In short, I found this as unnecessary, though after watching the entire thing, my score went up significantly.
There was no story, first off. If you’re new to the world of anime, then this might surprise you, thought the word ‘recap’ should be pretty self explanatory. This is simply going over the last 5 episodes. There is pretty much nothing new in here at all except the commentary-- which is grating and annoying, in my opinion.
The animation was very well done, as usual. It’s clean, beautiful, and nice to look at. In some ways, it makes up for the shitty storyline.
The sound so far has

been great. The opening and closing haven’t really grown on me all that much, but the background music, sound effects, and voice actors are all great, so there isn’t really anything major to complain about.
In all honesty, I think my commenting on the characters would be biased since I don’t really expressly like most of them. This is a recap too, so I doubt anything I say will be any different than the way the characters are portrayed in the full series.
I had taken a month long break (due to work and lack of time) from anime in general so I had seen episode 5 and didn’t really get around to watching anything until episode 9 was already out. I had a pretty solid understanding of what happened, but I watched this just to make sure, but it was honestly a waste of my time. All you need to know is that LENN and M won SJ. That’s pretty much it. In terms of enjoyment, I did have fun watching the spoofs at the end and how the author parodied himself, which is what made this recap redeemable.
I would recommend this if you: like GGO and took a LONG break between the 5th and 6th episode, like spoofs (just watch the few minutes after the credits then), love GGO so much that you just want to relive it in a shorter timespan
I would NOT recommend this if you: are watching episode 5 and 6 in succession, aren’t a big fan of spoofs, don’t have time to rewatch things/time to spare, don’t like GGO all that much
Have a great day everyone!
