love them... they are very similar, all involving sacrifice, hope, death and others. I recommend. 

The MC from both series try to save someone important to him from a certain fate. 

A time travel mystery about a boy trying to save a girl, while also trying to uncover the reason behind her death. Probably the most similar show to Steins; Gate that I've seen, but it is significantly worse. 

It is almost exactly the same as steins gate, with its subject and processing style. Like Steins Gate, time travel and romance are successfully combined. It has a gripping plot. Their music and visuals can't even come close to steins gate level, but give it a chance. While watching, you should not expect much humor as in steins gate. 

They talk about time travel. If you like one of them, give the other one a try. 

Rintaro Okabe is a "mad scientist" who spends most of his time inventing random things. One day, he invents a device that allows him to send messages backward in time. This unexpected development gives him the opportunity to save his freind from a terrible fate - which isn't too far off from Satoru's time-traveling feats. Steins;Gate takes things a little further than ERASED does - rather than just trying to save one person as Satoru does, Okabe is trying to take down a massive conspiracy. If you're looking for something a little more complex and scientifically minded than what ERASED had to offer, this might be your next new favorite.   

Both explore the main characters psychology pretty well, altough Erased is far more weaker in this aspect. Both feature a main character who posesses time traveling abilities. But the abilities are handeled very differently. Both include extensive amounts of drama. 

- Time travel & time loops to save a loved one - Intelligent main character & cast 

Both have time-travel mechanics which are used for saving someone. Both are amazing animes as well. 

If you're a fan of time travel-themed anime like Steins;Gate, then you might enjoy the anime Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi). The show follows a struggling manga artist named Satoru who has the power to go back in time to prevent tragic events from happening. When he's accused of murder, he finds himself transported back to his childhood, where he must prevent a series of kidnappings that happened in his hometown years ago. Erased offers a complex and thought-provoking plot, with well-crafted characters and intricate plot twists. The animation and soundtrack are both top-notch, and the show has received critical acclaim for its storytelling and emotional depth. If you're looking for another thrilling and mind-bending anime, definitely give Erased a try!  

Both series are about time travel, the protagonists try to change the time line.  

Butterfly effect 

Time traveling is always a popular theme for anime.But it is risky because it can cause a lot of plot holes.Then again those two anime don't have a problem about that at all.Both mc have similar goal and reason for using time travel again and again.Steins;Gate hasn't got any real fight scenes but it has much philosophical approach about time travel.Both are done by the same studio so animation style is similar too. 

Both anime revolve mostly around an ordinary guy who does his best to protect those he cares about, no matter how many times he has to do it: - Both Guys who are suddenly caught in a spiral of disastrous events - Both have something to do with the Butterfly Effect/Travelling back in time - Both MC's are pretty powerless and non-significant at first - Both MC's will stop at nothing to save those they care about  

The protagonist is forced in a continuous time loop and attempts to redo the reality by making different choices with the help of knowledge from previous loops - in a way that would result in less gruesome fate, most of the time to protect his close ones. 

Essentially similar concept. Re:Zero is basically Steins;Gate meets KonoSuba. 

Similar theme of live die repeat. In case of steins gate he doesnt get to do the dying part. -Both mc's start to lose it after a while. -A romatic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in bith shows. -Steins;Gate is more of a sci fi and re zero more of a fantasy anime. -Both can be very dreadful and life draining at times. -The ending is spectacular in both shows. All and all if you enjoy the one I believe you will enjoy the other one. Steins;Gate can be difficult to watch specialy early on but dont give up. The end is what matters. 

Re:Zero and Steins;Gate featured an MC with similiar power: time travel. And the 'time travel' aspect of these series isn't just some cool sci-fi material, it has a little dark element attached to it: 'death'. Both MC tried to save people around them from the hand of the reaper, they also touched upon the psychological aspect of the MC as the only one who remember the events from before the timeline is altered. Also, both series are produced by the same studio and have fantastic, fluid animation. However, while Steins;Gate is a bit slow on the beginning, Re:Zero show its dark element right on the very first ep.  

well, if i tell will be a spoiler, but just knows that both are good and the "time travel" envolving a friend is "similar" 

If you like watching someone getting desperate to save everything by some kind of "time-travel" you would love this show instantly.  

Despite opposite settings, both of these series feature time looping as the main plot device and strong character development, plus similar themes of selflessness and looking forward rather than behind. 

Both of these animes have the same theme of going back in time to save a life, but in one the person has to die in order to change time while the other simply has to microwave a burrito. Other than that the series as a whole seems completely different. 

“Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu” and “Steins;Gate” have the concept of going back in time. Problems are always arising for the main characters. Whenever they think they can catch a break, something around them has to go wrong. Furthermore, their mental state will be affected from seeing the people around them suffer. With that being said, these anime can have a very dark and serious tone. While “Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu’s” storyline is set in a fantasy world, “Steins;Gate” focuses on a real life aspect. 

In Steins;Gate the mc makes a time leap machine and the plot becomes saving his friend by time leaping. In re:zero, The mc also uses time leap to save his friends. In the both series, they need to figure the way how to save people. In rezero, by triggering specific events, meanwhile in Steins;Gate by redoing his actons.  

If you've seen them both then you'll know this is an obvious comparison. Slight spoilers for story premises here, but nothing that would ruin either for you if you haven't seen them yet. Both of these Anime are by White Fox, and have more or less the same story structure and premise: The main character has the power to rewind time somehow, and this interferes with the natural order of things. As such, they lose people they care about, and end up going back again and again, growing increasingly desperate, as they try to get the perfect result. Both stories have a great deal of intrigue and mystery to them as well and are, at least in my opinion, utterly unpredictable. Both well worth watching, I highly recommend both.  

Both shows have a very similar concept around them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both produced by the same studio, White Fox. The main protagonists of both shows can act like goofballs at times, but become serious and dependable when it comes to helping others out. I don't want to say too much as it's best to go into both of these shows blind and I definitely recommend both of them. Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both fantastic shows produced by White Fox though Re:Zero is very controversial at times. This is only my opinion though. 

the similarities 1)same studio 2)same topic- time travel 3)both the MC travels time to save someone. 4)both the MC are goofy but when the situations calls they become serious. difference 1)Steins;gate is a science fiction while Re:zero is a fantasy. 

Time travel concept, similar animation styles and made by the same studio ( white fox studio). Both also have a complex plot and interesting story. 

Both have to do with going back in time to save someone they care about. The protagonists are both funny and goofy but have a darker tragic side. However, Re:Zero has more gore and takes place in a fantasy environment and Steins;Gate is more realistic. 

Someone at White Fox be like: "You guys remember this anime about time travel we made few years ago, that everybody loved? Let's do that again!" 

Similar in that both main characters have the ability to travel back in time ,and that they use that power to try to save a loved one. 

A goofy, but series when the time calls protagonist gets himself into a time travel loop where he must save his closest compatriot. 

-both are related to different worldline and travelling back time -both the MC are air headed but serious in tough situations -both MC travel back time to save someone -both shows have really cute girls... and interesting plot and twist.... 

Both start happy and lighthearted but descend into madness. The main character undergoes extreme stress, due to certain events. Both involve time travel and returning to the same time. The main guys have many similarities. Both involve a romance. Both have a cat girl named F(a/e)ris and a trap. 

- Both have dimensional travel - Dark elements. However, steins;gate focuses more on time travel as Re:Zero focuses on fantasy and dimensional travel.  

The vibe from both series are very alike; intense, hilarious and much more. The main characters are also very similar; they are not afraid to speak their mind to express themselves, and they often go out of their way to help other people. What's more similar is that both series deal with time-travel where the main character is able to go back into time to make better decisions to avoid similar incidents of occurring again.  

Great plot with time travel stories. A main character tries to save the person that he loves by the time leap. 

-Both feature hilarious protagonists -Both involve... hmm... how shall we say this without giving to much away.. A way of 'resetting' -Made by the same studio, similar art style -Start slow but reveal the truth later 

They both have time travel where the main character must go back mutiple times. 

- Mayushii always suffering - The local MC always suffering too but he lived from his checkpoint - Immature MC - Cringy MC 

In both anime the main character starts from the beginning each time he fails to save his beloved person, both see them die again and again in multiple ways and that experience takes its toll, They both lose hope at one point but someone gives them the courage to not stop and continue. 

Trime travel plays a major role in both animes. Rintarou Okabe and Subaru Natsuki are able to travel backward in time in order to save someone they care about. This time travel happens multiple times throughout the anime. 

-Both anime tell about LIVE - FAIL/DIE - REPEAT sequence. -Both main character try to save someone that important to them using time machine (for Steins;Gate) and using checkpoint (for Re:Zero). -Both anime contain a lot of emotion, especially desperation, fear, and love. -Both anime have most popular waifu (Kirisu for Steins;Gate and Rem for Re:Zero). 

Made by the same studio, Re:Zero may not be as great as Steins;Gate but many elements such as time travel and a wacky main character are still present 

Both Animes follow similar time travel theme where MC can go back and still remember the other timeline to accomplish a goal. I would also mention Madoka being in the same league. P.S. this is my favorite genre 

Both the series , the guys have an ability to go back to the past , in both the series the girls are targeted for their life , in both the series the guys go back again and again to prevent the deaths of their nakama , and in both the series they reach success but by passing through a long line of pain !! 

Two incredible series about time-travelling and the absolute chaos that attempting to change the past can do to one's psyche. They're both mature series with fantastic story-telling, characters, music, and art. Steins;Gate is in my opinion the superior of the two due to its superior story-telling and cast, but Re:Zero is fantastic in its own right. 

Carismatic main character that sometimes acts like an air-headed but it's not, at least not that much. Time traveling, deaths, same studio, interesting plot. 

The two main protagonists, Okabe and Subaru, work with time whether it is through a machine or an ability (There is more similarities with this. However, I will leave it a surprise.). The story revolves around take action and changing the future, otherwise known as the Butterfly Effect. Both animes are made by the same studios and are enjoyable to watch after the first few episodes. 

The male protagonists are very alike, as they share the traits of being humorous, caring, energetic, and emotional. The female protagonist believes in the male protagonist, which is something both anime share as well. Both shows have a lot of humor now and then, and they also have mysteries that the protagonists have to solve through thorough investigation. In the end, I honestly think that if you loved Steins;Gate, you most likely will love Re: zero as well. Not only that, they are from the same studio. The only difference between the two is the setting and the difference darkness between the two anime. Re: Zero is mostly the definition of Steins;Gate and the fantasy world. My favorite of this season, as I love deep and dark psychological anime. If you love dark and psychological anime, you most definitely will like this as well.  

Both have almost the same concept of time travel. A guy who travel to past to save his friends from death. The idea is: if you liked Re:Zero, you might love Steins;Gate 

Before you click away because you're thinking, 'this can't be an accurate recommendation', just hear me out. There's only one thing that these two have in common: redo parts of life to save the ones you love. It sometimes may seem impossible to keep on going, but keep trying and don't give up - this is the core message in both. So if you like these kind of underlying messages (like I did), you won't regret watching them. 

Compelling portrayals of despair and the growing feeling of madness and regret over one's actions repeated over a time loop. Also, both White Fox productions. 

Both are time travel series. Both have the concept of going back in time to save someone. Hilarious protagonists that are total air heads XD But there is a difference in the way that use to return the time back in re zero he must die and return to chikpont its more like Game but in steins:gate they Using scientific ways that are more realistic 

Same animation studio, time travel elements, quirky characters, psychological impact of tragedy on the characters.  

Rather than being able to time-travel, Re:Zero gives Subaru(Main character) the ability to "reset" time up to a particular point as soon as he dies. Similar to Steins;Gate, the main protagonists are both thrown in the dilemma of going through trials again and again to obtain the desired result. However, this journey of trying to get the best situation affects their character and drains them of their "Humanity" at some point. Events will unfold as their journey continues. 

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu is probably the most popular anime released during the summer of 2016. From watching both Steins gate and Re:zero I've noticed how both the Main Characters go back in time some how to stop current events from happening. Steins Gate is by far the most confusing anime I've every seen, even episode 1 was very confusing, but everything makes sense when they explain it around the middle part of the series. If you are looking for romance in Steins Gate, then theres not that much at the beginning but there is quite a lot of romance towards the end. Steins Gate is also one of the most "Feels" anime I've seen. Be sure to check it out! I'd rate Steins Gate 9/10  

It reminds me a little to re: zero only that the protagonist in my opinion is better developed. really the characters will like you, as much as its history. Thanks to this, I fell in love with travel in time. It is a masterpiece. I only saw myself this season, I have to see the rest but I'm content to see that end. 

