Also ordered log horizon vol 1 with it since that was recently released in english, looking forward to that as well. Also planning to pick up some other light novels in general as a lot are being serialized in the west recently and most online fan translations of LNs are sometimes ESL-tier. Was planning to wait for all of the Spice and Wolf volumes to be translated before i ordered them but i might order them soon to read anyway. Edit: It was obvious that it was gonna happen with the ending we got and the sales it had but shingeki no bahamut confirmed for second season! | ||

Also about the first 20 episodes that's what people generally said so that's my impression of course if you plan on watching a series you don't go on ahead and just watch you look for reactions and review to make sure you don't waste your time just in case it's shit. Oh yeah btw don't miss the part that i said that's it's from what i heard lol How am i being superficial when i'm being honest that i don't like space opera ? yes i've watched a few gundam series and some other space shows but do i enjoy it more than other themes/genre ? NO of course i'd rather watch other genre if i can help it It's like when you choose which game to play of course i'll play the one i like the most not the one everybody likes. And am i saying i'd never eat sweet will since i generally don't eat sweets ? Of course not there are exceptions. "From what I heard" is code-speak for "pulled it out of my ass". Do you even know what superficial means? It means you are only caring about what is on the surface. And then you grouping themes and genres together suggests you don't even know what a "theme" is, although you could just be being goody. Here is why you are being superficial. In terms of pacing, storytelling, story structure, character introduction, etc, everything in Arslan is just like LOGH. The one and only difference is that instead of riding horses, they ride space ships. Its the same creature, just different looking skin. And you profess one to be awesome, and dismiss and drop the other.

Goody might like different themes. or am I getting confused here. Who in their right minds finds discussion about the "virtues"of slavery vs fanataism interesting? There isn't anything to even discuss or learn. Hense they are less interesting. | ||

The one and only difference is that instead of riding horses, they ride space ships. When did setting ever mean nothing? The setting is super important. Why even bother reading/watching/listening to anime/stories/series if you actually don't care about the setting and other factors(LoGH and Arslan are very different even if you say they have similar pacing/plot sure but they are very different on other aspects like holy shit ) ? If it doesn't make sense to you that's because it's your own reason of why you are watching it. Everyone who watches anime have different reasons for watching it and everyone gets interested in an anime for different reasons as well. And if i actually just want the morale/polical discussions alone and not care about the other elements like the setting, story etc why even bother watching anime i'd rather be finding people to discuss with those specific morale/polical discussions alone and talk about those stuff alone whether it be on online forum or IRL Basically i prefer one over the other that's it Sent. That's how simple it is. edit: Do i dislike LoGH ? No i just don't have the interest for it atm even after i saw "My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars ". Will i ever still like Arslan Senki over LoGH if ever i will watch LoGh ? who knows it could go either way | ||

The differences are skin-deep at best. The setting is hugely different? Pretend each city in Arslan is instead a planet. Wow, now the settings are almost the same! The idea that you can't look any deeper at an anime you watch is amazingly shallow. While I think both of you are being a bit crazy the setting of a story does influence ones enjoyment of it. Shouldn't just disregard it completely. | ||

LMFAO holy shit sent you actually say funny stuff sometimes Sent there's is no reason to follow a tale if actually don't care about the story and the setting that's just crazy why are you even following a tale.if you actually don't care about both. Anyways i already explained my reasons that people actually possibly like have other reasons for liking something that is actually not the same as you do. If you still can't understand that i already done my part explaining it to you. | ||

Who is saying to disregard it completely...? The issue is him disregarding everything else, other than setting.

If you still can't understand that i already done my part explaining it to you. And now comes the Strawman. Where the hell did I say an anime's story didn't matter? Where did I say setting was irrelevant? I'll give you a hint: no where. I mean hell, this entire thing has been about you praising one thing (Arslan), and then dropping LOGH despite it practically being the same thing, with just cosmetic differences. And as for your retarded question of "can you imagine yourself watching a non-mecha anime even if they have the same pacing and story", the answer is yes, all the fucking time. The idea that you think this is some clever "gotcha!" question is beyond me. Would you like me to bombard you with examples? Because I can name a whole ass load of non-mecha anime that could easily have been otherwise without changing anything major. | ||
