Steins Gate: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Self styled 'mad scientist' and geek Rintaro Okabe/'Hooin Kyoma' stumbles across the murder of scientific starlet Makise Kurisu during a lecture on time travel. Following a strange temporal 'event', Okabe sees her alive and is desperate to figure out how this is possible, enlisting her in the 'Future Gadget Laboratory' (his little club) and working on his microwave time machine. One of the finest anime I have ever watched, 'Stein;s Gate' is the antithesis of your typical goofy fanservice fest, offering a smart and often touching take on the power and side effects of time travel. The foundation is absurd for sure, and the show's sense of humour has no problem mining that, but when we get to the members using the technology to alter their lives and in the process, change the world around them, the show pulls no punches. This is amplified by the fact that we have a strong and likeable lot of characters that make up Okabe's entourage: the eccentric lead, the smart but somewhat high nosed Kurisu, the loveably sweet Miyuri, tech and online geek Daru, the silent and reserved Moeka, the timid & transgendered Lukako, the excitable waitress Faris and the high spirited tomboy Suzuha. They all compliment each other well and as the series progresses, you really get behind them and why they want these changes, some of which do tug hard at the heartstrings. However, it is Okabe's story that is the most grueling, as 'Stein;s Gate also acts as a more fantastical coming of age story as he remembers every change in the timeline, and how he must step up for his friends, as well as solving Kurisu's murder. He goes from petty manchild to a far more mature adult by the end and it can be very harrowing. How'd have thunk this could come from the inventor of a microwave & phone based time machine? And the rest is no slack: the animation is subdued but full of nuance and detail, refreshing for a sci-fi show, the music is often sombre but never overpowering or melodramatic, and the voice cast are tremendous, with J. Michael Tatum on the English front giving a career best performance as Okabe. Frankly, I have practically no genuine complaints or issues to speak of, save for maybe the last episode being little more than perfunctory sugaring of an already satisfying ending, but even then, it still has enough laughs to get by. Honestly, I cannot sing the praises of this show enough: drop whatever you are doing, and go see this show. It is criminally underrated, and of the best animated television series to come out in the last decade.

The story follows the self proclaimed "mad scientist" Okabe Rintarō, who calls himself Hououin Kyouma, and the "Future Gadget Laboratory." He, along with his friend Daru and hostage Shiina Mayuri, create a phone-operated microwave that can send e-mails into the past. This, of coarse, interests the scientific prodigy Makise Kurisu (who then becomes a member of the Future Gadget Laboratory). Firstly, I must say that the pacing of the first half of the series is a little slow, but it does pick up around episode 9. From that point on, the show continued to get better. Now, I'm not saying the first half was bad, no, just slow. It still was very enjoyable. All of the characters were interesting and they all had good interactions with each other. I loved the story. I loved the characters. I loved the themes and issues. You see, Steins;Gate isn't just a show with time travel, it's a show ABOUT time travel. Obviously, writing a story that is about time travel is very, very difficult (which is why most people would rather just write a story that happens to have time travel, since that's far easier). However, Steins;Gate does a very good job. I'm not a scientist, so I cannot say how accurate this show's depiction of time travel is, but I can say that after hours of research it does seem close enough. Okabe Rintarō is a very enjoyable main character. Overall, I would highly recommend this series to any fan of sci-fi.

Steins;Gate is brilliant. The series starts out with a lighthearted feel, it almost coming across as a slice-of-life or a geeky sitcom while the main cast experiment with time travel in what has to be one of the most believable methods I have witnessed as well, I like a good series about time travel! The main character, Rintarou Okabe, is a loveable self-proclaimed mad scientist and has to be one of my favourite protagonists in anything, he makes this series what it is. However, when the real shock of the story hits, the anime takes a dark turn that shall grip you completely, I marathoned the rest as it was too good to stop watching. I would say the first part of the story can be a little slow, but bear with it as it is by far my favourite anime that I have seen yet

Steins;Gate is an amazing Anime series with many loveable and fleshed out characters, brilliant writing, a gripping plot with many twists and turns along with well-balanced comedy and drama. The 1st half of the show is really good, whereas the 2nd half is incredible, as the plot kicks into high gear and starts to get emotionally spell-binding once episode 12 finishes. Steins;Gate is a true testament to how talented the Japanese are when it comes to great story-telling and it's the perfect example of how to tell a solid time travel story. Whether you are an Anime fan or not, or just someone who is interested in time travel, I can't recommend this show highly enough.

A quick delivery a week before it should and a price which is not to high. All in all a good choice to buy. And the anime is very good as well.

Simplemente esta serie es una obra maestra, un argumento que a pesar que el inicio puede ser algo lento es magnifico, los personajes tienen personalidades reales y son sometidos a situaciones extremas que te han compadecer de ellos, la banda sonora es adecuada en todo momento... 100% recomendada. Hablando de esta edicion de DVD lleva audio japones con subtitulos en ingles, estupendo. Y ademas lleva el OVA, tambien añadido en japon como el capitulo 25 que hace cerrar bien toda la trama. Otra cosa de esta edicion de DVD que me ha llamado la atencion es que contiene las versiones creditless del OP y END.

Wow excelente! Y a un precio de regalo! Una de las series más geniales que he visto, imagínate que todo lo que hagas en tu vida pueda ser alterado con un simple mensaje de texto! Pero como dice el tío de Peter Parker, un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad

I must admit I took the plunge on this show purely based on the positive reviews for it. I didn't really have a good picture of what I was getting into, but it sounded like a fun quick anime to watch. In hind sight it was probably a bad idea not to check it out first, but I can't say that I regret it. A fantastic price for the complete collection of a fantastic show. It starts off with a lot of slow exposition, but it carries such zany charm as it does it. It might take a few episodes before you really get beyond the grok barrier, but once you do it's hard to stop watching them. Every character has their own unique personality, built on classic anime tropes with extra layers to keep things fresh. Just a note on the packaging, I think the discs are just reprints of older collections, because discs 3 and 4 say "one" and "two" on the menu screens. Not a big deal, just something I noticed, and the labels still say 3 and 4 anyway. All in all, I didn't know what I was getting into, but I think that was the best part. Jumped into the deep end and loved every minute of it.
