Thoughts: I never knew that this series would have a very deep and complex story about time traveling. Okabe is a "mad scientist" who discovered a time traveling microwave that can send text messages to the past. At first, everything was all just fun and games with experimenting on the time traveling device, but all of the sudden the consequences of using that device starts to catch up with Okabe and his lab members. This story does a great job in balancing comedy, thriller, moeness, character development, and even the emotional and intense moments. This anime doesn't waste any episode to get though its story because each episode has an important event to show. Stein's Gate ceases to amaze me with their intriguing time traveling story.
