| Okay so this wasn't bad not the worst VRMMORPG anime I've seen but what I did find rather weird is the whole buildup of the story and characters, either everything was the same and kept repeating, yet a lot was useless info that doesn't add more to the character if it's the same for each of the people that they face friend or foe. The pacing was also rather rushed if you ask me, it certainly wasn't bad it had a good solid episodic pacing, but it also felt rushed in so many places. I don't got any reference to any source material but my best guess is that they tried to fit too many volumes into these 13 episodes with a nice final and flash action wise finish but not something spectacular that is that memorable imo. All in all it wasn't bad but just too flat and generic. Not much too say more about it. |

| I need more of this Anime in my life. T.T Season 2 please |
 |
| The animation was lackluster and the plot was kind of boring. I think it would have been interesting to see more the mc have the kind of struggle between seeing ID as a world or just as a game instead of not really delving too much into it My biggest issue has to be with the characters, while their unique charactertraits (like the pimp) are interesting I feel like the execution wasn't done well, the backstories were pointless and Ray felt too basic without any interesting traits that makes you want to watch him kick some ass I kind of wish they showed Shu a lot more as he seemed like the most interesting character/bear, but I guess his strength is too broken, grizz |
 |
| Finished it. Which is more than I can say about 40% of the anime I start, so it has that going for it. I will also say Franklin had to be my most hated character of this season. HATED him/her. Just the whole reasoning for wanting to murder tians/ possible people seemed shallow and childish. It was made pretty obvious on like episode 10 that Franklin was Hugo's sister. Hugo, I hated as well. She/He made this whole stink about protecting women and children but yet said and did nothing as Liliana's sister was kidnapped and both of them almost killed as well as ignoring the plan called for kidnapping the Princess. I would watch a season 2 just to see those two destroyed again. Though seems the show was setting up for character redemption for both. Unfortunately. Overall, not the best, not the worst. But I probably won't remember it tbh. |
| Average show but a fun one. Ray is bland but some others chars make up for it. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Its not an bad show,even though its generic. i enjoyed it.Also liked the character's. I think its pretty fine show for me |
 |
| Wow didn’t expect Franklin to live in the same building as Ray |
 |
| A decent little series that didn’t overstay its welcome. I doubt we’ll see a follow up. 7/10 |
| don't tell me the blond chick in real life he walked past by is the superior killer lol i would have used the opportunity to tease her by first calling her in game name, he had the type of face that says i recognize u :D the Franklin when i first so him reminded me of Minaka for sekirei |

| Hmm. A lot of the reviewers here of the subbed version are a bit harsher than I'd expect. I guess Ian Sinclair's hammy performance as Franklin goes a long way to making the dub a lot more fun than the show actually is. This show has a weird mix of stakes. On one hand, it tries to go for low to no stakes like Bofuri does, players can log out (even if none of them ever really do) and if they die, they pull a Jesus and respawn in 3 in-game days. But, on the other hand, the show also tries to go for high stakes drama like SAO did, since since the Tians are real people who don't respawn. The result just kinda leaves a weird taste. Nonetheless, I'd watch a season 2, but I might wait for the dub since I'm not sure if the writing itself can hold up and I need more hammy Ian Sinclair in my life. |
| If I ever had the chance to play Infinite Dendrogram, I think I would choose to be a Pimp too. Have my own scantily clad succubus "embryo" that is basically just like an obnoxious clingy girlfriend. lol |
 |
| The first part of this episode when Franklin is talking about it made me laugh a little! xD |
| Hmm. This turned out to be identical to the source material in most ways, with the only notable exception being the rushed pacing in the first half (the author is somewhat long-winded and fond of exposition, so I'm not surprised they streamlined things here). That combined with the bare-bones animation makes this come across more like a summary than its own thing. Kind of wished they either slowed things down to end with the Lich arc or got the author to write some Anime-original scenes (according to the LN Afterwords he was heavily involved in the production). |
| I think the only think praise worthy is the world/system setting. My biggest gripes would have to be Ray's motivations (bad taste in my mouth), and that they teased Ray having a second maiden from his gauntlets and she never made an appearance. |
 |
| Ok.. I think some others would have already made the question... to heal his arm he should just die wait 24 hour and he could get a new arm right? should be that easy piecy. |
| I really love this series and the potential of this story, despite the lack of quality animations—it's a banger for me like SAO when I watched this back then. I really hoped for a better sequel. For those who want to read the source. There's already an official English translation for manga up to Vol. 12, while the LN is, I think at Vol. 21, if you want to buy it. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| This anime deserves a better rating than 6.20 and it deserves to have a seconded season. Why people hate good anime, I'll never know. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| Like something I recently watched, Gleipnir, this had all the potential, but fell flat every step of the way. Very rarely are these LN advertisement adaptations good, and while this one was somewhat entertaining, and the foundation for something interesting is there, it's just mediocre. Everything is rushed, and more than once did they reference something out of nowhere that seemed out of context. Additionally, the characters are just there, but there's little to no information about them or any reason to get attached. This is especially true for anyone not named Ray or Nemesis, but even those two just exist. If this was a proper adaptation with proper pacing and care for actual storytelling and character development, I genuinely believe it would be good. 5/10, about as average as you can get. There's definitely worse, especially among the VRMMO "genre," but it's a pretty low bar. |
