Story: 8/10
Steins Gate is about the emotional outcomes that occur due to the actions from our main character (the mad scientist, Okabe). This anime not only shows how a human can be powerless in certain situations, but how the one specific action can create various effects. Steins Gate also shows how determination can achieve the goals wanted. Most of the anime is about character development and how they go through different hardships to get to their final states. It brings a lot of emotional feelings into the anime through romance between the main characters.
Steins Gate also has many side stories with different supporting characters.
...
They, not only have separate personalities, but were given indepth background. It allows the viewer to not only feel for the main characters, but for the supporting characters as well (which does not happen often).
Steins Gate focuses much on the science aspect of the 'microwave' created and how it can affect the general world. One down side (in my opinion) is how the plot line gets a bit boring and dull as the anime goes forward; however, the few ending episodes make up for most of that. The anime certainly doesn't feel rushed and it does show all the personalities of each character.
Art: 8/10
I loved the art because the characters actually showed their emotions most of the times. It not only showed their happiness, but their sadness during critical points of the anime.
However, the characters usually dress the same (except for one or two episodes). This is probably one downside of it.
Sound: 9/10
I loved the music of Steins Gate. The opening and ending themes were sung well! The emotional soundtracks given during the depressing times were also broadcasted well. It made the viewer feel more emotional and 'into' the moment of the anime.
Character: 9/10
I loved how the various characters of Steins Gate have different personalities and how each of them thought differently. Obake, that is the mad scientist, really showed his personality well throughout the anime. It also showed how he develops as a person as a whole through the different people he meets as the story goes on.
I also loved how even the side supporting characters' personalities were shown well. It not only gave life in each of the characters, but also allowed the viewer to feel the moment during the encounters they make with the main character.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I enjoyed the anime because of the great character development and how the main character progresses into the person he is. It not only shows his hardships, but how he tries to manage his situation during each episode. It allows the viewer to see everything in his point of view through a span of a few episodes.
Overall: 9/10
I loved the anime. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romance stories and thrillers, because everything starts unraveling in the middle of the series.
