Log Horizon: Is it me, or is this anime getting more boring.

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 was bored, watched episode 1, still bored, made a ranty post hoping to get entertaining offended replies, I even summarized episode 1 (plenty of things to talk about), and I'm still bored...

C'mon, can't you try harder. Maybe find something specifically wrong in my statement to pick on?

PS - I've seen EVERY Isekai in existance. Now I've started watching Isekai's targeted towards women. Like that one where a girl got ran over by a truck (cliche, right?), and was Isekai'd as a princess in another world. Yay!

"-It was another Sword Art Online with a twist" this alone already explain everything,it should be "it is how sao should be",log horizon boring because it is not sao? it is not shiroe being op cool 1 hit everything with A1 budget animation and with mary sue heroine asuna?? it is not because everything is only about kirito/shiroe alone doing everything in the "isekai/game" world??

u know why MMORPG is loved by many but not for everyone? well just look at log horizon,thats what MMORPG is,u like it or not it have politics(guild,kingdom,faction etc) and then economy(from simple food to everything else),now its not "just a game" anymore,but real full fantasy world,with full real ppl,that "politics,economy etc" its slightly if not more complicated,whether they like it or not,they have to deal with it.

I don't care for the Mary Sue or instantly overpowered characters too. I didn't think Kirito (or whatever the main character from SAO) was overpowered from the start. Maybe you have never played old school MMORPG's from that time period. Everquest 1999 was like that, where the first person to 60 was nuts overpowered. I remember being part of an official Variant tournament and getting first place PvP player in the whole server. The company before Variant sold EQ to the Sony Corporation that ruined EQ. World of Warcraft came afterwards and they removed the ability for one player to become overpowered. They made everything soft core, removed penalties for dying, and made all high end gear extremely common and easy to get.

Accusing SAO of abusing overpowered Mary Sue characters while ignoring the fact that he grinded harder than anyone in the entire universe to level up faster and got ultra rare items that nobody else could obtain. This type of thinking is absurd! This is literally what I did on a new server on Everquest back in 1999. Had best gear in the game from rare spawn world bosses and could literally solo entire raids & guilds. You just can't relate...

However, LH is guilty of the same OP themes too. Why didn't they get all their levels reset? How are they not Mary Sue, instantly given max levels with best items and mounts in game? Isn't that the definition of Mary Sue Overpowered characters? They practically started in their new universe as Gods, or the most powerful beings in their immediate locations. From the very beginning of the LH within the first 5 minutes, they reveal the main character (of LH) has an item that no other character in the universe could possibly have. Over powered as fuck! Mary Sued for no reason at all. I'd claim that Log Horizon is more guilty of having Over Powered Mary Sue characters, because they instantly started the new universe with God abilities that nobody else could obtain. In addition, they don't seem to be working hard. They don't make sacrifices to get power. They just instantly get everything for free. It's basically every Mary Sue's backstory.

EDIT: When I played MMORPG's, I didn't spend majority of my time doing tradeskills, or doing politics. I spent most of my time adventuring, dungeon crawling, and getting better gear/drops. What game did you play where you spent less time fighting and more time as a politician?

Totally agree dude. With like almost everything. Guess we're nazi's ha. For not liking politics shoved into anime. Or like any other thing nowadays. Traps, gay's etc. Fine. But stop forcing it in everything. Really boring episode 1. Skipped like 3/4 of it. Seems it was the right decission. Waiting for more episodes to be released to see if the rating goes up. Otherwise I'm ditching this shit.

I remember MMO games being about fighting, adventuring, dungeons, hunting, fighting, raids, bosses, etc...

Log Horizon started with this stuff and it was entertaining to me. I just finished watching the first two episodes, and it was pure talking about politics. Literally lazy shits talking through two whole episodes doing absolutely nothing productive, unless you consider socializing as being productive. If I was injected into this world, then I wouldn't be sitting on my asshole all day long baking cakes. I would grind the fuck, level up, gather super rare items, etc... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT these fuckers were born into this world as MARY FUCKING SUES with everything GOD could ever wish for. They even have flying mounts that travel 10x faster than anyone elses mounts, and the other people have never even heard of a flying mount in their lives. The characters are so extremely overpowered that they don't need to even try. ( At least in SAO, the main character made the biggest sacrifice abandoning everything to level up and get resources as fast as he could. Usually working just 1% harder than your next competition has exponential results. )

The first MMOs had as much to do with social, economic and political issues and were about LIVING in a fantasy world, not a theme park like the current king WoW gives you. The premise was for a digital life where interactions mattered, choices mattered and you could live out your role playing fantasy. SAO isnt even the first, look all the way back at .hack. That was also a good deal about interactions and social things.

