| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, the swimsuits scene came out of nowhere. Anyways, I think it's cool that Maple managed to acquire a new title in her name. Seems that there's another event coming and competition is fierce among the guilds. Maple's own guild has some competition too. |
 |
| Honestly the personality gap of the red haired guild leader was funny to watch, tho it was mean of Sally to steal the orb like that. Sally's tactics are sly in general the moment she set up those two guilds to fight each other was interesting as well. She certainly isn't someone you want as your enemy. Tho it seems the other guild is making their move as well checking out her skills and all. |
| Nice start at the beach haha and another event with the orbs, it's cool |
 |
| NWO guild wars so intense!!!! this feels like War of Emperium in Ragnarok Online. Sally has a 1 vs. 1 fight against Fredericka, and then Dread. So much going on I feel so excited watching this. damn... can't wait for next week! :) |
| It's really refreshing to see some fair battles. Ignore the last part And that flame empress, what was that cute reaction. XD |
 |
| I swear Maple could make anything look cute. No matter the skill. |
| Beach episode part was nice, Sally vs Frederica match was great and the orb raids were really great. Poor enemies that tried to attack Maple Tree. XD |
 |
| Wth I didn't expect that kind of reaction from Mii. So she's a cute crybaby lolz. |
 |
| You don't want to mess with Sally. She played the guilds against each other. The Flame Empress reaction at the end was cute. I didn't expect that. |
 |
| I had a feeling there has to be more to Mii's character, and I'm not disappointed. She was so cute :D |
| Oh man, if only I could describe just how much I don't care about Sally's solo plays... Definitely love how all characters get perfectly timed loots, very nice |
 |
| nice how the event jusy started |
 |
| Sally is having a field day with this event XD. Maple banging herself on the head while trying to do the "tee hee" pose was SOOO ADORABLE!!!!!! How can they keep making this adorable girl even more adorable!!?!?!?! I liked the reveal of the true nature for that fire girl. Really cute. Maple still looks amazing even when she has a cloak on hiding her armour. Seeing the angel Maple again was such a treat. Love the blond hair and halo. Maple really is our angelic angel.  This girl is our holy goddess and I will worship her forever! <3 <3 <3 |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |

| It's genuinely mindblowing to me how popular this series has got overnight. It's now the top selling LN on Amazon JP lol. Threads here and on reddit are consistently popping, etc. I know reddit and MAL aren't necessarily indicative of the entire anime community in the west, but still pretty cool. Pretty cool episode. Really showcased Sally's genius, she's definitely the brains of the group and is out here living in 3020 while we in 2020 When the series got announced I never would have imagined it being this big. I hope one day our VRMMORPG capabilities get to the point where we can make this a reality. |

| Lmao so flame girl is just really good at being a chuuni. I hope Maple shows off her mecha form more :D. |
| An angel, demon and now a mecha Maple sure is amassing quite the collection of transformations. After the recent battles its nice to see the girls get a chance to relax and prepare. The armour that Iz found sure proved perfect for her. The dual between Sally and Frederica though sure was fun. As expected of a veteran Frederica sure had an impressive collection of spells. While technically a draw both sides managed to gain a great deal of knowledge on one another. The attack group of Sally, Kasumi and Koromu though sure proved to be quite deadly despite their small numbers. Sally though sure had quite the streak thanks to both her cunning and skilful tactics. Despite her stoic nature Mii sure had a surprisingly vulnerable side to her. The 8's first foray as a guild though sure proved impressive. Overall an excellent ep that featured a good mix of action, plot advancement and character expansion. With the order of the holy sword and the flame emperors guild all participating im quite curious to see how Maple tree will match up against them. |

Well, I don't know how trending works.. so not sure if that's an achievement or not. When I watch the anime there's just the feeling I always want more. I'm also preparing funds on the time they would sell figures. I can't afford to buy figures of everyone, but would at least get one of Maple and Sally if good ones are made. |

| Swimsuits, nice! Sally looked the best wearing hers.. If only Kasumi was there as well.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The guild event has finally begun and Sally wastes no time collecting orbs.. She's definitely enjoying herself.. Even running into two big shots from other guilds. Not gonna lie though, that Flame Empress really gave me the wrong image about her at first. Definitely a bit hot headed with her ability use but her crying afterwards was pretty surprising. Maple makes great use of her "Angel skill", those poor guys XD Especially the one that got clobbered by two hammers! Ouch!

