I don't know why this anime has so many negative reviews and why this is less than 7 stars , but in my opinion it is one of the best anime I've seen, although SAO and LOG horizon would still be better than this , but this anime is actually better than lots of trash vrmmorpg type anime, the protagonist isn't super powerful here , there are no cheat skills or anything, most of the settings seem normal, it's actually better than Is it wrong trying to pickup girls in a dungeon, i wish this anime had more episodes and more seasons, whoever reading my review i would humbly ask you to not be bothered by negative reviews and go ahead and give it a try , thanks.

It doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. it doesn't have a taste at all.
It is neither good nor bad. it is just empty. not even entertaining. i'd rather choose a horrible anime than this empty one. it's like playing a game but skipping the story.
story: generic but empty, not even entertaining. There are the originals of stories and later on it becomes generic if used over and over again. nevertheless, generic stories most probably will be entertaining. For example, marvel movies are the best generic but entertaining stories. Infinite dendrogram is generic but horribly empty. It is generic because it follows a standard, but it is empty because it's execution of that standard is not complete. It lacks the minimum of generic stories - entertainment. it might as well pursue ecchi , at lea…

As usual, a video game anime where the game is never balance... Hear me out, a level 1 can beat Level max that has grind for years in one hit. I think i have cleared everything for this review. Bye.
Anyway, this anime is about a video game VRMMORPG which use the same nerve gear as SAO. Infinite Dendogram is a game with infinite possibilities, you can be anything, anyone. That's what they said. Hardwork and Talent are pointless, you can grind all you want, you can have great reflect or high intelligence, those are literally useless in this game because why? Because LUCK exist. Basically, anyone with personality that see the video game as real and not a game will receive a Maiden-type familiar (literal pocket waifu) which is very rare and op.
The mc just beat the shit out of a huge centip…

I was just watching this series because I wanted something to do with my time, so I wasn't taking it too seriously.
The characters aren't really anything great - Ray is extremely underdeveloped as a main character, and strangely enough, his Embryo, Nemesis, gets perhaps the least focus of everyone, and I expected her to be a main character, but she just wasn't.
The other characters are.... better. None of them are really amazing, but the ones that kept vaguer have an air of mystery to them that makes you think they're pretty interesting, and what you do see doesn't hurt that image. That's most of the high powered players, they're interesting, because they aren't really explored. While Ray and Nemesis are like 4's - not good, sometimes get in the way, but ignorable, the rest of the cast…

It's pretty great. The skill variation going on inside that "game" are a lot, so it's pretty enjoyable to see every people is unique and it's not that much of a repetitive sword swing every time there's a battle scene.
The MC personality is great too in my opinion. I loved the MC that different from the generic wimp Japanese character that can't do shit when violence involve. Love to see him pull us along into the story.
Too bad it's a short anime, and now I have to suffer wanting to know more on what is about to happen inside that "game".

I am glad i ignored all the hate comments and watched this anime, its got real good animation and story. Its like slice of life isekai anime where mc gets stronger without much effort, it is very different from sword art online and others, it has action too idk why its not in the tags and some jokes are really funny, it is one of the light hearted anime which just makes your day,
If you are the type of person who is just an adrenaline junkie then this anime is not for you...
The story is decent without many plot twists, which makes it easier to have fun while watching it.
The artwork and art style is like every other anime.
The sounds are decent too, they are reason every pun they had became funnier.
All the characters are better written than the mc which gives this anime more depth a…

This show is not for anyone who's an 'anime fan' looking for compelling shows that tug on your heart strings, have plots with crazy twists, deep messages, and whatever other things that make a show great.
If I had to make a comparison to help you decide if you should watch it, it's not as deep as 'Log Horizon,' but it's got more flare than 'Isekai Cheat Magician.' It almost borrows elements from both shows and comes up with a show that's likely to get ranked in between them, depending on how you feel about each one. But honestly, if you like this genre, or if you're just trying to appreciate this show for what it has to offer rather than comparing it to other shows you watch, it's very enjoyable.
No breathtaking visuals or sound; nothing you haven't seen before. It's about what you'd exp…

