Actually the story gets very complex at times and you may be lost for a moment or two, trying to figure out where you are and what is happening.

But the characters are so affectionate and so lovable that you won't have a problem sticking with it. That doesn't mean they don't have flaws, quite the opposite, which is what makes them feel so "real". The beginning episodes may feel a bit "boring" or at least not as exciting as the rest becomes, but you shouldn't have a big issue with that.

It really delivers on many levels, comedy wise, drama wise and thriller wise. It doesn't shy away from violence either. Though it's not a big part, when it happens you can feel the impact immediately. Weird, nerdy and uncomfortable at times, this really knows what it wants. Great anime show, that produced a couple of games and has way more to explore than just this TV show Was this review helpful?

Sign in to vote. Tweekums 24 September This is one of my favourite anime series of recent years; it features a good story, a great cast of characters as well as moments of both comedy and tragedy. Itaru "Daru" Hashida a computer hacker and Kurisu Makise a girl who died in the opening moments of the first episode but came back to life after one of his experiments assist him along with his old friend Mayuri Shiina. In the early episodes he sets about using the machine to improve the lives of his various friends but becomes aware that he has come to the attention of SERN and they want to stop his actions.

One day they find him and in a shocking moment one of his close friends is killed. He repeatedly tries to change the past to save her but whatever he does she dies. As stated before I really enjoyed this; I was quickly pulled into the story and eagerly looked forward to seeing each new episode. Rintaro was a great lead character as he was both funny and sympathetic and the rest of the group were fun to watch too. I had thought it was a comedy until the 'tragic moment' when I was genuinely shocked!

The animation style is more realistic than many anime series and a more subdued colour palette gives it a distinctive feel. I strongly recommend this series to fans of anime and science fiction alike and hope that it gets a DVD release here one day. These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles. I just binge-watched the whole series in a few days. It has one of the most compelling story arcs of any anime I've seen.

The early episodes are interesting but not exceptionally so, with an unstable protagonist, a schlub, and some idiot cosplay girl. But it's amusing, and various characters are added. The time travel story starts slowly, but this is necessary, and the series becomes incredibly compelling as the results of small time shifts create big problems. At times I got a little lost in the story, but the series does generally catch you up again, and while I would need to see some sort of elaborate diagram to see if this all holds together, in my mind it seems to.

The series is swimming in time paradox issues, and at times I think it's closer in spirit to fantasy than to sci fi, especially since there seems to be a rather unscientific concept of fate, but it's incredibly absorbing throughout, and the characters become surprising likable and nuanced as the series progresses.

Discovered anime late in life and was pretty much gobsmacked not only by the quality usually high but the variations. As with any other production most usually do one thing better than another, some have better art, some better scripts, some better voice actors, etc.

And then we have Steins Gate, pretty much a 1-of, where every aspect is well perfect. Yes, I know, a very controversial statement. I have seen anime fans say the same thing in chat groups, only to elicit responses of contempt, suggesting perhaps their parents never married.

But folks this is I think as good as it gets. Superb art. Super voice actors in Japanese of course, but after a while it doesn't matter. Characters so real you think you know them. And a story unlike any other. No crazy wars, no crazy magic, no crazy fantasy world, just a young man with delusions of being a mad scientist, with his own Scooby gang, who actually invents a time machine sort of and then has to stand by while his world comes apart.

This series is nothing less than extraordinary. And oh yeah I almost forgot. Especially for animee. Irishchatter 5 June I found the beginning very confusing. Like for me getting into a series,in the very begininng, I'd rather know what the hells going on and why the reason any type of situation is happening.

Steins gate was just rather complicated at first, although as I went on, it was getting to be better because you kinda know what mad scientist Okabe is up against. As well J Michael Tatum was good in his role as him also!

Steins gate does have likeable characters such as Okabe himself, the beautiful redhead he has a lover, Makise and Okabes hilarious friend Itaru. I was so glad that Okabe and Makise did kiss in this because they were adorable even if they were two different people with two different personalities. I loved how Itaru always was this sarcastic buck that just can come out with anything, seriously they need to get that guy a seperate new show from Steins gate, he'd just make you laugh so hard at times lol!

Steins gate was pretty ok but I wouldn't call this the best anime I've come across but I have to say the voice acting in English Dub, was pretty well done! This show is hilarious with fantastic characters and animation.

Unfortunately, I stopped watching after episode Not because it got bad, but because it was removed from Crunchyroll and I can't find anywhere to keep watching it. If you can find somewhere to watch it, then I'd highly recommend it. WeAreLive 31 December After watching all 24 episodes including 2 specials I must say I am very impressed. This might even be my new favourite anime.

I admit though it does take at least 11 episodes to understand what is happening and to keep up with the pace of things. Also, it did get very tedious at times but luckily not too much. In this review there maybe, spoilers ahead and if you don't want to get spoiled please leave my review and watch it yourself.

