Preliminary (8/11 eps)
I don't normally post reviews before I finish the anime, but I feel particularly bad for DG. It has a tiny studio for a decently well liked manga, and is rated fairly low, even though I think the studio is doing pretty well, and I want to give it the love it deserves.

** Minor Spoilers **

Story: 7/10

As far as I'm concerned, the story is good. It's fast paced, progressive and doesn't miss out too much detail. It bases around Kaname Sudo, a student who was accidentally roped into Darwin's Game, and now has to survive and complete the game, saving everyone in it. You may be thinking SAO, but this isn't an isekai, and the pacing is much better.

Art: 7/10

I'll mention animation here too. The art and animation are both very standard. However, this is a small studio. I think considering what they were working with, it works well. Action scenes look really good, even if some other scenes are a little choppy.

Sound: 7/10

There is literally only one reason why I didn't rate this 10. But I'll explain that in a second.
The sound works well most of the time, and really fits in battle scenes. The OP works well too.
The ED is why I rated this lower. It doesn't suit at all most of the time. But it isn't the biggest problem for me, even if it is for someone else.

Character: 7/10

As of right now, there are some characters that aren't too well developed. However, it's not the end, so I'll give this the benefit of the doubt. The characters who have been developed, however, are very interesting and I enjoy watching them.
Kaname hasn't really had development about his past, but his character and personality have developed well, as he changes a lot from the start to where I am now.

Enjoyment: 7/10

I find this very fun to watch personally. I like the characters and the story, so it works.

Overall: 7/10

Like I said, I wanted to give the studio some love. DG is a really good anime in my opinion, but it's a shame the studio is so small.
