Anime Analysis : Steins Gate OMG!!!!!

I really don't know where to start with this review or really just praise. Last night i started watching Stein Gate the anime adaptation and i was glued to it till the early hours of the next morning. Now I'm only 12 episodes in but i mean come on for one day? I don't usually get that into things but man did this suck me in. Stein gate follows a self proclaimed "mad scientist" although really just a guy who out of touch with reality as he witnesses a murder, but soon find out that the girl is still alive. Eventually coming to the conclusion that he has figured out how to manipulate time and is creating new world line through his telephone microwave (temporary name). Although this all seems a little cheesy and over the top there is this underlying haunting tone in the series that causes the comedy and lightheartedness to not overwhelm you. Throughout all the episodes i had this feeling that something horrible is actually going on and that no character can be trusted. Eventually the series started to get extremely serious and makes you really think about what your perception of reality really is. Now i haven't finished it so i cant say anything for the ending but if it more of the safe I'm sure ill be glued to my seat the whole way through. This has show has an amazing score and really just the feeling it gives you is unlike piece of media ever has. That being said i will be soon checking out the visual novel as well. Overall 9/10(even a bad ending wouldn't bring it lower). I encourage any anime fan or even those who don't enjoy anime to check this out its an amazing piece of art.
