Most overrated bullshit of 2021, with trash story and cliched garbage characters. [MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS] First of all, the story. Guy goes back in time 12 years back from the present. After doing so, does gang fights to change the future & prevent the death of his gf. Not original, but if done right I might enjoy it. But guess what, I didn't. The show is repetitive. Every time a stronger and bigger gang members gang up the MC, all he does is cry about how weak of a person he is, waiting for someone to save his ass. The MC cries EVERY EPISODE, like every noexaggeration. Heck, even the concept of time travel isn't even well-explored. There's also so many times where Takemichi hints to other characters that he knows the future, but they act as if it were normal. This doesn't make any sense. It seemed like the author forgot/did not care to add elements of realism towards the show.

The characters are cliched and generic. MC is your typical crybaby shounen protagonist, and some might say that's okay as long as there's development. But guess what, no development. Throughout the entire season, Takemichi went from crybaby to crybaby. But the worst written character in this show would be Kazutora, his reasoning for him to hate Mikey was utterly bull shit. Like tf? he was the one who murdered people yet blames Mikey for it? LOL? And the other characters are just either bland & generic or retarded.

Art & Animation:
It seems like the art & animation time traveled back in time too.
1. Some scenes had deformed characters.
2. Slideshow animations
But then again, art is just personal preference.

Sound:
Average, nothing memorable.

I didn't enjoy the anime, forced myself to finish it; just because people were saying that it's "one of the best anime of 2021". Which clearly isn't.

Overall: Steins;gate with crybaby MC, average generic unlikeable characters, trash plot. 3/10

I have come to the conclusion that most of the shows (most, NOT ALL) nowadays that are rated high, are overrated. Seems like the people who rate these kinds of shows high are just the normies who've just started watching anime during quarantine.
