Synopsis

Eccentric scientist Rintarou Okabe has a never-ending thirst for scientific exploration. Together with his ditzy but well-meaning friend Mayuri Shiina and his roommate Itaru Hashida, Okabe founds the Future Gadget Laboratory in the hopes of creating technological innovations that baffle the human psyche. Despite claims of grandeur, the only notable "gadget" the trio have created is a microwave that has the mystifying power to turn bananas into green goo.

However, when Okabe attends a conference on time travel, he experiences a series of strange events that lead him to believe that there is more to the "Phone Microwave" gadget than meets the eye. Apparently able to send text messages into the past using the microwave, Okabe dabbles further with the "time machine," attracting the ire and attention of the mysterious organization SERN.

Due to the novel discovery, Okabe and his friends find themselves in an ever-present danger. As he works to mitigate the damage his invention has caused to the timeline, Okabe fights a battle to not only save his loved ones but also to preserve his degrading sanity.

"Steins;Gate" isn't just a TV show; it's a mind-bending journey through time and the human psyche. Set in the bustling district of Akihabara, Tokyo, this anime series, adapted from the visual novel of the same name, delivers a narrative that's as intricate as it is emotionally resonant.

At its core, "Steins;Gate" follows the story of Rintarou Okabe, a self-proclaimed mad scientist, and his eccentric group of friends who accidentally discover the means to send messages to the past using a modified microwave. What begins as a quirky experiment quickly spirals into a gripping tale of consequences, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between cause and effect.

Mixed Feelings
TLDR: Interesting story idea, poorly written and bad execution. 6/10.

Style and Animation: Ok, nothing astounding. Character styling and world backgrounds were decent. For the animations, nothing too intricate, but there's probably a lot more moving still frames than one would noticed if they weren't distracted by the story.


Sounds and Voices: Decent soundtracks, they fit the series, but weren't overbearing that you would feel like it's out of place. Voices were fine, you could tell who was who and the voices felt appropriately chosen.


Character growth and Likeability: Could have been better. Male and female leads receive most of the series focus and end up being more ...

The story is basic, the art style is the same as most anime but less saturated, the male characters are gross and annoying, nobody has goals that I can relate to, and it takes way too long for any simple story beat to happen

Apparently this review need more words, but I'm not a professional reviewer so I think that's stupid, and don't want to waste your time with a whole essay essentially saying "I didn't like it" so instead I'll recommend some time travel stories that are better. Futurama. It's funny. I don't know why they're rebooting it though, it's such an early 2000s show. ...
