With a small audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and action fans.

- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 4 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Kaname, upon launching the app, is drawn into a game where players fight one another using superpowers called Sigils. Without knowing the reason for all this, can Kaname survive furious battles against the powerful players who attack him?
