Log Horizon
| Honestly, the political part of the show is the highlight for me. Akiba, Westelande, the Free Cities and all the stuff between them, the round table and so on is really fun to see and I am enjoying S3 quite a lot for now. |

| In all honesty(not the guild) I am actually surprised people are still complaining about it being boring. This series has already long established itself that is not action packed or has so many grandiose scenarios occuring despite being an isekai, the political angle was always its main area of focus as well as its strong world building and characther development and diversity. People who either want more action, hijinks or comedic moments really should of dropped this series by now. I have been enjoying it rather immensly. Also the fact that it is hard to keep up with the story i will agree that 5 years is a long time to catch up and even more with so many characthers to follow but you had over a year to try and catch up to the story before this aired and as for the former, again you should of expected this series takes it slow and is not action packed. I feel like this is getting a little to harsh in critiscm especially now that so many other titles of the genre have come out and people are comparing this to them, you got to give it mroe credit. |

Like I could agree with you that this is not an action-packed anime, I personally have no real problems with dialogue-heavy plots. That said I still do find this anime quite boring.. not because there is not enough action, it is more like I couldn't care less about the characters and the world. I watched both previous seasons while it was airing and that is quite some time ago mind you, it never was anything too good but I enjoyed it nevertheless. And I had like 0 expectations coming to this season yet I am still let down a bit. It might be that I don't remember the whole plot that well, and it also might be that the characters and the world arent that interesting in the first place. |
| Are people skip the first 2 season of Log Horizon??? Log Horizon was always about World Building, Political moves, Character Interactions... Ahh i see you you just didn't like the Political aspect, Economy, Guild, You think MMO just Dungeon, Fighting Monster, Grinding... That's because you are still playing the game,and not live in the Game World... That's completely different things... Ohh it's unfortunately that this is Boring for you... But all of your complain was the reason that i like Log Horizon in the first place... |

Yeah definitely Log Horizon was focused more about World Building, Political moves, Character Interactions rather than Action Fantasy fighting Demon Lord that want to destroyed the World, something like that... I feel like it's too late now to complain about it now in Season 3, like what are you doing after watching 50+episodes |

charliechuckle said: I'm not going to waste my time watching the third episode. If everyone says it's the same thing, then I'll wait till it has a English Dubb. That way I can watch/listen to it like a podcast. For those who were rational with me, thanks for the entertainment. I'm out! I'm not sure why you wanna wait the English Dub, when you saying is Boring... Like the dub is gonna change anything at all... Also it's funny when we are on Season 3, but you coming out complaining about the Political aspect... It's always been Political from the beginning... |

Yugesai said: Another Sword Art Online? Are you out of your mind people? If we are going to go back that much then we can use /hack as the primordial ancestor of the isekai Sword Art Online genre. Hell, even the Matrix and Ghost In the Shell can be considered the founding fathers of that genre. We can go even further beyond into cyberpunk literature etc etc. SAO is not the median that everything has to be compared to just because of it's popularity among brainless 9 year old kids. The simple fact is that the novelty of the genre wore off and you people forgot the real value of Log Horizon. If you are watching this season, it means you already spent 50 whole episodes on this show and still don't recognize the value? I believe you have simply forgotten about it because of the 4 year time gap and got too used to short burst 12 episode heroine isekai shows. Or it could simply be that you grew out of the genre and fad and got a more specialized niche taste. Coming back to this show it is as if nothing has changed, we continue where we left off. True LH fans can appreciate that. Yeahh right, complaining about the Political aspect after watching 50 episodes... That's funny |

