So can't wait to see the next episode, it looks pretty interesting. xD
Woot, so happy to see this anime! xD

Sora kinda reminds me of Kelight from SAO. I have a lot of huh expectations for this show, it has a lot of potential and it's very unique.

Well, it has generic elements, and stuff I don't really like but, from what I've seen, it might have potential too. The colors are so fucking vivid though, I mean they are interesting for my brain but not for my eyes. This is Sunday Without God all over again, jeez Madhouse.

The fanservice is OK, after all is an ecchi show but you know it is always the best not to go overboard. Anyway, I really found the MC fascinating so here's a plus.

Since The Beginning, no one has ever stood in the heavens, neither you, nor I, not even God himself, but that emptiness in the throne of heaven will be filled from this day forth, i will be the one to stand in the heavens.

In a world like that, there’d be no need for love anymore either. If everyone were perfect, there would be no need to look out for others. Sympathy or love is needed because people are imperfect. A perfect human cannot love anyone.

Did any of you guys notice? It says the main character has a communication disorder. And yet he could converse with all these people who stood before his very eyes pretty naturally, even pulling off some negotiations and the like.
He did not talk to them via computer screen or anything. He had all these people right before his very eyes. Unless he was considering every single person he was talking to an NPC (the "Villager A" kind), I'm really curious how he could display such high level social skills despite his communication disorder.


Just watch the next episode. It should clear up a few things...


Can you please tell us now because I am really on a brink of dropping this anime since it really is full of naive kids wanting their own fantasy world. Add it with some fanservice. So yeah, I need some kind of explanation about his communication disorder and how the hell can you he communicate so well like it is nothing. You can put it in a spoiler tag. So please please....


I second this motion. Maybe he's brainwashing himself to believing "it's all a game" and that's allowing himself to do some crazy mental gymnastics? Somebody who cares about this story just go ahead and spill the beans already.

It might have been colorful, but the color palette was so subdued that it made it seem a whole lot worse in my opinion. The sorta pastel look it's trying to go for makes the artwork look cheap; it would have been better if it went for something more crisper or with more saturation.

I don't see why this is so viral. I think I'm going to stick to watching Jojo kick some ass this season and take a rain check on this unless the main dude gets taken down a notch.

The skill level of efficiently using 4 characters at once? = God-tier level
Absolutely amazing duo..
The colors and everything are aesthetically pleasing :)
Not gonna lie, this has got to be one of the most promising anime that came out this season. I'm really looking forward to how the OP MC (in regards to his current world) puts is skill level to use...

Interesting premise with a pretty good execution! I wasn't aware that this was an ecchi series until now, and I don't typically watch that genre, but I'm in on this one...

I can kind of relate to the main characters and their desire to leave the world, and the way they use their skills to succeed is a nice twist, as is how they don't want to go home.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with this show!

Huh? games with no strategic element at all and filled with cheating? sure it's a vibrant show but how in the world does this get an early 8.3 rating? it's not exactly an original story (Mondaiji copy much?) and the whole package seems average.

Oh well.. at least there's Yoko Hikasa. Let's see if they can make this series a little bit interesting. Hopefully there'll be more strategic elements to the games instead of using some super human power to win games. 3/10 for now.

If I'm correct, he's just socially awkward in a way that he can negotiate well if needed but can't keep up a normal conversation?

Wow. This is so like Mondaiji.

The color palette for the animation is kinda hard for the eyes since it is using so much pastel colors and no negative dark colors... it will be hard to get used to this.

Anyways, love it. Can't wait to see more.

Can't believe the big coincidence of how this is close to Sakurasou, Sora and Shiro... has the same names and even voice actors of Sorata and Mashiro. Ahhh!

It's funny, interesting, and production value is high. And the chemistry between the siblings is great too.
Likely to be my top pick for this season too.

Quite liked it because of the beautiful animation. I remembered TWGOK when Sora and Shiro said "This world is a crappy game." and even Sakurasou for the names. This will be a heck of anime this season.

I really loved this episode. Beautiful colors, adorable characters, great setting. This was what I was most looking forward to this season and I wasn't disappointed. Could do without the loli fanservice but I can look past it considering how much fun I had watching it. Will definitely be keeping up with this.

Every one has their own tastes. I don't blame you for not liking ecchi shows in general. One of the main reasons why the LN readers (Yes, the LN readers. It's getting quite common w/ baka-tsuki and all.) love the series is that the games are at least well structured. There's admittedly some need for moderate to high suspension of disbelief but a majority of the fans find the games enjoyable. They're not just a simple clash of super powers. Not to mention that humanity doesn't have any ability at all. Simply their wits and cunning.

And I guess that's the main draw of the series. Trying to win games against races who have super powers and abilities w/ intellect and guts alone and is executed in such a way that most readers find them interesting and exciting. But I know whatever I say wont change your mind so I'll end this rant here. Cheers mate.

Indeed. Cheers. Although I didn't like this just because it is ecchi...
It's just frustrating why I don't understand how people think of this anime as the best one yet.
Maybe it's because I keep comparing the situations in the anime in real life like