Caught in a catchphrase...
Once in a while, some animes will remind you the efforts involved into its making. So it should't suprised you if i tell you that Infinite Dendrogram is all about the efforts the studio rather wouldn't make. Or maybe the studio tried very hard to make this anime one of the worst of its kind (which is, now that I think about it, a very good way to prevent making efforts)
So yes, Infinite Dendrogram is a catastrophe, mostly because of its main character. Unfortunately not only because of him. From the poorly made actions scenes, short and overconfident, to the story, short and overconfident, there's not so much to grab from this anime which comes from nowhere and will swiftly return there. Maybe here and there some snappy dialogs, but funnily enough, dialogs comin…

Inifinite Dendogram follows Ray Starling as he makes his way through the world of Inifinite Dendogram and dealing with the obstacles thrown his way and tries to grow.
That said, I have very little more to say because the show was just so... Whelming. The plot is basic, so are the characters and the villain made no sense to me. I guess the animation was decent.
It was rather disappointing to see that the protagonist offered nothing new to the show and he was as standard as a standard Isekai protagonist gets. There was also the whole thing with the Sherlock Holmes kid. I just found it weird and not very entertaining.
Whike Isekai has produced some interesting twists into the genre like edgier heroes and more interesting worlds, Infinite Dendogram offered none of that which was unfortunat…

I'm a huge Isekai fan, and that is to say Isekai in the large sense of the term. I consider every show where a character lives in a world setting different than his original one an Isekai.
So this show started pretty good, I'd say the first 19 minutes of the first episode were great. The world was slowly explained, we got introduced to various characters and I really liked it overall. Imagine a game where every single action you take is permanent. No reset nothing and it goes on forever. Typically when you kill a mob or NPC they just come back to life if you reboot the game or buy a new one. In this world it's definitive so it lets you experience it differently. See how fascinating that sound? Well i'm here to tell you to throw all of that out the window.

Infinite Dendrogram (2020)
Why do shows get made where a fight is more an explanation of why they are there and how they will defeat them and a life story of the struggles they are going through. All you need is a straight forward character to cut through them all. If you do these things do it as flashbacks or beside the fight.
It is not the worst premise of a show and is generally enjoyable. Another show of this season was very much better than this in most aspects.
The story is fairly generic of a VR style game with believed in some that it is more than a game. The protagonist and later it turns out his brother happens to be top class characters in a chance-based system to start. Usually, it can be very enjoyable to see unrivalled power growing but not when you get 90% of a fight bei…

I started watching this one not thinking much of it, but I thought "hey it's a new one of the season that may be decent, I'll give it a try!" Though it may not have been the worst anime I've watched, it definitely wasn't good.
Story: The story itself had something to go around, it was a kind of different concept but executed poorly, having the infinite possibilities in a different world and a hero figure is pretty bland at this point, but this anime didn't really help out the blandness of the genre much.
Art: I appreciated the art, everything looked nice and was pretty good quality, not much to complain about there.
Character: The characters were the worst part about this series, Ray was just a stereotypical hero character that had no defining original idea about him, and having to put…

“The possibilities are endless.” - Infinite Dendrogram’s slogan
This review contains mild spoilers.
🙅♂️ 4/10
Welcome to Infinite Dendrogram, the world's first successful full-dive VRMMORPG, where the possibilities are endless. Infinite Dendrogram is a show about the game of the same name. Infinite Dendrogram shows potential, but sadly it was wasted in almost every way. If Infinite Dendrogram was food, it would probably be the one that looks good but tastes bad.
🎬 Story - 2/10
At first glance, Infinite Dendrogram might look like Sword Art Online, but it is not. According to the slogan of Infinite Dendrogram, this is where anything can happen. The overall story is not predictable, due to the unique abilities each character has, which seems to be a fairly nice idea, but at the same tim…

Do you like trash? Not funny kind of trash, but a hot steamy pile of irredeemable garbage? I think not, cause noone does, and yet here it is. I remember someone said "Dude this novel is pretty good, you might want to check it out." I didn't and after this adaptation I surely will not. Now, a bit more details.
Sound and art - basic and bland, nothing worth of mentioning.
World and story - oh boy, here is the first part of what makes this anime terrible. Ok, I get it, it is a MMO RPG that is so realistic that it is "alive". Or maybe it is not a game and a real world and players are transported there with some arcane stuff that everyone thinks is just a game - who cares. But man, if it is a living world, can you at least make it CONSISTENT? We have fantasy stuff as usual, magic-swords-archers…

