Are there any anime that feature the main characters playing an MMO or other online game, but the plot DOESN'T revolve around anybody getting sucked into the game?
There's an arc in NHK about that.

There was that one with the thick neet chick a couple seasons back.
.hack or whatever the fuck it's called I believe.
Also that phantasy star online anime, I think.
I haven't watched either, but I heard they fall under that umbrella.

I'm 90% sure that people get sucked into the game in the PSO2 anime since people get sucked into the real world in the PSO2 game.
dot hack is also about people getting trapped in the game.
>>152084741
Of course. there's>>>/wsr/
>>152085129
.hack was the OG "players get sucked into an MMO" series
>>152085192
Nah, I looked it up. No one gets sucked into anything in the PSO2 anime.
I was wrong about .hack though, sorry.

A bit offtopic, but I'll still mention that there's a korean novel/manga, about top player getting booted and starting over on a new server with people awing about his experience, skill and some legacy items.
It's name is Kings avatar, I've only read the manga but it covers very little.

Oh, turns out they're making an anime, didn't know. Interesting.

I've seen it recommended plenty of times, but is it actually something more that a slice of life moebait with some gamespeak?
Fuck that otherwise.

There was that terrible show about the NEET who suddenly gets a teaching job he didn't want.

>is it actually something more that a slice of life moebait with some gamespeak?
No, it's not.
>>152085690
it was good for the first couple episodes but then it became a bunch of moralfaggotry and trying to brainwash kids into behaving properly. watch the first 3 episodes then drop.
>>152085901
>>152085916
Well then, nothing of value was neither achieved not lost.
