Takahiro Sakurai
IGN suggested that the storyline of "GU" could be streamlined by allowing e-mail access within "The World". Despite deriding the "filler" story of "Rebirth", Sullivan found "Reminisce" to be much more enjoyable due to its more mature storyline. "Mania" foud Haseo's skills useless in combat but liked his relationship with the Twilight Brigade as the cast is explored in a personal manner as the premise focuses on players interacting with each other. Both Haseo and Atoli's actors, Takahiro Sakurai and Ayako Kawasumi, were highly praised for their work in the OVA. "ANN" enjoyed Kawasumi's vocal range of emotions to Atoli but was had mixed thoughts about how Sakurai can make Haseo more likable despite his striking performance.
