Note: this is an update to an already existing list on Honey’s Anime. To read the original list, scroll down to the bottom of this article!Steins;Gate is a rare example of an anime that 100% delivers on something that is very difficult to do.
In this particular instance, that something is accurately utilizing the concept of time travel in its storytelling. By not only putting a unique twist on the time travel method itself but also successfully using it to reach a satisfactory resolution, Steins;Gate is one of the select few time-travel stories across all genres of entertainment to achieve this.As a result of this successful form of storytelling in conjunction with developed and entertaining characters, Steins;Gate has become one of the more popular anime in recent memory. This popularity has resulted in Steins;Gate 0, a sequel that is currently on the way, and fans are already getting geared up to revisit the world once again. Until that happens, however, here are 6 anime similar to Steins;Gate that can tie you over. Satoru Fujinuma is a 29 year old manga artist who suddenly has the ability to go back in time several minutes whenever anything dangerous happens to him.
Calling this ability “Revival”, Satoru uses this powerful ability to try and save as many lives as he can. However, after being falsely accused of murdering someone, Satoru somehow finds himself going back 18 years to a mysterious event that happened to a classmate named Kayo Hinazuki that may be somehow related. The story focuses on Sartoru’s quest to save Kayo and protect those he cares about back in the present day.Erased is similar to Steins;Gate in the sense that the main character in both series uses their special time travel ability to prevent bad things from happening to those they care about. In addition, both Okarin and Satoru are primarily focused on preventing the murder of a childhood friend of theirs. Erased’s mystery and supporting characters may not be as developed as the characters in Steins;Gate, but if your favorite episodes of Steins;Gate are the ones involving Okarin trying to save Mayuri, then this is a short series you’ll enjoy.
Boku Ddake Ga Inai Machi Trailer. Subaru Natsuki was just a normal kid; the last thing on his mind was being suddenly taken from his normal life, get thrust into some kind of strange fantasy land, get beat up by some thugs, meet a beautiful girl, and get killed by a mysterious darkness alongside said girl. Yet Subaru suddenly awakens to the same exact scenario of confronting the thugs from before and meeting Satella all over again. As Subaru tries to cope with how exactly he was able to go back in time, he soon realize that he’ll have to use this new ability to help protect his new friends and save this new land.This anime is very much like Steins;Gate in terms of the main characters not only being similar in personality, but also having the same time travel ability as well as very similar motivations for using said ability. In addition, Re:ZERO is also another of the select few time-travel stories to not have any plot holes result as a result of time travel being used in its story. It also bears a resemblance to the story in terms of getting more and more suspenseful as well as developing a more psychological tone as both Okarin and Subaru get more and more desperate in their attempts to fix their mistakes.
Definitely a series to check out, as it resembles Steins;Gate in more ways than one. Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Trailer. Takumi Nishijou is a reclusive high school student at the Private Suimei Academy. When killings dubbed as the “New Gen” murders begin happening around the city, Takumi dismisses them as he has no connection to them whatsoever.
But when strange events begin happening around him to the point where he doesn’t know what’s real or what’s simply a delusion, it’s up to Takumi to figure out who the mastermind really is and where his fate truly lies.If you found yourself liking the concept of Okarin meeting new people that ended up becoming new lab members, then you’ll like Chaos;Head, as Takumi goes from being a loner to meeting multiple girls connected to stopping the person behind the New Gen killings. In addition, although it might not seem obvious at first glance, Takumi bears some resemblance to Okarin in the sense of their belief that very few if any people really understand them, resulting in their eccentricities leading them to being almost entirely alone. Chaos; Head may only be 12 episodes long, but if you liked the method of character building in Steins;Gate, then you’ll enjoy Chaos;Head. Chaos;Head Trailer. Jinta Yadomi was spending his days as a recluse playing video games until his childhood friend, Meiko 'Menma' Honma, suddenly shows up.
Only one problem; she died many years ago. Slowly believing that what he saw wasn’t a hallucination and actually Menma, Jinta goes to reunite his old group of childhood friends who all grew apart after her accidental death. As Jinta slowly reunites the group, their desire to help fulfill their former friend move on grows stronger as they also try to bring closure for themselves as well.Steins;Gate may be a sci-fi anime, but the relationship between the characters, especially Okarin and Kurisu, is what helps set it apart from most other sci-fi anime. The Flower We Saw That Day may utilize flashbacks in terms of its connection to time, but it strongly delivers on the emotional front. Each of Jinta’s friends have different ways of coping with what happened to Menma, just like how each of Okarin’s friends have different reactions and hopes regarding his ability to change the past and create a different future. The Flower We Saw That Day may focus more on the concept of death as opposed to time travel, but if you were a fan of the romance and characters reacting differently to the same event in Steins;Gate, check out this anime. Anohana Trailer.