Arguably the best time travel story I have ever had the pleasure to watch, Steins;Gate offers the time traveling thriller story with genuinely interesting characters without using as much gore as portrayed in Re:Zero.  

Same "Time-Reset" Mechanic and psychological Elements. 

Both shows are about how time travel has consequences, and can cause emotional stress for the time traveler. Re:Zero has more fantasy than science, but if you want a show to give you similar feels to Steins;Gate, this is the show. 

Both the MC have the chance to alter the future to save someone who is precious to them. 

In both of them, there is a time travel relation 

Both have a return to previous area plot device. If you are into an anime that involves going back into time then you are in the right place. 

Both share a high level of comedy and writing. But what really links these shows are the main characters. They start off with a (seemigly) happy MC surrounded by friends they care a lot for. Then said friends die. Again. And Again. And Again. Inability to change the past leads to worsening mental states as they begin fighting not only fate, but themselves as well. In Steins;Gate this only happens in the second half of the show; in Zero, it's the whole thing. If you liked Okabe's character deconstruction and are looking for something similar, then I highly recommend this show. Just beware, it's a very dark show, despite what the first few episodes might lead you to believe.  

Very interesting takes on "time travel" 

Both were made by the same studio, basically meaning there are similarities in the animation quality. Both of the main characters face the tragedy of failing to save the people they care about over and over again. Both deal with the usage of time travel. 

Firstly both anime is produced by the same studio. MC has similar time traveling related abilities. Author represents how both mc stuggles through hardship again again to save the person they care about. Both anime have it's beautiful share of characters that are loveable. Gives of a similar vibe even though both are not from the same genre! 

Plot Heavy and Time Travel or the idea of messing with Timelines is explored!  

Both shows follow their main character through traumatic events where they end up going back in time to fix their mistakes only to make more. As they attempt to fix all of their problems, they end up suffering from the consequences of altering history. 

Both animes have the main character attempting to save what he loves the most, and they both go through a series of serious torment, confusion and desperation in order to achieve his goal while the other characters are almost clueless on why the main character is acting different all of a sudden.  

To be honest since seeing Steins;Gate I have been looking for a psychological thriller along the same lines. With that in mind, now I've seen Re:Zero it's definitively in the same ballpark. Both have lead male protagonists that travel through time to try and save their loved ones while continuing to be effected by the pain of losing them over and over. The shows also have very well fleshed out character and story development along with a broad range of emotion. Many comedic, mysterious and dark tones make the feel of the shows to be parallel.  

Both have got time travelling and a protagonist who wants to save their friends and they are truly caring about their friends and cares nothing but their friends 

They both have time travel elements. Both characters go through similar revelations and events and have huge character development. Both are thrilling and I recommend you watch it if you love this. 

these two anime have a match in terms of the storyline where the main character is stuck in the failure of the rescue of the person he loves that makes this anime may be no different is the two anime is in production by the same studio 

I don't think there's anything similar to Steins;Gate but one of those shows that made me feel at least some of the feels i have with Steins;Gate is Re:Zero. It has a totally different way of traveling back to the past, and is amazing, i totally recommend it. 

In both Anime there are main caracters who can travel through time. To save their friends they are forced to make mentally depressing experiences.  

Both series focus on the protagonist who comes into a situation where he has time travel powers. Both Subaru and Okabe go trough a lot of suffering trying to overcome the obstacles they face. As the viewer you get attached to the characters and just really want both protagonists to succeed and find happiness and get an end to all their suffering. Eventually both protagonists find friends that support them no matter what, even if they don't know everything the protagonist knows. Like that Subaru manages to get trough thanks to Rem and Emilia, while Okabe is supported by Kurisu trough all world lines. If u like character driven time travel stories you'll definitely enjoy both steins;gate and re:zero. If you liked either one I'm pretty sure you'll like the other too  

Both of these animes had made me scared and excited while watching. If you like steins;gate you will definitely love re:zero. Both characters possess an incredible power about time and space.  

In Re;zero, the explanations are a bit lesser than Steins;gate but both anime have a same kind of thing. They both have Time-travelling things & changing the past type option. Both are very inspirational for people who thinks to change their past or wants to change as a better version of them selves. At the starting, you might not understand it fully & might wanna quit watching but take my reccomendation & continue watching to episode 18 in Re;zero, I'm damn sure it'll become one of your favourite anime. 

same studio, both related to time, both are rollercoasters of a ride (and can get pretty dark). Both are gureto 

Despite having very different settings, both series feature a similar plot structure in which the MC finds himself repeatedly going back into time to protect those he cares about. The MCs are similar personality-wise, and both series explore the psychological ramifications of failing multiple times. 

if you want an anime with perfect character development (and that contributes to their deconstruction later), interesting plot twists that leave you stuck all the time, an intelligent anime that makes you think full of hidden messages and the best protagonists of all times, steins;gate is the right choice 

Both shows are centered around the use of some kind of time travel (such as time loops) by the protagonist to save their loved ones; Re:Zero is basically Steins;Gate in an isekai. Both shows feature some amount of suffering, and they were both animated by studio White Fox. 

Both anime from same studio, both anime have time travel and the MC is trying to save someone important to him. 

Both have main characters that travel back in time Both have main characters that suffer a lot throughout the series Both have main characters that try to protect all of there friends Both have main characters that travel back in time to save a girl Both have main characters with Chūnibyō personalities If your looking for a main character that's similar to Hououin Kyouma or Subaru check out either one. 

Both anime has similar type MC that suffers for saving his dear peoples.Both MC's are great & Masterpiece.Highly recommended anime and also must watch for you. 

Both involve time travel (kind of) and trying to save their friends and loved ones with it. 

In both animes the plot revolves around going a few days in the past to change future events. 

Both are fantastic thriller animes Involve changing the past The main character suffers Made by White Fox 

Time travel: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve time travel in their plotlines, although they approach the concept in different ways. Science fiction elements: Both series contain elements of science fiction, such as alternate realities, advanced technology, and supernatural abilities. Complex characters: Both shows feature complex, multi-dimensional characters with their own motivations and flaws. The main characters, Okabe Rintaro and Subaru Natsuki, both face difficult challenges and undergo significant character development throughout the series. High stakes: Both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero involve high stakes situations, where the actions of the characters can have far-reaching consequences. Failure to achieve their goals can result in catastrophic outcomes. Plot twists: Both series are known for their plot twists, with unexpected events occurring throughout the story that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Overall, Steins;Gate and Re:Zero are both thought-provoking, engaging anime series that explore complex themes and concepts.  

Same concept, different style Steins;Gate is more realistic and Re:Zero has a lot of fantasy elements. Both are great in their own ways so I highly recommend both to watch 

The main characters both travel back in time to save someone or to prevent something. ya 

The plot is very sad and exciting, exactly like S; G, also the "return to the past" mechanics reappears present in -Steins; Gate 

Both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities. 

Both anime main charachters go the past about a day or two and having mental problems 

Both anime show the psychological affects of time travel on the protagonist. 

Similar subject 

Both are about time traveling and life saving but one is simp other is Mad  

-both have the try over again and again kind of thing going on -both feature proper waifu material 

So basically a guy redoing scenarios and overcoming hurdles in order to achieve a desired future. 

In both title, you'll see the main character go through some real deal. The support and other MC's are also a good complement to the story. 

Both shows were animated by the same studio and it involves time travel in some kind of way. 

Don't be fooled by its Harem setup! These 2 titles may both have male MCs that are surrounded by "waifu" characters but both of these tackle matters in a very serious manner. Both of these stories strike hard emotionally and go darker than you'd ever expect from a waifu-heavy Anime. Both also use a Time-Travel concept. 

In Both anime the male MCs has to go in the past again and again(and suffer a lot{specially in Re:Zero}) to save their love however one is scientifically developed story and the other is fantasy, But still if you are looking for well developed time travel stories this is where you should definitely go.  

Both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities. Basically Steins;Gate but Isekai without Sci-fi. And here is a thing: a romantic relationship is slowly forming with the mc in both shows.  

Same psychological/mystery vibe to them. Both have some episodes which end with cliffhanger or plot twist. 

Both main characters have this time related ability that allows them to go back into the past, albeit Re: Zero is more magic and fantasy related and Steins;Gate being a sci-fi anime, they still have the same theme. Both of the MCs will stop at nothing even if it's to repeat the same events over and over to save the people they love. Not to mention, both are made by the same studio and have done an amazing anime adaptation on both animes. If you want pain and suffering, and are a fan of Steins;Gate and other psycho-thriller animes, Re: Zero is the one for you. Tuturu~   

Both do some really interesting things with time travel that both left me in awe and in tears! 

1) Both male MCs can initiate time travelling(with the exception of some cases occurring accidentally) 2) Both male MCs initiate time travelling to help their friends (all female) 3) Both TV shows have a female character which is very supportive of respective male MC no matter which world lines they are in (although they both hate the respective male MC at the beginning of both TV shows but end up loving them, which is a classic plot) 

- Butterfly effect - mc suffering - time travel - slowly forming romantic relationship - same studio - dark elements 

TIME TRAVEL is possible in both and only main characters can do it Both mc have 2 cute girls O_O Both Mc sees the person they love will die and gonna save them Both mc have same personality And you love both anime 

- Both tackle the theme of the MC going back in time in order to save someone precious. In Steins Gate, it gets much more complex compared to Re:Zero Through, with the addition of world lines, time loops, and going forward in time. As in Re:Zero it's just about going back. - A big difference between these two shows is the world settings. Steins Gate is more sci-fi-like. Meanwhile the world of Re:Zero is set in an Isekai Fantasy World. - Both shows have wholesome and dark moments, really dark moments. To the point where you think there is no hope left for the main character. Until the big satisfying comeback comes forth. - Both main characters are pretty goofy in nature, although I would lean towards Subaru being slightly more cringe than Okabe. They also act pretty similarly when something serious happens. Mental breakdowns  

Both the anime has the main protagonist who has to suffer to protect his friends. They can repeat their actions and they can solve the mistake they have done.Both the anime belongs to thriller genre. 

it's like begin something from the bottom then fail and repeat or restart 

- time travel and time leap - protagonist seeing close ones dying every time time they time travel - protagonist have to do something different in each time loop to keep everyone safe.  

Let’s do more screwing around with time travel! That’s pretty much what goes on in Steins;Gate, in which a bunch of psuedo-scientists stumble upon a device that allows them to communicate with the past and alter the flow of history. But the goal of the cast here isn’t to prevent some major tragedy from occurring. Not at first, anyway. Eventually, all they’re trying to do is clean up their own mess, as their meddling brings all sorts of butterfly effect consequences to bear. 

- Both are involved with time - Both main protagonists are chads - Both have big depression - Both have those ight girls One difference is that one is an isekai and the other is in today's world so yeah I would recommend it if you like the other 

Re:Zero is the fantasy version of Steins;Gate. Both have very similar plots: the main character is able to time travel a short time into the past. Both also have very similar ways of storytelling as being animated by the same studio, while showing the true horrors of time travel and failure. If you liked Steins;Gate, you'll love Re:Zero. 

If you liked the time travel aspect of Steins;Gate than you can watch Re:Zero to realize how overrated Re:Zero is cause the time travel aspect in Re:Zero sucked. 

The male protagonists in both Steins;Gate and Re:Zero have a similar goal. I won't say which goal because spoilers. They try to accomplish this goal through some sort of time travel. Steins;Gate elaborates a lot on the concepts of time, whereas in Re:Zero a more mysterious kind of power is involved to make time travel possible. 

The protagonist suffers because of deahts, a lot of repeated deaths that can't be stopped.  

The main characters in their stories each struggle to save those who are precious to them by going back to the past. But the way they do it is very different. For the main character in Re:Zero, he does so using the ability he calls "Return by dead". But the requirement to use this ability is very risky. Which is where he has to feel the pain first. Then he returned to the past. If he used his ability often, he could be mentally crushed from feeling the pain too often. For the main character in Steins; Gate, he uses a machine which can send memories to the past. But there is a possibility of failure. That is, he could be erased in his world. They both suffer because it is their own choice. But that's what makes their story so amazing.  