So, the story is about a young scientist by the name of Rintarou Okabe who finds a researcher called Kurisu Makise and then he enters a symposium for time then she alive and well. The researcher discovers ways they can send messages to each other in time, these are known as demails and they also discover sern sorry if I have spelt it wrong which is this organisation which wants to start WW3 with time travel in the future.

Every demail that gets sent cause more and more havoc on the present as they are jumping throw different world lines. Nobody remembers anything different from each world line but Okabe himself. That is all I am going to spoil from here.

Yeah, just from that paragraph is like the confusing part, and it does get tedious after that for a bit. Okay, just for up head spoilers Mayuri in the next world line dies and Okabe keeps on going back in time just to prevent her death. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but an entire episode was focused on that one thing but kept on having the same outcome. Okay,I promise there won't be any more spoilers from here. As an overall the whole series was good, this is just my first time getting into the franchise and I can't wait to watch the movie and the 0 series hopefully those should be good.

I liked majority of the episodes and the only one I didn't like was episode 19 as I felt that could have been handled much better then what it was. I watched most of the series dubbed as that's how I prefer to watch anime over subbed and original Japanese. I also watched one episode in Japanese and that was fairly good as well. If you want something to be doing with science and time travel I would high recommend this anime.

But, like I said it might be confusing at first but as you keep watch it would start piecing the puzzles for you. The future has infinite potential.. I am a bit mixed on why it has such a high rating. It was a sci fi anime and it was highly rated on MAL and those were the only two reasons why I decide to watch it because otherwise It didn't really grab my attention. The start is a bit confusing even me I felt like dropping it after the first episode because I didn't what was going on so you have to be a bit patient.

With half of the season being really slow though things start coming together really quickly and the pace starts picking up fast but in some cases there are some halts in between.

The light comedy adds a layer to the tone of the story though the tone can be slightly off at times. And there are some harem elements which I have no interest in the beginning of the series. The sound effects really add a extra layer of realism and immersion to the world. Though there is barely any music in any of the scenes but when there is music its great.

The directing is amazing thing really captivates the scenes. The visuals are pretty good though there are some uses of CG here and there and most scenes take in the same place. The characters are quiet stereotypical and shallow there isn't particularly unique about them and nothing bad about them either.

But they get some development as times goes on. I understand the high rating. No sci fi anime was ever well thought of and grounded as Stein's Gate which has a lot of creditability to real life scientific theories. But on the other note, the amount of plot holes and flaws it had just made it all fall into the mud.

To top it off even with it's flaws I was still surprisingly hooked and managed to finish it quiet quickly. Memorable: No Rewatchable: Quiet unlikely..

If you read the description on the DVD you could be excused for believing this was a very lite and trashy story. The trueth could not be more different, this story is astounding. Some claim the first half is too slow, but this is required in order to get you to boind with the characters. When the stakes are raised you can't help but sit on the edge of your seat hoping for a miracle.

Keep your tishues ready because this has some amazingly sad moments. Excellent music and suitable for children and non-science fiction viewers. I am really hangtingt out for the next instalment, Steins Gate 0. It is worth it. Just get past the first few episodes. Some people dropped it before it really gets good. The series does take a dramatic turn after the first 12 episodes but honestly if you weren't liking it up until that point then it's doubtful you would think much differently of it going forward anyway.

It might just not be your cup of tea. It's in my top five. So, pretty damn good. Want to talk? Every recommendation of Steins;Gate should come with an "It gets better after episode twelve, I promise! Also, I find it odd that you claim to find it so boring and yet you've given it an 8. Just because you know how to use a torrent does not give you the god given right to pirate.

None of the above Steins gate is amazing!!! U should definitely watch it. It's a good show but it's also somewhat overrated, considering it was 2nd place to Madoka for AOTY which I still believe is complete bullshit but oh well Maybe it just doesn't suit your palette?

It's perfectly normal to not like a popular or critically acclaimed show because of your tastes. It's pretty good. Takes itself too seriously though. If you watch it all in one go you will truly appreciate it. Just treat it like a SoL until the shit hits the fan. There is Steins Gate Game if you didnt understund story and become bored that can help you.

Sinonis I think I understood the story until ep 12, but it just didn't get my attention, I'll complete the anime and I'll give the game a try I hope it doesn't need high specs.

To be honest I do think that Steins;Gate is overrated, though I would still recommend that you finish the rest because raw statistical probability says you'll likely enjoy it. However, AnimeCritic said: AnimeHonor said: how do you not like stein's gate. Thread Moved. I just watched it, and I think even if it is considered overrated, rightly or not, I don't care! You get closer with the caracters and plot over time, and your feelings can't resist the pressure that gets on Okabe's shoulders!

I could guess further events at some point, but it did not affect in any way the great hours I've spent with Okabe and his friends.

Also, it is the first time travel story that didn't get me confused or messed up in the overall storyline. No one is forced to love this anime I do! AnimeCritic said: AnimeHonor said: how do you not like stein's gate.