Vengeance is...dull.
Infinite Dendrogram is another line of game isekai anime in the same lines as Sword Art Online where the gimmick to this VRMMO is that that there are infinite amount of possibilities that can happen. By that, LA means ANY possibilities be it quests, abilities and the players themselves can bring in these possibilities throughout the anime, Oh and the NPC's, when they die, they die forever...you know like Log Horizon does and with that if NPC's die, their quests goes with them. Infinite Dendrogram does do something new with this concept but man.....typical game isekai cliches ABOUND.
So before LA rants about Infinite Dendrogram, it does have a few strengths to it. Like for one, the main character Reiji Mukudori "Ray" voiced by Souma Saitou is uber powerful what with t…

Forgettable, that’s all this show is, just so god damn dull and forgettable. I don’t mean just the entire show as a whole but also after each episode it’s difficult to really remember what happened. There’s just not much there plot wise that’s really worth remembering despite how much terminology and infodumping the show does. So much of it is just unnecessary as the information seems to extend farther than the show's 13 episode scope. Outside of what little there is worth remembering about the show, there’s not much that’s memorable about the show in of itself. There’s nothing about the setting, the characters, the battles, the interactions, or just about anything else about this show I really want to remember for the sake of remembering. The most effort I have put into trying to remember…

I enjoyed Infinite Dendogram. Yes the main character is badly written, but the others make up for it. I didn't care what happened to Ray Starling, but I found all the other characters compelling, from Marie the alleged journalist to Hugo and Franklin to even Nemesis.
It's an enjoyable and light-hearted show, especially if you pretend that someone other than Ray is the main character. Unlike many shonen shows Dendogram doesn't surround Ray with people who worship him--Ray is treated as either a friend or a lovable little brother, a welcome break from "the sun" trope that's been done to death in shonen. This is what makes the other characters so compelling and is why they're able to compensate for the shallow tropeyness of Ray.

July 15, 2043. On that day, a Full-Dive VRMMO was released, with its unique system called "Embryo" allowing each player to follow an extremely varied—or rather, an "infinitely" varied pattern of evolution. The game's name and slogan?
" offers a new world and your own possibilities."
What possibilities you may ask of offer in the new world? Generic tropey settings? Generic sterotypical characters? Generic visuals? Generic music? The whole platter of this game is genericness, and the reason why we watch this generic Isekai series is to be offered a new world with DIFFERENT possibilities, not to watch series like this of boredom...who would want that?
The "first" VR MMORPG (with AI) to make waves in the reality world (that isn't the human world), oh how great the world they live in! Oh,…

Dendrogram is a show that had potential, but failed to ever really live up to it.
More often than not with anime adaptations of isekai and VRMMORPG Light Novels, we see that they’ve only reacted acted as promotional material for the LN. Dendrogram doesn’t break that mould at all and while a fun watch for me personally, fell flat for long stretches.
The world and characters that the show introduces are interesting, however rarely are fleshed out and rarely are we actually made to care about them or their struggles. The notable exception to this is Nemesis who I personally really liked.
Even without having read the LN(will do later), I can tell large amounts of the story were condensed and omitted for the sake of an enjoyable anime experience. When making these adaptations it’s always a…

"It would leave a bad taste in my mouth."
‒ Ray Starling
You know what, Ray? This anime leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and you are one of the chief culprits. Infinite Dendrogram promises infinite possibilities, but instead we get Ray Starling, a piece of cardboard masquerading as a human being, a robot that gazes upon the world with an empty light in his eyes, an empty husk of a man who delivers the most generic lines imaginable.
"My battle's far from over. You can't stop my pace, my sword-wielding arm ‒ not yet. Not as long as I see tragedy before me ‒ tragedy and you!"
‒ Ray Starling
What next? He might as well say "Halt, you fiend! My blade shall thwart your evil plans!" because it would not surprise me anymore.
Ray is a typical hero to the extreme. He is so selfless and altruisti…
