 If you liked Steins;Gate |  ...then you might like Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu |
Beginning with the obvious, both Re:Zero and Steins;Gate were animated by the same studio, White Fox and both main protagonists have time traveling related abilities. Now for the juicy stuff, both Okabe and Subaru are quite different from the usual anime protagonist and aren't meant to be self-inserts for viewers. They both must overcome obstacles to save the ones they love and both feature thrilling story lines and engaging characters that break the mold of most anime tropes like Tsunderes (with Steins;Gate's Kurisu) and Moé characters (Re:Zero's Rem). The authors want you to see the MCs go through very difficult (and sometimes gory) hardships in order

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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:
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
