# Where to Watch Steins;Gate 0

**Steins;Gate 0 streams on Crunchyroll. The sequel to one of anime's greatest thrillers explores the timeline where Okabe failed — a darker, sadder Steins;Gate about grief, AI, and the cost of giving up. If the original wrecked you, this is the other half of the story.**

## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](http://www.crunchyroll.com/steinsgate-0)

Crunchyroll carries Steins;Gate 0. It's absolutely not a starting point — the entire series is built on the original's ending and one specific fork in its story.

## Synopsis

Rintarou Okabe has renounced the mad scientist Hououin Kyouma. Traumatized by his failures across the worldlines, he's chosen the ordinary life — college classes, quiet friends, no time machines — while the people around him tiptoe around the wreckage. Then, at a technology forum, he meets Maho Hiyajo and Professor Leskinen, whose creation changes everything: Amadeus, an AI built from the memories of someone Okabe could not save. Talking to a ghost with her voice pulls him back toward the machinery of fate he swore off — as the future he was supposed to prevent begins assembling itself around him.