charliechuckle said: I'm with you in the yuri, yaoi, LGBTQIA stuff as even I hate them. I do get that it is getting slightly boring, but this is just the first episode. Wait till episode 4 and then decide to stay or leave. That's my rule every single time.First of all, let me explain why I loved LH (Log Horizon): -It was another Sword Art Online with a twist -It was an Isekai -It was about video games -It used actual common sense MMO game strategy (did not abuse dues machina too much) -It did not overly use the Harem/porn themes that make me cringe (it stays grounded in reality) ^^-- I'm assuming the current fans of this show pretty much hate my niche tastes in anime. I've been told countless times by the sheeple that SAO was the worst and most boring show in existence. I have given up trying to explain to the sheeple why SAO was the most popular anime at the time. The sheeple will ignore that fact, because it doesn't agree with their narrative. I have even been called a racist nazi, because I don't like watching trans, gay(yuri), beastiality(human animal sex), LGBTQIA, or even some overly straight porn content in anime. I don't like how sex is overly injected into everything (music, tv, movies). I don't care for it. In a nutshell, I am what I am, I like what I like, and I will never cater to the masses. ^^--Why LG making me bored? I am annoyed by the political arcs that have almost nothing to do with video games. They are overly boring to me. So fucking what if you don't want to be part of the "round table" or some alliance. I do not enjoy the "slice of life" moments. RANTING, just skip the pink stuff --There is a general saying, "Women just want you to listen to them. They do not want you to solve their problems." I've had so many women tell me this, that I believe it is a fact attributed to women alone. Anyways, that's how I feel they are treating this world. It's a "slice of life" and nobody gives a fuck about solving any problems. It's more about listening to their problems. This anime has become so warped that I don't even know what they are trying to do. They have no ambition, no goal, and it's just a bunch of whining bitches. I get enough of that from my female friends. They have literally told me to not interrupt them while they talk non-stop for 30 minutes at times. Not even exaggerating here, they get crazy angry when I interrupt. I am like their personal psychiatrist. I listen to their problems, and give them no solutions as requested. (They tell me stories about how their boyfriends treat them like shit, but they like the BBD and I listen. I do understand them being selfish. If a man had the choice to have sex with a super hot model, but the model treated them like shit. Well, I'd still volunteer to have sex with that model. Stories like that.) --Episode 1 part 1 = round table is breaking up = boring, don't care part 2 = female problems, arranged marriage = boring, don't care (look, if a bitch wanted you to solve her problems, then she would ask you to. Obviously she just wants to whine and complain.) part 3 = good food = profit, getting old = boring, don't care anymore part 4 = is that a trap in that dudes armor? LGBT joke gets old fast = boring, don't care anymore part 5 = scene with princess, maids, and mothers talking about nothing. Slice of life = boring part 6 = more talk, too many characters to keep track of without a chart. Introducing new locations, new irrelevant information that doesn't matter. Ugh, and of coarse doing nothing about it. BORING! part 7 = Chocolatey latte, power of femininity goes up, more female problems, plenty of cringe SAO-like love scenes. part 8 = more talk about infrastructure, and politics = BORING part 9 = trap comes out of Shiroe?'s shirt. This anime is so fucking boring that a trap coming out of a dude's shirt is the most exiting thing about a show. part 10 = No idea why everyone is shocked that a Duke was announced, and the round table is dissolved. Don't care = BORING!! Perhaps they are trying to lower our expectations for when something does actually happen? |
 |
| i dunno to me its getting more fun as its getting more into the political / worldbuilding side. Hopefully we get some combat etc soon but so far i loved all 3 episodes! |
| It's not for everyone, but personally I really enjoy the 'boring' aspects. They just need to make sure it's kept balanced with enough splashes of humour and interesting character development along the way. |
| i barely remember anything (characters, places, politics, game mechanics, etc) from the previous seasons (which is over 6 years ago) and now they kept adding characters into the increasingly dominant political theme.. ep03 is the furthest i can tolerate before dropping it |

ItsBritneyBitch said: the show has had such long gaps in-between that fans are having to rebuild intrigue into wth is going on again. i was a big fan of it but i dont know whats going on and these episodes dont make me care to rebuild that intrigue i once had. than you people are just lazy, 6 years it took so long for it to air. it was annouced over a year ago? and in all that time you never had a chance to just rewatch another 50 episodes? especially we live in era where shows are literally being binged watched these days. I am fking laughing people are hating it cause of the long wait period and are to lazy to rewatch it, if that is your excuse, than it is very poor and it is just lazy, other alternative, you still could of waited to rewatch it later and than check this one out. LOL, Laziness and pre judgement is so prevalent on mal this days it is hysterical. |

