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.

There's a part of me that rates really good anime 10.
But another part of me says that the ones who truly deserve it are the stuff that i can remember years later and still feel excited
The true masterpieces that don't solely rely on fancy animations or fight scenes to stand out.

The absolute pinnacle of story telling.

That's what Steins;Gate is.

If you love great storytelling, banger songs and compelling mysteries, you'll love this.
If you love neither of these, you'll still love this. I dropped this for more than an year at around 10 or so episodes, decided to randomly pick it back up and was the ...

Steins;Gate is a solidly produced anime that starts up a bit slow, but ramps up in its second half.
The story is predictable but the character relations make it work pretty well, with emotional payoffs at the right times.
Viewers who aren't accustomed to the usual time travel tropes can even get some extra enjoyment out of the show, since they might be surprised by most or all of the plot twists.

If you don't set your expectations too high before going in and find carthatic emotional payoffs more satisfying than a stringent plot development you will be in for quite a good time.

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. ...
