Unboxing [US]: And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online? - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Universal took their time bringing this series out (which then led to MVM distributing it instead), however it was one of those titles that Funimation provided a limited edition release for. I liked the show a lot so I opted for the Funimation version.


And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online? (Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko Janai to Omotta?, also known as Netoge no Yome) is a 2016 anime series adapted by studio Project No. 9, publisher NBC Universal Entertainment Japan and based on the light novel of the same name written by Shibai Kineko. The show is another one of those 'harem' type tropes where our main character is surrounded by a bunch of girls, though in this case he technically already has a girl chosen to him. I honestly enjoyed watching this series and it's not the best show out there but pretty above average in my opinion.

Funimation released the series in both standard and limited edition sets (and as of 2018 they also released it under the Essentials line-up which is a standard Blu-ray only set). The version that I picked up is the limited edition release which is the traditional Funimation packaging before they tweaked it from their Crunchyroll slate onwards.


The limited edition set contains all 12 episodes on Blu-ray and DVD across 2 discs per format. The audio options available are both English and Japanese with English subtitles. The discs are region locked to both A and 1 only. Also included in the limited edition set is a mousepad and a bathroom wall cling, both featuring the main female character Ako.

Plot Synopsis (via Funimation):
Ako Tamaki has everything she could ever want: a wonderful husband, a cute outfit, and a guild filled with great friends. The problem? It’s not reality. It’s all in the online world of LA - aka Legendary Age! Unwilling to accept the truth, Ako believes that her beloved Rusian is the same as his real life counterpart, Hideki Nishimura. Which means when the guild meets face to face for the first time, she calls him her husband IRL - even at school! Worried about her inability to escape the fantasy world of LA, Hideki and the rest of the guild decide to help her adjust to reality. But that's easier said than done!

Between malting the Net Game Club at school and taking an internet-free summer vacation, Ako struggles to keep up with being a normal girl while aiming to be the perfect wife for Hideki. Can she trade magic spells for social skills, or will she forever be an IRL n00b?
