Am I the only one who wishes people would stop making "trapped in an MMORPG" shows and make more pure fantasy (Magic, Dragons, etc.) shows :/ Like what's the last really good fantasy cartoon from either side of the Pacific? I guess Adventure Time but I'm talking more in the line of Record of the Lodoss War or Slayers (with perhaps a more serious tone).

The talking scenes are the best part! Look at episode 11 and 16!

I think that requires hindsight to really say/feel.

Episode X - WORDS WORDS WORDS
Episode X + 5 - OMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE

I will look back on Episode Xs better knowing how it pays off but at the time but when you're going in fresh that's a different story.

Log horizon has a pirate Cat, your arguement is invalad

Otomedius Excellent has Neko-Sencho, a SKY PIRATE CAT GIRL IN A BIKINI.

Beat that.

[foxuzamaki]

That's because this isn't like SAO, where they are stuck with a Virtual Boy on their heads. They woke up, and the game world IS the real world. There are no real bodies or loved ones.

But they do, they very clearly state that there is a real world and that they have loved ones, a couple episodes ago crusty stated that he has a cat .

Spoiler

There is a "real world" but its not really established that there are still bodies there and its growing more obvious the world they are in now is more than just an MMO

Spoiler

You might be on to somethings, its probably why nothing its been established on how the game looks like or if their bodies are still there, Personally I think whoever did this is expecting them to die casually so many times that they forget that they were part of a real world and just accept that the MMO is where they've always been.

"There are 2 types of men in this world! Open perverts who admit it, & closet perverts who don't! I am the former!"

I already like the characters....though damn it, Crunchyroll. I don't know if it's my internet or your video player, but it takes FOREVER for the video to buffer, even on 480p....might have to give in & try for SD like I did with Medaka Box (though that was my only free option for some reason. Not sure why 1080p is free for Log Horizon).

Edit: "Whether you're an open pervert or not, let's get along!" Oh Naotsugu, you're already making the series worth watching.

 

[MikeMyers]

 

[Man God]

Did...Did I just see a

happy ending

to an episode of Casshern?

 

[Zonic]

"You can't be an open pervert or a closet one because....you're not a man!"

This guy....I hope he's on par in being one of the funnier perv characters in anime.

Half-way in & this is already interesting. It's moving at a much better pace in adapting to the fact they're trapped & dives into some overlooked stuff like what food would taste like, having to adjust to a different body, & such.

Edit: So they're already familiar with the game, but an expansion just came out, meaning stuff like monster stats, areas, and such could have changed? Again, that's an interesting aspect, since it's less about learning about the game and more of adapting to change.

did we ever collect SAO reactions?

Episode 8 of Casshern Sins:

Spoiler

Two happy endings

in Casshern in a row?

I call shenanigans.

 

[Seda]

did we ever collect SAO reactions?

Nope.

Usually I'm only a little amused all the reactions, and a little off-put by the show. Yesterday I couldn't help but burst into laughter several times. It might have been the best batch of reactions yet.

 

[BassForever]

Nope.

[foxuzamaki]

I burst out with laughter aswell, so ridiculous.
just watched episode 19 of log horizon
it was pretty good guys.

Nope.

Usually I'm only a little amused all the reactions, and a little off-put by the show. Yesterday I couldn't help but burst into laughter several times. It might have been the best batch of reactions yet.

The faces I made while watching the show and the faces I made reading the comments gave me emotional whiplash. People should be able to go from horrified to laughter and back again that quickly.

 

[Man God]

I'm glad my cold finally ended last night as all the laughing would have sent me into fits if it had been a day or two before.

 

[Zonic]

I didn't collect them, but I linked to the start of when we discussed the episode. Seriously, they're worth a laugh re-reading.

But we need to know how Asuna and Kirito will kiss in real life! =P

Log Horizon ep. 2: What's this? CLASSES? SUB-CLASSES? ABILITIES? STRATEGIES? TEAMWORK?! WUUUUUUUUT

Seriously, it's amazing how this one episode shows that the original creator at least ATTEMPTED to grasp what happens in a MMO and did their research (I heard they actually played a MMO, which doesn't surprise me). I feel like I've learned more about Elder Tale and its mechanics in two episodes then in SAO.

