Wait lets make it better. BOFURI: I dont want to get hurt so Ill max out my defense is one of those ridiculous MMORPG lightnovel adaptations that people forget as soon as the last episode airs. Why? Because it plays safe. It throws moe elements uWus hahas... You know them and mixes it with your favorite gaming and isekai elements OP protagonist stereotypical guild members lots of gaming bullshit... You know them too except the harem stuff. The Anime never goes to do anything big or better it just plays around. One of the best things about this Anime is that it never treats itself with simplicity. Everything is grander colorful and sometimes hilariously weirder but never spiritless or generic. Maple our OP cinnamon roll is just that cute girl who found about the wonders of the gaming world and fun exploring that world with found friends. But she doesnt want to get hurt soo... She wanders around and finds the most demonous outright unfitting abilities. Like I would be pretty weirded out if I see an Anime girl getting a hand full of tentacles and thats not even the weirdest moment of the Anime. Like once Sally said we can never predict what Maple is about. The hike in animation quality is worth some praise. I remember watching a few CGI moments from S1 thinking how better it wouldve been if it was 2D and the animators did make most things 2D in S2. Not saying its flawless though there are many blinkumiss 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. As stated before this Anime is all about having fun with friends that have a common interest. And I agree that is a wonderful thing. But what left me a bit concerned is not showing the characters outside the game. A fun part about gaming comes not only from the game but talking about it outside making jokes seeing how that brought small changes in ourselves whether its healthy or not. This is something S1 did. Maples so much ingame time made her say attack names while playing dodgeball in real life. Despite being about gaming S1 made sure that these are not just gamers with no life but actual students who still have something of interest outside gaming. In S2 we never got to see what happened outside the game. And also wouldnt it be interesting to see these characters who formed so much of the team meeting in real life having a chat in a cafe or something? That might not be the best part it also might beat the premise but its definitely important to show that these characters are true friends and not just online buddies. Atleast I want to see that. Conclusion Theres really not much of a story in this to remember. Call it a guilty pleasure if you will. Its just about having fun. And Im in for it. Thats all.
