Normally the way Maple killed that squid would be considered demonic, but Maple is too stupid to be considered demonic. At least she finally got transportation.

Ok time for additional facts that the anime skipped.

Maple got 2 skills, because she had that gold coin. So she did get Fortress which multiplies her vit by 1.5

I am extremely surprised with how popular this show has become. I did not expect it to blow up and consistently have so many people discussing it on reddit and MAL. I mean it's a decent VRMMORPG and a cute cast, but nothing really revolutionary or major where I'd expect to see this much discussion on it. But hats off to the studio for doing a good job with it.


From what I understand she didn't get Fortress, she used 1 skill to give her tortoise ability to go big and second was Psychokinesis. Fortress got some random player and rest assumed that she also got it. especially since Total Defense is much better skill

And about popularity I think main reason (without counting overall good quality) is the way they showing how fun playing in video games can be.
In series like SAO or Infinite Danganronpa they are adding some "artificial" threats (SAO: "If You Die You Die" and ID: "If He Dies He Dies") to make anime more serious, and then there is BOFURI who simpli is saying that "playing in games is fun so we will show this fun", and personally I'm tired of "git gud" mentality that many players have.


Dude what? Why would I say the anime skipped it if she didn’t get it lol.

Sally is afraid of ghosts, but she's not afraid of killing people, lol.


Also, Maple defeating "Sea King" isn't that big of a deal... It's not like no one else has a skill to beat the boss indirectly... such as... electrify the water? (which I am sure it's a very common skill)


And looks like Sally has become the serial killer... LOL


Well... looks like Maple decide to get a weird skill that she just wants to have fun with. (I wonder if she could fly faster? or just with the slow moving speed she showed while riding the turtle...) (cause if it allowed her to fly fast... it pretty much nullifies her default slow moving speed due to going all VIT)

Tho I wonder what other skills they could pick from... I wanted to see what sort of combo you could make with Defense to be even more OP, LOL

Maple as adorable as always, and Sally is into PvP too much, noticed that whenever there's another character in the area outside Maple she gets hostile af. Happened with the red armor shield dude too when they weren't even hiding their presence lol.

Sally aggression towards others is reasonable, pvp mode is active in the area. Anyone who is not in their party might want take their medals. The only time Sally is not very aggressive is against the weak girl playing a board game with Maple. :p

Sally could literally fly last episode and now she can't "leap" high enough. This show has some inconsistencies that bother me. It tries to be funny and serious at the same time, and fails horribly at doing either. It has a of cuteness, but that gets annoying quickly as it forces cuteness much like it forces a comedic or serious tones. And another thing, it's use of colors can be displeasing to the eye. It might have been fine when Maple and Sally had that galaxy dinner, however they continue to use that colorful chrome color and it disgusts me. This show is average. I might drop it, however there is a couple things keeping me watching.

Maple fully established her character as a chaotic good this episode, natural airhead with a little bit of evil is just too big of a damage. The scene where she rained acid upon screaming little creatures at the desert was too funny to watch!

Yup and the funny part was the admins was trying to stop her from combining skill in weird ways, yet failed in the process. Lmao. Pointless Admins, but keep at it, maybe you'll break the game worst than Maple did in the end by trying to nerf her.

This is why I said the Admins are fools for trying to stop her. Every time they try they only introduce a new way for her to get stronger... they should give up already.

Now that the devs (?) are characters, I think this anime is actually a lesson in the folly of building a physics-based magic system in a multiplayer game

Devs: Create weirdest skills and dont limit how they interact. Also for some reason you give someone poison dragon skills.
Also devs: What someone used the skills?
Thats .. realistic as fuck.

Though even then that "Maple and friend OP everyone else too dumb to skill" is a bit boring. She is supposed to be kinda low level and her skill combination pushes her up to mid level or something. That shouldnt make her OP. everyone just straight up sucks at this game.

A tank build focusing on tanking: Unheard of
Evasion agility build focusing on evasion: HOW DARE YOU

Imagine spending money on a full dive MMORPG game developing realistic graphics and physics and anything but you forget about balancing.

PS: Full dive VR and turning 2h into a full week. Lmao. That would be stupid as fuck.

Maple riding around on a giant flying turtle raining acid hell on everything.

Bofuri is an amazingly fun anime. Maple is taking none of this seriously and is just goofing around, but somehow manages to break the game over and over again. Everyone else around her is trying so hard to be the best players, but she does so by just being a fun doofus.
