Time flies, so much so that it’s already 15 years since Steins;Gate and to celebrate, the companies in charge of this visual novel, Mages and Nitroplus, have presented a video collaboration with Monogatari. The Japanese novel that, enigmatic in its animation, will now be part of a joint project of the time travelers that everyone knows. Will it be a new game, many conjectures that point to the big on this anniversary.
Monogatari celebrates the 15th anniversary of Steins;Gate by doing a collaboration
Steins;Gate was released in 2009, becoming the icon of visual novels in Japan and much of the world, now turning 15 years old. In this video of both franchises, we see the characters of Monogatari and the Lab Members, although we do not appreciate a specific environment. This is why there are not many clues besides the collab between franchises.
In previous months, the Steins;Gate franchise had made certain posts with the name Steins;???, alluding perhaps to a new chapter for the story of our characters in the work. Let’s remember that this visual novel coexists with others of the Science Adventures universe composed of many visual novels from the company Mages and Nitroplus. These novels have a chronology that has advanced since the release of Steins;Gate. What will become of our characters? What we do know is that the merch has never stopped coming out due to the popularity of the characters, such as Makise Kurisu who has dazzled in different figures, as in this note of our page.
Both works are mythical, with a beautiful atmosphere and characters that are intoxicatingly well-written. Recently, Monogatari Series has held art exhibitions and screenings of its best works in cinemas and theaters in Japan. Now it’s Steins;Gate’s turn to dazzle on its anniversary, expecting an interesting work for fans. A visual novel, an anime, a collection of figures, now we can only wait for franchise announcements and enjoy them in the best way.

Steins;Gate is created by Mages and NitroPlus. It shows us the normal life of a boy named Okabe Rintaro, who thinks he is a mad scientist, self-proclaiming himself Houin Kyouma. Together with his childhood best friend, Mayuri Shiina and his inseparable Super Hacker, Daru Hashida, they have a futuristic invention lab. Actually they are a group of friends who enjoy being together, one day their new invention, a microwave time machine, which has not worked as it should, causes something never seen before.
After attending a scientific meeting, Okabe meets the prodigy Makise Kurisu with whom he talks and converses, but at one point, upon meeting her again, he finds her lying dead on the floor. This causes Okabe to scream and run outside, avoiding a message to Daru about this tragic event. The moment he sends the message the world stops and apparently, something changed. His invention, the D-mail, of the microwave, apparently worked. How can time travel even be possible? This story focuses on time travel and the consequences of it in a masterful and unrepeatable way.
Rated as one of the best works to come out of Japan, Steins;Gate works as a great series to watch or a fantastic visual novel to enjoy. Without a doubt, the sound is one of its strongest points. Having a large repertoire of bands, artists and composers who have created audiovisual gems such as the openings and endings of the visual novels or anime adaptations.
