I do not want to be injured, so I will maximize my protection. Season 2 Review • UK Anime Britain news

Returning to your second season, Bofuri: I do not want to be injured, so I am my own protection. No need to make a lot to impress, because we already know that we are at this point – epic overcrowded predators that are so slapping you on your face that you can’t stop laughing! You can only do so much that you can do with this concept, so I have to ask – can another dose of maple and cooperation. Really go away and give us something new? Let’s dig and find out!

If you are not familiar with the show, Boffuri Follows maple tree pranks, outside the Guild Wall in the fictional fantasy of the MMORPG “New World Online”. In the first season, we saw the leader Males and her best friend Sally in other strange balls, including Samurai Kasumi warrior, tanks chrome, and the twin sister, and Yui can, all the time winning every major game event and gaining more and more absurd forces on the way.

Season 2 begins where the first season is over when the gang enters the recently released fourth level of the game, Japanese subjects based on night viewing. Although there are specific arcs of history in the series, Boffuri Often, it is a more episodic type of show where it uses each episode to tell a different story or focus on a particular character. Although it gives a lot to keep things fresh, the pace often suffers as a result, and jumping in the first few episodes of season 2 here, you can really feel that when it moves on the road too fast.

In his first episode, there are several pleasant elements and small stories, especially with the fact that Kasumi is gaining a new skill of purple phantom blade, but despite the fact that it was a completely beautiful area, we will hardly see any of this new level before we put in the battle of the main boss. move on.

I would like to have more studies of each of different levels here, as they obviously have a lot of character. Unfortunately, presenting this as a boss gives little time to radiate each part of the world or give specific gang quests, and it just feels that nothing has a room for breathing.

In this regard, it is good to pack a lot of characters in such a small space, and he knows exactly what he needs to do to attract everything, because every story -oriented story is extremely beautiful and filled with funny moments. In the above -mentioned episode Kasumi, we see a completely new side for her when her power turns her into a child. Meanwhile, Sally has to take on her worst nightmare: ghosts in a ghost mansion, and when the monster is pressing on the game, May and Yu really enter their own, when they seek to save a couple of sweet plush monsters that become their companions. Despite the fact that each character gets his chance to shine, maple annoyingly interferes, because her tendency to get into trouble is just to get a new power that breaks the games, takes away the spotlight from the achievement of other characters. It is a large pain point in a quest with Sally ghosts, as it could have been a breakthrough for her, the maple ends to finish the quest for her.

The series underwater chamber is the fact that maple is a show star and how much fun it is, there are times when it is too much and you can sympathize with the developers of the game that has no end of problems that have constantly fought against its evolution. This, I have to add, exciting to watch how they will have to throw more crazy things on players to continue the game difficult. But hey, as they say in the show, we are talking about making things fun at the end of the day, and if the maple is happy enough, rolls in its form of sheep or as a giant lizard of cruelty, then all strength for her.

So, the series certainly has its weaknesses, but I have ignoring the best pieces, and they are longer arcs of history offered by great events in the game. In the first season, they were interspersed all over the world, but here they are very loaded into the second half, both with a taming monster and with the events of Battle Royale. With more events, the series has the opportunity to dive into the world building, when we dive deeper into different levels that lack the first part of the season, and this is much better for this! There is a bunch of different secrets to decide, and it is felt that each of the main characters is in their own little personal adventure. In addition, each of the monsters they tame perfectly fits into the team and as creative in their design as syrup and defense (which also receive pleasant eyeliner in this arc!).

The Battle Royale event is excellent, but it provides a bombastic finale that requires every inch of the best players. Here, the lateral characters from other guilds are largely combined, and this gives the show the opportunity to break them a little more. We have seen them in dribs and ladders during this series, but it is here that they are able to blow up monsters socks. Separate from their main parties, the whole acting form is unlikely to be unions, and it is nice to see what characters such as Dread or Marx can do. I am also grateful that it is not so easy to maple, and she should actually rely on her friends and comrades to get through. These are tense and fascinating things because maybe for the first time you are not sure if it can really win.

Produced Silver Link, the show looks absolutely beautiful and overflowing. It has a cute, bright style of art, which is certainly striking the daily comedy atmosphere that he goes to, but he is also not afraid to become a spooky or disgusting one. In particular, it refers to the designs of monsters that are really wild to the end of the series. I would certainly not like to meet them on a dark night! The environments and cities of each level are also perfectly detailed, although they could make several more NPC characters to feel a little more.

Tarot Masud composer returns to provide a score, and it is very great to listen to stormy tunes that are engaged in adventures and another music for big battles. Junjou No Afilia returns with some cute idol pop to provide the topic of opening “Kono tate ni kakuremasu” and Fram provides the final theme “Step to Joy”, which is always a nice song to limit the episode.

Voice acting is good, both in English and Japanese, and it is interesting to see both caste really have fun with it. Kaede Hondo and Megan Shipman really go to the city as a maple, which is actually a difficult role with all its different changes in the form that require slight changes in voice (details for sound teams here!), But all actors are a good choice and are well suited to their roles.

Bofuri: I do not want to be injured, so I am my own protection. Season 2 It comes to us through Crunchyroll, and they gave us a solid release here. On the discs you will find all 12 episodes of the series in English and Japanese with English subtitles, while additional services include promo-video and trailers, preliminary episodes, episodes containing game developers, as well as clean opening and ending. I think that videos and preliminary views could be made with your own separate menu, as if you were returning a few days after the episode, they are useful reminders of what is happening; Otherwise, however, there are no problems that should be noted.

Although it does not quite reach the same maxima as the first season, Bofuri: I do not want to be injured, so I am my own protection. Season 2 It is still an explosion for viewing, filled with all the fun moments you expected from the series, like maple and gang wild in every quest that the game throws on them. If he did not have such a rough step and did not have maple moments from his auxiliary composition, I would appreciate it above, but as it is, it is still strongly recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first season.
