Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara

Ever heard of this saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Well, this anime brings that definition into a whole 'nother level. That said, this show is shitty levels of wack trash perception, and so are all of you in real life. I pity those who went in thinking they would experience the typical "serious" fantasy show, without thinking in the back of their minds that this is MEANT to be a comedy first and foremost. In order to understand this bait-and-switch of a conundrum, ask yourself: What is "anime logic"? The smart-ass in me would've said something like this: "“Anime logic” is a term used by many oversmart retards to look cool by showing their advance noticing skills and PhD in Physics. Seriously y'all, why do you even point out something and say it doesn't make any sense because it won't happen in real life when you're literally watching hand-drawn sketch animation? Also, anime or any forms of media entertainment are intended for the pleasure-seeking experience of their audience, and one thing people tend to forget, is that you watch media to explore something new, to escape reality because if entertainment were like our daily lives, then what's the point in watching them when we can just live our daily lives? Also, some situations are made that will probably never happen in real life, and people pointing out that “This should've not happened” or “Why didn't he/she/it do that” is just stupid because you haven't experienced that moment yet so who knows what will you do. So, "Anime logic" means logic LITERALLY applied in anime in order to give you viewing pleasure and let you experience a new reality of It's own. Because we all know everyday life is boring and laws of physics will never let us do crazy things we want to. It may seem ridiculous or stupid to you, but just realise that it's ANIME!" Heh, spoken like a big-brain dork with a PhD in AniManga. And now, back to Full Dive. The first thing you need to know is that this is by the same author of Cautious Hero, and the most ambitious part is that the anime adaptation was announced just 4 months after the inception of the LN, man, talk about the fastest turnaround time I've ever heard of a source material getting an anime THAT FAST. But if you ask me, the real reason lies with the fact that it's the higher-ups at Kadokawa who are to blame, now that the big corporation is pushing source materials under their big and massive source umbrella to adapt and produce 40 anime per year until 2023. That is great for anime fans, but not so much on the "liturgy" that is the current state of the anime industry, and if you know anything about it, is that it promotes overwork and stress to the point of real-life death (that isn't funny at all). The second thing about Full Dive, is that it isn't afraid to be the laughingstock of an imitation of SAO, with the VRMMO-esque feature bundled in, together with the help of series composer Kenta Ihara (who also worked on Cautious Hero) and prominent Seiyuu VAs which had their roles passed onto other people. You know Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, the VA who voiced the chad Kirito, he's essentially the one who cleared SAO and many of its VR world derivatives, and now in Full Dive, he has also cleared through this shitty 10-year-old game called Kiwame Quest, which boasts of a literal full-dive RPG...but with realism attached to it so real and shitty that there's no indistinguishable difference between the game and real life itself. And now, his playthrough of Kiwame Quest is solely desired by the "new" Kirito: high schooler Hiroshi Yuuki (voiced by Daiki Yamashita, OreSuki's MC Amatsuyu "Jouro" Kisaragi), whom one day, has desired to look for a game that he could play to pass the time of his past accident, and was stupidly roped in to purchase this shitty game from a game shop, managed by the busty Reona Kisaragi, whom is voiced by Ayana Taketatsu, Kirito's sister Suguha (well that explains the oversized busty boobs). The new "Kirito's sibling sister" role of Hiro has been passed onto his sister Kaede (voiced by Aoi Koga), which if by any indication that she has also VA-ed Kaguya and the soon-to-be Komi Shouko, looks to be a spiritual successor of SAO in the sibling pairing. Add in the fact that the "XL Joushi" Hentai VA Haruki Ishiya voices the Best Friend trope Martin; Ai Fairouz voicing the yandere Alicia (which is absolutely *chef's kiss* perfection) and SAO's favourite monster spirit and Silica's pet Pina's VA Shiori Izawa voicing the sadist Inquisitor Mizarisa, and you have the making of a 100% no-holds barred SAO Abridged version that the pitiful peeing Besto Friendo MC must conquer and find himself clearing the game at a brisk pace (because this is also an SAO trademark). Good luck trying to clear a game that as shitty as it is, you MOFO just have to YOLO this one out with a shitty fairy NPC who makes the mockery out of you both in-game and real life! Isn't that such a wunderful premise and with characters so wack you'd be bulging your eyes out at the complete insanity of it all? YES!? OK, calm down, cool me. I'll admit that ENGI still has a long way to go with the studio's subpar animation, which are very noticeable with a lot of cutting corners strewn almost everywhere, but the character designs are striking to make up for the lackluster visuals. This show being the studio's 3rd work in Kadokawa's line-up of its astounding "40 anime per year" quota is quite staggering, but the studio hasn't had any choice since it's a subsidary of Kadokawa after all, it was made to promote anime-adaptation works published under the massive corporation. Dang those money-shelling shitty corporations! At least you get some fun in the form of the OST, to which music artiste Mayu Maeshima has already made her name known on Re:Zero's Season 2 Part 2's OP as her solo debut, not forgetting the fact that she was once part of MYTH & ROID, the go-to "It's Free Real Estate, and Ready Perfectly" outstanding band unit for Isekai shows with banger songs. With her 2nd song "ANSWER" for this OP, I just can't think of a better OP to represent this ballsy lunatic show. Same with all the female MC VAs (plus a sister) for the ED, with all the IN YOUR FACE butt and boob-shoving and amazing voices, how can you not love a show that knows how to subvert your expectations to just for pure insanity? To finish this review proper, if you still don't get my references of endless satire, you're just as shitty in real-life, NO QUESTION. Love it or hate it, Full Dive as a show is one that will not be a masterpiece in comedy, but it definitely feels like a spiritual successor to Cautious Hero, IMO of course. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? NOPE, this show is the meaning of "TIT FOR TAT", a hoodwinked bait to lure you into watching shitty anime that is all bad and low-key good. A guilty pleasure of a show that even if you find massive hate in it, there's something to love about it as well.