Both have an amazing story ,even if they wouldn't be kinda similar but in both anime there is time travelling and the protagonist has to deal with death in the past timelines and they cant really tell the other people about their problems. 

Similar time travel concept with the main character suffering through the same event over and over again for the people he cares about. 

Both animes involve time travel and the protagonist going back several times at the same time and suffering physically and mentally to resolve the situation in the best possible way. 

Both shows revolve around the main character suffering in similar ways. Both characters strive to achieve something through a bunch of suffering. 

They have nearly similar story , where the protagonist travels back in time and try to change what is happenng in their world . 

Both anime are amazing, especially rezero Both anime mcs have some sort of power that lets them return to a certain point Both anime have a mc that is pushed to their mental limit  

Time travel related - personally for both ReZero and Steins Gate, I had to check the episode number to see if I was watching the right episode and not rewatching the previous one. Both really enjoyed watching! Recommend checking the order of the Steins Gate sequels :) 

The main character dies over and over again, each time resetting his life a few days, to try and save his friends. Only similar to Steins; Gate in concept, the execution is very different. 

Adapted by the same studio, similar time-travel mechanism. Both the protagonists; Okabe and Subaru are stuck in a loop and face many obstacle from saving their loved ones. Using knowledge from previous loops. he is able to go further.  

If you like re;zero, you will love steins gate. Both have similar slow beginnings and during the middle of the show they both throw an insane episode at you, changing the pace of the show to extremely fast paced. Re;zero has return by death, whereas Steins;Gate has actual time travel, both are extremely similar and I feel that the Re:zero anime was inspired by Steins;Gate.  

Madness. Went back in time, rinse and repeat (Steins gate better though) 

Steins;Gate and Re:Zero both have main characters that suffer and struggle just to save the people that they love. 

Deals with time travel and is also a great character drama whilst having a great story. 

If you like the emotional drama of re;zero and how Subaru is going to use his time looping abilities to save his friends, you should watch steins gate as its entire plot is about the multiverse and time travel, the story is also great. 

Both protagonist has a time traveling ability in some different shape or form. Both are extremely emotional and character focused. The attention to detail in both stories are insane. Both have extensive amounts of drama. 

Re:Zero holds a major element of Steins;Gate and the prime of it's plot, which is time travel( in a sense.) The main character Subaru is given a power upon entering this new life, which is the ability to recall to a previous point in time, but the catch is it only activates when he dies. Subaru's psychology fits so well similar to Okabe from Steins;Gate, showing a man breaking down trying to figure out the solution to save their friends and loved ones. Definitely a watch for those who love the psychological elements of Steins;Gate. 

Both are great examples of the time-travel genre. They both have main characters who use time travel to try and change the future. The difference is that in Steins;Gate, the protagonist uses a scientific method, while in Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, he uses a magical method. 

Time travel anime created by white fox. Both very good. 

Both series are a roller coaster ride of plot twists and dark miss happenings. The setting is somewhat similar, the mood, the art and the unique characters that all play a part no matter how small. Love one and you will instinctively love the other. Two of the best anime ever made.. both completely different yet so alike.  

Both series are centred around intricate and extremely well-thought out plots, and they are executed to near perfection. They feature a similar premise, in that a main character from both series must...shall we say, shoulder the burdens of the entire world in a manner that can't be appreciated by others. 

both start in a bright atmosphere and get progressively darker and complex 

Shows that feature a blinding series of twists building up to an amazing end. The characters suffer so much while you want to see them succeed. 

Both have similar plot formats in that they start off fun and lighthearted but change dramatically as the plot develops. Okabe and Homura have a very similar goal as well. 

Both have a similar beginning in the essence where you have to watch past several episodes to get interest, while Steins;gate has a beginning where you have no clue as to what is happening, mahou shoujo madoka magica has a beginning where it shows a normal school girl, both after 3 or 4 episodes get really interesting. The middle of both anime have the same plot related issue as well, but I won't spoil anything.  

There's a HUGE amount of similarity in here that it'd be a spoiler to tell. So in short, both are alike except one has to deal in the Science Fiction genre while they other one remains in it's Magical Girl genre. Both of these are amazing! If you watched one, then you'll definately love the other regardless on the order you watched them. And they both have great music too! 

Dark, sad, unbearable truth. Those things above are thing u will find in S;G just like in M*M it got an unexpected turn event and character development. And most of all is Friendshi- 

Both initially seem juvenile and routine, but evolve into a much darker and original being as the series progress. Both deal with repitition to obtain a desired result, and both inject new life into genres that were previously thought to be exhausted. 

Both of these animes are like a rollercoaster. First, it seems to progress steadily and introduce many seemingly-positive characters and ideas, then the intense sh*t happens and you have an absolutely amazing and dark, twistiness of a plot that will most likely cause you to binge-watch the rest of the series until you finish and/or your probably boggled mind leads to an explosion of multiple feels all at once, in an outstanding way! 

These two anime are similar in that they both deal with the balance of the world and the changes in different timelines. They also show the different sacrifices that have to be made in order to obtain what is necessary. However, Steins;Gate provides more character development compared to Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, probably because of the longer length in the number of episodes. 

Like in Steins;Gate, first episodes of PMMM are carefree and joyful. In both shows are gradually shown deeper and darker layers of tragic story about desperate fight to change seemingly inevitable fate of heroines, who too late learn that using their new power has its price. Don't be deceived by sugary opening and first episodes of Madoka! It's MUCH darker than it appears at first look, I would even say it is far more serious and dramatic than S;G. Story is written by Gen Urobuchi, who publicly "apologized for intentionally misleading people that Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica is a cute healing anime". Wikipedia describes its genre as "Drama, Horror, Magical girl, Tragedy", and MAL as "Magic, Psychological, Thriller".  

Both have a dark and nasty plot twist you don't see coming. 

I literally can't say why, or else it would be a massive spoiler (on both ends), but just trust me when I say the two are EXTREMELY similar. 

-very good watch if you have enjoyed one of either you will enjoy the other -both are about different struggles that the characters must over come to have a better life and a different future than that given to them by fate. . . 

I can not say much other because that would say much in terms of spoilers both follow a structure of trial and error. Both work to their fullest in making an engaging story with the simple yet interesting material to their fullest. 

-Both animes start off with a lighter vibe to them but as the story progresses the plot of them both gets much darker and digs deep into the human's soul. -Both animes deal with time-travelling -Both animes will leave you with something to think about after their final episodes. 

These two are considered rollercoaster anime. They start off slow, but once you get about half-way, the intense, thrilling, dark stuff happens. Both have the same plot related issue, that'll be a spoiler to tell. In both anime there are sacrifices to be made in order to obtain their goal. 

A story of someone trying to overcome a seemingly inescapable fate and an underlying sense of hopelessness. Uses aspects of time-travel specifically for this purpose. 

Both series use the same plot-devices near the end (which I will not mention so as not to spoil anything), and both have the overall same feel to them, even if they are completely different genres. Opinion incoming: both are somewhat overrated and have an unnecessarily unfitting happy ending. 

Share the same chilling feeling of hopelessness and despair... Both shows revolve around changing the fate that they already know. No spoilers but both of these shows are very deceiving at times. Both shows are absolutely masterpieces that fuck with your mind. 

+ Both have fantastic plot twists. + Both start off as cheerful, but gets increasingly darker. + Both have a similar theme going on. Saying what would be spoiler territory. + Both come from 2011, and both are considered the best anime of this year. - Steins;Gate still retains some lightheartedness even in the end. Madoka does not have this treatment. - Steins;Gate focuses on the "theme" they share, while in Madoka's its one of many. - Madoka is considered to be more emotional, while Steins;Gate to be inspiring. 

Both animes seem innocent at first, but then slowly devolve into a psychological thriller that deal with hopelessness and despair 

Both of these particular series have very similar themes/depth of plot complexity. Also are packed full of surprises. Finally they have the 'Thriller' genre in common along with similar ratings. 

Both of these anime have a very strong cast that are both funny and adorable. The warmth set off by the main characters is absolutely wonderful. The cast will get you attached and begging for more. The art style is very different between the two, a very pleasing type of different. Madoka has a very abstract style that it goes by while Steins; Gate uses more of a realism. Both art styles fit the anime beautifully and bring out the true feel for who the characters are. The characters are wonderful and the overall feel will leave you to wonder what will happen next. Both are my personal favorites. A recommendation for both of them. Steins; Gate- After you watch it rewatch it. Madoka- I feel it should be watched through the movies, Beginnings (1), Eternal (2) and Rebellion (3, also different story). The first two are just all of the episodes put together with new scenes that add onto the feel I feel it adds onto the character development as well.   

Both of these series are psychological thrillers and involve the main characters determined to do anything to save the one they love. They both also have a very similar concept that actually compliments each other quite well though you have to watch both to understand what I mean. This is just my opinion, but both series have been regarded as masterpieces in their own right though your own opinion can vary. Madoka Magica in particular, is a controversial series that may have things that you might not like. Don't let that turn you off as both Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica are special series that contain a lot of meaning and hidden messages in it. For anyone that hasn't seen Madoka Magica, it may not look like a psychological thriller at first. There are slight hints, but the series really shows its true colors on episode 3 so I recommend giving this the otaku three episode rule. Overall, if you enjoyed one, then you'll most likely enjoy the other and personally, these series both deserve a watch. But then again, this is just my opinion.  

Mindbending excitement.....there is also, surprisingly huge similarities in the plot. I feel like both of them are those "expect nothing, get EVERYTHING" kind of animes. Both anime start off with simple, easy to understand plots, that don't bore you before they get REALLLY good. Trust me, to those who watched Stein's;Gate and think it is as original and one of a kind as it get's....well it is. But Madoka sure make's a good counter. Personally, I perfered Madoka to Stein's;Gate (barely, but there both FANTASTIC IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE), but if you've watched and enjoyed one of them you will love the other as well! 

Both anime are extremely similar in the tones that are conveyed throughout. Both Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica begin with a rather light-hearted, almost ideal scenario where the viewers expect nothing short of happiness and fun all around. And both shift into a rather serious, dark tone that prevails throughout the rest of the show in a manner that one does not expect (and that unexpectedness is great, especially given how many anime are rather predictable these days). As both anime share similarities in tone, they also share similarities in the themes/motifs conveyed. In an effort not to spoil anything, I will simply say that both explore the concept of fate, the illusion of multiple possibilities, the desire to change fate, and the psychological consequences that come from pursuing these. Both anime will put you through an intense, emotional rollercoaster that really makes you think, consider, and hope. That's why I would highly recommend watching Madoka Magica if you are looking for something truly similar to Steins;Gate.  

I personally think that the recommendation of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica next to Steins;Gate is a spoiler. This should be removed. Now that I think of it, this is valid for not just a single direction, recommending either for the other is a spoiler for both of these stories because the both of these stories have implemented a surprise factor into the way that the story is told. This way you know what to expect, at least somewhat, and thus the surprise won't be a legitimate as it could've been. With that said, I've said enough as to why liking one warrants a recomendation for the other. 

Both of these anime are progressively dark and contain insanely good plots. 

Because MAL does not allow to recommend LNs or Manga on the basis of Anime, I will use this comment to do so. But my first recommendation is concerning MM – Steins;Gate. This is based less on similarity in terms of story or setting, but more on the feelings that arise as the plot unfolds. As MM only lasts 12 episodes – compared to the 24 of SG – the transition from light-hearted to terrifying feels much more sudden and due to the setting also more extreme. Nonetheless, I watched SG first and could not help but notice how likewise both anime were in terms of this specific change. Even if you don’t like certain characteristics, like the fan service in SG or the Magical Girl setting in MM, like I did, you will most likely enjoy one if you are fond of the other. Having said this, the “real” recommendation I want to give her is, if you have watched SG or MM (or both), one of my favorite LNs, The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria. It shows so much resemblance to both Anime, but I was really starting to feel intrigued/reminded while watching the last few episodes of MM. I will not go into any detail here, as that would, in my opinion, spoil a lot of the fun. So, even if you’re not into reading, I guarantee you that you will like this Light Novel series. The story is finished, so you don’t have to wait for further volumes. Read it, you’ll have fun (or something like that)!  

