"Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?" - pretty interesting title, which represented by truly cute girl Ako.
For sure, I'm not watching currently airing animes, because I'm of this type who prefer to watch something without breaks, without waiting, etc.:
But I was sick and need to watch something what will calm me down after all exams I had last week. I've chosen "Netoge".
I was enjoying it from the first episode till last I can see at the moment. The first thing which caught my attention was plot, story and idea. Of course I'm talking about "this" plot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - just kidding, or maybe not xD. Seriously - the idea and plot caucht me upand I have to say that it's pretty nice. Playing games, MMO genre, girl with a problem and the guy who has to help her. Ok. Sounds pretty normal, I know. But there is so many anime that it's truly hard to achive something truly new and innovative. The most important thing is how to show something what already was showed but different way. And that's what I like. The idea is pretty simple and everyone know what's going on, but it still keeps us wathcing.
For sure. I'm men, so after exams when I wanted to chill out I was looking for something little ecchi with nice "plot". Sure, but I'm not shallow person. Boobs etc.: are just something for us, but that what I love in some anime is just that what I can think about, some reflections, motives, morals, feels, especially feels.
I'm truly emotional man.
...So what I like about this anime?
That's pretty simple. I wanna say that nearly everything but nothing the most, if I can say so. There is nothing what I can say that I just dislike.
-Plot/Story [7/10]
Well, It would be very hard to say something about the story without spoilers, but I won't say anything so keep reading ;)
The anime show us the story of a girl Ako who can't separate online world from real life, and she felt in love with Nishimura, who she got to know in game, but for real they are people who could know each other in real life, beacuse they are studying in the same school. The other players from the guild thought about meeting in real life, and that's how the whole story has begun. What I like about the stroy, maybe it's not innovative but it's truly catchy. I really like it. Maybe that's because of charater creation someway, but I don't think so at all. The story is really rough what keep me close to it. I was pretty focused when I was watching it what is weird for me, because I mainly focus while I'm watching some slice of life anime genre, romance or drama, but not commedy with ecchi and romance elements. I was really happy after wacthing fifth episode, beacuse I began to believe that anime has the good romance potential. I was hoping it all the time, but after this episode I was truly sure of it. Ant that's what I love <3 Ecchi mixed with romance is something perfect for chilling.
Departments:
-Art [8/10]
Rating of art depends on our taste, style, like, but that's review is share of my opinions right? So in my opinion the art and animation style stand on truly good level. Maybe it's not masterpiece for me, but really.. I'm truly enjoying watching it, and my eyes don't say - "hey, you, stop watching this, it hurts.". I truly feel good about the art in this anime. It's jsut beautiful. Tones of pastel colors, nice art style, smooth animation, beautiful created characters and world, what can I say more? Let your eyes see it, you won't be disappointed ;)
-Music [6/10]
I'm music lover, so that's really hurtful for me give such a low rate, but what can I say, it doesn't depend on my, right? I can just rate that what I have hear. Unfortunately I haven't hear anything special. Of course music isn't bad but it's also not something with "wow" or "cool" effect. I think that the music is bad side of this anime. I also think that I could rate this anime 9/10 if the music would be better. In my opinion if there would be some OST which could make feeling stronger and could expose specific scenes this anime would really got 9/10 for me. I can't say anytihing more about music here, beacuse I have no words for something truly neutral.
So I can say, it's not good but not bad too.
-Characters [8/10]
Yeah, I have to say that I truly enjoy character creation here. It's simply really good in my opinion. I'm not only talking about the desing. Of course it's really, really important, but it also depends on art style, right? I was thinking mostly about the nature of characters. Ako is charming, cute girl, which plays all the time, has no friends before she met Nishimura and the rest of the guild. She can't separate the real world from the online one, or even her in-game husband is treated like a true husband in real life. That makes her truly funny character but cute and charming at the same time. Her reactions and facial expressions are really sweet and funny in my opinion. She is probably my fav character of this anime and one of fav female characters from anime. We will se how will she change to the end of the series.
Nishimura, young student of the same school as Ako is one of main characters, which I want to compliment. Men who was rejected online, and he promised himself to never ever confess love online, be Ako was exception <3 He seems to be really good men, looking after her women. I hope he will achive his target and he will be "true", real life, conscious couple created with Ako. There are also few other girls what looks like a harem anime, but it's not at all. First thing what was related to true harem I saw in 7th epsiode.
-Enjoyment [7/10]
As I said eery single time in every point, I really enjoyed watching this anime. It's truly good in my opinion. I'm guy, so to be honest, cute girls, romance, ecchi, big boobs etc.: are something what I love, so I can not say that I'm just not enjoying it.
Final score: 7/10
I wanted to give it 8, but I could not.
Recommendation!
Who, I can recommend it?
Every person, who would like to laugh for a while, who want to calm down, see some wonderful art or jsut cute girls with big boobs <3 But not only, because the plot of this show is also really good in my opinion, so if you are looking for some romance anime I want to say that I keep one's fingers crossed for this anime and the romance plot here. I hope it will be main theme at the end <3 Unfortunately I didn't see what I wanted.
Like boobs, cute girls, nice plot, some romance, interesting ideas? Check this anime :)
