Hello again everyone. I figured I should at least finish up the first chapter of the volume soon so here’s the final part to chapter one. The new year is still looking pretty bleak as there’s still no announcements about volume 22 and it’s been nearly a year since the last volume was released. Regardless, I’m hoping for a satisfying finish and the hopefully published, Akane route.

That aside, there’s not really much stuff to talk about right now as the new season has just started anyway. While Log Horizon’s new season seems alright, the loss of database still bugs me (along with that opening full of stills and camera panning). I also checked out that new normalfag show that uses Smash Bros of all things to define the character as a ‘hardcore gamer’ when it’s the most normalfag thing in the FGC. It was pretty much an instant drop for me as I do not want to be as disappointed when I read the Gamers LN (don’t get me wrong, it works well as an anime).

There’s also the recently announced release for the Tsukihime remake which casuals are also uppity about even though it’s a console release (this means Sony and Nintendo if you don’t get it yet). While I loved Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya and Melty Blood to death, I just can’t see this going all too well. The vampire mystery, Shiki’s impulses and a bunch of other stuff seems like it won’t hold in a modern and heavily censored setting, but I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see. It’s still a shame how much of a downgrade the new designs are compared to the MB designs though. Also as a fun fact, there’s a reference to MB/Mugen in the next chapter so if you’re a fan of that too, you can look forward to it.

Anyhow, do enjoy the release and don’t hold your breath just yet for the next chapter. It’s a REALLY long one (about 5x the length of a normal release) since it’s around 3/4ths of the SPOILERS: tournament. That’s all folks, and see you next time.
