Kay, I'll admit it. At first I found this anime very original but lack excitation. At some point I found it hard to keep up with or have time after 5 or 6 episode because I prioritized other anime such as Boku wa Tomodachi or Sakurasou that also started during the winter season anime. Therefore I started watching those I put first on the list and got too lazy to watch the rest.

However, recently after most of the Fall/Winter anime ended, I kinda ran out of anime to watch. And I happened to catch a glimps of this wonderful anime again so I thought to myself "what the heck."

If anyone of you are familiar to Stein Gate, this anime is also familiar to it. It started slow and painful in the beginning but picked up really fast and furious after 7 or 8 episode. My my, how was I wrong about this anime. Not only this anime played with your mind quite a bit, it also packed with a load of action. The main protagonist which are the 2 boys who resemble the character from The Tempest by William Shakespere was such character I've rarely see in anime these days.

I wont go into details but this anime was such a pleasure to watch after you get through all the introduction. The art was beautiful, music was a pleasure and the character drastically changed during the course of the anime like you've ever seen before. There are some cute/comedic moments with the so called "Princess" and the player Yoshino but that was very very cute to watch.

Although I must say the final fight was somewhat Anticlimactic and in my heart somewhere, I wish it could have been Yoshino and Mahiro who had the power to save the world, I must say that Megumu did a decent job in ending it since he also had a character development despite the small role he had. This ending was probably one of my most favorite during the course of this season anime. You can vividly see the change in character in both which Mahiro and Yoshino after swallowing the fact that Aika had died.

Long story short, the ending was pretty perfect and happy. And this anime is very educational as well teaching all those who isnt familar with the infamous Hamlet and Tempest.
