Been playing a fair bit of disgaea 5 the last few days. It's been pretty fun. I feel like the evilities do a pretty good job in incentivizing using more than one unit even though that's probably still optimal time wise.

Cool guy with 2 swards gets harem of 40 big tittied girls.

Minus the 2 swords part thats the plot of like 30% of all anime. I think it was the idea of vrmmo that caused it to take off so well. I still remember the hype online after the first SAO episode aired and the rage when the first arc was shown to be more about living in an MMO as opposed to brutal death game it looked to be at first.

I wish someone good would take another stab at .hack//sign style anime. For me it's been the only MMO anime to even remotely capture what people are like while playing MMOs. People afk in town. Trolling people cause they are bored. Escaping from their real life they don't want to deal with. The way you get to see some pretty real issues but almost exclusively from the side of the escapism rather than the problem was refreshing and it made those brief IRL scenes pretty powerful IMO. I also like that hack//sign technically is yuri even though thats irrelevant to the plot. The actual infection aura plot was mysterious and ok but not as interesting as the rest for me.

Every other anime that tackles MMOs is like log horizon or GGO alternative where everyone is having a great time and it's all running super smoothly and theres just infinite content and everyone IRL is either a murderous psychopath villain or a well adjusted nerd/waifu with like 20 friends IRL. That has not been my experience online. I've met people that were almost exact copies of the entire .hack//sign cast at various points.
