Boss fights almost have no value besides giving Maple new abilities. Using any ability requires Maple and Sally to speak the ability's name. A boss goes aggro. Kind of liking this one less. This felt like a filler episode.

OMG What an episode! Loved the devs struggling with both of them xD Poor guys, they'll have to work some extra hours ahaha
I wonder how broken will be their pets xD

And now Maple will be even more broken since she can withstand any damage and survive at 1hp.

Agility 1? No problem! I can move and keep up with unlimited cover move works! Maple is so broken lol it's like she can keep thinking of these loopholes to manipulate , poor devs gotta dish out balance patch every now and then because of her.

Tbh she probably picked that skill in the first place thinking being able to teleport in mind, such a smart grill

Lol. Those admins are going to find out just how hard it's going to be to stop Maple. They're going to keep trying stuff until they actually screw over the game literally. If they really wanted to stop her, the best way to do so would be to shut the game down permanently. You'll find out why I say they are stupid later on for trying to stop her in one or two more episodes.

Maple is so awesome and is my go-to girl for this anime. Screw Sally, she can drop back to loser land, especially compared to Maple, but you'll understand why in a few more episodes.

Haha, that bird got owned, and it was supposed to be unbeatable... lmao.

Now it’s Pokemon :)

Love how the animals are befitting for them, turtle for maple, and a Fox for Lisa. Also, MAPLE SYRUP <3 I was thinking the exact same name when she got it.

This is really a pathetic excuse for an anime... or novel for that matter. It's so stupid that you'd have to have no care about quality or be a kid to actually enjoy this crap.

Devs/admins in trouble because of a player? Please, just don't even try. Anyone who has even a little experience with games and mmorpgs would bleed from all their orifices because of how stupid this is. I'm basically coughing up blood already.

Not only would these things never even exist in the first place if this was a game, the devs wouldn't have any issue whatsoever with nerfing these two down to earth. What they did before wasn't a nerf. A nerf means you bring something down to acquire a balance with the rest of the game. Slightly reducing something while still letting her keep all of her broken abilities is just stupid, plain impossible. It wouldn't even be possible to acquire said abilities in the first place because they'd know that these skills are broken. They can literally do anything they want, why would it cause them issues? They can, at a moment's notice, confiscate any gear or items these two received and replace them with something that wouldn't cause any issues at all. They can even wantonly remove skills and replace them with inferior versions or just nerf the originals. But they just let players do whatever they want? Dude, at least make this an isekai novel if you want a "plot" like this. It would make things a bit more believable or acceptable.

Seriously, this thing is a shipwreck. It's not only an insult to anyone who knows how mmorpgs havve to work and how much effort should go into leveling up and acquiring things along with the skill that should be needed to utilize your character properly, it's also nothing but an eyesore for being so god damn stupid.

I thought I would be able to watch this as background noise while reading something else, but it's so god awful that I feel like the sole intent of its creators was to offend anyone with a brain above the age of 10.

Gotta love Maple using her skills in unorthodox ways:
[Cover Move] as a movement skill.
[Venom Ball] to roll down a cliff.

:D

I can't get enough of Maple. Posting this, I feel like I'm part of that Maple dedicated chat.

I'm sure the comparison to Tensura has been made to death, but I like this trend of overpowered main characters in lighthearted settings. The way Maple uses the various skills (most of which we know about beforehand) has made for some creative fun. It's certainly a welcome change of pace from what's conventionally considered good storytelling.

I wonder why the pet training arc is mid-event. Feels out of place.

At least it's confirmed that the game balancing from the devs are just poor. They should know better than making the unbeatable dungeon accessible and then even putting (potentially) broken rewards.

I expected more of a funny series with game exploits etc., but so far those moments are few and far between. If not, wonder if there will be some sort of tension further down in the series? Antagonist introduction perhaps or it could be a game dev.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

The developers certainly have interesting avatars, but it seems they have to deliver a hotfix soon. Maple's still broken, they beat a boss they should not have been able to lol. And now they can also play Pokemon in that MMORPG it seems xD

Maple Syrup. I can't even lol.

It was nice to see more gaming aspects in this non-isekai anime tbh. A pretty nice episode.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Cover Move is just too broken. Not only can she teleport to an ally to take incoming dmg which fits with a tank, but it also has a insanely high range and she can just spam it as much as she wants. Combined with Sally's dumb movement speed it just feels like an illegal broken ability.

This episode really elevated Bofuri for me! The combat scenes in this show are surprisingly well-done. What little CGI there is actually looks good. I love the visuals of this anime overall with the bright color scheme.

Also, only 2 hours pass irl while you've spent 2 weeks in-game? That would be a really nice form of escapism. Come home after a long day of work, load up New World Online and take a vacation for what feels like 2 weeks.

Imagine being a total noob at gaming in general, yet quickly becoming so OP that you're stressing the devs out!! Maple is epic. Many players might neglect defense in favor of other skills, but it turns out it was really smart of her to allocate her points the way she did. Big-brained move

I LOVE SYRUP AND OBORO AHH!! I'm a sucker for cute little animals

Really nice episode imo! The girls fought a boss, got some new abilities, materials and two new pets! They're adorable, and I love how Syrup is faster than Maple lol

It looks like we'll be getting a fight between our two girls and the player who got 6th place in the first event

Actually enjoyed seeing Maple finally get of turtle mode and keep up with Sally by using a skill in an unconventional way. When we finally got to see the admins after they defeated the semi impossible at least to the admins ice phoenix threw me. I did not know what to make of them as stuffed rabbit avatars not just one but all of them. Made me feel sorry for them and having to more work to combat Maple so the game is more level seeing that they never foresaw a player using skills or defeating enemies in such an out of the box way.

I wasn't expecting two awesome boss fights back to back this episode! That giant jester was one thing but the giant ice bird that turns into a shadow monster was insane. The devs agreed because they didn't intend for it to be beaten. How messed up!

Maple defying this games common sense with Sally and shocking them was quite satisfying. Trolls got trolled!

finally some combat with maple...
id liked if she got the fox but of course, the turtle makes more sense.

also seeing that part with the devs(?) being bothered by maple's achievements was a bit amusing. just the typical dev thing to do: test out everything can think of only for the actual user to do something completely unexpected yet simple and break everything.
