Seriously, Why is this Score So Low?! An Actual Hidden Gem!
Overall Rating: 9/10
OKAY can we just talk about how this show has a 6-something on here?? Ngl, that's a total crime. I clicked on this show expecting some generic, mid-tier rom-com and I was SO wrong. I’m writing this review because I need more people to watch this masterpiece of chaos.
If you love stuff like Konosuba, you will literally love this. It’s got that same chaotic energy where every episode is pure comedy gold. The jokes aren't just random; they're super relatable if you've ever played an MMO. The lag, the endless grinding for items that never drop, the one person who accidentally logs out during a boss fight... I felt SO seen. Even the ecchi moments are played for laughs instead of just being lazy fan service, whic…

Ok…… I hope that anyone who sees this knows they must run—not walk—in the opposite direction. I’m a romance anime guru of the great and holy CPT. I’ve watched the most rotten of the rotten brain rot, and the most holy purification of juicy goodness. Yet somehow… this falls below the ranking system.
I rank this a 1, because there is nothing slower. I feel sorry for the animators who had to spend months staring at these characters. I feel sorry for the voice actors who had to breathe life into this disaster. And finally, I feel sorry for the mangaka, who looked at this idea and said: “Yes, this should be real.”
This is one of the most compelling cases for why humans should not have free will. Bro let his intrusive thoughts cook raw chicken, and somehow it got greenlit. In my hometown, I am…

I watched this anime in May 2023 and my God was it refreshing.
I'm not going to put icing on my words, the plot isn't great, a lot of plot points just get dropped after a few episodes. The plot isn't a literary master piece. But that's not what it's about for me.
I began watching anime back in 2016 and watching this anime was like opening a time capsule. This show captured every trope the typical male lead surrounded by females do stupid stuff while progressing the plot 1 step in 13 episodes really well.
From the art style and sound choices to the character writing and dialogue it just feel so nostalgic. I don't know if this anime is even any good compared to the other shows released at the time. But I just felt happy turning my brain off and staring at the screen while these characters…

There's nothing inherently *wrong* with [Excessively Long Anime Title Anime]. If you're into game-type series with a lot of physics-defying high school grills then I expect you'll get value from the twelve episodes. So, worth watching? Not really. It was never bad enough for me to drop it, but the last three episodes had me watching on half the screen while researching grilling tips for my Grillmaster™ 5000™ and sorting my extensive collection of Grill™ Images™ on the other.
It's not really a harem anime because there's only one grill in the running, but the other collection of QTs stick around the boring protagonist like gum on the bottom of a school desk put there by some random Stacy while she blew Chad Penninghampgoldworthton and then forgotten about just like her prescription for Zov…

When I first saw this anime come up as a recommendation I thought it would be a underwhelming copy of the SAO franchise but after watching the first few episodes I found myself laughing out loud and engrossed in the storyline.
A great look on how online gaming can shape our lives today.
The Intro and Outro are super catchy!
It didn't matter what episode I was on, I found enjoyment. The character development in game and out of game was very well progressed. (If it was an event in the game or out the game)
Every character had an equal shine in the limelight so you could connect with each one.
A very funny and light hearted anime series which I would recommend to anyone looking for something to watch in between the SAO franchise.

When I started watching this show at a friends place because we had nothing better to do, I didn't expect to like it all that much if at all. Now a week later I can say that this show has become one of my all-time favourites.
Now I'll be the first to admit that this show does heavily follow cliches of it's genre, but really thats not an entirely bad thing as it does those cliches very well. From the characters to the story, even if I had seen it before somewhere else, this show just does it better. That said even when the story does cliches well, it's still not that strong and if you want a good story, don't come looking here.
The characters though, that is where the show shines like a diamond. The characters despite a few being cliche, are all incredibly enjoyable and fun. Ako, the mai…

I can’t even believe I forced myself to see the entire show just because I hate do drop shows. I always believe in giving it a chance but this… oh man, what a waste of my time.
I knew from the beginning that this was just another anime embracing the gaming idea that seems too popular nowadays. However, I believed I would see characters development or anything besides the annoying fanservice.
Instead, I get a story of a useless character Nishimura (Rusian) and his mentally ill girlfriend Ako with some other characters that were not really needed to this… lack of plot.
So, let’s talk about Ako, one of the most dreadful characters I have ever seen. She cannot distinguish reality from the game they all play. That would be just “great” for itself but there is more. Ako thinks that she is rea…

