What an outstanding series, That's all I can say. This is one of my top five favorite anime's (Clannad After Story, FMA brotherhood, Cowboy bebop, and Death note being my other favorite's.) I loved the storyline, characters, music, voice acting in both English and Japanese (Tho I like the Japanese version a bit more.) it's character development, Art style, comedy, drama, romance, action the list goes on!. Tho I will say you will have to be patient because like many people have said it does start of rather slow in the first 11 episodes. It's not bad or anything far from it but it's rather not as intense and as emotional as the second half is. But it works really well imo since it gives it a lot of time to bond with these characters and learn more about them. So when the second begins you will feel more emotionally involved with what happens to the characters. I loved all of them and felt kind of empty when the series ended. That is what you want in a Good TV show/movie or any other form of entertainment is too feel for the characters and this does a fantastic job. Every character who displays any form of emotion you will feel for them and understand where they are coming from. I Highly Recommend this to any Time Travel/SCI-FI fan and even to people who are not fans of anime.

Rintaro Okabe is a scientist who managed together with a group of friends to create a machine that can transport e-mails back in time in order to change the past, but discovers that only he can remember everything from that previous timeline. After doing a few experiments based on the wishes and dreams of him and his companions he realized that a mysterious evil organization has detected his time loops. Furthermore he later discovers that changing the past is not as safe as he thought.I really had to prepare myself for this show. I knew Steins;Gate was a sci-fi show of the 'time-travel' topic, but I also knew that this would be my very first show with Japanese audio, due to the limited options on Netflix. After a few episodes I got used to that, due to the well performed voice acting and I really have no regrets for that. What I truly appriciate about Steins;Gate is that the show is really self aware. The made up laws of physics in this show are shortly explained and they are complicated, yet they are very well thought trough. This is something many sci-fi entertainment with the time-travel topic fail at, but this show gets it right. However the best thing about this show is not about that or even the main plot. The show has rather a very slow start in settlement of the plot and it takes a while after where things really happen according to the main plot of the show.The main reason why I think Steins;Gate is brilliant are simply the characters. They truly drove the show for me, because their motives and interactions felt so real and understandable, that I fell in love with pretty much every single one of them. We have got Kurisu Makisa, an intelligent stubborn girl that wants to prove herself in the world of science, but what she needs is a person that truly cares about her. There is Daru, an engineer and super hacker. He is Okabe's right hand and he is a little bit obsessed in anime. Mayuri Shiina is a young gentle soul(and a dear friend to Rintaru Okabe) that wants nothing, but to care for her companions and seeing everyone happy. But my favourite character is Rintaru Okabe, the stylish scientist that wants to be a leader in his own way, as the mad scientist. He brought me joy, he made me laugh and he even made me cry several times in desperate times of the show. He is not only a character that brought relief in a rather serieus tone from the series. And when the show becomes serieus he is a character that is willing to risk everything he is got to safe the ones he loves. The pacing was so well done that I symphatised with him from the first till the last episode and like I said, he is not the only one.As I said in the title, I am not a big fan of anime, due to the rather low framerate(and Japanese audio) but that is not my biggest issue. It is mainly because the appearance of the personages is based on looks(especially on female characters) rather than personality, but that is just my personal opinion. I do however happen to love the artwork of the backgrounds and the show's atmosphere. Therefore the show really feels alive and lived in. Take a look at the city and the weather for once! It looks simply fantastic!All in all, I am really glad that I gave Steins;Gate a shot. After a few episodes the show took advantage of me, because I simply couldn't get enough watching what these characters will go trough in the next episode! I even watched the movie of Steins;Gate(9/10) afterwards: a sequel to the serie and it was definitely worth it. Steins;Gate was really worth my time. Like I said, It brought tears in my eyes, due to the sympathy I have for these characters. Therefore I highly recommend this show even for those people out there who are not into anime. Just give it a try!

Maybe this is the best anime in the world after "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood". Why? Because this anime has a very complicated story, a very epic dialogue, a plot-twist ending, and a very supportive seiyuu. Due to the very high rating, I will try to review this anime. By the way, this is my favorite anime. Also, I usually rewatched how many times because it gets boring."Steins;Gate" has an impression of a very slow plot. For people who are very unfamiliar with this anime will not be able to survive watching this anime. In episode 4-6, you probably will not understand the plot. But, you must be patient because maybe you will be very interested to watch it considering it's has a very high rating. Starting from episode 13, you will instantly get carried away due to its fast-growing plot, many explanations about a time machine, time shift, dystopia, and things to be explained very well. This is what makes this anime very interesting because the thriller side is very shocking and gripping. Perhaps, for those of you who love physics, I recommend this anime."Steins;Gate" has a very interesting visual because of it's very abstract, simple, and very simple graphics supporting the thriller and mystery genre of this anime. I don't know according to the people, but after reading the comments and reviews they judge the visual because it's very simple and not very interesting portrayal. For me, the graphic is very interesting. But, back from the perception of the people who watch it.Although this is an anime fiction and thriller, there's some comedy that will make you laugh. How not, Okarin, a mad genius scientist who has a chuunibyou (called "eighth-grader syndrome" in English) character or often fantasizes as a crazy professor makes Okarin very unique as the main protagonist. Mayuri who has a very childish but always help Okarin, Daru as a hacker and friend of Okarin, Kurisu who have the nature tsundere (a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time), and much more side-by-side characters.Mamoru Miyano, the voice of Okabe Rintarou character is a very genius in filling a voice in this character, remember in the anime, he always says "El Psy Congro" a slang to end the sentence while calling. Hana Kanazawa, who filled the voice of Shiina Mayuri had a similar slang like Okarin "~Tut Tu Ruu~" a slang for a 'hello' replacement when meeting his friend and saying it in a very cute tone. They are both my favorite seiyuu.Overall, if you are a fan of a sci-fi story, you might be interested to watch this anime. But, as I said, you have to be really patient and focused when watching this anime because few of you will be really fooled and don't understand the story.

I watched tons of anime, some great ones, a lot of bad ones. This one was mediocre, nothing special at all.First of all, this was my fourth attempt watching this show. The horrific and annoying dub of the horrific and annoying MC made it unbearable to watch. But I really wanted to give this high rated story a chance and watched it in German dub instead this time and he became a little less of an annoyance and i was able to finish somehow.Steins;Gate is definitely nothing I would be able to binge-watch, the story starts off really slow and it takes 5 episodes to actually make any plot-progress at all. The plot itself was more or less interesting, the entire time travel-thing and how everything affected the time line(s) were set up nicely and i wasn't able to find any obvious plot holes (i didn't really try to find some though). But having the characters play around with time travel just to reverse everything they've done after is rather frustrating to watch, even though it all makes sense in the end and serves a purpose. The ending itself (final 3 episodes) were probably the best part of the show as everything sums up and gets a proper explanation. Well and everyone ends up getting a happy end (hooray..).The art was not my cup of tea, that's my comment on that.The worst part of the show was the MC, whom I mentioned above. his design was lame and his character utterly annoying, all this mad scientist talk and the nicknames he gave everyone were probably indented to be funny, but they aren't, at all. The longer I kept watching, the more i wanted to turn off whenever he opened his mouth. The other characters have been rather one-dimensional besides Makise Kuris (only sane person) and the time-traveling girl. Everyone else felt kinda replaceable, likable though.I'd like to mention the opening as well, which I found really great, an extra star for that.6/10 because the story isn't even half-bad but the MC is awful, the art sub-par, the humour annoying and the storytelling slow.