[Spoiler alert] Madoka seems kiddy, but it's actually dark. It's not your average lucky go lucky magical girl anime type. From a description I read on YouTube, we can say it's like a candy shop built on the Native American burial ground. These two share so much similarities, though they don't look like it: - Madoka Magica seems light-hearted, funny, just like your typical cute magical girl anime at the beginning... but it's not. Don't be fool by the look. - The main characters learn that they have some sort of special power, but eventually they learn about the serious consequences to using it. - This show turns darker and deeper through the series, with psychological implications. Both are brilliant shows. S;G focuses more on science, theories and time traveling while Madoka seems more about emotions, hope and despair (sometimes Christianity related). Madoka seems more depressing than S;G, that ending though.  

Both series initially appear as light-hearted/comedic, but becomes darker as the story progresses  

Both series have a slow and inconspicuous start, but the narratives gradually descend into something far darker and more powerful, in which the protagonists must make choices and sacrifices that affect themselves and their friends. 

Both have alot of plotwists in it that happen when you least expected it to happen and both get darker and more complex in terms of plot as time goes by too. 

Making a text about the reasons why Steins;Gate fans should watch Madoka Magica is kinda giving spoilers to the plot line of both Madoka Magica and Steins;Gate. I will try to make this recommendation spoiler-free as possible. Both have a theme in common, regrets and time-travel And both have the happy feeling at the beginning, a thing that will make you happy that will lead you into darker places of your mind that I won't dig more cause spoilers. Also both have amazing OST's  

In both animes, the main character fights to change the fate of someone important and close to them. They both go through a lot of pain, and more importantly - both go back in time and witness the same events over and over again. In both Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica, the main characters are willing to sacrifice everything and go back in time countless times just to save the loved one. 

Both are slow paced and take some time before they get good and both deal with time travel. They also both start out light-hearted but get dark. 

Both have lots of unexpected twists and are very similar in terms of themes and plot. 

Both shows follow a "back loaded" story structure (if you've seen either you'll know what I mean) that is heavily drama-driven and not afraid to play with convention. I have a strong hunch they appeal to the same type of viewer 

Both have complex thoughts that are tied together. Both include psychological themes and deal with mature topics. Although Steins;Gate is a bit slower, they both follow time travel. 

Time traveling, self-recurrence, and relationship beyond space & time. That is what I describe the most of similiarty between SG & PMMM. Also when watching some first episodes of both series, we will be served by some elements of SOL that will deceive us in the rest of episodes (having great plot twist). 

Both series are very thrilling with many twists. A group of friends/ or a group that would later become friends through their struggles together, find themselves with access to a power that could quite literally change their destinies. Even if they using this power to better themselves or those close to them, their drastically altered destinies will unfold and reveal themselves to be much darker than they had imagined. The opposite of what they had envisioned. Two of my favourite series ever. I highly recommend you watch both of them, if you haven't. 

You will discover 

Both start out slow but have amazing (and similar) later episodes that makes the arguably slow buildup worth it. 

actually these two anime have many similarities. dive into the dizzying plot after the first few episodes, transition to a sad atmosphere, psychological, Okabe and Homura have similar motives, deep meaning, amazing friendship, animation and openings. they are even released in the same year haha. if you liked one of them, then i really recommend watching the other one. 

Much like Steins;Gate, Madoka Magica is an anime every anime fan should watch eventually. Madoka Magica features an ensemble cast that all have relevance to the overarching plot. The identity of the antagonist(s) is not immediately obvious. One of the main characters obtains a power that comes with drastic complications. The protagonists are both willing to go to a great extent of self-sacrifice to save their friends. Madoka Magica references details from the beginning of the series at the end much like Steins;Gate. This series contains many similar themes to Steins;Gate and I would highly recommend it to those who enjoyed it. 

- Time travel & time loops to save a loved one 

I absolutely love both of these series. Both are the type that make involve great and amazing plot twists and action that will keep you on your toes. I love how everything ties together, and almost nothing isn't important. Absolutely recommend both! 

Both series have to do with messages on cell phones. In S;G they send messages to the past as a way to 'time travel' while in MN!, a person's fate is written as a diary. Both animes are excellent psychological thrillers. 

Cell phones, thriller, drama, and epic action scenes. What else could we ask for more in both of these incredible anime(s)? Both Mirai Nikki and Steins;Gate also incorporates the usage of cell phones although for different purposes. Additionally, there is romance in both series as well as comedy and emotional drama. As the series continues for both anime, we also see various plot twists and cliffhangers that leaves the audience asking "what's next"? 

Both animes are related withe the time and situations that must be handled according to time rules, the main characters become sort of "time lord". Nevertheless Steins; Gate has a cientific approach while Mirai Nikki get a supernatural like. 

Stories that work on similar science-fictional theories, in which old-styled cell phones play an important role. The protagonists have the ability to change future, but there may be consequences. 

Both series have something to do with the future and time travelling. The main character goes to so much trouble he never asked for that you will start to feel sorry for him. The emotions in these series are see deep that you just cannot do otherwise than feel along with the characters. I am really sure that you will enjoy them both. 

Both share an impossible romance, hard to endure emotional moments, similar time and space theories, character development and backstory, lots of plot twists, awesome music soundtrack and seiyus (voiceovers). In both case, you end up marathoning the whole thing in a day or two =) 

Both animes deal with how the future can be changed through certain actions, the difference is that Steins;Gate is closer to reality, including elements that exist such as "SERN" and "IBN" (that would be the "CERN "and" IBM ") and characters using time machines, since the Mirai Nikki is a game where you can not return to the past but to predict the future, but it is a game of survival and all holders of" Mirai Nikki "have to kill the other carriers. 

They both use cellular devices to depicts the future or time travel in steins gate case, they both have very strong plots that make sense for something like time travel being involved, the differences is that Mirai nikki is sooo much more violent I would not recommend it to people who dislike gore. 

Both series has a complicated story that involve world line, which make interesting to watch if you like complicated story. really had a brilliant story and confusing if you don't watch it until the last episode. 

Both are somehow about survival, but Steins;Gate is more about trying to get everyone alive, Mirrai Nikki is about being the last man standing. Both have sophisticated bonds between characters and unexpected moments. Both involve using mobile phones to something irregular. 

-Both protagonists use their cellphones to change the future -Both protagonists try to change the outcome of a future event to protect their loved ones -Both include a female and male lead that try to interfere with "fate" -Both have a complicated plot which plays with your mind *P/S: Keep in mind that Mirai Nikki is a lot more twisted if you like that aspect.  

These animes has one very similar aspect, but with one big difference. In mirai nikki you know your future, in steins gate you know your past. They know how to change their future in mirai nikki and they know how to change their past in steins gate. But what they both do not know is what will happen if they change it. Even the fact if you make it worse or better is never clear. Of course you can always think that it cannot get any badder. The other fact is that they know their past and future immediately after that. So they can change it once more. The big difference is of course future and past in this theorie. Other difference are that steins gate has a more complicated plot and mirai nikki has yuno with all the battles accompanied with all the blood :).  

Mirai Nikki and Steins;Gate both deal with changing the future, and past. Although one is more action orientated, and one is more scientific. Both contain amazing revelations and keep you on the edge of your seat. Mirai Nikki is more heart pounding and supernatural, but Steins;Gate is more intellectual. Both are deep and most importantly, these shows have AMAZING character development. We can feel their tremendous growth, their motives, and their ambitions. Tearjerker, heartwarming, and immersive, if you've seen one and want an anime that makes you think just as deep, check the other out. 

Both series deal with the concept of using "time" to your advantage. While Steins;Gate is about changing the past, Mirai Nikki is about changing the future. Both stories are dark albeit Mirai Nikki pretty much starts out that way while Steins;Gate had a long buildup towards it. Both series have interesting characters and you'll enjoy learning more as the stories progress. 

They both involve cellphones as a central plot device as well as complex time travel (this is more evident in S;G than MN). They also have psychological elements and a romantic subplot 

Anything and everything can change something especially since both use cellphones to alter the future and outcomes of different events of course mirai nikki has a lot more gore and in my opinion Steins;Gate is better but they have similar base plots. 

- Both trying to change the fate or the outcome of different situations - Both have a very harsh psychological aspect - Both Protagonist have the ability to peer into the future. - One is more realistic doing this scientifically while the other is more of a horror game - The female protagonist, one is Yandere one is Tsundere. 

They both include the concept of time. However they do it in different ways. Steins;Gate uses time travel while Mirai Nikki uses the concept of predicting the future using diaries. In Steins;Gate, you can also somewhat figure out the future if you travel back in time. They both execute these ideas perfectly, in different ways and they both work. 

Changing the future plays a large part in both series. Both the protagonists discover the ability to alter the future and use that power to try and change it to their liking. If you enjoy thrillers that keep you at the edge of your seat you might like both the series. 

Both kind of have to do with time and how changing the past can affect the future.  

Both Explain about time the difference the steins;gate is about adult life and Mirai Nikki about kids and his friends. 

the both have twisted story that you can.t ander stand it till the end they are the kind of anime that you can't stop thinking whale watching if you watched one of them you should know what i am talking about and if you don't what the f**k are you doing in the characters the are soo diffrerent  

Similarity: Just as Mirai Nikki literally translates to "Future Diary," Steins;Gate is also all about altering the future with information that is known beforehand—and both anime alter the debacles of time through the use of particular phones! Now, what could be more thrilling and exciting than that! I mean, both anime are highly fascinating, not because the future is no longer a secret in both, but because these two shows are captivating in their own right. Suspense, thrills, action, and twists—there’s plenty more where that came from, and you’ll find quite a lot in Steins;Gate. 

Though on the surface Steins;Gate and Mirai Nikki may not appear to have much similarity other than their aspect of time disruption. In reality, the two are much more relatable. For instance, they each have a psychological element matched with a suspenseful action-filled plot. Allowing for their 24-26 episode animes to fully develop. Along with that, the intricate plot leaves the viewers guessing about the future and asking "what's next". Lastly, I'd recommend this show to anyone who enjoys plot twists and animes that portray the Chaos Theory to a tea. 

Both shows are about guys using cellphones to change the future and have really great psychological action/horror scenes that really get you in a stressing atmosphere.  

Both focus on similar themes of time travel, exploring the Butterfly effect caused by the actions of the main characters in the series, and share the same buildup of consequences, from light-hearted developments to drastically affecting the lives of their friends. 

Reworks ideology of time travel, people mess with it and gets screwed as a result.  

Both Animes deal with Time Traveling and its consequences. Both shows try to portrait how one battles against this idea of FATE using the methods of Time Traveling. Both shows have concepts dealing with Tragedy, romance, and comedy and are both masterfully done.  

Both revolve around the theme of time travelling and the consequences of it. On the backdrop they both have a slowly developing romance between the main characters.  

About time-travelling and its consequences. Stein's Gate is more focused on the science fiction aspect of time-travelling, while Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo is more about using time-travelling as a device of telling us an important life lesson. 

Steins;Gate and Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo deal with a very similar concept of misuse of a tool that manipulates time and distorts the future. They both are character based in that the main character is the bond that will ultimately carry you to finishing them and both of these anime contain elements of suspense and comedy with a dash of romance. If you are a fan of any sort of science fiction element involving time travel or likable characters then this entry will certainly satisfy you. 

These two anime have two main points in common: - they are about time travels - there is a romantic relationship that grows between two characters separated by time-distance Moreover, there is a general common feeling about the stories and the various characters. Both anime are very very captivating and of the highest level: personally I highly recommend to watch both! ^^ 

Both stories have a main character who uses time travel for his/her own convenience and ends up dealing with the consequences attached to it. They both also contain a character who has come from the future with a mission to save the future but end up enjoying the past to the extent of it hindering their mission. Towards the endings, the true romantic nature of the animes are revealed as well. 

- female play with the time -TOKI-. - guy play with the time -STEINS-. -Ofc is not just the same, i mean S;G 26 ep, Toki movie, but the feling is the same. -After a cupple of events the plot will become darker and the protagonist will start a race to beat the time itself. -time waits no one- 

Lots of time travel and drama with a little romance thrown in as well. Both start off a little slow and get more dramatic and intense as they go. Steins;Gate focuses more on how the time travel works while The Girl Who Leapt Through Time focuses more on it's effects on the world around the person. 

Both anime display how playing with time, cause and effect has disastrous consequences. Both display strong lead female characters and light-hearted relationships. 

Both focus on drama and love in their second half. Both's theme is time travel. The protagonist suddenly gets a power which heshe still not quite used to. At first the charcters use it for fun and entertainment but eventually they reveal the true cost of this power. 

