While the release date is still subject to change, it seems that Madman Entertainment are planning a February 2013 Australian release for Steins;Gate Collection 2 – following the December 2012 release of the first collection (Featuring the first half of the series or episodes 1-12). As with Collection 1 you will be able to pick this up on both DVD and Blu-ray.
Steins;Gate is based on the visual novel originally released by Nitroplus in Japan (At the moment there is no English release of the visual novel however visual novel publisher JAST USA have been picking up Nitroplus titles for release so this may be possible down the track). In addition, the series boasts character designs by HUKE (Black Rock Shooter) and seems to have been well received during the companies recent online streaming of the show.
Expect a review of Collection 1 here after launch in December 2012.
Prepare yourself for the mind-bending conclusion to the sci-fi anime event of the year!
The microwave is a time machine and the girl gets shot. Okarin sends another text. Nukes another banana. The mad scientist meddled with forces he never should have known about. The girl gets run over by a car. Okarin goes back to stop the bleeding. Dashes madly through the dark streets. Races against time. The girl gets hit by a train. Failures and flatlines multiply in a ghastly pattern of repetition. Over and over and over again until sanity is stripped away and you start to notice shapes slipping in and out of the shadows. SERN. The girl gets stabbed before and after the kissing. Okarin grows frantic. Bodies pile up around him. SERN is getting closer. The girl is bleeding. A Top Secret Future Gadget Lab member from the future is their only hope. The blood sprays and the girl dies. SERN destroys the world. Kills all the girls. There is time for one last try. Now Okarin bleeds but he won’t stop. Ever. The microwave is a time machine and the girl always gets shot.
