This was great while waiting for Log Horizon 2 and a hopeful second season of NGNL.
It has the nice twist of the government involvement and a refreshing look at what happens when you alter another world via influence that Log Horizon had. Good to see shows that don’t just turn the “visitor” into a puppet of the new environment but showing the psychology that people carry their own baggage with them and how it can affect their new surroundings and not just some political butt-kisser trying to fit in.
Watched the first episode on VOD as it came this week, and was so hooked I just finished the series after having a nap sometime after episode 9.

The harem is there for a bit of attention but also brings in everything it should for the “culture” aspect to not be too much of any one thing. I really hope for a season 2, so that more can develop and see the stupid Earthling freak out in their religious nonsense when off-worlders come and threaten their sedate and complacent lives knowing they are the only people in the world, blahblah…
But that could cause all kinds of the normal “aliens” troubles, so just mostly hoping a dragon crosses over and goes on a rampage because everyone is wearing deodorant and nasty perfumes and such. :laugh: Just to see the cover-up be blown wide open and a government finally getting its comeuppance. Got to hope for it in the fiction because it never happens in the real world!
Also want to see lots more changes in the world of the Eldant Empire to see how people treat each other and work ethics.
I fear, like Shingu, the story has told all it was intended to tell and there will be no more, which is sad when you could have much more of an interesting world and let the world itself grow to be the character rather than the pet protagonist.
