Online games are the new craze in the world and bring many peole into their worlds with their fantasy settings. People play them for fun and go on with their lives in the real world. The most popular online game called The World was brought to the world and the number of players rose to millions. People play online and go on with their lives offline. This would be true for all, except for a male Wavemaster(Mage) named Tsukasa. The problem is that he can't log out of the game. As he tries to log out he is granted powers that would be considered "illegal", that a normal player wouldn't be able to use. As he learns of these powers and the fact that he can't log out, Tsukasa begins to accept The World as a better place than the real world. Tsukasa is very antisocial and has a very dark past. Through the series he is guided by his friends, Bear and Mimiru, who wish to help him log out and uncover the mysteries surrounding him and many other players in The World.

Characters- 10/10
-Each character was memorable in some way and had names that weren't hard to remember either. A single character was never the same as another due to the fact that they each had problems or thoughts of their own, either online or shown briefly offline. As the mysteries that Tsukasa brings to The World come into light, each character has their own problems to deal with. I find the fact that each character is an individual very interesting.

Themes- 10/10
- Depression, loss, seperation, betrayal, friendship, and loyalty. Each one of these events are shown within the series in someway. While some characters don't have such problems, the majority of the main cast does. Of course each character has a different way of handling these problems as you'll see throughout the series.

Overall- 10/10
- This anime is really a great one. However, you may not want to watch the series if you are not a fan of the psychological anime. Though the series doesn't go into as much depth as anime such as Neon Genesis Evangelion or Elfen Lied, it does deliver it's share of moments in terms of drama, axiety, and adult or adult-like situations. This anime is mostly intended for teenagers to young adults and with the serious and mature themes of the series, you may not fully understand some of the subject matter unless you are a teenager to young adult. I highly reccommend this series.

This anime is also the worlds most confusing anime I have currently seen. I mean, don't get me wrong. It is a good anime with a pretty good plot, BUT it is so hard to follow. It's like you have to watch it at least 2 or 3 times in order to actually understand it.