The issue of "It only costs around 25 gold a day to live in this world, and with it being so cheap why would these people try when they dont even want to be here?" is a wonderfully deep and insightful thing to look into. Dealing with people that dont have motivation, how the round table was violently opposed to just giving these players money and items, the way the merchants worked things out, dealing with the people of the land and the distinctly different existences they have from adventurers. If all you want is combat you can look at any other Shonen anime and get your fill. It is good to have shows look a little deeper and see how these issues might play out with more realistic people.

That was the feeling I got from the start and bits of it have been in most episodes, and I love it. Sorry if thats not for you, but as shared before theres dozens of shallow combat and harem anime to go watch.

Yeah I liked the first two season because it had a mix of the fighting, exploring and dungeon raiding with some of the politics and cultural stuff. So it what's fine with me to see a little bit of the world building politics and history, But then we would have something just a little more fun with him doing a dungeon raid or fighting guild's PVP style.

The first two episodes remind me of a manga where all you have are the characters sitting in a room with endless bubbles of dialogue...... Between watching these first two episodes and that popping in my head..... I might as well just read a book! I felt like I didn't even have to watch the anime I could have just had a fucking log horizon podcast playing and I wouldn't have missed any of the visuals.
Think about it, it was nothing but them sitting in cafes or pubs..... talking, sitting in guildhall's or mansions......talking, or standing in buildings and outside.......talking! For two fucking episodes and the third looks the same.

I'm going to keep giving this a chance because I did like the first two, and hopefully what we'll see is build up in the first two at most three episodes. Then after this stupid roundtable does fall apart we'll have Shiroe and them just say fuck it and go on an adventure or have some type of PVP civil war so we can finally get something happening.

On a side note, I never understood why the characters cared so much about all this political stuff and possible wars between the people of the land.
If it was me, I would go around raid dungeons and kill monsters. You make enough money that way and if you want more you can still take quests from nobles and villages or whatever. Why get so wrapped up in all there crap, didn't you play the game to get away from the real world bullshit and Make characters that are....ADVENTURES!!! Then I don't know hmmmmm maybe you could go on adventures and do whatever you want. and if any of the powers that be don't like it, y'all are basically GODS just fuck them up a bit.

If you're a merchant guild just be a fucking merchant guild, play by their rules just deal with it and know you have to live within this world's political system and maybe you have to start playing the politics game and get nobles on your side or become nobles or just be merchants and make a lot of money and do whatever you want.

And if you're a so-called RAID GUILD why aren't you doing any raids! besides the silver swords in season 2 I haven't seen any of these other guilds do anything! They've made themselves like police officers or something, if you're a guild that likes to fight you should sell yourself as mercenaries or go fight some fucking monster. Quit policing everyone else and worrying about them, it's not like anyone's going to die of starvation..... Cuz y'all can't die!

Sorry for the last two long posts, I guess I had to ramt a little bit too!

EXACTLY!!

I'm even tempted to recreate the entire two episodes with stills of them talking to each other. I could remake the entire two episodes myself because it's nothing but talking.

I bet the studio is making shit tons of money, by not making any action scenes. I've never played a MMO or heard of a MMO in my entire life where there was absolutely no action for this long of a period.

If this was suppose to reflect how humans would react, then it's a terrible interpretation, IMO(in my opinion). I don't believe people trapped in a game would instantly resort to rape, PvP, etc. In a MMO, Pvp is encouraged because there are no negative consequences. If people were trapped, then they would do less PvP because the negative reputation would destroy you in that life. There are so many flaws that I cannot take this as a serious representation of how humans would react (gamers instantly becoming bitches, pussies, thieves, murderers, rapists, slavers, and worse far too often and too soon) It would be too easy to gain a bad reputation as a PvP, rapist, slaver or worse; and that would destroy you in a game where real people live. How fucking hard is it for the lowbies/newbies to level up? All players should be max level by now. This is just pathetic that they are still low level. My toddler can level up faster than these retards. Also, don't mention how the veteran players all started at max level with OVER POWERED items with abilities that make them GODS. It's just lame that the newbies cannot go out of town without being raped by the OVER POWERED GODS. I have never choosen to play (I know they exist) on a PvP server where you get raped by a max level character just outside of the newbie town trying to farm exp on level 1 monsters. This doesn't feel like something that would normally happen if humans were trapped in a game. Griefing (killing level 1 players, in God mode) was fun because it didn't do any serious damage to the level 1 players. However, when you are trapped in a game, griefing would be a serious crime and would make you infamous where people would hunt you down just for the fuck of it. A griefer's life would be over the moment you get infamous. So, nobody would do that stuff in a game you are trapped in.

