Reviews for Full Dive: The Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!

Ever heard of this saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Well, this anime brings that definition into a whole 'nother level. That said, this show is shitty levels of wack trash perception, and so are all of you in real life. I pity those who went in thinking they would experience the typical "serious" fantasy show, without thinking in the back of their minds that this is MEANT to be a comedy first and foremost. In order to understand this bait-and-switch of a conundrum, ask yourself: What is "anime logic"? The smart-ass in me would've said something like this: "“Anime logic” isa term used by many oversmart retards to look cool by showing their advance noticing skills and PhD in Physics.

Seriously y'all, why do you even point out something and say it doesn't make any sense because it won't happen in real life when you're literally watching hand-drawn sketch animation? Also, anime or any forms of media entertainment are intended for the pleasure-seeking experience of their audience, and one thing people tend to forget, is that you watch media to explore something new, to escape reality because if entertainment were like our daily lives, then what's the point in watching them when we can just live our daily lives?

Also, some situations are made that will probably never happen in real life, and people pointing out that “This should've not happened” or “Why didn't he/she/it do that” is just stupid because you haven't experienced that moment yet so who knows what will you do.

So, "Anime logic" means logic LITERALLY applied in anime in order to give you viewing pleasure and let you experience a new reality of It's own. Because we all know everyday life is boring and laws of physics will never let us do crazy things we want to. It may seem ridiculous or stupid to you, but just realise that it's ANIME!" Heh, spoken like a big-brain dork with a PhD in AniManga.

And now, back to Full Dive. The first thing you need to know is that this is by the same author of Cautious Hero, and the most ambitious part is that the anime adaptation was announced just 4 months after the inception of the LN, man, talk about the fastest turnaround time I've ever heard of a source material getting an anime THAT FAST. But if you ask me, the real reason lies with the fact that it's the higher-ups at Kadokawa who are to blame, now that the big corporation is pushing source materials under their big and massive source umbrella to adapt and produce 40 anime per year until 2023. That is great for anime fans, but not so much on the "liturgy" that is the current state of the anime industry, and if you know anything about it, is that it promotes overwork and stress to the point of real-life death (that isn't funny at all).

The second thing about Full Dive, is that it isn't afraid to be the laughingstock of an imitation of SAO, with the VRMMO-esque feature bundled in, together with the help of series composer Kenta Ihara (who also worked on Cautious Hero) and prominent Seiyuu VAs which had their roles passed onto other people. You know Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, the VA who voiced the chad Kirito, he's essentially the one who cleared SAO and many of its VR world derivatives, and now in Full Dive, he has also cleared through this shitty 10-year-old game called Kiwame Quest, which boasts of a literal full-dive RPG...but with realism attached to it so real and shitty that there's no indistinguishable difference between the game and real life itself. And now, his playthrough of Kiwame Quest is solely desired by the "new" Kirito: high schooler Hiroshi Yuuki (voiced by Daiki Yamashita, OreSuki's MC Amatsuyu "Jouro" Kisaragi), whom one day, has desired to look for a game that he could play to pass the time of his past accident, and was stupidly roped in to purchase this shitty game from a game shop, managed by the busty Reona Kisaragi, whom is voiced by Ayana Taketatsu, Kirito's sister Suguha (well that explains the oversized busty boobs). The new "Kirito's sibling sister" role of Hiro has been passed onto his sister Kaede (voiced by Aoi Koga), which if by any indication that she has also VA-ed Kaguya and the soon-to-be Komi Shouko, looks to be a spiritual successor of SAO in the sibling pairing. Add in the fact that the "XL Joushi" Hentai VA Haruki Ishiya voices the Best Friend trope Martin; Ai Fairouz voicing the yandere Alicia (which is absolutely *chef's kiss* perfection) and SAO's favourite monster spirit and Silica's pet Pina's VA Shiori Izawa voicing the sadist Inquisitor Mizarisa, and you have the making of a 100% no-holds barred SAO Abridged version that the pitiful peeing Besto Friendo MC must conquer and find himself clearing the game at a brisk pace (because this is also an SAO trademark). Good luck trying to clear a game that as shitty as it is, you MOFO just have to YOLO this one out with a shitty fairy NPC who makes the mockery out of you both in-game and real life! Isn't that such a wunderful premise and with characters so wack you'd be bulging your eyes out at the complete insanity of it all? YES!? OK, calm down, cool me.

