Honestly the game part of the anime is really bad. It feels really too slow, and the animations are also not so good. Guess I'll still stay for 2 or 3 more episodes, see if it can get better, but clearly I'm not convinced.

Thought I was watching a valorant gameplay for a sec LOL. Dropped 1st EP, was fooled by what I thought could've been a potential.

I was so ready to give them kudos for intentionally making the game old looking when they time skipped, but then they were still playing it. That is way too awful looking for the amount of screen time. Also, seriously, pops? You're asking loudmouth before your own daughter who just carried his ass? No wonder your wife left you.

When you ignore the terrible gaming graphic, the anime is ok and has good graphic. I thought my tv is broken when I saw the gaming graphic...

Poor guy. Being used by his friends and an incompetent businessman. The game itself is painful to watch. Uses mnk but movement is like playing with a busted controller.
@GizzyWizzy In reality, there are a lot of crazy businessmen out there who don't do business with reason and logic. They ignore advice and go bankrupt, and some of them succeed.

Honestly it's like between a 5 and 6 overall so far, but the graphics for the game are pretty funny and the premise is decent so ill give it 2 more episodes before I decide to drop it or not. We don't get too many anime like this, so I'm trying to give it a fair shot. Also it definitely helps to watch this with a gamer friend so you can laugh together. It's much more enjoyable.

Hmm well esports anime are very rare so it's definitely pretty refreshing in that sense. Animation quality is a bit lackluster though, I get that it'd be unrealistic to expect modern day FPS graphics in an anime but it still feels a bit jarring. Quanzhi Gaoshou made it look more seemless by just making the in-game visuals anime style as well

Bit mixed feelings on it for now, doesn't seem like the most groundbreaking story premise either but I'll stick with it at least

Agreed esports or gaming anime isn't super common, so I'm giving it 2 more episodes to cook before I decide to drop it or not lol.

The 3D part is bad but one can get use to it. Other than that, it seems interesting enough for me to watch.

Also, stellar cast there, Kenshou Ono, Inase Minori, Amamiya Sora, Kimura Ryouhei with more known names coming, including Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, Hondou Kaede or Sugita Tomokazu. Even if this show is rough on the edges they can certainly elevate it to the new level.

And I can already see love triangle (although childhood friend never wins, right?)

The Hondo in Hondo Kaede doesn’t have a u btw (kanji: 本渡楓/ほんどかえで)

Interesting.
I was anxious to know why Shun stopped playing.
I wonder if it's because of his sister...

I theorize that she got hurt while he was playing :/

That game looks horrendous. Valorant wannabe.

Kinda funny to see an anime revolving around a game and an esports team. I work at a gaming cafe, and this is funny tbh. ALSO HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU PUT A FUCKING GPU IN THE OVEN???? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN SOMEONE DO THAT.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be, so it's a pleasant surprise to me. Nothing special, but an okay introduction - I think they did pretty well in introducing the main cast.

nah that's a thing, and the reason was even valid. solder can crack or separate over time and the GPU die will lose connection with the solder pads on the card. low temp baking can reflow (melt) the solder and reconnect it. though as noted, if it happens once, it's liable to recur and you should prepare for permanent death

@tarfeef101 I mean, if that happened in the gaming cafe i work in, you bet i won't do that at all, what you said is a temporary fix, you wouldn't want a customer to play on a broken PC.

it typically would last an order of months, at least enough to keep a machine generating revenue while you get a replacement if you're not big enough to maintain a parts inventory

but yes it's a bit of a jenky fix for a professional setting

Pretty decent episode about gaming cafe I guess...

I don't have much to add on this yet, other that the fact the MC will soon hopefully meet the person "Explosion-kun" IRL while overcoming his past that's holding him back.

Pretty old school - the gaming in a cafe and some simple shooter game lol. :D From the description I thought it would feel a bit more futuristic trying to depict gaming in 10-20 years. Not gaming 10-20 years ago. :D

Story seems okay-ish. I bet the background story with the sister will be something pretty weak/boring - where it is written badly and main suddenly blames himself word weird reasons.

Not bad at all. I was hoping for some grand and epic tale, it's actually just video games... with a huge plot twist at the start...

This vibe we are getting are definitely the old, deprecated? Counter Strike we played years ago...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

it's total garbage. not only the game. the writer doesn't know a thing about Pro gaming at all. You can't change all players for the last match of the tournament. It doesn't work like this. Also MC puts GPU without a cooler into PC and plays on it. WTF

Well.. I am a fan of garbage animation, but I am not a fan of garbage plot...

in this anime, you will not be able to watch it more than some minutes...

basically, it's about games... imagine if you are playing the most garbage Counter strike copy game of all time and whenever someone gets a kill inside the game with the most ridiculous animation possible, they all go "WHOA !!".

This is just pure garbage.

Kind of interesting. When Saegusa, Yuu popped up I was like is this ruka from rent a gf? Interestingly enough yuu is also voiced by Amamiya, Sora who is the voice of chizuru from rent a gf 🤣.

EP 1

Not much to say. Not amazing, not terrible. I get the feeling something is going to happen later on, or it'll just slowly drift off

Either people just have no interest in these kinds of anime, or just competition considering all the other anime airing.

Like personally I really dont have much to say from the first ep, and I'm not super optimistic. I'll at least give it one or two more episodes to see if anything interesting happens, since I dunno.

Content wise, this feels like very familiar for some reason but I'm not sure. In a sense it kind of is like "our protagonist is sekretly op" but uh.

The OP shows a lot of other characters. Otherwise yeah. I did see the cast before watching, nozomi is minase inori. Otherwise.

I mean the concept is ok I guess. Apparently this is an original? Though that doesnt necessarily mean much.

Dang this Saudi anime is wild… and with Stu Levy/Tokyopop as well to boot is actually insane 🙉 🙉 🙉

Also getting the Production IMS flashbacks. 😂😂😂 And it’s also the animation producer debut of longtime employee of IMS who worked in production — Kenichi Kurihara.😅 Kinda surprised to see tho neither Awano or Jiyu are attached to this, but then again.🤣

The FPS this anime revolves around looks like some cheap mobile shovelware, or maybe a knockoff of the original Counter-Strike. The glasses scumbag is bad news too. Should never associate with someone so transparently after your sister.

Hopefully the narrative goes in a more interesting direction eventually. The people Shun is playing against have no idea how to fire their weapon.
