Initial Anime Review: Steins;Gate

*This review has been updated. Click here for final impressions: "Steins;Gate Final Impressions"

El Psy Congroo!


The famous sentence always mentioned. I'm going to talk about a new anime here, called "Steins;Gate". From the popular XBOX 360 and PC game, this new anime is sure to get viewers as well!


Life in Akihabara starts off with Rintarō Okabe, the protagonist of Steins;Gate (Of course, he invented the name Steins;Gate), who claims to be a mad scientist (trust me, he really acts like one) and goes under the alias Kyōma Hōōin. The female characters is Makise Kurisu, a neuroscience researcher and Mayuri Shiina, Rinataro's childhood friend. Also in the anime is Hashida Itaru, a super hacker in both hardware and software.

Things actually, don't go off to a good start. Honestly, i found the first episode very unappealing. (Probably explains why UTW Subs dropped the subs for the anime after the first episode only...).  The way it presented itself would probably deter anybody, due to the mad scientist/irrational thinking part.



However, don't be fooled! Normally high-plot animes are always like that, confusing. But after episode 1, it gets really good.

The plot is about time-travel. Set in the summer of 2010, the story sets on the discovery of a microwave time machine, where the protagonist travels back and forth in time to alter what has happened in the future.

Steins;Gate is being subbed by Commie, Steins;Sub and Doki.
It is currently going to show Episode 4. Steins;Gate has 24 episodes, premiering from April 6 to September 9

Not to spoil the plot for you, i'm not going to explain everything. In these sort of anime, you have to watch the exact details of what has happened. Very much like To-Aru Majutsu no Index II.



See you in the future!
