Akatsuki is a socially awkward nerd who retreats into ninja roleplaying as a coping mechanism. She isn't actually a ninja, nor does she consider Shiroe her lord. I doubt that living as one's online persona after the catastrophe was all that rare, even.

I mean seriously, this is Ninja 101.

Though to be far to her she was doing so at time of poke. Presumably getting another one was just one of those "Things to do" things that got sidelined in all the excitement.

Wow, really? There are two books that haven't been adapted with another coming this month. The last season covered 5 books. I was expecting this to be a single cour.

Maybe they'll take something from the side story mangas. And 6 months could be enough for another book to be released before the season is over

Well, another aspect is that the next two books together have more action than the rest of the series. So I have to wonder if the budget will hold up.

Obviously halfway through it's going to ditch the whole cast and tell us about that one party with the sentient gold farming bot.

West Wing Brigade had some really good stuff, but I think it would work better as an OVA since it's very action-heavy (it's basically Rurouni Kenshin: The MMO)

Same with the Best Party.

Personally I'd like to see more plots from Nureha. That girl is crazy but she is determined and cunning, even if the entire last arc was an elaborate cat call.

It also isn't canon, in that it explicitly contradicts the novels in at least one major way.

Here's a PV.

They're keeping the OP and ED. Also switched studios from Satelight to DEEN. Looks like p much all of the main staff are the same people though.

Great news, guys. The animation studio for s2 has been changed to Studio Deen!

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

I haven't seen a DEEN scene since Fate/stay Night, which was hit or miss but quality enough to get me into the much-better real thing. Have they improved since then?

This about sums up my feelings about the change. I still haven't gotten over how bad the Umineko adaptation was.

To be fair they've been getting a bit better recently so I'm trying to stay positive.

That link gives me nothing but a black screen. Doesn't seem the PV is on Youtube, so...any idea how to fix that?

Also I know nothing of DEEN but I hope all fear proves wrong and we have good animation.

The first season wasn't very animated and new-DEEN is actually decent (they stole a bunch of animators from SHAFT). Satelight is busy with some other things too so their attention would have been split.

This will have much more fighting, though. But really, I can deal with crappy animation if it is directed well. Action was never the primary appeal here.

As long as the shots of glasses being adjusted are sufficiently dramatic, all will be well.

Haven't seen a DEEN show in a while, but if they're really better now then okay I guess.

Let's be honest, even if their adaptation was good, Chiru would have sucked by virtue of being an adaptation of Chiru. The project was doomed from the start.

Oh Jesus Christ Studio DEEN? Everything I've ever seen by them has been middling at best to downright terrible. I'm not so worried about animation quality itself so much as direction and tone, DEEN stuff always has heavy handed melodrama and I just can't see their tone working well with the overall tone of LH. This just seems like the worst choice possible for a series like Log Horizon. :negative: :cry:

You're confusing directors and writers with the people who are handling the animation!

When talking about the quality of the writing and directing, it's a bad idea to base it off the studio itself (unless it's SHAFT since Shinbo basically directs everything they do). Always better to just look up the names involved.

That's actually a good idea. I was originally planning just to make an origami box and paint it black but this works better. Looks better + functional box for storing all that loose change that'll be picking off the con floor.

I really should come on SA more often. Upon showing that pic to my other forums... well...
