I'm a fan of isekai stories, and I do think that this isekai was one of the most unique that I've ever seen. The art was gorgeous, the games showcased were diverse and intriguing, and the major characters were all fairly well-written.
But even with all that I can praise it for, I still couldn't come out of it enjoying it very much. It might be how much of a tease the ending was. It could be how toothless the whole thing was, since you always knew Sora and Shiro could never lose.
I'd be thrilled to see a season 2. Maybe that would retroactively make season 1 better, idk.
