Steins Gate: Complete Series Classic [Blu-ray] by Funimation by Takuya Sato, Tomoki Kobayashi, Colleen Cli Hiroshi Hamasaki

The organization is on to you. The only way to stop them is to purchase this Steins;Gate blu-ray set. Make sure you binge watch it. If you start watching it and don't like it... just keep watching it... That's the organization mind probe trying to pull you away from the truth. Here's a Dr. Pepper... We'll meet again once you know the truth.

I'll keep this review short because if you're on this page you've probably already seen the anime and are interested in owning it. Steins;Gate is an amazing psychological thriller from start to finish. The story is top-notch, the characters are deep and well developed, the animation is beautiful. Also one of the best English dubs out there for those who don't like subs. (I watched it the first time with subs and then again with the dub and I actually prefer the English voices for some characters.)I've attached some pics so you will know what to expect. This set includes 8 discs; 4 DVD's and 4 Blu-Ray Discs. Personally I could have done without the DVD's as they make the case kind of thick, but hey, they're in there.

If you haven't seen this show, stop reading reviews and BUY IT ALREADY!!! I can't see anyone watching through the entirety of this show and not absolutely loving it.When I first saw this, I only watched the first 4 episodes when the aired in Japanese. Unfortunately, it uses a lot of scientific terminology, and the characters can speak fast sometimes, so I feel like I was lost trying to follow the sub. I couldn't get into the characters because of this language barrier, so I stopped watching.All these years later, I finally went back and watched this show in English. Let me start of by saying, the cast is wonderful, and they put so much emotion and life into the characters. The story picks off a little slower, but it doesn't take long before you find yourself trying to binge watch the entire series in one day! I haven't played the game (yet), so I can't say how the story matches up to that. For the show, the art is gorgeous and flawless. The writing is just so good. I can't say enough good things about this show! You'll want to keep watching this show over and over again!This particular set is a steal. It comes in a nice case, as well as a slipcover, and there is nice artwork on the inside of the case. The spine makes it look beautiful on my shelf. And the price can't be beat when you consider you get both DVD AND Blu-Ray. This could honestly sell for more than $50 and it would be worth it.

- Synopsis: An anime that starts off with friends hanging out trying to discover the method to using a time machine. One day, they accidentally discover it. At first, it turned out to be just for fun as they continued to humor themselves, but then the group starts heading into dangerous territory as they dig deeper into the unknown. They find many shocking secrets that they cannot go back on; as they become targeted by various and shady organizations. Curiosity killed the cat. A saying that the main character will painfully come to understand as he attempts to reclaim the life he originally had.===========================================================================================================- Comments: This anime is very suspenseful. Moreover, the characters are pretty likable. Which makes it easier to develop sympathy and empathy towards them. Because like many things in life, not everything is so cut-and-dried or black and white. As the anime becomes more serious, you can't help but sympathize with the main character. It's very well done. Even though they are fictional characters, this anime in particular effectively absorbs the audience and leaves them in suspense. Like an addiction: wanting more and more.- Analysis: I also liked how they touched up on concepts such as time travel. I'm sure many of us, especially as kids, fantasized about this. So, it was pretty cool how they were talking about this concept but in a more nerdy and scientific way. Further emphasizing or playing around on the idea that it may exist; we just don't have the knowledge or means to go about it.- Features: English and Japanese audio, as well as English subtitles. Includes 25 episodes on 4 Blu-ray disks and 25 episodes on 4 DVDs with a run-time of about 10 hours. Rated TV-14 for violence, and sexual content.- Conclusion: An anime with lots of exposition which is suitable for more mature audiences. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone in many ways.===========================================================================================================- Recommendations: Chaos;Head, Psycho-Pass, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Code Geass, Code:Breaker, and Bakemonogatari.

Steins gate is great - you don't need me to tell you how good it is, searches online will give you that.I will say though that this impressed me, not only for the characters, plot and level of engagement, but because of satisfactory resolution. A lot of anime leave plot points unresolved, character relationships having unsatisfactory endings; but steins gate deals with these brilliantly, considering the standard format of 20ish mins per episode over 24 in total for this story. It's quite western in that respect, and a joy to watch.The romance is also very well done and believable.On to the blu ray itself, the quality is very good - as per the norm with anime watching on blu ray, you do notice some banding across the screen at higher resolutions and some grainy effects here and there, but I don't believe it's designed for 55inch OLED televisions. Still, the colours are bright and vivid, and sound quality is fantastic.

