Review of Recovery of an MMO Junkie

Have you ever played an MMO game, or experienced roleplaying online with people you don't know-? Have you got a feeling that urges you to know what their IRL feels like-? Or are you simply curious to know them better-? I actually felt that feeling. I won't extend my review further. We have our main character, Morioka Moriko, or simply Morimori-chan. She was a successful 30-year-old career woman who quit her job after deciding to become an elite NEET. She then decides to play Fruits de Mer, a popular MMO game and creates a male character named Hayashi. She seemed to be struggling in fighting aboss, that's when she met Lily. Hayashi and Lily become close friends and he joins her guild, HomeParty. Meanwhile, in the real world, Moriko has a chance encounter with a handsome elite company employee, Yuta Sakurai, who may have ties with her online life. I simply loved the story. It was unique and differs from many anime's relating to games.

The art is astounding. Though this is the first time I have encountered a studio called Signal.MD, I always come by to familiar studios such as KyoAni, Brains Base, and Studio I.G. But this first encounter was really fascinating, as it led me to Signal.MD's true talent in making anime, I perhaps thought the anime was really underrated. Despite having the art beautiful and flawless. I wouldn't say it exceeded as big as KyoAni but it simply just needs to be noticed. I can really see the effort being put into this anime, and I salute the animators for this. The OP is AWESOME and FITTING. It is catchy and is just simply worth not skipping for, same goes for the ED, it helps resembled the series, and is really fun to hear at. the OST is also really wonderful.

I enjoyed this series so much I had to rewatch it, with touches of humor and funny situations, I can't help but have a feeling of laughter. And also, I'm really sad that the manga discontinued, but I definitely understand. As a Philippine Otaku, I pray Rin Kokuyou you get well soon. Take your time to overcome your health problems, as we, fans of your work, will be here to support you.
