The visual novel is really fantastic, though fairly slow-moving if you're not used to the medium. (Visual novels in general tend to be very detailed and very slow-paced. Some, like Higurashi, use this to great effect, but it can also annoy people not used to them.)
If you're not sure about reading it, the anime is also really good. It's obviously much less detailed than the visual novel (compressing ~40 hours of visual novel into TV format is hard) and omits some sizable plot points, but it's still great. The first half is fairly slow set up before it hits like a truck.
- eslaught 10y agoWhat would you recommend to try next for someone who liked Steins;Gate (the visual novel)?
- PeCaN 10y agoFor visual novels? Probably Root Double, Ever17, and Umineko. All have really great character development like Steins;Gate and are pretty thoughtful. Root Double has well-done sci-fi elements as well.
- itchyjunk 10y agoI haven't read the visual novel for either one but i've enjoyed the anime immensely. So I would recommend you give Haruhi Suzumiya [0] a shot. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya
