| The only thing more terrifying than one Maple is a group of Maples. Which is now a thing lmao She's also a rolling furry ball of poisonous death that can fall from above after riding on a giant flying turtle... I LOVE IT |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| It never ceases to amaze me how big these discussion threads are for this show. I did not expect so many people on reddit and here to be interested. Maple's transformation was really cool and it's cool to see her come into her own as guild leader |
 |
| Oh look Maple getting even more OP than she already was fun episode though, could relate to the side quest thingy |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| with Maple's new skill, it's like the monsters are giving the guild members a massage.. |
| Love the episode so much <3 Maple new looks was very awesome! ^_^ |
| The way they represented that npc quests are so accurate omfg |
| Maple starts a guild > guild members start getting OP > Maple uses her God skill " Broken Game" > Maple now can make her whole guild immortal... |
by having fun. ;) *and the boy :P I wonder if he low key imagine that his guild is a harem. xD |

I just realized this anime is getting even more popular. In a youtube channel, episode 7 alone has more than 1900 comments. With some people staying awake just to be able to watch the episode as soon as it is available. :p |
Paul said: If that skill lasts forever, it's definitely broken. Hoping there's more to it. I like her aesthetic change along with the skill changing her appearance but the skill feels like it's missing something. Most likely it will be nerfed after Event. From what I understand this skill "only" boost allies Defence through adding caster's Defence by sacrificing big chunk of caster's HP points but because Mapel have ridiculous Defence and HP this isn't problem for her. |

Hoping there's more to it. I like her aesthetic change along with the skill changing her appearance but the skill feels like it's missing something. He defense was *4 (from 2 skills before) and is now now *6 (from 3 skills). The stat points are not 5-per-level so I don't know the exact number, but her VIT is pretty high. The real question will be any BOSS-SKILLS she can get and her OP UNIQUE ONE-OF-A-KIND armor. Hydra is a Boss-skill that players should not have gotten that grants her Hydra[Poison Dragon] boss-skills. Paralyzing Shout, Deadly Breath, Acid Rain, Hydra (and its variants of bite, poison spray). No idea if she'll get any more boss skills but she did learn to "EAT her problems awa" (hydra -> bomb-bugs = Hydra Eater/Hydra -> Bomb eater/Devour).
Rather than Maples high VIT and VIT-boosting skills, the BOSS-skills and OoAK-armor are what makes her OP. This gets worse when Common Sense is more useful than Gamer Sense. A gamer wouldn't try to poison an ocean. Someone who's fighting a war in the real world would try to. In a game, programmers wouldn't even begin to consider coding it to become poisoned either. It really feels like we're watching a Dive MMORPG rather than a VR MMORPG. |
 |
| Pretty funny show, gotta love how they show them lvling up haha Especially when Maple is rewarded with almost unknown quests which grants her ridiculous skills xD Like being an angle with an OP barrier! Can't wait for the guild games! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Eventually, Maple Tree, would have to cross paths with the strongest guild & strongest player, which is Payne...i hope there's some twist when they all clash! 5/5. |
 |
| *GM1 kicks in the door*: We have an emergency: Maple finished Benevolent Knight 1. GM2: what's the reward for that? GM3: Holy balls of the Juggernaut! Can we dc her? GM1: maybe we can set up a d/dos attack on her house... GM2: Don't panic, she will never find the ring for part 2. GM4: send a dragon to kill the npcs... |
| Another fun episode! Man, looks like every member of Maple Tree is broken as hell. Can't wait for guild events. |
| I'm looking forward to seeing the guild wars. |
kyled00m said: Hydra is a Boss-skill that players should not have gotten[...] If there was a way for a player to obtain in programmed into the game, it was also meant to be obtained by players who could actually beat its requirements. I do wonder whether Maple has now slowed her VIT growth, though. Judging by her having the two skill screens open as well when they talked about Yui and Mai acquiring new skills and her fulfilling the requirements for both skills together with them as well, she should now have Conqueror (and Destroyer) too. |

| This might be one of my favorite isekai shows. I'm just hoping the ending doesn't ruin it. (I'm pretty sure it won't tho) |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| Man this show is so wholesome I just love it shame it´s only 12 episodes :( I hope there will be a season 2 would love that it´s a nice change instead of I can´t log out shit I will die in real life and so on. And this episode was real fun but man that new skill is OP as always. But I say it the few times when you see the "GM/Devs" complain about her doing something over the top all I could think of well why they heck don´t you maybe balance the game or maybe not add over the top skills. |
| the song that plays during their little adventuring scenes throughout the series, does anyone know what it is? |

I said it feels more like Dive than VR, but based on what I just typed, it feels more isekai than coded. It would explain how maple got OP. Of course, it would be you controlling a "vessel" on that world as a player rather than teleporting into it or being reincarnated/etc. I expect her VIT to still be maxed out with no points elsewhere. Last time I saw her stat screen, apart from HP/MP that I don't pay attention to much, her non-VIT stats were 0. Conqueror and Absolute Defense work against each other so I expect her to forget Conqueror. It was Sally who explained you could forget skills earlier on in the show, but to relearn you need to pay 50,000 currency per skill re-learned. |

Kimurah said: That's a lazy piss poor defense. The equivalent would be defending Plunderer and call out everyone that points out the terrible direction, dumbed down writing and cringe characters because it's a battle shonen and it fulfills it's role as a representant of that genre, making it inmune to criticsm. As a comedy it's pretty meh, it doesn't go out of the same jokes, Maple will be overpower no matter what and she'll always find secret quests that will unlock and grant her more stupid stats and broken items. As a parody, it's incredibly focused on one thing only, making an OP character, and that's it. Parodies point out several topics and puts them either in a shaming light or a subversion of it. Excel Daga, Puni Puni Poemi, Gintama, Last Period do this in different episodes. Heck, even the Simpsons did a way better parody on MMOs in only one episode touching several aspects of online games, like a TOS that states that their credit card numbers will be used by thieves from Korea, the oversexified character creator templates, it turns the most powerful character in a server into a momma's boy, it mocks the waste of money that cosmetic DLC packs are, shows off that moms and housewives can do more by sharing the same hobby as their kids, it showed the wide variety of people that logged in to an online game from poor to riches and your rl status doesn't matter much once you're inside the game. That episode despite being from the zombie Simpsons era, it has more messages in one single episode than in all 7 episodes so far from Bofuri. LOL! Your remarks are pretty much what I expect from your avatar. Good job! XD |

| What a blonde beauty. |
 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. |
| This video hit home with a lot of gamers and how is to interact with NPCs. They are not logical and def not the natural emotional reaction you will expect. This episode was a lot of fun. |
| "Miharu denki desu" |
| As a person who gathers necessary materials and items before doing a quest, I definitely approve of the awkward quest line. I had a healthy chuckle. Maple went above and beyond the call of duty. First she became a ball of wool, then a ball of poison wool and ultimately an angel. She definitely left developers of New World Online in an even more unenviable position than before... |
| #nerfmaple next episode would be mecha |
| Now Loading..... |
| LMAO! Maple broke the game again xD My concern this ep how she had his pet when she lend it to one of her guildmate Also wtf May and Yui hammers are bigger than them lol |

redcobra said: Dude chill don't take anime seriously. You forgot existence of comedy and slice of life mean is. Dude relax, not everyone is a fucboy that will settle with any kind of narrative just because it's animated and people should just turn their brains off because the brainless fanbase does it. I don't know what does the existence of comedy and slice of life has to do as a sort of lame fanboy defense. Stale comedies will be critiziced and ridiculed by more demanding audiences. Slice of life shows get rated by how relatable the setting and the charm of the characters. Both genres are just a label in this show rather than being the foundation of it. Non non Biyori is a great example of good comedy mixed with slice of life, and despite running 2 whole seasons and a movie, it never feels repetitive or cheap in visuals/narrative |

| God Damn it Maple... traveling inside a Poison Ball to go straight to the end boss... LOL Also, poor Hydra Boss... how many times did the dude die? >_< That's some Power Leveling at work here. ___ ___ ___ Two-Handed duel-wielder with x2 MAX strength... Well guys, Looks like we got our new Maples. (tho the titles seems like it's easily gotten if high level ppls wanted to... since high levels can simply rush to the boss too and clear the boss fast, meaning the titles shouldn't be uncommon at higher level) ___ ___ ___ And OH GOD... Maple turned into a Sheep, so cute and fluffy, until it turns into a Poison Ball of Doom.... And.... Maple EZ the chain quests... and obtained a special skill. simple Tanking skill, but Maple made it seem OP, LOL. Tho the range of effect seems to be quite small, I wonder if Maple could extend that range somehow. (cause if she can extend it to cover the whole guild event thing... instant win for the guild) (Also, that end forum thing... did someone just said "This isn't even Maple's final form"? omegaLUL) (but I do wonder... if Maple didn't take the extra quest and continued the chain quest, what other rewards are there? will there be an even more OP reward? hmm... damn it, now I am interested and wish this was a real game and there's a Wiki where I can read on Quest rewards...) ___ ___ ___ Feels like Maple's Luck stat is over 9000 or something, herself and anyone close to get literally gets all lucky loot and skills that's suppose to be hard to obtain. |

