Steins;Gate episodes review

I decided to write an opinion in the beginning of the series (for 8 series). In general, the first thing that should interest in the anime - is the name. Here it is rather strange, since Stein is quite a common German surname, but there wasn't lots of famous physisist. Perhaps the Japanese have simply decided to take something European (as it is for Americans all Russian - Petrov, Sidorov, etc.). Came across only one name from a similar area of ​​physics - Otto Stern. He studied the magnetic properties of elementary particles, by the way that it is possible to bring to the series. Yet it reminded me of Professor Stein from Soul Eater. Apparently the Japanese very much like the German, what else to say.

Let us now talk about graphics - visuals here are interesting, it does not look like popular now streamlined "photoshop" techniques. Nevertheless, there is no pleasant tones of watercolor, which is a small minus. Stylistics is also interesting - from the eye shape and finishing slightly elongated bodies (of course they are far away from xxx-Holic). As for the backgrounds - that they are not very well drawn, for there are shots where people standing in the distance are not doing anything, just static images. And the leaves on the trees in the distance does not always sway. But all this little things are not that important.

As for the characters - the hero with psychosis and somehow ephemeral aim and people who in general have nothing to do and decided to join him. Characters themselves are too narrow in terms of facial features. One is so naive and stupid, that dialogue and action to it and you can't say that she is even five years old. Here, the authors would like to shove a representative of Kawaii, apparently. Hacker too typical geek (thick, without girls)actually on his way and he does not develop. Girl Genius, when she argues and then rest say "how you get along," then understanding look. Then the girl-hikikomori, which only writes and says a little. What is also rather banal, the girl was made only with this feature. I can conclude that the authors of the series too unfamiliar with the literature and psychology, even its basics. Heroes too blunt in his character and image, that is sad enough.


Now for the story. Here it is interesting enough to cheer, even if the time machine made from a microwave oven, but that's the fact of time travel and the separation of worlds, it is worth considering. To me these are interesting topics, and there was a time when in university at physics lessons, I asked teacher to explain string theory to me. While all this looks in one go, and I always wait for a new series.

Let's see what this will do the authors continue, I hope I will not be disappointed.
