| a fun finish to an SOLish anime. still hoping us humans can evolve enough to have real VR games. not sure i can play it in my lifetime, also guessing my kids still wont see it in theirs too. if only i were born like 100 years into the future lol... surprised how they didnt win the event since there were 7 godzillas, 1 of them even killed off the top players. was also surprised pain was a chill guy, thought hed be more of a 'sore loser' (prolly not a sore loser per se, but winning against an opponent +30 lvls above seems too broken) after getting OHKd. also feels kind of weird how chrome was the only guy in the gang (yep, also thought kanade was a guy too). hopefully the next season might show other chars more often. |

| And the demon lord Maple saves the day by eating the hero of justice and his friends...wait, something's off. And then the great devil Maple unleashed her army of demons onto the lands and slaughtered adventurers without mercy, happily ever after...hold on, that doesn't sound right either. In any case, that was outright insane. Well all in all, Bofuri turned out to be a real treat. The lighthearted approach made Maple's progress to final boss level absolutely hilarious and I couldn't get enough of her constant game breaking antics. The contrast between Maple's ditzy, cutesy personality and her menacing, overwhelming might made it all the better. I love that recurring insert song and it was an absolute riot when they played it during the PK fest this episode. The prospect of a second season has me more than ready to embrace more of Maple's divinity as a angelic, demonic, monstrous, nuclear gundam that turns into a poisonous ball of wool and flies on a giant turtle with twin loli Thor ready to rain thunder down on her foes. 8/10 |

| Such a great finale. I loved this anime. It was much better than I expected. Maple, Sally, May and Yui were my favorite characters. <3 Maple and her new skills and the wacky transformations were hilarious. :D 9/10 |

| It was a fun ride, can't wait for the next adventure in season two!! |
 |
| Whether female or male, the overpower thang can get very boring quickly. The "Mary Sue" aspect was just too much and almost ruined my oft fantasy of using shields in awesome ways. The show began well enough, but just got too repetitive. If it had been a true Isekai, or at the least a "Stuck in game" scenario", it would have added some good flavor to the show. Still it was okay and I might watch season 2. I still like shields lol :P |

| God I love this series! I can't stop smiling at this wholesome funny adventure of Maple. I love that last line "I'm just playing the game normally" and everyone chimes in lmao!! This series just screams fun. Its like a proper game with your friends and just a fun experience overall. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Wholesome SAO with wholesome OP Kirito lol Kidding, it is the total opposite of that edgy series, and it is amazing. I was not expecting to be this nice even being nothing pretentious all the time. Lets see S2 with more wholesome asspulled MMORPG cheats of our Canadian shield lol |
 |
| laughed like a monkey when Mii was scared facing this monster lool Then there was 7 monster shooting lazers everywhere 😱 Frederica was realy cute , as expected from the usual imouto VA Looking forward the next season since maple got 8 more member 😅 |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |

I still like shields lol :P I think you miss the whole message of the show, Bofuri is not about Maple being the most OP and best player in this anime, BUT the true message is just having FUN playing games with your friend and Not to be toxic. And I think that message make this anime one of my MOST Favorite anime of all time. |
| That was interesting. It was funny and entertaining when Maple stumbles across random skills through obscure means. I do wish it took itself a little less seriously though, there's a lot of action scenes that try to give the illusion that something bad will happen. But really we all know how it will end up. Overall 6/10. Decent I'd say, it would have been nice if some of the other characters had a little more life breathed into them over the 12 episodes. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I liked this series a lot! Maple is adorably ditzy and plays the game her own way. Misery without her hat is really cute! I think the green dev is voiced by Kuno Misaki but I can't read japanese so I can't confirm it. Looking forward to season 2! |

| Well at least Atrocity was her actual trump card, made me forget about the mecha thing a bit. Did not expect that "conclusion" of the tournament though, very open ending. First half was good, I enjoyed her just levelling up and finding ways how to break the game quite interesting. The guild stuff was also cool, even though most of the characters felt quite bland. The biggest problem for me was that mecha transformation which did not fit in there at all, also the last arc was way too long, the fighting was kinda boring. Even though the animation and art were really good as you would expect from Silver Link. 7/10 |
| I just rewatched it before I had rated it 7 now it's 8 :3 !! |
| I hope Maple won't feel pain as she wanted all along.. Will hope to see more wool Maple, angel Maple, and some other Maples.. ;P |
| This anime was more fun than I thought it would be. Solid 8 for entertaiment! |
| "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." |
| Loved this show very much. Bring on the Second Season. I'm excited to see what else are we gonna witness from Maple. Maple beat even the strongest out there and looks like it's just getting started. The party was a nice thing to do at the end. LOL. Maple... Too OP and the Devs are just struggling to keep her in check. Already have been nerfed before. LMAO |
 |
| I have to point out that payne was a really strong player and if maple didn't have so many trump cards she'd probably have been rolled easily. She needed atrocity, hydra, mech form, death protection, devour, the turtle and still barely won despite Payne not seeing the majority of her trump skills before. Was pretty entertaining overall, I think concept behind it is still by far the strongest point... she's broken because she had no preconceived notion of how to play these kind of games and is able to think in ways regular players and even the devs, won't. 8/10 |

| This show is so wholesome man I love it!! Great last ep and keen for season 2 :) |

| Adoro este anime, es uno de mis favoritos |

animelover44322 said: Even in an isekai, there would be people who resent Maple for being so OP. EVERYONE in this story is just happy go lucky. Even SAO has more human reactions from their characters.IMO, this anime would've been fine if it was an Isekai, but with it being a videogame, I can't hep but think of how terribly balanced the game is and how Maple's overpoweredness is effectively ruining the other players' experiences by steamrolling them. While turning into multiple monsters and one-hit killing everything while pretty much being invincible is cool, it seems contradictory as heck to the whole super-tank-with-no-other-stats thing that Maple was building up earlier on. The worst part is that Maple got these skills via dumb luck rather than effort put into the game. So you have a new player effortlessly destroying others who've been playing longer and working harder than her. And among the thousands of other players, no one even knows how she became so overpowered. |
| Keep scrolling |
| Ya so Maple used another bullshit transform effect that completely negates any possible drawback her build type is supposed to have. Instead of clever and creative combat/teamwork that could have come from a max defense character we just get bs like this that makes everything else irrelevant. "Once a day" sure but considering she seems to be able to stay in that form an indefinite amount of time that is also irrelevant. Totally fine tho let's not nerf that or anything. |
| It was a good show overall but I less liked the Orbs Arc, the "serious business fight" side is too generic and I find better when this anime is full chilly and wholesome. |
| Rewatching this episode again, two questions struck me : 1. If they created 6 imitations of Machine God instead, would that be better or worse to fight against ? I mean... One's a ground-walking six-limbed laser & fire breathing monster, the other's a flying macross-type mecha with the amount of firepower it had. 2. Does she actually simultaneously control all 6 precisely, just give vague orders like 'Move there, eat that' or are they some AI-controlled |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Fun show featuring our airheaded Maple with her unorthodox playstyle causing her to be the main terror for the other players and monsters as well as being a headache to the devs lol. |
 |
| Definitely not how I thought this event would end, but it was pretty fun to watch Overall I think I liked this show. I loved just how wholesome it all was! I'm glad I stuck around, especially after that whole sort of middle part of the show (I was really losing interest around there), but it picked back up for me towards the end! I think this is probably like a 7 or an 8 out of 10 for me 😁 |