I'll admit that ENGI still has a long way to go with the studio's subpar animation, which are very noticeable with a lot of cutting corners strewn almost everywhere, but the character designs are striking to make up for the lackluster visuals. This show being the studio's 3rd work in Kadokawa's line-up of its astounding "40 anime per year" quota is quite staggering, but the studio hasn't had any choice since it's a subsidary of Kadokawa after all, it was made to promote anime-adaptation works published under the massive corporation. Dang those money-shelling shitty corporations!

At least you get some fun in the form of the OST, to which music artiste Mayu Maeshima has already made her name known on Re:Zero's Season 2 Part 2's OP as her solo debut, not forgetting the fact that she was once part of MYTH & ROID, the go-to "It's Free Real Estate, and Ready Perfectly" outstanding band unit for Isekai shows with banger songs. With her 2nd song "ANSWER" for this OP, I just can't think of a better OP to represent this ballsy lunatic show. Same with all the female MC VAs (plus a sister) for the ED, with all the IN YOUR FACE butt and boob-shoving and amazing voices, how can you not love a show that knows how to subvert your expectations to just for pure insanity?

To finish this review proper, if you still don't get my references of endless satire, you're just as shitty in real-life, NO QUESTION. Love it or hate it, Full Dive as a show is one that will not be a masterpiece in comedy, but it definitely feels like a spiritual successor to Cautious Hero, IMO of course.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? NOPE, this show is the meaning of "TIT FOR TAT", a hoodwinked bait to lure you into watching shitty anime that is all bad and low-key good. A guilty pleasure of a show that even if you find massive hate in it, there's something to love about it as well.

Alright well I gave this 4 episodes and I don't think I will continue with this series after today. (Spoiler Warning just in case). Before I get to review, please stop messaging me about it. If you don't like it, then disregard it and move on. I will just delete your message without reading it, so don't waste your time. Story (3): I was interested with the idea of the "full dive" VRMMO but it is like the creators don't know how most MMO's start. Does every player in this world get 2 childhood friends that can become AI party members? Because that doesn't sound likean MMO, that sounds like a basic single player RPG. Also why does a pretty much dead game still have servers if the company that handled the services shut down? I just couldn't understand how the writing worked here.

Art (7): I will say this is probably where the series shines is in its art style. It's not the best but the characters are drawn to reflect their personalities, especially Reona. If you are interested in the art then you can probably stick with it better.

Sound (6): I never know how to rate this subject so I will give it a 6. The characters expressions come through clearly with their voices and the ending music is rather enjoyable but that is all I can really say about it.

Characters (2): alright so this is what probably made me want to drop the series the most especially once it got to episode 4. The MC is just too cringey for me to want to come back and watch him. He had a rather embarrassing mishap during a track meet and now lives as a shut in and social pariah. His whole character is that he runs when things get too tough, cliche but it can work when done right. I personally think this works when the setting is more slice of life than a virtual world where you have to be physically gifted to succeed in it. Hiro logs into this game twice, I wouldn't have logged into it after the first time, and it is the second time where he is ripped off, cut, beaten, arrested, haunted, and tortured, to which he then quits the game (any sane person would). But then he goes back in after the promise of getting hanky panky from the other character of the series.

Which brings us to Reona, she is either a mega fan or a dev of KQ if she thinks this game is actually good for anyone to actually spend the equivalent of nearly $100 to play it. She pretty much tricks Hiro into buying the game and offers to help Hiro (when she is available to) possibly beat the game and in return she offers to either marry or sleep with Hiro. This game has only been beaten by one person and that person turns out to be a very narcissistic since he thinks people looking for help to beat this impossible game is trash.

Enjoyment (3): I was thinking 4 but I can't personally see this as "decent". I guess if I saw this as more of a comedy, I could get through it but I just don't like the characters and the story doesn't make sense to me. I am sure others will like it but it is a pass for me.

You know, the worst thing about a show like this is that deep down within, there is a reasonably competent, even funny and interesting anime buried within, that thanks to incompetent writing or directing or whatever will never see the light of day. Full Dive is terrible and I'm the kind of person who enjoys the stupid dick jokes from Sentouin Hakkenshimasu and held them in high regard. One of the biggest issues with this is with the characters. My God, Hiro has got to be the one of the most insufferable whiny unlikable twerp in anime (not the worst, that dishonor goes to OumaShu). I'm not against the idea of having a loser protagonist, but you gotta make the protag at least somewhat likable in spite of their incompetence. I've hated Hiro all the way through and he never NEVER gets any better. The rest don't fare any better, apart from Alicia, Mizarisa and Matsuoka-kun, everyone is so thoroughly unlikable and annoying. It goes beyond "funny character quirk" that overstays its welcome, it's "beating you over the head again and again with how much annoying they are and how they never stop".

