REVIEW: Log Horizon Episodes 1 - 6 Streaming

If we have to be told over and over that she's pretty, there's something off with the art.

What if the NPCs, called “People of the Land,” are, in fact, people? That rather than being trapped within a game, the players have been transported to a different place that merely functions like the game? While this may be reading far too much into the story, the idea is intriguing, and would add an extra dimension to the story.

always start by saying When Elder Tale was a game... which to me strongly implies that it no longer is.

Strange, I don't remember any character calling Akatsuki "pretty". Cute and adorable, yes, but not "pretty".

I do think she's cute - I don't think she's pretty.

first six episodes don't go quite far enough to avoid comparison with its predecessors.

See, this is unfair. It is almost impossible for a work of fiction to be so different to everything else that it cannot be compared whatsoever to any of its predecessors or contemporaries. Log Horizon is part of certain genres and sub-genres and so comparisons are inevitable.

akatsuki ruins the show for me, always attacking naotsugu for starting to say any perverted thing.

And it's not like comparisons are necessarily negative things. There's plenty of areas where Log Horizon is superior to Sword Art Online.
