| Damn Bofuri and Plunderer dropped today?? I have to get used to this schedule. So hard watching 22 shows a season lol. I'm surprised with how popular the threads have been for this. To my knowledge it isn't that big in the west... "Isn't that broken?" Wonder how often that's muttered in all pvp games. lol I'll just stand here and eat you The translator really nailed the chats. They sound like something people would actually say in-game. My favourite comment was from the last episode where when the shielder guy that Maple talked to said that she approached him first to ask about his shield. To this another guy replies with- She has definitely maxed her social skills. I wish we could get full dive technology IRL, man. Would be great to escape. |

| I really like the drawings and the animation, better than the first episode. The battles were nice. Maple is extremely cute, i love her! [100/100] |
 |
| seeing some replies here made me shake my head did you guys even see last episode that Sally has some trophies and achievements irl for participating at online games? In short, it's acceptable that she defeated that boss even with a low level in serious mode. She's like a player expert in games like these, starting out in this new game. Of course she'll instantly grasp how the game works, etc. |
 |
| Same here,though I have to wonder why some are saying those things,since A- It's not a game,its an anime. B- Don't underestimate the power of our Kami-sama Maple ;) Seriously though,her shield puts Naofumi's to shame :) |
 |
| These cute girls are too much (＾་།＾) Really liking this. Cute girls with a good dynamic and comedy that really lands well. For once I'm actually digging the game stuff too. Makes me want to play an MMO for the first time in over a year. I like how the characters have been conceived. Maple is the noob who has managed to break the game by playing it in a way no one else would think to. Sally is the experienced player that knows how to min-max everything. And I love how she didn't want to play a wizard becuase it would be too conventional! True gamer. "I took a pounding but I liked it" My kind of girl (─‿‿─) Just need to see a bit of fan service of these two small breast goddesses and preferably no cowtit girls and I'll happy with this whatever happens. |

| It does feel a little fast and Maple is seriously OP. That 3D fight underwater was so underwhelming. Decent episode, hoping for it to slow down a little bit to be honest, it's not laid back enough! |
| Maple win the event by camping and drawing nazca lines haha The look on the spectators when she use paralyzed attack with poison gas, maple has no chill lmao |

| That was fun kinda fast paced |
 |
| Another fun and engaging episode! but i hope something dark happens! but that's probably not gonna happen considering all the visuals we've seen on the OP. Damn Maple's to defensively OP! she ranked 3th on the event and defeated a total of 2028 players! WOW! her IRL friend is also a good gamer and her speciality is evade! I really thought she's gonna me a mage class but oh well. 5/5.

| I don't trust Sally -_- she seems like one of those people who are super envy, jealous and keep grudges. Maybe I'm giving too much thoughts to it. We'll see... |
| OH NO, Maple is getting more broken as her stats increase in the already-broken MMORPG world. WHAT A JOKE, it's so hilarious! And with it, the game's new event, the usual battle royale. IRL Kaede's interested, but her in-game character is even more ridiculous. But I love it when enemies try to attack her without hindsight, you'd think a shield is used for shielding, BUT NOPE, it's her legit weapon and she's NOT AT ALL scared, just surprised. Moe Shield Hero FTW! With that, her classmate Risa, IGN Sally, took a gamble and dived into the same game, and of course, her stats are the norm, unlike Maple, which her defense is her only start. And adventures galore in never-ending exploration to find bosses. But the decision to make that fight scene in CGI is just weird, it's a deep water scene but even in 2D it gets the job done quick. Good episode that flew by just as quick. |
 |
| Loving the music with vocals that played while Sally was levelling-up in the water cave. Reminded me of the time when Ragnarok Online was still new, and they released made a promo video with music! so much nostalgia from this anime.. |
Correctable said: Maple win the event by camping and drawing nazca lines haha The look on the spectators when she use paralyzed attack with poison gas, maple has no chill lmao the other players thought they have an easy kill with a lone girl just sitting there. They realized too late they walked into one of the hardest bosses in the game. :p well, I'm glad there are at least two people stronger or just as strong as Maple in this game. Those guys ranked 1 and 2. So she isn't very broken (yet). |
| hahahaha Maple one-shotting everyone that tries to attack her. I kept laughing as she cheerfully tapped her shield at all those poor dudes lol Also those three guys that tried to rush her used Jet Stream Attack! And now Maple's friend joins the game finally. Love her fight with the fish monter. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| what I expect from this anime is a girl with infinite DEF who really cannot deal damage at all. 'cause that would be funny enough. but it turns out to be a girl with Infinite BOTH DEF AND ATK. DAMN MAPLE-SAN IS TO DAMN OP. winning the third position of a battle royal camping at a spawn point. also nice Black Tri-Star reference out there |
  |
| This show is really funny. |
 |
| Its an anime that makes me laugh that alone already makes it so it is worth the time I spend. |
 |
| In case anyone is wondering how she's one-shotting people, Maple put 'Devour' on her shield's skill slot. Her shield is pretty much eating stuff on contact and converting them into MP and the magic crystals you see appear on the shield. Devour has an insane unlock requirement of eating lethal substances, so only Maple (with her insane VIT stat) can unlock it easily. Eating Explosive Ladybugs would've been instant death to other players. For people complaining about the author not knowing about MMOs — you just have zero imagination. If people like you were to become game developers, the game is guaranteed to be boring copycats of existing games. I think their game, New World Online, is a rogue-like game turned into an MMO. I've played games where killing monsters and eating their corpses will give you skills (if you don't die of food poisoning). Sometimes temporary buffs like invisibility or haste. Point is, if you think the game is OP, you clearly haven't played enough games. |