Then there's the humor. The awful humor. It's not that they're low brow or stupid, again, I enjoyed the stupid dick jokes from Sentouin. The problem is twofold, they're delivered by characters you don't like, and another one, they overexplain the joke, again and again and again. Yes, we get it the game is shitty because it's emulating reality, but my God, they won't stop egging you on it. The worst thing is, there are actually good jokes in this ruined by Hiro yelling and overly explaining the joke. Like, there's this one pretty good one where, after buying smoke grenades, Hiro couldn't use them properly because he didn't light them. The framing, the comedic timing, the pauses, everything was great! UNTIL Hiro decides to open his goddamned mouth.

Like, for every potential this anime has at being even remotely decent, there's a big BUT hovering over it. Like, I like the meta aspects and how it wants to subvert general isekai cliches, BUT, it's done in such an overt manner it ruins any subtlety or tact. I like Alicia BUT she's barely in the damn thing and she does overstay her welcome. I like that one plot twist near the end of the anime BUT the foreshadowing is so non-existent and it comes so suddenly to the point there's no buildup to it. I like having a loser protagonist as a change of pace BUT there is no payoff to him being a loser apart from terrible and repetitive piss and shit jokes.

In the anime, Hiro kept on playing that shitty game he was suckered into buying because of tits fairy, and in a meta sense I suppose I was the same for Alicia. In that sense maybe the anime is some kind of success. But most probably it was garbage to begin with and not some clever metacommentary.

3/10

I never do reviews but this anime was horrible. They try to combine a comedy with a serious anime with a horrible premise and it goes worse than you would think possible. Its not funny or interesting and each episode makes you like it even less. Its horribly written and never picks a path it wants to go down so the theme of it shifts every 30 seconds. That being my biggest problem with it, it just can't pick what it wants to be and tries to be everything and fails. Just don't watch it its a waste of time.

I debated back and forth internally about whether or not I even felt like doing a review for Full-Dive RPG. Ultimately, I decided I needed to let people know about this show. If you thought this was another VRMMORPG Light Novel cash grab, you would be wrong. This is genuinely a unique anime. Uniquely bad, that is. SA…I mean Full-Dive, is one of the biggest wasted opportunities I’ve seen in some time. Episode 1 grabbed my attention and genuinely had me laughing out loud. I remember commenting in discussion threads that this would be the next Konosuba, and how funny it was. I could not havebeen more wrong. As the weeks went by, Full-Dive regressed into a walking meme. In fact, it seemed to be self-aware at times of how stupid its story was. I can confidently say that Reona’s tits literally carried the story and are the only things worth checking out in this anime. The Full Dive video game world that the anime set up was interesting at first, but quickly become repetitive and there’s only so many times the best friend chasing with a knife, or Hiro pissing himself could be used before they got old. Week after week, I watched and hoped that this show would improve, but it just never did. The same old jokes, same old tropes, and an MC who you just stop feeling bad for after a while. For me to not enjoy a show is pretty rare, as everyone who’s read my reviews knows, but this was just bad.

Full-Dive’s disappointing story really is a shame, since the studio did a wonderful job with character designs and the art in the show is amazing. Unfortunately, there’s just not much substance there to back it up. I LOVE VRMMORPG, isekai, etc. etc., this was just a very bad example of one.

Full-Dive is one of the few skippable shows of what ended up being a really good Spring 2021 anime season. If you just want to get a couple laughs, go for it. If you want an actual good VRMMORPG anime, just watch Bofuri. Full-Dive gets 5 piss soaked pants out of 10.

