Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 7 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Steins;Gate watch order covers all 24 episodes of the original 2011 series plus the alternate Episode 23β, two OVAs, and the feature film, so you can watch everything in the correct order. Begin with the main run of Episodes 1-22, then the branching Episode 23β before continuing through the standard finale in Episodes 23-24. Once the TV series wraps, move on to the side stories: the Egoistic Poriomania OVA followed by Valentine's of Crystal Polymorphism: Bittersweet Intermedio. Save Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu for last, since it takes place after the events of the show and rewards you for finishing the series first. This chronological sequence keeps the time-travel plot coherent and makes clear where each OVA and the movie slot in relative to the numbered episodes, which matters more here than in most franchises given how the story loops back on itself.
