Log Horizon

Nothing. Better to stick with SAO I guess.

They lose a chunk of their old world memories every time they die.

> Implying a story that focuses on virtual politics and economics needs that kind of urgency

>>136077555

Yeah, but still. From now on, if they go into a fight I won't give a damn, because I know they can respawn the next second.

>>136077277
I can't speak for everyone but I enjoy it for the world building and the characters. Not every show needs urgency.

>>136077555
>>136077762

Death doesn't happen. Which means there's no way out of slavery and rape.

Who's in control of society, who has power over other people's lives, these things become even more important when death is no escape.

>>136077873
Holy shit.

I will have to see a couple of chapter more; but the rape thing sounds stupid; if someone is being raped, or became a slave they just have to commit suicide and then respawn on the chapel.

But as I said I will have to watch a couple of chapter more. Akatsuki is my incentive so far.

>>136078241
>they just have to commit suicide and then respawn on the chapel.

...and remember every second of it happening anyway. There's no escaping the trauma

>>136078241
Initially they didn't know if they would respawn or just die. Wasn't till someone actually died and respawned did they know that the system was still in place.

>>136078241
>they just have to commit suicide and then respawn on the chapel
Which you literally cannot do inside a town.

>>136077277
Shut up scum.

>>136077277
That's what I thought too, but it just creates a new set of rules and new urgencies. The politics in game are intriguing and they're still learning all the mechanics. There actually is a certain danger in dying.

Is this the same poster who asked about SAO yesterday?

>>136081363

No, it wasn't me. I hate SOA, and I couldn't even finish the first arc.

>>136077277
The show and the novels actually do a good job of demonstrating how life can still be complete shit even if you cant die.

You can get away with all kinds of shit in the ET world and not have the Automatic Guards care as it isnt considered "an attack". Inprisonment and Slavery are huge problems.

LH has pretty good pacing. Or at least S1 did.

And death isnt without its consequences. Every time they die they are forced to sacrifice memories of the old world. Theoretically if you die enough times you'll completely forget about the old world. Which would be shit for you if there was suddenly a way home discovered. You could go back to your old life but you wouldnt have any memories or knowledge of it.

>>136078241
>but the rape thing sounds stupid; if someone is being raped, or became a slave they just have to commit suicide and then respawn on the chapel.

Hard to do when you are inside a Guild Zone.

All the shit with Hamelin should be enough to demonstrate what people with power could do if used for their own neferious ends.

Later on when Inctis and Nureha are introduced you'll see another demonstration of how one person completely traps and enslaves another.

You should stop watching it, though not for the reason you stated. Shows goes completely to shit in the second season.

Shame, because the start was very strong.

>>136077329
SOA does away with the threat of death in the second arc also.

Though it keeps the threat of watching SOA.

Hold on to hope, anon.

Once Mamare has a few more volumes out there should be enough material for another season.

Better yet a whole different studio takes the series once once Mamare is finished with it and gives us the adaption we deserve.

>>136084802

And just a friendly reminder - this is an NHK show, so sales, popularity, etc don't mean jack squat to getting a third season, thanks to government ￥￥￥. And Log Horizon is one of the most popular NHK shows in a long time. Soon as we have a few more volumes written S3 is pretty much for certain.

>>136085870
Oh come on, it`s not so shitty, sure they spent a lot of time on exploring dungeons and Akatsuki`s arc shouldn`t have taken that long, but it did deliver when it was necessary. Let`s not forget Kanami best MILF

Just waiting in the database of life for s3.

Oh hey, a Log Horizon thread.

Recently over here they crowdfunded a localization of the TRPG book, I went in for the full 80 bucks and I'm really looking forward to it. Also, got volume 9 recently and the fold out poster page they usually have are the finalized results of that nationally exclusive class survey they had after season 1 aired with character designs done by the anime's character designer.

I'll take a few photos if this thread is still around after I'm done with work.

the only urgency I felt was for the arc about the shitty kids to end.

>>136086401
Thanks nig, hopefully thread is not kill by then.

since when is the threat of death needed to create suspense or make a story interesting?

death being the only thing at stake should have the opposite effect, unless you're really good at lying to yourself, you already know the protagonists aren't going to die, it just becomes a matter of how they pull it off.

Anyone that whines "DEEEEEEN" is a dumb fucking /v/ memester and will never have an opinion that is of value to anyone.

That's why I never got why some people feel there's no point to SAO once they escape from Aincrad. The story doesn't end just because you can log out. If anything, that's what makes it fun, because it *is* just a game. You can take risks you couldn't otherwise. It's also something I didn't get about Heathcliff: what fun is there in being the GM of an MMO in which 2/3rds of the people are too terrified to leave the safety of the starting town?

>>136087372
I don't care about whether they can "log out" or "die in the real world" or not in SAO, I'm turned off from the show because it's overindulgent chuuni masturbatory power fantasy garbage for angsty edgy highschool losers who wear trenchcoats and buy katanas off home shopping network.

>>136087372
SAO is just shit in general.

Partially translated it seems.

Someone mentioned crowdfunding to translate it but has not provided any source to that.

>>136077277
that's a werid thing to say, you don't watch anything if it doesn't have a sense of urgency, doesn't really apply to this though since rules change all the time, and just within the context of what you know, you assume if someone dies they come back based on knowledge your given, stories that stay good over the long run like LH are able to do so because they change the story up to make it interesting all the time

Are the LNs ever going to be translated beyond book 7? Whats the current status of the official translations?

>>136088745
Up to Vol 3 released. I would expect at least three more released over the course of this year.

>>136088745
Yen Press has the license for the English release and they're slow as shit.

>>136088826
How is Yen Press making money with all these procrastinating?

>>136077277
fuck you

>>136089149
their goal is to kill fan translations, not to make money. sales are just bonuses

3 volumes a year is pretty par for the course, I feel. There's an issue with oversaturating the market if they release too fast. I wonder how many translators they actually got. They went and bought a lot of LN licenses and put them out pretty consistently, so they might actually be churning through them.

Did the LH fan translators stop after licensing?

It's being crowdfunded in Korean, not English. Haven't received it yet, but from what I heard from the translators, they're done printing the books but some of the bonus materials are lagging behind schedule.

Not very high unfortunately. Unless Yen Press decides to pick it up. Maybe try sending them mass e-mails.

Alternatively I or someone else could try to translate it, but...

Well, just look at the thing. It's huge.

It's a TRPG book, those tend to be mostly charts and text.

>>136084704
>Shame, because the start was very strong.

Has a lot to do with the change of studio, though there are some structural issues with the novels covered by the second season that don't help either.

>>136091694
Exactly what I was expecting before I even opened it. That Nyanta is one of the most glorious English dub voices I've ever heard. Now it only Serara didn't sound like a 30-year old reading lines in falsetto cutsey voice.