The story follows the self proclaimed "mad scientist" Okabe Rintarō, who calls himself Hououin Kyouma, and the "Future Gadget Laboratory." He, along with his friend Daru and hostage Shiina Mayuri, create a phone-operated microwave that can send e-mails into the past. This, of coarse, interests the scientific prodigy Makise Kurisu (who then becomes a member of the Future Gadget Laboratory). Firstly, I must say that the pacing of the first half of the series is a little slow, but it does pick up around episode 9. From that point on, the show continued to get better. Now, I'm not saying the first half was bad, no, just slow. It still was very enjoyable. All of the characters were interesting and they all had good interactions with each other. I loved the story. I loved the characters. I loved the themes and issues. You see, Steins;Gate isn't just a show with time travel, it's a show ABOUT time travel. Obviously, writing a story that is about time travel is very, very difficult (which is why most people would rather just write a story that happens to have time travel, since that's far easier). However, Steins;Gate does a very good job. I'm not a scientist, so I cannot say how accurate this show's depiction of time travel is, but I can say that after hours of research it does seem close enough. Okabe Rintarō is a very enjoyable main character. Overall, I would highly recommend this series to any fan of sci-fi.

Bizarre experiments with bananas in a microwave,hooked-up to a cellphone,combined with strange meetingswith a girl that seems to recognise him from former meetings,wich he,of course does not remember,because theyhad not occurred[from his point of view] learn the self-acclaimed mad scientist Okarin that time-traveling mightindeed be possible.Thus making a lot of troubles for his co-workers,and even causing the repetetive demise of one them in re-occurring parallel timelines.In the end she luckily survives,by returning to the original timlapse she originated from.In this science-fiction comedy some wellknown companies,like SERN[CERN,in Geneva] and IBM are mentioned.The series states time-travel might indeed be possible,but beware of the consequences!

Steins;Gate is a thought-provoking exploration of the effects and consequences of randomly meddling with time. From the opening episode, where self-proclaimed mad scientist Okarin suddenly shifts world lines after sending a seemingly random text, the plot evolves in a coherent way and climaxes in a truly emotional final episode. The first half of the series contains much of its comedy, even though there are still interesting demonstrations of the Butterfly Effect, and how paradoxes are negated. During the second half, the full weight of the time travel experiments comes home to both Okarin and the viewer, presenting one tragic scenario after another as Okarin is faced with a seemingly impossible dilemma. The emotional core of the story is the relationship between Okarin and Kurosu: evolving from allied rivals to close friends and beyond, Okarin's journey resonates the most when the viewer sees how it impacts his feelings for Kurosu and her own view of him. The final OAV included in this collection is just a little piece of tying up loose ends, switching over more to pure comedy, but it still carries over Okarin and Kurosu's emotional journey and brings it to a suitable climax.Aesthetically, the anime starts out looking rather bland and continues to be throughout, but rather than this being a negative effect, it instead drives home the hard sci-fi atmosphere and the dark themes explored in its story and characters. There is also absolutely no need to know about the game it's based on, and it's a trifle more family friendly in its depictions of violence and language than many other equivalent anime series. The character designs and overall production values are excellent, while the voice acting for both the original Japanese and the English dub are splendid. Special features are very sparse (commentary for selected episodes), and some subtitles are a little flaky in when they appear and how consistent they are in a particular translation, despite that translation being accurate enough to pass muster. On the whole, this is an excellent sci-fi anime in a polished package. Buy now. And prepare for the advent of Hōōin Kyōma (and friends)!

This is going to be a review of the case and extra content because I assume that, if you are thinking about buying this show, you've already see it and have decided you liked it enough to purchase the physical copy. andThe case contains 4 discs in a a case that is twice as thick as a normal Blu-ray case for no apparent reason. Other shows were able to put 4 or even 5 discs in a normal size Blu-ray case.However the artwork on the case and disc is spectacular and is almost worth buying on those alone.The discs comes with a few extras including commentaries by the English cast on episodes 1, 12, 19 and 24.Overall it's a nice addition to any collection.
