It is like they never left, so much so that they even used S1's OP.

The simultaneously most overpowered and most adorable video game hero! All the glory of Maple shines again! Many shows from 2020 getting sequels this winter. Maple and her guild of fellow overpowered players are once again grinding after unlocking the next level. Everyone knows once those new updates hit to get there. Its nice seeing all the members of Maple Tree again, along with the previous flying Syrup. Everyone showing off their skills especially Sally as she field Frederica again. Having to use a secret skill to win but coming out on top. The animation in their duel looked really good. I have to say the whole episode animation looked probably even better than the first season did. Payne later during the event had some good animation. Him and Maple teaming up while she had to stay in that monster form was hilarious. I'm glad to see all three of the maim guilds we've seen gather for a big celebration before their next time facing off.

Finally the new season is here! I missed Maple and Sally.
As always Maple is so cute, funny, a bit airhead and... overpowered. XD
I liked to listen once again the first opening.
The quality of animation seems high as the first season.

Not a great way to start a season 2 especially three years later.  I barely remember any of the characters besides Maple and Sally and I know this isn't a plot heavy series but it really should've tried harder to at least re introduce the cast

They are still using same opening as previous season and osts hasn't changed that much.
Bofuri hasn't changed that much the quality still the same. 

I hope we can get a new opening and ending xD

Really weird, I feel like I don't remember anything except main characters. I remember I enjoyed first season but I don't know anything about it anymore. It was hard to follow this first episode because of that...

I really wish Sally wasn't in this show. She's such a garbage character.

With that out of the way

Kasumi turning into a loli with the obviously cursed sword was hilarious

maple the GOAT teaming up with payne was unexpected, but great. The strongest sword and the sturdiest shield 🛡.

Solid start to the season. Looking forward to this

I love this anime far more than I probably should, so to see it back for season 2 is so exciting. It's not perfect, but the vibes are perfect and I feel like I'm watching genuine people just play games together. So hyped for the 4th floor, and to see how Maple will continue to baffle the admins. Also, the return of Syrup makes me so damn happy. I love that damn turtle.

funny if they would be using those Christmas weapons later on to whack other players.

Not the ideal way to start the new season. This episode would have worked as a special. Regardless, it's good to have this back and this episode was fun.

Lol I forgot like 70% of the characters, too bad they didn't do a small recap or anything since it's been almost 3 years I think and this anime wasn't memorable at all for me xD (but still want to give S2 a try because why not). The Christmas ending was cute, too bad I didn't watch it during December though

What a chill start, especially for the whole holiday times when this was first broadcasted.
It was a nice introduction to everyone, even tho i don't remember how she met most of them lmao

So anyways, can't wait to see Maple being Maples xD

Its so nice to see Kaede again after so long. Discovering and trying to beat new content is defo one of the main draws of being a gamer. Only Maple can solo a floor boss like that lol. Hmm the new area has a nice feel to it that reminds me of their homeland within the real. Looks like the rivary between Sally and Frederica is still in full swing. Mii sure has a cute side to it that contrasts well with her base persona. Still the insight into her struggles was insightful. Kasumi sure has expensive tastes. The new blade's main ability sure had quite the side effect attached to it. Its amusing that the secretary seemed to have much more power than the mods. Maple's monster form really was unsuited for fighting in restricted enviros. The party was a nice way to celebrate christmas and the end of the year. Nice gifts as well. Overall a fun ep that did well to reintrduce us to the cast while giving them a new land to explore on game. Curious to see what this land will offer them. But its nice to see easy going stories like this in MMO's that contrast with how deadly serious they usually are.

I love this series, it's always so over the top outrageous and fun, LOL.

LOL @ the "cat cafe", so fluffy and cute. And not just the cats.

LOl @ Loli Kasumi, hehehe. So cute, *gives head pats*

Meanwhile Maple... still doing OP AF skills. (also, looking at "Devourer" flustering like a little girl felt so weird...)

Also, apparently some of the DEVS of this game is doing Remote Work, hehe, following the Real World's current society huh.

And Maple held a Christmas party, LOL, The Gifts makes everyone dress up as Santa. Heh. (Except for Maple... she got Raindeer, not sure if it's a prank by the DEV or actual rare item, lol)

Also, I just realized... the game they're playing in is called "New World Online"... too bad our world's version of this game with same title is shit and nothing fun like Bofuri's.

And our world's VR system is also shit too... look at all the "VR MMO Games" and they're all crappy looking or buggy and requires thousands of dollar for VR equipments.

Really, reusing season 1's OP? I've argued in favour of some shows doing that in the past, but only when the OP is really iconic, which this one just... isnt.

Cat cafe and the Japanese theme was amusing though when I actually got to it

Finally, we get Maple and her stacked defense back after a 3-year break! Very happy to have the show back for another season, as it is still just as wholesome and fun as it was last time.

In this first episode nothing much happens in terms of story or plot, they mainly just celebrate the start of the second season seemingly, with a short event around the holidays that ends by the end of the first episode.

We do see Kasumi get a new weapon, and a few miscellaneous skills are picked up by our guild as a whole. Kasumi and her new weapon skills might cause some embarrassed hilarity down the line though.

We all know why we started on season 2 of this show, it is to enjoy our waifu Maple and her bizarre adventures as the cute yet terrifyingly powerful monster she is.

It still feels like a wholesome and cute adventure, so I am looking forward to getting more of it, week by week.

I actually thought this was the "part 2" instead of "season 2" until the ED changed at the end. This first episode really made some nostalgia from the first season by using its first theme song.

Adorable, lovely and wonderful. It was a bit fast but as far as I can tell, I enjoyed this.

Btw, this episode should have been aired on Christmas but... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

A new season after a while, whooo. And I gotta say, that "self-devouring" sword is the real deal.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

This dialogue man. Hard cut to the Christmas party scene - Payne talking to his guildmates: "Maple invited us. It's a party to celebrate Christmas and the new year." No fucking shit. It's not like I have eyes or a functioning brain to be able to infer what was happening from the transition.

Yes, her best forms mecha-maple and kaiju-maple. Even as a giant multi-limbed monster she keeps her mannerisms.

Kasumi's new sword comes at a price. She got roasted as the Christmas party for it damn

Watched too many isekai and game-isekai, so it took me a while to remember that they have two identities but one life, and not an isekai. One identity in the real world, and an alias in the game they play.

Kasumi shrunk. Maple remains in that form and carries Payne, as they defeat the monsters easily. Hehe, Maple got a reindeer costume as a gift. 🤣🤣🤣 Seems like the admins had to take out their frustration on her.
