Sure was better than No Game No Life huh?
I watched it last year because of some nostalgia, and oh my god is it slow and repetitive. Every episode could probably get cut in half and not even lose anything important. Every character has to take a turn saying the exact same thing, and every single revelation they make felt like a no brainer.
And the ending was total bullshit. "Let's just go to a debug part of the game and just delete it!" Retarded.
I feel like it just overall could have been better in nearly every aspect.

>oh my god is it slow and repetitive.
Despite being a weeb in highschool I could never take interest in the story for that reason. I thought I was just too dumb to understand it, but in retrospect I realize it was just a very slow story. Not that that's a bad thing. I think I'll have to rewatch it, too.
Was cool when I was young, rewatched it this year after years of playing mmos and dipping my toe into game dev. 2nd viewing was horrendous. Characters stand around saying well that's how I chose to play the game again and again. The knights role playing was maximum autismo, let me just log in for a few hours and watch this gate so we can verbally warn a player about some player made suggestions in a open pvp game. Only thing this has going for it is the music.
I didn't watch no game is it really worse?

Frankly, //SIGN crosses the line between a slow story, and just wasting time. There isn't enough content for it to be as long as it is, and should have just been a 45 minute OVA or something.

I went in thinking that the Red Skull Knights were like, just NPCs, and that the girl had reached some weird level of position in the game, but NOPE, it's just a bunch of weird RPers that listen to a little girl and stop PvP bullying.
Damn son, you can start a hack thread without dissing other shows you know?
And why not go for sao when that's the easier target?

The OST is glorious.

It was about the first to address the future. A.K.A: MMORPGs.
And piece of art.

How would you even compare the two?
It was all about that comfy atmosphere anon nothing less nothing more.
I still care about the music, and the concept is still interesting...but as others have said, it's slow and boring, and despite the reasoning behind it Tsukasa's attitude is grating. I would love to see it remade in 12 episodes with some actual fight scenes, though.

Its a heavily underrated masterpiece that paved the way for the MMO anime genre
