| I thought this anime would be just fine at best but it's own sense of humor ain't really that bad because the first half was really funny. And that timely OST on the 2nd half and the synchronized BGM during the battle underwater have to be given credit. |
 |
| Well the other players have noticed that she broke the game with her gear and stats. Wonder if there'll ever be an arc where the devs patch it and nerf her? |
| Slice of Life Anime about the everyday life of a German Philosopher: Nietzschijou. |
| Kaede is unexpectedly artistic. Then again, she would not be able to display her artistry if Maple's shield were not that overpowered. Her free-for-all with everyone was a hilarious display. That Gundam reference cracked me up as well. However, Maple's post-game interview was absolutely awesome. She certainly captivated all male viewers... Sally performed commendably too, not to mention her admirable ability to serve as a mount for her clumsy friend. |
| This anime exceeds my expectation Its really fun to watch Simple yet so enjoyable to watch because of personalities of the mc's I'm not into this kind of anime but the characters were soooooooo likebale that im gonna stay on this.The concept of the game in this series was so detailed, the powers and the levels much better than Sao. Risa is so pretty and Kaede is like a daughter that you wanna protect at all cost xD The level of yuri in this ep was so high great to see risa piggybanking kaede Great friedship between these two characters they are too pure awww |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Super cute episode this week too. Only thing I could "complain" about this, in the anime it looks she's defeating her enemies with something actually directly damaging, more than only using ailments, with her Hydra and such, while in the manga was more the opposite. Whatever. |
| bruh |
| She's so cute. I want to have her in my MMO parties always. Too bad this cute girl doesn't exist anywhere in the gaming world... ;( ___ ___ ___ So ladybugs are popping candies to her... and she eats it from the Butt, LOL And, "When I hear Limited edition, I gotta have it" *GabiN Clap* "I took a pounding, but I like it", is that what she really said? LUL, so cute and lewd, but she probably didn't do it on purpose, being super innocent and airheaded. And looks like "Sally" is going Evade... too bad she went "regular gamer mentality" and spread out her stat and not pure Agi. Also, what's with their Newbie luck getting near Legendary equips from their first Bosses anyways?... lol |

| Sally: I'm gonna play the Knight class "Translator": Types it as Swashbuckler Another reason I don't pay for CrunchyRoll Also oof that was some god awful CG during the Fish Fight. The comedy was still good though. |
| Not bad but not good either, there is lots of most interesting shows this season, dunno if I will keep watching this one. |
RayReynolds said: There’s no way Maple would be the first to try out a defense-only build. Hell, it never should’ve even gotten out of alpha with a build this broken. And if you’re going to go with this gimmick, why not go all the way? Let’s have an all STR character. And an all AGI character. Then have them work together in unconventional ways to defeat monsters. Just Maple seems kinda boring, no? But who knows, maybe those aforementioned characters will show up later in the story. I just don’t think if I’ll still be watching the show long enough to find out. Third, games usually have some form of penalty if you attempt to fight anything too high level. You can stack defense all you want, but if a boss is ten or more levels higher than you, they gain some sort of damage bonus that will negate your defense. Fourth, VIT is VIT. RPGs, whether we’re talking tabletop or MMOs, usually have an additional defensive parameter like MND. They might even have more than just two, but simplicity’s sake, let’s just stick with VIT and MND for now. VIT is for physical attacks and MND is for magical attacks. It seems like New World Online won’t even bother with the latter as far as I can tell. Any self-respecting developer would hotfix this build immediately but everyone instead of getting mad at our protagonist, they prefer to see her ashamed for saying embarrassing nonsense UGUUUU! Edit: I'm sure they'll tell me to chill out because no one should take this anime seriously OK I know, don't to waste your breath. Nah you're 100% right. This might just be the most poorly designed anime MMO I've seen. The setting for this entire story is just too nonsensical, and the author wrote themselves into every corner imaginable. Clearly this game has been out for a while, so it's extremely unlikely that nobody else would have discovered these busted skills (or similar ones). She basically gets OP VIT multiplier skills by tanking a bunch of attacks...which is what any other greatshield player would do as well. Even with her multipliers (and assuming none of the 2k players she beat had an multiplier skills), I find it hard to believe a low-level noob could be completely unaffected by attacks from players who are clearly at much higher levels. Not to mention the stat system seems totally broken even without skill multipliers. Apparently all those other stats of hers (y'know, the ones at 0) have no impact on her ability to equip heavier/stronger equipment or her ability to tank attacks. tl;dr multiplier skills are busted and would definitely already be well know. The stat system in general is clearly busted in more ways than one. |

