| The first episode seemed entertaining to me. I've read much of the novel and manga. For those who believe that the anime changed a few things from the original source, let me say this. Impatient for the next episode and hearing my cute wife Waki Azumi sing. |
Being alone is not synonymous with being lonely.   |
| I thought the first episode was okay. I liked the battle with the giant snake and the celebration soon after. I don't understand why Yuna is in a bear costume with bear puppets and bear shoes. The ending was interesting. It looks like she lives by herself. She's also rich since she transfers a lot of money to her parent's account and doesn't go to school. Hopefully, the next episode will have some backstory to both her as a person and her character in the game. |
| Only I am only embarrassed that the show has not premiered yet, but people are already rating and writing reviews? |
 |
| At least for now it seems it will be comfortable series but for now isn't as funny and fights aren't animated as good as Bofuri. Most likely I will watch entire series. :) |

(Finished) - If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished) - Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished) |
| I like Yuna's voice. So kawaii. Also that's one intelligent monster snake. It knows Yuna would shoot something into it's mouth, so it did a headbutt instead of trying to swallow her. well, I dislike snakes.. so glad one got poofed right on the first episode. if the enjoyment continue, then I will buy something from this anime. :) |
| That was a nightmare. This anime reminds me of fucking bofuri. And Imo It suffer from the same problems, it have to many males in it The boy hes father and that idiot wearing earnings all of them pissed me of . Especially the boy! He was loud I dont like loud anime males it annoys me The first episode didn't suit my personal taste very well. But I'll like the cute little bear loli on the other hand . If future episode is going to contain less males it may be something I find interesting |

| Well, not all heroes wear capes, you have a cute badass going on killing beasts with a plushie Kuma costume. That was charmingly fun and interesting. |
 |
| Well, the first episode was kind of a let-down. The novel and the manga are both in chronological order. But then they do this here. It's misleading. People who are not manga/novel readers might be led to believe that these events are happening inside the VRMMO. THIS IS WRONG. Yuna never played as a bear and never wanted play as a bear. These events are from quite a bit later (C39-41) in the story and completely unrelated to the VRMMO (C1). I hate it when they screw up the timeline of something originally told in chronological order. I also hate it when they alter the details for no good reason. In this case, they could've easily fit it all in without changing it. They only covered 3 chapters. One of the worst offenses: The comments in the guild make it seem like they're placing their hopes on a high-ranking adventurer called Deborane and that Yuna is now his rival since she's capable of defeating a black viper solo. THIS IS WRONG. Deborane is a low-ranking trash that would not stand a chance against a Black Viper. ------ I don't typically approve of novel readers shitting on an anime, but when they make it worse for no good reason, it's well-deserved criticism. So, to the people who like this anime: Read the novel - it's even better. If novels don't appeal to you, read the manga - it's better too, since it follows the novel. This story is best as originally written - changing it will only make it worse, not better. To get the full enjoyment out of this series, you need the full unedited version of the story. |

| I don't see anything wrong with the MC's voice. Sounds good for the kind of blasé, detached character she is portrayed as in the episode. Her VA has a nice deep voice: What I'm really wondering is |
 |
| forgot to say.. I'm glad that kid is not a main character in this show. that constant screaming hurt my ears.. |
Liddo-kun said: forgot to say.. I'm glad that kid is not a main character in this show. that constant screaming hurt my ears.. Can you believe that this type of character would normally be the protagonist? yep the 90% of anime should always be starred by an annoying guy and the rest are cute girls, it's frustrating to see most of the cast as such charming girls, but the main character is totally unpleasant |

Won't be reading any posts here to avoid spoilers from manga and LN readers. I just know someone quoted me, but won't be reading your post. ;) |
| Funny first episode, enjoy it quite a bit, and I get vibes from Bofuri (shield heroine) whcih instead of using a shield and maxing out on her defense, she has a power suit of a bear. Basiclally that would be the theme of the whole series, and it seems funny and cute enough to get me interested. |
| "Miharu denki desu" |
| I've read the manga and parts of the LN before so I knew what to expect. That being said, it's a cute episode so far. Yuna's voice is actually slightly deeper than I had thought though. A rather interesting choice for the VA. Definitely also getting some Bofuri vibes from this. Sure didn't take long for Yuna to introduce her familiars. Hopefully they can make the comedy work out for rest of the anime. It's a pretty lighthearted franchise. |

