Following the advice, good job! :3
Even among the biggest fans there are two groups: those, who liked it from the start(I'm in it, personally) and those, who liked from the second half, there are even ones who dropped it at first.
But I'm agree with Junchi. I've been talking about it from the first appearance in this topic.

I remember when Steins;Gate was barely over 7.1 and now it's at 9.16... Good times, good times. For me, the story really picked up around Episode 5, because they set in place the framework that would carry the story for the next 19 episodes. I'm not saying the episodes before that weren't great, but they didn't get the ball rolling for me, and to be honest, I'm one of the people who dropped it at first.

Well, not dropped, but I put it on hold for an extended period of time because I didn't understand the first episode AT ALL. I picked it up a couple of months later, around late July of last year, and for some reason, everything just clicked. Now its a ten. I'll definitely get around to reading the VN one of these days.

Also, to people who think

Don't want to spoil the Visual Novel, so if you feel like it...
VN spoiler:

But this theory is incorrect anyways, as I told earlier, even in Anime Okabe said
In VN was examples of it. In Ruka's end for example:

who doesnt fall for timemachine plots

I actually have a hard time with this anime because in the end. I think the end ruined the magic and killed the overall mood for me.

I watched the whole anime in 1-2 days so i didn't even notice an episode being ''boring''.

Problem was the 1rst episode.

I started watching Steins gate then it first aired. It didn't give me any interest to continue cause it was soo confusing (now later i rewatched it and understood everything) so i quit it.

But after reading so many recommending comments and all the 10's people have given to it, i continued. And Loved it. Just amazing. Like a true masterpiece :) Anime with a story, meaning, not one of those stupid just-for-fun animes. No. Same good as reading a book : ) true 10 points.

I didn't love it, but I did really enjoy it. It has a slow start up with some luls near the end but the ending kinda justified those moments. It was a really surprising plot that I in no way expected. It stayed very small in terms of the physical location. Which wasn't bad, just different from what I thought would happen. It's definitely a solid 9/10.

A strange series. At first I find characters somewhat interesting, if the plot is a bit slow. Then it got quite interesting yet quickly descended into predictable territory (in a sense, it set a good expectation but is unable to outdo itself).

There are hints of its game pedigree, where you go 'aha I see how this would work in a game'. One of the initial hunch was its teasing of concepts yet disappointingly skirts around the meat of them. Just like its 'pseudo-scientific' explanations and tidbits of info (be it about computers, time travel theories) that ironically is fairly chuunibyou, just like the main character. Unfortunately the hunch became the series where a truly clever plot went missing and you get served the predictable pie stuffed with convenient exit-clauses that contradicts its earlier premise.

You cannot fault the show for it's production value, though for a show with just a handful of central themes, it only managed to thread the water. 24 episodes is way to long to get couple points across. The horse was dead, and has been beaten to a pulp.

It basically does everything right.

Genuinely intriguing story with lots of interesting plot twists, comedy that's legitimately funny, romance that's heartwarming and not cheesy, memorable characters, great animation and sound...you name it, and Steins;Gate has it.

love everything about it! but most specifically the voice acting of Miyano Mamoru.. so much raw emotion and belivability in Okarin's character

i thought it dragged a little bit in the beginning, but that just lead to a better and more dramatic end, i love time traveling, but at the same time i hate it, it is very interesting and i thought the characters really grew on me

I loved this anime(or visual novel, i liked the vn better) for its story and plot.

There is one thing i found highly disagreeable with the story though. I know the anime is supposedly there for the anime audience and its plot has a higher priority than objectivity of facts, but i really did not like the parts where mayushi dies and okabe is unable to do anything despite going back in time using team leap -

1) Causes and events are not supposed to have a human factor in them - If the event is mayushi's death, then there's no way she's going to die if the cause(murder) is removed. In the visual novel, it shows that even though the rounders did not come, she still died because the "world wished her to die" . This i cannot accept. I do not accept the universe which is able to decide "yes she must die no matter what". How does a universe recognize a single human's death like that? Then again, its pointless to ask such questions, we will never know what happens when causes are removed and whether paradox exists.

Such a plot hole can easily be solved if okarin used a D-mail instead of Time leap. Because D-mails change "divergence", okarin comes to a new world so such possibilities such as mayushi suddenly dying without any reason("because of fate") might exist. However, he used time leap and tried to save her. In every such situation, events differed, thus realistically it should have been another branch of alpha world. However, the anime(or visual novel) never said thus, there were in the same branch, mayuri kept dying because of some silly thing called "will of the world". The world lines are also completely based upon okabe's subjectivity which is absurd but is suitable for the anime.

but i suppose that sort of thing is normal, its a anime after all, not the real world. The real world doesn't care about who lives or dies and is not based on that

I loved this anime because I'm a sucker for time machine type plots. Steins gate came with amazing characters and a great story. Most of what was done IMO was great.

However opinions will differ and people have different taste in things they like. Just because someone hates this anime doesn't mean they have bad taste or anything.

I really did love this show. One of the things I liked most was the character design. Most animes have very unrealistic characters or characters who almost don't seem human [no offense to anyone, but it's true. people aren't robots who always do things for a reason, yet that's what happens in most shows]. People don't cry when they're supposed to, people hate each other for no apparent reason, just things typical of most animes. But I didn't get that impression from this one. Okabe is a very unique person and I know people like him in real life, so it's not like his otaku over being a mad scientist was anything special to me. At least, that's my opinion.

That being said, I think it's one of those shows that you either love or hate. Though it seems many people like it, that doesn't always mean it's good. So I'm not going to go out and say it's a masterpiece or anything like that. I like it.

And so I've began a second viewing of this anime, and it's pretty interesting to see how the story plays out when you're able to focus more on the details. It seems shallow on the surface, especially when you're watching it the first time, and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. In the end, I loved it.



To me, it's a good show. Good art, good characters, good acting, good plot, good music, good taste overall. I think I'll be watching it a number of times over before I finally get bored of it.

I Like This Anime Because Of The Story. Pretty Well-Made Which All Of The Episode Made Sense. :D




You're Being A Fanboy Yourself And Looks Like You're Looking For A War.

You're an expert my friend...

Don't mind the haters I bet they're just some random moefags

I don't.

If it would skip the tsundere-personality and comedy, it would be great. Its time-skipping premise gets distracted by that.

Then it wouldn't be a complete story as many of the characters would not be fully portrayed. Without the characters the drama around the time traveling would be meaningless.

Is there a "I loved everything except Mayuri" option?
