Look, Log Horizon is a great anime. I cannot add any more to what has already been said by those who are praising it, because honestly, I’d do the same. But what needs to be said has already been said. So what the hell am I here for? To rant about one aspect (call me crazy and overdramatic) that needs to be voiced.
*Inhale*
*BEEP* romance! *BEEP* it right in the *BOOP*!
How many times have I watched an anime where they shoehorned a piece of shite relationship they call “romance” and expect me to nod my head and let it pass on through? No! I’m sick of it! I’m sick of people adding romance into an anime when it’s not needed! What the hell is the point of adding romance into Log Horizon? Tell me! Is the writer catering to the female audience or something? Or do guys actually enjoy reading about love triangles too? Because I sure as hell am sick of it! If I wanted to watch romance, I’d go watch a damn shoujo or something labeled as “romance”.
But when romance is added into my shounen, I get sick of it!
Look, maybe I’m making the wrong impression here. I don’t mind romance. I mind horribly done romance. And I’m not talking about Shiroe and Akatsuki (even though I’m also sick of the loli-fetish but that’s another rant for another day). By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm getting sick of a lot of things these days.
WARNING! THIS IS WHERE THE SPOILER IS! IT’S ABOUT THE ROMANCE IN LOG HORIZON (OBVIOUSLY) SO IF YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT SHITE, THEN READ ON IF YOU MUST!
What the hell was the point of having Minori fall for Shiroe? Huh? Someone tell me! Oooo, now there’s tension between Minori, Akatsuki, and Shiroe! How interesting!
NO! That shite was boring as hell and completely unnecessary! Seriously? Shiroe was a teacher figure to Minori, a big brother figure. But no, she ends up falling for him? Wha? Why? How? But most of all WHY? The creator(s) better have a damn good reason for having this stupid love triangle pop out of nowhere from Log Horizon’s ass!
Some of you may say I’m making a big deal out of this, but believe me, these little "details" matter too. Of course, I will give Log Horizon 2 a chance once it’s finished. But I swear, if that *BEEP*ing love triangle is shoved into my face again, I’m going to go super saiyan and choke whoever thought it was a good idea to add a love triangle into this series in the first place!