In her final year of high school, Makoto Konno is dealing with the normal struggles one has with family, school, friends, and the future. That is, until Makoto finds a unique item that allows her to literally leap backward in time. Makoto has fun with this amazing ability at first by preventing small accidents, avoiding embarrassing situations, and overall having fun with knowing what will happen beforehand.
However, she soon learns firsthand how truly complicated time is and how each choice has a consequence.This movie is probably the go to example of what someone would probably do when realizing they can go back in time for the first time, making it more believable. Steins;Gate works the same way, as Okarin and his friends send the unique text messages in the past regarding small situations at first before building to bigger and bigger changes. Both are also similar in the sense that they feature devices as the source of the time travel ability as well as a character from the future that’s come back to the past. If time travel is your pure interest in Steins;Gate, check out The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, especially for the reveal at the end. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Trailer. Central Tanegashima High School's Robotics Club is in danger of being shut down. Kaito Yashio, one of the club’s two members, is only focused on robot fighting games, and Akiho Senomiya, the club head, aims to complete a giant robot and save prevent the club from losing its status.
However, it is Kaito’s discovery of the Kimijima Report that soon sets the wheels in motion as the club gets more and more members while also becoming vital to stopping Kou Kimijima's conspiracyRobotics;Notes does not really have any time travel. However, what it lacks in time travel it makes up for in terms of world building. Steins;Gate was able to establish a backdrop to their world that invited people to take a closer look into what exactly is going on in terms of technology, and Robotics;Notes takes a further step in that direction. Robotics;Notes in itself has a lot of themes to digest, but if you appreciated the setup and format that Steins;Gate took in setting up the characters and the story, Robotics;Notes takes a similar approach with its story as well.
Robotics;Notes Trailer. Steins;Gate is just one of those types of anime that is hard to replicate in terms of its unique balance between science fiction, romance, and mystery. Above all else, the hardest thing for another anime to match it would be its unique tone and approach to this balance. That being said, however, these 6 anime have similarities to Steins;Gate in terms of their use of time travel, their character relationships, and their method of storytelling, and are worth checking out if you want to get as close to the feeling that you got watching Steins;Gate. What do you get when you put a cell phone and a microwave together? Well, if you were like me, you would need a new cell phone. However, in Steins;Gate, the self-proclaimed mad scientist, Rintarou Okabe, accidently creates a method of time texting.
That’s right. Not time travel, but time texting, where he is able to send texts back into the past and change events.This is not a happy-go-lucky anime where the lead character gets rich and lives a happy life.
Instead, Rintarou’s life will not be the same. Each text he sends changes the very world he lives in.
Not every text that is sent can change what is meant to be.This is an anime full of laughs and heartache by bringing you into its grasp like a hurricane playing with a butterfly. It drags you into the action and breaks your heart by the time it’s done.There are many anime that capture peoples attention, here are a few.
Just like in Steins;Gate, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time tells an interesting time traveling tale, where Makoto Konno accidently gets the power to travel through time and effects the past.At the beginning of this sci-fi anime movie, Makoto is a normal baseball loving high school girl. Once she realizes that she has the power to travel through time, she enjoys her high school life and becomes the model student, always on time and always has the perfect score on tests. Soon, she starts to realize the drama she is causing for her classmates and friends. Once, she evens avoids a romantic situation where her best friend, Chiaki Mamiya, confesses his love to her.Just like Steins;Gate, Makoto comes across a situation that she can’t change, no matter how hard she tries. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (theater notice). One thing you have to know about Haruhi Suzumiya, is that you have to just go with it. Like Steins;Gate, it has sci-fi and a little bit of romance in it.
Unlike Rintarou Okabe in Steins;Gate, Haruhi Suzumiya might actually be a mad genius. In each episode, she is coming up with some new way to torture her club members, who happen to be Mikuru Asahina (a time traveler), Itsuki Koizumi (an ESPer), Yuki Nagato (an alien) and Kyon (a normal high school boy.)The second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya parries Ground Hog Day, where on an unconscious whim of Haruhi, the entire club of the SOS Brigade is dragged through the last week of their summer vacation 15,532 times. That’s about 42 years and 6 months for those of you who are bad at math.The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a slice of life of the weird and mysterious. Yet, it is always good for a laugh.
