About the Anime: Sora and Shro are two hikikomori step-siblings who are known in the world as Blank, an undefeated group of gamers. One day, they are challenged to a game of chess by Tet, a god from another reality. The two are victorious and are offered to live in a world that centers around games. They accept, believing it to be a joke, and are summoned to a reality known as Disboard. There, a spell known as the Ten Pledges prevents the citizens of Disboard from inflicting harm on one another, forcing them to resolve their differences by gambling with games whose rules and rewards are magically enforced. In-game, rule enforcement only occurs when the method of cheating is acknowledged and outed by the opponent, allowing players to cheat through discreet methods. Sora and Shiro traverse to Elkia, the nation inhabited by humans, and befriend the duchess . Learning about Elkia's decline, the two participate in a tournament to determine the next ruler; after winning the crown, they earn the right to challenge the Disboard's other species as humanity's representative. Their next goal is to conquer all sixteen species in order to challenge Tet to a game; as of the sixth volume, five of the sixteen are under their control.
My Review: I loved everything about this. The plot, theme song, art design and character development.
It's worth a look at and I think it needs more recognition than it has. The subbed for this is amazing as it suits the characters very well.
I think the main thing that made me so interested in this was the unique art and character design. It definitely makes an improvement to the twelve episodes and is one of the best art designs I've seen.
I'm pretty much in love with this anime and I shall try and get a figure from it.
Main Characters:
Shiro: Sora's step-sister. Shiro and Sora work together, winning games and bets. She gets cautious whenever he is not around Sora and finds it incredibly hard to concentrate.
Sora: Shiro's step-brother. Sora and Shiro travel to Elkia and compete in competitions, using their knowledge. Sora, same as Shiro, despises his sibling's absence and has panic attacks when she leaves for too long.
Stephanie Dola: The previous King of Elkia's granddaughter. Stephanie has trouble winning games and finds herself encountering Sora and Shiro. From then she gains knowledge about winning games and wants to help using that ability.
