Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
mmunro68 Not much of a headline I know but I don't really know how else to put it. I got vibes of it that reminded me of Cheers. The series so far is simple day to day stuff that happens behind the scenes at a gaming company Eagle Jump. From the first episode I was hooked. It's not going overboard. Every character is unique and it is quite funny without forcing itself. As I said before, nothing bizarre happens. No explosions, no deaths or anything like that so far (I've gotten up to season 2 episode 4 by this point) but the series still finds a way to get us wanting more. Aobas senior, Yagami, was the creator behind her favourite characters from her favourite game: Fairy Story. Season One is about how Aoba is introduced not only into the gaming industry, but also adult life. It's something we can relate with. We've all been there. Left High School or college and not knowing how to be, well, grown up to a degree. It's a light hearted series but I love all of the characters, the stories and just the simple day to day issues within the series. If you want something not too far fetched but funny. This is a must watch!
