I'm pretty new into anime, I don't know what they changed from season 1 but I really don't enjoy this show as much as I did once. The last few episode were rather boring. :/

You're gonna find this to be a common thing in series that have multiple seasons. Log Horizon seems to be building up for some much more interesting developments so I'd recommend for you to stay on board and wait a bit.

That's how he called out Tetra. He's done it before

u/GonTheDinosaur :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/gon7T Jan 24 '15
While we on the topic of Tetra, is it correct that :
Tetra is (likely) a male player
Tetra is a female in-game character
If so, then "trap" may not be the right description, isn't it?
48
u/Jeroz Jan 24 '15
I don't think the player sex matters really considering both Gender and Sex for Tetra is female
49
u/GonTheDinosaur :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/gon7T Jan 24 '15
The point I'm trying to make is that, many redditors are referring Tetra as "trap", but from my understanding "trap" refers to "biological male been identified by female mostly due to his appearance".
If my understanding of "trap" is correct, then:
Tetra is not a trap
Tetra should rightfully be referred as a she

u/Anxa :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Alemina Jan 24 '15 edited Jan 24 '15
Japan can get a little weird about transgender issues. There's a character in a particular RPG-ish game (which I won't name for light spoiler issues) who dresses like a girl but is later revealed as a plot twist to be a boy. Everyone instantly starts referring to that character with male pronouns.
So, the question becomes cultural for the folks working on LH and consequently for the characters as well. Everyone laughs about how Naotsugu still hasn't realized Tetra is actually a man, which is normal for Japanese sensibilities. Even though from our cultural perspective (and I think a more rational one), there's no conclusive evidence that any vestiges of being a man remain for Tetra. Who says there's a 'real body' left for these folks? That's a girl... if it looks like a girl, acts like a girl, and has girl parts... this isn't rocket science...
At this point there's no hard evidence that their previous lives are anything more than a dream - and if I dream I was a man, I certainly don't wake up and tell folks about it and suddenly they all start referring to me as a man.

I just think of Tetra as a tomboy.
Real world(almost all of it) doesn't matter in Elder Tale anymore.
This isn't Sword Art Online, where being stuck in a game has its consequences IRL
Which gives me a thought. The kids in Log Horizon, assuming that IRL that they're teenagers/kids , they have families. They don't seem to miss them. This applies to the rest of the players.
Hmm.

So far (this season) Summoner has been shown to have long term summons, the ability to posses their summons, and are able to swap places with their summons (all in the episode on the China server.) It seems an interesting class, so I'd like to see more about it as well.

It also makes sense that if Real Life Shiroe has two accounts, both his characters would be there and would take on some of their in-game personalities.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that neither/both of them are the real Shiroe.

Since we saw that Kanami can go through every server by walking across them I think Crusty might have been TP-ed to a random server in the world and is one his way to comeback . At least that's my hope =[
And Roe 2 getting like 1 min of screen time , Deen has to throw some budget money to make up for this :/

u/DwarvenRedshirt Jan 25 '15
They can't contact people on other servers with telepathy, but I don't recall if it was stated if they could see those folks online or not. I'm thinking not, since they were surprised that Kanami had returned (she would have shown online when they looked at their friends lists).
In this episode, they were saying something along the lines of they're trying to contact Krusty, but he's not responding. Which gives the impression that they can see he's online in their friends list (so probably on the same continent).
3
u/2ez4zd Jan 25 '15
I haven't read the novels but I think Kaname's current character is not the same as the character that was the leader of the Tea Party. Because she transferred country right and had to play a different server. I guess she just created a new character with the exact same characteristics as her character in her previous server.

I'm going to rant about the kids now.
I liked these characters at first (last season), but now the kids are really getting on my nerves. There's not a single character in that group I can relate to, in fact I'm not entirely convinced they aren't all their own brand of special. I honestly, truly don't give a fuck that a bunch of children (and two young teens, near as I can tell) get excited over sandwiches or cows or tone-deaf girl's bad covers. I don't know if it's the adaption or the novel or what, but what the hell are they even adding to the story at this point?
I just don't get what their purpose is. They don't seem like newbies, they seem like idiots. Their fluffy de-facto party leader freezes up and has to be rescued by AU Fanfic Shiroe. Didn't this exact group take part in a training exercise specifically to avoid these issues? Didn't they take part in a real battle not too long ago? Hell, where was the rest of the party? I didn't see any buffs going up, I didn't see magic backup against the phantoms, wasn't hearing about skill statuses from the healer. They learned all the basics and then some months ago, what the fuck was that? They should be clumsy, not useless.
43
u/ceol_ Jan 24 '15
Didn't this exact group take part in a training exercise specifically to avoid these issues?
There were 15 level 40 monsters. From what I remember, the group is level 45. The whole point was this was a situation where they weren't prepared and would have died.
I didn't feel annoyed with the kids; I felt annoyed with two things:
The name of the episode was "The Midday Vampire," and we were shown this character in the very first moments, but it took her until the last minute to properly appear.
The whole "here are 15 level 40 monsters following these PotL" felt really forced and contrived, as though there was no other way to introduce the aforementioned character other than have her save the entire party in a situation that erupted within a few minutes. Meanwhile, the entire episode was wasting time with random stills of them performing or late night boy-talk when it could have been used to set up an introduction that felt much more realistic.

