And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online is at least a different kind of anime fantasy movie in terms of an actually interesting story, characters and, pleasantly, animation style which I found a bit more creative compared with the others I’ve come across.

SEASON SYNOPSIS
|
|
Ako Tamahi (RINA HIDAKA/TRINA NISHIMURA) has everything she could ever want: a wonderful husband, a cute outfit, and a guild filled with great friends. The problem? It’s not reality. It’s all in the online world of LA, Legendary Age. Unwilling to accept the truth, Ako believes that her beloved Rusian is the same as his real life counterpart, Hideki Nishimura (TOSHIYUKI TOYONAGA/DALLAS REID), which means when the guild meets face to face for the first time, she calls him her husband IRL – even at school! Worried about her inability to escape the fantasy world of LA, Hideki and the rest of the guild decide to help her adjust to reality, but that’s easier said than done. Between making the Net Game Club at school and taking an internet-free summer vacation, Ako struggles to keep up with being a normal girl while aiming to be the perfect wide for Hideki. Can she trade magic spells for social skills, or will she forever be an IRL noob? |

Overall, And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online is at least a different kind of anime fantasy movie in terms of an actually interesting story, characters and, pleasantly, animation style which I found a bit more creative compared with the others I’ve come across. This Complete Series release from FUNimation has good video and audio transfers while the features are limited but highlighted by the two commentary tracks. |
