Steins;Gate
canon movie sandwichSteins;Gate follows self‑proclaimed mad scientist Rintarou Okabe as he discovers how to send messages to the past, spiraling into a high‑stakes battle against a secret organization. The story continues directly in a feature film that resolves lingering plot threads, then expands into the alternate‑timeline sequel Steins;Gate 0. Optional OVAs and ONAs provide comedic or side‑story moments but are not needed for the main narrative.
canon movie sandwichConfidence 95%
The original TV series is followed by an essential movie and then a sequel TV series, creating a sandwich of required visual media.
Why it confuses people: The canon movie and sequel series are required for plot continuity, so skipping them creates narrative gaps.
