<p>I think like <em>Monogatari</em> series, this is also a bit opinion-based question. However, going with release order is fine.</p>

<p>I would not recommend the chronological order for the first-timers. You will miss the references and 100% spoiled if you look at things like episode discussions.</p>

<p>By nature, <em>Steins;Gate 0</em> tries to explain a plot point you already know. You can watch the original <em>Steins;Gate</em> and call it a day, but by watching <em>S;G 0</em> you can get more of it <strong>if you want.</strong> It's like good old manga/anime discussions; you like the anime, then read the manga to get more of it.</p>

<p>Now, considering that, I think you should watch in this order: </p>

<ol>
<li><em>Steins;Gate</em></li>
<li><em>Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link - Divide By Zero</em></li>
<li><em>Steins;Gate 0</em></li>
</ol>

<p>As for the movie and OVA, well, you can watch them after the original <em>Steins;Gate</em> or after <em>S;G 0</em>. But for me, watching it after the original <em>Steins;Gate</em> is better.</p>

I actually tried this and it's not bad at all. But I would not try it the first time. Actually I want to try to add the gamma world line to this (there are small "animated" drama CD on youtube).

<p>I looked up some info about Steins;Gate and there appears to be a new series out, which ended airing in September 2018, called Steins;Gate 0.</p>

<p>Considering there are a bunch of OVAs and alternative cuts, it's not super easy to figure out where the "full" experience is.</p>

<p>What is the recommended order to watch the <em>Steins;Gate</em> set of animated works?</p>

I think like *Monogatari* series, this is also a bit opinion-based question. However, going with release order is fine.

I would not recommend the chronological order for the first-timers. You will miss the references and 100% spoiled if you look at things like episode discussions.

By nature, *Steins;Gate 0* tries to explain a plot point you already know. You can watch the original *Steins;Gate* and call it a day, but by watching *S;G 0* you can get more of it **if you want.** It's like good old manga/anime discussions; you like the anime, then read the manga to get more of it.

Now, considering that, I think you should watch in this order:

1. *Steins;Gate*
2. *Steins;Gate: Kyoukaimenjou no Missing Link - Divide By Zero*
3. *Steins;Gate 0*

As for the movie and OVA, well, you can watch them after the original *Steins;Gate* or after *S;G 0*. But for me, watching it after the original *Steins;Gate* is better.
