Steins;Gate 0
Steins;Gate 0 follows the path created when the original story's defining choice ends in failure. Crunchyroll carries the series. This 2018 TV anime spends much of its time with the emotional aftermath of that outcome, then draws its science fiction ideas back into focus through artificial intelligence and the threat of a disastrous future. Its mood is heavier than the original, with grief shaping both the quieter conversations and the mounting thriller plot. Watch it if you finished Steins;Gate and want to understand what the failed route contributes to the larger story. It is a poor entry point for newcomers because its premise reveals the original series' ending immediately.
About
After repeated attempts to change a terrible outcome, the returning protagonist abandons his theatrical persona and tries to settle into an ordinary college life. His friends can see that he has not escaped what happened, even as he refuses to return to time travel. A meeting at a technology forum introduces him to researchers working on Amadeus, an artificial intelligence assembled from the memories of the person he could not save. Speaking with that digital presence reopens wounds he has tried to bury. It also pulls him toward the same questions of memory, choice and competing worldlines that he wanted to leave behind, while signs of the future catastrophe gather around him.

Seasons & Watch Order
Start with the original Steins;Gate series and continue to Steins;Gate 0 afterward. The later show branches from a choice near the original's conclusion, so watching 0 first would spoil the event that gives its story weight.
