Reassurances
Socially inexperienced, the main character had a great charm about her. Her simple enjoyment, the details of Japan, the casual art style were quite charming. And then the coincidences began to appear. But it was the manipulation that infuriated me. The "good" guy, the "bad guy", all the guys... I had to stop watching the series - watched the entirety of two other anime before returning to this one, in fact. But return to this series I did. And I'm glad. It lives on coincidence, piles on a bit of troubling balance of reality and gaming. And then confession wars with the shy natured mains. But all with positiveity. This short series renewed my faith in it. More happens, very quickly, reassurances abound, and I enjoyed being hurled along with the main characters. They grew in a short time, and I could feel the hints of long association strongly. The series accomplished a great deal, and despite - or because of - the punch in the face balanced against the care the series actually has for all of its characters, it became an instant classic for me. It actually has multiple endings, and could have stopped at any point, and finally ends without a real ending at all. Weird. I'd definitely like for the series to be extended. It screams with potential.

When Games Become Your Life
This product comes with Blu-ray and DVD containing all 11 episodes. English dub is the default, along with Japanese audio.This anime has the same setup as 'And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?', only with adults coming together through online gaming rather then high schoolers. There is no real conflict in this anime outside of mild social awkwardness. The protagonist is a thirty year old woman with no self-confidence in herself and no job. She retreats to MMO gaming and through gameplay, befriends a number of players who she interacts with in real life without knowing. She has a budding friendship with another player who through chance events and third party interference are able to connect in the real life.Its a fun and calm anime. The humor is there but is tamer then that of 'And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?'. The funniest episode has to be the last one. One joke follows after another. A lot of folks may not be able to enjoy this anime because it is a calm show. There is no action to keep a viewer engaged unless you are into rom-coms. There is a decent ending and I was left saying: 'That was a nice story'.

Good watch
Opposite of your typical stuck in a video game genre. About a girl trying to get out of fake life into real life. An entertaining watch.

Arrived broken but best contents are fine.
Arrived with a broken case. Not a big deal for me because the art wasn't damaged (if it was, I'd have an issue with it), but just figured I'd leave that comment so people would be aware of this possibility.

Great Show
The only downside is, that the writer Rin Kokuyō of the manga got sick, and they ended the series a little early. But I have read that Mr. Kokuyō may have recovered enough to start working again. Since this was a big hit, there is a great chance if Mr. Kokuyō does start working on this again, we could get a season 2.

Great Anime for Grownup Gamers
This story isn't like the typical anime where the main character is stuck in the virtual game and has to deal with their new life. Those shows are fun too, this one is just different.This is about people who have regular lives they're trapped in, and keep using the outlet of an online game to connect with others. There's a few easy twists you'll see coming, but it's overall a feel-good "slice of life" show that'll keep pulling you in after each episode.Very mild traditional "fanservice", but very big on fanservice of the heart.You'll probably watch the whole series on this thing in a day or two :)

原作が未完で終わっているのでこちらで補完できるので素晴らしい作品です。
ただ、 櫻井孝宏の不祥事のせいで桜井 優太が喋る度に不倫しているんだろ~とか、盛岡 森子が相手か…と過るので正直、そこが欠点です。その為、☆一つ減らしました。

Love the anime!
This anime has a very nice love story! The characters are all lovable and somewhat realistic! I saw it in english and in Japanese and they're both decently voice acted! It's totally worth purchasing and adding to the collection

An elite Neet!!!!
Love this slice of life anime. It takes a twist from where I thought it was going to end up. The characters are portrayed in a real light, but the show doesn't take itself too seriously. Recommended for anyone who has been stuck in a virtual world and has trouble dealing with the real one.
