Reverb_Shock said: In my opinion, no there isn't. It's my favorite anime. However, there is no such thing as being the best anime, so in other people's eyes, yes there are anime better than Steins;Gate. |

tsudecimo said: daedroth4 said: No, I don't think so. From how time travel is used to enhance the narrative Madoka's time trave [.....] Are you seriously gonna claim that Mayuri is a plot device, when the MC of Madoka is the biggest plot device of all time? . Also nice spoilers. Whoops. But yes, I'm claiming that Mayuri is a plot device and Madoka is not. Two reasons: |
| A couple of hundred. |

JD2411 said: yes there are better anime and imo steins gate shouldn't be in the top 10 But Fairy Tail should. Am I right or am I right? Sorry, I had to. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| the actual answer doesnt exist as different people will enjoy it to different varying degrees, something may top it for some and others it reigns supreme RLinksoul said: the first 12 episodes are perfectly fine and enjoyable, shows still just a 8 to me and i can think of many shows i personally enjoyed way more.If you're someone who actually enjoyed the first ten or so episodes of Steins;Gate then It'd be hard to name anything you'd consider better. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

I agree. |
| There just isn't a real answer because it all boils down to people's subjective opinion. Steins;Gate remains the highest rated anime on my list, but I haven't exactly watched a whole lot of anime so far. |
RLinksoul said: I was bored through most of the first half and the godawful harem episodes in the second half.Opinions and tastes. If you're someone who actually enjoyed the first ten or so episodes of Steins;Gate then It'd be hard to name anything you'd consider better. But if you're someone who was dying of boredom waiting for the show to go somewhere, anything that is enjoyable the entire run would be considered better. I also have the opinion that Guilty Crown was immensely enjoyable the whole way through. Guess which one I liked better? |

| Yes, it's called K-On. |

SeibaaHomu said: RedRoseFring said: Well maybe you should stop throwing around terms that you don't know the meaning of. You've basically come out and admitted that the show was literally too deep for you. More to the point that's not even what Madoka is. The show never once tried to tear apart and analyse the different tropes in magical girl anime. In fact, it's so far removed from those tropes that it shouldn't even belong in the same genre.I already said Madoka is a "deconstruction of the magical girl genre" (whatever that's supposed to mean), so of course it's more than just a time travel story. Of course, with dark and edgy being the current trend, its popularity is no surprise. I don't like Madoka because it's dark. I like it because it's good. All of my friends who I showed Madoka to didn't like it because it made them want to slit their wrists or else they would have loved Mirai Nikki too. Speaking of which, Mirai Nikki is way more dark and edgy than Madoka so that means it's way more popular right? Right?.Wow. My sarcasm apparently was 2deep4u. And yes, Mirai Nikki is generally more popular than Madoka because of Yuno. |

I think there are many better shows out there, such as Madoka which is a show that SG gets compared to a lot but can't match up to in quality. RedRoseFring said: skyzblue said: Let's look at the critically acclaimed anime series in 2011: Anohana, Usagi drop, Madoka Magica, Steins Gate, Mawaru penguindrum.. If I would rank them in order of merit: Mawaru penguindrum Madoka magica Usagi drop Steins gate Anohana.. Steins gate wasn't even the best of 2011, let alone of all time.. Steins gate pulled off a much better time travel story than Madoka. In fact, Steins;gate is everything Madoka hoped to be. No, I don't think so. From how time travel is used to enhance the narrative Madoka's time travel is far better than Steins;Gate. For example, And "Steins;gate is everything Madoka hoped to be"? I think that's a statement that deserves to be elaborated on. |

| 'Course, but there are countless more that are worse than Steins;Gate. It was a great anime but definitely not the best. Despite how good it was, it's flaws were so obvious that they sorta stared you in the face. |

| Yeah...IMO all the ones I rated better than 4/10 |

| It's pretty awesome, but not even close to the best. |
 |
| Anything I've rated higher than an 8/10. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
