Where the anime gave no date, the piece draws on dates from the games the anime adapt, and on context clues for the rest. It also explains why Occultic;Nine, once part of a separate Science Visual Novel grouping that was abandoned, now likely sits on the Steins;Gate Worldline.","whyItMatters":"The timeline treats the franchise as one connected world rather than a set of spin-offs, and its note that Occultic;Nine was retconned into the Science Adventure Series gives that show's conversations a different weight.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe feature sorts entries by attractor field, the branching structure Steins;Gate uses to separate worldlines. Dates come from the anime where they exist, from the games where they do not, and from context clues in the remaining cases. One example is Steins;Gate: The Sagacious Wisdom of Cognitive Computing, placed by three details: the Phonewave on the desk, Suzuha absent beyond a Reading Steiner flashback, and Kurisu\u0026#39;s hotel room matching the one in Load Region of Deja Vu.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOccultic;Nine is called the shakiest inclusion. It was made under the Science Visual Novel label, where the Science Adventure Series was meant to exist as fiction inside that world. That concept was abandoned, and the show has since been retconned into the Science Adventure Series itself, with later games treating both as equally real.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Placing Occultic;Nine on the Steins;Gate Worldline reclassifies a title that was marketed under a separate banner. The Science Adventure Series map now absorbs a property designed to sit outside it.","twitterPost":"Putting Occultic;Nine on the Steins;Gate Worldline folds a title built for a separate banner into the main Science Adventure Series map.","threadsPost":"Occultic;Nine was sold under a separate Science Visual Novel banner before that grouping was abandoned. Placing it on the Steins;Gate Worldline now pulls it into the same map as Chaos;Head and Robotics;Notes, so the timeline does more than date the shows: it reassigns where one of them belongs.","newsletterBlurb":"Anime News Network published a timeline of every Science Adventure Series anime, sorted by attractor field. Where the anime gave no date, the piece uses the games and context clues. It also works through Occultic;Nine, retconned into the franchise after the Science Visual Novel concept was dropped.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Anime News Network\",\"url\":\"https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2026-10-21/steins-gate-and-beyond-the-complete-science-adventure-series-anime-timeline/.240948\",\"title\":\"Steins;Gate and Beyond: The Complete Science Adventure Series Anime Timeline\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4589,"outputTokens":643,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1792592536,"createdAt":"2026-10-21T14:16:50.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-21T14:21:07.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-21T14:21:07.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_05bfaeaa93a9ceb54f6e80d5","canonicalTitle":"Steins;Gate and Beyond: The Complete Science Adventure Series Anime Timeline","representativeArticleId":"a_107e1c71824e26b9f5b7086f","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[\"Steins;Gate\",\"Steins;Gate 0\",\"Chaos;Head\",\"Chaos;Child\",\"Robotics;Notes\",\"Occultic;Nine\"],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Science Adventure Series\"],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"op_ed\",\"domain\":\"anime\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-21T13:00:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-21T13:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-21T14:21:06.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Anime News Network","url":"https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2026-10-21/steins-gate-and-beyond-the-complete-science-adventure-series-anime-timeline/.240948","title":"Steins;Gate and Beyond: The Complete Science Adventure Series Anime Timeline"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":["Steins;Gate","Steins;Gate 0","Chaos;Head","Chaos;Child","Robotics;Notes","Occultic;Nine"],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Science Adventure Series"],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"op_ed","domain":"anime","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
