Script writer is definitely not enough. Part of what made Steins;Gate really work as well as it did was just an overall fantastic production (Beside the visual quality which was fairly standard). In particular it was the directing (There were two). Hiroshi Hamasaki's work on Texhnolyze and Steins;Gate is fantastic, cinematography is really strong in his works. I don't think Robotic;Notes has quite the same staff, but it does have the budget. I think the main question is if the story is adequate enough. The impression I am getting is that it isn't as "epic" as Steins;Gate in feeling, but time will tell.
