Story: This is one of the strong points of the series. It starts of with a very interesting theme, and it gradually dulls at midpoint and put a sharp twist-turn right at the end. However, as the story gradually progresses, another theme emerges and made the whole thematic aura of the anime change. Personally, I don't like the emerging theme that progresses in the story because I have the impression that the series will be an absolute shounen anime in which romance theme would be less emphasized. Nevertheless, I rode on with the story and accepted everything that happens, that is why I truly enjoyed it. Aside from the story itself, I also liked how the setting is portrayed. It is unique and one-of-a-kind. The concept of the story is very fresh and new, I can say for a fact that I can relate to the variables, mechanics, and terms introduced in the concept, since I am someone who loves to play games. This is also a factor that truly motivates me to enjoy the series.
Art: The animation is definitely a plus factor since it is in high definition and very clear-cut. It tries to visualize everything in a detailed manner, and it is quite helpful. Everything from places to characters is very well thought of and sharply defined.
Sound: I love the first opening song of the anime, it is quite catchy and upbeat. I think the voice actors of the characters did a great job, they are able to deliver a voice that is well-suited to the characters.
Character: I definitely liked the characters in the series, especially the main characters. I see the minor characters as an integral point in the series, they are brought upon in order to make the main characters shine. They are the type of elements that gives a better bigger picture of the entire landscape. Metaphorically, if this were a painting, the main object of the painting are the main characters and the minor characters are the very details that emphasizes the focus of the painting.
I can see a character development in the series. I think the whole point of the story is actually to engage the main character into situations that will change his personality and view different perspectives of life. The fact that the main character bring about a certain change in his personality throughout the course of the story is the core point of the series.
Enjoyment: Honestly, when the romance part progresses, I nearly lost interest in this anime. Nevertheless, I tried and succeeded to forgot my failed impression of this anime, and just watch as to how it unfolds. I threw away my biases and expectations while watching this anime, as maybe it is due to this that in the end, I really enjoyed watching it. I don't know if I was satisfied with the ending, but I guess it was just okay. I didn't give it much thought because again, I am not expecting something from this anime, and it suited just fine.
In conclusion, it is an anime that leaves excitement at first, gradually dies down and shapes up simultaneously in the middle and finalizes everything in the end. It is enjoyable to watch because it is action-paced, and though I am not an advocate in the romance part, it just turns good and well. I enjoyed the series and is definitely a watch!
