My brother tells me it's the best anime ever.

And I was like really?

So, I watched it today and halfway through episode 1 I got bored.
Apparently I need to watch it through to episode 12 as according to my brother it get's good at that part.

And what do you guys think of Unbreakable Machine Doll Yaya? Is it worth watching?

Yes it is. Probably the best series out there.

It's not for everyone. Perhaps it doesn't suit your taste. It's probably an overstatement for it to be the best anime ever, but it's one of the better ones.

It only starts getting good around the 6th episode onwards, and from the 12th episode onwards, everything's just epic until the end.

Ok you need some patience with some anime. Stiens gate is one of them. I can compare it to gintama. Some people hate the begging but love it then. Some people are lovers since the begging. Stiens gate is like that. If you actually give it a chance it is really good. Or just read the wiki to save time.
Peace

A 26 episode anime shouldn't take 12 episodes for it to get good. Its need have at least a semi-decent start. U_U

It's not the best anime, but it's one of the better ones.

Just like every other anime out there , is not for everyone , not everything is for everyone , if you need something getting blown up every damn episode , you're not gonna like it , watch it 3 -5 episodes & judge for yourself . IMO is one of the best animes out there & of course one of my favorites .

It's overrated, but I won't deny that it's good.​

Overhyped, but worth watching.

It's one of my favorite anime and a must watch for an anime fan IMO. If it weren't for Gintama, it would be my #1 anime.

Machine-doll is good but not one of my favorites. It's enjoyable but definitely nowhere as good as Steins;Gate.

Best anime ever, man. You gotta watch it:)

Most people say it doesn't get good until the second half. Personally, I got bored at the first episode, too, but the very end of it managed to hook me and I enjoyed it all the way through. Yeah, the later episodes are definitely better, but I didn't see anything wrong with the earlier ones either.

It truly is one of the best anime out there, it may seem a bit random and boring at first, but that is because all of the things that you learn at the beginning start to make sense later on. If keep watching then you'll realize how much of a mistake it would have been to stop, just like with Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

As for Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai (Unbreakable Machine Doll), I suggest you read the light novel or the manga.

Good, but hardly the best.
As far as my opinion is regarded, as these tend not to be regarded much at all in some eyes, I think they did a really good job with a series only lasting for 24 eps, so definitely worth watching. Give it a chance of at least 3 episodes and then judge whether it is something for you or not.

Steins;gate is an I just finished a week ago and it's a beast anime. I don't think it's the absolute best anime I've watched but it's definitely in my top 5. It does start out slow but it gets much much better around episode 11-12. And as the other people pointed out, this also allows for the story to develop which is important for what happens in the second half of the anime. Also, the first 1-2 episodes get you confused as well but you get the jist of what's happening later on.

In summary, definitely check it out.
