THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Episode 1 is shown prior to the TV broadcast as an early advance streaming on Abema TV and Muse Asia @ YT on Sept 19, 2330 JST (which are not viewable now).

First impressions: is it a mish-mash of SAO and Bofuri? Certainly it seems that way.

Yuna as an adventurer in her Kuma onesie, I'd say she didn't waste any time being a likeable character, though her external appearance doesn't look all that impressive. A perfect adage of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Her powers though, she doesn't relent on being a replica of Maple that's full of OPness.

One show that's better than expected, NGL. Now I'm very looking forward to this as part of the very stacked Fall lineup.

Mod Note: Please be careful about using spoiler tags in the thread

Game Start !!!

I like this, art is simple but cute. I don't know what to say, but it is clear that the bear design is very cute. The village is terrorized by a Black Viper, don't underestimate Kuma Onee-chan. I wish this could air today, lol.

It seems that Kuma Onee-chan really likes eggs, and also the adventurers in the guild were shocked when they heard Kuma Onee-chan beat the Black Vipers.

Event clear...

Right, so this is like a hybrid between Bofuri & SAO after all. "World Fantasy Online" and supposedly the first VRMMO game, it's clear as daylight where the inspiration comes from, lol.

MC seems like a fun protagonist and the episode wasn't bad at all so guess I'll keep up with this in the upcoming Fall season as well. Muse Asia really knows how to expand my seasonal counts but I accept that with pleasure.

Damn, did the MC pay for her parents vacation by the way? Lol, that really surprised me.

I stayed up late just to catch this special advance screening.
The art style is simple, but I like it, there's a charm to it.
Yuna looks cute, her bear outfit is adorable! And of course it grants her badass powers.

Can't wait for the rest to air in the upcoming season, and thanks to Muse asia for this advance broadcast!

Looks like I had too high expectations, the animation was just mediocre (many still images)... but it seems like it's gonna be fun :)

It's nice that they got the license for this series. Thier subs are usually a lot better than anything else (especially Funi and aniplex).

I think the picture is pretty good. I follow this manga and novel. And I really liked it a lot, but I thought the anime was a bit normal in the set. And in terms of the voiceover, I listened to it, well, it was fine. But it felt strange, it was strange. Makes it feel that the voice acting is sometimes appropriate Some or it doesn't look appropriate But for hurry, at first I won't judge that Is this a good one? I gave the middle score at 7, but hopefully it will improve.

Super cute, I really like when she’s in the game it just seems more like a Cutesy fantasy show instead of forcing the ‘game’ feel onto everything like bofuri and I hope it stays. Love Yuma’s VA but sounds more womanly than a fifteen year old But does help sell the facts she’s a 15yo self made(?) stock mogul(?). Wish she had paws instead of bear puppet hands and she’d run on all four for more speed. Great art liked this show a lot more than I thought:)

Ahh~ yes, Bofuri 2.0. A loli power fantasy. I don't think I need to watch the rest to know what it's about. I'll pass this one. Thanks.

And gosh, the MC could help a different VA. It doesn't suit the playful loli image at all cuz her voice is more into kuudere or emotionless girl type. And her cocky altitude is even worse to "bear" than Maple's airhead one. Altho story-wise, a teeny tiny bit better than Bofuri cuz they're not throwing "non-logical" game logics at every 15 sec to explain why MC is OP.

(Lol, I put this one on dropped list and it automatically changed back to PTW. Is it because this is early screening and not the official air date?)

Skipped content +

I don't know about the Japanese VA for Yuna either.

If I cut everything I know from the WN and manga, It's not bad but it definitely looks weird.
What's weird: Girl in late teens being happy in bear costume. R.I.P. Shy Yuna we never got to see.
Also, the fire bears didn't look very beary.

It's the special pre-aired from Muse Asia which can be only view from South East Asia, and some other countries in Asia only. And they delete the first episode after the air finished.

I was planning to read the LN for this. It surprised me that the first episode came out early. I still got time to read it though.

Yuna is a cute character and so are her two bears. It was funny how she just paid her parent vacation.

If I remember right from the web novel:
Yuna was someone who buys and sells stocks for herself. A stockbroker does it for other people.

This thread has been cleaned of spoilers.

There has been a lot of confusion for this episode/series as to what counts as a spoiler. So if you aren't sure about what counts because of source material or whatever other reason, there is no harm in using spoiler tags even if you wouldn't necessarily call it a spoiler, because other people might.

If other spoilers are posted, please just report it and don't try to self-moderate the thread.

Wow a score below 7, everything is very clear surely many have repudiated it for being one more story about a another VRMMORPG. SAO did a lot hurt, but the one who suffers its mistakes are others animes.

Ridiculous but fun to watch, she seems to be OP but who knows what her actual in game lvl is compared to what she faced in the episode, may or may not have a place to develop more powers and her character, but hopefully it will.

Btw just look at it, bot already attack this anime to give low ratings.
