| I just love how the first half of this episode was just "DIE ANTS!!! FALL BEFORE THE MIGHT OF YOUR GODDESS MAPLE!!!!!!!!" Mii's reaction to learning Maple was fine was great. So it seems the best player and Maple have finally fought and Maple is in a pinch for once. I really just want her to do the usual and DESTROY him lol. See all the energy drain from their faces as the strongest player ever is slaughtered in front of them by best girl. Also he wants to "conquor" Maple lol. That could be taken the wrong way XD. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Finally, the battle of Maple Tree's Maple (strongest defense) vs. Flame Emperor's Mii (strongest lance). This one battle is holy shit intense! May and Yui alone with Maple against the strongest players of Flame Emperors, a 3-on-3 even battle. Instead, Maple chose to go solo to protect the young kids with Turtle, and even then, they're barely scratching Maple's insane defense, and preservance sought them through with their strongest attacks. AND YET, Maple is Unbreakable with her attacks from her Mecha, and...WOW, JUST WOW. Markus and Misery were defeated, but Mii self-destructs, and even that, defeat for Maple Tree without their orb. It's such a doozy that Mii went deredere from all that ordeal, and staying light-hearted even post-battle. That was fun! With that, the attack strategy change to combat other guilds and protect their orbs are back in session. Concerning about the top spot guilds, the dead players hope that Maple Tree can be on stop (and us too). Maple Tree vs. The Order of the Holy Sword, seems like they're in for this too, Payne and Co. being the final opponents, even more for a Round 2. With Maple's defense slowly breaking, that was a nasty cliffhanger after she releases her held-back defense control and Payne one-shots her. Here's hoping Maple will survive this ordeal for the final episode! This series has been wonderful so far. |
 |
| Damn that fight was actually intense! Really enjoyed that fight with Mii. And in the last minutes of the ep Payne launches a surprise attack! I'm very excited to see the next episodse. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| That Machine God scene was really epic!! I didn't expect Mii to use a Self Destruct skill to take down Maple, but that whole battle was something else!! Mii has such a cute personality, so cold and cool in battle, so adorable when she gets defeated!! Payne has made his move with only 4 of their guild!! The 2 toughest guild going head to head!! Holy shit that cliffhanger though!! |

Joniruler said: Hope that we can get a 2nd season soon and not have to wait +2 years, this anime is solid good also the novel is way ahead of the anime so they have enough content to do another 12 episodes. Please Silver Link. Please. if a second season happen. they should hire the same director and animation studio.. to be sure the good quality would stay the same. :) |
| Taking off the orb eh, quite a well-thought move but you won't earn points in return. Well here we are : 1# rank guild sent its best players to confront Maple Tree : she seems in a dangerous position but I kinda expect a skill she's unaware to possess which suddenly shows up. Go Go Maple Tree ! |
 |
| This is Girls&Panzer level of fun. The dark horse of the season. |
| honestly if it wasn't for those two godly forms which kicks any form of rules out the window the first fight was fairly decent at showing a group of smart skilled characters handle Maple and her own limits but it ant that kind of show so she took out the big guns cheat codes i'm gonna pretend and be super naive in hopes she loses next week it'd be like when you see a aim bot hacker actually lose to someone that's earned their spot as a good player |

SkyLETV said: Man, this is so freaking awesome and hype! First that Maple vs Mii with Maple being literally a killing machine. And then Payne destroying Maple... for now. Mii is too cute. Don't make her cry. ;_; the gap moe of Mii is really cute. ^^ use holy sword to kill loli. Damn you Payne!! >< |
Led_Wayline said: I cannot fathom the developers' thought process. Did they truly expect that integrating a bloody Strike Freedom into their medievalesque fantasy game would end up well? Well, certainly not for Mii... At least there was a person able to land a solid blow on Maple. Strike Freedom Maple has Kira Yamato level of plot armor. Poor Mii has no chance. ;_; |