You know, the worst thing about a show like this is that deep down within, there is a reasonably competent, even funny and interesting anime buried within, that thanks to incompetent writing or directing or whatever will never see the light of day. Full Dive is terrible and I'm the kind of person who enjoys the stupid dick jokes from Sentouin Hakkenshimasu and held them in high regard. One of the biggest issues with this is with the characters. My God, Hiro has got to be the one of the most insufferable whiny unlikable twerp in anime (not the worst, that dishonor goes to Ouma Shu). I'm not against the idea of having a loser protagonist, but you gotta make the protag at least somewhat likable in spite of their incompetence. I've hated Hiro all the way through and he never NEVER gets any better. The rest don't fare any better, apart from Alicia, Mizarisa and Matsuoka-kun, everyone is so thoroughly unlikable and annoying. It goes beyond "funny character quirk" that overstays its welcome, it's "beating you over the head again and again with how much annoying they are and how they never stop". Then there's the humor. The awful humor. It's not that they're low brow or stupid, again, I enjoyed the stupid dick jokes from Sentouin. The problem is twofold, they're delivered by characters you don't like, and another one, they overexplain the joke, again and again and again. Yes, we get it the game is shitty because it's emulating reality, but my God, they won't stop egging you on it. The worst thing is, there are actually good jokes in this ruined by Hiro yelling and overly explaining the joke. Like, there's this one pretty good one where, after buying smoke grenades, Hiro couldn't use them properly because he didn't light them. The framing, the comedic timing, the pauses, everything was great! UNTIL Hiro decides to open his goddamned mouth. Like, for every potential this anime has at being even remotely decent, there's a big BUT hovering over it. Like, I like the meta aspects and how it wants to subvert general isekai cliches, BUT, it's done in such an overt manner it ruins any subtlety or tact. I like Alicia BUT she's barely in the damn thing and she does overstay her welcome. I like that one plot twist near the end of the anime BUT the foreshadowing is so non-existent and it comes so suddenly to the point there's no buildup to it. I like having a loser protagonist as a change of pace BUT there is no payoff to him being a loser apart from terrible and repetitive piss and shit jokes. In the anime, Hiro kept on playing that shitty game he was suckered into buying because of tits fairy, and in a meta sense I suppose I was the same for Alicia. In that sense maybe the anime is some kind of success. But most probably it was garbage to begin with and not some clever metacommentary. 3/10

