Seriously, this should be renamed to Serial Rapist Online. The anime starts out so well! People are trapped in a MMORPG and need to win in order to get out. Should be fun right? Well, it is fun exactly until the main hero wins that game. After that story arc, get ready for the story to be ruined with rape scenes. There's going to be 2 story arcs after the 1st one, which are simply ruined by the needless harassment scenes. I'm okay with fan service, but this isn't fan service, this is messed up! God, it was disgusting!
After that however, the last 2 story arcs are perfect. I swear to god I was so happy they didn't ruin those, especially the last one. I almost cried. They're full of feels and tears. Gee, why did it take them so long to get it right? At times it did feel like they were going a bit overboard, but it somehow suited the whole setting.
If it wasn't for these last two stories, I'd probably give this a score below 5, because the anime really doesn't offer much else. The fights are well animated, but there's not much to them besides eye candy. Naturally, as a reward, the hero gets his harem, too! Just thinking about the sheer amount of wasted potential this anime had makes me mad.
Nevertheless, it's still very good and enjoyable to watch. If all else fails, just skip the lewd stuff in the episodes, because the second half of the second season is where the fun is. Because of those last 2 story arcs it is worth watching.
One more minor thing about one of those story arcs though: one of them did feel like a filler. For once the characters were playing some MMORPG just for the fun of it and nothing of big importance happened. Some could consider it boring, but in the context of this anime, I was just glad I finally got something normal.
Here's hope they don't mess up season 3.
