There's something about this anime- every episode brings a new set of emotions. There are times when I find myself smiling for no reason (it has a warmth and innocence to it that just makes me happy). There are times when I'm yelling out at the characters- I'm that engrossed in the storyline! It's just a beautiful story that brings you deep into the psyche of each character- you feel their joys, sadness, stress and mental anguish as they try to win this insanely difficult game. Never have I been so engrossed in an anime about a game! I look forward to each episode.
