I expected a very standard 'hunger-games-esque' type show. It really surprised me how much I enjoyed it. The MC has a steady development throughout and ends on a good note. I hope a season 2 releases one day but for now the existing content is satisfaction enough.
I think anyone who enjoyed things like Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) or just standard last man standing/king of the hill types, will enjoy this anime. The pacing is good. The characters are interesting enough. And just the addition of unique powers per player adds an almost unlimited potential of possibilities for unseen characters in the future. Though I think the manga may have finished?
The story isn't complex at all, it's straightforward and easy to keep up with.
Episodes feel short though, like you blink and they're over because it's such a steady flow of content. A rarity in many of the more recent years of animes. It's great to kill time waiting for a friend to come online! Though you may end up binging it all.
