The fact that this anime series is an adaptation of an online free-to-play role-playing game is quite easy to see. I could imagine going on missions with the main male protagonists, visiting different cities, fighting Spirals, fending off the ubiquitous "Team Rocket" (OK, in this show the Wiseman gang), plus the final boss fight... I do not know how much fun a game like this is, however, the anime series is certainly quite an entertaining watch. In the beginning, it does come across as a terrible piece of crap, which at first glance comes across as a kids' show with an extremely uncomplicated narrative, often to the point of naivety, and yet despite that it has a certain charm. I do not know whether this is because of Choco and her occasional sarcastic remarks, which give it the distinct air of self-parody and prove that Choco knows much more than everyone else. It could also be because of the Wiseman gang, who in the end are not as irritating as they might have seemed at first, and personally speaking, I could say I probably even liked them more than Haru and his gang (not counting Choco) by the end. The artwork is cute, and the soundtrack is also cheerful, including the opening and ending. I think the whole thing is such a laid-back anime series that does not take itself too seriously, and if you can take it for what it is, it can be a pleasantly surprising and even entertaining show at times. 6.2/10.