Recommendation: Don't waste your time, this show is bad and not in an entertaining way. Slight spoilers below. Welcome to One Joke: The Anime. From the paragraph-length light novel title of this series, you can probably already tell what the one joke is. Hiro, our main character, is pathetic and cringeworthy beyond belief in real life and the game he tries to play as an escape only piles on the misery. Usually in a story like this, there would be a little bit of the protagonist being pathetic before growing into a heroic figure the audience can actually find respectable. Well, aside from a brief training sequence at the very end of the season, Hiro displays no growth whatsoever. It's pure abuse for Hiro from start to finish. He loses every fight, he gets mocked and humiliated at every possible opportunity, the girls in his "harem" all either hate him or view him as a mark they can squeeze some money out of, and he never comes close to doing anything heroic (or if he does, it's misinterpreted as him being a pervert or criminal and he's attacked for doing it). It's a little funny at first just how committed the series is to never portraying Hiro in a positive light or allowing anything good to happen to him, but a few episodes into the season, the gimmick starts to wear thin and it's just pure secondhand embarrassment at watching him piss himself or get his lunch money taken by in-game bullies over and over and over. If the series had good side characters, this would maybe be a salvageable concept, but they're completely flat and uninteresting. Reona gets the most screentime but she does little besides provide exposition and a few jokes about how greedy and self-centered she is. Alicia is the closest to having an actual character, the Childhood Friend that is now psychopathically obsessed with killing Hiro after he accidentally kills her brother in the pilot episode, but that doesn't really go anywhere and she spends most of her time offscreen because any time she's on screen, she's trying to kill Hiro. The other two, Mizarisa the loli torturer/dominatrix and Kaede the tsundere little sister, have such little presence that they may as well not exist, and barely have any personalities beyond those few words I used to describe them. The voice acting is fine for the most part, but the artwork is noticeably substandard for its contemporaries. The character designs are ugly, with odd-looking multi-colored eyes and vacant, blank looks on the characters' faces most of the time. There aren't that many action scenes, and they're sluggish and not especially well-animated or entertaining. It's funny sometimes, there were definitely some gags that made me chuckle, but mostly it just spins its wheels and repeats the same jokes over and over while making the MC as embarrassing and unlikable as possible. Really the best way to summarize this series is that it's a sort-of funny concept that wears out its welcome immediately and has nothing behind it to sustain the premise or make it entertaining once the main gimmick stops being funny.

I debated back and forth internally about whether or not I even felt like doing a review for Full-Dive RPG. Ultimately, I decided I needed to let people know about this show. If you thought this was another VRMMORPG Light Novel cash grab, you would be wrong. This is genuinely a unique anime. Uniquely bad, that is. SA…I mean Full-Dive, is one of the biggest wasted opportunities I’ve seen in some time. Episode 1 grabbed my attention and genuinely had me laughing out loud. I remember commenting in discussion threads that this would be the next Konosuba, and how funny it was. I could not have been more wrong. As the weeks went by, Full-Dive regressed into a walking meme. In fact, it seemed to be self-aware at times of how stupid its story was. I can confidently say that Reona’s tits literally carried the story and are the only things worth checking out in this anime. The Full Dive video game world that the anime set up was interesting at first, but quickly become repetitive and there’s only so many times the best friend chasing with a knife, or Hiro pissing himself could be used before they got old. Week after week, I watched and hoped that this show would improve, but it just never did. The same old jokes, same old tropes, and an MC who you just stop feeling bad for after a while. For me to not enjoy a show is pretty rare, as everyone who’s read my reviews knows, but this was just bad. Full-Dive’s disappointing story really is a shame, since the studio did a wonderful job with character designs and the art in the show is amazing. Unfortunately, there’s just not much substance there to back it up. I LOVE VRMMORPG, isekai, etc. etc., this was just a very bad example of one. Full-Dive is one of the few skippable shows of what ended up being a really good Spring 2021 anime season. If you just want to get a couple laughs, go for it. If you want an actual good VRMMORPG anime, just watch Bofuri. Full-Dive gets 5 piss soaked pants out of 10.

i know it wasn't the best story but i would really like to see a season 2 because i thought this show was so funny like you can't make up thee amount of times that I laughed while watching this show, it's insane. I really wanna see Hiro finish the game but i always forget that an anime is just an adaptation of a manga or light novel so if it was canceled and i did not know that it was, that would be really sad. I never expected him to marry o girl, the fairy chick, i just thought it was there for shits and giggles, but in the end i thought that the joke was well executed.

non spoiler review: This anime is a cynical comedy on virtual reality anime. With tons of comedy sketches with the MC being the straightman in the show. This anime is not for people who want epic fights or people who loves to get hyped when an MC gets an upgrade or power up. If you love gintama, isekai ojisan, grandblue or kazuma's straightman comedy then this anime is right up your alley. Story is unpredictable and unique Art style is a mix of grandblue and isekai ojisan Characters are 1 dimensional but the way they mix and interact with different characters makes them fun to watch

