Steins Gate

About time for an anime review. Steins gate had been a very 'long' anime for me, given its ridiculously non-sensical front episodes and still continues being draggy right after. Only about like episode 9 or so, it then starts to get on track and interesting things began hoping in. Despite the downcomings, it still manages to give us audience a satsifying experience throughout. However, that will only come in later episodes. The show itself also is accompanied by fun characters. Every single one of them has their own unique feature that differentiates them from the norm, in terms that it makes us want to remember them! Released on April 2011, a total of 24 episodes and 1 ova episode.

Rating: 8.2/10

Okabe Rintarou is a self-proclaimed 'mad scientist' who calls himself Hyouinn Kyouma all the time. He has his own lab(his house) and lab members(his friends), which he think serves to act against the evil organisation(self-proclaimed) and thus change the world. He and his friend Daru unintentionally created an oven(time machine) able to send messages to the past. As they venture deeper into their invention, they trampled upon an actual organisation that is indeed into time machines and worse still now the organisation are after them and their oven. In order to stop this, they must leap through time and find solutions. Can they do it on time before its too late? Watch and learn~

Pardon me for saying this, but this show seriously starts off horrible! Not a shit was told of anything in the 1st episode, i was even trying my best to understand the fuck they are talking about but in the end no balls were caught. This moves on for a few episodes, you can notice the episodes going in sequence but you will NOT understand what is exactly going on. Things also do get draggy at times, something that i seriously dread watching.

Thank god the rest of the show went fine and manages to pull me back in. One thing i really like about this anime is the mindblowing moments. Moments that the protagonist faced, the critical decisions he have to make. Its mindblowing for him, but its pure satisfaction for us audience to watch! However, you must first endure the shit in front. Stein gate characters are a ton of fun to watch, they all have their own unique features that makes them stand out from the rest. For example, a girl who always says her quote whenever she meet anyone or a fat geek who always say perverted stuff in a flat tone etc.

Opening song is 'Hacking to the gate' by Itou Kanako. Pretty twisted song suited for a such a twisted anime. I am also beginning to like kanako's voice, its kind of different from those feminine girly voices. MOAR!!!!!