| MORE INFO / SPOILERS, IF YOU WANT THEM RelaxingEchidna said: Surprised to see them not fall off the bears at a fast pace of speed. LordPonczek said: I thought she stuck in this game but ending blew my guesses away. So Yuna gets real money for killing monsters in game? I want it too :( Ashhk said: Another VRMMORPG anime lol seems fine though, OP kuma girl can be interesting Nunbo_Arbur said: I don't understand why Yuna is in a bear costume with bear puppets and bear shoes. Crowterrror said: Yes. WN Original. LN is basically the same as WN (with pictures). Manga follows original plot.when its episode 2? in 14 october? i really see the episode 1 and i need more any know if its based in manga or ln? thanks Any of those versions is better than this version. (which so far seems to be cut, changed, and out of order) GanguroGal said: Yes, that is what they did. We joined the story at Chapter 39 of the LN. It's not originally written that way - they fucked it up just for the anime.Did the writing feel odd to anyone else. Despite beign a first episode or a preview, it felt like we were joining in media res. Or even half way through a season... Eleiyas said: Not read the LN or the manga myself and only found out about this series due to looking at upcoming anime. I did see a couple of spoilers in this thread last night before they got cleaned, but wow. Have to say, this first episode "teaser" feels more like an episode that you'd watch half-way into the series! Also, from spoiling myself after watching the episode and reading your own comment, it does feel and seem as though the anime has really taken a dump on the source material. Is this meant to be an Isekai, or a SAO style of thing? because from the spoilers, it's more SAO-style, but then from watching this episode it's more on the lines of Bofuri, with the episodes just taking place inside the game, with very little outside-game stuff going on. This goes against the whole "being sucked into a game" thing that I saw on a synopsis somewhere. ------ The novel is very well-written, and narrated in first-person by Yuna in greater detail than they'd ever be able to include in an anime. Trimming down and rushing her internal monologues makes her feel like an arrogant character - which is not actually the case. Going by this episode, they haven't actually cut out that much. (of the chapters they covered, at least.) My biggest gripes are: 1. Changing things that don't need to be changed - for the worse. (Particularly things related to major plot events.) 2. Screwing up the sequence of a story intended to be told in chronological order. 3. The stylized backgrounds and overly exaggerated animations and sound effects that make the whole thing feel like a joke. It feels completely out-of place in the context of the original plot. ------ |

| @Nyaa That's hilarious, hopefully, the anime will show it. Thank you for telling me. |
| Not gonna lie, this was a pretty entertaining start. Seems wholesome, yet looks really silly. That being said I am still a bit sceptical on the whole premise right now, as what I have seen in this episode, doesn't add up to the synopsis (yet). Yuna is cute though and unlike most here, her voice doesn't bother me. For now it's to stay and I look forward to see what the next episode will bring me. |

Bufori was also a VRMMO.  |

Eleiyas said: No, you're not the only one.also, am I the only person who didn't appreciate the amount of still imagery and weird disconnect between scenery art-style and character art-style? The extensive use of still imagery made it feel "cheap", the scenery seemed "intentionally fake", the animation felt "staged" (like poor acting), and the characters felt "exaggerated". The appearance of the bear suit was also changed - probably to make it easier to animate - but it looks like a lower quality product now. It's supposed to be God-Tier equipment, but they made it look shabby. Despite the addition of motion and color, it falls short of the manga art novel illustrations. |

| Wow a fluffy anime with VR huh, this is definitely my thing. I already like Kuma onee san, she's so adorable. |
 |
| I like how nonchalant she is about all this though, like during the black viper fight. Also she sells/invests in stocks? lmao the first i’ve ever seen that in any anime. |

| Honestly not a fan of the voice choice for Yuna. Was a bit more boring that I remember. Don't think this show had much of a plot to begin with, let alone any major conflict, so them doing episode1 like this probably doesn't make a difference. |
| wow, this was very bad. Huge disappointment! They skipped many many chapters, and jumped right into it, making it impossible to understand it for anime onlys. Also, very bad voice for Yuna IMO |
 |
| Huh... there's a lot of stuff skipped... and she didn't isekai? And I didn't expect her voice to be that low considering how cheery she was when I read her lines. I hope they don't butcher it as I love the manga. |
| All men, kings or peasants, die equally. |
| The title should be Boring Boring Boring Meh. Nothing really stand out. SAO Alternative GGO was much better if the target is just to go around doing things in a game. If the original story isn't like that, then it's a direction f*ck up in the very first episode. |
| Well I learned one thing from watching the first episode, looks can be very deceiving. Just because she looks like a cute bear does not mean she cannot fight. Seems like it's gonna be an MMORPG with a cute bear girl fighting big monsters. |
 |
| I mean I already expected I wouldn't like anime adaption considering what I like the LN for, but they moved the events so much I'm not even sure if they'll be able to get out of this without any plotholes. ...unless they're really planning on making it VRMMO. Yuna's voice is noice tho |
| Wow that was almost as bad as 'I'm standing on a million lives', unlike that one I at least managed to pull through the episode till the end. Insta drop |
| I love Yuna!!! LOL I thought the episode overall but as a character I've fallen in love with Yuna. I thought her VA did a fantastic job! I love how nonchalant she is! Looking forward to more of this series. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Well that was quite enjoyable. Too bad it's not that great visually. Another thing I found a bit weird is the voice of the MC, it's not what I expected and it feels different but I'm getting used to it. I am definitely on the side of the people the first time they see her, the bear suit is so ridiculous that you wouldn't expect anything from her xD... But on the other hand, it's also cute af! I'm curious about the bear costume, it seems that they put us in the middle of the story and I would like to know more about how all this works. |

| I really enjoyed the premiere. I thought the MC's voice would be a bit "moe", but that's okay. Also, anyone noticed that Yuna was mounted on white bear and Kai on the black one, but when they arrive at the city, they are changed? Anyway, I liked it a lot. Seems pretty fluffy <3 |
 |
| Feels like we missed the explanation why MC looks like that. Anyway the setting seems pretty boring to me and barely anything is animated except for the main roles. |
