If you play MMOs and enjoy fun lighthearted romance youll probably love this series. If you selfidentify as a NEET or ever have in your life youll probably relate to Morimorichan a lot too This delightful little series kept me busy every Friday night and I will miss my time in Fruits de Mer The story is nothing groundbreaking in fact you can see the twists coming a mile away but Morimorichan her friends both online and off and their adventures keep you so entertained and interested that it doesnt really matter when theyre finally revealed to be what you expected. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD What we learn about Sakurais childhood combined with Moriokas reluctance to participate in the rat race of Tokyo make it fairly obvious why these two people have chosen an MMO to connect with other people. Theyve obviously both been burned albeit in very different ways but when they meet and find a kindred soul in one another its easy to understand why. Watching their relationship blossom makes sense and you find yourself as a viewer rooting for the two of them. I found the push and pull of their relationship fun to watch and it felt a bit more realistic for thirtysomething adults. In the hands of another writer the tension between these two could have easily been juvenile but rather were treated to the realities of two adults who are terrible at socializing coming to grips with their feelings for one another and navigating that in their own way. Hats off to Kazuyuki Fudeyasu for fleshing out such fullyrealized adults without dragging down the story with too much harsh reality. My only complaint about this series is that the OP/ED of the show led me to believe wed learn more about Moriokas guildmates and while we do learn a bit about Kanbe I really wanted to know more about Pokotaro Himeralda Lilac and the rest of the gang. I was also a bit puzzled as to what forced Morioka to quit her job and become a NEET. It was obvious she played Fruits de Mer in order to escape her real life and connect with people on her terms but it felt like there was something else there that was never explored. Overall this fun little comedy with a bit of romance was super enjoyable to watch. I have no idea if theres enough material for a second season but I sure would love another visit to Fruits de Mer