| Now Loading..... |

| bruh |
HeroVladimir93 said: What the heck is this!? What the heck am I watching!? Just when I think this show couldn't get any worse, this happens. Maple beats Mii, with almost no damage. Mii was the more sympathetic fighter during the whole battle. She slowly realizes she cannot get past Maple's OP weapons and yet she chooses to fight on, with the determination and bravery worthy of a shonen hero. Seriously, if this was any other story, Mii would be the heroine. Unlike Maple, Mii has something to prove and something work for. Maple is just coasting through the whole game, without really learning anything or dwelling on anything or even setting up any personal goals. And when Mii breaks down upon realizing her defeat, that doesn't make her villainous, that just makes her sympathetic. This show must be doing something totally wrong when it makes me root for the rivals instead of the protagonists. I was actually cheering for Payne when delivered a critical hit on Maple. Yeah, I'm actually rooting for anyone other than Maple at this point. Bofuri is like the dark side of the Force. The more I hate it, the stronger it seems to get. This show is an insult, not only to my patience as a viewer, but to traditional storytelling. The heroine is OP, her teammates praise the ground she walks on, and the antagonists are completely defenseless against her. The sooner this show ends, the happier I'll be. Why tf are you even watching it? I will never understand people like you, who watch an anime just to shit on it |

Number 25 again on Trending. The 184 dislikes are no match for the 10,000 likes. :p |
| I like how Mii watches in horror as Maple obliterated all her allies, that's a villain right there. I love Ainz from Overlord but hoo boy do I want to see a cute and innocent villain. Maple definitely left with 1 HP there. We all know what that means, Maple throwing away her humanity. It's that boss from the 74th floor of SAO Payne is one arrogant mf, Maple eat every bit of him next episode? I'm just gonna copy paste some pretty funny comments I saw on youtube. Maple: Self offering love deactivate Payne: I win! Maple: Demon Lord mode activate Payne: Surprised pikachu face Payne: [Holy sword of judgement] Maple still 1 hp left Maple: “You should've gone for the head” Misery: "We should be satisfied that we were able to see her trump card." Maple: "Trump card? Pfft, I've got a whole trump deck!" Maple: "all of that for a drop of blood" |

| I'm really sad this only has one episode left; Shield-loli is probably my AOTS. |
  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 |
| that last move was awesome! |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| Maple really take a lot of punishment this episode. I only now realized she also took that hit when Kuromu was distracted and got hit hard, because angel mode was still in effect. The suicide bomb by Mii did not do much because Maple has that "bomb eater" skill from episode 2. |
| I never thought I'd wish for a character to have a bullshit power up until today. GOOOO MAPLEEEEEEEEEEEEE GET SOME BULLSHIT POWER UP AND WIIINN DEUS EX MACHINAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| A cliffhanger, that was quite the dramatic ending. But it works. I barely even realize I'm watching an mmo game, and it's not even VR. That battle with Flame Emperors one hell of an epic match. Mecha Maple is the best!!!! 😍😍 And Mii's real personality is so adorable. I love how she switches between them.  |
 plz @ me |
| Not much battle result happen toward versus with Mii-chan. Maple got Rekt so hard. Her reaction toward Mii attack too slow. Even Mii's attack arrive first than Maple 'Cover Move'?But, at the end, as the plot said, Maple wreck everything. Flame Emperor destroy. Twin lolis should have died there, so useless. Mii and the Gangs did a pretty clever move. Why Maple why you being dumb? After some skip battle, they go home, and the last battle onward. Maple, the last boss, at last, got super rekt. Now its Holy Sword guild to shine. In this point i am surprised. The hell? I never think they will move as fast as that to conquer a little guild like Maple. Even at that event time, they still in the middle of the time limit event. Too fast! Their member enjoy the unbalance attack too? Poor Maple and the team. What should they do? They do nothing. Do not have much time. I give Pain salute here. His desire to battling with Maple made me mad. But, Maple must learn hurt in this world, and preferably, the death scene. So she can learn how to defend better. Hell, why she cant spell such an easy word in fast? She cant even think the best move to counter Pain attack. All she can do just yell hard, and never had a chance to transforn. Omg. Cliffhanger end put this whole show to my rage. Can i have a good end? Or put Maple into some loser? My guess for next episode, wild plot will come for nowhere, to save Maple ass. And boom! The NWO vanished. Game over. |