Also, fun fact, a pic of Man with a Mission, the band that did the OP:

 

[Seda]

Ugh

Ugh

Welp

Oh my god...he's straight up molesting her

'Its okay Kirito'

Man....

This is so terribly fucked up right now.

Wow, I guess tears really are delicious.

BRB shooting myself....in the face.

He just licked her. Fucking licking her.

WHY DEAR SWEET LORD JESUS CHRIST WHY WHY DOES THIS EXIST WHO GREENLIT THIS FUCK THIS SHOW FUCK THIS SHOW FUCK EVERYONE WHO EVER LIKED IT FUCK FUCK FUCK

OH MY GOD

"Are you giving up?"

Yes game, I am definitely going to give up now.

Are you giving up?

Will you just sit back while he licks yo girl up.

Ugh, that was physically repulsive. I think I'm a little sick after watching that sequence.

women of toonami sure are tough

Someone, somewhere right now:

Oh my fucking god....we aren't even half over yet...

yes, i fucking give up!

Jesus fucking christ.


Yes, I am close to giving up!

Well I guess this is my first and last episode I see of this. Holy shit.

"Why is this happening? Am I being punished......"

My thoughts

I cannot go on living, you guys. This is so insanely stupid.

THIS IS TERRIBLE
THIS IS TERRIBLE
THIS IS TERRIBLE

this is fucking garbage

Can't breathe LOL

I need to get this out of the way, before Kirito gets the resolve needed to save his girl.
As I can no longer defend this show as much as I have before.

My head hurts.
This has fans, this has lots and lots of fans who are excited for a god damn sequel anime and expecting the 14th book in the series.

MEGA HAX OF LOVE.


NOT

ENOUGH




TABLES








FUUUUUUUCK THIS SHOW!

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TORMENT IN THE WORLD TO INFLICT ON THE EVIL MINDS WHO CREATED SWORD ART ONLINE!

Explain this shit lazybones!

this is like some specialised circle of hell

This show...this goddamn show. FML.

What the fuck did we do to deserve this shit?

I can't fucking wait to see what kind of shitty ass pull superpower Kirito gets to save the day.

Fuck this show.

Someone please put me out of my misery.

Guys, I'm traumatized.

This was not the best time to be on skype with my girlfriend

I like that I expected things to be a mite bit rape-y and SAO decided to go for ACTUAL RAPE. Truly going above and beyond the call of duty.

ToonamiGAF at the moment:

This show has certainly been an experience, jesus christ

The fuck is this shit now?

Back to the rape lair...

WHY

Get the fuck outta here.

Wait a minute...is he getting a pep talk from the last bad guy?!!?

Oh the show is depicting the mass murderer as a hero again.

INSPIRING SPEECH FROM THE VILLAIN

And Mr. Genocide is the one who gives him the pep talk? HAHAHAHAHA...priceless.

Why are they still portraying that mass murdering fuck as sympathetic while this wannabe rapist is being portrayed as Hitler?

"If you want to be a mass-murderer like me, here's another virtual murder weapon"

mass murder wasn't such a bad guy after all

I mean he only killed people. It's not like he smelled a girl's hair or something

YUI YOU ARE NOT EVEN REAL

This is all incredibly stupid.

DADDY~

Mass Murder dude is actually a great guy. SAO logic.

A mass murderer portrayed as a hero. Kirito brutally destroyed a guy and is presented as a hero. LOL.

"It's over. I fucking tortured a guy to death and then put my face in some recently molested breasts."

Yui - "I'm in your Nerve Gear so I'll always be around"

Man, I fell asleep during Space Dandy and missed Toonami entirely. Too bad because SAO sounds like it was legendary.

I'm about to go watch for myself.

Edit: Kirito is so mad the game isn't finished that Asuna becomes a second priority. Ohhhhhh, we're off to a great start.
