| My first thought is "Hagure Yuusha x SAO with loli imouto". Sora and Shiro are just so OP its unbelievable. And I like some fanservice here and there so...will continue to follow. Though I don't really like these colours, they seem to be a bit extreme at times. |

I don't get why there's so much hate for this. I personnaly really liked the start, even thought it's a bit to much like mondaijitachi^^ ^^Yep thats the one This first episode was interesting |
| COLORS (also Madhouse <3) Probably as the closest thing to Mondaiji we will get. Which is fine by me! |

| I'm not sure how long this series will remain interesting. I can't see the climatic matches being decided by anything other than luck assuming it won't be a cake walk from beginning to end. Low expectations right now, probably for the best. |

| From what I have seen up to know this look like the most promising Anime for me this season. I simply love these calm calculating characters and we even have two of them as MC. Nice. I hope they are not going to ruin this Anime. |

| great introduction, the plot seems to be very good liked the characters and voices had a lot of information in the first episode, but already has an idea of how the anime will be has everything to be one of the best of the season, it only remains to wait and see _______ ótima introdução, o enredo parece ser muito bom gostei dos personagens e das vozes teve muita informação no primeiro episódio, mas já deu uma ideia de como o anime será tem tudo para ser um dos melhores da temporada, só resta esperar para ver |

| HIGH expectations for this, the manga was really interesting and funny and the Light Novel was sooooo awesome xD Can't wait for more.. 10/10 |
 |
| Didn’t think I’d like this as much as I did. Pretty enjoyable episode, decent MC’s, nice art. Seems promising. |
| Pretty cool start though I really doubt people that smart would be just interested in games. The mains are a bit too overpowered but oh well at least the main male isn't another wuss. I'll keep watching |
| Loved it. Can't wait for the next! |
| Ho. Ly. Fuck. I'm absolutely speechless after that first episode. This is probably going to be my favourite anime that will ever exist. |

| Haha awesome first episode. Hasn't disappointed me, really liked it. Steph appears again at end of ep :) Can't wait to see the next ep XDXD |
 |
| "I'm sure they're really smart" That made me chuckle especially with the boing sound effect :P Best brother and sister ever! I'm jealous of their computer. "This game is total crap!" Lawl Damn that was an epic first episode and I liked the look of the next episode preview. |

I can't see the climatic matches being decided by anything other than luck assuming it won't be a cake walk from beginning to end. Low expectations right now, probably for the best. I was thinking that, but remember you can cheat as well, that makes this a totally different series and far more interesting. I think we are going to see a bunch of different situations where the pair figure out how the other side cheats and then takes advantage of this to win. Plus luck does have a place in many games, but not all games: this is why they started with the chess game - there is no luck nor the ability to cheat in chess (one cannot even more the pieces around because being good at chess requires that you know exactly where all your opponents pieces are on the board), so the author very quickly established that the siblings have more than luck, they have total skills as well. This bodes well for the series, as it shows that the writer has a clear understanding of where s/he wants to go. In all this show is most reminding me of Liar's Game, and that manga had enough material for 3 seasons, so I have little doubts that the writer here can make at least one season interesting. I think the element of cheating will really only exist in unofficial or less important matches (if anyone has read the source material, no need to spoil it and tell me otherwise). In the beginning, the siblings defeated the players who cheated so I doubt the author really intends to end major battles with cheating. The major matches will likely end with equal skill on both sides, but the author will likely use mind games (or abusing the god's rules) to justify one side winning over the other, but I'm speculating luck will be the go-to reason given for their inevitable losses. But over-thinking how the author will plan out the series is probably the worst thing to do on the first episode, so I'll just wait and see how it goes. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| Definitely one of the best first episodes of the season. This has potential to be magnificent. I find it interesting that people are watching an anime tagged as "ecchi" and complaining about the fanservice, did you forget what ecchi meant? Shiro is the best loli of the season so far, hands down. I was afraid I'd get stuck with Enju as the season's best, her annoying outweighs her cute, so this is very refreshing. Hoorah Shiro! I would have liked to have been shown exactly how Sora was cheating in the card game for the money, instead of just told after the fact, but hopefully that won't be a recurring theme. Stephanie showing up in the sheet probably signals that even tho Sora told her about the cheating, she probably still lost everything she had and wants Blank to help her get back at the cheaters. Should be fun. So far this one is right up there with Brynhildr in the Darkness, my list toppers for the season so far. I'll give this episode an 8/10 |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Seemed better than I expected, I'm just not sure if I like the animation. Just hope the ecchi doesn't get too bad, but it was very tame for this ep. |
| Godly ep. cant wait for the next one. xd |