| Pretty intense episode with lots of good action. Maple soloed the flame emperor guild XD. Also nice build up for the finale, hope this season ends with a bang. |
 |
| wth was that at the start, she was so close and she couldn't get to the twins. That was intense at end, that Payne guy looks like the real deal and I thought that Mii was the real deal, but Payne is another level. I wonder if she will survive that, hopefully she won't, to show that even she can lose. |
| The stakes aren't high in this, she could lose at least one fight to change things up a little,,, |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| They're not even going to pretend to explain how she survived Mii's self-destruction? lol What even was this episode |
 |
Crazy_Cofee_Cat said: They're not even going to pretend to explain how she survived Mii's self-destruction? lol What even was this episode because they don't need to explain it. Bomb Eater episode 2. Reduce explosion damage by 50%. |
| Hope maple has some sort of invincible skill that makes here immortal or gives a revive lol |
 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. |
| holy shit, that machine firing multiple beams non stop, SCARY! let me rewatch that part again easily one of my favorites of this season, please season 2 <3 |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
SidVicious said: KuroiKizu said: Let's face it: We need a second season after the episode next week Also I hope Maple has some crazy shit left to destroy Pain or at least reach a draw :3 She has that monster form. also skill Unyielding Guardian, so she will survive but will have only 1HP. |

I will never understand people like you, who watch an anime just to shit on it I watch what I watch because I want to watch it, plain and simple. I didn't watch this show just to shit on it, I genuinely wanted to it enjoy it, but ultimately it didn't work. I couldn't enjoy this show, which is why I'm criticizing it. If you don't like my criticisms, that's fine, but remember that criticisms are ultimately opinions and you neither have to like them nor agree with them. That's the beauty of having an opinion. nah, say what you like bro. Every popular show has a few haters or two. Even if you write walls of text on how you dislike this show, point is you are only one person. only one dislike. This show is already a success with thousands of people liking it, and there's nothing you can do about that. |

The heroine is OP, her teammates praise the ground she walks on, and the antagonists are completely defenseless against her. The sooner this show ends, the happier I'll be. I may be mistaken but it looked to me like she lost about half her HP, so she didn't take "almost no damage." I like this show because Maple is cute and there are many MMO aspects that I like that they're showing such as the interconnectivity of the game mechanics and the episode when she was doing a quest that she was too high of a level for. That is very relatable. Additionally, I liked how earlier in the show they were mixing life in the game and real life which seems to be lacking in other MMO genre shows. For me, a show doesn't need to have a main conflict to be resolved to be good. Also, (since I'm an anime only) I was a bit confused as to why were there a bunch of people outside the game that said they were killed when other players respawned in the event when they were killed. Do players have a certain number of respawns and when they run out they have to leave the event, or is there something else going on? |
| Kinda dissapointed with the anticlimatic ending vs Mii :< Also, did this episode animation quality kind of falling a little bit? I noticed a little off model in some of the faces. That cliffhanger ending though, can't wait for more Maple powerup bullshit xD Payne is gonna get fucked |
| What an intense episode! For sure one of the best so far. A lot of badass fighting, a lot! xD I thought that Maple was going to use her 1hp skill back when she was fighting the fire girl, but apparently she didn't, so it will be activated now, she can't die! I noticed one interesting thing, her shield didn't have any devour consumption, does that mean that it refreshed already? One of the best scenes of this episode!  |
