I'm not even sure where to start. This entire show is a roller coaster of emotions. Going from a slow start, to the brink of humanity. It starts out so innocent but ends up in a bloody mess as you travel through time with the infamous Okabe, and his lab members he acquires through time, showing their stories as we try to find out why certain events arise.
Honestly I can't say I've found any faults with the art-style, it's all very seamless and dripping with emotions. Everything has a purpose, and nothing is done to fall short of great. As to say the same for the sound. I watched the dub, opposed from the sub, and I must admit I loved the voice acting. In my opinion it fits the characters better, but they say whatever you're exposed to first sticks better.
But why exactly do I love this anime so damn much? It's because of Okabe. From the start he acts like a maniacal mad scientist with a touch of intellect to tone his words. But from what we encounter over time, he realizes his mistakes and corrects them, but never strays away from the "Hououin Kyouma" persona that he always tends to drift to. But his real struggles are the ones he starts, and finish. He accidentally built a time machine that leads him into a world of pain, and memories which he will never forget, but only he will remember. If we look at it from the rest of the lab members, Kurisu seems to be the best fit for him. She understands him the entire time and guides him without her even knowing what she's doing. The entire lab and their members have so much to atone for it's hard to express what I want to say. Just know that you're in for one hell of an emotional ride with this bunch.
Now where does this leave us. Well you have an extremely well thought out story with some very minor mishaps, that all seem to make a 360 toward the end. It's a fight that nobody has ever fought, and everyone has fought. I highly reccomend watching this anime. It's damn near perfect and definitely one of my favorite anime of all time.