Other than your bad grammar (capitalize the first letter of a sentence and don't capitalize defeatist).

I believe you don't understand the definition of words:
Defeatist = a person who surrenders easily or is subject to defeatism.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/defeatist?s=t

Defeatism = the attitude, policy, or conduct of a person who admits, expects, or no longer resists defeat, as because of a conviction that further struggle or effort is futile; pessimistic resignation.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/defeatism

^--Being bored has nothing to do with being a quitter without ever trying. I literally watched the first two episodes, and they were boring. Just that.

I feel like it wasn't the problem of the plot nor lack of actions like fighting, but rather about execution of the narratives. What was so interesting about this anime was that Shiroe always had revolutionary plans that is backed up with logics and rules(inside the world of LH). But then, season 3 has absolutely none of that, not even fight. These strategies and tactics(in action, politics) are the selling point of LH and lack of those aspect makes it extremely boring. All we see is characters having conversation (not even about character development) or Shiroe thinking. What they should've done was put first three episodes into one episode to skip those boring conversations. Hopefully we can see some Shiroe being 300IQ moments in next episode or so

Ep 3 really hit me and actually made me cry when the princess was talking about krusty and if losing things doesn't hurt, then they weren't yours to begin with. I overall really enjoy this take on the isekai with the politics and the problems and how they deal with them so maybe you should just drop it now and move on to another different one.
i also enjoy the "filler music" quite alot

Yep exactly. It's the same thing with AOT. "Fans" keep complaining but still keep on watching. Drop the anime if you feel it's boring or trash. It's the same as how my right may not be your right. Everyone has their own preferences. Also, I feel anime community in general is going more toxic. Just saw a reply above making fun of someone's English. Do people realize English is NOT the only language in this entire world? It's mostly the secondary language for most parts of the world. People need to stop trashing others over stupid reasons. And if you don't like an anime, walk away from it. It still doesn't change the fact that all the scenes you just tried to trash, took effort to animate.

Also just realized I wrote it in a way that makes it feel I'm saying all this to Zoruf. This is intended for the OP.

Attack on Titan
Well, people don't understand how expensive it is to make good action scenes in anime. They obviously choose to use 3d to save money on their budget costs. I have never ever complained about the "bad" 3d animation of AoT. I felt that they did a great job. I even defended AoT when the toxic fans accused it of having bad 3d animation.

Log Horizon
I've only see the first two episodes and they didn't do any noticeable animations. It was just people talking to each other with still images. I'm sure they saved a ton of money on that production.

MMORPG
You guys like the politics of MMO's. Which MMO has politics as their main selling point? I've never heard of it.

The way you apply this statement is wrong. Imagine people using this for every change you dislike. Is criticism considered toxic to you? If you don't like "criticism" then you don't have to read it. Why don't you take your own advice?

To be fair, a lot of people have already dropped this anime for being boring/trash. You could say the exact same thing about SoA critics. Some stats:

Log Horizon S1: 433,155 users - 8.01 rating
Log Horizon S2: 257,771 users (40% decrease) - 7.63 rating
Log Horizon S3: 5,829 users (98% decrease from S2) - 7.44 rating
^--(LHs3 is very new, and will gain more users over time; but it's not looking good)

Just for a comparison
Sword Art Online: 1478273 users - 7.27 rating
Sword Art Online II: 906,783 users (39% decrease) - 6.81 rating
Sword Art Online Alicization: 330,786 users (64% decrease from SaoII) - 7.58 rating
Sword Art Online A-WoU S1: 220,185 users (33% decrease from SaoA) - 7.64 rating

Did you just assume that my first language is English? It's not, and you are just the type of bigot to assume things like that. I have clearly shown that I'm using dictionary.com, "copy and pasted" literaly definitions for the audience to read. I sometimes show you links to clarify my point. You should take your own advice and stop assuming people are 1st language English speaking. Also, for the record, I never assumed the other person @Zero11 is a first English language speaker. Would you feel better if I used Google translate to tell him the use of his "other language" words is completely incorrect?

