Story: 10/10
The anime starts off really slowly and for me, and I found it a bit complicated to understand. However, all of it made sense as the story progress. What I thought should have been done is some flashbacks on what happened in the future rather than it being told as a dialogue. It got my head spinning most of the time but that's what I liked about this anime. Steins;Gate makes you think, it gives you hint, but it breaks your predictions. There's lots of plot twists that made the anime unpredictable which is why it's not like any other anime out there.

This one is unique!
Art: 9/10
It's art is not the best but it works well with the dark vibes the anime gives out. I actually think that this art style suits this anime a lot more than the art style in the manga.
Sound: 10/10
The OSTs got me so excited everytime I watch each episode. There were also the use of silence which inevitably tensed the scenes which made my heart beating so fast or my soul wanting to scream out.
Character: 9/10
The character Okabe is made very well and likeable with his crazy English(I do wonder at times on how he learnt them). I liked how he changed into being serious when things go wrong. The story revolves around him so he surely have the best character development compared to others.
Kurisu was introduced as one of those cliché characters, the cool type, genius, pretty and mysterious. But her being a tsundere made her more enjoyable to watch. She and Okabe are like cats and dogs and watching their arguments was pleasurable.
Mayushi on the other hand for me is an annoying character. I didn't like how she spoke childishly and moe-like. I don't mean to hate that kind of character because I found Feyris adorable. But that was my first impression on the character Mayushi and she did became more likeable towards the end. (I cried... continuously). I also thought that she would become a character that will surprise us due to how she was introduced.
Another character that didn't give me a great first impression was Daru. He's a... 'fat otaku. Of course, with that description, the word 'pervert' comes in as a bundle. But then again, as the story goes on, he became a lot more likeable and his perverted jokes made me laugh a lot. Also the writer gave him a 'plot twist' that in my opinion was predictable but greatly portrayed. Daru's character could have been improved if he changed even a little bit throughout the anime. Maybe a little more serious?
Ruka- Well, 'this person' you could say is the prettiest in the anime. 'This person' had very short appearances and little affect on the plot.
Moeka- As far as I know, a lot of people hate her but I don't because I understand her situation and I hope that when you watch this, you will do too.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Steins;Gate is full of jokes, suspense and drama. I can tell you that I cried watching it each episode. All the cliff hangers seduces me into clicking the next episode. I'm always left with wanting to watch more and so, I ended up staying all night just to finish. It's that kind of addiction. It was a very enjoyable anime to watch and I recommend it to EVERYONE.
Overall: 10/10
Full marks and this is now one of my favourite anime of all time. I will watch this again in the future, perhaps on the year 2036 :D
I initially wanted to write a short review but because I had a lot to say, it ended up this long. Well, this is my first long review so it will not be as good as other reviewers.