Recommendation: Don't waste your time, this show is bad and not in an entertaining way. Slight spoilers below. Welcome to One Joke: The Anime. From the paragraph-length light novel title of this series, you can probably already tell what the one joke is. Hiro, our main character, is pathetic and cringeworthy beyond belief in real life and the game he tries to play as an escape only piles on the misery. Usually in a story like this, there would be a little bit of the protagonist being pathetic before growing into a heroic figure the audience can actually find respectable. Well,aside from a brief training sequence at the very end of the season, Hiro displays no growth whatsoever. It's pure abuse for Hiro from start to finish. He loses every fight, he gets mocked and humiliated at every possible opportunity, the girls in his "harem" all either hate him or view him as a mark they can squeeze some money out of, and he never comes close to doing anything heroic (or if he does, it's misinterpreted as him being a pervert or criminal and he's attacked for doing it). It's a little funny at first just how committed the series is to never portraying Hiro in a positive light or allowing anything good to happen to him, but a few episodes into the season, the gimmick starts to wear thin and it's just pure secondhand embarrassment at watching him piss himself or get his lunch money taken by in-game bullies over and over and over.

If the series had good side characters, this would maybe be a salvageable concept, but they're completely flat and uninteresting. Reona gets the most screentime but she does little besides provide exposition and a few jokes about how greedy and self-centered she is. Alicia is the closest to having an actual character, the Childhood Friend that is now psychopathically obsessed with killing Hiro after he accidentally kills her brother in the pilot episode, but that doesn't really go anywhere and she spends most of her time offscreen because any time she's on screen, she's trying to kill Hiro. The other two, Mizarisa the loli torturer/dominatrix and Kaede the tsundere little sister, have such little presence that they may as well not exist, and barely have any personalities beyond those few words I used to describe them.

The voice acting is fine for the most part, but the artwork is noticeably substandard for its contemporaries. The character designs are ugly, with odd-looking multi-colored eyes and vacant, blank looks on the characters' faces most of the time. There aren't that many action scenes, and they're sluggish and not especially well-animated or entertaining.

It's funny sometimes, there were definitely some gags that made me chuckle, but mostly it just spins its wheels and repeats the same jokes over and over while making the MC as embarrassing and unlikable as possible. Really the best way to summarize this series is that it's a sort-of funny concept that wears out its welcome immediately and has nothing behind it to sustain the premise or make it entertaining once the main gimmick stops being funny.

I don't understand how people are writing reviews thinking this show is completely serious when it's a pretty on the nose parody of VR games as a concept with direct parallels to Sword Art Online. Saying that the characters make horrible mistakes or that plot points don't make sense is missing the point of the Parody. This would be like lambasting Madoka magica for it's somewhat weird explanation of why magical girls exist. Or blaming Konosuba for the failings of the party on their quest to kill the demon lord. Too many people are missing the point of Fulldive, it's by no means a masterpiecebut it is certainly passable for what it's attempiting.

Fulldive is a decent parody that has some genuinely funny jokes that are material for long running memes. It points out how realism in gaming is not necessarily good and how bad a pain system in a game would be.

In short Fulldive is a pretty decent show for what it's trying to do, and everyone understand this simply doesn't remember the promise we made under the tree and will be forever stuck in Martin time.

i know it wasn't the best story but i would really like to see a season 2 because i thought this show was so funny like you can't make up thee amount of times that I laughed while watching this show, it's insane. I really wanna see Hiro finish the game but i always forget that an anime is just an adaptation of a manga or light novel so if it was canceled and i did not know that it was, that would be really sad. I never expected him to marry o girl, the fairy chick, i just thought it was there for shitsand giggles, but in the end i thought that the joke was well executed.

Written by the Author of the series "Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious" you get another series with a Name that's way too long. Full Dive RPG, just like the title says, is about a game that's even shittier than real life. After the MC gets scammed into buying a game that's over 10 years old for 100 bucks by an attractive shopkeeper he suffers through a game that lets you feel real pain, has only one savegame and needs you to buy a new console to start a new run. After doing some stupid stuff because he wasn't aware of that extremelystupid concept of a game, he proceeds to suffer through that mess of a game that he can't even return because of the shop's "no refunds" policy.

People say this is fun, but I somehow don't see it. I only see a person suffering way too long through a mistake instead of just sucking it up that he lost 100 Bucks. I am not enjoying this psychological torture porn. And I see a lot of plot holes as well, because the story feels very forced. Any normal person would have quit the game very soon, yet the MC continues to play it for way longer than is good for him....

Do you know the series "Pitch meeting" on Youtube? With the running gag "why?" - "So the movie can happen." ? Because this is the entire plot here.

I mean yeah, he does so, so the story can happen and maybe because the shopkeeper is very attractive and offered to play with him, but I don't buy it.

