The first season of Bofuri succeeded because it had a lot of the most important elements in an anime: Likable characters, strong pacing, beautiful fight choreography, and excellent moments of art direction when it really was important (particularly in the second half of season 1). But so far, the second season massively falls short in terms of its ability to build upon the framework that the first season created. The thing that took me out of it more than anything was the MASSIVE drop in quality in terms of the pacing.

Honestly, season 1 was a pretty great ride, it was interesting and had you wanting to see more and now maybe I regret that. Bofuri season 1 was all about Maple being OP. There was enough power scaling to keep the viewers interested with its ridiculousness, while the plot slowly setup the huge cast of characters in the main three guilds.

High production values. The series is supposedly a comedy/SoL, and yet its action scenes blow 90% of action anime out of the water with the level of their choreography, animation and hype. I, for once, particularly enjoyed the scene where a caster doing a long-ass chant was actually a thing happening in real time, with interference from their opponents and covering fire from their allies. The art, the music, the character design, etc. are all on point. in Japanese). Fujimi Shobo. Archived from the original on June 7, 2020 . Retrieved January 24, 2020.

Maple may have monstrous skills, but Payne is the number one player and he’s getting buffed by his entire party just to take down Maple. Of course, he didn’t yet know about Maple’s Atrocity ability aka Mapzilla. The twins, May and Yui, were introduced way earlier in the anime in comparison to the light novels and web novel. Pic credit: Silver Link (BOFURI Episode 3)Still, the anime does get across the point that Maple is a walking absurdity in this game world. At the ending of each episode, the anime hints that Maple is generating buzz on bulletin boards and chat rooms. (In Episode 8, some poor rando laments being zapped to death Kazuma-style by a stray energy beam from Maple’s Machine God fight.) If it isn’t telling from the last paragraph, a lot of the characters in this show don’t have a lot of depth to them. Which is all fine for the most part, since their simplicity is part of their charm. It’s that casual carelessness and easy to understand personalities that makes them easy to attach to. such as Maple’s best friend Sally who is very supportive of her and who purposely created her own min-max build that compliments her friends. Even the “antagonistic” characters such as the leaders of the flame emperors who comes off as a very serious try hard person. Only for it to reveal that it;s more of a front for her to impress her friends and is also really a bit of a crybaby. Although it’s not uncommon that some of the characters can be forgettable even in Maple’s own group.

Bofuri season 2 is more about all these characters interacting with each other. As with many stories / anime with a "hook", once the introduction of the world is done, things usually get into generic mode to just stretch the plot as much as possible. The same applies to Bofuri.

Another strength of the show is the development of the characters, particularly Maple and her close friends, and the heart-warming way they interact and support one with one another. The show also explores the different strategies and abilities of the various guilds and players, which is fascinating to see. I also appreciate how the show explores the different strategies and abilities of the various guilds and players, and how they adapt to new challenges throughout the eps. a b c d e f g h i j Hodgkins, Crystalyn (December 24, 2019).
