| The art direction and production value for what is presented is a step above most of this type. Its clearly a design choice for something that has its strength in the cgdct style. But they did not cut corners on the environment and its immersion by production alone. The fight sequences are solid too. Even if the small amounts of CGI in the spells. Makes you wish they cut their animation entirely. Due to how it looks superimposed on the rest of the production. |

just playing a game so doesn't really matter |

MORE INFO / SPOILERS, IF YOU WANT THEM
Any of those versions is better than this version. (which so far seems to be cut, changed, and out of order)
------
The novel is very well-written, and narrated in first-person by Yuna in greater detail than they'd ever be able to include in an anime.
Trimming down and rushing her internal monologues makes her feel like an arrogant character - which is not actually the case.
Going by this episode, they haven't actually cut out that much. (of the chapters they covered, at least.)
My biggest gripes are:
1. Changing things that don't need to be changed - for the worse. (Particularly things related to major plot events.)
2. Screwing up the sequence of a story intended to be told in chronological order.
3. The stylized backgrounds and overly exaggerated animations and sound effects that make the whole thing feel like a joke. It feels completely out-of place in the context of the original plot.

Surprised to see them not fall off the bears at a fast pace of speed.

I thought she stuck in this game but ending blew my guesses away.
So Yuna gets real money for killing monsters in game? I want it too :(

I don't understand why Yuna is in a bear costume with bear puppets and bear shoes.

Did the writing feel odd to anyone else. Despite beign a first episode or a preview, it felt like we were joining in media res. Or even half way through a season...
Yes, that is what they did. We joined the story at Chapter 39 of the LN. It's not originally written that way - they fucked it up just for the anime.Did the writing feel odd to anyone else.

Not read the LN or the manga myself and only found out about this series due to looking at upcoming anime. I did see a couple of spoilers in this thread last night before they got cleaned, but wow.
Have to say, this first episode "teaser" feels more like an episode that you'd watch half-way into the series! Also, from spoiling myself after watching the episode and reading your own comment, it does feel and seem as though the anime has really taken a dump on the source material.
Is this meant to be an Isekai, or a SAO style of thing? because from the spoilers, it's more SAO-style, but then from watching this episode it's more on the lines of Bofuri, with the episodes just taking place inside the game, with very little outside-game stuff going on. This goes against the whole "being sucked into a game" thing that I saw on a synopsis somewhere.

| @Nyaa Thanks for the Info, big appreciation there. No wonder the plot progression felt out of the place for some reason. The path of a bear is a thorny one, indeed. Definitely going to check the LN later. |

| That was very... Okay lol The MC is cute I guess, but idk that's the only thing I can take away from this episode. The first half was pretty boring, second half was a bit better. Hope things improve from here. |
