THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A talking cat enters in the first 5 minutes of the show. Man, this anime had some weird vibes already but yeah, it's one of those anime where anything is possible. Oh and a giant talking bear...

The action was kinda absurd when you realize a bear can use a damn minigun in combat LOL. Reiji is kinda average for a protagonist. I hope they develop their characters.

What's up with all the MMO's this season.
Anyway so far i found this rather generic, there where some new things but it was pretty predictable.
There is also the overpowered main part which is making me wonder if i will be able to enjoy this anime.
Let's hope it improves a bit next episode.

I tried it out thinking it might be something decent but it's pretty mediocre so far, I'll probably give it another episode or two before deciding if I want to continue this or not.

According to what I've heard about the LN, this will eventually dive into an exploration of how people interact undr the anonymity of their avatars but, this episode gives me no faith that this will be executed remotely well.

Even if it does execute well thematically I have even less faith the production will be anything better than average.

As expected of NAZ. Well I cant say the general opinion from non-ln readers are misplaced. But it still stings whenever people equate an anime's quality with iit's animation.

Meh

This is a good example that good artstyle and decent animation does not make a show. I was bored to tears the whole time, from the elongated customization sequence to the ilogical explanation that NPCs play in some sort of hardcore mode.

The logic behind NPCs line of thought is unexistant. It feels like the players are the ones that must babysit these characters instead, allowing players to unlock quests that are far beyond their capabilities but they will conquer them with the power of friendship tropes.

This is already on my droplist, but out of just morbid curiosity I'll check next episode that I doubt it will be better.

This was a waste of time, it gives a really strange vibe as if the main character is not natural at all, as a example: the relationship between him and his brother seems rather cold and distant, really not feeling it, plus the fact that the protagonist straight from level 0 is soo powerful leaves "a bad taste in my mouth", this quote it's surely not catchy , it kinda reminds me of that shit Isekai with a smartphone

I won't praise the LN to high heaven, but some of the criticism is hasty. You can't really expect the story to get very far in the first episode.

It's finally here! Along with MagiaReco my most anticipated of the season.
Yay a new waifu.
"Master, your orders?"

So, having not read the LN(yet, will get to it), I really got Log Horizon vibes out of the world and character interactions with NPC's and that's high praise from me since LH is my favourite isekai. I know this one probably won't get super popular on MAL, here and twitter because people are tired of the VRMMORPG genre in the west, but I'm liking it so far and looking forward to more.

Also, how does this guy get discussion threads up for like 20 anime hours before they air?

Not isekai. It's VRMMORPG. The two are executed distinctly differently. Also, why are you even wasting your time watching if you don't like the genre of VRMMORPG lol?

No because it's miles better than Cheat Magician. It's one episode in and it's 20x better than Cheat ever was.

Dude did you even watch the episode?
It's called infinite dendrogram for a reason. The possibilities are virtually endless for players to set their own goal and not the other way around.

Also,
Tians are the only ones that die when killed.

I mean, it's an MMO, so it wouldn't have any super specific goals, right? The idea of MMO's is always to make your own story.

As for the dying penalty, only NPCs can perma-die, players just get a 24-hour lock on their accounts. Excessive? Maybe a little, but given the structure of the game world, it's not a drastically terrible penalty. It's sort of an integrity safeguard on the Active Quests system. You fail a quest, you lose the quest, no do-overs.

It was mentioned that the NPCs have human-level cognisance. Which means it is not possible to differentiate them from actual humans just by behaviour. Which also makes killing them to be morally wrong. How is this game still allowed?

Also, a jobless lvl 0 gets a lvl 5 quest (which apparently is high, do quest levels work on a different scale?), which involves a lvl 210 character not capable of beating the monsters, yet the lvl 0 is? After which the reward of the quest is a single piece of cheap fruit?
Yeah, if you don't want the numbers to matter, don't mention them. And don't make it an MMORPG, where the numbers are very important.

Since there is no point to argue with LN fans I would say
if story is actually any good then this episode did not manage to convey that. Really bland everything.

P.S. First ep of shield girl is better. It was fun at least.
P.P.S. We got VRMMO contest for some reason. Instead of triple isekai.

other than cool looking character designs(except for the bear) it is offering nothing new. And why is it even a MMO anime? The premise is irrelevant. You can change the premise as a upstart adventurer and modify the lines and the entire series would be no different.
This is nothing like a MMO and honestly is a pointless aspect in which does nothing for the show.

The dialogue in this show is pretty cringey. Hoping they elaborate more on the 'game mechanics' because the concept of the game's world is pretty silly.

That's the understatement of the decade. @Marinate1016 is the kind of users in here that are fully satisfied with any waifu show. If you want some good laughs you should read his/her review on Fire Force calling it one of the more original takes on shonen, and how the fanservice never bothered him/her.

Blegh, all these people in here going on about tropes, and stereotypes.

Hate to bring it out to you, but there is very very VERY little out there that is truly unique or brings out something completely new.

That doesn't mean that everything else is bad. Just take this anime at face value and judge it as such.

The graphics and animation are good, the world itself looks very appealing. The possibilities of a dynamically created story, world and the embryo can make for a good story basis. Big thumbs up.
The rpg aspects of the game itself however feel sketchy with some of the numbers flying around.

All in all decent anime that can become good. It most likely wont be the best of the best in its genre. But it doesnt have to be, as long as its entertaining.

And the value on this very unimaginative show is just rock bottom

This isn't a videogame, animation isn't judged with "graphics", it's called artstyle or simply art

Highly doubtful. You said it yourself, there's very little originality out there. MC already received what it looks like the best odds of gaccha with his new embryo waifu. I'd say that this is very akin to Shield Hero getting Filo out of a Gaccha egg.

Fluxje said:

At least you can denote that throwing random numbers about levels and how a level 0 character could pull out an impossible task feels quite sketchy