Ever since SAO, I really want that VRMMORPG becomes a reality one day and with Anime like Bofuri, it just makes me want it more! |

| Event No. 4 comes quite fast, this time a guild competition. The momentary swimsuit fanservice didn't last long (thank god), but it was nice. But having Maple only for defense isn't just not helping, it's trying to hide her presence from anyone even at Sally and Co.'s expense. With that, the guild competition takes its start, and Maple Tree draws first blood as easily as usual without her, with the usual high-powered guilds displaying the minimum of their power in magnificence. It's tough for Sally to keep drawing first blood against these guilds as nothing more than taunts, but when all 8 of them are together (plus Angel Maple), they're practically undefeatable. This is definitely taking a fun and parodying jab at the usual in-game big action, and definitely loving it! |
 |
So true! lol Maple's meal is ready This episode was enjoyabley well packed with so many things! Showcasing abilities, single & multy battle combats between more significant opponents, strategies, grinding levels and acquiring equipment as well as silly & fun swimming antics. I do feel going full angel mode on the unfortunate souls who barged into their area was overkill XD Am forgetting how the cool-down works on that. |
Damn,I laughed so hard when I read that :) |

If they did one of Maple in that mecha,I'd have that,but no,they'll probably do one of Maple as the giant ruddy alien knowing my luck :) |

| I could watch this for hours at a time and not get bored! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| All the other guilds seem to have only muscle head, which is not good. You need a couple geniuses, which brings me to that puzzle girl. I feel like she is pulling some strings while acting laid back. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| "At least I scored one hit" *hit Maple again* PTSD intensified |
 |
| there's gotta be a reason there's like 10 decently skilled players besides maples group right? everyone else is just weak ass fodder also no cons to carrying orbs is like playing warsong gulch as a druid but you can go stealth made it a cake walk for Sally. just realized that sexy priest is voiced by Song's VA in granblue this makes me very happy |
 |
| So it's a PvP event : I always went for PvE stuff in World of Warcraft, fighting other players has never really been my pleasure (says the me with more than 5k games played on Dota 2...) Next week's episode should feature a real guild vs guild fight, Maple Tree versus one of the 2 strong ones. I can't wait to see Maple destroying her enemies with her secret weapons ! |
 |
| Wow, we’re finally seeing the top two guilds in action and they’re really the saving graces for this anime for me. Especially that personality change from Mii, it was really cute. Can’t wait to see more from them, especially Payne since he’s been our mysterious wont-reveal-my-face character this entire time. |
| Awww she only has shown an arm of the mecha. Hope she'll get to use it in combat in front of the others :3 |
| bruh |
| Another dope 5/5 episode Sally is such a badass her and Maple are such an amazing duo they make this show so fun :) |
| it was amazing to know sally fought kinda on par with payne now I know his guild doesnt have to much against maples guild :) Hope maple will blow away everyone in paynes guild including him with full mecha and that monster combination :D |
 |
| I wonder if maple can activate all of her transformations at once and what it would look like. |
HeroVladimir93 said: Kinda where am i at the middle of the week is so dead so this is the only airing show i have to watch lolit's nigh-impossible for me to root for a character that gets everything handed to her on a silver platter. I'd say that I'd hate-watch this show, so that's what I'm doing. Bofuri has officially exhausted my patience and I will enjoy criticizing it. the moment you start critically thinking about bofuri as a MMO is where you run into a endless list of thinks to point out i feel like most fans have already tuned part out and just enjoy it for what it is which is fine |
| |
| VIRTUAL UMI DA! Though it was too short and we couldn't even see Kasumi in a swimsuit. Next time include her and Iz too, please. Oh, and Misery... God damn, she's hot af. The lolis splash turning into a huge wave was hilarious. Mii is fucking adoable! I love the gap moe. Sally was amazing this episode. |
| sally should have been the leader, I think she was with holy sword... |

| Holy shit Mii! Dont act too brave. You must be join Maple guild for having some fun instead! |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Maple is too fucking adorable, that teehee while slamming her head with that machine arm was too damn cute, I did not expect flame empress girl to have that gap moe hit. I gotta say... not a fan of Sally at all when she isnt with Maple, its like she's in her own genre side story while Maple's the main one. She isnt really that fun when she doesnt have Maple with her. She takes me out of the story with her hardcore play style unlike Maple's adorable op thing. That aside this anime has the most randomest animation flex, you can tell it had a healthy production. |
