One of the greatest anime I've ever since. Not my favorite, but still a good one.

Story - This anime didn't bother showing much of a plot twist, instead they focused on their own plot. Unlike other animes (I won't mention names) that gives a lot of Plot Twist to act complicated but they're actually nothing serious. As for how things, like strategies, works out during battles, they also didn't bother over-complicating stuffs. They used the most common tactic in the MMORPG world, "Switch". It brings out the intensity of a battle to you.

Dialogue - I'd say that this was done pretty well, they put out some balance throughout the characters.

Animation - I'm sure you'll know right away when you watch this anime, the animation is at least "good" for an anime at this time and day.

Entertainment - They did a great job balancing the actions, jokes, drama, and fanservices.... Well, maybe too much fanservice at a "bad time". They also didn't "over-complicate" things such as the plot and strategies unlike some animes. They know their limit and maximize what they have with this type of anime.

Overall, I'd say this is a really great anime. Sure, sometimes they focus on too much fanservice, which can be a bit annoying, but they tend to stay on topic, one is the "MMORPG", which you can learn about or relate.
