First and foremost, if you're reading these reviews in search of an awnser to that typical question "Is it worth it?", it is.
This is the story of Okabe, who rolls, unrolls and messes with timelines, starting with nothing more than a microwave that can send text messages to the past.
Succeeding in almost every single aspect, Steins;Gate will slowly win you piece by piece into the amazing and interesting storyline, so interesting that at every given moment you feel like the anime could easily fall to a complete disaster. Proving itself a masterpiece, it simply doesn't let it happen.
How can an anime about time travel
...
be this good?
Story: 10
Everyone knows that a story with a complex plot will probably stop being interesting after a few episodes ,steins gate however is diferent, simply being ever growing in terms of complexity, managing to be quite easy to comprehend, giving you a feeling of fullfillment and enjoyment at that.
You can almost feel the enjoyment the author (Kenji Mizuta) had when writting this down.
Proving flawless in a category where failing is so easy and enhancing that dificulty with the cheer amount of references, this story clearly deserves this 10.
Art: 7
Although rarely explored, the best adjectif i could find to define the art was, "satisfactory", due to being good enough to fit the style of the anime but not enough to impress anyone.
The art really won't affect your opinion on the anime.
Sound: 10
Heartwarming and heartbreaking. Played with the perfect timing, soundtracks can't enhance your experience more than this.
But don't expect songs to be thrown at you, there are enough beautifull ost's to make your ears and eyes droll, however, these will only be played at the right scene and some are only played 2 or 3 times the whole anime.
Soundtracks, sound effects and voice acting at its finest.
Check the ost's out, even if you haven't watched the anime.
An outstanding 10.
Character: 10
The story focuses on the main character, Okabe, a charismatic fellow that called himself a mad scientist and pretended to be a "mad scientist", his introduction is quite fast. I could go on and on explaining every single trait of his, but to be honest every secondary character is just as interesting and deep, though the spotlight manages to stay in the main character.
10,10,10 and 10.
Enjoyment: 10
You're watching anime to have fun, to be interested in what you're watching
right?
Well this anime succeeds in both extremelly well wilst doing so much more.
You can actually feel the enjoyment the author (Kenji Mizuta) had when writting this down.
Overall: 9
You could classify Steins;Gate as "that homework papel that ended up wining the nobel prize" and i seriously hope that future animes follow this anime as a guideline on how to make an anime(though that will be a very risky task).

If you're looking for something worth watching, give this a try.
Project K fails to reach higher because it succeeds in its purpose, it succeeds in a story driven anime although having the perfect environment to create such a masterpiece had it been more battle driven or atleast balanced in both terms.
I do promise it gets better with each episode tho.
Getting straight to the review:
Story: 6
(resuming) K tells the story of a young boy who got involved in a "war" between 7 kings with super powers. He discovers his identity not to be as his memories tell.
Standing amazing in terms of creativity and tasty
...
twitsts, the main story doesnt fall too far behind. I see it mediocre in terms of both conclusion and beggining, understanding of course that it has both an open "start" and "end" to it, it really doesn't develop as much as it "promisses", having a slow almost "boring like" progression. It mainly falls from a given 9 due to its utmost disapointing lack of propper organization or explanation endwise and almost uninsteresting progression rate.
Art: 10
Absolutelly amazing environment, theme, colour and detail, not to forget the animations that simply leave you drolling, Everything seems alive.
GoHands did it's job, congratulations on a well deserved 10.
Sound: 9
The opening and ending themes are proper, contrary to what others have said i actually thought both songs fit it's videos; the soundtracks however where good and amazing. Sound effects are good, just not good enough for a 10.
Mikio Endō made a very good job with the sound, expecially the soundtracks.
Character: 5
Yashiro, the main character, is truly "introduced" and presented in a very intelligent and interesting way: first you will meet his true heart, held by a semi-untrue personality (unknown untill certain point) by following this character's daily life at school and even after entering the main story, as the story progresses, at a certain point, when met with his real past, you will meet the real characters personality and easily bond with him. The secondary characters however, having only around 1 or 2 actually being averagelly presented, the rest of them are actually left almost "unknown" where the author kind of makes you interested in the actually coolest and best characters but disapoints you in never actually meeting them.
In terms of depht and compexity most characters are actually average.
This is one of the things that hold the anime back... if you're goint to have a story driven anime, try not the have 2 or 3... or 4 guys have similar personalities... and please dont throw random "hints" if you're not actually going to either mention or show us more of it.
Enjoyment: 6
I had fun watching, though you wont really be THAT interested in watching the next episode, which is in my opinion, a necessity to every anime.
Overall: 7
Somehow disapointing on how such important details like powers, environment (i mean the whole world or perhaps the city itself) and characters are unexploited. You will see yourself wanting to see more of what isn't going to be shown throughout these 13 episodes.
Such adjective wouldn't be better, its "good". Its one of those simple animes that end up being "typical" and common, yet somehow stands out from most.
