This is one of the greatest Time Travel stories ever told in any medium and not just in anime. Its thrilling, sad, funny, not the usual sort of Science Fiction you see nowadays. This anime is the adaptation of the 2009 visual of the same name. Yes, while adapting the visual novel which around 40-50hrs of playtime into 24 eps of anime is a really difficult task and White fox did an amazing job with that. Like obviously Time Travel in this is "hypothetical" but the way they explain and present is just amazing.
The most important part of this story are its characters specially the
...
main character "The Self-Proclaimed Mad Scientist Houonin Kyouma" Okabe Rintaro. and the main heroine Makise Kurisu who is a genius neuroscience researcher.
So i'm not the biggest fan of this art style as i liked the art of Visual Novel better. Still they did a good job with this too.
I really like the fact that they events that happened irl like John Titor, IBN 5100 (IBM 5100), SERN (CERN), LHC (Large Hadron collider), and actual hypothetical theories like Copenhagen interpretation in Quantum theory, World Lines, Butterfly Effect and many other things for the time travel done in the story.
Some say the start is slow and they drop it but its necessary for the plot because of the world building and characters to get attachted to them. And the pay off in the 2nd half is spectacular.
Its easily my favorite anime of all time and I highly recommend to watch it.