Both animes deal with time travel and the main characters are trying to change the past. Both shows have serious moments mixed with a little bit of comedy and romance. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo can be more shoujo oriented, while Steins;Gate is more thriller, but if you liked one you definitely should try the other. 

Time traveling sounds really cool, now doesn't it? You can go through time and change your decisions. But is that really all there is too it? These are two really great entries which explores this factor and what can actually happen if you timetravel too carefree, they also have some romance at the side. 

For those individuals that adored Steins;Gate,and have not watch,The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,you my friend are missing a gem in your anime movie collection.This is because both of this anime and movie revolves around the concept of time travel that I truly admire.Both of them are so enjoyable that it's hard to find a dull moment(unless you hate the concept of time travel,of course). And if you haven't watch Steins;Gate,then watch it right now! Or if you have not watch both of them,boy,you got some serious watching to do. I hope you'll like at least one of them. Also,I hope that I helped at least one individual in this recommendation. Thanks for the quick read. ;D  

These anime tackle themes of Time-Travel, and they both seem to hit this very-difficult-to-achieve theme, right on point. They both act on this recent ability to travel through time, in order to save someone who they love; albeit in Toke wo Kakeru Shoujo, its initially used to screw around, while in Steins;Gate its originally used for experimental reasons.. but I digress. 

Both anime have a time travel concept and some romance in them. They also have a similar atmosphere. 

- Travels in time provoke an evil both for the traveler, but even worse for the rest of the others, to be used only by whims, trying to change tragic facts or just things that seemed innocent. - We have a touch of romance, hidden behind that anguish that brings the trip in time, which is related to the courage it feels to see how everything is getting more and more complicated. 

Time traveling and changing the past plays a major role in both anime. Being able to alter simple and mundane events to your favor can seem convenient at first, but what if those small changes lead to something major and unexpected? These two sci-fi anime both keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next. 

both about time travel and what can happen if you change the past even slightly.. when the main character uses time travel and learns about it, it felt very similar. 

What happens when you suddenly come upon time travel? Do you use it wisely or foolishly? How do your actions affect your family and closest friends? Both works seek to explore these questions while providing some more light-hearted moments as well.  

Both series focus on time travel as well as the negative side effects from being reliant on it as well too and also moments of drama in it as well too. 

Though the stories are completely different, but they both have two common things, time travel and the consequences of changing the past. Both series/movie have some elements of comedy, romance, drama and sci-fi stuffs. 

They both have stories related to time travel with some related parts both are great but you can just the girl who leapt through time if like the movie then make sure to watch steins gate its like 10 times better but if you abosulately hate the movie then you should not watch the series but as i said its like ten times better  

Timey wimey 

Both are sci fi suspense mystery stories are focused around the concept of time traveling and what could go wrong, if you mess around with such a thing too.  

The concept of time travel where making the wrong decision will have butterfly effects is the same in the two anime also the mystery and plot twists are both very good.  

Better version of time travel and better intrigue. Also similar way of having multiple sub-plots interweaving. 

if you loved steins gate then Link Click is the perfect anime for you. amazing animation and story involved around traveling back in time to correct mistakes, every action here has a consequence and will impact the future, the characters have powers but they also a set of well defined rules that limits them making every power complimentary to each other and not too much OP. the sound track is a banger 

God-tier time manipulation and thrilling moments in both anime. The drama and looming death aspects are the best I've ever seen in anime. 

they are both time travel stories that explore the consequences of messing with the past. while the slow burner start and more complexity of steins;gate makes it the better time travel show, link clicks easy to understand but clever concepts make it by far the easier watch. they also both involve very clever twist and turns that make you always want to click the next episode.  

Both deal with time travel in the same way, both brilliant, the style of storytelling that makes you fill in the blanks in your head, if you pay attention you will be rewarded, and of story, please watch both, do yourself a favour. 

Both anime deal with going to the past. Both anime try to solve problems while going to the past Both anime use the "big changes in the past lead to big changes in the future" and "meaningless changes in the past converge to the previous outcome (nothing changes)" Both are good for science fictionish enthusiasts (because it's not 100% fiction, in steins;gate 90% of what is said is true in real life) Both anime goated <3 

Both time travel and tackles the consequences of it 

Both are time travel thriller with emotional moments and twists in the story. Both are incredible, and Season 2 of link click is coming out this summer so catching up on it now will prepare you for the upcoming season 2 

Time travel centric suspense thriller anime with unpredictable story line. 

Both explore aspects of time travel while also containing a lot of cliff hangers and plot twists.  

Both animes relate to time travel as the main focus. I think if you liked Steins; Gate then Link Click is a good choice when thinking of other animes to watch! Both have the sense of thrill and mystery. My personal opinion is that Link Click is much more engaging and is more fast paced than Steins; Gate. However if your in for the long haul Steins; Gate is good too! ANYWAYS TLDR, both will have you on the edge of your seat :) 10/10 recommend. 

Both anime are based on time traveling. Whereas , Steins ; Gate is a typical time travel and science anime , on the other hand Shiguang Dailiren's concept also consists of going back in time through pictures. 

Both are time travel anime (with well crafted time loops) that explore similar philosophies of whether you are truly bound by time; forced to take decisions they don't want to in order to create a better world. While Link Click's story isn't as masterful as Steins;Gate, the tales told are a bit more episodic and can appeal to a different audience. Link Click's use of cliffhangers also keeps a superb job of keeping you glued to the screen throughout several stories and you're really just sitting there at the end of each episode with a surprised pikachu face Link Click is better than Steins;Gate in a couple of aspects too. Instead of having a slow start, Link Click has one of the most gripping first episodes ever. Its kinda like the same dish as Steins;Gate, but with a different flavour. Link Click is one of the most enjoyable anime I've watched and highly recommend it.  

A story about time investigations, with questions of ethic of time travel. 

Both are centered around time travel with their own unique concepts. 

Both shows are about Time Travel and both have great characters and the protagonist is very well written 

The protagonists in both series believe in the existence of a secret organization that is out there to get them. Both shows display a good balance between comedy and darker themes. 

Both feature main protagonists who are slightly nutty, believe in some global conspiracy, and don't like to shave. 

Both anime has an evil Organization and both Male leads is somewhat obsess to it and having delusion about it.. and the female leads also helps the male leads to overcome what's happening both anime has a funny side and serious sides..  

In both shows, the male leads suffer from the delusion that a mysterious secret organisation is conspiring against him. The female leads seem innocent and pure at the first sight, but upon closer inspection they have their own tragic stories to tell.  

They are both great, have dark psychological humor, and leave you with a strange feeling of happy depression. In any case, they are both worth watching if you haven't seen either one. 

While "Welcome to the NHK" and "Steins;Gate" aren't all similar in overarching plot nor animation style, there is something about the "normality" of the two shows that can't be overlooked. Both are them are set in a realistic, believable world, without over-the-top characters. Dialogue is witty and sensible, and both start off relatively harmless, but eventually delve into the psychological drama type of anime. 

Seto and Okabe are quite alike they both made up a conspiracy theory, they are both awkward to strangers, have a bit of a wrong view on the society and they both have their group where they can be themselves. These series have something big simular in the end but guess if I tell that it is considered spoiling. and except all of this, these are just 2 big masterpieces. 

Both feature conflicted over-the-top main characters overcoming obstacles. 

Both anime have a dark tone with romance added in. Also both have very funny dubs. 

Both anime have a good balance of comedy and dark themes. Both protagonist believe in the existence of an "organization" Both anime also have a lovely, pretty and helpful female leads that the protagonists relies on, and they both have tsundere tendencies as well. They also have sidekicks who wear glasses. ...and although farfetched, the protagonists are also trying to be successful in creating something ( in SG, find a way back to the Alpha world line; in NHK, to create a video game)  

Extremely similar main male leads, both believing in existence of secret organizations that are after them, and both are pretty awkward when it comes to social interactions. Both anime start out in earlier episodes mainly focused on humor, but slowly shift into darker themes. 

The whole time I was watching Steins Gate I couldn't but notice the similarities between it and Welcome to the NHK. This is due to the fact that with very few changes the main characters are identical. In Welcome to the NHK the protagonist is a young man who invents a secret organization similarly to the one in Steins Gate. The characters share the same sense of humour and act in the same overdramatic way when they are trying to conceal their feelings or when they try to act with "normal people". Both of them have social problems, one being a NEET and the other one having been secluded until forming his laboratory. The difference stems from the level of intelligence and interaction with other characters. But even there are other similarities. Pure-hearted Girls and Tech Geniuses. They deal with different themes but both shine because of the very good charactes.  

Both feature a paranoid MC thinking they were involved in some sort of conspiracy (NHK) and hunted by an evil organization (Steins Gate). Both anime also have female leads that can understand and empathize with the protagonists and at the same time help them to overcome their problem. Just like Steins;gate, NHK also starts off rather slow and static. Only starting to pick up the pace in the latter part where things get more serious.  

Both main character's are struggling from a conspiracy Both stories are awesome! 

The protagonists believe that they're in a conspiracy, also most of the time they're in a room and many references. A good show can offer you these series. 

Delusional otaku protagonists that believe that a secret organization is conspiring against them, with realistic colors and characters designs, and some drama and romance.  

Same vibes, dark and gloomy atmosphere. Similar bland animation style. Overall both are great. 

I dont know how to explain, but NHK gave me the same feeling as when I was watching S;G, and that was fucking great. 

Both main protagonists believe in a secret organization conspiring against them and have an otaku friend they've known since high school, helping them with their problems. Both series come across as quirky and outlandish before turning dark halfway through. Although, Steins;Gate foreshadows the series turning dark in the first episode, while in Welcome to the NHK, it's not apparent it would turn dark.  

Steins;Gate are similar in the way that they both require critical thinking and your absolute attention for a clear understanding of what is really going on. Both these anime"s are dark, though Steins;Gate starts of with a lot of humour.Also, the voice actor of the main characters are indeed the same. 

Death Note and Steins Gate are very close in nature, you got the whacked out kind of genius in both series, and both main characters love playing with fire (figuratively speaking). If you're looking for an anime that has psychological thrills and don't feel like watching all of code geass these are some good options. 

I am a big fan of animes that require intelligent thinking, whilst the plots are not even similar, they both have a large sense of mystery as well as the ability to engage your mind! Both insanely brilliant animes that you're missing out on if you haven't watched them! Highly recommend on both sides. 

Both shows have characters of great intelligence. Both have characters that mess the laws of nature. DN with a god and this Steins;gate with a time machine. Finally, both shows aren't very gory. They show blood on occasion, however it isn't everywhere and their deaths aren't shown. In my own opinion, they are very interesting shows. Each have unique characters that makes the shows what they are, and I enjoyed them.  

Both series share a unique kind of way of looking at things. 

Both take place in present-day Tokyo and the protagonists of both rely on strategic thinking in order to accomplish their goals, chiefly by discovering and exploiting the rules of their newfound devices. Both also cover similar themes, such as "be careful what you wish for" and the ethical implications of a human having control over supernatural powers (for Death Note, it's whether one should have control over life and death; for Steins;Gate, it's whether one should have control over time).  

Ones a little more SciFi, the other is a little more Fantasy. Either way, chances are, if you like Death Note you will like Steins Gate. Both center around brilliant, eccentric individuals who are tasked with unraveling mysterious occurrences. Steins Gate is a little more light hearted with more lovable characters; But, both have HIGHLY engaging plots for the curious sleuth or scientist in all of us. 

The two anime are thriller wich have a lot of suspense. 

If you like the mind game aspect of Death Note I think you'll love Steins Gate. Bear with the series. This is one serie that starts out extremely slow. But just have faith. It gets really good. The start feels horribly slow, boring and meaningless. But in the end you will get why it's buildt like that. It will all make sense if you have the patience to get through the start. And when I mean start I mean the first 7-8 episodes.  

really gets your mind going, both are thrillers if you like the genre. 

Both shows excel in making you feel smart. (Big Brain Moments) Both shows become incredibly dark fast.  

they both have big brain plots and keep you on the edge of your seet when the action gets good 

sua paleta de cores, tensão, narrativa e público são extremamente parecidos. Recomendo!  

They are both very interesting shows that require lots of thinking and have great storylines that could be entertaining for all ages.  