Thoroughly enjoyed this 10/10 don't fight me on this. Only problem was that 12 episodes was too short and the ending seemed slightly rushed. 13 episodes would have been perfect to wrap it all up although i'd have been cool with 20+ also. Your typical slice of life/school romance comedy anime although with a unique twist in regards to the storyline. Yes it had your standard Online gaming theme in it as well however it's take on it was different from other anime in this genre and quite comedic that kept me smiling throughout. No it's not top tier in its art or animation and if i had to break it down piece by piece it would probably be a 6 but my overall enjoyment of this anime is what made me give it a 10 for the simple fact that its a feel good anime that makes you happy and keeps things in…

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta had a very interesting concept, plot, story and more importantly nice cast of characters.
I think what I liked most about this title, the story specifically, is that no matter what episode I was watching I always had some sort of sense of enjoyment. Seeing the characters progress through certain events both inside and outside the game. I think that character development & growth was a big part of the story due to each character having some sort of social problem however, I'd like to discuss this more in the character department rather than story.
Sudden plot development and story development, I felt like the way both were introduced came off as weak and somewhat uninteresting.. The lack of exciting new developments in the shows story-line act…

"You Thought Your Online Game Wife Wasn't A Girl?" or "And you thought there is never a girl online?" (Yeah, these are two possible translations of the name to english, well, it fits perfectly) from studio: Project No.9, isn't the most piece of art on the planet and still its not an trash, because if the class teacher is the most kawaii person in this anime, well then... idk, nevermind. The story takes place in this modern time, so don't look for mechas or magicians, magicians can be found only in the scenes where our "main characters" are playing an MMO game named: Legendary Age (LA). The game revolves around the whole, at least most of the whole anime. Reminds me of SAO, anyone? Except that here they dont put on headset but playing in safe of home before the monitor. Our main characters…

I think a lot of people get the wrong idea about this anime revolving around an MMO instead of realizing that for the most part the anime focused more on the nuance of MMO players rather than the actual game. The whole anime is meant to create a variety or characters who each take different (and often opposing) standpoints on gaming and helps to make the characters feel more unique as well as creating interesting dialog. I personally love the plot of the show but believe that the ending has a weak buildup and during the end their choice to focus actual story time on the game was a wasted effort considering how generic the game they play actually is. Other than the occasional moments where they focus more on the game and less on each other this anime has a pretty solid plot and some minor c…

If you're looking for a time-killer, Netoge would be a reasonable choice.
However, Netoge is just that. A time-killer and nothing more.
[Story: 3/10]
Looking back, it's quite difficult to pinpoint what exactly the plot is (although there was plenty of "plot", that's not what I'm talking about).
Netoge is not story-driven, but chooses to focus on the comedic-slice-of-life route. Unfortunately, the comedy is very lacking, so all you get is slice-of-life.
[Art & Animation: 5/10]
The art style is acceptable. Although I mostly enjoy how many of the characters appear, sometimes they do appear a bit odd.
Whether you want the fanservice or not, Netoge often cuts to strange camera angles for "that sideboob".
The fighting scenes and such were a joy to watch, but fluidity isn't anything to write…

Netoge is an anime adaptation of a series of light novels that tries to hide the fact that is yet another addition to the harem genre. To the high-school, harem, ecchi genre to be precise. There is a Greek proverb that roughly translates to: “The prostitute wants to hide, but the enjoyment doesn't let her” and that applies here; Netoge doesn't delve deep into the harem genre as, for instance, Nisekoi, or to the ecchi genre as Shuffle, but, believe me, it enjoys being in the company of both.
Continuing on rough translations; the title means: “And You Thought There Is Never a Girl On-line?“ you can probably guess that the anime tries hard to prove that notion wrong. The protagonist is the stock, average, good-natured boy, whose main hobby is playing a popular MMORPG. An off-line meeting of…