Self-aware dark comedy-parody isekai very much alike of "Interstate 60" First of ll, let's start with the genre. Sometimes dark, sometimes funny odyssey of an unready and naive hero, a wonderful adventure turned something not-what-you-had-expected. And the hero have to run for his life or endure embarrassment, humiliation and inconveniences. But upon reflection you understand that how the real life is, in grotesque and exaggerated form, and the hero is actually getting the life lessons leading to the catarsis and personal growth. First thing that comes to mind is "Interstate 60". Second: "Hitchhiking guide to the galaxy". Of course this anime is not as brilliant, it contains less recognizable satire, it is sometimes slow, sometimes gross, but to its defense, it is not afraid to be gross and makes it a feature. An interesting aspect rarely used in "game dive" settings: you do not gain any new skills by logging in, you remain the same weak stupid shit like in the real life. You might say, so what, there are skill-based games. But in this anime your acquired skills in mouse clicks do not translate into better running. And you cannot login, train martial arts and then log out and be a cool fighter with a biceps size of a football in real life. Therefore, there is a strange psychological phenomena, emphasized in this anime by the encounter with another traveler: if the game is no better than the real life, what is the attraction, why the hero keeps spending time there, why the other character logs in for years just to spend time in prison? I have found my answers watching this anime but I would not spoil it for you. And who knows, may be you will find a different answer, your own.

Bad jokes, terrible characters, no interesting plotlines - that's what anime is all about. I wasn't really hoping for anything good, but I thought it would all turn out much better. This is the worst spring 2021 anime I have ever watched. But to the point: The story begins 10 years from the present. During this time, the full dive technology has been very well developed. During this time, many VRMMO and VR RPG games have been created. The main character is Hiroshi Yuuki, who after he could not buy his favorite game in the store (because his schoolmates robbed him) went to a small shop off the beaten track. There he meets the main character, Reona Kisaragi - a saleswoman and owner of this shop. It offers him his favorite game for a lower price than it is in other stores. Our hero pays and receives ... a completely different game, which is "Kiwame Quest" - the game is characterized by ... too high realism. Initially, the hero does not want the game, but since no refunds are accepted, the hero must take the one he purchased. At the same time, Reona Kisaragi offers the protagonist to play together ... and this is where the "comedy" begins. Exactly, because when there is a comedy, there must also be some jokes. In "Full Dive" we can meet them a dozen per episode. Unfortunately, most of them are not funny at all, or have been repeated many times in other anime. Although I must admit - there were really good jokes that I could smile slightly in front of them. Let me also say that the situations that happen during anime are often (but not always) weak or even unnecessary. I don't want to give any examples here because I don't want to spoil some people. Without some of these situations, the story could have been so much better. The graphics are practically nothing, but still not the worst. As for the music, I don't really remember the anime soundtrack, but I can say that the opening is wonderful. Ending is a bit worse in my opinion. Let's move on to the character. The main character is ... unremarkable. But it does harem around itself. There is Reona Kisaragi in it, who loves the main character because ... I don't know. The creators wanted it, after all, the main character must have some love. Then we have Mizarisa who is a sadist and Alice - Martin's sister who was Hiro's best friend until he killed him in Episode 1 of IMizaris, Alice and Martin are the AI ​​in the game). Stretching, you can also include Kaede, Hiro's younger sister, to the harem. Honestly, she was the only normal person in this anime. As for the antagonists - they are even worse than in SAO. Even specifically, every antagonist makes an ominous smile with grinning teeth, so that the viewer knows that this person is an antagonist. To sum up, "Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara" or simply "Full Dive" is a very weak anime. Virtually every full dive anime is way better than this. The screening was just a waste of time, it's not worth watching. Yes, anime has some small advantages, but many, many other things just turned out tragic.

A shitty anime based on shitty VRMMO, what did I even expect. Watched the whole thing in 4x speed because I couldn't bear to watch it in normal speed, that's how painful it was. It tries to be funny on every moment but ends up being so cringe that it's hard to watch. Sadly, not a single moment was funny, even though the premise of the anime was promising, it was just all downhill after that. While the art style and character designs are fairly normal, the story is itself very incoherent, changing tones to being very serious, and back to being "funny". It just can't decide what kind of anime it wants to be. Based on the MC's character design (Kirito's clone), this was most likely created as a satire anime, but jokes and funny moments are not funny at all. Watching it just made me lose the few brain cells I had.

