I kind of feel bofuri won't really get better than first season tbh. It feel it may mellow down into regular cgdct since the plot gimmick which was building up already reached saturation. But i will be still watching it since i really love the characters.

One of my go-to comfort watches. I even bought the Blue-Ray. Must catch up on the books given I've had one open for months.

It was alright for the first 6 episodes then it just got boring

Moe aside, the whole show is basically a satire of OP players in MMO games.

Without going into too much depth to get spoilers, this anime loves to poke fun at how a poorly designed world or a reasonably skillful/lucky game can turn the player into a killing machine without any cheats or bad intentions.

I was thinking about this show for no reason early this morning wondering if I somehow missed season 2, checked MAL and there were talks of it being postponed and all kinds of rumours and forum posts from a few months back, hours later I see this news get announced. God I'm hyped, one of the few Isekai I've enjoyed.

My memory of it is kind of messy it’s been a while. I just see generic looking modern fantasy anime and then my mind just jumps to “oh it’s probably an isekai”

This is normal, especially when many fantasy shows use this dynamic or when MMO shows in the West get the isekai label.

Really it was that popular? As soon as the 1st season ended I literally never seen someone talked about this again that I also forgot this anime ever existed until I read this MAL announcement.

You are probably just not the target audience for this.

it's not about whether I like this or not, it's just I never seen someone talked about this anime outside of its own subforum at the airing season back then and outside of MAL.

It's one of those niche shows that people rarely talk about unless they're a fan of it or it's not very hyped for some reason.

IMO power fantasy was handled terribly here, because it came from utter incompetence of game developer. As an MMO player myself, that causes heavy cringe to see this noob getting power literally handed over to her for no reason and dominating the competition against players who are actually trying a little bit.

Technically this is confirmation of a delay since the original announcement said it was gonna air in 2022 sometime. I do hope that means it will be done right and not look rushed.

Not sure. This announcement only indicates September, the anime itself was already scheduled for 2023 earlier.
