Ahhh what can I say about Steins;Gate? Although I literally just finished it after drying up some tears (yeah, I'm a crier!), I can whole-heartedly say that this was one of my, if not, FAVORITE anime of all time. The storyline focuses on the idea of time-traveling and, although the topic at hand is fascinating, this anime handles it on a more emotional level. Steins;Gate displays the consequences and risks of what it means to travel in time: disappearance of memories, a person never meeting the other, events are re-written... and sometimes even fully changed. The show truly grasps the many emotional conflicts that can
...
arise when one is given the choice to travel in time and change the past.
Even though the show is primarily a science fiction anime, there are many genres that can apply to Steins;Gate: slice of life, tragedy, suspense/thriller, romance... it's an anime that appeals to anyone's personal tastes! Although, if you don't like insane plot twists, having your heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and having your mind confused, well...this isn't the right anime for you. The characters are very well-developed and well-liked, and their motives are clear and relatable. During my viewing of this anime, I haven't come across a single character I didn't like, which is SUPER rare.
All in all, I really enjoyed watching this anime, no matter how many times I've cried. It's a very memorable anime and I think people should DEFINITELY put it in their watch lists if they haven't already!
