(Please read to the end of the review as the beginning is a bit misleading)
Honestly when i started this show i really hated it. I hated the pacing, characters and pretty much everything except the conspiracy theories and discovering the effects and limitations of altering time. i forced myself to continue watching because surely an anime in the top 5 would be amazing at least later on. so i kept telling myself that surely it'll get better soon.... And boy was i right!
around 12 episodes the whole show changes pace and feel and most of the characters change from being really annoying to really easy
...
to connect with and the shows pace speeds up a LOT. It changes from learn one key detail each episode to having a whole movies worth of content in each. when i got to episode 12 i switched from forcing myself to watch and episode or two in between other anime to literally watching half the series in one afternoon.
Basically (in my opinion) if you can make it through the first 12 episodes the later 12 will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you think to yourself "one more episode" after every single one.
Also as a side note I heavily recommend anyone who finishes the series to watch Steins;Gate: Oukoubakko no Poriomania as well. It's basically a bonus 25th episode that adds a bit more closure to the main series.
