Review of Steins;Gate

The Storyline was amazing, slow then fast, confusing but thrilling and really entertaining. This was one of the most detailed, interesting Anime I have watched when it comes to the storyline as it kept me hooked even in the slow and confusing parts of it. The unique parts of this Anime were truly amazing. The small amount of comedy in the Anime helped with toning down the seriousness in the right way as sometimes it got really serious, so you needed that comedy to come into it, just to calm you down. Also I think I heard a Doctor Who reference in the Anime. The pace of the Anime improved around halfway through, but at first it was slightly slow and dragged on a bit. There were also some scenes that I really found hard to watch emotionally but I managed through because if I didn’t watch it, then the Anime wouldn’t have eventually made sense. This Anime was truly a work of Art and it was worth my time to watch it.

The Animation was really good and I really loved how they showed the time traveling parts. The Sound was also really good and the English Voice Actors suited the characters that they portrayed. The opening and ending songs, although not really memorable as such, they were fitting and good for the Anime.

The main Characters were truly amazing. The individualities and when they all work together were good to watch. Okabe was so funny and you connected with him at times throughout the Anime. You also see him in various situations and it was entertaining seeing him figure out how to get out of them. The other 3 main characters; Hashida, Makise and Shiina were also really good and their trust in Okabe was truly remarkable. Also I love the idea of Okabe and Makise together. Some secondary and minor characters were very annoying and unlikable, which was a shame as the 4 main characters was the opposite.

Overall I truly loved this Anime, and it was almost close to perfection. This showed a different side to time travel, and now I don’t want to ever EVER time travel.

Summer 2016 Anime: A lot of them have disappointed me...

During Summer 2016 a lot of Anime seemed to grab my attention and I couldn't wait to dive right into them, you also had the 2nd half of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World, Kuromukuro and Endride which would end in this season. 

The issue there is, the majority of them had potential to being the next big thing, and yet only Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World managed to do that. The other Anime was either amazing, really good but lacked something to being close to perfect or was just.. mediocre or in one case, close to being rubbish.  

Perfect Anime: 

• Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World 
• The character development, story progression and fight scenes were amazing and really had me on the edge of my seat for the majority of the show. 
• The Animation wasn't the best but to be perfectly frank, when it was good, it was perfect and when it wasn't it didn't need to be as the story was just too good. 
• The voice acting was AMAZING. The voice actor of main character and main villain were the best by far. 

Close to Perfect Anime:

• All 4 of these Anime had great potential to being perfect but had a few things that just made me question... Why!?.  

• Tales of Zestiria: The X
•  The 2 weeks of the "Tales of Berseria" slotted right into the middle of the Anime.
• Servamp
• It was mainly the ending that made me rate this lower... and the fact I wasn't really hyped up with ANY of the fights. 
• Orange 
• The Animation was ... questionably the worst I have scene on some scenes along with Cheer Boys!!.
• Kuromukuro
• Sometimes it was very slow and certain characters annoyed the hell out of me. 

Good/Entertaining Anime:

• Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! LOVE! 
• Cheer Boys!! 
• B-PROJECT  

Mediocre/Okay Anime:

• Taboo-Tattoo 
• Rewrite
• Qualidea Code

Close to being Rubbish Anime: 

• Endride
• The last 4 episodes bar the ending was actually decent, but it was too little to late.
