OP's that ended up being better than the show

If you're referring specifically to the S2 OP, then yeah. S1 was alright, even if the pacing felt too slow after the Hamelin arc.

>>145163435
Log Horizon was fantastic, take some time to think about your mistakes in life.

>>145163562
S2 was pretty shitty.

>>145163562

It was alright.
Definitely not amazing, S1 was alright and S2 shat the bed

>>145163493
>>145163562

S1 OP was great.
So technically, it was better than S1 itself, since S1 was just "good"

The show is generic fantasy shonen that is weighed down by two annoying dwarves

>>145165588
Shinn himself wasn't the problem with Destiny and could've been a great protagonist. The Minerva crew in general was far more interesting and competent than the Archangel, though that's not really too much of a feat considering how tragically trash Kira and co are.

It's because Fukuda and Morosawa were so in love with their hopelessly dull Gary Stu and the rest of the Archangels crew that the second half of Destiny turned out to be the utter shitfest it was, despite a very strong first thirteen episodes.

>>145165883
I honestly didn't like Destiny from start to finish, probably because I watched it right after SEED, and I hated SEED. The first few episodes were just a weaker rehash of Zeta so I could never find any appeal to it. But yea, Kira and co a shit.

LoGH

I remember the OP more than I do the show

>>145166205
I liked that Destiny began by tackling some of the consequences of what'd happened in Seed which made the Cosmic Era in general feel a tad more grounded and I thought the Junius 7 drop was absolutely sublime. The moments shared between Athrun and Shinn were also handled really well and there was a lot of potential there for a Kamille/Char-like mentor/student relationship. Unfortunately after episode 13 the series just kind of meanders around and does nothing up til the Impulse/Freedom fight and then it all just goes to absolute shit.

I agree that the beginning is essentially a weaker rehash of Zeta but I quite strongly believe it's better than anything the preceded it in Seed or followed it in Destiny. Though it's completely possible that I could just be romanticising those first thirteen episodes since everything else is just so poorly handled.

It's a shame we can't get a full series handled by the staff behind Stargazer; I really think CE is a hotbed of potential that was completely squandered because of an incredibly incompetent director and scriptwriter.

Shaka, when the loli fell.

>>145166587
I agree, but I also feel that the "hotbed" probably wouldn't extend farther than some extra OVAs, like 08th MS Team or 0083. Smaller stories that could at least try to shore up some of the weaknesses of SEED, perhaps an attempt to make the villains less caricatured or something.
Ultimately, I don't think another full 52 episode series in the SEED universe would have worked for me, simply because I just didn't give a shit about any of the characters at the end of the series, to be honest though.

Log Horizon was genuinely fucking awful.

The characters were the worse part about it. None of them acted two dimensional and all of them had their personalities written as if they were in some comedy SOL.
The context of the tension is also never done well.

And what a huge fuckup with the people of the land. The reveal that they are actual real humans with sentience should of been huge. There is so much mystery that could've been built up around them. Instead they get blown off as just jobbers for muh adventurers. Why the fuck can't you just show a scene where its implied the PoLs know something about the nature of the world we don't? That would get us much more invested in their whole story.
Also why the fuck do we need to focus on that shitty b plot about the kids learning about raids? That was so fucking boring, trivial and stupid. The only good part about it (and the entire show) was Rudy's development (and once thats done his character is mostly ignored).

While I haven't watched SAO in a while I doubt its worse than Log horizon if were counting the first seasons. The only defense I ever hear is how much more realistic a mmo LH is but they never tell me why that realism should matter to me as a viewer.

Was a pretty fun show despite Umetsu fucking it up as usual after episode 1, and sisters were amazingly cute. Feels like it would've been a good match for some story elements of Time Travel Shoujo airing this season, could've saved it.

On that note, this is relevant to the thread, too
