one of the greatest animes ever
Steins;Gate is a very compelling story and yes it does start out a little slow but it is this development that makes the climax of the series so enthralling. Funimation did a great job dubbing this show to the point that it is even comparable to the Japanese which is also spectacular. The blu-ray looks wonderful. The dvd's are nothing to scoff at either. As for the special features they were lacking as basically they were commentary and a map, which in the blu-ray version is interactive. The commentary itself is almost as entertaining as the episodes they're superimposed on, in other words they're great. If you are a time travel fanatic then this is a must have. If you like anime in general this show is amazing.
Groundhog Day meets Terminator
Steins; Gate is a truly original Anime. OK, no story is ever TRULY original now, I know, but the mix included here is.
The first bunch of episodes are happy go lucky, in a fun sort of way. Okabe is a mad scientist trying to build a time machine to fight against the "establishment." Along for the ride are his friends Mayuri and Haru. When he finds a dead girl at a convention, only to later that day be told he never went to the convention, we realize something is going on. Then when he meets the same girl at a different lecture, we know for sure something's up. As the story progresses we add more female characters (it's not a harem show, I promise!) and a LOT more drama. And they change the past (well, change the past, that changes the future...) with a MICROWAVE and email/text messages!
By the end of the first part of Steins; Gate things have gone terribly wrong, with Okabe fighting to retain his sanity and save dear friend.
Based on a "graphic novel"...
One of The Best Animes of the Decade.
This show has one of the best plot's for an anime that I have ever seen. The voice acting is amazing and the humor is superb. I have recommended this show to all my friends who have gone on to only say other good things about it. The show starts out with a lght sense of humor and a great cast and by the second half the show becomes increasingy dark when problems arise as the main character Rintarou creates a time machine accidently which leads him to mess around with time trying to figure out how it works which causes problems that he must undo to save his loved ones.
