Un anime VR comme SAO, mais sans vraiment de danger
Bonjour à tous,
on se retrouve aujourd'hui pour faire le point sur cette anime : Infinite Dendrogram.

Pour commencer, c'est l'histoire de Rei qui commence un jeu VR immersif qui s'appelle Infinite Dendrogram. On va le suivre dans ces aventures, quêtes et rencontres.
Il y a 2 ressorts dramatique dans cette anime :
1. Le fait que les PNJ tués, meurent vraiment et ne reviennent jamais.
2. Le fait que si un joueur meurt dans le jeu, il ne peut plus se connecter pendant une période de temps.
De plus, quand l'on se connecte pour la première fois, on obtient un Embriyo qui est une sorte d'arme qui peut prendre forme humaine et agir comme tel.
Dans quelques situations, je trouve que la personnification de l'arme est pas mal, mais bon au final elle font quand même tout ce que veut le joueur donc je ne sais pas si on peut vraiment dire qu'elles ont un libre-arbitre.
Sinon, bon point, il n'y a pas trop de fan service.
Il y a aussi, le fait que le méchant soit méchant juste parce qu'on l'a harcelée ou un truc du genre, je trouvé ça nul, même si je sais que le jeu peut permettre de nous défouler avec d'autres moyens qui ne se trouvent pas dans la vie réelle, je trouve que ça manque quand même un peu de réalisme.
Je pense aussi que ce qui m'a déçu, ça à été mes appriori sur l'anime car j'avais vu la couverture du LN avant de voir l'anime et je pensais que le fond de l'anime serait beaucoup plus noir et sombre que ça, donc je pense que je ne m'attendais pas du tout au genre, on va dire normal, d'un jeu video.
Ce qui me dérange un peu, également, c'est le fait que Rei, le personnage principal, ne meurent qu'une fois pendant les 12 épisodes, et qu'il ne manque pas grand chose dans le jeu.
Le problème est pour moi que le côté shonen est trop poussé et que ça enlève la partie dramatique de l'anime.
Par exemple, je pense que si j'avais vu plus de tians se faire tuer, j'aurais peut-être plus accroché

Je ne sais pas si le Light Novel est mieux que l'anime, vu que je ne l'ai pas lu.

Conclusion :

Infinite Dendrogram est anime shonen qui est pas mal, mais bon, mais non plus fou, car le combat que je retiens et le combat entre les 2 supériors, mais pas d'autre, car je pense que pour les autres, on sait déjà ce qui va se passer, ça casse un peu le suspense. De plus, j'ai trouvé que les graphismes étaient normal, mais pas super beau non plus, pour les ost, je n'en n'ai pas retenu.

PS : ceci n'est que mon avis personnel. Je ne vous empêche pas d'avoir un point de vue différent du mien. Je pense que tous les points de vue sont à prendre en compte tant qu'ils sont argumenté.

Your average Isekei, which is nothing special
It's been a long time since an anime grabbed me in such a way that I watched it without pausing. However, I have to say that "Infinite Dendrogram" was fun for me, but it is far from perfect, let alone my favorite anime (or similar).

Appearance / sound
I couldn't find anything in particular that I would like to praise here. But nothing to criticize either. Only the sub was strange in some places or the choice of words was weird. This also includes names of things in the game, such as the special designation of the NPCs "Tiam". Either way, I'll just call them NPcs, there isn't even a real justification for the name, why shouldn't I call them "Non Player Character"?

Plot
I just have to compare this anime with Bofuri, the extremely similar scenario alone invites you to do so. At the same time, the anime couldn't be more different.
While Bofuri is a pure comedy anime that doesn't have really good characters or a great world to offer, Infinite Dendrogram isn't really funny, but has a well thought-out world and great characters, but story-wise it can't (yet) shine. There are allusions to various story elements, characters swear revenge, others make mysterious remarks, otherwise the protagonist Ray just walks around and happens to run into problems again and again.
That's why I didn't think the anime was as good as Bofuri. While this unfolds completely in the comedy and is absorbed in it, this anime (so far) seems like an introduction that only introduces important characters and elements of the world or story. Still, I see great potential if the anime ever continues.

Unfortunately I have to criticize the finale and the second half of the anime. While the first half went through one event after the other very quickly and treated one episode for several days or weeks, the pace was slowed down significantly in the second half. About episodes 7 to 13 deal with 2 days. I don't like such changes, although some events are of course more important than others and therefore get more attention, but I would have liked a pace to be set and roughly maintained. Simply for the reason that you can see from the number of episodes how far the story is going this season. In this case, I assumed I was seeing at least a little more, maybe even another form of nemesis, Ray's embryo. The term "embryo" is pretty strange if you think about it. Due to my expectation to see a bit more, I was slightly disappointed, also how the anime ended in the middle of the fight.

Otherwise, a few problems can be listed here that Bofuri also had. Above all, however, the fact that "Infinite Dendrogram" is just a game can be criticized: Even if it is repeatedly pointed out that the game does not look like a game, it is a game! This makes successes or defeats less important, because it only happens in the game. In addition, I find the death penalty slightly ridiculous, being locked out only for 24 hours (72 ingame hours) sounds like a lot, but it is not. On the one hand, every player will have to pause for a longer period of time, certainly 24 hours. On the other hand, there are no other disadvantages, I find death in Minecraft, where potentially all items are lost, much worse.

Characters
The characters are, as already mentioned, quite good: Most of them have a background story, which is usually not very long but fits their characters. The successful and comprehensible links between background stories, character traits and skills are also cool, making the anime look more realistic.
Otherwise the characters are unfortunately quite one-dimensional, Ray alone is probably the stereotypical hero that exists in such stories.

Conclusion
Even if it was really fun to watch, the first season of this anime is just above average. The story is only hinted at, the world is well made, the characters not bad, but far from perfect. I see great potential in other seasons, so I hope that some will appear. Even if I can't imagine that it will ever come close to Bofuri. Unless you don't like comedy anime or the humor of Bofuri.
