    Really funny, just wish there was a little more going on.

    Of all the rom com animes I've watched so far, this is one of the funnier ones. I appreciated how there is more of a carefree tone here and it serves as a nice relaxing experience all the way through. Of course this is all due to the characters, not only how they were written but also how they were voice acted. Both were done extremely well, and I though a majority of the characters were fun, memorable, and even relatable at times. If this ever gets a season 2 or movie, I really hope they take a little more time writing the story. The story in this season was very basic and although I liked it, it wasn't enough to fill all 12 episodes. Something else was needed, and I hope they get the chance to fix that eventually. Check this show out when you get the chance, definitely worth a watch!

    Adorable otaku related anime.

    Not typically a RomCom fan but after stumbling on it late one evening have to admit its chuckle worthy.

    With the core plot revolving on dealing with the boundary between fantasy and reality in the minds of young Otaku's handling various teen issues in real life. I can't say I relate, but the premise was well laid out and worth a few laughs.

    Pros:
    • Cute, light and funny.
    • Amusing use of cliches worked into the plot as story device.
    • Constant and good animation.
    • Good English Dubbing.
    • Moderate "Fan Service" use.


    Cons:
    • Everyone's unrealistic attractive, but then again who's watch an anime centered around ugly ducklings.

    This anime is unique, its more of a rehabilitative anime for Obsessive MMORPG gamers

    This anime meets the expectations if you are watching amines and playing video games obsessively. MC is quite a likable, the girl who fancy's MC is also cute.

    There is a lot to learn from this anime. Its also witty and humorous.

    Please note: This is by no means a major isekai genre, you could say its for people who wish to watch the side-life of people who spend their time offline playing MMORPG games.

    Imagine if you get too involved with a MMORPG game and you wish your real life wasn't dragging behind, that the take here!

    Cute anime

    I honestly thought I added a review here but anyways, its a pretty cute anime. It's like Sword Art Online but in a cutesy version. Its good to see there was gender bending being added to it.

    Good anime, highly recommend if you watch this!

    Gaming Meets Romance: A Sweet and Adorable Tale of Two Teenagers

    As an online gamer, I loved the relatable moments in this anime. Rusian's story with his adorable guildmates Ako, Akane, and Kyou had me hooked. The blurred lines between online and offline lives are expertly woven throughout. Characters are lovable, but the story's a bit lacking. 12 episodes isn't enough to explore deeper themes. Still, it's a fun watch for gamers. Don't expect profundity, but enjoy the quirks and antics. 7/10 - worth a watch, but not a must-see.

    Relatable gaming moments Lovable characters Fun, lighthearted watch Lacking in depth and exploration of themes

    Recommended for gamers looking for a lighthearted romp. Not for those seeking a deep, profound story.
