Cuz his team always sucks and he went "raaahh" and carry everything? Cuz he hide his identity for no reason at all and get his friends killed? Cuz he's a dual-wielding, noob stomping, highest level, chick magnet, pretty face, rage-driven, lone wolf swordsman? I'm lost. Or is it because he wear edgy black outfit? EDIT: Don't mind my signature, I at least liked Sachi in SAO, the only realistic character in the show. |

EDIT: Don't mind my signature, I at least liked Sachi in SAO, the only realistic character in the show. I thought u like SAO and kirit cause u has him as your sig. Oh well, I like this kind of main character more than any others. He reminds me of Lelouch who uses brain to defeat the enemies and tackle problems. |
| Shiroe as the MC is a little bit boring, but when he enters that strategic mode of his (dark, wavy background), it's pretty interesting. I love how they dive into the classes and subclasses, something that I wanted SAO to do, but never did. The art is a bit bland and uncolourful in my opinion, it wasn't as nice as SAO. I'm not really finding the ninja cute or anything either. But the series is intersting, I'll continue with it. |
| assasin girl is very cuute <33 |
| I really like this show :) The MC is so cool. Plus, akatsuki is so cute ^_____^ And they're so informative about the game. I like this more than SAO. :P |
| There are obvious similarities between this and SAO; the fight scenes have the same mechanics and there's budding romance going on between Shiroe and (moe) Akatsuki. I don't think it's fully justified for people to say that the two series are entirely different. still going to love SAO more than LH though lol |
the irreplaceable one existed there~ |
| I can kind of see why the Kirito fans are saying that Shiroe doesn't live up to the "badass" MC. But I like Shiroe more this way, because he actually has flaws, inner issues, and he actually takes time to think of ways on how to maximum his team's skill. Of course, SAO has the upperhand in terms of character design and art but in this show, you actually see some more thought in the execution and plot. |
| I loved shiroe's character design... he looks so much like me XD |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |

That's why. Don't get me wrong i like Shiroe but not as much as Kirito, Why? Well because Shiroe is boring. I like smart MC's like Lelouch, I like Smart and Strong MC's like Izayoi. But something with Shiroe makes him boring, and tbh i don't like his glasses, if he had glasses like Jin and/or was as badass as Jin then i would've liked him. Or if he didn't glasses at all. And i don't like his class, i don't like the Support/ish mage if he was like a straight up attack mage like Rynet Lute without the alpha stigma then i would've probably liked him more than Kirito, but he isn't anything of the things i said. In other word. Shiro is not "the hero", "the big bread winner", "the one drench in spotlight". Thus he don't appeal to you as much Can't blame you though, as seen in all MMORPG, or even MOBA, support class are always the least popular, cuz everyone wants to be the hero, the big bread winner, the coolest bastard in the front line carrying his nooby teammates. I used to think that as well, back in the days. I thought that the hero are the winner, and anyone can play support cuz it's such a boring role. It isn't until I start playing support role in both MMORPG and Moba games, that I actually learn that the spotlights on the supposed "hero" are extremely deceiving... The support roles are very dynamic. Unlike the hero, who only need to focus on taking down target, the support are the ones keeping the whole team/party in check. Basically, the difference between the support and the hero are as below. HERO "I can do everything myself, the rest are holding me back, and I have to keep saving their asses when they're in trouble, I have to get us through this somehow, it's up to me" vs SUPPORT "I'll make sure we are always in the best position to achieve the best outcome, together, we will get through this." |

| im liking the characters, setting an music, this is my fav anime of the season so far |
 |
| Way better than SAO for the moment (it's not hard, though). I'm not really feeling the characters and their rather childish archetype, although I still think it lacks some tension, but I guess they can improve it a bit when the story starts developping a bit more. It's still a nice surprise for the moment though. |
| i am becoming interested with their old team debeauchery tea party, was naotsugu a member of debauchery tea party? |

I don't think it's fully justified for people to say that the two series are entirely different. still going to love SAO more than LH though lol Same mechanics? You mean the fact that both are MMOs? So far, fights have been completely different otherwise. SAO's were based on who had the higher levels/power ups/will power, LH's are about teamwork and strategy based on roles. Confused as to why you think the romance is a similarity as well. Log Horizon's hinted romance would be the result of Shiroe and Akatsuki's already established past working in parties together, and the fact that they are already so familiar with each other. The romance in SAO was a result of the psychological fear of never leaving the game and finding someone who you wanted to spend those last bits of your life with happily. I know it's easy to want to compare the two series because of how nearly identical their synopses are, but Log Horizon is a completely different series as it stands right now. |

| I started to like this anime :3 damn akatsuki is really cute seriously :3 and.. those PK players :3 nice nice strategy.. and those griffon in the end :3 what a suprise |