This is a combination of: Steins;Gate ERASED Re:Zero AND A LOT OF HIGURASHI MASSIVE KILLING. Basically, time loop, mystery, and massive killing. VERY GOOD SO FAR 

Both shows involve time travellers, dark themes, suspense and conflict between time travellers that try to outdo each other by going back in time and changing the past.  

-The protagonist has the ability to travel back in time, so as to change what happened in their relative future -Both these shows handled the 'time-travel' trope in a very professional manner -Great directing, and character developments in both these shows too 

Both time travel related and had a very intriguing story 

Both have time travel and a somewhat smart protagonist trying to protect his friends. 

Both have same time travel genre 

Both of them share the same type of story, in both someone who's important to the protagonist dies and strange things start to happen, using the time as a factor for the story to progress, really goated 

It's also a time-travel type anime which deals more with time leaps and loops. It has the same mystery-solving aspect to it as well. Though it is more action-packed than Steins; Gate. Furthermore indulges you right into it from the get-go  

Protagonists travel through time to change the future and save loved ones. 

- Time travel & time loops to save a loved one - Realistic & interesting applications of time travel - Intelligent main character & cast - Mild fanservice 

Steins;Gate is kinda similar to Summertime Render but story plot is different as Summertime shows a boy who got miracle eye that help to back fixed difference time but getting reduced everytime going back while SteinsGate originally come from Game version but mostly scenes cut off fue to very long story, Anyway it shows that Houyin, or nickname Okabe who is typically mad scientist, who interested in going future world that has very little chance to happen like time machine that looked impossible to make work but he denied it is impossible and he met to who he called assistant named Makise Kurisu, a 17 years old girl who credit world renowned about alternative theory of relativity. Both of them created successful time machine in another world line but came back where story started. I cannot explain anymore but you better watch in arranged way 1. Steinsgate(TV shows) Episode 1-22 2. Steinsgate beta missing link 3. Steinsgate 0 full episodes 4. Steinsgate(TV show) episode 23-24   

The most obvious commonality between Summertime Render and Steins;Gate is the presence of a male main character with a time-looping ability. They achieve and utilize their powers in different ways, but broadly speaking, their powers are similar.  

Time Travel Theme: Both series explore the concept of time travel, its consequences, and the impact it can have on characters' lives. Butterfly Effect: Both stories touch upon the butterfly effect, where small changes in the past can have significant and unforeseen consequences in the present and future. Character Relationships: Mystery and Intrigue: Both "Summer Time Render" and "Steins;Gate" involve mystery and intrigue, with characters trying to unravel the secrets and mysteries associated with time travel. Emotional Impact: Both series incorporate emotional elements as characters grapple with the challenges posed by time travel, creating a mix of drama and science fiction. Convergence of Timelines: The convergence of timelines and the interplay between different timelines are central themes in both series.   

Both Higurashi and Steins Gate carry this notion of correcting time to create the perfect world. Both the main protagonists have to figure out what keeps making their world go wrong and when sent back in time have to use their accumulated knowledge to predict the best possible solution. In this situation the comparison is between Rika and Okabe, both finding themselves in similar situations bearing a great responsibility to protect their loved ones. 

Although Steins;Gate is not as gory and bloody as Higurashi, both have the concept of repeating the same scenes over and over again. In Steins;Gate the protagonist repeats the same events multiple times to save the people he loves. In Higurashi, Rika repeats the same events over and over again to try and save the town of Hinomizawa. 

Note: This is a recommendation for both seasons of Higurashi These two shows are similar in the sense that they are both about defying fate to reach a more perfect world. Both shows are placed in a world that have a seemingly unstoppable impending tragedy and the shows revolve around fighting what is said to be "fated." They also include some good humor and a lot of exiting mystery; you will be entertained from the first episode to the last. Both are amazing works and I would highly recommend one if you liked the other.  

Both involve a complicated and confusing story that unfolds itself in the end. Both involve redoing the same period of time over and over again(though its repeated more in Higurashi). I thought that Higurashi was more physiological but it doesn't mean Stein's Gate was any less interesting. If you liked one you'll definitely like the other. 

- Both have different timelines and worlds - Each time they mess up in another world they jump to another one. - Tries to save someone's life  

Tragedy, frustration and efforts that seem vain are present in both of these series. The sci-fi/supernatural approach is similar, but they have different plots overall. The hooks in both series are also simlar, as they build questions and curiosity whenever they have the chance. Pretty much masters of pace. 

The stories are very different, but have some significant similarities. Steins;Gate is a sci-fi, while Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is supernatural. In both there are various circumstances which all lead to a terrible ending involving death and destruction. There are some significant differences between the two anime, including Higurashi having a lot of gore and Steins;Gate having a romance subplot (granted, Higurashi has one to an extent, though it doesn't lead anywhere). Warning: the following includes Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Higurashi season 1) spoilers In both anime the main character needs to stop the inevitable destruction of the future by going back in time (in Higurashi's case, the timeline and circumstances slightly change each time) and trying to stop what happens.  

**POSIBLE SPOILER** Both deal with time travel in order to save someone and in every time loop, the protagonist discover something about the past of the characters involving him. Also, the two have an unexpected main villain (don't wanna say anything more so I don't give more spoilers...). Also have the rest of the main cast helping the protagonist in order to get their goals, and the same kind of humor. And the most important!! Both are masterpieces having a well done use of the time-travelling. Worth watching! 

If "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" is similar to "ChäoS;HEAd" then "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai" is similar to "Steins;Gate" Time travel, MC desperation to save the village, nakama power, mysterious organization. It's all there. 

-Both revolve around the MC being able to travel to a different timeline multiple times in order to prevent something from happening -The mix of ups and downs in the story-line makes both of these shows really fun to watch :D 

It's difficult to word this well due to spoilers but, These are stories about defeating Fate itself in a really similar way. If you liked how one of them handled things, you might like the other. 

Both are incredible stories that flow quite similar one to another. The main characters share the power to go back in time (in Steins;Gate via Sci-Fi, in Higurashi via Fantasy) and are determined to defy fate/destiny. Both present unforgettable and unexpected plot twists that makes you think of any possible future. Higurashi is a lot more violent and gory with scenes that can be hard to watch while Steins;Gate is more of a easy watch kinda. 

My 2nd and 3rd all-time favorites. You might think that they are not similar at all, and I don't blame you cause you're only looking at the tip of the Iceberg. If you do believe they are not, I will have to disagree with you. Both of them revolve around fate and how to break it and prevent a disturbing tragedy from occuring. Which settles their main characters in an endless spiral of torture, be it physically, mentally, or psychologically, just to achieve the perfect timeline where they could just live in happily without the unfortunate mishaps. Two of the most thought-provoking pieces of media which are enveloped with rich philosophy that radically changes your point of view on specific departments of our small world and potentially makes you question your entire existence and belief. On higurashi's part, (If you're a fellow steins;gate fan watching it), and feel like it isn't going anywhere and it's all about gore and brutality then do not worry, little soldier, for you have to fight through the original higurashi to achieve the answers you seek which will satisfy your desire for needing to know what the fuck is going on in it. —Recommendation ends here, only read more if you've consumed both— Steins;Gate delves more into the time travel concept in itself without fantastical elements, and is completely realistic, while higurashi has some non-realistic elements. Though—although the answer is rather superficial and the author doesn't dive deep into its ocean—it gave logical scientific answers to some of the most insane phenomena. Steins digs profoundly into the time travel essence and heart, sticking on it and further doubling down on the consequences of changing past, as it's entirely circled around Okabe travelling through several timelines just so he could mayhaps find the timeline where he could break the circle of inevitability (no lotm pun intended) that has been haunting him ever since he has rejected the notion of abiding by God's rules on His world (by "changing" fate). Higurashi is more about questioning whether fate is sealed since the beginning of time, and if it is possible to change it, alongside many other interesting side questions, like: Could dreams be a distant shattered memory of an alternative event that we have experienced in one of the ever-expanding worldlines we exist in? And if they exist, how are these worldlines interconnected with each other? One more thing, steins;gate sticks to its core since the very start, while higurashi does not, as its main goal is to confuse the watcher as much as it could, before giving them the proper logical reasonings to their questions. Time Travel is not a thing in the original higurashi. Here are some of the main messages Ryukishi (author of higurashi) wanted to convey to us through his timeless work of art: - People could continue their atrocities and extend them, just because they might think that they're done for and it's not possible for them to atone for their sins. - If someone doesn't speak out with the others about his insidious psychological illness, this could lead to terrible demise that might as well end up with him killing someone at the worst case, if suicide was not committed beforehand. Aggravation of personal crises can lead to the worst thing you can imagine. It is the true evil of our world, and is the sharpest self destruction weapon. - What it tries to convey on a wide scale is that every single person is capable of being a horrible being. A murderer. Nobody is safe from that. Not even the most innocent ones. Intrusive thoughts can control you. A person who is suffering in any form or way should not be ignored.  

Both animes talk about parallel worlds. In either cases, it is about getting out of a vicious cycle of death and murder around a specific plot dimension: While Higurashi suggests to breaking a folk town's curse, Steins;Gate revolves around the creation of a technological device while fighting against an organization's conspiracy. Violence will be involved in both plots, however Higurashi has a tendency to have very gory moments. Steins;Gate will, on the other hand, keep some of its humour around. 

Both start with a lot of humor and cute girls making cute sounds (Mayushii's "tuturu" vs Rika's "nipah") until bad things start to happen, very bad things. Both anime are essentially about going back in time, trying to prevent this from happening; thus you will see this bad thing happening over and over again in a different way. Warning: Higurashi is much more disturbing and gory. 

Looking for an anime to blow your mind away? With these two you really can't go wrong. Whether you're looking for an interesting story about time travel that turns darker towards the end (Stein's Gate), or you want to indulge yourself in horror and sadistic torture (Higurashi) that makes you want to keep your eyes open at night, you don't have to look any further. These anime are strong from start to finish and once you find out what's really going on, you'll be intrigued by how well both are put together.  

Both are based off of visual novels and repetition is central to the advancement and understanding of the plot of the show. 

Both have intense realization through the idea of world lines/time travel. Although Steins Gate is more viewer friendly, Higurashi offers just as good, if not better thrilling experiences. 

They use the same "concept" in their twists. Both thrillers will draw you in as you progress through the plot. 

Without spoiling it, the main characters overcome difficult obstacles to defeat fate. While Higurashi has darker themes, Steins;Gate is more sci-fi. Both anime, however, include complicated concepts (I can't say what those are without spoiling both.) While watching you may not think that they're very similar, but when you think about it, they both have similar plots. If you liked one, you'll probably like the other. Though, Higurashi has a lot more gore. 

Concepts about "time traveling" are being noticed in both shows and the characters try to handle it. These thrillers also start out like comedies, and later takes turns for the worse. WARNING: Higurashi has violence and gore and isn't acceptable to watch at midnight or a very public place. Unless you're not afraid of it. 

Just finished Steins;Gate but haven't had enough time looping and tragic suffering? Give Higurashi a shot! It's more of a mystery than Okabe's D-Mail adventure, but every bit as cerebral, leaving you pining for the next episode consistently. 

Both are about time travel and multiple timelines. Also both are about some great mystery 

Both are thrillers that will have you guess at every turn. What's happening here? Who am I supposed to trust? Is this character mentally insane? You have to have patience to watch both series, and they're both suspenseful. But all will be revealed in the end, dear viewer, so continue to watch! And they're both amazing series in my book :) 

The two series are about fighting against fate. 

Since Vivy is an Umehara work, this is an intuitive recommendation. Despite Steins;Gate's anime adaptation being a completely standalone story, the source material (the VN) is Part 2 of a much longer story known as SciADV. Umehara had written Part 4 (Chaos;Child), who many (including myself) believe to be a masterpiece on par with (if not better than) Steins;Gate. Unfortunately, they adapted 60-70 hours' worth of story into only 14 episodes in the Chaos;Child anime and completely butchered it. By comparison, Steins;Gate was 26-30 hours' worth of story into 24 episodes. Thus, Steins;Gate was the only SciADV VN done justice in anime form. Vivy gives off serious SciADV vibes, which makes sense considering it was half-written by Umehara. The two series explore some similar themes (such as artificial intelligence and time travel). Thus, if you like Steins;Gate/SciADV, you may like Vivy. If you like Vivy, you may like Steins;Gate.  

