This Anime is just not for me personally.

1st season was okay, I liked it. But 2nd season really starts to focus on the "Slice of Life" aspects, to the point where it made the Anime simply TOO BORING for me to keep watching.

I dropped the anime at the 7 minutes mark on episode 7 of this 2nd Season... this Season made me so utterly BORED, and NOTHING this Anime is doing throughout this season, is helping me think more positively of it in ANY way.

An Anime hasn't bored me this much in YEARS. I'm just not into it. I like the characters, but the story is so mind-numbingly AVERAGE that I can't even give the Anime a 5/10 rating.

There is no excuse to be making a story as boring as this... It would literally be more fun & engaging PLAYING a generic MMORPG game instead of watching this disaster of an Anime...

I remember the first season being much better and more engaging, and I expected the same level of quality to continue into this season. However, it turned out to be a total letdown. The entire show seemed to have transformed into a cute girls doing cute things while cute songs played in the background kind of anime, focusing more on the "moe" aspect than anything else. If you enjoyed season 1, I would recommend passing on this season.

Bofuri is such a fun series to watch. Not to mention the animation is so entertaining to watch. The goofiness and nonsense from season one continue on in this season and I'm not disappointed. The music is so gratifying and never ceases to amaze me. All the characters are still enjoyable, and something about them makes our cast charismatic.

I mean it's alright, definitely not as good as the first season though. Unlike season 1 I have not watched an episode where I felt like i can rewatch it 4x back to back as soon as it comes out. I also don't find the episodes as fun and memorable as from the previous season.

I do however like the growth for the other guild members, but I feel like since there's a lot of them they aren't presented as well compared to when Maple was doing her thing in S1, since they have to juggle between characters. I also didn't like how there's a new floor every couple of episodes since we don't get enough time to really appreciate the themes and such for each floor now.

I still really like this anime though, its dumb in the best ways possible. It's also nice to see the other guild members shine and match Maples shenanigans in terms of skills and whatnot.

This is a very wholesome series.  It has wonderful friendships that are seen throughout the two seasons.  Another positive is how even the rivals treat each other well.  There are also many amusing scenes through the seasons, though more so in the first season since you know what to expect as you go into the second season.  This series is more about the characters than the environments in my opinion.  I enjoy watching shows in which people actually treat each other as they should, and look out for one another.  The voice actors do an excellent job, the story is well written and inclusive for all viewers, the animation is pretty good, but as I said this anime is much more about the characters and who they are.
