Why oh why isnt the anime in the style of the manga?

Meh, I'll stick with Monster Girl Quest.

These are not two things that occupy the same sphere.

Meh, I'll stick with Spice and Wolf.

Well I would say it distinguishes itself from S&W in that while the former is about microeconomics and a single romance, MMY is about macroeconomics and the social evolution of countries.

I don't know where the fuck anyone would draw a MGQ comparison, beyond the whole Hero/DQ thing which is a tenuous connection at best.

There's a new chapter out, incidentally.

Sold.

why so much jiggle

>>80550
As I said in the OP, because ARMS.

The manga also has a fair amount of boobs though, so we can't blame it all on them. Just the vastly inferior artstyle.

The first episode was okay. They took some liberties since the CHART RAIN wouldn't really work in animated form, but I don't like how they presented her as this idealistic airhead. She does have elements of that, but she's also a ruthless pragmatist and in the original and Comp Ace series treats the first meeting like a very serious business meeting. She literally bombards him with so much information he has to admit his mistake.

They also cut out the most hardcore line, the bit about assassins.

I didn't even know there was an anime unti--oh dear.

Does the Demon King and/or Hero become more interesting as characters as the story progresses? Or are they both like this for the whole run?

>>80554
You could read the manga and find that out.

>>80556

But there are at least 21 chapters at about 50 pages eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaach.

Can you tell me about the economics part? Is it more scholarly structuralism or tryhard populism?

>>80559
You were JUST begging in another thread for manga. Here's a manga (which is better than the anime). Read it.

That's just beautiful.

Personally I watch this show for the Economics.

I don't get why they keep adding these scenes to make DQ seem more stupid than she was in the manga.

but where are the economics

saying "economics" isn't talking about economics when does it go beyond "there are economic considerations to war"

>>80952
Hey there's this manga you've been told repeatedly to read, maybe you should do that.

Though that said it's never as in-depth as Spice and Wolf and is as much about other kinds of reform as economic shit.

>>80953
Spice & Wolf is more microeconomics, Maoyuu is more macro.

And you can't really do macro without factoring in technological innovation, politics, diplomacy, etc., especially when it's set in a quasi-medieval world where individuals who can punch entire armies to death exist.

>>80961
I'll also add that having a guy who can punch entire armies to death on your side is fantastic leverage for someone who wants to bootstrap herself into a geopolitical force.

It also shows that the plot's focus isn't on shounen fighty bullshit, because there isn't a problem involving violence that can't be solved by pointing Hero at it, and in the process this highlights all the problems in the world that can't be solved by pointing Hero at it.

Maoyuu's Watchmanning old school JRPG plots - but is way more upbeat about it, of course.

>>80886
Are not huge tracts of land helpful to growing large amounts of crops which can be traded at market?

Maou could feed a country with her majestic bounties

Alright this show is p gud but it better be going somewhere.

So for the most part this show isn't making me do anything but go "this was better in the Comp Ace manga" and "well those backgrounds are nice."

But I have to admit, it's at least reaching directly into the "FukuJun and Koshimizu please just fuck already goddamn" part of my brain and successfully teasing the shit out of it.

Yeah, the manga is clearly better. But the anime has its own kinda charm. I, for one, just find it incredibly relaxing to watch.

I think it's kind of bullshit how there's a new episode of this and Haganai out today, when I can't have meat on Fridays.

New chapter, it's the big time demon clan party.

I just finished a marathon of Log Horizon after learning it the novels were by the same author. It's the first Stuck in an MMO series I can really say I enjoy. But that's not surprising considering the creator and the fact that Jougi Nakata is a swashbuckling cat cook.

What IS surprising is that the fucking author apparently showed up on /a/. The highlights are collected in this ADTRW post:

Nobody besides me and Famenag is watching Log Horizon, but worth noting is that Touno showed up on /a/ again. The sticky is still up, haven't read it though.

Thanks for reminding me to check for subs...

I picked it up on a whim to be honest. I was expecting something average at best, but the way LH takes its worldbuilding so seriously pleasantly surprised me.

Of course this is before I learned who was behind the light novel.
