Log Horizon S2 - Episode 18 Discussion / Poll

[Tenzen12]

I tought so too ...until now that is. Isuzu not just doesn't need talent, but not having it makes her character exposition/development in this episode more believable. Landers doesn't really care either for obvious reasons.

[Nvis]

So the chief is watching over them, huh?

I wonder if he knows about Dariella, maybe even Roe2?

Until it's proven on next week's episode, I don't think Nyanta know either Dariella (Nureha) or Roe 2.

Funny thing is that those wyverns will be killed for the magic bag anyway, so it seems that there's no need for those young'uns to travel towards Redstone Mountains now that they have wyverns to fight with.

Her VA's ability to sing and her characters ability to sing are separate things.

That fact about the people of the land having only 42 musics just reminds me again how blatantly obvious it is that this world spawned from a game (with a very limited OST apparently), it's very strange how the people of the land don't realize the many things that just don't make sense after they gained self-consciousness.

Is Rudy even aware that adventurers used to see his world as nothing but a game before the apocalypse? Did anyone ever tell him?

That explanation about the auto-translator clarifies how Kanami is able to talk to Chinese peoples and Americans without any problems, it must be a really incredible auto-translator though, far more powerful than anything we have right now.

BTW it's just amazing how overprotective the older members of the guild are towards the younger ones. It turns out Nyanta has been following them all along.

[Wandering Soul]

That was a weird conversation between Touya and Dariella but I think I have a rough idea of what it was supposed to mean.

The kids also seem to luckily have Nyanta watching over them.

1) How did Roe 2 get from the moon to yamato/japan? I think she said she woke up somewhere north of akihabara.

2) I'm guessing Shiroe always shares information with Nao and Nyanta about whatever he learns. We'll see next episode.

It goes with how he is likely more perceptive about people tiptoeing around others or being suspiciously nice from when he was wheelchair bound.

[Ickarium]

Yeah, my impression is he knows what a smiling facade looks like 'cause he used to use it all the time to try to make his sister and family not worry. He was telling her she doesn't need to act around him.

[Nicaea]

I'm pretty sure Nyanta can't be fooled by Nureha's appearance as Dariella, wether he knows about Nureha or not.

[Tenzen12]

I think so too.

1)She explained that last episode, she used her summoner ability switching place with summon, though instead of some random creature she used Shiroe when he was dying/died instead.

2)No I don't think he does, he is leaving lot of stuff for himself, either because waiting for right timing or he is not absulotely conviced about these himself. But I do think Nyanta knows about Nureha involvement in Akiba festival crisisis, but whether he recieved her description is another issue, regardlesst he can hardly recognise her from this distance.

PS: Yeah, Touya probably has knack for seeing through distressed people wearing happy facade, it make sense for someone like him.

[Xellos-_^]

So we will ship shiro/roe2 and toya/nureha

[Yan3242]

if they were going to pick a voice actor for a character that's suppose to be a bard in log horizon, they should have picked one that could sing, imo

I think they made her voice like that on purpose, her story told us that she is just so so singer, she can sing but she dont have the natural talent for it and she still young so she probably still "on training" or "amateur" category, if she sing so good like real jpop singer say... Like from those macross frontier, that would feel contrast with her story right?

And i really found new respect with rudy after this episode, what surprised me is that he seems aware of his world is just actually a game unlike other lander who think all those adventurer stuff is just sort of "magic" to them.

And yeah that forty two thing really put me in shocked, you only know 42 song exist in the world and you dont even have a slightest though that you could create a new song? That compare to real life is like we all believe that we are the only living being in this entire galaxy (which iam sure we are not)

[Tenzen12]

Actually I think Megumi Nakajima would work too, while she has nice voice and she is not much off tune, she is not really that good overally. Perfect voice for amateurs like Ranka or Isuzu, if you ask me.

Isuzu's VA is the VA for one of the Idol Master Cinderella Girls.
She's actually a good singer, and has released several idol singing tracks already.

So Isuzu's lackluster singing is 100% in-character acting by the direction of the anime, not inability of the VA.

No, 'we' won't. I really don't understand the anime community's tendency to ship everyone. Touya is, like Minori, a /middle schooler/. I am not shipping a 14 or 15 year old kid with an adult.

As for Shiro/Roe2, nah, Akatsuki is where it's at.

[DQueenie13]

Nureha's actually in high school, but I agree with Ickarium's sentiment. Nureha, especially, needs to learn about good, non-romantic relationships.

[~Yami~]

wow.. that's an awesome CG when they showed the wyvern
so that's where all the budget went

Dariella and Tohya conversation is awkward.. but it showed that it is not a feeling of love, it is just Tohya is very sensitive and perceptive about people which could be a bad match with Nureha who always faking her emotion and feeling

meanwhile, Rudy and Isuzu conversation is very interesting.. I think I feel bad for game characters which only hear a limited number of BGM
"forty-two" is too little for Elder Tale which has been run for years

Akatsuki become more talkative.. and Nyanta han-chou is going to slay some wyverns...
from the preview, it seems like we won't see too much about Nyanta.. but we would see how Minori's team handle the quest when they are separated in several groups

Is she? That's interesting, I got the impression she was the same age as Shiroe. Interesting.

And yeah, before she gets into any 'romantic' relationship, she really, really needs to learn how to have normal, non-mind-breaking, friendships. Let alone age gaps.
