What makes Steins;Gate worth a rewatch?

Knowing how a story ends changes what you notice on the second pass.

The first time through a time-travel story, you’re busy keeping track of what happened and what might happen next. On a rewatch, a quiet exchange can hold your attention because you know where the characters are headed. You have room to pay attention to the choices they make before they understand what those choices will cost.

That’s a good reason to pull Steins;Gate off the shelf again. Pick a character you mostly treated as part of the background the first time. See what the story looks like when you follow what they want from scene to scene.
