Kurisutina: noooooo you can't just put bananas in a microwave
Mad Scientist: haha time travel go brrrrr
Initially planned to watch this concurrently while I was playing the video game that this was based on, but I ended up binging so much more of this than planned and I suppose I had already spoiled myself for what happens within the game too - though I couldn't help already being hooked into the story of Steins;Gate either way.
Nonetheless, I wasn't entirely sure what to make of the characters at first - yet this entire crew only turned out to become more lovable the more I stuck with this story, and soon enough I only ever found myself wanting everyone to meet a happy end - in spite of the roots of where the story had been built?…

Rintarou Okabe, 18 Jähriger Wissenschaftsstudent, und seine zwei Laborpartner, Sandkastenfreundin Mayuri und Hacker Kumpel Itaru, können per Mikrowellengerät Nachrichten in die Vergangenheit senden. Nach und nach werden die Konsequenzen ihres Handelns immer größer.
Japanischer Anime von 2011 das auf ein Game beruht. 25 Folgen a ca. 23 Minuten in einer abgeschlossenen Staffel. Thematisch bewegt man sich hier in der Science-Fiction (Zeitreisen), mit Elementen aus dem Drama+Thriller+Romanze+Komödie. Das war nun seit langer Zeit wieder ein Anime den ich ganz gesehen habe. Wie öffters mit Filmen/Serie aus dem asiatischen Raum, mußte ich mich erst mal an den Humor, und das vermischen von verschiedenen Genres, gewöhnen. Danach gefiel mir der Anime sehr gut, und hat auch ein bissjen süchtig gemacht.…
Watched the entire series 3rd time, and it still amazes me how perfectly it explores the time travel theme with proper investment in character development that you feel for every character, and it never drops the ball at any moment of the entire series everytime you watch it you will take out something new from it, one of the best anime series of all time.
Boy howdy was that an anime. Pulse pounding stress coupled with honestly funny hijinks.
You’ve got these incredibly lively characters that go through so much development that’ll tear at your heartstrings as things continue to worsen around them. The relationships between each of the lab members hold so much depth and emotion: It occasionally wrecked me. And every time time travel would completely erase the moments they all had together I felt like dying. Oof
The plot starts off as a slow burn full of character interactions and plot points, then halfway through this anime kicks into overdrive. Every following episode whallops you with depression, stress, hopelessness, and a lot of anticipation.
This was an amazing experience and I can see why it’s so beloved. Definitely one of the greats.
Part of me wants to not log this seeing as it's a TV show. So no rating, but I will say it is worth the watch.
Dealing with time travel while addressing the emotional effects it can have on individuals makes this my favourite anime series from the 2010’s.
