Currently there are several anime I keep up with as they come out weekly. One new anime that has caught my interest to fill my entertainment block is Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu( I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense). This cutesy anime is about two friends who come together after school to play a VRMMORPG by the name of “New World Online”. The main character this show is about, She goes by the name maple in the virtual realm, is a noob in the gamer realm. She hasn’t had much experience with the more advanced RPG style games obviously so when she is asked to put points into her character attributes she pours all of her starter points into defense unknowingly creating an overpowered character archetype that can’t take damage, moves very slowly and absorbs enemies to get special skills. Her OP character soon finds out that she has so much defense that it actually becomes an offensive weapon. I very quickly fell in love with maples personality as I continued the show as currently I write is at episode 7 if you watch as they come out subbed.
Maple’s attitude and character type make her a famous character as she slays through the game easily and makes friends among other odd characters much like herself. I am a big fan of anime where the main character comes from a normal life into a video game or another dimension to be a powerful character. This anime expands on this by taking the danger out of the usual anime style by making the induction into the video game voluntary and no actual damage to the human. This show does have plenty of fan service but so far none of the usual perverted nature fan service, making this anime a kid friendly show that I would recommend to any parent with a child that likes anime. I also would recommend it to any adult that likes anime, It has plenty of action, comedy and fun for anyone to enjoy and keeps me engaged every week as it comes out!
