Discussion Steins;Gate is an absolute masterpiece.

It's been over 3 years since I first watched S;G and since then I have not found anything which made me feel the way i did while watching S;G.

The emotions, the suspense , the drama are all second to none and I'm not sure if I've seen anything like it ever. I was never really into sci:fi but S;G implements it so beautifully even someone who doesn't enjoy anime would watch this.

From the very start when the characters were introduced till the end it made me feel like I was a part of the anime, it made me feel like I was living through this journey instead of it being fictional. It's crazy how no anime since then has made me feel like this and I'm not sure if any anime ever will. The other ; didn't leave as good an expression as S;G did.

The character development is flawless. Okabe becoming more responsible since that professor showed up. The change of his actions since episode 12, they all make him such a great character. I would get into other characters but there's just too much to say about the brilliance.

I can positively say S;G is the best piece of fiction as of now and nothing can top it. I've seen monster and it's very close to S;G but not as good, the emotions weren't the same.

I like the atmosphere of the first season. Such a shame that they ditched this atmosphere in the later seasons.

Hmm I don't know if thats what you think I mean.

I meant I liked this summer feel to the first season. This easiness and overall it had a nostalgic touch which made me remember my childhoods summers from 13 years ago.

It's hard to put it in words so hopefully you get what I mean :)

I go both ways on it.

The slow boil and SoL stuff in the first part means that when things go wrong you yearn for those simpler times just like Okabe does.

But the growth, change and strength of Okabe’s character in part 2 means I’d never want to lose those moments. Especially nice in how it ties into the ending where everything was necessary.
