Log horizon is better plot wise, SAO is better action wise. SAO2 was better than SAO 2 and while I enjoyed SAO 2 to say its "way" better than log horizon means you only care about action and not about actual plot.
I'll take Log Horizon generally over SAO any day, but come on, Toya's storyline with Nureha is the only one remotely good from the last episodes. And the only youngster who does not suck.

SAO 2 had Shinon and Yuki (and her guild), who individually were tons better than Serara, Isuzu, Rudy, and Minori combined.

I wasn't sure what Isuzu was crying for after the concert. Was it because the People of the Land were unfortunate enough to be unable to create new songs beyond the existing 42?

I take it Elder Tale had 42 significant theme songs, as opposed to 42 bgm files in total. The Maplestory soundtrack I have stored on my computer contains over 400 bgm tracks. 42 would be way too few, especially for a large game like Elder Tale.

You know what would be a great plot twist on this show?

Nyanta is actually spying for Nureha's guild all along and he is just pretending to be part of Log Horizon.

Nureha will have the group killed again and again with the portable cathedrals and once they lose their sanity she will return them to Shiro so that she can hurt Shiro mentally.

All the happy themes of log horizon will then go down the drain and Shiro is gonna become ruthless to have his revenge on Nureha.
O_O That would be very dark

Hmmm, the main plot of LH is good, the issue is that's not what we focus on.
Instead we get mostly stories about how akatsuki need to believe in herself and make friends, how serara learned to cook and why, and all that boring stuff about boring characters...
So when you take all of that into consideration, no, SAO was way better plot wise.
(and I am not one to usually dislike side plot stuff, or even episodes focusing on characters' lives, it's just in LH apart from Shiroe and Crusty, there are very few characters worth 5 minutes... TOTAL, yet they get more than that per episode)

Very interesting episode! I always thought it was weird how the people of the land praised Isuzu so much even though her music wasn't a big deal but now it all makes sense! Only 42 songs? That's sounds terrible, but it's an adequate number of tracks for a video game soundtrack.

I loved all the Rudy and Isuzu scenes. They're my favorite couple, you know, two people how care for each other but are from very different worlds and sometimes can't even understand one another.

Also I didn't quite grasp the intent after Touya's conversation with that lady. He likes her, apparently, but at the same time he thinks she tries too hard? Idk.

Honestly, I've thought of dropping this series a couple of times, but there's always something that makes me come back for more. Obviously, the terrible animation isn't one of them.

Why destroy it?


Because it's blocking telepathic communication.

Also, there is a very real danger that one of those things might be the closest cathedral to the kids when/if one of them dies, and that they will be resurrected through it into one of those creepy soulless things. At the least, they need to put some distance between it and them.

Such a boring episode nothing happened that was worth mentioning other then the wyverns. Go on and try to think what happened that moved the plot forward you won't think of anything other then wyverns and a couple smaller things.

The exchange between Rudy and Isuzu was the worst part of this episode, I don't care about these characters at all. just get to the action then return to the main story and characters that I actually care about please...

Oh also inb4 Isuzu's new music saves the town or the group from the Wyverns somehow.

Love how they make those in-game assets seem like "real life" for the People of the Land. 42 songs? I think those are the OST or theme songs for each patch or expansion.

Isuzu and Rudy are busy fighting, while Tohya notices Dariella's fake smiles.
42 songs only? I guess that's kind of sad for the People of the Land.

Lol, Akatsuki's using her feminine skills. Nyanta's not sending in reports?
Woah, that's not a black cloud, that's a freakin' huge group of wyverns!
Hopefully Nyanta does something about this.

I think my biggest complaint is how the story became so focused on these kids. They don't drive the plot forward at all. Character development is nice, but overall, useless. Where the hell is Crusty? Why don't we see a team looking for him? That would entertain me a hell of a lot more than seeing "lol music." I like Log Horizon, I do, but once these kids became the central point, the show is like a car on ice, trying hard to go somewhere, but ultimately staying put.

Yeah, it basically feels like they could have gotten all the character development for the kids done in one episode but they ran out of source material and so we ended up with all this screeching and filler. I don't think there is actually much plot left in the source material, from what I'm given to understand from the assholes who constantly post spoilers in these threads.

This.

-shrug- Rotating characters or groups of characters in and out of focus seems a fairly good way of maintaining balanced focus on a large cast.

On this subject... I feel that Kanami's group wasn't rotated in for long enough. 4 new characters, each with room for background story, plus some minor characters and enemies, seemed like a lot to cram into one episode.

We don't have a group looking for Crusty, because, I presume, no-one has any idea where he might be. That said, I'm very curious as to what the flavor text on that scythe says.

Great episode. Isuzu and Rudy's conversation expose more differences in the fates and lives between adventurers and People of the Land. All this will ultimately make the farewells even harder. While the characters are developing, the world is also changing. Looking forward to next episode and hope that we can see Nyanta fight. It has been a long time that I have enjoyed this much for a Log Horizon episode.

Log Horizon tends to drag on for me when there are no fights going on, I did however enjoy Akatsuki's small scene. I think Isuzu's writing the notes to her song but I don't know if it'll work for the people of the land. The animation is a little better than the last few episodes but there are a few scenes when it's just as bad as before. Next episode looks promising and I can't wait to see what Nyanta will do.


Still nothing on Crusty's location or condition :/

Who the hell cares about Isuzu's concerts? and her rockstar dad? dammit it's fine to see it once but every freaking episode? And the fact that she can't take damn compliment is so irritating. She plays the lute, she sings and everyone enjoys listening but she insists just she's just an amateur. Like those attention-seeking bitches in facebook who constantly uploads selfies focused on their cleavage and heavily make-uped faces that says "God, I'm so ugly". 24 episodes is as good as 12 episodes if they keep this slow paced shit.

Isuzu's logic: Stuck inside a game, with no way out. Cries because npcs only have 42 songs. wow....

hahaha yeah I like that last part. Looks like we're gonna see Nyanta in action. But knowing this show we'll probably see some bland drama and boring talk next episode at least for the first 3/4. It's always the last part that's interesting.

Edit: ^ Lol. I agree. Freakin' hate people who don't accept compliments even though we know that deep down they think they are the shit. Like, stop making yourself out to be such a big deal. -.-

I swear, Tohya is the worst fucking character in the series. Let the kid act the kid his age. I seriously hate how he's trying to act all mature and shit. He is the Naruto of the series, except Naruto worked in his own series, Tohya doesn't work in Log Horizon. Thus far in this second season, this kid has not done ONE noteworthy thing at all, not even his conversation. Log Horizon should also stop with its horrible romance attempt, 'em crushes and lust. Geez, seriously can't stand that kid.

Edit: On the contrary, I don't mind the focus on these kids, because of that we're introduced to a few other potentially good mysterious characters. Without the new characters addition, I probably would have found the arc boring though.

Edit: Oh ya, was it ever stated why the wyverns were after the kids? Tohya's speech at the end of the video kinda imply that the wyverns were after them, and how did he find out about it?

Boring first half with Rudy and Isuzu except the part about the 42 songs, it's been 20 years yet Elder Tales seems to only have 42 songs for the People of the Land, didn't the several updates provided new themes for fields, zones, towns, events, etc? The auto-translators kinda suck at times which is nothing new even in real life today.

So the mobile cathedral blocks Adventurer telepathy even though it resurrects them? Apparently it also make you look like a living zombie. Stay away kids, you don't want to look like them when you revive!