It's more likely that the extra quest has special requirements (since Maple points out that the quest line would likely continue even if you fail the first part, probably having properly finished everything until that point) and therefore gives the better reward, a special skill in this case. |

| blonde maple lookin like a snac |
 |
| There is no limit for Maple's power! now she is a damn angel!!! |
 |
| I legit burst out laughing when the NPC was talking about how they almost died in the forest. I didn't think I'd enjoy this show as much as I'm enjoying it, but I love it. It's lighthearted and seeing the ways Maple breaks the system is fun to watch. I keep wondering why she doesn't eat other boss characters though. She might gain another hydra boss on her team if she does. |
HiddenSilentMe said: I keep wondering why she doesn't eat other boss characters though. She might gain another hydra boss on her team if she does. This actually doesn't make any sense when she first did it tho... I am pretty sure there's no "Eating" attack skill in the game... so Maple technically broke the game right at the beginning... Probably why she doesn't do it again, as it probably got fixed. (like they tried to fix Maple's other skills) |

This could explain things like Admins not limiting skills, whether it be the acquisition, their settings, or their impact on the world. It would explain how Maple came to be and the reactions for real NPCs like Syrup. Quest NPCs need to be repeatable so the dialogue has to be static. Also, Maple never completed the Benevolent Knight chain quest. People seem to have overlooked that. After completing part 3, she was given the Benevolent Knight 4 OR Extra Quest: Loving Sacrifice as an option and she selected the Loving Sacrifice option. Explanation against AWO being coded: If a programmer were to code a poison skill, they wouldn't even consider it affecting the world. Poison may: target PC/NPC or form a small pool that doesn't expand (ground splat) that poisons those that stand on it, but never contaminate an entire ocean. They wouldn't even THINK to code that because it's not necessary for the players. Not only is it not necessary, it could and would lead to stupid things like Maple poisoning an ocean. For that reason alone it would NEVER be coded that way. |

| That quest chain was hilarious. And damn, she's so OP that now she literally has holy thighs... nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). She looks absolutely beautiful! |
hypersonic18 said: What I got out of your rough paragraph: "Game engine naturally mixes it."kyled00m said: I'm not a professional software engineer but I am pretty sure you can easily have the sea mix with poison without explicitly say poison mixes with water. How you can due that comes from object oriented programming, where you design an object that has a variety of data types and functions nested into it. An example could be a monster where it has a name as a string an alive state as Boolean a HP gauge and attack value as an integer and a function to attack which inputs another monster as the target. Why is this relevant to the mixing issue because the devs could easily have a reason to have two liquid class object interact by mixing be it for cooking or puzzles or other reasons, but what happens when poison is also a liquid class object, it will naturally mix because it is coded to do just that even if it isn't necessarily desired to do so. And although I'm not as certain on this part I don't think the devs even have to be the ones to code in mixing, a lot of developers (especially indie ones) use third party game engines like unity and unreal so if it is coded into the engine the it is likely coded into the game already anyways but I'm not familiar with how game engines work to say for certainSo they programmed the sea to be poisonable? No. They wouldn't program that. And if they wouldn't program sea-poisoning, then they wouldn't program boss-skill acquisition. Furthermore, ASSUMING they were mentally handicapped enough to program boss skill acquisition, it wouldn't be a "Boss skill set acquisition" but instead a single 1 of those skills at a time. Further, they knew Maple is poison oriented, so they specifically nerfed her devour. I doubt they'd overlook preventing a sea from being poisoned if they WERE programming the game. What this means: They didn't develop poison as an object, but instead copied the Water object and defined it as poison. Poison when coded in games doesn't come as a liquid. It's usually a status rather than an object. The object INFLICTS the status onto a target it comes into contact with. If the water became poisoned, it would end there and the water itself would take damage but not bestow poison status. Breath weapons typically leave nothing behind. Fire breath, Water breath, etc. tend to fall into magical attacks with no remains. A pile of grass might catch on fire or be dampened, but not flooded with the floor covered in water afterwards. The dampening has more to do with the grass absorbing the water before the completion of the magic breath completes its attack. When Maple uses Fluffy and poison together, even though only the wool should be poisoned, there's a large spot underneath the wool the is recognized as a poison-infliction-zone. This follows the general idea of how poison would be coded. A poison breath like the Hydra would do the initial damage with a ground splat based on what I've seen from the anime. A ground splat doesn't get larger just because it's added to an ocean of water as it would just be an imagine/outline of "entering this area defined on the ground outline leads to poison status." When we see the Hydra room, even though there's ground splats and the Hydra kept a non-step breath going for a while, the room didn't fill up with a layer of poison-ocean. If it worked like you explained, she'd be somewhere around ankle-to-knee deep in poison. Sadly, she wasn't.. I'd say the only potential would be like when the grass getting damp example applies to: H2O + poison = [poisoned H2O] (ie: salt + water = salt water) The spread happened too fast though considering she needed to fill the entire ocean dome. Time could have sped up for the anime sake I guess? It still feels off but based on what people say about 1hr-of-bunny and 3hr-of-sleeping.. however, Sally was there so I don't think she'd let her friend sit there using Hydra on an ocean that doesn't seem to be changing for 10+ minutes? .... Though this does not cover all other abnormalities AWO has shown, we can maybe explain the poison ocean I guess? |