Well... if you turn your brain capacity to about 60% and ignore those things you actually get a decent story with very dark humour and some really cringy scenes. Not in the way a romcom MC is "cringe" but cringe in the way that sends shivers down your spine because the MC is actually suffering. I personally can't enjoy things like that, but there are people who do - so if you are one of them, this show is for you! Because MC suffers a lot.

For the time of this review I rate this 6/10 .

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS*** I hate anime where the MC is just plain dumb. I'm 8 episodes in, this guy is told that this VR game thing is super realistic and whatnot and despite everything he's been through in it, he still acts like a dumbass and gets himself rekt over every episode because he expects it to be "just another game". Like as if he didn't learn from his previous experiences how realistic it really is. Outside the virtual reality of the game, he finds stupid reasons to go back to the game after depressing exits, filled with newfound determination and once again, gets knocked outand responds with "it's supposed to be a game!".

All this would have been barely acceptable as a joke if this was a more humorous take. But to avoid any spoilers, let's just say there is a more serious tone throughout this anime, downplayed by these trashy moments.

Seriosuly bro, machine learning algorithms can do better than this guy's ability to learn from experiences wtf.

First of all I want you to understand that this is my first time writing a review and the reason I am doing it is because of how bad this anime is, I mean I am feeling roped after watching these 4 episodes so much that I had to make a review about it. This anime is so cringe and depressing that it made me wanna off myself. The story is trying to have a point and to give you a moral but that is being done in the most shitty way, that is on top of making a story based already on an oversaturated genre justto try to flip the people over their head. (Is this what good writing is these days?)

The art is not bad but isn't the best either, just the average of what is expected from anime at this age.

Sounds are average as well, I don't remember hearing any remarkable or unique sound track or anything like that.

The characters are all stupid and irritating including the main character himself, I mean if you like mc that get irritated that much then you better off watching Ijiranaide Nagatoro-San or Karakai Jozu No Takagi-San (Both are dumpster fire but still better than this show)

The only aspect that I enjoyed in this show is the idea of Full Dive games and how they might end up expanding to the point that people would hate them and the way they are trying to express the hardships the main character is going through But that's about it.

to be honest I think the first episode was the best episode out of the four it had some good comedy elements and a good aspect for the story but it just went down the hill from there.

non spoiler review: This anime is a cynical comedy on virtual reality anime. With tons of comedy sketches with the MC being the straightman in the show. This anime is not for people who want epic fights or people who loves to get hyped when an MC gets an upgrade or power up. If you love gintama, isekai ojisan, grandblue or kazuma's straightman comedy then this anime is right up your alley. Story is unpredictable and unique Art style is a mix of grandblue and isekai ojisan Characters are 1 dimensional but the way they mix and interact with different characters makes them fun to watch

ill start with the positive the art/art style had nothing to do with why i dropped it i don't think you'll find any sakuga here if you like that ut its not bad 6/10 the sound wasn't bad either tho i never bothered listening to the op or ed which there seems to be no music outside of the op and ed no music isn't bad music 5/10 theres nothing better than a story entirely built on tragic miscommunication 3/10 the characters just kinda suck the main character is kind of a cringy prick with no good aspects about him and his backstory for why he is anasshole in episode 4 is even cringyer

i feel as though there is nothing to gain from this show before you say this review is too serious and this is a comedy show first of all the jokes suck and the main character is an ass but i wouldn't wish this kind of torture he goes through on my worst enemies and the guy that wrote this pos wrote overly cautious hero which is better in EVERY aspect

I created a MAL account just to review this garbage. I wanted to like this show, but I just don't understand how this is a COMEDY. Oh, yeah, it's so hilarious to watch a character be tortured, psychologically and physically (getting his leg almost sawed off by a psychopath-- yeah, that's so funny), and experience severe depression in his real life AND in a video game. Video games are supposed to be a fantastical escapist realm, not whatever in the HELL this is. It really lives up to the name of the anime; and that's pretty much it. Why would anyone want to watchthis torture porn of a show? Why?

It's like the author kept brain wiping the MC every episode to make him forget all the horrible things that happened to him in the previous episodes, just to keep the show going. The entire story feels extremely forced.

I am now depressed from having watched all 8 of the episodes that have come out so far.

The art is decent and the sound is okay. I'd rather watch the hentai with a plot, dumpster fire of an anime: Redo of Healer. Now, that's saying something.

