Incredibly gifted hikikomori siblings, with no interest in the "real world", uncontested kings in all manner of games thrown into a world ruled by games? Genius.
But this is not why this is a masterwork of an anime. As a gamer since a really young age, this anime speaks to me. I know most references, I can relate to how the main characters explains and reaches their conclusions.Still not enough to say why I love it.
Why I love it? This anime is a mindfuck in several ways to me, despite my knowledge in games. I believe that no matter if you like games or not, if you like a slight bit of ecchi (who doesn't? ;-) ) with a good story, you are going to like this. As a gamer like me, you are going to love it since it doesn't belittle the reasons for gaming, it embraces them.
Why I started the review with Checkmate? Watch it, embrace it.
