| Yeeaaaahh.... No. Maybe I'm just narrow-minded, but shows like this just feel like the author hasn't played a single mmo in their whole life. You can make an anime about fun mmo adventures without making the mc conveniently discover some super hax build and obtain cheat skills that none of the billion other players have ever seen. Props for eating the boss though. |

| Kaede (Maple) must be the cutest VRMMO player ever. Her eating the dragon ranks among one of the most amusing scenes that I recall. Not that Maple's adventure in the forest was less hilarious. All the tiny and cute monsters feasting on her cracked me up. I did not think that I would pick this one up, but I most certainly will. |
GenesisAria said: KaeUBW said: Well if you are referring to the poison resistance then most likely the other players know about it. They didn't say that this was a skill that only Kaede unlocked. It's most likely (i'm just speculating here) that poison resistance is a skill used only by shield bearers or maybe only they can reach immunity on it. There was literally dialogue of people baffled by how she was not taking damage from poison, as if she was special and doing something nobody knew about. With the speed in which she got the resistances, that's HIGHLY unlikely. I just re-watched that scene and the players were baffled that she was SLEEPING in the middle of a bunch poison bugs. None of them said anything about she not taking poison damage. They were impressed that she was not taking any damage at all as the bugs were all attacking her. The first poison bug attacked her before using poison attacks. So poison attacks is not the only attacks they use. |
I despise woke people. |
| I liked this 1st ep. seems a very cute and funny anime. |
| She. ate. a. dragon. That is enough for me to watch this lol. |

They were also talking like they had no idea how she could survive the poison cuz they melt in an instant, and baffled that she has such super defence, as if min-maxed defence ability was completely alien to them. |

| Good first episode! I found Maple really amusing and cute, she just dived in a VR game and without knowing anything she just has become that strong/resistent only maxing up defence! She killed that hydra eating it, so hilarious! Forum messages were really interesting aswell! Looking forward to see Maple's friend reaction to her stats and fast development! |

| Really, people? This is a CGDCT comedy with semi-parody about MMO, but you really argue over it like it's the new .hack |

(cause literally every VR/ Isekai always disregards "caps/ balancing" so the MCs will always be OP) |

| This really felt like the discount version of Sword Art Online mixed with So I'm A Spider, So What? Minus all the danger. Pretty funny, but as others said- game balance seems pretty busted. That said, I do like the way the protagonist faces problems like a total non-gamer, because that is how things actually go in real life. If someone's never played games, and you throw them into one with minimal explaination, they'll start doing things you thought nobody would think of doing, and ask a lot of questions like "How come I can't do things this way?". Has potential, but not too hopeful. |

(cause literally every VR/ Isekai always disregards "caps/ balancing" so the MCs will always be OP) It reminds me of a discussion of "female super friendship" titles, where people take seriously theories that someone is a lesbian, because moe melodrama is different from the behavior of real girls. But if it makes any sense there, I don’t understand why people expect good realism and a high representation of MMO from such anime. |

| Seemed dull to me, but opening and ending songs were rather pleasant and seemed to feature a lot of cute girls. I'll give it a try for at least a few more episodes. I know this title is meant to be cute and stupid first of all, but skills in this game still work kinda... unusual. And New World Online, oh come on. Also the other players are unusually nice to random people, but I guess it would ruin the cutesy atmosphere if they were rude. That scene where MC bites the dragon to death... I honestly don't know, it was between "very cringy" and "kinda funny" for me. Her cute face when she does the big bite though :3 |
| This is basically what happens if you make the casts of GochiUsa to play VRMMORPG, which is exactly why I love it. CGDCT and on top of that a game-related anime? GIMME GIMME. |

| Kinda like the game's UI, looks clean and simple. |
 |
| I found it really funny, Kaede is sooo cute ~ the arts really pretty too ❤ |
| The lesbian warrior princess defeated the evil dragon by eating it!! Awesome start and some Yuri vibes between Maple and Sally!! Friends!! Yeah right i say girlfriends or lesbian lovers!!!!,,YEEES!! But anime there are ugly males in this!! WTF!!!!! That pisses me off! I dont like males around MY females!! For that you start of low, You have 3/10 |
 |
| The good old "So stupid even the devs didn't see it and it is game-breakingly OP" stereotype. Reminds me of SC2 where one user abused Terran Ravens to the point the entire unit was overhauled just to change up the meta. |
| What a great start! This was pretty fun to watch. Can't wait to see more of her upgrades xD Since she is already like this...haha I'm happy that they showed a lot of lvling up in this episode. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| This game is broken AF. Makes it a bit hard to watch, really wished she got OP defense more believably, as the ease of it makes it way too easy for someone else to do it. Still, besides how Bethesda level broken this is, it is rather funny |
 |
| This girl has absolutely no idea what to do lol. The main protagonist looks so much fun in her first game. I liked her expression of the game^^ |
| lettuce<3 |
| "I dont want to get hurt" also "I will stand here and tank poison damage". Really doubt you get skills that fast, especially immunity. I have crafted Iron Daggers in Skyrim longer than this episode! Pretty dumb way to make someone OP. Well, she is cute. There is that. And its not isekai or stuck in a game setting which is nice. Looks pretty generic to me atm, but the only show I actually care about this season got corona so I might as well watch this. |

| lmao this is peak comedy, Maple is cute as hell I wonder what will happen if Maple meets a full Atk player lol |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| sorry that was terrible and I see why people don't like it. She is low level and got IMMUNITY(which never ever happens in any mmo) to poison? Yeah ok. What a fucking joke. And the one of a kind armor. Dropped. 1 star. |
 |
| Well Maple is just adorable. When she first bit the dragon, so cute! I think this will be a fun little show! |
 |
| Oh man. As a gamer girl, I'm just cringing at the noob LMAO. Entertaining enough, but I'm forever a DPS type of player. AoE skills are a plus <3 I can't imagine just defending-- too boring xD |
| This anime is so kawaiiiii! i can't get over with Maple cuteness. Soloing as a shield class is difficult tbh. Learning the ropes as a typical newbie in a RPG game is nostalgic though, items and skills/passive skills in the game are kinda op also. Guess i'll sit back and enjoy the rest of this show!. |
