I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.

​Since this is a VRMMO our protagonist establishes a guild and in this guild we have eight characters: Maple (Tank), Sally (Fighter/Ninja), Iz (Smith), Kasumi (Fighter), Kanade (Mage), Kuromu (Tank) and Yui & May (Juggernaut Sisters). Although we have so many characters, none of them are worth to mentioning since all of them are empty characters. Yes, we spend a lot of good time with them but we don't really know any of them either. All of these characters, except for Maple and Sally, are just some random people from a random MMO. I watched Kuromu for twelve episodes but I can't say anything about his personality and it is very frustrating because if this show focused on its characters, we could watch some interesting stories about them.

BOFURI as it is called due to it’s absurdly long title is a rather delightful show to watch. Yes, the fact that it’s another virtual reality Isekai may be a bit eye rolling, but it does help that the show doesn’t take itself too seriously. It has a very light tone to the point that it can be considered slice-of-life, since it very much is. It basically looks into the life of a teenage girl as she has fun with her friends in the virtual space. The only thing making her stand-out from the crowd is that she naively Min-maxed a defense build that in turn led to her getting favorable results. Essentially she found a way to break the game and make herself drastically overpowered in a short amount of time. It amounts to very little aside from making boss fights and pvp tournaments very easy for her because in the end, it’s just a game..

This anime had me looking forward to each episode to see the madness Maple comes up with. I only suggest this anime as I fell in love with Syrup the Turtle & the enjoyable OP Maple becomes even though the admins try to nerf her skills.