I can see that a bigger mystery will be painted in the future. It foreshadowed it already in this episode. |

LoneWolfRain said: HalfMetalJacket said: I'm not even concerned with the "SAO clone" accusations. This series shouldn't be criticized based on a comparison to SAO. If this were to do something similar to SAO (besides the in-game premise) but it does it better, that's a good thing.LoneWolfRain said: Mikenzb said: If it stays that way for the whole series there's going to be some huge issues with this show (making it worse than Sword Art Online).Oh you can die in this and respawn? thats no fun....

| Two big problems with this show. 1. The main characters acted like killing other players was extremely wrong, but they proceeded to kill other players just a few minutes later. I understand that they were acting in self defense, but I'm sure they could have avoided conflict if they had such a good scout. Huge double standard right there. 2. 450km isn't that far away. If we can assume that the griffins travel at a modest 25mph, that would convert to 40kmph. It would only take them 11.25 hours to make that journey. It would suck, but I've had to make drives that long when I needed to. This anime is up in the air at the moment. The main character noted this himself when he recognize that there isn't anything for him to do. This anime needs to provide a large quest worthy of devoting 25 episodes to or quickly change into a slice of life story that happens to take place in a game. |

They were kind of hypocritical... |
| I'm honestly not all that sure about this show yet. I want to say I like because all in all it seems like it will get good but I don't yet. So far this show seems too slow and dragged out with repeating the same things over and over while pulling the same slap stick jokes. I'm honestly surprised by how much I don't even like or care about the OP or ED (I've skipped them after the first time). Its very rare that I don't like the music in anime so its a bit odd for me. My other big complaint is that they're trying to push how "KAWII" Akatsuki is when shes really not all that in my opinion. I guess I'm being kinda unfair with this show considering I'm mostly comparing this show to SAO which isn't a fair comparison at this point. SAO = fast and epic Log Horizon = slow and methodical. I really hope this show picks up soon because dreary monologues and "strategy" (which everyone seems to be raving about but is nothing special at all and pretty pathetic/weak in terms of logic and sensibility) are not enough to keep me watching. Just so its clear: No, I am not a fan-boy and yes, I do like bad anime. |

| Great episode. I'm guessing the main plot of this would be the expansion pack they're talking about. I don't quite think the pacing is "slow", it's a 2 cour for that reason. Kudos to the creators for making Shiroe a support-class. |
| The Max Party Is 6 why dont they get some High Level Healer to help them on there Journey |
| I don't know guys, being suck into a game and being unable to die even if you wanted to (or go home) and having nothing to do (for now), while the food tastes like nothing? Looks like a fate way harsher then death. |

dend08 said: i am becoming interested with their old team debeauchery tea party, was naotsugu a member of debauchery tea party? yes i believe he was one of them. You can see Naotsugu (and that cat person) standing beside Shiroe and the rest of the members in the flashback of episode 1 Ignis_Scientia said: 5596050 said: I don't know guys, being suck into a game and being unable to die even if you wanted to (or go home) and having nothing to do (for now), while the food tastes like nothing?

| Damn now this is feels more like an MMO. Im seriously hooked!! I like the MC because he's not just good because of overpowered shit and stuff but because he has skills and damn Akatsuki!!! Cant resist her moeness O_O. And also explaining the PK mode and Class types was pretty interesting. Cant wait for more :D |
| Tch. |

This anime needs to provide a large quest worthy of devoting 25 episodes to or quickly change into a slice of life story that happens to take place in a game. Given the nature of the setting (MMORPG), it's unlikely that it's going to turn into slice-of-life... |
suphazza said: I still don't really like Akatsuki's character though, too moe. Yeah this. I feel like the main purpose of her existence in this show is to provide moe and cuteness to the audience. Kind of like Magi's Morgiana except Morg actually has a backstory and develops much more as a character. |
| What was wrong about the Crescent Moon Alliance going with a party of 6? Are they all not lvl 90? |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