Let me get this out first. This anime is really cringe. So that's a warning for anyone wanting to watch this. The story is simple. The p*ssy MC sees this plainly suspicious store out of nowhere searching for a new game where he got scammed into buying a different "shitty" game. Then the p*ssy MC, being the pussy he is, agrees to buying it. That's the general idea of the plot. And it's not bad, just badly executed. I don't know anyone who would say that this had good story, and if someone I know says that, then I don't know them anymore. To explain why it's bad, it's because of how in-to-face it is on being a "parody" series instead of being it's own. Not saying that parody is bad (I mean, Gintama, my fav. show is a parody so I don't really think that parody is bad), it's just that successful parody series tends to just use parodies as their one time jokes, and it doesn't revolve around the fact that it's a parody show. But this anime is literally just a jumbled idea of parody that somehow makes sense even though it shouldn't. It both pokes fun on isekai/rpg/virtual sh*t tropes, and parodies them at the same time. Which if done correctly, it would be a game changer of a series. But yeah, just as you think. It's bad and it's just insulting as a show. It's frustrating to watch through because of how idiotic the whole show is. A little spoiler but, you know the whole shenanigans about the mc being bullied? Yeah, that was made into a joke in the last episode which is a slap to the face tbh. It was handled so poorly that I almost stop playing the episode at that moment. So yeah, bad. The characters are also pretty bad. Just plain boring and forgettable. They either exist to be sh*tty characters that makes the pussy MC's live horrible, or does nothing to contribute to anything at all. Also, they talk about how this is the most realistic game ever, but I digress. I never seen an anime with characters so poorly done that I actually believed that the goblins are better written than them. And that's saying a lot since goblins are f*cking goblins. Like, if your characters are worst than a f*cking goblin, then idk what to say. All of them are so underdeveloped that I don't remember anyone that appeared in this anime. The animation is fantastic... in the first episode. But past that and it's a slugfest of poor art, boring direction, and bad animation. It's an insult to anyone's eyes. The music is this anime's saving grace. The ost is fine for the most part, but the op and ed are pretty decent. I don't mind them. Overall, just a bad anime which is just a cringe-fest that is made for masochists. But even them won't be able to handle the pure cringeness of this anime tbh. (3.4/10)

This anime really needed a season 2. The amount of loose ends is worse than a woolly sweater in a thunderstorm. The protagonist is a glutton for punishment, and the viewer is punished for not getting a proper wrap up. At least he keeps choosing to go into the game, instead of reincarnating isekai style. Recommend to self: Was fun, but don't watch again. Life's too short. Recommend to others: It's worth it for the crazy girls alone. But if you're not into fan service and the MC getting a reality check, maybe stay clear? Definitely don't watch, if the MC needs to be overpowered from the start in order to be enjoyable. Art style is generic. Story is unique - in that the power fantasy is ruined. Characters are surprisingly varied, but lack time to truly develop.

This story is about a young guy dealing with the guilt of a small mistake he made in the past. To escape the tough realities of life, he finds comfort in the world of virtual reality gaming. But everything changes when he discovers an old forgotten game known for being so realistic it blurs the line between virtual and real life. What makes this story really stand out is its originality. It's not the usual isekai where characters get transported to other dimensions, nor is it about being trapped in a video game. The storytelling is top, the artwork is also great. As someone who loves good stories, I can confidently say this is one of the best pieces of entertainment I've come across in the past decade.

Full Dive RPG is an anime I believe is quite honestly being treated quite unfairly after watched all 12 episodes of it. I'm not quite sure where all the negativity is coming from towards this series as I found it quite clever at times and honestly a refreshing take and comedy on the oversaturated Isekai/Fantasy genre. During my time watching the show I actually found it to be quite funny, playing and making a mock of commonly found Isekai tropes such as an overpowered mc, automatically love-struck sexy neighbor girl, and strong childhood friend. I won't get too deep into how this is played on as you'll discover it relatively quickly but I found the change in the dynamic and how they cover/resolve it was very interesting and fun to watch. Overall the show also has pretty good comedic timing and I found myself laughing at a few jokes that were made throughout the show. Another aspect of the show that I found pretty solid was the character flaws that existed in reality (pre-MMO/ isekai thing) didn't just magically disappear and become solved when he entered the world, which allows us to actually see real improvement in the protagonist as a person, you'll see when you watch it. TL;DR: In my opinion, this show is honestly quite fun and will probably be slept on due to its Isekai/Fantasy genericness but I think under the hood It's a bit of a gem and refreshing, so in my opinion, just go watch it, you'll probably enjoy it as long as you don't take it to incredibly seriously, and just enjoy it for what it is. A comedy with a pretty solid story and a refreshing take on an oversaturated genre. Story - 7 Art - 8 Sound - 8 Character - 7 Enjoyment - 10 Overall - 9 Am I overrating this show a bit? Absolutely, why? Because I think it needs a bit of a signal boost and I quite honestly heavily enjoyed the show. Have at it.

