it doesnt get bad but the animation quality keeps going down and theres a hilarious bit in s3 where one of the side characters gets transported to fantasy mmo china and has an entire adventure there that takes up a volume of the LNs, but for some reason the anime didnt adapt any of it so he just reappears 10 episodes later talking about people and adventures the audience never saw until it gets a very brief recap

we could've had even more leonardo?????? i'm furious

Not gonna lie but this is the part that turned me off. Not anything about politics or fascism or titoism. I just did not care for the premise of "smug anime girl with the mind of a sociopath does World War 1" and didn't feel like pursuing it any further.

The show never paints this as good if that's what you're worried about; my interpretation/assumption is that she's at best a sort of "Byronic Hero" who Karma will eventually bite her and the enjoyment is seeing how deep of a hole she digs herself into in her attempt to try to dig herself out of the hole that she dug herself into in the first place.

I've only vaguely heard of that one (as: "She: The Ultimate Weapon"), I was thinking of Izetta: The Last Witch

It's not that at all that turns me off. It's the "I have the mind of an rear end in a top hat and the body of a little anime girl wearing army uniforms" part that turns me off. I can't really look past that part when it seems like little more than a blatant attempt at marketing so they can put cute pictures on the volume covers. I don't know if it adds anything or if they do much with the gender swapping reincarnation or if it's literally only "salaryman is a girl now, deal with it" and the story goes on otherwise, it didn't sell me and I didn't get far enough in to see if that changes.

does log horizon get bad? I watched up to the part where they were negotiating with the princess npc

season 1 is great, season 2 is good but was a bit more divisive i think. season 3 i'm not really sure why they made it since its adapting a pretty transitional/inconsequential part of the story. i still enjoyed it since i just fundamentally really like the whole cast of that show whatever they're doing, but i also didnt wait 7 years for it so i get why people who did were disappointed

The "this is a story about an evil protagonist using their skill at being a manipulative bastard to get ahead in life but their reckoning is coming and also she's a twelve year old girl in a cute army outfit isn't that crazy?" didn't appeal to me. I could take one or take the other but I didn't get anything from mashing those two things together. Call it what you want.

I enjoyed all of the anime but as mentioned previously people waited years for part 3 and it culminated in the sidekicks getting together and handling a dungeon on their own.

It was cool, but I don't know if I'd like to cap off what could be the last entry in my anime franchise with Guild Jr getting it done.

the high point of log horizon season 3 was the reveal that crusty is a girl bullying machine because he is actually like 12, at least that's what the flashback part implied

if that's not what's happening i don't know if i want to know the truth

the weirdest thing about ANN was how often the anime fans they'd complain about were just the site's own forums, which are bad, but from people I know who used to try bothering with them the mods there largely keep it that way.

i checked and the collar ep was indeed an OVA so mea culpa, tho there's still several segments that just feel cruel

konosuba definitely has some segments where the characters are being a little too cruel to each other, but it also doesn't usually treat the ones being cruel like you're supposed to be sympathetic to them

when someone's being a jackass in konosuba, they usually get their comeuppance pretty quickly and it's usually portrayed as entirely their own dumbass fault, which cuts out some of the bite