YOU might have the time because your lazy but I dont have the time to watch 50episodes lmaooo. for over 365 year yeah right and like i said you could waited to watch it later when u catch up and than see it, this is on you. |
| Its getting boring, I agree. Some weird unnecessary long speech scenes with generic hype BGM. Politics?! When LH began it was mostly about discovering and adapting fast (which is worthy of that BGM). Now its rather mundane. You could easily scratch off 'game' and 'adventure' genres. However... its my personal view. There surely is an audience for whom this pacing and slice of life chat is fun to watch. I might watch the 5th episode, but I suspect this 3rd season will go to the on-hold list... :/ Ultimately, the show wont stop or change because of any comments xD |
| you are bored because you have deluded yourself into thinking that LH is a trashy isekai when it's really been about politics the entire time lol |
 |
| yeah it's kinda boring |
 |
| The major proiblem we have is that more and more people really strongly confuse personal preferences with actual criticism. Criticism is like calling them out that there animation has a lot of errors/ strange body proportions, that the atmosphere and soundtrack do not fit together (although this is more a subjective matter/personal preference), that the voice acting is not fitting for character x (especially when the mood/ characterisation is way different then the character is played by the voice actor). The other way around is also positive criticism like the animation is properly smooth with only minor errors. The soundtrack and atmosphere are going hand in hand with each other,... I dislike the direction the plot is going is not a criticism at all. I dislike the dialogue of the characters, I dislike how the characters do look like, ... These are subjective personal preferences and they will split into many different minded people. |

| Well, I'd make a more elaborate response, but considering you said you don't watch anime with LGBTQ themes, I won't waste my time on you. We see straight couples and romantic stories on series and movies all the time and it doesn't make it less interesting. So, what's the difference to watch some show with LGBTQ themes? It doesn't make a difference. If I can watch a show with straight couples as a gay man, you can watch a show with a gay/lesbian couple. It's not the sexuality, but the story that matters. I'm sick of people like you using the same excuse over and over as if it's justifiable. If you don't want to watch it, go ahead: just admit your own homophobia. Don't make elaborate excuses. And, by the way, it takes intelligence to appreciate a show such as Log Horizon. It's about the logic and the strategy to get what you want as a leader (and, yes, that involves politics). An idiot like you wouldn't appreciate anyway. Well, at least, there are not LGBTQ references in Log Horizon after all, because that would've creeped you out. |

MichaelJackson said: log horizon was always boring facts....it only got mildy popular because all the sheeps in the anime community needed something to compare to sao. Majority of the people who claim to enjoy this show only watched it because they were told to, it's part of the 2 steps of hating on sao, first you claim an anime with a huge budget and popularity in the country it was made to be consumed in is the worst ever to be made....ever and then you bring up log horizon as a better alternative, which is a pretty standard MMORPG Isekai anime with no similarities to sao other than its starting premise. |
 |
| Log Horizon has always been accused of being boring, particularly while airing. I don't see why anyone would think this third season would be any different. The show's always been best binge-watched; both so that you can skip through any overly expository sections and because the action/tension and intrigue ratios are balanced over entire arcs rather than specific episodes. |
Absolutely agree Log horizon is trash |
 |
| This thread was presented to you by the same exact people who rate Log Horizon Season 1 10/10 and Season 2 9/10.... |
|
| monke brains I tell you |
 |
| Oh no, an isekai that's actually clever and that deals with politics and economics instead of having a kirito-like MC who's overpowered and who's gathering preys for his harem |
| Not gonna lie, compared to even 2nd season it is not really most interesiting show to watch... It's a shame though, had some potential at first... |
| I do really like this season. It is refreshing to see a trapped into a visual game world (do not confuse to a real isekai) more focused on politics, social boundaries, the living inside a society based on different world aspects. Also the need to reform the round table to get the people from the land more involved and their own interests represented, is really amazing done. Even though they are programmed npcs, they are really well structured AIs. You cannot even compare SAO with LH, they are both completely different ways to present a trapped into a game world scenario. We still do not know about their real bodies in the real world of LH. |

Ah dude in case if u have not understood it by now. They dont have bodies back in the real world in log horizon, the game they played was your standard pc MMORPG like warcraft, they got both body and soul teleported to the world of log horizon and that is how there bodies and soul basically merged with there game avatars. XD |
