Hey all, it's your favourite idiot who makes rubbish anime boxes.
I decided to do another visual novel box, but I decided to try my hand at a popular one, so I picked Steins;Gate this time. Particular things I like about this is the design on the front (sorry I could only find good pictures of Moeka looking to the side) and the colour grading to make it look like the logo. I also took cues from my own Fate/Zero box [shameless plug] like the "god rays" light streaks and the haze (yes again with the cop-out white haze). The template is recycled wholesale from my Planetarian box (still also a very good visual novel, getting an anime adaptation soon).
Hope you like, if not... well shucks.
Steins;Gate Box Cover Comments
Comment on Sarashi's Steins;Gate Box Art / Cover.
this is really nice dude, great job.
would have liked to have seen some of those colours and lightstreaks from the front implemented onto the back though, it looks kinda blank/incomplete in comparison
amazing box nonetheless

I had similar thoughts but there wasn't anywhere that struck me as a good place to put them.

is her name christina

Good question, I would write it with the kanji so it'd be Kurisu and not Chris[tina] as the katakana would read. Your mileage may vary and if you're not writing it at all and you're speaking it it could possibly be either (I'm not sure if there's any ideal intonation for Kurisu's name though)

@Sarashi is this the will of stein's gate

MadScience, Daru, Doo Do Doooooo, Christina, Nyancat and Shining Finger. These are the canon names.

@Mub The visual novel translated it as "the choice of Steins Gate" so that's why I wrote it as such.

@Sarashi I know I just couldnt remember

@Mub I think the anime translated it as "will". That's the only reason why I justified in case you hadn't read the VN.

@Sarashi I've never seen the anime fwiw, I've only played the VN unaware it ever had an adaptation. Same with Chaos;Head, which I played a long time ago and learned this was the sequel to that like last year.

@Mub Wow that is a very rare situation. I have the visual novel but I only got it because of how big a fan I was of the anime. Very surprising to hear you read the visual novel first. Most people I know don't know the anime was based off the visual novel.

@Sarashi I think having a bunch of friends into VNs kind of aligned it for me, I don't really read many VNs other than the more horror-ish sci fi focused ones like Danganronpa or Virtue's Last Reward so It's kind of a weird situation all around heh

@Mub @Sarashi I played Chaos Head, then saw the Chaos Head Noah's extra scenes, and Robotics Notes. I'm kind of not interested enough to go through Steins Gate yet. I'm more interested in playing Chaos Child, the sequel (or is it a prequel?) of Chaos Head but I don't think this has a PC version and if it has I don't know if it's translated already

@Higashi89 As soon as they localise Robotics;Notes I'll buy whatever console it's on.
[ Reply ]
@Sarashi Then it'll probably be PS3 or PS4. but I'd play on PC

@Higashi89 Visual novels are meant to be played at 800x600 windowed on a 1024x768 CRT monitor of a computer running Windows XP wherever possible. Else just on a PC. It's gonna be annoying enough playing Steins;Gate 0 on Vita.

@Sarashi Robotics;Notes is never gonna be localized, its just insane to think its a console exclusive visual novel. I'd love a steam release though, I'd also love JAST to release steins;gate on steam so that nitroplus can see there is in fact a western market for games like this.
Also I played Chaos;Heads very rough fantranslation that JAST showed interest in completing but never did. Chaos;Head wasn't that interesting in my opinion anyway. Too much exposition.

looks great, but as Mat said, the colours added on the back would've been nice. perhaps behind the cogs?
[ Reply ]
good job.

Love the box and this anime!!! :D
[ Reply ]
If you've come for the anime you're in the wrong place. This is for the visual novel, which is fairly different from the anime.
[ Reply ]
Ah I see, still a great box!
[ Reply ]
Oh this is nice. Missed this.
[ Reply ]
Congrats
Don't know how I missed it

Thanks everyone, especially Rossagues, whose favourite pushed it in.

I thought I favorited this already, but nonetheless, conglaturation
