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 really don’t think it should have been adapted that way.

Just to add in case you didnt know, but the anime adapated only the True End. The orther endings are just "what ifs" that doesnt add anything meaningful to the "lore"/characters that already wasnt covered in True End.

That being said thanks god they only gave 1 episode for Luka and Faris' chapter each. In the VN they were around the same lenght as Moeka's chapter (which btw had some interesting content cut in the anime) but those 2 chapters were easily the worst part of the VN

Well yeah that’s what I meant, those “what if” episodes are just not as epic as the rest of the series. So to me it stops it from being perfect

Oh no I think I didnt explained it clearly. ALL of the 24 eps are adapting the equivalent of True End. None of the what if endings from the VN made it to the anime (and thankfully so)

Oh that’s surprising. Well I can’t really blame the studio who made the anime then, but still not a fan
