"The universe has a beginning, but no end." Steins;Gate is a masterpiece that explores the concept of time. Highly recommend this for anime neophytes and experts alike. The dialogue and humor are intelligent and abundant. The show perfectly blends comedy, drama, and mystery. Unlike some of the more Shonen (a.k.a. youth) animes, the characters here aren't overexaggerated and go a little lighter on some of the classic anime character tropes. Follow the "mad scientist" Hououin Kyouma, as he and the other members of the Future Gadget Laboratory create a device that has the potential to change the world. Expect lots of twists, turns and unforeseen consequences. The logic of the show is really well thought out and explored for us viewers. Everyone should give this show a full watch, regardless of their opinions on anime. The story is just that good.

While I'll be reviewing them separately, if you like Steins;Gate, there are a few other things you should watch after. I've listed them below in chronological order. However, Steins;Gate first timers should watch: (1) Steins;Gate in full; (2) Alternate Episode 23β; (3) Steins;Gate 0 in full; (4) Egoistic Poriomania; and (5) The Movie. If that isn't enough, there are a few other OVAs you can check out between Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0. Trakt has most of them in the specials section.

(1) Steins;Gate (Episode 1-22)
(2) Steins;Gate: Open the Missing Link – Divide By Zero (Episode 23β)
(3) Steins;Gate 0
(4) Steins;Gate: (Episode 23-24)
(5) Stens;Gate: Egoistic Poriomania
(6) Steins;Gate Movie: Load Region of Déjà vu

Tutturu!

9/10 (REAL RATING TBA)
