Whoa boy, or should I say Too-Too-Roo? I'm gonna keep this spoiler free like all my anime reviews, but this specific one is like Fight Club. I probably should not talk about it at all. Add to the fact that this is an anime of Mind Fuckery Level that manages to divide by zero and my job becomes that much more difficult.
But I'll do my best to overcome this obstacle anyway.
Steins Gate is a fantastic Anime that covers its bases superbly. As a writer, glaring plot holes annoy me to no end, and while it is not perfect in this regard, any inconsistencies and head scratchers are either part of the appeal of the anime or little enough to not interfere with the overall narrative.
Speaking of narrative, this is where Steins Gate is strongest. With a lovable cast that gets incredibly fleshed out over twenty-four episodes, the appeal lasts from beginning to end. The characters are really what makes Steins Gate so incredible. You care about these people and the anime does a great job of making them endearing from the very first episode.
Even if the beginning seems to be really confusing, this is an Anime that is certainly worth watching, probably multiple times so that it is properly understood. There is a lot to appreciate with Steins Gate, and for those who like to think about what they watch, this should be on the list of must watch.
But finally, for all those who want to see The Mad Scientist as the hero, look no further than Steins Gate.
Too Too Roo!
