To those just starting this journey:

Please don't drop this anime. It's got a great story and I promise that everything will be explained once you get further in. I promise you'll not be disappointed when everything comes together and you have that moment of clarity where everything just clicks and the pieces fall into place.

The story is outstanding, the ride is emotional and the characters are well written and developed. If you're here, reading this, and thinking whether or not you should invest your time into this show, click the play button. You'll get much more out of this than you would normally think.

This is my 5th or 6th time through and I'm still noticing new things. Small detailed things. So I'll close out here hoping that you've decided to take the first step.

Happy watching, friends!

Since you're asking that much, i won't disappoint you.

You'll thank yourself in the end, beginning, end.

yeah literally i watched ep 1 dropped.......again watched ep 1 to 3 and dropped ....later i didn't had any things to watch so i guessed to watched and BAM it was a fucking coolest thing i have ever watched......I had literally brag about the concept of ( that) which revolves around this anime to my friends and i was a literal godbrain to them lol.
I literally copied every time travel theory from this and hailed as a genius lol

I can see that. It's an interesting enough topic by itself, and everyone likes the idea of time travel. This was done so well, its not hard to see why people who've never heard of it might think along similar lines.

Yeah it is one of the masterpiece, and people out there says it IS OVERRATED instead of underrated lol

Congratulations on actually making it to ep 3 on your 2nd attempt to watch.

I remember dropping at ep 1 on both my first 2 attempts, about a year apart. Then about more than a year later, I tried again, for the third time, since my friend raved about it.

Guess who watched the whole thing in one sitting?

Ye I don't think there exists a single moral who finished the whole thing in one sitting, this is also my 5th try. I didn't even get past 3 episodes

No kiddo, is just that people don't have patience for slow paced anime anymore and want everything to be really fast and exciting from episode one or two (It could also be that you simply won't like this type of anime, and is fine, I think is a masterpiece but not everybody will enjoy it) .... I remember watching Steins;gate and finished it in one sitting, and then rewatching it the next days, because I thought that I couldn't appreciate it enough in one single sitting.

It is a great story, and it gets better with each episode (Also, for avid readers and people that reeeaaaallyyy enjoyed the anime, I recommend playing the visual novel).

I actually think Steins Gate has the most logical answer to time travel than other time travel shows.

dont do drugs future me

Or, on the other hand, do ALL the drugs. I jest, don't smoke crack, it's bad for you.

did u do any since this comment?
-not an FBI agent

Rewatching after finished it a few years ago, everything's about to get twisted again.

It's better every rewatch!

If you're looking for anime with quality, you should definitely watch Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. You could watch the old FMA, the stories are identical, but Brotherhood is, in my opinion, head and shoulders above the old one. It has remained at the top of the popular charts on MAL since it came out.

Also
Re:zero
Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased)
Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (older, move)
Kimi no Na wa (Has romance, but it's effin amazing)
Serial Experiments Lain (total mindfuck, debates about the ending are not few)

Dude, I just saw Erased yesterday, what a masterpiece. The storytelling was just next level.

eh the last few ep for erased was pretty trash tbh

It's so sad the first 8 eps were absolutely brilliant and the ending few eps let you down so much

Right? I might just have to watch that again now.

Tell me something about it is it worth it I mean watching erased

My anime japanese instincts are going off. The translation is Your name, right?????

haha I thought u were talking about her name sora, meaning sky. A name I've been saving for a while

Yes. It's a movie, and it literally translates to Your Name.

Yes, I've watched it and I know. Thanks for telling me anyways.

eh wait, is FMA and FMA:Brotherhood not a sequel anime?

No, it's essentially the same story, but Brotherhood doesn't just decide to take a wild right turn at third base for a touchdown. The story stays on track and is quite a bit darker that its earlier released counterpart. I hope you enjoy(ed) it!

Nah , FMA doesn't follow tha manga whereas FMA brotherhood follows the manga from the start to the end

Replying to have this pinned on disqus

oh also all the suggestions were good you got a good taste also i just started steins gate today

You Indian bro ? I'm watching Steins gate for the second time , last time I was here you weren't here

i have seen all of them just finished re:zero yesterday

Watch Charlotte as well, you won't regret it. If you really like seinen, give No Guns Life a go. I still haven't watched season 2 but I know it's gonna be a nostalgia trip when I do. Junichi Suwabe gives so much life to the characters he voices, and this one will be no exception. FYI I watched season 1 on a plane trip and it was friggin awesome to say the least. Come to think of it, I also watched Charlotte on a plane trip. Way more memorable than most other anime I watched coz of that.

I saw Charlotte after Clannad so the impact was kind of muted.

i watched the first episode of serial experiments lain and got really confused, so i dropped it

No sweat, enjoy the ride! If you really want to break yourself....Clannad and Clannad After Story.

I have to say, Iv'e never heard of it impacting someone quite this way. They are coming out with a second season called Steins;Gate zero. If you need something to take that off your plate, Shokugeki no Soma (Food Wars) if you haven't already. I died laughing during that show.

Nothing will make me better. I just want the series to continue. I don't care how.
Edit:i just edited a long, long comment.

All good things must come to an end. It's unfortunate but true. This means that the time spent with these good things must be treasured. I'll wait patiently for S;G 0 if it means that the anime won't feel rushed or incomplete. I'm glad you stuck with it and enjoyed the ride!

This is the longest strand ever I have seen lol, I am just going to start watching this. fyi I know every thing must come to an nd just finished Your lie in April I just happy it ends as I was suffering too much...

No problem! I'm glad that you enjoyed the show!

I loved all the steins;gate music. Everything just fit together like it was natural.
By boxing anime do you mean Hajime no Ippo? It's definitely on my list, butI haven't gotten around to watching it yet, and yes, I am a guy.

I'm watching the Fate series at the moment. With Apocrypha coming to an end, I'll have just enough time to binge the whole FATE series.
When I watch anime, I have to be in a certain mood for certain shows. I normally do a whole bunch of research on the next show I'm going to watch.
Hajime no Ippo *IS* on my list, and I have very high expatiations, but I'll have to be in the mood for it, kinda like wanting to watch Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, Rekka no Honoo, or Yu Yu Hakusho. Also, thanks for the watch order, now I don't have to look it up!

I'm probably too late but watch fate/zero first than fate stay/night(UBW),you can watch the regular fate stay/night but the story and animation are shitier.
