Mystery. Struggle. Grief. Some gore. As a fan of Steins Gate, I was pleasantly surprised with Summertime and I found the shows comparable!

This is a combination of:

AND A LOT OF HIGURASHI MASSIVE KILLING.
Basically, time loop, mystery, and massive killing.
VERY GOOD SO FAR
Both shows involve time travellers, dark themes, suspense and conflict between time travellers that try to outdo each other by going back in time and changing the past.

Both have time travel and a somewhat smart protagonist trying to protect his friends.
Both of them share the same type of story, in both someone who's important to the protagonist dies and strange things start to happen, using the time as a factor for the story to progress, really goated
It's also a time-travel type anime which deals more with time leaps and loops.
It has the same mystery-solving aspect to it as well.
Though it is more action-packed than Steins; Gate.
Furthermore indulges you right into it from the get-go

The most obvious commonality between Summertime Render and Steins;Gate is the presence of a male main character with a time-looping ability. They achieve and utilize their powers in different ways, but broadly speaking, their powers are similar.

They both have time travel elements, however in my opinion Summertime Render does the time travel mechanic better by adding consequences for dying. It is explained in Summertime Render that when he dies, his respawn time goes closer to when he dies each time he dies. They are both really good animes. Steins gate is more mainstream but Summertime Render is definitely an underrated gem.
