Steins;Gate 0 (anime)

Steins;Gate 0 (シュタインズ・ゲート ゼロ) is a 2018 anime television series that adapts and continues the story of the visual novel of the same name. The anime is considered to be the final iteration of the Steins;Gate 0 story as it shows the way to its true ending. As with the previous series, Steins;Gate 0 was produced by White Fox and originally marketed as a 'true sequel' to Steins;Gate.

On March 28th, 2015, the same day as the visual novel was announced, Chiyomaru Shikura, the executive director of MAGES., stated that the anime had already been greenlit. The anime began airing on April 12, 2018, spanning 23 episodes and an OVA.

The opening theme song is Fátima, sung by Kanako Itō. The ending themes are LAST GAME, sung by Zwei; World-Line, sung by Asami Imai; and Gate of Steiner, also used as the True Ending theme in the visual novel. The anime also featured several insert songs, including Amadeus, the opening theme of the visual novel; Hacking to the Gate, the opening theme of the original Steins;Gate anime adaptation; Skyclad Observer, the opening theme of the original Steins;Gate visual novel; and Lyra, the normal ending theme of the visual novel.

Plot
Unlike the previous anime, the Stein;Gate 0 anime alters the events of the original visual novel, even taking place on separate world lines from the visual novel. It combines elements from all 6 endings in order to tell a more linear story. The world lines the anime takes place on are seen as the final world lines to achieving the Steins Gate World Line and differ therefore from most of the world lines in the visual novel.