Really really annoying. The first few episodes were barely good, but at some point, the anime took a nosedive. Urine´s joke and its consequences was repeated for almost 4 episodes ... about 50 minutes of listening to the same thing. And the worst part was that the story needed it to move forward. Also, the protagonist is an insufferable useless character. The author creates situations where it seems like he is going to learn and move forward, but it never happens. He always fails, always cries, is always bullied, always allows others to treat him badly, and always has to be saved by someone else. He never does anything in the 12 chapters. It's hard to see it

Why is this anime getting so much hate? With an average rating of just over 6, I'm surprised it got this much hate. I think it was a great breath of fresh air from all the garbage overpowered MC's. Yeah it's cliché, yeah it repeats some things a bit. But I quite enjoyed it. He's a complete loser and everything in real life is mirrored into the game. However, the story was pretty fun. The twist at the end was something I didn't see coming either. Also, to see the MC slowly start to grow and find something to strive for in life was pretty cool too. Just shows that when you have no goals, life is just boring and stale, of course his goal is to complete a video game but it started to create positive benefits for him in the real world. I admit, his motivation to keep playing at the beginning was stupid and some things became repetitive, however, the latter half of the show was great. In addition, the ending to the season was awesome. I hope they decide to do a season 2, just with some better writing perhaps. Then again, that's down to the source material and I don't know if it is any good. Either way, it has great promise and if season 1 was wrote a bit better it could've been great. Well, that's my take on it.

Sheee , sheee, sheee......I'm doing Mizarisa's chuckle.. So, let's down to business: Story: Pros: It rather unique when you have a story plot that may have been taken from other cyber punk genre anime, the only thing that makes this anime different was that instead of the usual boring MC having it easy to level up, here the MC was really in a lousy game, where he really has to start as a bottomtier loser and from there everything were just one trouble to the next. Cons: Given that this wasn't like SAO were the MC has it easy to level up, here it don't work like them isekai or cyber punk genre, cu'z like what the anime say's "Full Dive: The Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!" and studio ENGI wasn't kidding when they choose this LN to have an anime adaption, so there really nothing "con" about this anime. Verdict: 8 over 10 Art: Pros: Reona being this little eyecandy with big boobs and a body to die for, but, it looks like the MC was just too stupid to see what's in front of him, there that Mizarisa's one time panty shot ...but.... Cons: Mizarisa's outfit would have made her hot if she has boobs, but, there was that one time panty shot of hers changing into her S and M outfit. TBH, I would have prefer a couple of panty flashes form her rather than seeing her in that S and M outfit. Verdict 7 over 10 Sound: Pros: You can feel the MC's struggle, frustrations and other things that don't go well, with the MC. and I kinda like Mizarisa's "Sheeee, shee, shee." Cons: I hate both opening and closing theme. Verdict 8 over 10. Character: Pros: Ok we have one of your typical loser named Yuki Hiroshi, who has been wanting to get a game program for a long time, problem was, 2 bullies were asking for some money from him, not having enough, he found some store in some remote place and buys an alternative game program, typical that he has to encounter a white haired lady with big boobs and a hot body...and as we know, the moment the guy buys some crappy game, that's where his problem begins.....now, who was this Yuki Hiroshi, well given that he's stupid, where a guy like him already has a opportunity to make it big in athletics, decides to make a 380 turn from being a hopeful to a loser cu'z one simply thing that has embarrass him was his inability to hold his pee.....Reona Kisaragi, IMAO I think she was one of those who develop that crappy game, but then again, she wasn't much of any help, maybe just a little, but then again her being with the guy as this small fairy that only the guy can see who basically act as Cheerleader/adviser/ associate , now I don't know about you, but to me she was still useless. Cons: Reona Kisaragi, pretty much useless, her only used was being an eyecandy. Verdict 7 over 10 Enjoyment: Pros: Really this was something that was well worth it. cons: Nothing at all Verdict 8 over 10 Overall: 8 over 10 Well worth it, I say, so season 2????? Ans: Hold your horses, studio ENGI should think twice, cu'z this anime IMAO, was just as good as a single season.....