| last episode had me disappointed but this episode was good.. though I don't understand why maple is so powerful and how does her power work or even the game? i am enjoying this.. |

| What a fun distraction. Definitely recommend reading the manga so you can see all the things they left out, too ^__^ |
| Such a fun show and probably the surprise of the season. The way she got so broken is actually kinda realistic with thought put into it. And Maple is such an adorable character |
 |
| Maple's poison dragon attack reminded me very much of Magellan's devil fruit power in One Piece. |
| I really love how Sally never gets envious or bitter about Maple's success. THIS is the escapist fantasy I'm looking for- OP friends who support one another. |
| welp her friend seems even more broken than Maple herself lol |
 |
| I just want that insert song that play at 17:40 |
 |
| This is a fun anime. I love how nonchalant Maple was when she stunned her enemies fleeing for their lives and left them to slowly choke to death in a cloud of poison gas... lmaoo |
  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 |
| Another adorable episode. Now that Risa is with her, I'm sure they'll dominate this game. I want to see the blonde guy's face. I'm sure it's really a girl with a guy avatar though. |
| 臭い- |
| You people really need to relax and don't take this anime too seriously, as the anime itself doesn't. Just watch it and have a good laugh or smile, it's definitely something you can watch while eating or just want to relieve your stress. That aside, the voice actor of that mascot is definitely the one who voices Saber Nero xD |

KhayalCorp88 said: She defeated a dragon by just biting it, so how with ordinary gamer ? Well, 1 thousand.....hmm....not...maybe 1 million won't enough to stop her. After all, she just get an ability to eat any attack. This broken character can't be more stronger, right? Or maybe, she can? I thought this show only went into CGDCT ( Cute Girls Do Cute Things) but it's not. This show literally become "Cute Girls Destroy the Entire World" with their OP abilities. Sally will join Maple in attempt to destroy the game. And Maple didn't noticed what she already done. LOL And then they said, this is just the first floor. The second floor about to be opened. My fear just become true. Somehow Maple reminds me of Nadeko from Monogatari Series. Very dangerous person but also an airhead. Beside from those, if this show use more CG, it would be a bad thing. Looking at furry announcer movements on battle royale event, any CG is not good for this show. But so far, it's OK. That one is already enough. Surprisingly, the CG when Sally was fighting the boss wasn't that bad though, well of course it's not on Land of the Lustrous level but I've seen worse. patormov said: This show is a boring shit, the protagonist receives everything easy, the enemies are garbage, she is too strong and there is no tension, or drama, or anything in this garbage Like I said before, stop taking this anime too seriously, judging by your profile I bet you just watch this because it's got the "Shield" part. This is just cute girls doing cute things type of stuff, definitely won't go deep in the story like Raise of Shield Hero. If you don't enjoy it then it's clearly not for you, move on and watch other anime. it's really that simple. |

knigurai said: And judging from the OP theme, looks like they'll be joining a guild as well. Something to look forward too.First ep was a little boring to me. Monotonous. And now i see why. You just can't make a real adventure with only one hero. With Ri... i mean with Sally it's become way more fun. |
