Yeah it’s an insane take from the article. Steins;Gate is great, but it’s well known that the start is really boring. The story really kicks off like 1/3rd into the season.
I don’t really get this criticism. Doesn’t the murder and the time travel happen in episode 1? From there until they get their hands on the IBN is kinda slow, but it’s also building the mystery side of the story and introducing all the characters. I recently rewatched and there’s so much foreshadowing, you could actually piece together the whole story before any of the action starts. So I’ll defend the opinion that Steins;Gate is perfect and has no bad episodes or even wasted moments.
