Hewwo, hewwo! How are you, today? I’m going to review Recovery of an MMO Junkie/ Net-juu no susume.

SUMMARY

First of all, let’s give you a brief summary of this amazing show. Here is the summary from Wiki: Moriko Morioka is a 30-year-old successful career woman who decides to quit her taxing corporate job. She becomes an elite NEET and finds a more fulfilling life. She joins an online MMORPG Fruits de Mer. After this creates a male character named Hayashi as her avatar. Hayashi meets another character Lilly, a high-level player who helps him learn the game. Hayashi and Lilly become close friends and Hayashi joins Lilly’s guild, @HomeParty. Meanwhile, in the real world, Moriko has a chance encounter with a good-looking elite company employe., Yuta Sakurai, who may have ties to her online life.

OPINIONS OF NET-JUU NO SUSUME

Okii, let’s move on to my opinions. I love Recovery of an MMO Junkie/Net-juu no susume. It is definitely not an anime for everyone because it isn’t crazy or such. Here are the genres: slice of life, comedy, and romance. So, if you like your dark fantasy, horror, and thrillers… This anime is not for you. Obviously, a part of this anime is based on MMOs. Multiplayer online game, not some crazy drug but you don’t need to know much about or like games to enjoy this anime. This anime has subtle romance, unfortunately.  You can see their relationship building up every episode, which just adds to how amazing this anime is. The anime is easy to watch as it has a simple plot. It doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.

 

ABOUT SAKURAI AND MORIOKA

The main character -Morioka- is relatable. Due to the fact that she spends most of her time online, playing games and socializing online. She only goes outside for necessities and is awkward and anti-social. Sakurai is not an expert in relationships and like Mori, an awkward human. The characters don’t get together but silently love each other and sorry for any disappointments, but they don’t kiss or do some crazy stuff.

CHARACTER/OVA

True, the anime includes some unbelievable coincidences (therefore it’s amusing) such as Mori and Sakura playing together in the MMO and suddenly meeting in real life. It’s hard to find an anime about a 30-year-old NEET, I usually forget Mori is 30 until it’s mentioned in the anime, it seems like she’s younger sometimes. I’ve watched the OVA recently, (came out on Friday) and I was impressed. Usually, OVAs come out a couple months afterward but we didn’t have to wait, which was good. The OVA was split into two parts, Morioka building her computer with Sakurai and a dream of her living in Fruits de Mer. In this part of the OVA, she is set on a quest to rescue Princess Sakura from the Demon King (Koiwai. (https://www.etutorworld.com) ) Koiwai is Sakurai’s outgoing, relaxed friend and I must admit I disliked Koiwai until recent episodes.

CONCLUSION

To conclude, Recovery of an MMO Junkie/Net-juu no susume will not be the best of the best anime you have ever seen yet it will definitely reach your good anime list. In addition, as I have mentioned before, it’s not for everyone. I hope you may view this anime in a different way and maybe watch if you haven’t  ~

What are your thoughts on this anime?
