Understanding the Science Adventure Universe
#

Science Adventure (also known as Kagaku Adventure) is not a single linear story, but rather a collection of interconnected series. If you are looking to dive into this world, it is important to understand that it consists of several distinct “parts,” each with its own narrative arc and set of characters, ranging from the time-traveling chaos of Steins;Gate to the technological mysteries of Robotics;Notes.

Because it is an umbrella for multiple series, the question of whether it is “finished” depends on which specific story you are following.

Is the Anime Really Finished?
#

For most of the individual arcs, the anime provides a significant amount of content. For example, the Chaos series moves from Chaos;HEAd through to Chaos;Child Silent Sky, providing a sequential progression. Similarly, Steins;Gate has a primary series, a movie, and an alternate-ending sequel in Steins;Gate 0.

However, the Science Adventure brand continues to expand beyond the anime. Recent news indicates that the franchise remains active in the gaming space, with the Anonymous;Code game and the upcoming Steins;Gate Re:Boot slated for 2025. If you are a completionist, you may find that the anime serves as a gateway, but the full experience of the universe often extends into games and manga.

If you want to own a piece of this universe, you can buy Science Adventure merchandise to commemorate your journey through these timelines.

Appeal and Themes
#

Science Adventure is best suited for viewers who enjoy high-concept science fiction, psychological thrillers, and mysteries. The series frequently explores themes of technology, robotics, and the consequences of altering reality. Whether it is the robotics focus in Robotics;Notes or the occult mysteries in Occultic;Nine, the appeal lies in the intellectual curiosity and the tension created by its complex plots.

If you enjoy these kinds of mind-bending stories, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to start your investigation.

The Completionist Order (Including Source Material)
#

For those who want every single detail, including the manga and spinoffs, you should integrate the written materials. For instance, the Steins;Gate experience can be expanded with the original manga and spinoffs like Bōkan no Rebellion and Hiyoku Renri no Sweets Honey. Similarly, Robotics;Notes fans can dive into the Revival Legacy manga.

You can buy the manga and light novels to fill in the gaps that the anime might leave behind.

The Arc-Based Order
#

If you prefer to finish one story line before moving to the next, we suggest grouping them by “part” as shown in our relationship tree:

  • The Chaos Arc: Chaos;HEAd $\rightarrow$ Chaos;Child $\rightarrow$ Chaos;Child Silent Sky.
  • The Steins;Gate Arc: Steins;Gate $\rightarrow$ The Movie - Load Region of Déjà Vu or Steins;Gate 0 (for the alternate ending path).
  • Standalone/Related: Robotics;Notes and Occultic;Nine.

Final Tips for New Viewers
#

Be mindful that some entries, like Steins;Gate 0, are not traditional sequels but alternate endings. This means the story diverges from the original path. To avoid confusion, always check the relationship tree to see if a series is a direct sequel or an alternate take on the events.

For those who prefer reading, the Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes manga offer excellent ways to experience the stories in a different medium. You can find them here.
