Log horizon took so long to get interesting. Tohya, Rudy and the newbie crew going into dungeons finally made it a decent anime. Otherwise just way to much backroom dealing keeps it from being as intriguing as Sword Art Online.

Yup. It had great visuals, a great opening, at that point in time the story was fine, the idea was also very cool. Shit only went to real shit when the author decided to go all Mary sue and turn the series into a harem.
And my worries expressed in the last episode impression were all for naught. Good!
This was a predictable but well done conclusion to the series. Honestly given the demographic I'd expect no more nor less but that's OK.
I'd recommend this show to anyone. Especially if you are one of the good guys. If only it weren't for some odd pacing at points.
Good fun!

I think probably the moment the penny really dropped was probably episode 3, where Kirito spends his days fooling around with a low-level guild and then they all die midway through the episode for no good reason in a horribly choreographed action scene that could easily have been avoided if they had realised the chest in the middle of the room was an incredibly obvious trap... and if Kirito hadn't been hiding his level for no good reason... and if the entire world wasn't biased against "Beaters" for no good reason... and then there was a revival item, and a fucking stupid message that was made months ago but only coincidentally opened that night that just so happened to be perfect for that situation gurgh my brain went numb.

SAO is a good anime. The first half was really good. The second half was good but failed to live up to the first half. The show concluded in a satisfactory manner and I'm looking forward to the series continuation.
It gets better and better as it goes. I think the show improves once they leave Earth, and it gets even better when they get outside the solar system. But if you don't like episodes 3 - 6, it's probably not for you.
THIS IS AMAZING. Seriously, it's really good. The characters are great (Nibutani is waifu material), the comedy is great, and the drama is okay (It only started on ep 5 so I can't say much about it).
That fight between Rikka and Tooka was AMAZING. And Nibutani + Sanaee is the best thing.
The Opening shots, the character design, the highschool setup, the brown-hair go-happy protagonist and silver-hair depressed brotagonist, the primary colored mechas and romantic antics
This was fun and cute. A lot of the scenes are pretty short and rapid fire, so even if the a segment doesn't work they move past it quickly. I guess that pace will be maintained since it's a 4koma adaptation. There were a couple of nice looking cuts in there as well.
Clapping teacher was best. There was more yuri than I expected, probably just because pink hair is an idiot. Purple/Blue hair needs to learn that fingering an LCD screen is never funny. Death to the opponent.
"It's really not a big deal. I just noticed that the gayest chicks have long or wide faces, and then measured a bunch of them to create the formula you see on the screen behind me. I'm honestly surprised I was the first to do it."

The high school setting that appears to have been completely abandoned at the end of the episode? Did I miss a silver-haired character besides the one desperately trying to murder the MC (hardly a brotagonist there)?
I said it earlier in the thread, and I guess endless comparisons are inevitable because the show just ended, but Buddy Complex didn't feel all that much like Valvrave. It's not like Valvrave is the only Sunrise original mecha, the first episode felt more like Zegapain to me than anything if I had to compare it to something.

I'm pretty sure the guy trying to kill him isn't the same as Dio. It seems like he was a former ally of Hina. MC probably turns her in the future and sends her back in the past to protect himself terminator style.

I like how this show has been layering on its plot threads. Every episode is usually pretty focused on one thing, but they also plant the seeds early on for things that'll happen later. So while this episode pays off stuff about
the shifty security guy working with Niimi, and the scrapped Izumo plan
, it also brings
Yuki's origins and the nature of her mission
to the fore to use later, and advances the subplot of the navigation computer a bit. It's really good serial writing, and it's something that Kill la Kill (to throw one example out there) has had some trouble with in the back half of the fall season.
I would never have expected this to be my second-favorite TV show of the year before I started it.

Dio isn't the same character as the one who attempted to kill the MC, but Dio isn't silver-haired. He's blond. He also doesn't seem anything like L-Elf character-wise, from what little we've seen from him.