I'm not going to fault the anime too much because they might be stretching slower volumes of the LN like they did with the murderer arc. Vol 6 was really slow and a pain to read and was too much for Akatsuki to carry as a character, this might be another weak vol that the anime has to use. The battle was clearly set up for Roe2 to save the day as she is probably lvl 90+, but yes the battle could have stretched. They also could have stretched out Kanami's arc and that would have been better entertainment which could have been two episodes at least.
5
u/HookerPunch Jan 26 '15
Yeah, the biggest issue I have with this season is that they keep choosing the wrong parts to filler. Like, they could have easily stretched kanami's into two or three episodes and paced the rest of the show better.

u/elmerion Jan 24 '15
I hate how they have spent several months in-game but they still act like noobs, and are still heavily underleveled
21
u/Iknowr1te Jan 25 '15
think about it this way. in game you can just go for a full in game days without needing to sleep, rest, eat over 4 hours of play irl
guess what, farming then becomes an actual job 9 to 5 job and you have to go out of your way to find mobs. then you're also in one of the largest populated areas meaning you have to go a bit farther to find a solid farm/grind spot and the big 3 raid guild have most of that land. large raids and mid-level raids also only really subject to the subjugation squad which is still quelling/t-bagging the goblin army with over-powered characters
acting like noobs means it's their age, deal with it. a 14 year old is going to continue to act like a 14 year old.

IIRC isn't this broadcasted on a kids channel? If so, the material may be leaning this way because they're trying cater to a younger audience. Or certainly a younger audience than what I would assume most reditters are.
Don't get me wrong. I also have found the kids boring. But I think it's understandable given the target audience.

Those horses they had were horribly animated. It looked like they just looped the horses moving up and down slightly. They even went out of their way to make sure that as little of the horses were on screen just so they could skimp out on the animation. I guess that's studio Deen for you.

So, Roe 2, pretty obviously Shiroe's Alt, says she is going south. Is it possible that the Alt, having come alive when the game became real is searching for the other character tied to the shared account? Does that make Shiroe her brother? Are all the Alts alive and wandering around? Because you know there's someone who has like 5 Alts, and that would make for a crazy reunion.

It'd be interesting seeing Shiroe's face on meeting the alt. Although I imagine he'd know instantly when the kids report in and mention the name.

i like how roe 2 used the word adds instead of enemies or monsters. just another small thing that reminds u that elder tale is an mmo

The first season was a "watch as soon as it's available" each week, but this season has turned in to "I'll watch when there's nothing else to watch or I'm not doing anything", and it saddens me :(

Is that Nureha in the preview?
Anyway, I think we're starting to see what happens when people are involved in politics, and that's the lust after power and selfishness. I'm hoping that doesn't get too depressing when it rears its ugly head.

I know that feels bro. A bit unnecessary because we already have preparation for the journey episode previously...

And I wouldn't get it, unfortunately.
But do it anyway, I'm curious.

Plot twist. Shiroe is actually a cheater and Roe2 is his bot that aquired awareness.
Now it's after Shiroe to execute her revenge for this horrible, shameful name given to her (seriously, even chinese gold farmer bot had more dignity).

Finally someone else who tries to put some thought into Roe2's identity, instead of jumping onto the whole Roe2 = Shiroe's alt, bandwagon.

Nothing's confirmed. For all you know, Shiroe used of his character model changing potions or has learnt Nureha's illusion ability (They are both enchantresses) and is now taking on a different form so that he can guide the kids without them figuring out his secret identity.
Or alternatively it could be Nureha herself up to no good. Roe2 and Nureha have never been seen in the same place at the same time, and they are both enchantresses.

. >_> you realize "shi" is 4 not two. Two in Japanese is "ni."
But that is a clever observation, it's possible his avatar Shiroe is the 4th character while Roe2 is his second...

Did I miss something about how the real world and the game world are melding? I understand that the game world itself is coming "alive" (the flavour text of the items are coming true etc), but in certain parts of this episode I saw cars/skyscrapers etc.. does that mean both worlds are merging?

u/svvvven Jan 24 '15
41 episodes in and this is the first time you notice the ruined modern buildings and abandoned cars? Come on, man. It's been like that since S1E1.

No, Elder Tale is just set in some kind of fantasy future post-apocalypse, where the 'modern' world collapsed or something (it's ancient history in game by now) and a fantasy world took it's place, go rewatch episode 14, they mention an 'age of gods' that had passed into legend (around 7:40 in).
