It has been announced last year that the Steins;Gate visual novel is getting an anime adaptation, and now 5pb/Nitroplus has released a trailer for it.

The story of Steins;Gate takes place approximately one year after the events that took place in Chaos;Head, in Akihabara and is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past.

As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down and now the characters have to find a way to avoid being captured by them.

The story sound interesting enough for me to give it a shot. However seeing that they are in the same universe, I think I have to go back and watch Chaos;Head again since I didn’t really pay much attention to it =/.

If I remember correctly, Chaos;Head leaned more towards the “magic” side whereas Steins;Gate, judging from the synopsis, seems to be more on the “scientific” side. If that’s the case then I’m all for it seeing that I liked To Aru Kagaku no Railgun way more than To Aru Majutsu no Index =P.

Steins;Gate will begin airing in Spring 2011.
