Frederica should have heeded her own advice "Learn to expect the unexpected" when she encountered Maple's monster form.

Nice to see all of Maple Tree and the other two Guilds calling Maple out when she said she was playing the game just like everyone else. Who would have thought that Payne would have taken losing to Maple in such good stride. As for Frederica she is like everyone else calling out how Maple has just monster like skills being unfair.

Thou Mii seems to have one such as her self destruct skill so we have yet to see other skills groups has and if said skills are in the same league as Maple and her friends. What we have seen only one person so far is faster than Sally.

This is the first "new" anime I've ever watched to completion back when it was airing, and overall, it was a fairly comfy ride. I thought Maple's game breaking antics were very funny, and there were some nice SOL moments sprinkled around to balance out the action. It's not the kind of anime that will win everyone over, but I suppose it's servicable enough if you're looking for a low stakes isekai that has the added bonus of being family friendly.

6/10

P.S. Seeing how the fans and the dissenters interacted with one another throughout the forum discussions here just irritates me. I do not appreciate those who resort to mockery and insults against people who don't have the same opinion on the show as them (see for example, the spat between Lawgun and kyled00m a few pages back; this goes for both of them). It's fine to post your disagreement with someone else's thoughts about the show. Just don't disrespect them when doing so if you want others to take you seriously.

Things were looking grim for Maple Tree but the Order of the Holy Sword backed its Guild Master too far into a corner and out came a giant demon. Kaiju form Maple got all the fanfare she deserved with how quickly the tables turned and the most powerful player in the game got turned into a snack.

The plan switch up afterwards where they went around using Maple's monster form to wipe out teams and bring the game to its conclusion was very entertaining. Kanade using that powerful skill to multiply Maple into 6 different monsters was insane.

The devs/admins utter bafflement at how broken Maple has become yet acceptance for how entertaining her antics are is a great story arc for them to have undergone. The whole scene with them theorizing what crazy thing she'd be up to only for the reveal to be that she was just being used as a wool covered beach ball for May and Yui was hilarious.

This show was quite entertaining. I went into it thinking it'd be just a standard VR fantasy anime where the MC's stat dump into defense would shine at a pivotal moment. It was that for a few minutes, and then it went super off the rails with Maple getting one busted ability after another and so many transformations all at once it'd make popular shonen heros think that they need to step it up. There were so many great moments and intense battle sequences here. I'm glad I checked out this show. I can't wait to start season 2!