I know this series is not the best but this series has its own charm and I enjoy it, some things that are true to reality are also positive things from this series, a story that focuses on the misadventures of the characters may offend some people but this series also teaches something positive,the main character may be annoying and lousy but that's the reality that everyone faces. the most important thing is the significant development of the main character, I hope this series can develop other characters besides the main character so that the story becomes more varied. I know this series is not the best but this series has its own charm and I enjoy it, some things that are true to reality are also positive things from this series, a story that focuses on the misadventures of the characters may offend some people but this series also teaches something bad. positive, the main character may be annoying and lousy but that's the reality that everyone faces. the most important thing is the significant development of the main character, I hope this series can develop other characters besides the main character so that the story becomes more varied.

TLDR at the end :P This anime pursues the ultimate real-life experience... so it says. This anime is very niche and that is important when considering watching this. If you are reading this as someone who hasn't watched it yet, be prepared to watch someone go through *admittedly way more extreme* real life hardships and the lowest of lows that you can get. We start off with our main character, Hiro who loved running, but due to an accident he ended up becoming a shut-in loser. By the end of this season, you see Hiro learn and grow up in this real-life world. The enjoyment comes from watching the character you once thought was just a loser and idiot turn into a much more respectable person and may even start to like him a little more. Now, I personally loved Kamui (the one voiced by Yoshitsugu in the subbed version) as my favorite character here, but you will find out why if you watch it through. The whole story develops to complete this redemption of a guy who is a loser, depressed by an accident, who ended up shutting himself in to play video games (sound familiar?), but eventually must go through the hardships of life but actually in a video game. The concept is relatively overused, but when considering the smaller details it is genuinely a very unique and interesting plot. The story does not immediately change him into a great person and he becomes the King of Monsters because he got some insane power from being isekai'd, in fact, it is clear that he isn't anywhere near being finished developing by the end of the anime. We definitely see growth, but as the entire story isn't even near finished, he obviously hasn't even finished becoming what we hope he might end up as. *Hence why a season 2 would be nice :)* THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE END OF THE STORY, so don't treat it like the story is over and he has to already be great :) I don't have much to say about art and animation, it is good animation quality and the character designs are pretty much the same throughout so if you don't like this design you won't like the art, but if you liked it like me then you will like it :) *However it isn't on a movie level or Violet Evergarden, so don't expect some Leonardo Da Vinci stuff lmao* The fight sequences seemed to have quality enough animation, but since these animators probably got paid slave wages for this, I definitely say this was good quality lol. When watching the Trash Full Dive anime, sound effects, the OST, and the OP/ED combo, each one is good enough to fulfill its part. The OST is very good in important parts, as they often helped to compliment the mood and tone of the situation, and the sound effects make the anime seem much more realistic. I would even go as far to say that the seiyuu for this anime are realistic too. Often I don't even consider the seiyuu because usually they are about as good as the anime, but in the Trash Full Dive anime, I thought it would be some average run-of-the-mill, watch on the side while I do homework, anime. However, the seiyuu for this anime feel very genuine and live up to the "ultimate real-life experience." Now, you could probably disagree with that, but beyond just having a voice that fits what type of character they are (the village knight having the deep hearty voice, and the loud troll Darkness mimic having that higher pitched annoying voice (self diss, I have a similar voice :P_)), each voice fits exactly as I would expect someone's expressions to be in the situation they should be in which is what makes the sound very good. In my opinion, each character from Reona to even some random bullies you see for maybe a grand total of 3 minutes are important. Each are important to the growth of our main character. They each shape the character he is at whatever given time, or at some times they are simply there to highlight where he has grown. However, even characters who seemed like they would only be there for a chuckle had some growth, and that is what I found beautiful about it. Now of course, there are still some characters who are just annoying and are consistently annoying throughout the anime. I think I just have either a different sense of humor and it was meant for another audience, or it just wasn't funny, but either way, all characters being funny isn't my only make or break for an action comedy. As for enjoyment, this was the hardest one to rate. I am not one who usually enjoys watching a main character suffer or get completely and utterly *pardon language* shit on. This isn't even an understatement seeing as the whole anime centers around the main character being in a game where it mimics that real life has incredible hardships and speeds it up to push the person playing to become a better person to survive in the real world better. For most others, enjoyment comes from their mood when watching an anime, however for me most of the time, it comes from some expectations when watching it. If most people watch an anime and come out excited after watching it, it wins. If they come out and think, "What the heck did I just watch," then it sucked. Simple. With me, if I expect an anime to be some deep melodrama or expect it to be some fun happy funny full dive game anime like SAO, where there is some sort of plot, but no real hardships and get this anime, I don't enjoy it as much. I for sure felt enjoyment in watching this anime, especially after episode 3 or 4, because I finally got used to the fact that this anime is definitely no SAO. Do not go into this anime thinking it will be some light hearted happy comedy where everyone stays all flowery and blushy because it simply isn't that kind of anime. TLDR Overall, this anime was very solid with the art being consistent and the sound being enjoyable. When you consider going into this anime, if you only want a more light hearted full dive game anime, go watch something else lol. Expect to see the hardships of life and the growth of a loser who may one day (if we get another season or two) actually become a "Hiro" ;)

