Review of Recovery of an MMO Junkie

Net-juu no Susume: Short Review Positives: Characters - The characters come across as quite genuine to who they are. Which makes following them quite easy both as their online persona and real life selves. Story - The story had a good flow to it and felt quite organic as it progressed. Opening Song - Personally, I really enjoyed the song. Maybe even more than the current season's favourite of "My hero" from Inuyashiki. It fits the overall mood of the anime and sets it up well.Negatives:

Social Awkwardness - Due to the show taking place between an MMO game and real life. It defaults the main character of Moriko to the socially awkward personality during the real life segments. Some people are like that but it does seem to be a trend of someone who plays a game has to be socially awkward outside of the game within anime.

Not Positive or Negative things:

Art Style - The art style is fine overall, no complaints about it but nothing particularly good.

Sound - None of the sounds within the show were out of place, but nothing really stood out apart being very generic sounds that you would usually hear.

Overall Score: Recommended

The show as a whole works quite well. The story progresses in a way that seems somewhat organic. With an ending that may not be satisfying to some but gives enough progression that I enjoyed it, plus gives a nice way to end the season. The characters aren't over blown personalities, which fits the show, as they come across more realistic that way. While the social awkwardness at times is a bit off putting to me, it helps with the comedy for those who enjoy that kind of comedy. The opening song I really liked, while the ending song wasn't bad as well. The art style and sound aren't amazing, but it does what it needed to be for this kind of anime which is basically serviceable.
