First, as usual for all of the isekai (the bad ones) - MC and her party are OP. In isekai it is bad, however this one is an MMO, so it is even worse as OP builds should be nerfed. But instead of balancing or nerfing our MC devs introduce more and more abilities and features that are easily abused by MC a b Sherman, Jennifer (August 6, 2019).

Not that this fictional game being fun actually matters. Because this series isn’t a VRMMO. It is an anime show about people playing VRMMO (a concerningly high number of people seems to be unable to comprehend the distinction). And because the author can write, this ends up being a fun anime show. What it does right: It’s fun. This is what MMOs are supposed to be about. Finishing your day, logging in, getting away from the real life problems for a moment, and having fun. Bofuri manages to capture that sense of having fun.

Just as season one is this a really chill anime without big world ending problems that need to be solved. It also has no big dramas and only have minor character quirks and challenges that needs to be overcome. Hodgkins, Crystalyn (February 13, 2023). "Bofuri Anime's 2nd Season Delays 7th Episode by 2 Weeks Due to COVID-19". Anime News Network . Retrieved February 15, 2022. Episodes 7-10 will air weekly starting on March 8, schedule for episodes 11-12 not yet decided. If it isn’t telling from the last paragraph, a lot of the characters in this show don’t have a lot of depth to them. Which is all fine for the most part, since their simplicity is part of their charm. It’s that casual carelessness and easy to understand personalities that makes them easy to attach to. such as Maple’s best friend Sally who is very supportive of her and who purposely created her own min-max build that compliments her friends. Even the “antagonistic” characters such as the leaders of the flame emperors who comes off as a very serious try hard person. Only for it to reveal that it;s more of a front for her to impress her friends and is also really a bit of a crybaby. Although it’s not uncommon that some of the characters can be forgettable even in Maple’s own group. Poll: Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. Episode 9 Discussion ( 1 2 )As of the last update, Silver Link or any company related to the production of the BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense anime has not officially confirmed the exact BOFURI Season 2 release date. However, the BOFURI sequel has been confirmed to be coming out in January 2023. Lets be honest here, most of the dialogue in these generic mode plots is arigato, yoroshku, tanomu, taskette, sugoi etc.. Characters helping each other out, showing off their new skills, showing gratitude when someone saves them and so on. The VRMMO premise done right. I’ll repeat it again, this is a show about people playing a VRMMO - exploring a fictional world, socializing with their friends, making new friends, having fun. There is an online community of people talking about the game they play - sharing news, bitching about the OP things, bitching about the developers nerfing the OP things, etc. There are, of course, the developers, monitoring the state of the game, rolling out new content and thinking hard about what else to nerf. No one is trapped in an MMO. There are no contrived idiotic stakes like “if you die here, you die in real life.” Instead, there are real stakes in that the characters’ behaviour in the game affects their relationships with other people. There is real meaningful progress of meeting people and building friendships.

Maple is still her usual humble, gentle and cheerful self. She still does crazy things like eating hydra and what not. She carries the show all the same as in the original.

The show also explores the different strategies and abilities of the various guilds and players, which is fascinating to see. I also appreciate how the show explores the different strategies and abilities of the various guilds and players, and how they adapt to new challenges throughout the eps. A second season of the anime was announced at the end of the first season's final episode, and was originally scheduled to air in 2022, [64] but was later delayed. [65] It aired from January 11 to April 19, 2023. [66] Junjō no Afilia performed the opening theme "Kono Tate ni, Kakuremasu" ( この盾に、隠れます。), while FRAM performed the ending theme "Step for Joy". [67] Maple may move slower than a turtle, but the anime adaptation is zipping through the light novels and manga at an Arifureta-like pace (see our article on the Arifureta Season 2 anime, which has been confirmed). While the characterization in BOFURI’s story still feels right, the problem is that in later episodes dungeons are no longer dungeons anymore.

she's just trying to have fun, while focusing on making herself hard to kill. They come up with cool & creative ways to overcome challenges.

The first season of Bofuri succeeded because it had a lot of the most important elements in an anime: Likable characters, strong pacing, beautiful fight choreography, and excellent moments of art direction when it really was important (particularly in the second half of season 1). But so far, the second season massively falls short in terms of its ability to build upon the framework that the first season created. The thing that took me out of it more than anything was the MASSIVE drop in quality in terms of the pacing. Seriously, in season one whenever a new level was reached or a new boss Starting in May 2018, illustrator Jiro Oimoto began adapting the story into the BOFURI manga series. Serialized in Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Comp Ace magazine, the BOFURI manga was up to Volume 6 as of August 26, 2022. The hike in animation quality is worth some praise. I remember watching a few CGI moments from S1, thinking how better it would've been if it was 2D, and the animators did make most things 2D in S2. Not saying it's flawless though, there are many blink-&-u-miss shots and also a fair amount of CGI monsters, especially in final episode (probably a result of delay). But the direction during its action sequences keeps things engaging despite the flaws. The music is your generic isekai/fantasy OST. Nothing noteworthy there.
