Nostalgic for Back to the Future? Crazy about apocalyptic dystopias? Stein Gate is for you! Okarin is a scientist on the fringes of his community, considered a mad researcher obsessed with time travel. You won't believe it either when you see him until one of his friends accidentally discovers a way to go back to the future by heating a banana in the microwave. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of time travel, the young scientist soon finds himself overwhelmed by the consequences of his discovery.
Unable to find a solution to his basic problem, Okarin goes from the time jump to the time jump, always further into the future or deeper into the past. With Kurisu's help, he will try everything to solve this succession of events that he can no longer stop. Everything changes when he realizes that a member of his entourage has come from far into the future and brings shocking news about what must be avoided. The story takes a new turn, and from avoiding accidents restricted to his knowledge, it is the future of humanity that becomes the issue of these time travels.
A beautiful romance tinged with apocalyptic colors softened by a certain amount of comedy, Stein Gate is an anime of the Seinen genre that has not stolen its reputation! The plot is so well constructed that you will get lost in its meanderings without even realizing it, and will be impressed by its outcome. A beautiful dystopia with dramatic overtones, Stein Gate's strength lies not only in its breathtaking plot but also in its characters. All much deeper than they appear, they compete in heartbreaking stories.
Faced with a life-altering choice - a classic one in this genre - between humanity and the lives of his friends, Okarin is a touching and passionate hero who you'll love to watch evolve alongside Kurisu throughout the episodes. Sit back and enjoy this sentimental sci-fi nugget for a good futuristic evening!
