Related to my last
post, if anyone wants to watch a show about a 30ish awkward depressive geek
girl simultaneously falling for a guy IRL due to happenstance and unknowingly befriending him in an MMO, I highly suggest Recovery of an MMO Junkie (which
drives me bonkers b/c that’s a completely inaccurate translation, but what can
you do).Refreshing aspects:
- Protagonist is female and above 15. (30, to be exact. Shocking.)
- Disorganized, unkempt, baggy eyes, stays up all night. Doesn’t like talking to people.
- Basically, BIG MOOD™.
- The guy is younger than her (2 years).
- Said guy plays an unsexualized female healer and the girl plays
a male tank.- It is not VR, and nobody is stuck there.
- Tons of poking fun at MMO tropes.
tl;dr I love it and if you’re looking for a fresh take on slice of life or MMO/game anime, this is it.
oh sweet