Finally this piece of garbage end airing This anime had so much potential in art and characters but all went to shit. They ruined every single character,they either became irritating or didnt stick to their personality,the worst character was the yangire girl who literally was trash in the name of yangire,her character was sometimes shown super aggressive and sometimes completely vague,the mc was so horrible its was a retarded mc trying not to be dense but being so retarded that made me wanna punch him. The tries to talk to the walkthrough how stupid. Alicia loved him and she even said this and it was clear that she loved him dearly as they were together since childhood. Whatever,the ending was so shit,the mc out of nowhere became strong in the end,made no sense at all saying that power came out of emotions and all,it clearly said game pursued realism(realism where human can move so fast that people cant see their moves wow amazing) and irl i dont think anyone is able to defend again a veteran swordmaster just because of emotion,so shitty concept. If you are reading this i beg you not to waste your time This anime made SAO look like a Masterpiece. The enemy kept revealing different moves saying everytime that this is their ultimate moves,who wrote such garbage. The ending was even shittier made 0 sense felt like author ran out idea which he never had in the first place,the cliffhanger of a shit anime what could be worst ? The mc is so retarded that even a kid with actually mental retardation would be einstein in front of him.

This title was so esoteric, but it touched me to the very core. First of all, let me say that I felt like it was not too heavy on cliches. I'm saying that I "felt" like that because it may not be entirely true, but when I watching some series I don't try to specifically find any cliches. You only really see those when they pop up very explicitly, and in this title they didn't. The whole title was something that's rarely exploited. MC is certainly not strong, he's weak, but he's not all heroic or too fragile, no. MC is really just a reasonable guy. It was interesting watching him for the entire duration. The secondary main character, her being Reona, is actually quite good too. I loved this whole dynamic of "grown child with childish goals" pulling a high-schooler to play videogames with her. It's not something that would happen in the real life, but it's something unique. She acts as a kind of "guilty pleasure" for the main character and it's interesting to watch. And that's what there's to love about this anime - it's unique. It may not be as well-written as the other ones, it may not be as narrative-heavy as the other ones, but it is unique. Main character is not the chosen one, the plot does not revolve around some kind of dumb simple goals, there's not too many ecchi and there's not too much comedy. Everything seems balanced. The plot does not go in a way you would expect - and I mean, like, not that the main character avoids being destroyed because of the plot armor - I'm talking more about the actual situations that occur. They may seem too spontaneous, but I haven't really seen anything like that in this "full dive RPG" genre. Most of the series that exploit this genre just give the viewer an average MMORPG, but now with the VR helmet or whatever. This title doesn't. I rate this 10 solely because it's so esoteric and unique, and something that's rarely seen. Once you look a little deeper than "meh, another anime that tries to exploit the genre" and try to see the director's and writer's intent, you will in fact see it. You'll see some cliches being reimagined, you'll see satire on certain things, you'll see why and what something happens. And I personally didn't felt like something happened just to satisfy the viewer - and that's the thing that makes me instantly respect the piece. 10/10. Talking honestly this was 9/10, but not the quality of production makes a 10/10 piece - the boldness of the authors and the uniqueness of the piece make such a piece.
