Animation was great, art was simple but unique, soundtrack was very good, story was very good (though not entirely original), narrative was really great, characters were fantastic.

First off, I loved that the females clearly have noses. They barely exist in the world of anime. Anyways, after having watched both the subbed and dubbed versions of Steins;Gate, I am thoroughly happy with almost everything about this series. A delightful set-up with lovable and dynamic characters, a wonderul soundtrack, many honest and even educational themes, a deep and evocative story, and a powerful narrative with great voice actors. But, to be honest, I've seen plenty of great anime that do those things. To me, the areas in which this anime truly shines beyond the rest is in it's perfection; it simply lacks error. I have always been a man who finds every little problem and every detail, analyzing them and using them to form a more detail-oriented opinion. However, I must say that throughout this entire anime, almost every question was answered and everything fit together without error. After watching it a second time, I saw there was one thing that wasn't explained, but I think I figured out the explanation myself, so it doesn't bother me much. When it comes to continuity, this anime is number one, especially when it comes to sci-fi, and even more especially when it comes to time travel sci-fi. This is the most well thought out and put together time travel story that I can remember seeing in my entire life.
