Netojuu no susume

Sweet, funny and characters you can relate to if you have spent half your life in MMOs. I loved the atmosphere of the whole series and found myself wishing it had a ton more seasons... that said, I think the one season do well as a stand alone season. What a gem this was... a real find for me at least.

I came for the MMO, but stayed for the incredible story that raided me unexpectedly. This is a beautiful story about two players who learn to play an MMO together... but things take an unexpected twist early on in the show. I can't say much more about this Anime without spoiling it, so I guess you're just going to have to take my word for it... Just be sure to stick around for episode 4. I found myself laughing, clapping, and almost falling over in embarrassment for the characters multiple times... I only planned on watching a few episodes, but I was unable to stop once I started, finishing the entire Anime in one sitting... I loved it!

Some of the cons you might find depending on your taist: Most of the anime takes place outside of the MMO, so if the MMO aspect is all you are here for you may be disappointed. The coincidences are very strong in this show, but I still had a wonderful time watching it.

When it came out it was the best romance anime of the season. It had a nice soundtrack, lovable characters and in my eyes also a satisfying conclusion.

Fun to watch for all romance fans out there. Don't let this opportunity slide!

This was a fun and pretty silly show, but one that I enjoyed.

If you hate romantic comedies, than you probably will not like this show, as that is kind of the focus of the 10 episode season. It was fun for me, personally, to follow a 30 year old female protagonist. She was a unique and interesting character to watch develop, and her problems felt authentic. Go Morimori!

I was a bit disappointed in the game universe. Although the MMO, Fruits de Mer, was a big part of the show, it wasn't a really developed game. It seemed somewhat like WoW I guess, but the mechanics were not really explored much. Instead, it was more a backdrop for social dynamics.

All in all, it was a fun anime to watch, and I'd recommend it to someone wanting to watch something less serious and feel-good. 8/10

As a short 13 episode show, Recovery of an MMO Junkie actually makes me want to see more. This anime could be seen as a standard romance, but in my opinion its the little things and the characters in particular that make this one stand out. The main character is very interesting to me as on the surface she can seem a bit depressed but in actuality she just has her preferences for what she enjoys, which I think most viewers can connect to. The rest of the cast serves their purpose, but outside the main guy and his best friend the rest are a bit forgettable. I also really like the opening and ending songs, and they work well setting the tone for what your watching. Out of all the anime I've seen so far, this one lands in the top half and I would recommend you give it a try.
