Speculations:Adaptation Decay

Just like in many adaptations (not exclusive of anime series adaptation), Adaptation Decay happens. According to TVTropes, Adaptation Decay is: "The gradual distortion or even disintegration of a world and its characters during its odyssey from original source material to movie to TV movie then to television series then to video game and finally to licensed derivative work."

On this Speculation article, users and fans of the original Steins;Gate visual novel can talk about the changes done by the staff of the anime series, and if it is destructive to the plot of the original or otherwise.
