| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah yes, MMORPG has social networks which means Maple wanting to build a guild together isn't something totally surprising. The trick is forming a group together with so many diverse skills though. Luckily, Maple is someone who can make friends with easily. |
 |
| So a guild is formed and all their friends joined they even recruited two new members who seemed to be a bit insecure about their level and powers. There where also a bit clumsy which was funny to watch. Well it will be nice the see how they develop tho. |
| Cool episode, now they have a guild and Maple is the guild master, it's a big yes for Yui and May, they are adorable and I love their chara design |
 |
| Maple confusing gaming with real life. xD Don't have the black armor, so the dodge ball hurts. So nice, they have a guild now. Time to recruit members. :) That giant deer feels much easier this time. I guess just like in real games, a boss is easier if you already know the attack patterns EDIT: really like this anime. I have the the ending theme cd "Play the World" pre-ordered (with poster and autograph by Riko Sasaki). ^^ |

| Really good episode. Pretty cool that they Maple and Sally formed a guild and got new members Kasumi. Yui and May at the end were funny, destroying that table. |
 |
| Maple Tree, kinda expected a name like that from Maple, lol. Also, now we have one max def loli and two max atk lolis. |
 |
| I'm not surprised May and Yui are OP as well, I had that feeling from those twin sisters from the beginning. |
 |
| It was funny when she pose for combat when the random guy bumped into her but the dodge ball joke was a bit of a cringe to me. I liked the guild house and their guild name. Love the new addition of the twins as well, more players who might make the devs cry again XD.... |
 |
| That casual comedy about Maple mistaking MMO with RL was both adorable and funny. I want to see more of that. Maple and Sally are too OP, and it seems those 2 pure STR type girls will be too in the coming future. The world isnt unique let alone interesting, but the characters more than make up for it. This is so fun to watch. |
  |
| Why is this only 12 episodes D: I can already tell I'll be needing more! lol |
| Just how does this anime manage to be so fun???? Really, I know people say this phrase a lot, but this was really the fastest 20 minutes I've ever seen, holy shit, it didn't even feel like 5 minutes had passed and the episode had already ended! Like, I started this episode thinking about how people would abuse this system where time goes more slowly compared to real life and I was already thinking stuff like "schools would launch softwares with the whole school programs and subjects inside and students wouldn't actually have more free time because it would increase the competition and real life expectations and their brains would fry with how much information in such a little amount of time they would get, and then...". But fuck it, I don't care about any of this, this show delivers too much fun for me to care about such trivial matters about the impact of some time bending software in the real world, what matters is that Maple is just too adorable and the fights always looks so good and this anime is just sooo much fun (yeah, I know I already said this is too much fun three times)!!!! Love it. Oh, and the section before the OP was really funny, I kinda wish we got the whole episode with them away from the game for a change of scenery for a bit, but the episode was great anyway. Also, in this episode, Maple summed up the whole anime in one sentence:  |

| Can't wait to see how broken those new members get lol. |
| That tree was a really good find. I would definitely prefer something like that in a nice quiet forest then something in a main city. That last part was very funny, at least we know the potential those 2 could have with maxed out strength. |

| Lol too much gaming can indeed be quite embarrassing. Having a base that you can call home within the game though sure will be nice. Given the size of the game guilds are to be expected. Still forming a guild is an excellent move on the girls part as MMO's are far better with friends. Maple tree though sure was a nice name. Given the guild's makeup recruitment is necessary though picking up Yui and May sure was a surprising move. Though the guild at least will provide a safe place for them to get used to the game and level up safely. Sally's use of shadow clones though was a nice reference to Naruto. Though newbee's the strength of Yui and May sure was on a level equal to Maple herself. Overall a pretty calm ep that focused on expanding the scope of Maple and Sally's activities within the game via the forming of a guild. Though still small the power level of the newly christened Maple Tree is starting off on a good start thanks to the skills of its members. Im quite curious to see the skills that Yui and May bring to the table though given their strength. |

| Sasuke finally got a harem lol |
 |
| Kaede was so adorable in the real world. I was so expecting her to say "Quick Step" or whatever that skill was called when she was playing the ball game XD. Maple never ceases to be adorable. Maple now has two kouhai who can follow in her footsteps lol. She'll teach them the ways of being broken with a maxed out stat. Maple being the guildmaster is nice. She has the power and authority now. This is perfect XD. Good at poison. She'll watch behind her invincible shield as her enemies slowly melt infront of her lol. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Maple managed to find some interesting minions. With impressive headbutting prowess, no less... The combination of Maple, May and Yui ought to be even more destructive. |
| sally should have been the guild master... she is way more interesting.. |

