Thoughts: Log Horizon Episode 8

I just recently watched the newest installment of Log Horizon and I was expecting some action again but instead of them being in an actual battle, the episode seems to have taken the intellectual battle path.  I would have probably said that this path is what makes me bored in seeing in anime or movies but Log Horizon made me stay on my chair and watch the entire episode with me wanting more.  It looked like it will become one of my personal favorites, along with Sword Art Online, Death Note, and Code Geass.  A total of 25 episodes and not yet halfway, everything is looking good on my end.  Log Horizon delivers what I wanted and the only thing missing would be someone cosplaying Akutsuki and I get to have a picture with her.

Just a quick though post about the anime, nothing to spoil it too much but if you haven't watched Log Horizon, start watching it today with episode 1!   I'd rate it a 9/10 now but it may change depending on how the story flows and how they would end it or have it setup for a second season or even a full-blown long series like Naruto and Bleach.  Man, those two anime are long but filled with fillers.  Hope they don't do that kind of thing but I guess I can't complain much since Log Horizon is doing better.

Anime: Log Horizon

I just stumbled upon an anime called Log Horizon.  I was thinking it would have a minecraft theme to it since it did have the word Log in the title and then the first thing you need to do on minecraft is to punch a tree to get wood (log).  And the word Horizon is like a forest over the horizon, which actually happens when you spawn into your first world in Minecraft.

Anyways, we are presented by three characters at the first episode, a strategist, a tanker, and a DPSer class.  Everything looking great til they run into trouble and then we get switched to what happened earlier before the group got together.

I see alot of comments on how this is SAO related but then when I look at Log Horizon, there may have some similarities but it has more of a party feel than being of a harem type fan service feel.  Yes there are lolis and yes there are girls in the show but it's not as bad as SAO where the main character gets an episode with several different girls.  But I don't really care as long as the anime delivers entertainment to its audience.  Which it did for me.  I liked it and started watching it recently.  It's still ongoing but I can't wait for the next episode since this anime have me hooked.

Til then cheerio!
