# Where to Watch Steins;Gate

## Where to Watch

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

Crunchyroll is the easiest entry point for most fans, streaming the complete run subtitled; Bilibili TV mirrors it and makes a handy fallback if Crunchyroll isn't offered in your country. An official English dub was produced (Colleen Clinkenbeard directed the ADR), so check each platform's audio options if you'd rather watch dubbed. Regional catalogs do shift over time, so confirm the title is live in your region before settling in.

## Synopsis

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.

## 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.