I and anyone else with half a brain would've dropped this game IRL within five minutes, but the author forces the MC to keep going and FOR WHAT? So he can experience his depressing real life but tenfold?? Why would anyone want to watch a show like that? It's just depressing, that's it. Dropped.

This anime really needed a season 2. The amount of loose ends is worse than a woolly sweater in a thunderstorm. The protagonist is a glutton for punishment, and the viewer is punished for not getting a proper wrap up. At least he keeps choosing to go into the game, instead of reincarnating isekai style. Recommend to self: Was fun, but don't watch again. Life's too short. Recommend to others: It's worth it for the crazy girls alone. But if you're not into fan service and the MC getting a reality check, maybe stay clear? Definitely don't watch, if the MC needs to be overpowered from the start in order to beenjoyable.

Art style is generic. Story is unique - in that the power fantasy is ruined. Characters are surprisingly varied, but lack time to truly develop.

So i really did give this a go, im 5 episodes in but i just can't watch anymore. The story seemed interesting enough at first but then it jumped off a cliff and the rest is just watching someone scream in freefall wating for the inevitable to come. It feels like watching someones personal hell, kind of a downer in general. Art looks pretty good (Clap-Clap) nothing too exciting but could be far worse. Sound is there, along with the incessant screaming... Characters are.. Well the protagonist is someone with commen sense, the rest of the note worthy characters are demons stringing along said protagonist without any concernof his wellbeing. Like a hypocritical sister that yells at him just to vent without actually understanding what he's going through. The main heroin is the worst of all, literally evil incarnate. Scamming him into hell, takes delight in his suffering, seduces him into prolonged suffering... God this Authors messed up.

Suffice to say my enjoyment was strained, if anything im feeling pretty down from this. And i enjoyed Berserk ffs.

Tldr. Its messed up while kinda acting like its not, pretty boring, looks decent, lots of screaming.. Not worth the time.

Overall, this isn't a bad show. That being said, where good comedy works and bad comedy fails is down to shifting of expectations, but you have to shift expectations in the right way. You build upon a common premise, that people can understand and even relate to, and then turn the expectations on their head. its why the author's other work was so funny. Here's the hero, is he going to jump into heroing? No. Because he wants to prepare first, cue a little exaggeration to make the funny happen. The first two episodes were enough to make me give this show a 7 despitemy very low feelings regarding the third and four episodes because having someone buy a game that they were conned into buying by hot checkout lady, and then...hijinks happen. Was funny. What followed afterwards however...was stupid and not in a fun way. However, comedy is subjective so some people might still find this funny. For me, episode 4 was the final straw because they didn't give me a single convincing reason anyone...absolutely anyone with half a brain would dive back into this game, and they also didn't write the character as being stupid enough/ pervy enough for his decision to make any sense. And when the funny failed the rest of the show failed with it, because pretty much none of the characters felt likeable, or even particularly interesting.

So before I start my review about this anime, there's something I must say THIS IS THE LONGEST TITLE I'VE EVEER SEEN, "Full Dive: The Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier than Real Life!", I'm not saying it's bad, but the opposite. It's actually quite funny and leaves a pretty deep impression. To begin with, I must say this anime is pretty original and the story's pretty attractive. True that It's pretty similar to SAO or other full dive RPG anime, but it feels a little different. The main protagonist always has bad luck, which leads the story pretty interesting and hilarious. Sometimes It'spretty emotional and serious about the story like ep. 4, which is about his past and it explains everything about him, which explains the first scene of ep. 1. And I really love his past story.

For the story, I would give it an 8 or 9 for the moment.

However, I think the art, the voice actor, background music could definitely have done much better, It's not disappointing, but not attractive either.

Overall it's pretty hilarious, fun, interesting, emotional, but I would give it a 7 for the moment because the art and sound could be much better. The story itself and the character are great.

Many people voted for this anime for 1 or 2, but I think some people are taking the whole anime too seriously. We have to remember the main genre of this anime is a comedy, but also contain some significant and emotional point starting at ep4.

