Back in 2011 I wrote a review of Steins;Gate, a series that I really enjoyed watching and gave it a 10 straight away and I even said that it was the best time travel story told in anime. Now, 2 years later, 7 months after the movie came out in cinemas I ordered the Blu-Ray and today we had a screening with the anime clubs of UTS, USyd and UNSW. It was a grand event, around 50 people showed up to watch this awesome movie. Anyway to the review.
**** CAUTION SPOILERS AHEAD ****
I went to my good friend Clara’s blog and saw an article about Pixar. Well Pixar being my favorite western animation studio (Shaft, KyoAni, Ghibli are still my top3 in japan) I just had to read it. It is a interesting theory by this guy – Jon Negoroni but its so crazy that it might even be true! Hey they even mention time travel to fit in Monsters Inc and Brave.
As Clara put it, she was:
blindmown.
I concur! After reading this theory I have the sudden urge to to rewatch all the Pixar movies in the chronological order that he made as if they were connected.
Copying another old review of mine from Google+.
This time I Bring you Steins;Gate:
Best time travel related story ever!
10/10
Overall the story had everything: fiction, comedy, drama, romance, even a tsundere XD
the plot was deep and i could not find any continuity errors (i tried hard, really) while they were time traveling.
