This anime is an adaptation of the Steins;Gate Visual Novel, which I recommend you to try first before watching the show. Though, the show itself does a breathtaking job at introducing you into it's universe. From a cinematographic point of view, this show will offer you a nerdy relatable environment, realistic versions of common anime trope characters, thought provoking music, and millions of hidden layers such the chapter titles. The story is a massive emotional roller-coaster as the first half focuses on well thought out time travel lore, experimenting and enjoying the slice of life with your acquaintances. The second half of the show focuses on the consequences of playing god, visible confusion and desperation. The characters and their development is the best part about the series, in all honesty It gave me depression that I won't find such people in my life. Okabe is a character I relate to on many layers, one of them being is that he is just an ordinary student who tries to make his life interesting, but the consequences will break him. In the end he ultimately has the entire responsibility of setting things right even if it means to play god. He only has one special trope, other than that he is just another awkward nerd with his mind set on all sorts of things. He may be flawed, but he if he loves someone or something, he will try to perfect the bond in any manner possible. The first episode may be confusing for several viewers, but trust me, you will gradually get the hang of it. The show has most stereotypes you'd expect but it executes them flawlessly. Even the pacing is correct. Overall I am biased because I love this show but what here is a fact - that this show is definitely worth a shot. 10/10 possibly the best work of sci-fi/Time Travel I have ever read.

Too-Ta-Roo! This anime is number one on my list of top anime's next to Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin This anime was introduced to me through a picture of Makise drinking a Dr pepper and I asked is," that was from an anime?" Sure enough it was so i looked it up and saw that it was about time travel,wow actually getting deja vu about this, Anyways I started watching And I got intrigued more and got farther into the series soon enough [4 Hours later] I got to the ending parts They were so sad but romantic. I surly recommend this anime to everyone and give it a shot!El-Psy-Congroo

Nitroplus and .5pb have a great mind for creating such a good anime.Steins;Gate is one of the most unbelievable anime of the world. It makes you travel across the world lines(Sekai-Sen) even though you know that they do not exist in reality. The pretzel logic of time travel and alternate time lines coinciding with original world line makes it the best anime ever. Any user who gave low rating out there, or said that first episode is boring or said that unintelligent people inventing time machine is wrong. The show can given infinity out of ten, due to its immense concept in time-travel and it can be given low rating due to episode 22. But if there is no episode 22 there is no episode 23,23 beta ,24,25, Steins;Gate Movie:Fuka Ryouiki no Deja Vu and obviously no Steins Gate 0. Every loop-hole gets sealed showing why this incident has happened. We can even praise the voice actors(Japanese) Mamoru Miyano, Kana Hanazawa and others.Mamoru Miyano is one of the greatest voice actors even seen. His voice modification from Light Yagami(Death Note) to Okabe Rintarou(Steins;Gate) has given me goosebumps. I also request the Japanese people to improve their English speaking skills or (to the users) enjoy totally in the episodes 15 and 25. "Steins;Gate 0" I can hardly wait!!!

This show is one of the greatest series I've ever seen. Such a fascinating and engaging approach to the concept of time travel, fully humanized by the characters and plot to pull me in and take my breath away as it progresses.All of the characters have their own special quirks that left me caring for each, particularly the main friend group headed by Okabe Rintarou, the self-proclaimed mad scientist. I found myself quickly becoming entertained with these characters, feeling everything from happiness to depressive devastation as the story went along.The story began in a way that for many would be somewhat confusing and perhaps even hard to get into, but as it goes along and explains itself more you get the ropes of what's going on and become more immersed in the world. Unexpected turns occur throughout always leaving you wondering what will happen next, and often leave you with a strong emotional response. The captivating blend of sci-fi thriller with the dark and thoughtful undertones put this series on another level.A truly delightful experience in every sense. The characters and story alone make it well-worth the ride. But the implications it leaves for the concept of time travel add another layer of thought-provoking ideals to grapple with. Which makes it even more worth the experience in my opinion. All in all, one of my favorites without a doubt and a show I fell in love with very early on.
