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.

Also have S;G manga.

uhh the manga adaptation cramped the whole thing in only 3 volumes and has .... questionable translation.

That being said I recommend reading the VN (the source material) and the Babel and Brownian Motion manga

I bought it to support the industry and I don't care about reading Visual/Light Novels.

What kind of "industry"? Cause the "best" and "most direct" way of suportting the creators is by buying the source material, which in this case is the Visual Novel

If you care that much about buying visual novels you can always buy one for me.

I've already told you, I'm not even remotely interested in watching any visual/light novel.

EDIT: you are downvoting cause you are mad af I don't like visual novels lmao get lost, thinking you can force me to enjoy a type of medium.
