Reply to comment by JAMSDreaming in [WP] When you discovered your daughter was a magical girl, you angrily confronted her patron. However, you were surprised to see that they also did not like the fact that your daughter was a magical girl but unfortunately, she was literally the only option they had. by Bloodgulch-Idiot

Oh I want more Father Time Magical ~~Girl~~ Man and his daughter sound like a fun duo

I'd watch this series before I went for another SAO knock off. I'm sick of "I got sucked into my video game/rpg and now I'm stuck here". I remember the first time we did that dance, it was called "Dungeons and Dragons: The Animated Series".

Edit: if you want to be specific, we did it before that with the Neverending Story

To be entirely fair, Log Horizon is actually good for the most part.

I will check it out. What's the setting and backdrop? I'm good with sci-fi genre stuff too. I'm old enough to remember seeing The Macross Saga when it first aired here in the States.

Well, same basic premises of being sucked into the game, but instead of VR, it's actually a top down rpg. All the players have been playing for years before a major update, and this update ends up sucking them all in. They end up having to figure everything out and reorient themselves, figure out how to use their skills without the actually good menus, their society is entirely muddled for a while, the NPCs actually have their own society and they're wondering wtf happened with all the adventurers, there's actually history of the player characters interacting with the world(which is kinda mind blowing), respawning actually costs life experiences, the players end up forming a whole council for a long while as they start reorganizing and using real experiences and knowledge to vastly improve quality of life, it is so good. The magic and stuff is awesome, and a quote unquote 'NPC' actually ends up beong magically contracted into becoming an 'Adventurer' to save his own life. It's so good. I did hear that for a few years, the writer of the manga ended up dealing with a lot of legal trouble that landed him in prison, but he's gotten out and continued writing. The Anime has only three seasons as of now as a result. Absolutely worth the wait, that was. I'm not gonna spoil anymore though. :P

This sounds great! The hubby and I enjoyed reading "Mogworld", which was entirely from the perspective of a video game NPC in a WoW-type game. "Free Guy" only sort of glanced at that existential nightmare of being respawned infinitely.

Uhm, off cuff, what kind of legal trouble? Like I’m okay with stuff like tax dodging or public drunkenness, less okay with Weinstein levels of ick. I don't have much veto power in the world, so voting with my wallet (royalty revenue is totally a thing, ask Enya) is pretty much all I've got.
