Full Dive RPG is obviously making fun of Sword Art Online. In the likes of Konosuba which is the prominent starting point of making fun of isekai tropes & anything related to clichés appearing in this (sub)genre, I thought I was gonna enjoy a relaxing time of seeing VRMMORPG tropes & clichés being made fun of in the most sarcastic way. Unfortunately, I was dreading after each passing episode that I left the final episode for the past 6 months so that should give you a clue on which other future series I'm disappointed with.
There's nothing much to say about what makes Full Dive RPG an enjoyable series unless you're a dedicated M especially when you love a trainwrecked series. This is one of them though I don't think I'll rewatch this series ever; even if it gets a season renewal, I'll pass.
The reason why I've picked up this series is because it's the same LN author of Overly Cautious Hero. Likewise if I'm satisfied with an author's first work, I thought that their next work will be as great as the first. Sadly, this is a misconception for I was disappointed watching Full Dive RPG. I guess moral of the story is don't make prejudgements that any author can be versatile or else you'll end up feeling the worst when your expectations of their next work are shattered to smithereens like what I've experienced with a Blundered work aired early last year. 🙁
Of course as much as I try not to believe my prejudgements, but unfortunately, things go expected the way you thought of badly. Nevertheless, Studio ENGI is only a hit and miss unlike GEEKTOYS, but do keep in mind that the animation quality from the former is "questionable" especially when it comes to adapting a series with lots of action scenes.
TL; DR If you're in need of a trainwrecked series to watch or if you're wanting to just listen to your favourite seiyuu indirectly making fun of their characters, Full Dive RPG should be fulfilling those conditions. If not, give this series a pass for the humor is so-so; not to mention it peaked at its worst outcome when they attempt at crude humor & the protagonist being too stupid to survive in a game.
