Bofuri

 I am not sure why Japanese have unhealthy obsession toward Fantasy series that have overpowered main protagonist, is it the life in their society make this kind of Garbage so appealing as coping mechanism or something else. Anyway this series called Bofuri is another of those hot garbage aggresively promoted by Kadokawa and my curiosity got the better out of me since this series happened to get tons of prize figures during my time in Hobby Toys industry. Bofuri is a Fantasy MMORPG themed anime where the Casual gamer high school girl protagonist heroine got ridiculously overpowered by maxing her defensive stats to the point of beating top players of her game with relatively minimum effort.

Ever since I got into anime more than a decade ago, I have always enjoyed a good high fantasy anime and Bofuri is the extreme polar opposite of this ideal. Bofuri essentially lack proper immersion and worldbuilding and the essence of the series is stripped to the core to cater for masses. This series is effectively a moeshit anime dressed in Fantasy series for maximum isekai appeal. As expected by Kadokawa, Bofuri got really pretty makeover treatment but it is fundamentally bad to have any staying power for long term even if the anime got second season. There is no enjoyment from a Fantasy where a clueless main protagonist get to be a munchkin without any effort and have OP stuff handed on a platter for her. Maybe I will give Log Horizon a try to wash this bad aftertaste
