| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I gotta say, it's kinda fun watching their new guild members adventuring and working together. It's like watching a kid growing up and learning the ropes of surviving. Looks like Maple is the guild master and has a boss on her target list. She's got a lot of responsibility. |
 |
| That quest line was really funny and it gave a useful skill as well. And the training of the guild was also going very well. Tho it seems the rival guilds see Maple's guild as a threat and things could get bad for them. I wonder how Maple and the girls will deal with this. |
| Maple looks wonderful like that, it's so pretty ! It was worth to do the quests |
 |
| Good to see Yui and May leveling up with the help of Maple. Maple in that angel form, she's overpowered. |
 |
| Super Saiyan Maple has arrived! This ep literally just had half of the guild members get a boost. The 2 loli's, Maple, red haired loli and Kuromu (Kuromo's new set looks badass af) Maple lending her unique pet item just like that gave me PTSD, I remember when that happened to me when I was a newbie, bad memories. Maple at this point is border GM character now aint she? |
  |
| So many ridiculous thing going on in this episode.... Good thing I'm not playing MMORPG anymore cause I might have just completely lost all my rationality especially during the successive quests. The first one was funny for how she flew her cheese but I just can't keep up with the logic anymore from the 2nd quest XD. Gotta look forward to the guild battle though. Let's see if this poisonous angel can keep everyone defended. |
 |
| That side questline should definitely be relatable to anyone that's played a decent amount of RPGs. So many times have I experienced accidentally finishing quests before even being given them and then just being able to immediately hand them in once you're given them. Not to mention all the times you've accidentally broken or circumvented the intended way to finish them and end up in either a bugged situation or with some hilariously unfitting quest dialogue like in this case Maple's angel form is certainly a drastic change of character but it was quite pretty |
  |
| Maple is too easy to trust people. Good thing Kuromu isn't a bad person, or Syrup would have been stolen! >< |
| Maple became an angel lol. Thou she looks beautiful in this form and ofc her loving sacrifice skill is op af. |
 |
| I really like Maple specially she a special skill called "lovely sacrifice" plus with her new armor suit and her shield... When she activate her special skill this is looks like... https://i.imgur.com/uFU7s9a.jpg Well I would say it word "Hallelujah"...👼👼👼👼 |

| Maple just became a real guardian angel. lmao. Just when the others gets a level up, new skills, and armor, Maple gets even more OP. Also, that successive quest had me dying inside. |
| I was wondering how the Mangel (Maple Angel) was going to become a thing from the OP or ED and now I know! When I saw the twins(?) new weapons "[STR+25]" with their new skills, I immediately realized: STR+25*2*2 = +100 Strength from weapon slot @_@ and it's going to increase.. Keep in mind 2 2H hammers = 2 full-power attacks at once. To shock me even further, Maple's new skill just screams "throw all your points in attack" (where each points equals 2 stats because of the skill).. Classic Maple. How Maple's Story Itai no way iya.. works: So a Maple and May go into a bar where Payne is drinking beer. An hour passes with no one comes out so someone goes to check... They find an empty bar and Payne is found at spawn. What happened? Maple went sacrifice, May 1-shot him with twin maximized crystal hammer smash. BUT WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Remember, they didn't leave...? Answer: After slaying OP MC Payne, Maple and May entered a hidden dungeon and found more skills. RUN FOR THE HILLS!! |

| This game is Broken Because Somehow She is Just Getting OP in Every Episode & In All Great Episode 8/10 |

| Going from a poison angel, to a legit angel. Next level is god status lol. But seriously, the guild war is gonna be interesting. Though knowing how this goes, could end up being a serious battle which Maple learns more skills and comes out winning. Would be surprised if it went differently. But would still be fun~ |
| OMG! That quest and NPC dialogue.... When i started this show i didnt have high expectations but it never fails to make me laugh! |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
phantomfandom said: OMG Kuromu (Chrome?) is 100% hotter with his new armor! Now he's someone I want to sleep with. Though his goofy personality is still the same. Yeah his original design was so plain and basic,but this looks fucking badass.... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| 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. |
| Maple, breaking not just the game but other players too. The quest script going berskerk was hilarious too. 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. Yeah it's missing...that lethal dose of poison. lmao |
| Okay episode. Ngl just seeing Maple get everything on a silver platter is getting a bit tiresome now, especially when Maple hasn't necessarily done anything to deserve it. Hopefully if Maple goes against Payne or the girl from the flame guild it doesn't end up just being an easy win for her. |
| Chrome 's new 4 piece set has 1 different unique skill on each piece of the set (whereas Maple's unique dungeon set had one skill SLOT per piece instead, in which she put skills that she gained otherwise), and all of them had name alluding to blood sucking or other vampiric stuff. We didn't get the explanation of the skills yet tough. All pieces are unbreakable too. If he builds on this to combo with more skills he'll probably go to a kind of "Blood knight" spec, a tank that siphons enemies' health to heal himself as he's tanking. Could be pretty strong as well. |

