Two things I usually note when recommending Steins;Gate.
Either the sub or the dub is well worth watching, but the dub is one of my favorites. In particular, it shines with Okarin's mile-a-minute pseudo-scientific conspiracy rants.
If you like the premise and the characters, but are frustrated at the slow pace, hang in there. The plot does eventually kick into gear, and it doesn't waste any of the character development or world building.
The anime is good, but the original visual novel is much more detailed and offers several endings. 11/10 would recommend; it's the only time I can say a video game brought me close to tears. The Steins;Gate visual novel was the perfect gateway drug into otaku culture for me the first time I played it, especially since it included a glossary of terms related to anime/manga that grew as the story continued.
