2/14/2024 0 Comments Log horizon animeIt's a bit ironic, given that the main character in this show has chosen a gamer class that's solely a support class, yet still manages to steal the limelight more often than not, even in battle. She is one of the most prominent of the female characters, which does say a little about the female characters in this show they tend to become victims, joke vessels or relegated to support role. It's also relatively short, so of course they had to make a joke about how surprising it was when she revealed she was at least as old as Shiroe. So let it be no slight on her capabilities as a player (or assassin, as the situation stands) when I say her female form is downright adorable. Like Shiroe and Naotsugu, she's a level 90 character, meaning she's easily as capable as the others, but since her voice would have been an obvious giveaway, she never really joined any guilds or groups for long amounts of time. Having played with their team before, she simply didn't really speak a whole lot, if at all, so when their residence in the game turns somewhat permanent, the first thing she does is to request an appearance-changing potion from Shiroe. Akatsuki is actually a bit of a curiosity, because the first time you see the character, you see a fairly tall male assassin character. ![]() During much of the beginning, he's liable to say something perverted, which earns himself a knee or a foot to the face from Akatsuki, the third part of our main trio. Not as much because he's incapable - he's a level 90 character, like many others among the main cast - but because he tends to be the butt of most of the jokes. ![]() The idiot role is mostly filled by Naotsugu. The show reveals him to be a college graduate, which at least lends some credence to his level of intelligence. Problems and its solutions aren't always a simple matter of just beating through them with whatever weapons he has at hand. Granted, I'm taking all the technobabble and "strategy" in this show with a pinch of salt, but he still gets the benefit of the doubt simply because he considers his options before doing things. In this world, Shiroe actually represents something of a rising trend in anime the intelligent, resourceful male lead who doesn't just rush in without a second thought, expecting everything to just sort itself out if they just believe hard enough. ![]() In its place, we're pretty much served the mystery of how everyone ended up living inside a game, because nobody among the main characters know, and, naturally, panic and confusion spread among the captured players, each choosing to deal with that in their own way, whether that be flaunting guild influence or resorting to stalking and PKing. Characters who fall in battle simply revive in a chapel, seemingly no worse for wear. This might also be why Log Horizon chooses to dispense with the "if you die in the game, you die for real" angle in the first episode it simply isn't happening. I throw this out now, so that you won't wonder why I won't compare Log Horizon to either of them - I simply have no basis for comparison outside of some minor information about either of the two. It's certainly not the first fantasy show I've watched, and also not one that's based on a certain game (which Log Horizon isn't), but I'm just throwing this out here anyway, mostly because at first, Log Horizon was inevitably compared to similar "stuck in the game" shows like dot Hack or Sword Art Online. Log Horizon is actually the first show I ever watched that's built around the concept of being stuck inside a game, preferably an MMORPG. At first, he teams up with his old friend Naotsugu and the mysterious assassin Akatsuki, and together, they head out to explore this new world built on the foundation of a game they all thought they knew. Suddenly and mysteriously finding himself literally inside the MMORPG game Elder Tale with no explanations as to how, Shiroe reunites with his friends. There are also four manga titles available, one of which follows the story of the novel. Notes: Based on a light novel series by Mamare Touno.