Takuan_Soho said: Ineptia said: I think the element of cheating will really only exist in unofficial or less important matches I don't think so, remember how the cheating rule read, that was a huge friggin loophole that the Gaming God obviously wanted to be there, so cheating will definitely be a part, as will the ability to detect cheating and using that to one's advantage. I only think cheating won't be the deciding factor for major matches because if they have relatively equal skill, they should both be able to tell when the other side is cheating or at least know of the methods to cheat. I doubt the siblings would pull off a complex enough cheat unless they were able to recruit more members but they seem a bit too tight-knit for that. The cheating rule is a huge loophole but I'm betting rule 5 "The right of the challenged party to decide the rules of the game" to be the most abused in the major matches. But I hope it doesn't end with who has the best lawyer. |

| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| I really hope this isn't going to turn out like Mondaiji-tachi, impressive and immersing beginning and then an empty nutshell ... Well, liking it so far |
| So many annoying lolis this season... |
 |
| One of my favorite in terms of 1st episode this season so far. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| Great first episode, never had expectations so this really shocked me. |
 |
| I didn't have a ton of expectations but I was looking forward to this show and it was better than I thought it would have been. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the visuals. Looking forward to more for sure |
| fuck yes after months of waiting its already her and I LOVE IT. Strong first episode I really like characters who are already strong at the start of an anime |
| Interesting. Whoa they played 4 characters simulanously hahah. Looking forward to more. |
| 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. |
 |
| So far so good. Probably will be the one of the popular series this season. |
 |
| Oh man Shiro... another kawaii Loli ftw. I'm hoping that this series would turn out very successful. I think that this anime has a lot of potential and hopefully it'll bring it out. Also, the voice actor for Kirito is Sora!! That is so awesome, and I've noticed he's already done two "video" game style games with SAO coming up this summer. Oh another thing to bring out would be that Shiro's voice actress is also the same one for Inori from Guilty Crown so its very awesome to hear her voice again :D Hopefully this'll be a great series and I'm pretty thrilled with the first episode and at how cute Shiro is. 5/5 for this first episode of it from me. XD |

| This is interesting. At first, I thought it was going to be boring. But when they went to the new world, its got interesting as to see how life works through games. I find Shiro so adorable XD. However, what was up with that ending and Sora smiling like mad? Do they want to beat that world or something? |
| Seems like I found another season favorite and it also reminds me of "Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?". Sora and Shiro look really cool and they're very good at games and cheating as it would seem. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| A very good episode Likeable protagonists and exciting setting and is it just me or Ai Kayano and Yoshitsuku Matsuoka's voices really fit each other? I love this combo Ep 2 can't come fast enough |
| This was an amazing first episode. The new world the blank siblings live in is going to be turned on its head. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Wow, this one's going straight to the top of my list along with Brynhildr in the Darkness. Amazing first episode, interesting premise, and as others have pointed out, striking coincidences with Sword Art Online's overpowered main character's voice actor and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou's same voice actors for Sorata and Mashiro. |
 |
| Okay start,I guess.Don't really like Sora and Shiro tbh. The vivid colors seem hideous/blinding imo.And the character designs aren't that good either.Hopefully it won't take too long to get use to them. Not really much to say this seems quite forgettable. |
| Absolutely love it. People complaining about being "ecchi and for pedophiles" need to get their brain checked. There was hardly anything like that except for a few pantie shots. Anyway, good episode. |

| ...God damn, this was better than I expected. It's interesting, full of potential, and the art is GORGEOUS. I hope Sora isn't another Kirito, though. |
| Visuals were drop-dead gorgeous. It was like being on a sugar high AND a LSD trip. BOOOM |
| A Wolf Runs Free. To Dream the Impossible Dream. Skip Beat is the only Idol Anime I will ever enjoy |
| I was really hyped for this because of the AMAZINGGGGG first trailer. I was really hoping that song would be the opening or something, but it's not -__- The animation is beautiful, and the soundtrack is great too (except I wish the amazing trailer song was the OP or ED gahh). Fantasy anime is usually REALLY good, or just bla, so hopefully this is really good! |
