Here it is. I feel like I'd seen this before..
I think I watched it in the past but I'd forgotten. I was reminded of this anime from seeing it on a friend's list here on this site.. I'd remembered playing the games and wanted to give the anime a shot.
Wow. Just wow.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to anime. The gory, crazy stuff doesn't really do it for me. The darker stuff, not so much. I'd never been tempted to write a review before, but after finishing this engaging anime in < 3 days, I felt compelled to.
...
My friend didn't seem to like it as much as I did.
Story:
The story revolves around a character named Tsukasa who, by an "accident", becomes trapped inside an online game called "The World". Trapped meaning he cannot log out.
Art:
The art style .. really isn't *that* good. It seems dated. However, I've always been a proponent of "graphics don't make the game" and that is obviously the case here.
Sound:
Alright. I wish I could give this more than a 10. The music in this show is OUTSTANDING. I don't think I've EVER heard better music in an anime.
Character:
The characters are deep and engaging, all having their own extremely defined personalities.
Enjoyment:
I'm not really even sure why I'm addressing this, but, hey. I was so engaged I watched the entire series in less than 3 days.
Overall:
One of the best animes I've ever seen. It's dark, deep, engaging, mysterious, fun.. and the list goes on and on and on.