Mirai Nikki, The Future Diary, is another anime that brings the idea of time texting to the forefront. The main character in The Future Diary, Yuki, is a loner and not very good with people. He loves his phone and is always writing on it. He soon finds texts that he hasn’t written yet. Eventually he realizes that these texts are sent by his future self.However, The Future Diary takes the idea of time texting to a new and darker level.
Where the god of Time and Space gives people this power and makes them fight to the death. The last survivor gains an ultimate prize.Any Animes Like Steins; Gate? Noein is another action, sci-fi, time traveling anime. The main character is Haruka, a high school kid. One night when she was out with her friend, Yu Goto, time stops and a man clad in a black cape appears before her. The man is Karasu. He has been sent back to find the Dragon Torque.
Unlike in Steins;Gate, the time difference between the present and the future is enough to show the impact of tinkering with the past.A parallel dimension is split off from ours called Shangri-La, and people from that dimension have sent back an agent to find the Dragon Torque and kill it. So far, I have told you about anime where the main characters are the ones behind the time traveling, however, Blast of Tempest is the opposite of that. Mahiro Fuwa and Yoshino Takigawa are unaware that they are trying to catch the murder of Mahiro’s family, who happens to be a time traveler.Blast of Tempest starts one year after Mahiro’s family was murdered.
Yoshino is dealing with the loss of his girlfriend, Aika, who was Mahiro’s little sister. One day while visiting her grave, Yoshino was attacked by a strange woman and was saved by Mahiro. After this reunion, Yoshino joined Mahiro in the hunt for the killer.Sometimes, life’s roads take us down strange paths.
This anime will drag you down its road and you’ll enjoy every mile. The last anime that I am going to talk about is called World’s End.
It is similar to Steins;Gate by having time travel, cellphone use, romance, and the attempt to save the past, present, and future.Imagine waking up with three friends in a world that has been devastated by time. “How did we get here?” is a question you might be asking yourself. “How can we get back?” is another. The most important question that you will ask yourself is, “What happened to everyone?”Arata, along with her friends, finds themselves in this same situation in the anime World’s End. All that she has with her, is a cell phone with a picture of her boyfriend. The four girls spend their time searching for clues while staying alive.The anime, Steins;Gate, is said to be the prime example of what a time traveling anime should be. It is what other sci-fi anime should look to become.
Of course you have older anime that has dealt with time traveling, Inuyasha for starters. Even Dragon Ball Z has had some time traveling. Who doesn’t like the future Trunks?Well, I guess I am out of time. There are so many anime that have the time traveling mechanic woven into the plot. But, I don’t have a time turner to give me extra time. If you find more anime like Steins;Gate that you think I should have covered in this list, please let me know.

When someone thinks of classic series, a number of different series should be coming to mind. Anime series like, and more are worthy of claiming a spot on that list.RELATED:However, with the anime medium being a more recent entry in mainstream media or pop culture (in the west, at least) compared to other forms of media like film or comics.
Now, there are also more modern classics in anime that have come out in the 2000s and the early 2010s, classics like. This science-fiction anime cemented itself in 2011 as a hit in the department and here are 10 reasons why that is. 10 The Science FictionFor those that see themselves as science fiction buffs and are fans of anime as a media platform, look no further than visual novel adaptation of. First and foremost, the series is centered around the sci-fi concept of time travel. That alone should be enough to entice fans of the genre to at least check out the series.The story centers around Rintaro Okabe and his friends and how they accidentally discover a way to send text-based messages back in time. Other interested parties take notice and chaos ensues.
The science-fiction elements of the story are certainly what makes the plot the most thrilling. 9 Each Character's PersonalitiesAny piece of media is nothing without the proper appeal of the narrative's characters. And, thankfully, satisfies in that department. The characters themselves are part of what drives the anime's plot and overall narrative.Rintaro Okabe is an egotistical and eccentric wannabe mad scientist with ultimately a heart of gold, Daru is the funny and all-around otaku fanboy with a perverted nature, Mayuri is the lighthearted happy-go-lucky friend of the group, etc. And there are plenty more personalities that each make the characters stand out and make the viewer love them all for who they are. 8 Character Relationships And DynamicsJust like the personalities of each of the characters help to make them all stand out and help the viewer feel invested in all of them, these characters develop relationships with each other and interact with each other due to these qualities. If the characters themselves are part of what helps drive the thrilling science fiction and thriller narrative and plot forward, another part that drives the plot is the relationships between the characters.RELATED:This is especially true with Okabe's relationship with each of the members and friends of the makeshift lab.