redcobra said: Just ignore this guy one of those spam new account for bait post + hate comment. This is MAL nothing new. "Oh no somebody insulted that show I like he must be a bot!!1!11!". patormov said: You say I'm just a fake account? Tell me if something I have said is a lie, this shit is different from others similar anime like the smartphone or the slime? Why is everyone so condescending with this show? The reason they're so condescending is pretty simple, just look at the show. 1. VRMMO 2. cute girls 3. escapist power fantasies 4. lazy writing It has everything it needs to attract the worst bottom-feeders of MAL lmao. Like Maple, it's amassing a tremendous amount of skills (fanboys) without actually doing much. And like Maple it will soon become too OP for this website, rendering all other anime pointless. |

| Sally has logging on... |
FatalisDestroyer said: No, this anime should be a 8+ too underraredThis anime is so underrated. It should 7.8 at least. |
| a level 10 takes on a boss fight. riiiiiiiight. totally not OP in any way. I grew up in ragnarok online and that is just one big BS. a level 10 will die in 1 hit. sorry this is dumb. |

| That was a good episode!! My girls went fishing together and got some new gear for Sally!! Really strong Yuri vibes!!And my lesbians was flirting like crazy!! love to see that!!! Great animation and I enjoyed the op!!! |

| Pretty fun show. Maple is indeed a walking fortress. |
| She is soo OP And the Episode Was very Good & this is SAO But For Little Girls, Huh??? |
 |
| Awesome 5/5 episode I'm so surprised at how cute and fun this anime keep it up!!! |
| Tank with para and poison nerf pls This show makes me so happy for some reason. It's like playing that new MMO with a friend and it transfers that fun, magical time so well. |
| Great episode! And now her friend can play with her. I just wish they weren't this broken when it comes to doing almost a solo dungeon. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I don't know what is more annoying, how broken this game is, or how stupid the opponents are. SHE IS IN THE TOP 3 IN POINTS DUMBASSES! WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK SHE IS EASY?! Anyway, besides rolling my eyes at every bit of actual gameplay issues, it is rather funny. Kinda wish she wasn't so offensively good, think it defeats the purpose and now she is just OP on both ends |
 |
| Finally something relatable! Hours of fishing just to grind some ressources. Her Skills are BS though. What an incredibly broken game. Touching someone with a shield OHK them and turns them into MP? Tha fuck. Apparently its not even scaled via level. Just ohk anything. Vitality in my book would be HP and HP regen, not growing iron skin to negate any attack even without a shield. And paralyze? Nobody else has that skill? Lol. Typical "only the MC is good at what shes doing everyone else sucks" problem. It can be fun though, the kind of brain off fun. |

| This anime puts SAO to shame. I enjoy every second of it,a nd that only 2 episodes in, such a fun show. Maple is a total boss in that event XD, Sally is cute and that underwater boss battle is amazing! |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| D'awwhhhh, how cute C: this makes me want to find an MMO to play with my bestie. Rn we're only playing a hero gacha game, but it's not like that allows us to adventure together, which sounds a lot nicer X] |
| Maple = Shield Hero in Tate no Yuusha, but a kawai version. I really enjoyed the op'ness of this loli with her op shield. Her friend Sally finally joined the party, to think of how op they are together. Looking forward for more funny and enjoyable scenes in this anime <3 |
 |
| I'm enjoying this and I feel like it resembles a MMO |
 |
| Ah it's nice to finally watch BOFURI before Christmas. I love how there's a forum in NWO dedicated to Maple-chan. And holy christ the amount of messages are still growing fast, we're only at Episode 2. |
 |
| Okay, that event officially pulled me on board. The contrast between Maple being OP & ditzy is absolutely hilarious. Her dynamic with Sally has definitely helped warm me up to Bofuri as well. |
 |
| Another nice episode. Sally is so cute. I'm liking her character already. :) That boss fight was pretty cool! |
 |
| I wonder when our real world will have such an advanced VR tech as shown in this series, I mean... swimming? Holy shiet. |
 |
| Sally is mapel's horse lol |
Stardew said: Wonder of all the players in this game are noobs or what. they started playing by normal mmo rules and ways without realizing the kinks and other ways u could play it so in that sense they are cause they don't know how to think outside the box and flow a sys what they know, for mapel it just came by chance cause its not like she is planning neither :D, her flaw is that she wasn't a gamer so she doesn't follow a sys she knows |
| That was actually some really nice CGI in that underwater fight, sasuga Silver Link. Maple can easily defeat people, but hunting someone down is not really her specialty as slow as she is. Seems like Risa also got some pretty nice gear there, the next team event will be interesting. |
| Nazca rune was lit :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Maple is already being taken on as a final boss, lol.. Whole parties take her on.. And they can't do anything.. ;P I always didn't like too much underwater levels.. Especially if you can run out of breath.. But good for Sally she managed, of course.. |
| Why does this show make me smile so much? LOL. I love Maple so much and Sally is great as well. That fight was quite intense for Sally but she was able to beat it. Nice. Also, Maple is too OP. |
