Welcome to Steins;Gate gang version.

Season 1 of the biggest anime this year just ended, and it was quite an awesome ride. Despite the story having certain elements from Steins;Gate, the gang aspect made for intense and often unpredictable spin to the plot. The circumstances became more and more dire that made me rooting for the main character.

The characters is by far the best aspect of this anime. The main character was your typical crybaby, but I didn't find a lot of problem with him, unlike many viewers who expected the kid to be some alpha chad. The other members of the gang all had interesting backstories and moral compasses that created clashing and intense interactions between these characters.

As for problems, sometimes characters made questionable decisions that annoyed me. The animation of the fight scenes could be improved for better entertainment value, but I can't be too hard on this considering the stress the animators had during this time.

Overall, a thrilling anime and definitely worth the hype. Can't wait for season 2. 8.5/10.