For instance, his long, deep friendship with Mayuri plays a pivotal role in the plot of Steins; Gate. And that is just one of the character relationships. 7 Twists And TurnsWhile Steins; Gate is primarily a science fiction anime, it also doubles up as a thriller.
And part of what makes a great thriller is a mystery along with twists, turns, and revelations sprinkled throughout the series' run. This particular series definitely does not disappoint in this department.There are a number of revelations spread throughout the series, like who is the mysterious John Titor and how does he know about the future?
Why does Suzuha have a mysterious problem with Kurisu? How does this dreadful future come to realization? There are those and more.
6 The Art Style And Animation Hold UpAs with any anime, or quite frankly, any animated medium, the given art style, and animation have to be top-notch if it is to appeal to any viewer. While Steins; Gate is an anime that is eight years old, the art style is very clean and appealing to the eye. Everything down to the colors used is totally crisp. Just like with the art style, the animation quality is equally as high and holds up to this day.While there are certainly much older anime out there with more impressive feats of art style and animation that still hold up now, see Cowboy Bebop, this is still important in Steins; Gate. Everything animates and moves very smoothly throughout and there aren't any typical shonen-like fight scenes and actions, so the animation doesn't need to do anything straining.
5 The Main ProtagonistWhile this list has touched on character relationships, dynamics, and personalities, the main protagonist, Rintaro Okabe, deserves his own entry. It is because of the combination of his personality and his individual relationships with each of the characters that this sci-fi thriller narrative is able to drive forward so well at the pacing it is at.RELATED:Rintaro Okabe is delightfully arrogant, egotistical, eccentric, all that help make Rintaro so endearing in his own way and have the ability to carry the weight of the plot on his shoulders. 4 It Has A Good Touch Of RomanceFor those that like some romantic interests and elements sprinkled in your media (or anime), without making it an outright romance anime, viewers are bound to be pleased with the romance implemented in Steins; Gate.Adding romantic interests to the characters in anime is a good way of getting the viewer even more invested in the characters and to care about them more and how their overall personal plot points unfold. In this case, there is a particular romantic interest that develops with the main character, Rintaro Okabe.
This element of romance adds further stakes and emotional impact to the plot. 3 Worldwide Stakes On A Small ScalePart of what makes the visual novel video game adaptation Steins; Gate unique is in how it tells its story and on what scale it does so.
There is plenty of, not just anime, but any media of their narrative and overall plot be told on the basis of the characters having to overcome monumental odds and obstacles to overturn worldwide negative effects on the world around them. Steins; Gate also does this, but the difference is in how it does this.Okabe and company must defeat the organization known as SERN by keeping time travel tech away from them to avoid an apocalyptic future. However, the story is told entirely from the small scale of the Akihabara district of Tokyo. This gives the story a more intimate and unique angle. 2 It Has The Right Amount Of World BuildingThis one might seem strange given the fact the story's narrative takes place on such a small scale. But it is because of this small-scaled world-building that makes the story and the way that the characters interact with the world around them so great. First and foremost, the story is set in the Akihabara district of Tokyo.RELATED:This sets the primary stage that Steins; Gate takes place in by being in the technology and otaku center of Tokyo.
A perfect setting for a wannabe mad scientist-and one particular otaku fanboy named Daru-to be in. But the next bit of world-building comes in Suzuha's telling of the potentially apocalyptic future they are trying to avoid.
This does well to up the narrative's already high stakes. 1 The Modern Japanese SettingOf course, realism isn't something that is the primary premise of Steins; Gate with time travel being the center of the plot. However, for those that like a realistic and modern setting in their anime, this particular anime is a good stage for just that.As already noted, the series takes place in the 2010 Akihabara district of Tokyo; so, modern enough, at least.
Despite the overall science fiction flavoring of the series, the Akihabara district of modern Tokyo provides a great grounded setting for an otherwise thrilling aforementioned science fiction plot.NEXT.