Both include the concept of time travel and trying to fix the world to result in an alternate, ideal universe. Character's in both anime show distinct characteristics that make them likable and interesting. Both anime have amazing action scenes without holding back on the bloody scenes. Vivy's animation style is a lot better as it's been recently released from WIT studio, but only had two episodes so far (as of this writing) as it's currently airing. 

- Both revolve around the idea of time-travel and multiple timelines - The main characters had to go through failures to get to the last outcome, with lessons learned during each timeline - Enough action/fighting to keep you entertained 

main character find way to change future to ideal future both epic sci-fi/thriller, if you like steins;gates you probably like vivy  

Both have time travel elements. Like changing the future since they have information about future 

You might find one better than the other. Nonetheless, both are pretty fun to watch, especially if you're a fan of sci-fi concepts, particularly time traveling concepts. Similarities: >The time-traveling concept used >The main character has the same goal, although what they have initially aspired for is quite different >The characteristic of the main antagonist. Differences: >Everything about the setting, ambiance, and premise >Amount of character development >One doesn't have robots while the other has 

They have a similar lore with concept of time travel & technology Both shows are focused on a person who is trying to change events in order to save the future and protect what's important to them  

In both the sci-fi anime our protagonist through time travel want to change the future , both the anime have good animation and sound track , vivy is more action oriented compare to steins gate 

Both are time-based anime about trying to save the world break out into a war trust me if you like steins gate you will like Vivi plus it has great animation  

The end is very inspired by Steins:Gate episode 23 and time travel will be something that won't ever annoy you. Furthermore, the plot is one of the most original ones in circulation and every episode will be a pulse pounding experience. 

-They do similar things with time travel -Steins Gate is a visual novel adaptation and Vivy feels similarly really Visual Novel-ish  

Main character isn't that eager to save the world until they are. Except saving the world is hard, and necessitates sacrifices. Is it impossible because of fatality or can they change their timeline ? They are relatively hard scifi : The plot deals correctly with AI (for SG:0) and time travel, in varying proportions. Use the same "consciousness is just memory" for diverse uses. Because of their length, SG develops the characters far better but more slowly (dialogue-oriented) while Vivy is far more action-oriented and denser plot-wise. Art is on the same level (for their period) and great soundtrack. The setting is oriented toward pop-culture (idols for Vivy and otaku for SG) Finally, same scenarist I think.   

in both anime, the protagonist travels back in time to save his loved ones, and faces difficulties. If you like time travel , then I advise you to watch these anime. 

Following a "damsel in distress" type of story, but presented in a modern way as it uses fictional scientific concepts to achieve just that. With that said, having some romance concept on a sci-fi show feels unique on its own; however, when one really watches these, then one would find out that there is more to these than what one could expect. Give it a try and see for yourself. 

Both Tokyo Revengers and Steins;gate have the time travel element and art both have to save the things they hold dear, they can't take their time either since there is a time limit, the protagonist in Tokyo Revengers has a lot of emotions and is pretty fleshed out I'd say so if you liked that aspect of Steins;gate then that's another thing to add to all of the wonderful takes on why it might be good for you! 

- Similar plot structure when it relates to time travel - Both have heavy emphasis on character development in order to progress themes and plot points - Heavy emotion in both. If you are a fan of the tragedy, both of these anime should appealing to you. - Main difference between the two is the tone of everything. Steins;Gate maintains a serious tone throughout, with the only lighthearted parts being the characters actions and speech. Tokyo Revengers juggles a balance between being set in middle school, but also in a gang, which both convey completely different tones. It does manage to do this quite well however, but personally I prefer a little more consistency as it can strengthen the contrast that the characters present as seen in Steins;Gate.  

Failing to save someone ended up having regrets but sometimes if you save them it will be ended up in a good way but sometimes in a bad way. Recommended to watch them.  

Both MC's are kind of similar Both shows have time travel in it Both shows have great animation Both shows are thrillers and work your mind Both are great shows 

Even if there are a few differences between these two, they both have that great element of travelling through time and the following consequences. With that I mean the protagonist changes something, goes back to the present and has to deal with the differences by changing stuff to get an "ultimate timleine". (sorry for my bad engllish explanation skills9 I just love these two because it is interesting to see what a minor change in the past can do yknow? AND THE CHARACTERS AHHHH the story of TR in general is outta this world in my opinion, because you suffer with the characters like they were real lol. It is by far my favourite anime yet lol, definitely watch worthy!  

-Both are related to time traveling. -Both have similar reasons for time travel. 

If you enjoy the time traveling concept, Steins;Gate definitely has a more established plot than Tokyo Revengers. Steins;Gate is however more scientific and technical, but is really one of the best anime ever created. 

Minor Spoilers !! Both have timetravel. Incase of steins gate they use a microwave but incase of tokyo revengers a mere handshake does the same. In both of them the changed past alters the memories of people in present (except the mc) sg is more scientific whereas tr has focused on gang fights 

- time travel - trying to save someone who passed away by going back in time over and over again 

Both Tokyo Revengers and Steins;gate have the time travel element Both have romance concept (Saving your girl) Both have a great character development Both of the show are well written with great plot twists Both of the shows have charismatic characters  

The core elements are what obviously link the two animes. Lovely optimistic characters, good story line with dramatic depth twist and humor. Steins gate got it all. Charlotte is good but not as detailed as steins gate is with double the amount of episodes. So if you enjoyed Charlotte you might get a really lucky find with steins gate. But otherway round also works ;P 

Although likely different genres, both shows follow a similar pattern involving a slow, slice of life, buildup with foreshadowing throughout the first few episodes, then picking up in a big way halfway through the show. 

Both shows involve saving a loved one, a side (just a bit) of romance (both only at the ending), and some time-travel. Both gave me an emotional rollercoaster, so if you love that kind of stuff then that would be great for you. Pretty cool fictional concepts that aren't too much out of the world. 

both focus on a group of characters getitng caught up into some pretty strange shit along the way as well as their friendship. 

Steins:Gate focuses on time traveling itself and Charlotte on kids with powers. In Charlotte however is also a little bit attention to time traveling. What makes these anime similar is that it takes itself a bit serious and that the story is set up as choice driven. Choices made have impact on the story and outcome. Both anime has a rather grim mid episode but end up in a hopeful note.  

- Supernatural power/psychological anime - MC is male protagonist who want to save a girl - Both MC are so OP - Slow start, but very intense after middle of the story till the end, so please keep watching! (But Charlotte is more easy to understand, while Steins;Gate will make you confuse if you watch only 2-3 episodes) - has some comedy for relaxing (just only the beginning of the story I think) - cool opening 

Two sci-fi stories about young men doing everything in their power to save those they love, perfect for those who love intricate plots with dark tones and psychological elements. 

Recently rewatched Charlotte, and while it won't live up to the hype of Steins;Gate, it is a short show that may help fill the void of being done with Steins;gate. Full of plot twists, suspense, sci-fi, and similar character development, Charlotte is almost like a mini-Steins;Gate.  

Similarities: The main character (Male) fights to save those who he loves, cherish and those who supported him Mysteries 

Main character goes through changes to try to save a loved one and change the world. There are a lot of psychological struggle similarities between the MCs of the two shows as they try to change something that is greater than themselves. There are also some time traveling involved. 

Both anime is about time-travelling and the mechanism is used excellently in both stories. Noein spends a bit more time with the "future" worlds than Steins;Gate does and feels a bit more darker/moody than Steins;Gate because the latter had more funny dialogue. Aside from that, Steins;Gate generally had better characters so expect some differences in characterization (Noein had a younger cast in the present timelines), but character developments in both was quite well done. 

Noein is the "kiddo" version of Steins;Gate. Both have time-travel plot, and in both the hero wants desperately to save the girl he loves and his friends from a terrible event and at the same time prevent an horrible future to humanity. Both are a great watch. 

Parallel worlds, time travel, convergence, unlimited possible futures, hopelessness, despair, different space-time theories, inability to escape from fate and of course people who (un)willingly screw everything up... They share so many tropes! Even the character design is somewhat similar, although Noein takes more risks, I'd say. It seems to me that Steins;Gate is more otaku-oriented while Noein is more of a slice-of-life and romance. Nonetheless, both anime excel in plot twists and characterization, as well as entertainment value. 

Both anime deal with time travel, quantum physics and theories of diverging time lines. 

Travel through time lines, different dimensions, a continuous struggle for a better future and prevent chaos. Also in both anime the protagonist struggles to protect the girl he loves and friends that he appreciates. 

Both shows depict Time traveling with unlimited possibilities. Both shows that the main character has the ability to view the other timelines. Noein focuses more on the Dragon Knights from La'cryma (one of Earth's possible future) coming to the present to retrieve an 'object' called 'Dragon Torque' in order to save their world. As the Dragon knights enters into this timeline (the present) by accident, one of the Knights realised that this timeline is very similar to theirs and swore to protect the dragon torque at all costs. The others insists that it is just an illusion and the torque is just a tool, but he swore to not cause damage into this timeline. Steins;Gate focuses on one group of people who managed to create the worlds first time machine. The main character kept experimenting with it and realises that it can be used to change the past, present, future by sending just an message. He tries to help his friends to change the world into a pleasant world for them when he realises that, for each message that he sents, one of his friend would be killed a day earlier. Whats more, they found out that a few years later, a corporation would use their time machine to rule over the world, turning everybody into human slaves. In order to prevent these from happening, he needs to cause minimal changes onto a world to save his assistant to prevent this incident to occur. Thus he set off going trough crazy amount of time trying to save both people. Both shows can cause a viewer to be confused although Noein's confusion occurs later in the show compared to Steins;Gate.  

The two anime share a lot of background concepts, in particular parallel timelines and time travel within the framework of quantum physics. There are some subtle differences in their interpretations of these concepts and they differ quite a lot in their presentation, however they are both excellent, highly recommended sci-fi titles. 

Both are Sci-Fi anime dealing with time travel and alternate realities/worlds. However, Steins Gate is the grown-up version of Noein--it does not have the amazing musical score that Noein has, but it definitely has more mature themes. This anime makes you think, while Noein captivates more than anything (though it certainly makes you think too). Give this anime the first 10 episodes for plot and character development--THEN it gets exciting and addictive. But all of the episodes are beautifully done (acting and artwork are amazing). The artwork stays amazing throughout the whole series--there were probably only a couple of moments when I thought it was less than the best. Highly recommend both anime.  

Some similarities include: - Both consider time travel and infinite possible futures. - Both are incredibly confusing for most of the show, so watch out. They also take a rewatch or two to fully understand (even then, there's still some confusion!). - Both revolve around relationships with friends, family, lovers, and generally keeping together to reach a greater goal. Some differences include: - Noein is more fantasy whereas Steins;Gate tries to be more realistic. - The art styles and music played throughout the shows are very different. 

Both focus on time travel/alternate dimensions (of a sort) and touch on how time lines can be altered based on an incident at a certain point in time. Although Noein is more fantasy based, there are similar concepts which run throughout. Obviously there are some differences. Steins;Gate has a lighter and less intense feel than Noein which involves more combat. Steins;Gate revolves more around a central character trying to advance in science as oppposed to Noein where the science already exists and is more about the control of it. Whilst they are both unique in their own right, each give a different spin on similar themes . Steins;Gate's plotline is simple and easy to follow with some clever twists whereas the Noein storyline was a little more complex and a bit deeper. If you enjoyed Steins;Gate I would recommend you give Noein a try.   

Playing in a cat-and-mouse game, Steins;Gate and Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Tokyo) crafts thriller from the essence of its story. The main characters are intelligent but faces against dangerous adversaries. Throughout both series, there are mysteries unraveled and plot twists that unfold. Tragedy ensures at some turn points as well when we learn more about the the motives of the characters and story. I recommend both series if you are interested in a thriller story with intellect. 

Both psychological, awesome art, and calm. they're just like each other, i don't know how to talk xD 

The grafics of both animes look the same, even the intros realy look alike. In both animes the main characters work hidden for authorities to achieve their purposes. Both give you the same calmness vibes and then they make something that will make your heart beat. Must watch series to everybody. zildoxD 

Sci-fi that explores the deep and often dark real-life consequences of common ideas, with a great urban-Japan feel. Excellent writing, beautiful animation, and fun characters. 

In the beginning we don't (talking about my opinion) get the story behind this anime. We need to get to the lasts episodes and finally match all the pieces and then understande the meaning of the all thing and get blown away. 

