Watched the dub
Except for the usual anime bullshit here and there like the, oh I’m looking in to the future mechanic, Log Horizon is a very solid show I’m going too look back for a long time to come. Its up there with shows like Tensura and Shangri-la. This felt a little like Overlord if its main character cared about people a little bit more. This is what I wished the overlord show was honestly. Because the Adventurers acknowledge that they’re gamers. That’s how they think. that’s how they behave and that’s how they see the world. To see the show actively use that to its advantage is amazing. Rather than seeing people who magically transformed their mind and mental fortitude to another world, we see gamers and nerds in their element.
What I loved most about the show is how I rarely hated its characters. At first I didn’t really like some of the characters, especially the kids. But goddamn didn’t the show develop them and made me like them. Near then end I was genuinely rooting for them.
I also like how almost always when there’s something huge going down there’s always two parallel stories going on. This makes it possible for both of them to have slowly paced moments because then the other one would serve as the contrasting point of view to make me not bored.
