Solid first episode, came looking for trash but seems like found gold.

The anime is very realistic in how still in the far future games use big cases and include the bare-minimum SD Card.
Is very sci-fi in the content department though, a game that ships with no bugs and dozens upon dozens of classes none being paywalled behind DLC, expansions, subclasses, etc?

Haha I’ve taken like 2 coding classes in school so I’m even lower than a novice but funny all the same 👌🏻

Well, damn. It looked absolutely gorgeous. I hope they'll keep this level. Definitely a black horse of the season.

Dumb, generic, uninspired, empty ... it's not even trash, it's a waste of money to make things like this.

And also a waste of talent because the animation/art style are REALLY good ...

Well now, that was a funny episode to start with. I hope this stays enjoyable since I don't know sh*t about this. There's no comedy tag in this, yet I found this funny. That can always change later. But it's also shounen so, hmmm.

Been a while since we’ve had a full dive RPG style anime and this looks like it’ll be one of the better ones. Full Dive RPG from a few years ago wasn’t that good. The MC being a “trash” game enthusiast reminds me of myself liking games and anime that most others don’t 😂

The production quality on this is awesome, some of the best I’ve seen from C2C. Hopefully there’s no production issues and this quality can be consistent going forward. I think there’s a lot of potential here with the character and world.

Just need some waifus in this and we’ll be eating good lol. Looks like it’s sponsored by AMD as well which is neat.

Really enjoyed the first episode, introducing the world of shangri-la frontier.

Mc seems kind funny, so lets see how it goes

Also, Kubooka Toshiyuki is on direction of this anime and he already directed the berserk movies (2012-2013) so I'm expecting an anime with a good quality overall

god fucking damn did anybody miss what this is about? if i had a drink every time he said kami gee or kuso gee, I'd be dead 10 times over. everything else aside, I found myself wishing so hard that he'd shut the fuck up during the second half, the cringe was so much.

I mean, sure enough it is funny to see gaming references here and there, but damn I feel so embarrased listening to him go on and on and on, if I ever spoke like that in public I think I'd get spat on. This crossed over the funny line to become annoying, that if it wasn't for the detailed and pristine visuals, people would not be paying too much attention to it, like every other comedy/game/fantasy anime.

yo wtf i was expecting this to be another trashy fantasy adaptation but this looks sick, sakuga went hard! this is the kinda animation first episode of ragna crimson missing out on.
seems fun, no idea how this mc has someone who's romantically interested in him but i'm all for it haha, maybe she'll also play this game. looking forward to the rest of this and praying the animation doesn't fall off because this was a stong start.

oh also, that opening slaps.

One of the most eye catching, impactful, first 3 minutes of an anime! That foot to the face, epic, and memorable.

The trailer doesn't do justice for how funny and scarily accurate (Game mechanics wise) this anime is. Anyone who has been a gamer will surely appreciate this anime.

That's it. I'm in.

@Marinate1016 it is one of those cases, where a boy takes female character in the game.

It's an interesting series. MC is enjoying a god-tier game after playing trash games for so long; it's a different challenge for him, but in a good way I think.

I think that
that's my guess at least lol

I very much prefer shows that admit that they're about video games to others that use dressed up RPG settings while masquerading around as actual fantasies so that was nice. Will have to see how the MC interacts with side characters before making my mind up with this

First the final boss of a trash game to goblins and killer bunnies of God-tier games. This ones animation is definitely pretty very well done.
On another note, that elf girl definitely had a kickable face.

This was fun to watch. Love how the protagonist goes with dex and luck based build without hesitation, a true souls player in both mind and soul and of course we have reached a point in time when being bug free is enough to make it a good game.

Nice of them to play the prologue in the after credits, I was thinking it was going to be another stuck in a vrmmorpg style anime.

I've been waiting for this to be animed since chapter one of the manga released. Love the manga, and it is seen like that the animation is doing a great job of catching the beauty and the humour of the world that the manga artist has created. I am looking forward to the future episodes that are coming this season. Hoping this will be as great as how they did with Sword Art Online. By transforming the words and the manga to a brand new beautiful world that is SLO.

Fan of MMORPGs (Dragonica, Final Fantasy XIV, Blade & Soul, Lost Ark and Dofus), this is exactly the genre I missed! I really like the MC who is looking for bigger shit, I'm sure many have already done it. The story is rather original. Promising for the future.

Makes sense that a player that plays crappy and buggy games all the time actually prefers to cheese games, heck even most "good" games nowadays can be cheesed in some way

The concept of this is understandable, all that remains is to see what the rest of the cast is like. I'm guessing the girl that has a crush on him will be gaming, so I'm guessing there'll be some reaction or tension there. Looking forward to the next episode
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.
