So far as I can tell, it's trying to be a deconstruction of the magical girl genre. Really creepy monsters, a creepy stuffed animal companion...oh, and

Be sure to watch the third movie afterwards!

(1st and 2nd movies are basically the anime series itself)

I've watched log horizon. It wasn't great. But it wasn't bad ether. It had some interesting bits. I liked it better then sword art online.

Its good, like real good. If you liked the SAO idea of being trapped within an MMO then its one for you...
Its more about the political state that people would go through with trying to survive in a previous game world that is now their reality over combat filled stories such as SAO. When the idea that NPCs themselves are no longer static characters that repeat the same line over and over again but are their own people with pasts, dreams and goals...
Dealing with the fact that without the rules of society that Real Life places on each individual that anarchy will become destructive in not only that of individual lively hood but also the mental state of those not directly influenced as well...

Hmmm the Pacing........
Thinking about it, I would say not really. It might for some people but for me they paced it quite well. As long as your not there expecting excitement but more there for the story you should be good...
I can't think of any moment where it bogs down a good amount either. Maybe in one or two spots or so but it shouldn't pace poorly...

And I suddenly find out that I have to wait a goddamn month for the rest of SAO II, because licensing restrictions. Great. Just great.

Ya know, it'd be nice if some company made a streaming site for anime for Europe.

It's not really comparable to SAO beyond the fact that they both have a MMO as the base setting. They're very different animals with radically different themes.


As far as pacing goes, there really aren't problems in my eyes. The only part that bogged me down was the early overview of combat arc, which ends quickly.

The characters themselves are much less flat and more interesting, generally speaking, and there's certainly not the sort of squick that SAO started throwing out with the whole "we're-not-really-sibilings-so-it's-okay" crap.
