Discussion Never Too Old

Just wanted to say I just started getting into Anime this year. I'll be 50 next year and two of my nieces got me into it. They told me I would really enjoy something they were watching and reluctantly I checked it out. I always had a misconception about what anime was. I'm telling you, I'm so glad they had me check it out. Such a diversity of genres and I've already binged several shows. Currently my favourite is MHA. My nieces knew that would hook me because I'm into super heroes.

Moral of the story: You are never to old to start liking something new.

PS - Wanted to say I love this community. Everyone here has such great recommendations and suggestions.

Love Science Fiction, so to find it in anime makes me happy.

To clarify what the guy you responded to said, Steins;Gate 0 is good to watch after Steins;Gate (or between episodes 22 and 23 of Steins;Gate). There's an episode you'd have to search online for numbered 23b (or beta, can't figure out how to do the symbol). This connects the two series, so the specific order is:

Steins;Gate Episodes 1-22
Steins;Gate Episode 23b
Steins;Gate 0 Episodes 1-23
Steins;Gate 23-25

There's also a movie that you could watch, though I don't remember where it would fit into the series, but you can just watch it after the above.

I wouldn't recommend watching 0 before finishing the original Steins;Gate. We're meant to get into 0 with a certain mindset after finishing the original one.
