Steins;Gate 0

Synopsis

The eccentric, self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintarou Okabe has become a shell of his former self. Depressed and traumatized after failing to rescue his friend, he has decided to forsake his mad scientist alter ego and live as an ordinary college student. Surrounded by friends who know little of his time travel experiences, Okabe spends his days trying to forget the horrors of his adventures alone.

While working as a receptionist at a college technology forum, Okabe meets the short, spunky Maho Hiyajo, who later turns out to be the interpreter at the forum’s presentation, conducted by Professor Alexis Leskinen. In front of a stunned crowd, Alexis and Maho unveil Amadeus—a revolutionary AI capable of storing a person’s memories and creating a perfect simulation of that person complete with their personality and quirks. Meeting with Maho and Alexis after the presentation, Okabe learns that the two were Kurisu’s colleagues in university, and that they have simulated her in Amadeus. Hired by Alexis to research the simulation’s behavior, Okabe is given the chance to interact with the shadow of a long-lost dear friend. Dangerously tangled in the past, Okabe must face the harsh reality and carefully maneuver around the disastrous consequences that come with disturbing the natural flow of time.

Steins;Gate 0 is an emotionally gripping anime that delves into the depths of despair and hope, exploring the consequences of time travel in a beautifully tragic manner. Set in an alternate timeline to the original Steins;Gate, this series unravels a tale of shattered dreams, unyielding determination, and the complexities of human relationships.

Following the events of the first season, the story centers around Rintarou Okabe, a brilliant but tormented scientist haunted by past failures and losses. Consumed by guilt, he finds himself trapped in a state of apathy, unable to continue his quest to change the course of history.

Amidst Okabe’s desolation, he encounters a group of eccentric individuals known as the “Future Gadget Laboratory.” Together, they embark on a journey that transcends time and space, driven by a shared desire to unlock the secrets of the elusive “Steins Gate.” As they navigate treacherous paths and face formidable adversaries, their bonds of friendship and love are tested to their limits.
