This Avatar, the DTL is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.

Good name ( good title ) , not a fan of the OT in itself.
I'd started it long before, and now it's time to get back to the
DATABASE DATABASE
Log Horizon 2-3
Things are still very exposition-heavy, but I like the writing here a lot, even moreso than in Maoyuu. Since the world of the show is finding its equilibrium after everybody's suddenly dropped inside it, plenty of interesting stuff is going on. And I feel like we tend to get just as much as we need at any time, and not more. Individual moves sometimes feel a little overexplained, but I like how the monster summoning whistles are introduced by referencing some apparently difficult raid where they're acquired.
The way PKers have been represented so far also shows a pretty keen understanding of how MMO/online communities actually operate. People are acting out because they're bored living in a world where you can only adventure, and the lack of real consequences makes it easy to rationalize. But people can't log out and do something else, so it creates a very different dynamic where low-level players really need to be protected. It's like the "good old days" of Ultima Online.
Episode 2 seemed to establish a theme for the show beyond the "trapped in a game" premise: In a world where it's easy for people to get by in life, how do they find a purpose for living? It feels like Shiroe's decided he wants to dedicate himself to building a stable, safe society inside Elder Tale, and I look forward to seeing how he does it.
That thorn trap spell is absurd if it binds movement as well as buffs damage.

I agree but I don't think it's something that most people read once the thread is around 4-5 pages or so deep.

DTL is testing the waters for us. What a scientific trooper. He's seeing how far avatars can go. I mean we already had the guy with the really perverted jibril face now this.

Yay, keep us posted. I love Log Horizon's world/lore/mechanics. Yeah, Thorn Bind Hostage is pretty crazy strong. Also never seen that gif before. Saved.
Oh god, the way Tamura Yukari says "master". HNNNNNG.
Pretty sure he's had worse.

If the starting point is bad , you goes nowhere , Just look at what became of tha mahouka OT
It's good to poke fun at a franchise , but when you do it too much , you only gather one kind of people in those threads.
And something tells me given what will happen in S2 that they won't have the trainwreck they all expect.

It was forgotten because I needed to forget it. And I meant it with the new moderating.

My post is the best out of all of those.
I despite Mahouka OT's, but that BGBW's OP is great and not necessarily ill spirited.

Have a pleasant birthday Hattori.
The avatar waters have been tested many times before. Funnily enough some consider just having an anime avatar as pushing it too far.
Speaking of avatars, you should have provided avatar versions of the awesome ports in your SAO II thread. lol

I think I understand your point. I just try to ignore that kind of hyperbole when possible. If it comes to the worst you can always post your episode impressions here and leave the SAO OT for them even though that's less than ideal.

I like playing the Spot-Which-GAFfer's-Avatar-is-a-Cropped-Image-from-Hentai-Doujinshi game.
He has the worst pairing in Free though.
Also happy bbbirthday I guess. I don't check the thread much so I usually miss them.
Happy Birthday Hattori.

Haha, the return of BGBW's drawings.
Good timing! Haha.
Yeah, I missed a bunch from this last thread. Maybe I can keep more up to date with the next one.

But its the best and most canon one. Thankfully even with Sosuke, rinhari is going strong while sosuke is barely getting traction with others.
To defend myself on the matter, I followed the layout of previous anime OPs and made sure to include all necessary information. I made it fun but kept it straight. It is the second series so the thread will automatically attract those familiar with the show already so they likely have formed an opinion about SAO without reading the OP. Any cheeky digs I've made require knowledge of the show anyway so they'll likely go over the head of most new comers. Also most of the information is written in a positive way.
Also those who stick to the OT likely will be fans of the show. The previous SAO had a jokey OP and that didn't stop it being a place to discuss the show outside of this thread.
If people have a request I could provide them.

I don't! It's a fun conversation starter. I have fond memories of telling a fellow gaffer that a Yui avatar he was curious about in one of the K-On! OTs was from a Yui x Azusa futanari doujinshi.

I dunno about this episode title. Isaac and Miria clearly seemed intent on making Eve, Jaccuzi, and Ennis happy in this episode. You gotta love how seriously they make their exits, lol.
Man, I can only imagine how many theories were being swapped around when this show was airing for those who didn't read the LN.

Just show that the Rail Tracer is Dallas already! I mean, he's involved with the immortality elixir business, taking an incomplete version for that matter in 1930. The Pussywagon incident happened in 1931, and nobody seems to know where this guy is in 1932.
The Rail Tracer is devouring people. It HAS to be Dallas.

A world bound by rules. And yet people (or... mostly creatures and gods I guess) are still trying to cheat.