The fact that Maple could get permanent elemental immunities just by face tanking a few low level trash mobs for a while still irks me the most though. That's the dumbest game design I've ever heard |

| Wow this was one of the best episodes yet. Seeing angel train her apprentices in the way of being OP was cute. I couldnt stop laughing when the quest just went on and on and on XD. It was funny how they used game mechanics that way. BUT OMG ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!! ANGEL MAPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! IVE WAITED FOR THIS!!!!!!!! Best girl now being my favourite mythical creature!! Win Win!!  Its so beautiful <3 As they said, "Maple is truely our guardian Angel!" |

Zefyris said: She was doing it against trash mobs first in episode one and started building resistances just from standing there taking hits. That's how she found out about it being a thing. Then she fell asleep on the road and got attacked by more monsters meanwhile and powered up more from it. Later she met the hydra boss which finally pushed her already high poison resistance over the line to become a full immunityHaXXspetten said: Everything in this game is broken.

| Hmm Yui and May are shaping up pretty well. Using the poison shield to level up was an interesting idea that only Maple can think off. The reward skills of conqueror and Destroyer though sure were tailored made for the two though. Though in terms of skills Maple sure finds the strangest ones. Koromu's new gear though sure looks badass especially the mask. The new gear that Maple had Iz make though sure was neat. The white and gold serves to make Maple look more like a knight than her previous gear did. The skill loving sacrifice while apt for her new look serves to provide Maple with a massive boost in defensive power as well for both solo and party based tactics. Still looks like their increase in both strength and numbers haven't gone unnoticed by the other guilds. Nice to see Maple's guild finally face some form of challenge in the form of Frederica's guild of vets. Overall a calm ep that allowed the members of Maple Tree to improve both their skills and gear and improving the combat efficiency of the guild as a whole. |

I like her aesthetic change along with the skill changing her appearance but the skill feels like it's missing something. I was expecting with that name that she would actually die so her party can receive a huge boost. But yeah, no chance that would happen. Only it sacrifices HP, but since it seems that HP, VIT and DEF are the same stat in this show, Mapple can do it every time she pleases. Well, the game master could nerf it like when he did it with the devour skill |

| Oh come on guys! Are you still trying to seriously evaluate this show as an MMO image? This is a parody and a comedy. |
 |
| Well, not that it was a surprise, but Yui & Mai already gotten their own OP abilities. Dual wield 2handed hammers. So everyone is out training on their own and they are picking up skills/armour like it's nothing. Wooly is such a woolyfull skill if you ask me! That quest chain was quite funny, reminds me of a certain game I play. Eventho guides were used, you already had the needed items with you. So seeing "you must have gone through so much trouble" while not doing anything at all, was the best part of that! So relatable! The skill she got from that quest chain, Loving Sacrifice is on a whole other level of overpowered! But damn with the new armour she looked so gooood!! |
 |
| Developers on suicide watch. Broken beyond repair. I'm liking this series more than I thought. |
| With the newfound twins May and Yui, Maple takes them both for...event training? Not sure how that qualifies, but that seemed kinda getting easier for Maple, even for quests that flexes more of her broken skills. At least everyone is going all out on upgrading their skills...albeit NOT Maple, who seems that the game is still on "Easy mode" for her and experimenting on new character skills and participating in side quests. Out of everyone, I'd say that Chrome got the biggest upgrade. For the gullible Maple, I'm quite conflicted at how she goes around the NPC quest chain she'd found by chance, though it tickles my funny bones to have items of no use before, being of use now. Oh how relatable having to grind for useless items. The reward for all that: "guardian angel" gear that makes her broken character even more invincible, and the others of Maple Tree benefitting a lot. Looks like things are heating up with the guild battle...which means more characters and world building! Dat one rookie that doesn't look strong, continues to be stronger every step of the way, and no second chances are taken. |
 |
| Nobody likes escort quest, especially with the NPC's speed or their "ability" to attack every incoming enemies. Though Maple succeeded easily with her flying mount no one ever has lul And now she became even more OP, making the rank 1 player being worried about her guild. I kinda feel a snitch coming to their guild to gather information. |
 |
| this anime has alot of montages doesn't it also I hate escort mission |
 |
| Ah, this is our Maple, turning a difficult escort mission into a simple fetch quest instead. :D |
 |
| not a good story but I can't get enough....... too much skill is irritating ..... |

| Great, now she's an Avenger Archangel Tate no Loli or something, more powerful than ever! |
RobertBobert said: Oh come on guys! Are you still trying to seriously evaluate this show as an MMO image? This is a parody and a comedy. 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. |
| SSJ Maple! And her turtle learned the oozaru's mouth blast, lol. fejota said: Only it sacrifices HP, but since it seems that HP, VIT and DEF are the same stat in this show, Mapple can do it every time she pleases. I remember clearly seeing that increasing VIT in this game doesn't increase your max HP. HP are only on items and got by levelin up, afaik. |
| bruh |
| Dope 5/5 episode Maple's new angel form and outfit's so nice |
