Surprisingly enough, I actually liked BOFURI quite a lot. It's rather pretty, pretty cute, and acutely aware of its purpose in the industry. BOFURI isn't an attempt to reinvent the wheel, not by any means. It's more of a touch-up to the wheel with some spiked rims and such. Considering that this ...

It's another SAO clone. That was my first thought when reading the summary online. ... aaaaand it is. Kind of. Sort of. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed this show quite a lot. It's nothing groundbreaking in terms of content, but it's a lot of good fun to just relax to. I never thought I would e...

(PREFACE) I have to wash the bad taste out of my mouth after writing a review for another anime that I was absolutely disappointed by... By writing this review. Now bear in mind, the era when Isekai shows and mmorpgs shows were booming is basically when I was coming of age and starting to work an...

This is the most average, run of the mill isekai i've ever tried to watch. There is no conflict. Everything is handed to the MC on a silver platter. The characters are almost as shallow and weak as the story. Even if it's a parody, it's not a good one. If they're "making fun of the formula" by be...

Now I only have a few words to sum up this show, cute af. It's one of the most cute and adorable shows I've seen in a long time. Not to mention cute and precious characters too. This show is about a sweet but a bit dence girl named Mable. She's told to pick up a VR game called new world online by...

I haven’t had this much fun watching an anime in so long, and I can’t believe it turned out to be one of the isekai types out of all those genres. I saw a few posts about the anime here and there, but it is also a classic case of absurdly long names that one wouldn’t even want to bother reading l...

BOFURI is fun!! And Maple is awesome!!! If anyone is into light-heart fluffiness, comedy and VRMMO themes, this is must watch anime. Imagine you've just started playing online games, there would quests, level ups, dungeon bosses to kill and events, Bofuri does just this. It's an anime that does n...

It's a very heartwarming anime. Very relaxed in terms of seriousness and world building, and side characters are basically ignored. BUT! It is very enjoyable to see a chill anime, no dramatic scenes or anything, with a kawaii main character. Maple's very OP, and its fun because she sees it as nor...

I had a giant smile plastered on my face basically the entire time I was watching this. It's been a while since I've watched a show that was just a whole ton of fun, and I loved it! Usually I reserve spots at 8 or higher stars for shows that have a really good story on top of everything else, but...

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu - Short Review: Positives: - The Setting: It's a VRMMO setting for the most part. Although we might as well just call it a gaming anime. It's fun, simple and relatable (in some ways) for people who enjoy gaming. - Characters: Each...

I wish people would stop likening this to "Rise of the shield hero". Aside from the fact that the main character starts off wearing a shield THAT'S IT. Might as well liken any anime where the MC goes to school with every other anime that has a school age main character, regardless of genre. Or an...

4 - You watched this because you had hope, but ultimately left in disappointment. Maybe the story had promise or the characters were likable, but something kept you along to watch it. This a straight up 4... Maybe a 3. But like. It's hard to really say anything that I liked about this anime that ...

Bofuri was a fun, easy show to watch! It kind of feels like if you took the vibe of "That Time I Got Reincarnated Into a Slime" and applied it to "Shield Hero" in a spunky sort of way. Bofuri is about a girl who starts up an MMORPG and doesn't want to get hurt, so she maxes out her defense stat. ...

Story 8/10 At least it had a different premise then most VRMMO's of the same genre where defense was the sought after stat with steady progression. Eventually power creep became absurd but was met with equal strength on the PvP side. Fun plot nonetheless even if it felt directionless. Art 8/10 Ar...

I binged an isekai series because of CrunchyRoll's YouTube clips, number 3: Bofuri I remarked that this is like a complete newbie to Dungeons and Dragons kept asking ridiculous questions and kept rolling natural 20s. "Hey, can I eat the poison dragon?" "Well, let's see here, roll for initiative.....

Maple is a Mary Sue. And if you thought that would mean a negative review of this series, think again, as this is one of those exceptions. See, Maple is a Mary Sue, but her being one is completely intentional, not to mention completely the fault of the devs of the game she plays. After all, they'...

BoFuri is studio Silver Link.’s latest addition to the torrent of video game shows that’s flooded the anime medium since the release of Sword Art Online. The premise is exactly what you’d expect after a cursory reading of the title. Kaede Honjou, a complete noob, decides to start playing the newe...