*will edit when i find my Tamaki Ako
Yes, is the answer to the title of this anime
As a veteran mmorpg gamer, mountain dew runs through my blood and i must say i have done some regrettable things pretending to be a female to get some of those premium items
Plot : What can i say, as a neck beard, this plot is something i have dreamed about
We have our innocent MC being approached by a girl that would devour him if that would mean they would be together forever inside her stomach but a traumatic experience ruins his opportunity to get it in. Some twists and turns occur and they me meet in real life, proving his in game wife is indeed a solid 9/10 on the loli index
There isn't a harem tag for this anime, but let me be clear the MC is a weakling and what do we know about weaklings,they make…

Have you ever wondered what girls in the internet are like in real life? Well, this anime shows you just that, but with a twist. If you think the internet is just full of GIRLs (guys in real life), then let this show prove you otherwise.
If the title isn't an accurate description, then let me summarize the plot. It revolves around Rusian, a guy who got rejected by a character in an MMORPG. The reason: the character was guy in real life. Many of us can relate to this situation. And that's enough reason to watch the show. Then he meets another girl in the game and then they meet in real life. And just like that, they're married. Now, this is pretty much a one-in-a-million occurrence, but it's nice to see how it might look like if couples online become couples in real life. It's cute.

There are some series that leaves an impact on the consumer, whether positive or negative, influencing or degrading, enjoyable or painful. They fall into a specific spectrum of very good or very bad. But then there are the in-betweeners, some which have good qualities but still missed their mark more times than acceptable, or are of the “so bad, it's good” due to managing to hold on to some charm that saves it from the trash bin. Others, however, manage to find comfort in the very middle by just “being there”, not picking a side and not making an impression good or bad enough to be properly labeled at a glance. These get glossed over easily enough that one would really have to be paying attention or actively looking to notice them.
Such is the case of “Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to…

Being unable to discern the difference between fantasy and reality is a fear that many a critic of games and other fictional media frequently purport. You see it on the news every now and then, how someone committed a murder that mimicked an event they saw in a game, and that violent fiction spurs one on to commit villainous deeds since they don't realise that it actually has some real life consequences. Yet little do they touch on the other effects that it might have; they only latch onto and showcase the most awful examples in an effort to definitively prove their case. Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? (And you thought there was never a girl online?) is a fun little anime that touches on this in a more positive spin. Centring on a group of highschool gamers going by the onlin…

Netoge is the type of show where it’s pretty much every school, game tropes, and roleplay coming together in one package. The English title is “And you thought there is never a girl online?” The first thought that popped into my head reminds me of the second season of Sword Art Online. To sum it easily, it’s a show that blends fantasy and reality. From the real life perspective that shifts into the MMO world, Netoge is probably a show you’ll enjoy if you’re familiar with storytelling related to such themes. Otherwise, this could just be another blend LN adapted series that serves no more than eye candy.
In terms of story, the show should be taken more as a comedy, almost like a type of satire. Because let’s face it, the show itself isn’t based on characters playing as saviors to defeat so…

Oh, great. Another light novel adaptation with a harem, a stupidly long title that nobody in their right mind would want to pronounce, and a story revolving around MMOs. The anime industry clearly hasn't had enough of those.
It would be one thing if Netoge was just more run-of-the-mill mediocrity, but it instead goes all the way in being silly tripe. This is an anime where the protagonist's entire set of friends in an online game just so happen to be attractive (in some cases, popular) girls who, conveniently, attend the exact same high school and know him personally, including a twintailed tsundere and his in-game waifu who immediately clings all over him and proclaims herself his wife, despite not actually knowing anything about who he is in the real-world. If you were to drop the show…

People, calm down. This series is simply a bad/mediocre.
Too much generic things.
It has the basic elements of romance + ecchi comedy.
Not much to stand out, see it relaxed, almost to do with the brain off.
A series opportunely created from role-playing games online.
He has the male lead semi virgin.
The beautiful girl with some traumas.
The tsundere friend.
The older friend that might not exist. And a teacher but also contributes little.
the secondary character who could have got something to show ... disappears fast ...
