Serdar Yegulalp writes: "Among the many shows that debuted at Otakon 2012 was Steins;Gate, which is fast shaping up to be one of the major English-language anime releases of the latter half of 2012. It's due in no small part, it seems, to the talents of J. Michael Tatum. Aside from being the voice actor for the lead role, self-styled mad scientist Rintaro Okabe, he also wrote the English-language adaptation of the dub script. When we interviewed him the afternoon before the world premiere of the English-language version at Otakon, he was enormously excited about it -- and more then a little nervous."