Bad jokes, terrible characters, no interesting plotlines - that's what anime is all about. I wasn't really hoping for anything good, but I thought it would all turn out much better. This is the worst spring 2021 anime I have ever watched. But to the point: The story begins 10 years from the present. During this time, the full dive technology has been very well developed. During this time, many VRMMO and VR RPG games have been created. The main character is Hiroshi Yuuki, who after he could not buy his favorite game in the store (because his schoolmates robbed him) went to a small shopoff the beaten track. There he meets the main character, Reona Kisaragi - a saleswoman and owner of this shop. It offers him his favorite game for a lower price than it is in other stores. Our hero pays and receives ... a completely different game, which is "Kiwame Quest" - the game is characterized by ... too high realism. Initially, the hero does not want the game, but since no refunds are accepted, the hero must take the one he purchased. At the same time, Reona Kisaragi offers the protagonist to play together ... and this is where the "comedy" begins.

Exactly, because when there is a comedy, there must also be some jokes. In "Full Dive" we can meet them a dozen per episode. Unfortunately, most of them are not funny at all, or have been repeated many times in other anime. Although I must admit - there were really good jokes that I could smile slightly in front of them. Let me also say that the situations that happen during anime are often (but not always) weak or even unnecessary. I don't want to give any examples here because I don't want to spoil some people. Without some of these situations, the story could have been so much better.

The graphics are practically nothing, but still not the worst. As for the music, I don't really remember the anime soundtrack, but I can say that the opening is wonderful. Ending is a bit worse in my opinion.

Let's move on to the character. The main character is ... unremarkable. But it does harem around itself. There is Reona Kisaragi in it, who loves the main character because ... I don't know. The creators wanted it, after all, the main character must have some love. Then we have Mizarisa who is a sadist and Alice - Martin's sister who was Hiro's best friend until he killed him in Episode 1 of IMizaris, Alice and Martin are the AI ​​in the game). Stretching, you can also include Kaede, Hiro's younger sister, to the harem. Honestly, she was the only normal person in this anime. As for the antagonists - they are even worse than in SAO. Even specifically, every antagonist makes an ominous smile with grinning teeth, so that the viewer knows that this person is an antagonist.

To sum up, "Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara" or simply "Full Dive" is a very weak anime. Virtually every full dive anime is way better than this. The screening was just a waste of time, it's not worth watching. Yes, anime has some small advantages, but many, many other things just turned out tragic.

Let me get this out first. This anime is really cringe. So that's a warning for anyone wanting to watch this. The story is simple. The p*ssy MC sees this plainly suspicious store out of nowhere searching for a new game where he got scammed into buying a different "shitty" game. Then the p*ssy MC, being the pussy he is, agrees to buying it. That's the general idea of the plot. And it's not bad, just badly executed. I don't know anyone who would say that this had good story, and if someone I know says that, then I don't know them anymore. To explain why it's bad,it's because of how in-to-face it is on being a "parody" series instead of being it's own. Not saying that parody is bad (I mean, Gintama, my fav. show is a parody so I don't really think that parody is bad), it's just that successful parody series tends to just use parodies as their one time jokes, and it doesn't revolve around the fact that it's a parody show.

But this anime is literally just a jumbled idea of parody that somehow makes sense even though it shouldn't. It both pokes fun on isekai/rpg/virtual sh*t tropes, and parodies them at the same time.

Which if done correctly, it would be a game changer of a series. But yeah, just as you think. It's bad and it's just insulting as a show. It's frustrating to watch through because of how idiotic the whole show is. A little spoiler but, you know the whole shenanigans about the mc being bullied? Yeah, that was made into a joke in the last episode which is a slap to the face tbh. It was handled so poorly that I almost stop playing the episode at that moment. So yeah, bad.

The characters are also pretty bad. Just plain boring and forgettable.

They either exist to be sh*tty characters that makes the pussy MC's live horrible, or does nothing to contribute to anything at all.

Also, they talk about how this is the most realistic game ever, but I digress. I never seen an anime with characters so poorly done that I actually believed that the goblins are better written than them.

And that's saying a lot since goblins are f*cking goblins. Like, if your characters are worst than a f*cking goblin, then idk what to say.

All of them are so underdeveloped that I don't remember anyone that appeared in this anime.

The animation is fantastic... in the first episode. But past that and it's a slugfest of poor art, boring direction, and bad animation. It's an insult to anyone's eyes.

The music is this anime's saving grace. The ost is fine for the most part, but the op and ed are pretty decent. I don't mind them.

Overall, just a bad anime which is just a cringe-fest that is made for masochists. But even them won't be able to handle the pure cringeness of this anime tbh.

(3.4/10)
