Steins;Gate First Impression

HNNNNG HNNNNNNNNG HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

What did I know beforehand?

All I really knew was everything in Arkada's review, and that he really enjoyed it. I went into it expecting to like it.

What are the plusses?

Goodness. I need to rave here.

The animation is BEAUTIFUL. It flowed so smoothly, and was incredibly pleasing to the eye... I loved it.

The opener was AMAZING. Great animation, great music...but what also shocked me was the CLOSER. Pretty good animation, but great music, too.

I don't usually point out anything with voice acting, but even watching it subbed, the Japanese voice actors were SO good, it sounded the way a normal person would talk.

And the characters themselves! I have to give my hats off to the translators (FUNimation), because they really did bring the vocabulary into the characters, giving them a distinct feel IN THE FIRST EPISODE.

And the story premises? Put away your Dr. Who, time for a real time travel story here. The kind that just might BLOW YOUR MIND.

What are the minuses?

Er....um... I didn't notice the background music that much. That's not really a negative, more like a "meh", but that's it. The only possible minus. DANG THIS IS GOOD

Story: 9.5

Characters: 9.7

Animation: 9.6

Music: 8.3

Overall: 9.28

Needless, to say, I loved it.

PS:

Okay, the main character is hot, in that he's-so-weird-you-can't-help-but-be-attracted-to-him way. GOSH main character first impression crushes better not be a regular thing.
