Why It Rocks

 * 1) A concept between two genius shut-ins get transported to another world and must find their way to defeat the god of games in order to become king and queen of the game world is interesting.
 * 2) Amazing animation made by MadHouse, a very loved animation studio.
 * 3) Likable characters like Shiro, Sora, Stephanie Dola, .etc.
 * 4) Good voice acting. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Sora, (Kazuto Kirigaya from Sword Art Online and Kanda Sorata from The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall) Ai Kayano as Shiro, (Mashiro Shiina from The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall and Alice Zuberg from Sword Art Online: Alicization) Yoko Hikasa as Stephanie Dola (Kyouko Kirigiri from Danganronpa, Weiss Schnee in the Japanese dub of RWBY, Rias Gremory from High School DxD) Rie Kagamiya as Tet, (Taiga Aiska from Toradora and Juuzo Suzuya from Tokyo Ghoul) and many more.
 * 5) Includes Pop culture references to media like Persona 4, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steins;Gate, Doraemon, and more.
 * 6) Funny humor.
 * 7) It spawned a movie which made it good if not amazing.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While Caitlyn French is a great English voice casting choice for Shiro, she sounds older than an average 11 year old.
 * 2) Stephanie Dola is sometimes treated as the show's punching bag.
 * 3) The fanservice of underage characters such as Shiro can make people feel uncomfortable.
 * 4) Not only it had 12 episodes, the series left off with a cliffhanger.
