I can't really put my thoughts about this show into words, but I can say this: do NOT drop this show before the halfway point. This show has a slow start, but it pays off marvelously.
The story was- simply put- amazing. I've never seen time travel depicted in such a digestible fashion. Somehow, it all makes sense. The rules are clear-cut and easy to follow. For the most part, the time travel logic is great, however, I did notice a problem near the end.
The presentation was mystifying. The stylistic choices made with the art and sound design (paired with the amazing story) helped immerse the viewer in Okabe's stumbling through time.
I'm kind of left without words after finishing the show. I thought this was going to be another overrated so-called classic anime, but no, it really is deserving its rating on MAL. Much respect to this show's creators, and of course, the writer of the original work. And now, I guess there really isn't much else to say.
Do yourself a favor and watch this show.
