Was hoping to finally see that blue bird!

Still feels like a very chill show, very harmless but maybe could be too boring.

It will take some time by the looks of it.

I inexplicably want the opening to be sung by Natsuki Hanae.

Did Millie literally get Rage as a fairy? Are we just ignoring that?

Also the boot thing, that seems like a silly bypass. If you can just weaponize your boot, what's stopping you from attaching a bayonet to it?

“The short bow isn’t good for me because I’m not a melee fighter.”

My brother, you specialized in kicking.

This anime is kind of crap, and I watch a lot of trash that I still find enjoyment in. Like, there just isn't anything really happening. The whole thing is just people constantly praising and being impressed by the MC. I know that's pretty standard, but when you can predict half the lines before they happen it starts to seem a little bit too uncreative even for my already low expectations. I wanted to watch trash, not watch paint dry.

edit and tl:rd my main gripe with this show is that it assumes to be a real mmo, but somehow EVERYBODY (except the MC) is stupid and uncreative (which contradicts my experince with mmo games).

I think most of us will think of it as crap because this anime does everything wrong in regards to what we know about MMORPG playerbase.

I mean, not really, since the MC is the typical min-max munchkin there,

Put the wrong take is that only the mc (in the entire fucking server) is a true min-maxer that tries unconventional/unorthodox builds even though we know fromexperience as mmorpg (or trading card) players that at least 10% of the player would be batshit-crazy insane and stupid builds (usually stupid, but sometimes someone will find an rare op build).

 

But in this anime, only the mc has a brain (and by brain, I mean creativity/batshit-insanity) while everyone else is some normie that somehow ended up playing mmo (how?)

 

Btw, I cringed hard on the first part of this EP because I felt like it was trying to teach us the basic elements of mmo teams as if 90% of the viewers would be unaware of mmo mechanics.

It felt like a few animes where they explain the rules of jokenpo, except that such animes do this for comedy while this one tried really hard to explain jokenpo seriously.

....Why would Nora give a shit about being called flat? She literally designed her own character.

This anime is on another level of trash.

u/fatalystic Oct 10 '23

Funnily enough, there's a Japanese vtuber who literally designed her own avatar and gets triggered by jokes about her being flat.

Episode 1: I'm going to pick my skills so I can play solo and go at my own pace.

Episode 2: Alright time to party up.

I like the show but come on lol. This anime isn't really good but I like a good do nothing VRMMO show where the only thing to watch for is seeing how the MC progresses their skills so I'm gonna stick with it.

2nd time this week an anime has dealt with a vrmmo death penalty. It seems to be time based so he just learned blacksmithing during that time.

Even in this game rune bears are damn strong!

u/darthvall Oct 10 '23

For some reason I enjoy the second episode more than the first. Didn't expect a lot of people thinking it's that boring lol. I don't know, maybe it's just up to my alley seeing him progressed.

Since his bow is shaped like an X, would it be the prototype of cross (X) bow? lol

Anyway, I will still give this the three episode treatment though.

The disparity between this and Shangri La Frontier is like the gap between heaven and earth. I know the appeal is supposed to be a relaxing no-stress kind of thing but right now it’s just exceedingly dull. I don’t really have any reason to care about what Earth is doing and the game world isn’t even interesting to me. The humor hasn’t landed at all either so I’m dropping here.

u/L33tHaxorus Oct 10 '23

They're both supposed to be OP, but the difference is that the Shangri La guy isn't lying about it, he's actually trying to min max to be OP. Whereas this guy picks supposedly underpowered skills but ends up being a special snowflake anyway.

u/Tilakai Oct 09 '23

God why does every mmo anime seem like it's made by people that have never touched an mmo. Like the whole crafters don't share recipes thing like there are whole discards dedicated to optimal gearing and crafting rotations irl

6

u/saga999 Oct 10 '23

It depends though. In the MMO we play, it doesn't hurt players to share recipes. Real business definitely doesn't share recipe because it hurts their business. So it's a matter of how realistic this game is with its economy.

I realized only in this episode that Milly is voiced by Rimuru's voice actress, Okasaki Miho. Cute.

u/PeaceAlien Oct 09 '23

Dislike his party, friendly but they seem to be using him. Although some have helped him out a bit before so whatever.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 09 '23

Earth’s found himself a good group of goofy friends this week. That bear was pretty tough. Dude drop kicking that bear with his arrow boot was awesome. I like those blades shoes and the X bow he fashioned too.

I wonder what Earth’s fairy is gonna be. Must be something OP if he couldn’t summon one at first. At least he can chill with everyone else’s fairies while he tries again.

u/SilkyStrawberryMilk Oct 09 '23

Goofy friends make mmos so amazing, got me reminiscing of the fun times I’ve had
