Just a comparing thread. Which of the two did you enjoy more, as they are both similar in some ways. Personally, I enjoyed SAO more, mainly because I liked the characters more, both are decent series.

What are your guys's thoughts on it all?

Saving this post for when I actually watch them.

Log Horizon wins. This is mainly due to how badly done the Alfheim was done.

I doubt Log Horizon is better. A lot of people hate the Alfheim portion, although I didn't mind it so much.

I feel that in the first arc Sword Art Online was better than Log Horizon. Although, with the second arc (Alfheim), I think that Log Horizon wins me over.

Haven't seen either because nobody has tried to make it worth my time to watch instead of what I am.

[Illuminati]

I'd say Log Horizon, simply because SAO was ruined with Alfheim imo.

Would someone be happy enough to clue me in on what Log Horizon is like? I could go and read up on My Anime List, but I'd rather hear it from people directly and know what they thought of it.

I have watched SAO and am completely in love with it. I know Alfheim was not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it immensely. I'd be interested in seeing something that could really compete with it.

I have watched Sword Art Online so many times and by far the best anime ive seen.

Synopsis
By its eleventh expansion pack, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Elder Tale has become a global success, having a following of millions of players. However, during the release of its twelfth expansion pack: Novasphere Pioneers, thirty thousand Japanese gamers who are all logged on at the time of the update, suddenly find themselves transported inside the game world and donning their in-game avatars. In the midst of the event, a socially awkward gamer called Shiroe along with his friends Naotsugu and Akatsuki decide to team up so that they may face this world which has now become their reality along with the challenges which lie ahead.

These two animes are quite different. In sword art online they have/had the freedom to switch to whatever kind of game they want after finishing that arc, however LH does not have that capability as the game has become real life for them. To compensate for this though there are still multiple events that can be triggered making the specific arc they are in more interesting or just making an arc out of the event in general. LH and SAO also have completely different main characters. While Kirito happened to have the luck of training as a martial artist while he was younger, Shiroe (LH main character) is just an elite strategist couch potato.

These are only some of the few differences in the animes LH and SAO, however that said they are both REALLY great animes and log horizon in my opinion is as good as SAO and has the potential to become better.

sorry for the long explanation sorta