I disagree. Making 3d animations take more effort to animate and they get trashed for being low effort. Making stills of people talking to each other is such low effort that even I could do it within a coupld hours. I don't consider a couple hours of work worth calling a lot of effort; especially when I could just make it myself using the exact same stills from the manga.

We should both "agree to disagree" on what constitutes effort to animate. However, I suspect, you are too arogant and bigoted to even do that.

Yeah i agree, it's getting boring, but i still like the show and the politics, because that's the twist of LH, the NPC is sentient being and like us. The problem i have is the direction of the episode is really bad, talking for whole 5 minute with no animation or b roll, just talking with annoying chara like that clown. They could improve it slightly by simply using illustration and not just people talking, like in S2.

I think I've spent an hour of my life watching that guy push his glasses up.

It's amazing how demonstrating someone is too stupid to get glasses that fit is somehow supposed to signify they're smart.

I wish I could give you a thumbs up. +5 points for being more entertaining than the latest two LH episodes!

You made me "burst out laughing" with that comment. It's like the most blood pumping moment. Slow motion, hands raising towards face, finger touches center of glasses, glasses go up, then back down, and that's all we have left for this episode. Stay tuned for next week, when we raise the stakes to a new level of impressive glasses up mode.

I love how everyone is crying about the show being boring. Reasons: lack of fights and political stuff. That is exactly what I love about Log Horizon....not just simple oh.....we are in a different world, lets not care about anything and just gear and lvl up. Like they don’t care about the world they are living in? Game worlds work different than real life world. Trying to get out from the world and make the world work somehow is what makes Log Horizon unique and fun to watch :) Go watch some shi**y shounen and don’t cry here if you want some action ;)

This walltext is more boring than the entire anime industry, it also seems that at any moment he grabs a gun and starts a mass shooting in a public place lmao

I liked the first two seasons also for the political stuff, but this new one is underwhelming. Too little useful content for three episodes; I would have found it acceptable in a visual novel, not in an anime.

As long as characters make long speeches, there will be less to animate: it's like this is all Studio Deen cares about.

I might have enjoyed it more if I were to rewatch the previous seasons, or maybe my taste changed and I won't like them as much as i did anymore. I'm not sure.

log horizon was always about the political stuff not sure what your complaining about.

the fights have always been the weakest part of log horizon.

Lol, with nothing but endless dialogue so far i agree. The visuals are just a waste of time. I could just read the LN and get way more info and go through the story faster and probably do better images with my imagination than what the animators can give me!

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.

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!

What game are you talking about? You said MMORPG with pen and paper.. What game is that?

I don't mean a game in specific,I mean more the interaction between both types of RPG ,that would be a dream. And Log Horizon is MMORPG by plot and the mechanics, but with the Apocalypse, the roleplay and interactions became something that matter, becoming a very roleplay Pen&paper,something that may be boring.
Think like this, you play D&D(Dungeons and Dragon) and the DM(Dungeon Master), after a while begin to give more world building and more roleplay. That's what Log Horizon is doing now.And I would love to play a campaign like this.
My other point is how you would think the series would be with Krusty as MC? Would be battle heavy, but story would be somewhat just another knight story.
This is how I interpret Log Horizon can be boring or incredible, in the eyes of each person.

I really liked S1 and S2 for great world building with mix of political, rpg and some drama/mystery stuff

But holy fuck. These 3 episodes of S3 felt like it could be shrunk to one episode. Ultra boring, ton of talk, 0 animation, 0 actions, plot in ep3 is still in same point as in ep1. If next two eps will be like that Im goin to drop it... Im really dissappointed :(

It's probably just you and others comparing this to SAO and being disappointed there isn't enough action scenes.
It's not what LH is mainly about so you set up your own expectations too high then become disappointed when the anime didn't reach your expectations.

After all these years I forgot about most of the political stuff in Log Horizon. Up to episode 3 and I find this pretty meh so far maybe for that reason. It does not seem much like a game world over a basic fantasy by now.
