The virtual world that is a bit too realistic. Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara first stage impression ;P
I was looking at the anime spring season list before I found this anime piqued my interest. There are two reasons. One is because I want to start writing again after a four year hiatus. Second, is because I am an RPG addict myself so I would rather had Role playing game anime as my next writing project. By the way, my wait is over and from the first episode, I can say that I am satisfied that it turned out better than what I expected. In my honest opinion, I would not say it was very good but it was quite unique and had potential. Seriously, I just watched other game inspired anime title this season and I feel extremely bored during the very first episode. Having a mediocre story with just a hack and slash stuff was a big NO for me now so thankfully, this anime did not fall to the same category.
It was hinted that Yukii did exercised before but an event turned him into to game addiction |
This anime is about a Virtual Reality type MMORPG which put the players consciousness directly inside the game. While the idea is not the first one, as Sword Art Online and Accel World have earlier start, this anime manages to create differences through how the main character reaction to the gaming world that he played. Meet Hiro Yuuki your ordinary student who is about to start the last year of senior high School. Hiro is also a gamer addict who enjoyed playing a video game through a Virtual Reality machine. Just For your information, Yukii was a normal student who just entering a game world he never played before. He was different from Kirito who was experienced the game world even during the beta season. He was a complete beginner in the game and he never had any exercises in real life. So, the world that was a bit too real will definitely put him stressed both physically and mentally
Add another Z sent you to a dreamland xD |
In the first part of the anime, it was explained about Virtual Reality MMORPG that take many forms and how it had became popular for recent years. Then the scene moves to our Yuki who had conversation with his teacher regarding to his plan after finishing senior high school. From here on we learned that Yuki's really didn't like how life works for him. For example, he could not enjoy exercising/ sport even though one of his friend keep pestering him to at least exercise more. Then, after school, two local bullies, who seem like other school's student, extorted his money. Even his relation to his sister wasn't great either because he accidentally saw her changing (that your fault for keep staring anyway lol). All of that events only made him considered that a virtual world, in where he could become someone else, was a better place to live on.
On the other side of the town, there was a Goblin Slayer LMAO |
When he want to purchased the famous Virtual Reality Games Fantasy FiQue (FINALIZING QUEST) 22, an MMORPG titles that already had a sequels of 22 series (that quite a lot, even Final Fantasy is not at 20 yet xD). Unfortunately, he lack a thousand yen because the local thugs just extorted him before. Feeling down, he left the store until he saw a smaller game shop on his way home. With his last remaining hope, he entered the almost an ancient old game store thinking that he could get a bargain. He entered the shop and met the busty shop keeper, Kisaragi Reona. He asked Reona if the store sell FiQue at 10.000 yen and out of his exception, she told him that his choice was lame. However, after Yukii decided to leave, she grabbed his hand and said that she sold it at 10.000 Yen. After trading, he realized that the game in his hand is not FiQue but an unknown game named Kiwame quest. He tried to get his money back but Reona explained that Kiwame was an RPG that focused more on the realism and it was made for an adult. In short, after tricking Yukii that they sold Fique, she also "forced" him to buy the game.
Stop imitating Titanic LOL |
This was the moment when Full Dive RPG started to get interesting. In his room, Yukii entered the game world using the VR headset. Like a usual, there is an introductory speech from a goddess telling him to leave the town and head to a city named Flora. He opened his eyes and saw how he looked exactly like his real world counterpart. He later opened the window and he could even smell and feel the wind. It was very real that when his feet slipped and struck the chair, he could feel pain. An NPC or what we usually called a Non Playable Character, Alicia entered to the room. She had a role as the main protagonist's childhood friend (so whoever came to the game first time will automatically greeted by Alicia).Yukii was amazed that even for an old game, her skin look so flawless like a real human being, and it even took of the character names out. It is as if that the game tried to left all of the game elements out. Another NPC came inside the room. A sunny and stout looking guy named Martin, who was also Alicia's brother and his "best friend" in the game, entered the room and gave him an apple. After remembering the quest given by the goddess, Hiro asked both NPCs on how to get to Flora city as soon as possible.
Right - Right + Low punch |
What I didn't expect from the anime was that the NPC suddenly freaked out when he told them about the city direction. They explained that the city's gate to outside was off limit and goblins terrorized the city not to mention the world map. Yukii said that it was common for a new adventurer leaving the first town into the wilderness.Little did he know how different this game world to the other game he played before. Therefore, when Yukii wanted to step outside suddenly Martin hold bumped him from behind. Martin said that he was forbidden to leave the town and he would use violence to stop him. Yuki, who thought that Martin fighting him was an event point thought that he was the first obstacle he had to defeat. How shock he was that Martin struck him really hard that he got blood in his face; not to mention that he can truly feel the pain. Angered with how the game treated him as if he was in his real world, Yukii bumped him using his shoulder very hard. It was the shocking event that Martin, an NPC, was laying dead due to using a knife to eat an apple when Yukii suddenly bumped him.
Congrats on your first achievement Yuki ;P |
The shocked Alisia told him that he just do something unforgivable thus leading to her chasing Yuki all around the town. After Yuki finally escaped from Alisia's Wrath, a fairy came to him. The fairy was actually the shopkeeper Reona's avatar. She said that the Kiwame company gave her a fairy skin so that she could become invisible for the NPCs and the monsters; allowing her to work as a support for the main character. The anime was closed with Reona finding out that Yuki first achievement in game was a none other than a Best Friend Killer. It was shocking because Yukii took out the path that was not supposed to happen and it was a totally frantic opening quest for any character in MMORPG. However, knowing that the game had extreme realism, it was not possible too see the outcome from the player's decision. Can Yukii survived the ordeal and finished the game?