| That dodgeball must have hurt, no defence that can save Maple from that impact XD A guild is formed and what a fitting guild house. Maple becoming the guild master was no surprise. She found members straight away with the friends she made at the beginning. May & Yui are interesting, Maxed out strength... This guild is going to be the embodiment of broken, can't wait to see more! |
 |
| I was not expecting this series to become as popular as it has on here.. pretty cool. Was really nice to see how Maple and and Risa get on outside the game in school. You can take the girl out of the game, but not the game out of the girl. Guildmaster Maple is doing an awesome job already. I love how they're just using Syrup as a primary transportation method, lol. What I really like about this series is that it doesn't masquerade as a seriously deep show or something with a lot to take away from it. It's cute girls having fun and being happy. That's quite therapeutic and a fun way to relax in between grad school lectures. Wish more people(outside of Reddit and MAL, i.e FB, Twitter, most anime fans, etc.) would check this out |
 |
| LOLS Kaede you should really take a rest! Confusing the game with real life isn't gonna do you any good xD The Sabbath is taken, and Maple is back in NWO, with new updates and improvements. Now Sally and Maple can build a house, and while at it, establish their very own guild. With recurring characters (Kasumi, Kaname, Chrome, Iz), "Maple Tree" is birthed, and Maple is the Guildmaster. Would've been interesting if Sally was it instead, but take it for what it gives. The introduction of May and Yui...breathes the same breath as Maple in full maxed-out attack and no agility. And back to the dungeon where Maple flamed out the last time, Sally takes the cake. Just wondering if the both of them is just as broken as Maple in terms of skill...and they did...break the table (which speaks volumes). That was such a funny moment! Another fun episode in the books! |
 |
| The whole guild-making process happened pretty quickly, was it also like this in the source material? It'll be interesting to see how those two new members who maxed out attack develop in the future. |
| I'm really surprised how an average (ain't saying in a bad way) production like this anime manages to offer so much beautiful landscapes, locations and screenshots. It's really not something you could expect from that kind of anime I just love Maple's guild HQ and where it's located. It just feels ...great.  |

| This episode brought me back to my middle-school years when I used to play World of Warcraft. Some old players here might remember, but in Dalaran (Wrath of the Lich King Era) and then in Orgrimmar (Cataclysm era), there were some bugged/glitched spots where it was possible to stand on your mount even if the game didn't really allow it. And I remember standing there on my rare mounts... nobody cared but I was just happy to show off that my long weeks of afkbrain farming eventually were a success. |
 |
| Good Episode 7/10 |
 |
| Guild competition, next is Worlds then I'll need to see the guild posing like your typical E-sport team.. |
| Maple's creating a meta lmaooo I hope Sally is like secretly a sadist when she gets into it bahahaha |
  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 |
| a few more thoughts on the episode.. wow, the twins have a Zidane level of headbutt. Destroyed the table, and they were not even trying to. :D people are jealous that Kuromu got into Maple Guild.. well, he looks like a nice enough guy. Only thing I don't like is he casually reveals in chat about what guild members can do... this could turn into a disadvantage if he blabs something important later.. the weapon crafter Iz is now a part of the guild. I wonder if she would still charge members for her services? nice to see Maple still has some discipline. Stayed away from the game for awhile after some awkward experiences at school. xD |

Sally grinded out that bug and 5 million gold by farming prismatic scales from fishing. |
 |
| Kinda surprised she managed to pull the Shield guy and the craft girl she met into the guild. I figured they'd already be in one lol. Their guild if they train right is gonna end up top notch. Two shielders, one speedster, two maxed out attack, a random skill user, a craftier, and a sword user. Get a healer and people who magic and they should be set honestly. Though another shielder or two would be great also. |
| B O O S T E D! Strong lolis. |

Chazea said: This is so boring am I the only one who thinks this. No you are not the only one, after 6 episode I think I can say that the only thing I like from this show is the cuteness !!! |
| So one of the people talking in the Maple's insane things post is the shield guy. Wonder if this will lead to some kind of betrayal (?) |
 |
| I wouldn't mind joining that guild, would like to float on that turtle. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

I would also like to add monk/martial artist (I mean martial arts are cool), merchant (so they would never need to worry about money, someone who buy rare stuff and know one or two gossip) and Bard (OST would be nice). ;) |

| Interesting how Maple's name is very close to the seiyuu, I wonder if that influenced the casting, something like "hey this one sounds great and even the name is close" also, Maple Tree is a great name and they even have a Syrup pet. |
