outfit, and a guild filled with great friends. The problem? It\u2019s not reality. It\u2019s 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 \u2013 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\u2019s easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>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?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td id=\"review-content2\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This four-disc set (2 BDs, 2 DVDs) comes housed in an HD Keep Case and a semi-glossy <strong>slip cover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Episode 03 Commentary<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 Chris George (voice director), Mallore Rodak (voice of Kyo Goshoin), Jad Saxton (voice of Akane Segawa) and Monica Rial (voice of Yui Saito)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Episode 05 Video Commentary<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 Chris George, Trina Nishimura (voice of Ako) and Dallas Reid (Hideki)<\/p>\n<p>Also included is a <strong><u>Promo Video (0:44; HD)<\/u><\/strong>, <strong><u>Music Video Promo (3:11; HD)<\/u><\/strong> for \u201c1st Love Story\u201d, <strong><u>Commercial Selection (1:25; HD)<\/u><\/strong> and finally <strong><u>Textless Opening and Closings<\/u><\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ZYrhI8Q.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-screencapture aligncenter\" title=\"And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ZYrhI8Q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5, AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td id=\"review-content2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">FUNimation releases <strong><em>And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?<\/em>: The Complete Series<\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with 1080p high-definition transfer and in its original 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio.