-mysterious atmosphere -secrets -cool characters  

Everething from character development world building resembles between both this animes zankyou no terror is an all time favorite for me so defintly check it out 

Same visual style and both have that Shaft-Esque feel in the way they are directed, steins gate is much more on the mystery, thriller side and is also much longer 

We have here our main trio of characters in each one there is a mad man usually really enthusiastic about how crazy, experimental or dangerous some experiments must be, we have also our silent, glass user and expert at hacking computers, and also our brainless gril that has a strange love-relationship with the madman, and those groups must defeat a organization, also both shows take some similar dark artstyle whcih helps for the thrilling vibes 

Fear, Anxiety, Depression, worries and mainly Terror You will feel while watching these animes. For me both are Masterpieces  

Both Anime deals with time-travel, and the MC time-travel many times just so he can fix/save the world/time he came from, both anime starts off normally but it turns NUTS really quick and there's a lot of twist along the way, both series have amazing soundtrack & character art....... Over all both anime is one of the best anime I ever watched 

The plot lines are extremely similar because they follow a lone protagonist struggling through alternate or distorted timelines. Both shows do a great job of portraying the main character's thoughts feelings as they experience this dilemma. Both are brilliant pieces of work and should be watched not only be fans of Steins Gate and Haruhi Suzumiya, but by any fan of anime in general. 

Both involves time traveling in order to restore the world line with very similar scenes that will give off vibes to the other anime. 

The plot of these two anime is very similar. Both deal with time travel and while one deals with other things such as aliens and espers the plot follows remarkably a similar line. This is a movie and you have to see the whole series beforehand. But when you are going to see the movie you will inevitably think of steins gate. 

Both Kyon and okabe must bear great burden to make everythings get normal. If you like story about time travel/time leap, I recommend to watch Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu and suzumiya series too.  

Both anime have time travel, and try to returning to original world and choose whether the world is right or wrong. 

These masterpiece have a lot of similarities like time traveling, and has one of the biggest plot twist that I have ever watched, if you like some sci-fi that has something to do with time then I recommend you watching this amazing shows. 

Did you love Steins;Gate because of how it manages to handle the time-traveling aspect well? Or is it because of the mystery, thriller, and drama present in the story? Then let me present to you a movie that also handles these types of themes/concepts remarkably. "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" manages to achieve the same level of emotional rollercoaster Steins;Gate was able to attain in only 2 hours and 45 minutes. Both shows exhibit the main character forced to struggle in alternate timelines to get everything back to normal. Both are a must-watch and one of the best things this medium has ever produced. 

Both got time travel Both got good characters 

A story were details matter and which do not forget about what happened earlier - these is the main similarity between those two. Both have time travel elements but slightly different. Steins;Gate is a more typical time travel story, with a machine that can alter the past. In Sakurada Reset the past is altered thanks to special powers some people have. 

Well, so far I only watched the first episode but I managed to notice a few things these two animes have in commom so far: In both animes, there's the possibity go back into the past. The special abilities of the MCs are very similar. Both MCs feel interested about helping others.  

even if sakurada reset have a slow path they give the same vibe near the end of the show! 

If you liked Steins;Gate you'll like Sakurada Reset they're both reboot in the time. 

Awesome anime.Both are kind of cool and smart. Both are Clever,has time travel and a complex plot. 

It has time related concept. The MCs help the people who has problems in their life. The romance is also present.  

Both stories are focused around time travel and they both start off pretty slowly as well too but worth the wait still. 

Complex story? Check Time travel related? Check Abit of romance? Check Smart MC? Check Some drama and action? Check Sci-fi? Check Is amazing? Check 

The Anime deal with other world lines and the story lines both make the viewer guess what is going to be happening next. 

Mawaru Penguindrum is more of an acquired taste than Steins Gate and it won't appeal to everyone, but both deal with themes about: - Love (Family, Friendship, Romantic and even obsessions), and the lengths people would be willing to go for a loved one - Fate and changing fate - Grief, death and self-sacrifice. Both start out quite light-hearted and then all of a sudden become serious, both have a good drama element which will leave you wanting to watch more and both have twists in the plot that keep you interested until the end. 

my recommendation is not like "oh the main character of this anime has a blue hair and in this anime, the main character also has a blue hair". My recommendation is more deeper than this. In this anime the brothers were using the power to change time and people's destinies to fulfill their selfish needs and just like this anime, In Stains;Gate, the main character also uses the power to change time and people's destinies to fulfill his selfish needs whether it's good or bad. If you liked the Mystery side of this anime than stains;gate is not really for you, but if you liked how science was used and how dark the anime was or how the brothers were trying to save their sister than this anime Stains;Gate is definitly for you! because guess what? the main character of Stains;Gate is ALSO trying to save two ppl that he loves so...watch this to see HIS version of trying to save someone using time :D  

The essential 'flavour' of both anime is similar. They are both a confused and uncertain search for answers and exploration into the less well-understood. The manner of plot revelation is also similar, considering their timing and intensity. The main difference between them is that Mawaru Penguindrum is a more abstract, idealistic take on the above. 

similarities in both anime: -have many plot twists. -the theme is rather dark. -since there are many mysteries in both anime, I think the audiences need high concentration while watching those. 

Both revolve around main characters trying to save a girl, in this instance, their sister. Both include many twists and turns in the plot that don't take away from the main storyline, and also have a deep tone of "If you watch the first episode, many random things will happen, but if you watch it all the way through, then you'll understand everything. 

Both stories have a slight mystery element to them. They are both cleverly written with events that will shock you. Both series start out light hearted before becoming dark and sad. The art style to Mawaru Penguindrum is brighter and more colourful than Steins;Gate but I'm sure most people will enjoy it because it is beautiful. In Steins;Gate, the main protagonist will do anything to save someone he loves. The two brothers in Penguindrum will do anything to save their sister.  

Well, at first glance, you don't see much similarity between these two as both series starts out with an almost slice-of-life like scenario. However... - Both later gets into complex plots - Both have suspense and thriller like scenarios - Both have comedy and drama - Both have darker tone of the story as the episodes progresses All in all, you will enjoy both of these series. At least, I hope. 

Both anime are about bizarre phenomena occurring in a city setting, with various events that all end up tying together in the end. 

They both have the same investigative type feel dealing with fictional topics like time travel or mystical creatures. If you liked one you'll probably like the other 

Both shows start off very slow paced, but eventually builds up to an intense plot. Although the plot is completely different, they both gave off a similar vibe. There is a lot of suspense and unexpected plot turns. 

-Both animes makes use of non-linear storytelling -Good Plot twists 

Both can at turns feel like a slice of life series, but splice in more compelling narratives that keeps you engaged. Also the settings (contemporary urban Japan), make the atmosphere feel similar in both.  

Both very character driven stories and both are urban fantasies 

Since Steins;Gate is way more known, i'll just say that I definetly felt a Steins;Gate vibe in Seishun Buta Yarou wa Yumemiru Shoujo no Yume wo Minai Movie, the first season of Buta Yarou must be watched before the movie ^^ If you haven't seen Steins;Gate, just go watch it 

Plot is related to time and there is romance involved in both. 

-Both of them share a similar back-drop - Going to different timelines to change or alter the protagonist's relative present -Some scenes will leave you in denial, which is a good thing when watching a show of this sort -If you enjoyed the premise of either, you'll enjoy the other show too :)  

It has a very similar plot line with a main character having to use time travel to save the people he cares about. Similar themes of grief and dealing with loss are touched on. Keep in mind this is a sequel and requires watching the original series. 

Both of these anime have the main character wondering to themselves which of two people they must save. They know that even if they manage to save one person, it's painful to lose the other, and they must find some way to save both of them. This can include making decisions that have big risks, losing memories, and possibly not meeting someone in the first place. They will do whatever it takes to make sure that everyone is happy in the end. 

Without spoiling steins gate, both shows have a main character while fully being aware of the weird things that have been happening around them, they both have a female figure that supports them throughout the series, and especially in the movie they both delve into the theme of time travel o alter a tragic future... 

Both contain similar themes of trying to go back to do something. 

It has a time travel pseudo-science feel and is a sorta slice of life anime with a plot if that makes sense. The jokes are similar and ITS GOT A REDHEAD IN IT! 

slice of life with sci-fi elements that follows the strange adventures of quirky members from a group that investigates the supernatural 

As I make this recommendation, I am referring to each series as a whole. Both animes have an interesting and complex plot. Both are science fiction, and involve time travel as a major part of the plot. 

This movie deals intricately with witty character interaction, good character development, and extremely similar elements of time-travel. The animation and art are both great, and the music will really pull you into the show. There are tense moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and there will be light-hearted moments where you can laugh. Either way, if you watch either, be prepared for one heck of a ride! Important note:The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is only a movie you can only fully appreciate if you have watched the previous two seasons adapted before it.  

The main similarity of the two series lies in the main character and their connection to the characters around them. Both Haruhi and Kyouma are eccentric, loud, and drag their friends into untold mysterious operations. And while the friends outwardly complain, they would not have it any other way.  

Two intricate plots with sci-fi elements played by some odd characters. A lot of pseudo-science and smart talk to justify the depth of the stories. Both animes also deal with time traveling (although Steins;Gate has it as its focal point). People who like puzzling plots or sci-fi stuff in general will like these two animes. 

if you're into time travel and tsundere girls, you'll love Haruhi and Kurisu both tsundere cute as ever. both about time travel and a group doing random things together, having a bold story line with funny and likeable charters. ost are great in both animes  

Two mad scientists who are looking to save the world or make it a better place for everyone, both use different means to achieve this, containing rivals with completely different or opposite goals. 

- Both have a mad scientist protagonist - Each protagonist attempts to change the world with their vast scientific knowledge. 

Both animes focus on scientific solutions and the main character is a huge fan of science. They both achieve almost impossible targets. Instead of adding a lot of science fiction, they have shown almost legimate scientific steps. So if you are a science geek and liked Dr. Stone, you should absolutely watch Steins; Gate. 

Who enjoys those anime the most? The anseres seems so easy yet so hard, knowledge in general is what people have been seeking since the birth of society its an human instinct to lern new stuff and solve proplem after problem. Throughout the story this is what keeps you sticking to them. Lets be real who doesnt enjoy watching genius people solving problems. 

If you liked Steins Gate I'd recommend watching Dr.Stone they're both really good Sci-Fi Anime, though Steins Gate might be a little tricky Dr.stone focuses mainly focuses on real-life problems that might happen and real-life solutions as for Steins Gate the anime focuses on time travel which isn't something humans can do in real-life, at least not yet I think in my opinion (lol). Both anime make references to things that exist and happened in real-life so I hundred percent recommend giving it a watch. 

Both are sci-fi with a great storyline that will hook you on them if you like science  

Amazing science built stories with out of the ordinary (mad scientists) MC. Very funny and interesting, we progressively understand the mysterious event that started the plot.  

Steins;Gate is a soft science fiction story about an ensemble cast who's recently discovered a wonderful invention, leading to trouble both with their own use of the device, and trouble with an intervening government body. Both shows feature a similar group of characters and the viewer is slowly threaded along the plot until everything is revealed in the very end, and the basic premises are very alike. Both series implore the same sort of attention from the viewer, and are very alike thematically. They are also alike due to their lack of action scenes and the subtle/nuanced romance being slowly developed throughout the course of the show.   

Both involve phones that are used to change the world and are mysteries and have romantic elements 

Both of these series contain a great sense of mystery and suspense that leaves you constantly wanting to see more, while also having nice touches of romance along the way. 

Both revolve around how the prominence of new technology can change the course of the world for good or for bad. The issue of memory loss as a result of this technology also occurs in both of these animes. Steins;Gate is more sci-fi/time travel though. 

The story follows a similar group of characters, whose actions get the attention of a mysterious and shadowy organization. Although the plot is different (Eden of the East is not about time travelling), both animes have eccentric main characters, good humor, a subtle and nicely paced romance, hackers, neets and the same feeling of suspense and mystery. Also, both animes are obsessed with cellphones. 

Tongue-in-cheek sci-fi tales with stakes that are much larger than they initially appear. 

These series both have quite an enigmatic tone, and have similar styles of humor and characters. Though taking place in a realistic world, both protagonists are eccentric, smart, and surprisingly selfless, obtaining cellphone-related power that they must use for the good of the world and those around them. Indirectly fighting for the future of mankind against shadowy organizations and conspiracy. All while a group of fun and skilled friends help, though not always knowing what's going on.
