    I mean, the entire point of the majority of Season 1 was to show the fact that NPCs are no longer just NPCs. They are, ostensibly, normal-ass people.
    That's the thing. We have nooooooooooo clue. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it. But it's just kinda confusing at this point where the RL aspect matters, if at all. Also yeah, that main chick that he kept remembering. They did her a disjustice with the way she looks. Everyone else looks more or less the same and the animation is so far close enough to what it was before.

    Yeah I thought it was me. She looks pretty different.

    You're right. Most the older females did actually. Her and the chick with the glasses both looked different.

    Liked the new epi, hope the season will keep up this pace and won't fall on filler-like stuff like the first.

    I'm generally not an anime fan (stumbled onto No Game No Life and have been poking around other series since) and certainly don't care about "SAO fan service"; I just don't enjoy Log Horizon that much. The MMO mechanics are obviously much better in LH, but the plot setup, real death anxiety, and battles from SAO's first arc were just more appealing to me. The first season of LH was like half attending balls, planning festivals, beach parties, etc. Maybe I'm crazy. SAO's second arc was not the greatest; just something about the first arc really resonated with me.

    Most people like the first arc of SAO, that's not where the problem with the show lies for the most part.

    First 13-14 were pretty amazing for SAO. I still enjoy it but it's a different show.

    Episode was sweet. I (probably we) am biased, but I like how they put so much detail into describing how the raid mechanics in the game worked. It reminded me how much detail they put into Krusty's strat against the goblin king last season.

  11. #171

    Would've been nice if they cut out some of the time fighting slimes or watching Demi-glace be emo in favor of more of the boss encounter (especially the 2nd one), but I guess we get what we get.

    Except 1/2 the episode was Demi-glance doing wyvern kick. And him beating the shit out of rocks.

    I wouldn't go that far. Episode was pretty good, with them not just going over basic MMO raid mechanics, but also specifically how they (in the world of Log Horizon) were tackling the raid and problems.

    If you don't like MMOs, video games, or character development, I can start to see how this anime is pretty boring.

    I think the first two episodes of this season have been a massive improvement over the first season. SAO's latest episode also cut a bunch of filler crap and was pretty solid. I'd be happy if both continue to trend upwards.

    I did enjoy the episode. But the 2nd raid boss was 5 seconds of screen time and the first boss you only saw them really take it to 90% and then it died. At least tell me what the loot was! I saw massive chests and we don't even know if it was just mats or if there were raid weapons as well . I have no issues with the explanation stuff. Just the Demikas stuff is annoying.

    Delicious scenes are great. Especially the flashbacks to the original fight and taunting.

    Oh wow, that ending.
    That was an interesting episode. At first I was annoyed as it started as if was going to be a filler. I enjoyed the Akatsuki stuff, but also wanted something about it to happen in the episode already. And then bam the alley fight

    None of this is filler. Akatsuki and the alley killer is all volume 6.

    And next episode is Soujiro's overskill (don't know why CR is translating it as The Teachings).

    Because it's CR. Their translations have improved, but they still make mistakes and localize some translations.

    Really liking the 2nd season so far though. Seen some people complain about the changes DEEN made with the animation, but it hasn't bothered me too much. Looking forward to next week's episode.

    I'm trying not to complain too hard about the animation quality because it is what it is, but there are times where the dip in quality is pretty noticeable.


    Was the reason between Nyanta meeting with Roderick explained in some earlier episode or season 1?
