Synopsis:
In the online game Glory, Ye Xiu is regarded as a textbook and a top-tier pro-player. However, due to a myriad reasons, he is kicked from the team. After leaving the professional scene, he finds work in an Internet Cafe as a manager. When Glory launches its tenth server, he who possesses ten years of gaming experience once again throws himself into the game. Bringing with him the memories of his past and an incomplete, self-made weapon, his return along the road to the summit begins!

Thoughts:
I came across this recently and really liked it! I was so interested that:
1) I went to read the Chinese web novel... which is long and took me 2 weeks to finish reading it.
2) Then I watched League of Legends tournament videos to see how real esports is like (Faker anyone?)
3) And now I'm on to other anime series...
Note that this is a Chinese production! It did took me a while to get used to the language because I'm so used to Japanese anime...

If you've seen this, what did you think about it? If you haven't, will you?

I've seen it.
In short: the story is bad (if you can call bad a story that is non-existent), all characters are two-dimensional with no life outside of the game.
I can't say that i liked the mix between the CGI and 'normal' animation.. well, it looks 'okay'.
Complete waste of time, if you ask for my opinion.

Thanks for the GA's.

While not the best show, it's interesting. It took me an episode to adjust to the Chinese voices, but after that, I got into it. I'm hopeful the next season gets more into the story, as the first one was a bit more barebones than SAO.

Log Horizon is still the best video game anime I've seen to date XP this one doesn't come close to challenging it.

Bump for giveaways and anime suggestion.

I agree above, Log Horizon gave me the best gaming feels.

You reminded me that I wanted to watch it. It will be interesting because it will be the first one with chinese audio I guess.

I read the web novel first and liked it, so ofc I had to watch the anime. Not the best show ever, but one of the better Chinese ones i've seen. Also being Chinese myself, I didn't have any sense of jarring that many other people are describing :D.
