At first this show looked like standard cute girls doing cute things show that come dime a dozen these days. However after two episodes I realized this show struck a powerful chord.. as New World Online reminded me of the fun days I played in the real game Ragnarok Online. Reminded me all of the item gatherings meeting friends forming a guild. Its all here. NONE = Also none of the excess baggage that other shows try to shove into my face. Trying to save the world from evil? trapped in another world? trapped in a game? people dying if they lose? generic harem plot? None of those shits This is just pure fun we are playing a friendly game. More easy to relate to for people like me who played and enjoyed RO years ago. Art colorful backgrounds lush grasslands forests. Makes you want to explore and do adventure. Rest in the town when you get tired. The enemies the nonplayable characters npcs the buildings in the town and even players chatting in the distance are decently animated adding a sweet feel to the world of NWO. Characters Maple and her friend Sally are the most developed being main the pair. However the others feel real enough in the sense that they feel like the friendly people Ive met in Ragnarok Online years ago. Sound from the pleasant singing by Rico Sasaki in the background to the action music during boss fights. Its helps flesh out the world of Bofuri into a wonderland that is both immersive and fun. Enjoyment I dont want to over hype. My review is very biased since I enjoyed this show because I was a Ragnarok Online addict for years. However one thing this show did is it is consistent on doing things it was meant to do which is give me the feeling of playing game explore adventure meet friends. It did not pretend to be something deep. Come on people were playing game here for fun not because our lives depended on it or world peace is in danger XD Another reason I liked this is no overpowered male main cast gathering a harem either which is a mercy as Im sick of shows like that Smartphone shit. Overall I recommend this show for people who want to remove stress and just have some clean fun watching people play a friendly game in a virtual world. If youre looking for something deeper then look somewhere else.
