Steins;Gate

Fun fact: I received actual death threats for negatively reviewing this on MAL. That was how I learned that the anime fandom largely sucks, which is the only way I can explain the acclaim for this shit.

Looking back on it: this was definitely peak anime. How they made an intriguing and emotionally resonant story out of time travel with bananas is amazing, to say the least. Before watching this, be prepared to go all in with the world and the characters.

Liked Okabe’s over the top theatrics and Daru. Felt a little contained for a theme as grandiose as time travel. Didn’t like over exposure.

Tempo of the episodes goes higher as it goes on, so as I always suggest people, experience at least 20 percent of the media you want to consume before judging it and dropping it, and here the first 5/6 episodes are enough to catch you. But to be honest, like most anime series, idts the characters are compelling for every audience.

somewhat accurate month

it was interesting at first, but not much else. sooo much misogyny all the time. there's this trans character so thats cool. buttttt. theyre evil to her alll the time. she's always getting sexually assaulted by both the cis boys and girls. lore accurate trans girl experience i guess. that being said, the characters are decently compelling, and the plot is atleast ok (at first). bur towards the end the plot just gets downright boring and i just feels like we kinda lose the plot, idk.

Hope everyone find their steins gate.

I just couldn't get into it. Something about the pacing and the pretentiousness of the story bothered me. It takes itself a bit too seriously.
