What is the recommended viewing order of Steins;Gate?


I looked up some info about Steins;Gate and there appears to be a new series
out, which ended airing in September 2018, called Steins;Gate 0.

Considering there are a bunch of OVAs and alternative cuts, it's not super
easy to figure out where the "full" experience is.

What is the recommended order to watch the _Steins;Gate_ set of animated
works?




I think like _Monogatari_ series, this is also a bit opinion-based question.
However, going with release order is fine.

I would not recommend the chronological order for the first-timers. You will
miss the references and 100% spoiled if you look at things like episode
discussions.

By nature, _Steins;Gate 0_ tries to explain a plot point you already know. You
can watch the original _Steins;Gate_ and call it a day, but by watching _S;G
0_ you can get more of it **if you want.** It's like good old manga/anime
discussions; you like the anime, then read the manga to get more of it.

Now, considering that, I think you should watch in this order:

  1. _Steins;Gate_
  2. _Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link - Divide By Zero_
  3. _Steins;Gate 0_

As for the movie and OVA, well, you can watch them after the original
_Steins;Gate_ or after _S;G 0_. But for me, watching it after the original
_Steins;Gate_ is better.
