Yo boss: if you download the NG preloader and place it in the front of the movie it will solve your problem.

I don't really know where to start with this. Probably that from my perspective it just doesn't work.

I'm serious. For a moment, during the cartoon, I tried to distance myself from my own opinion and simply look at it like a television executive would- devoid of any opinion or feeling and simply looking at it from a marketing position. Could it sell?

No. Not in my opinion. And for a lot of reasons- the most prominent and repeated one being that it's incredibly hard to take any moment of it seriously when the premise is literally people interacting in a game world where there is no real threat other than people at computer screens not being able to play their game.

It's essentially as pointless and draining as, well, an MMORPG.

This is my take on it: MMOs are more adult based games. Yes, you have teenagers in them and the occasional brat who shouldn't own a microphone, but overall one could say that the market is at least at the M rating. The problem with this show's marketability is that you're taking an adult concept (MMORPGs) and developing it into a Saturday morning cartoon aimed towards adolescents and preteens. Kids won't get it or relate to it, and adults sane enough to not love ponys won't care for it.

I think a remedy for this would base the overall premise in the real world, on a remote island whose sole purpose is to be a virtual interface for a worldwide game. "Hackers" are notorious and more dangerous because they can actually hurt players physically. And a virus stemming from the virtual interface would pull some kind of year 2000 scare where all technology in the world falls flat. Hell, how about pulling something like "the virus that infects the main character is the ancient Y2K bug manifesting itself in the year 21-whatever." That would certainly justify why he can make things drop dead for a reason other than "he simply can".

Now as for the characters, I don't want to dwell too much on them. Because suffice it to say I can keep it in one sentence. They're every anime cliche in the book, and should be completely revamped and rewritten. No more to say.

I once read a line in one of those "idiot's guide to write a book" books. The line said "Take that one idea you have- the one you've always dreamed about writing and making- and scrap it; 90% of the time it won't work." It may seem cruel to say, and almost contradictory to the solid 10/10s you're getting on this, but this series IS that concept of yours.

You can succeed with this as something free to watch over the internet with a donation button gleaming in the corner, but nothing past that. Nothing would make me happier or more willing to eat my own words if I was wrong, but I would bet my life that I'm not.
