Alright so never done this before a review that is but here it goes... This was absolutely phenomenal it was wholesome it was sad it was scary it was intense i had no idea what i was about to witness when i started this but man... that blew my expectations out of the water so lets rant a bit... Music 7/10 The Music wasnt anything too special but it was still pretty damn good and the use of the music was also done pretty well there were especially a few tracks and moments here and there that stood out like when Overall the music was enjoyable but it wasnt anything super mind blowing Animation 8/10 The animation was actually pretty damn frickin solid it had quite a lot of very well done animation and they knew what they were doing and when to do specific stuff it was also quite nice that we had a more Generic Isekai sort of look while in the game world they even go chibi at times but when in the real world its very dark and grey much more detailed which i appreciate very much two art styles for each specific part of the show Characters 8/10 The characters were pretty damn well written it doesnt shy away from getting nice and gritty about who the characters are and their faults every character here has many flaws some more then others and they display them proudly and use them as much as they can for quite compelling characters you can get behind the MC and other people are fairly easy to understand when you really take a look at them i will say you will dislike some of the characters and the show knows this so while it has its own story to tell it never asks you to forgive them Another note i should make is that they also get you invested in the characters they easily win you over with them and a small spoiler as a warning to you you WILL cry at least once Story 8.5/10 At first the story is quite wholesome and nice and then after about the half way point things go off the rails in a good way the story gets really good the plot twists are plenty and well done the only reason i dont give the story a 9 is because near the end while wrapping things up it gets a bit messy as it sort of gets a bit too complicated there are stuff i even just now realize that i didnt before after discussing stuff with other people so just be warned that if you start to get a little lost near the end its not just you the ending of the anime gets a bit hard to understand at times but just know that theres MUCH more to this anime then just a broken family playing video games As a side note while the ending wraps everything up pretty nicely there are a few things that i wouldve liked to see covered a bit more but there is a sequel manga being made at the moment so maybe thats where ill find them stuff like All in all a very great anime and i highly recommend giving it a go when/if you give this a go i HIGHLY recommend at least staying tell episode 6
