The second season of Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu.
The best offense is a great defense, and for VRMMO gamer Kaede Honjo, her defense is the best. Under her alias Maple, she and her guild journey through NewWorld Online gaining friends and foes through new battle-filled quests. All those skill points, new defensive techniques, and no pain—Maple can’t be stopped!

Annoyed that the ending chat didn't have subs. So, while my Japanese isn't great, particularly when it comes to reading their alphabet...
New World Online 6th Event Part 13 [See You Next Year]
168. Well done
169. Good job!
170. Have you seen the video of the event yet?
171. I saw it. I was shown something amazing at the end of the year.
172. A team up of Maple and Payne
173. I got in trouble because I couldn't stop watching it when I was busy.
174. Worst duo
175. It's against the rules to team up
176. Maple attracts monsters and Payne hunts them. They're a good match.
177. No, this event was fun to the end
178. It seems the 5th floor will be released early next year
179. Extremely defensive?
180. Did you increase the number of staff?
181. Anyway, good luck next year!
182. Nice to meet you!
183. Happy New Year everyone!
184. Happy New Year!
There you go. Glad to see Maple and Friends back for fun times.
No sense sugarcoating it, but Bofuri doesn't exactly have great animation, or much of it for that matter. Still, I find these episodes really fun just based on premise and material. Maple finding a secret boss and beating him to gain another skill will never not be funny, and just the ridiculousness of what she can manage to get doesn't really grow old. It's plain old fun, and the cuteness of Maple and the rest of her guild definitely help with that. Probably the "best" aspect of the anime though is the environment art, it's super pretty and well done, and is very noticeable with everywhere that they end up. Alongside that, I do really enjoy the little montages we've gotten in both episodes so far, the music for them is just right to make it feel fun and relaxing. There's really not a great deal to say with this series other than the fact that it's a fun watch in spite of it not having the absolute best quality out there. The only thing I think I might complain about is the pacing, though I've not read far enough into the novel to see whether it's just as fast there or if it's something specific to the anime.
