Where can I watch Steins;Gate legally?

Crunchyroll and Bilibili TV both stream the complete series officially. Crunchyroll is the go-to for most regions, while Bilibili TV is a useful alternative where Crunchyroll isn't available.

How many episodes is Steins;Gate?

The TV series runs 24 episodes and tells a complete, self-contained story — there's no abrupt cliffhanger leaving you stranded at the end.

Is there an English dub?

Yes. An official English dub was produced, with Colleen Clinkenbeard directing the ADR, so look for a dubbed audio track on your streaming platform alongside the subtitled version.

Do I need to watch anything before Steins;Gate?

No. It stands entirely on its own — just start with episode one. It's loosely connected to a broader Science Adventure series, but the show is written as a perfect entry point with zero prerequisites.

About

Tucked into a cramped Akihabara apartment, Rintarou Okabe fashions himself a 'mad scientist' and presides over a ramshackle Future Gadget Lab alongside two friends: his cheerful, scatterbrained childhood friend Mayuri Shiina and Itaru Hashida, a hacker steeped in otaku culture. Their tinkering looks like harmless play until one contraption — a microwave they can operate by text message — begins doing the impossible: sending messages backward through time. What opens as goofy invention slowly curdles into something far heavier, as Okabe discovers that editing the past exacts a brutal price. Built from 5pb. and Nitroplus' celebrated visual novel, it starts as quirky comedy and tightens, episode by episode, into one of anime's great science-fiction tragedies — patient, dialogue-driven, and quietly devastating once its hooks are set.

Seasons & Watch Order

Start here. This 24-episode TV series is the definitive entry point and tells a complete story on its own — watch it first, no prerequisites. Once the credits roll, the franchise opens up around it: a lighthearted OVA epilogue, an alternate-route retelling, and a feature film that carries the journey further. Save all of those for after the main series, since they assume you already know these characters and what they've been through.
