Guys, I know that Log Horizon has a second season. I put the key art for the second season in The Bucket We Don't Acknowledge, alongside Dexter's eighth season and the live-action A:TLA movie. Stop saying I meant "third season." I didn't.
Log Horizon's second season was just like Overlord's second season IMO. Good for world building and setup for a third season, but rather disappointing in most other aspects.
Laura Tatum well if you’re ever burnt out on intense dramas or action shows, this is a good show to relax and follow. I’m not saying it can’t make you emotional, it’s just a lot calmer and more down to earth than most anime these days
Why would you lie to your dentist? They're a doctor trying to take care of your teeth. When my dentist asks me I just say no and when they say I should I tell them I won't because I can't be arsed.
No ! French people don't surrender that easily ! Look at the French Revolution, for example... Who won the hundred year war : France ! So it may not be the most bad ass army ever, it still hangs in there !
It's more that hayashi's kanji means a small Grove of trees while adding the third part on top makes it designate a whole, large forest. Possibly about how hayashi only shows a small part of morioka's traits
Jesus I laughed so hard when you spoke french ! Feels so good to finally hear someone who can pronounce basic words right. And that singing "Merciii" at the end. Aaaah so good. A like from France bro !
Fun fact: a lot of the game mechanics used in Shellfish Online are actually taken from a game known as Mabinogi, the title/logo/some images of which can actually be seen a few times in the convenience store as an advertisement. Shellfish Online shares many similar visual and gameplay similarities from the character creation, to quests being dropped by a bird and even to the quickbars design at the bottom of the page.
Just putting this out there but when I heard the phrase "...aren't able to excel" and you dropped a screenshot of Accel World I said out loud, dude you passed up a PERFECT place to reference Excel Saga! Then I remembered that talking to the tv makes one look crazy.
I don't have anything clever or insightful to comment but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your sense of humor in these videos. The jokes hit so hard and fast and are completely moved past often by the time i have a chance to react. Brock and his donut had me pausing the video to laugh.
You know french, so I appreciate the funny route you took with translating Fruits de Mer, because the way they used it probably was a LITERAL translation of those words into English which would have been "Fruits of the sea" but Shellfish is way funnier.
Haven't seen MMO Junkie yet, so had to stop when you called us out at 2 minutes in lmao, but I'm officially interested in it now ;D will save this video for the near future after a watch~
I appreciate that this essay is completely different from the Extra Credits episode of the same name. It's a different medium under the microscope, so perhaps that's inevitable, but I still find it amusing.
I would have guessed that Fruits de Mer meant Seafood. Like, in Portuguese "Frutos do Mar" are basically any seafood. And at least in Spain I heard "Frutos del Mar/ Frutos de' Mar" used in the same way.
What do you mean??? Tsukihime has no anime The only type moon adaptations that exist are from ufotable YOU HEAR ME, ONLY UFOTABLE HAS DONE ANYTHING TYPE MOON!!1!1! DEEN-STAY NIGHT ISN'T A THING NOR IS TSUKIHIME
I just realized something.... Morioka is basically adult Tomoko. I mean she's alot better off for sure, but somewhat similar. That must be why I like this show so much.
Man, I absolutely love your content. Your sense of humor is exactly what I need & the stuff you talk about is fun & interesting. Keep up the excellent work.
Its a good point to bring up that Morioka and Sakurai, who are living through other people with their mmo avatars, other characters, (for example Koiwai) who are only using them as avatars do not have different voice actors for their mmo characters (at least in the dub)
Youre the first person to manage to get me to stop a video and immediately watch an entire anime before continuing the video. So congratulations. And thank you. Mmo junkie was fantastic.
Oh my god the picture of Aladdin (from the play Twisted: The Untold Story of A Royal Vizier) at 7:23 got me so excited like I literally jumped when I saw him. I know so few people that have seen that musical oh my god
Man, I still can't get over seeing my mine in these videos. Keep doing what you're doing, my man! I wish I was more conversational in your Discord, but alas, I find myself spending less and less time on my own computer, because I always sit in front of one at work.
The only thing not perfect about this video is the lack of musical masterpieces. Seriously though, I loved you videos about MMO Junkie and your two music rants aswell.
Oh Braynt, I didn't come here without seeing it because I was looking for Analysis videos. I came here without seeing it because I was looking for you! :D seriously I have no time I've been on overtime since November heeeeeelp....
come on and slam and welcome to the ja'am ... For real though, your analysis is always so well done and so well thought out that I can't wait for the few videos you put out. They're worth the wait, and this is no acception.
Thank you for another great video! One small thing to mention: while your point about Morioka covering her mirror to avoid her reflection is interesting, I think this is actually a cultural thing? Covering mirrors in the bedroom has to do with a superstition about bad spirits coming out of them at night to take you away, if I'm remembering right. Though I've also seen the same thing done for other reflective surfaces, like televisions and computer monitors? So there could be something said for her covering the mirror, (in that she's maybe a bit old-fashioned or superstitious) but leaving the computer screen uncovered (where her online connections mean more to her than the superstition.) Either way, always wonderful to see another video from you, especially about a series that meant a lot to me too! ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ♡
Oh, I've never thought about it until they were written out, but that's pretty clever. Hayashi means forest in Japanese. Mori also means forest but...bigger? I guess it's close to the difference between a wood and a forest. And the ko kanji in Moriko is generally used to suggest child. Same kanji as KOdomo (child) or KOinu (puppy), etc. So it's the comparison of a smaller forest vs. forest + child. That makes for a really interesting point of metaphorical comparison, I kind of love that!
i don't want to sound like a weirdo but the way he said that merci was very musical and pleasant-sounding the video is great btw i have rewatched it like 5 times since it was posted
Excellent as usual, Exclamation Point. Quite frankly, I hadn’t realized about half of this (though I hadn’t given it that much thought). I’m honestly curious about your notes, but I’m poor and haven’t money. Someday I’ll be able to donate... Anyway, looking forward to the next video!
it makes me think of how my brother and I play mmos. He plays as A Mage Dps and i a Samurai Tank, And this is kind of our dynamic, I can handle the problems long enough for him blow them away (IDK, the vídeo was Interesting for me)
Fruits de mer is Sea food to be specific. Ce petit moment en français m'a fait sourire, j'adore écouter des anglophones parler français. C'est relaxant étrangement.

You forgot to put the 2nd season of Black Butler in that bucket
What was wrong with season 2 though? Like isn't it just more of the same stuff but maybe a bit slower paced.
I wish there was a tsukihime anime.
Okay but still would love a third season for it. Especially over another season of SAO
“I’m gonna assume you’ve been good little children and have watched mmo junkie.” -!
“Have you been flossing?”- my dentist
“Yes”-me, totally not lying.
Laura Tatum watch the show already it’s goooooooood
Untrustworthy Bagel It’s on the list. Unfortunately, it’s a long list, and I have a short attention span.
Laura Tatum well if you’re ever burnt out on intense dramas or action shows, this is a good show to relax and follow. I’m not saying it can’t make you emotional, it’s just a lot calmer and more down to earth than most anime these days
Fair enough. Will do
Why would you lie to your dentist? They're a doctor trying to take care of your teeth.
When my dentist asks me I just say no and when they say I should I tell them I won't because I can't be arsed.
I’m pretty sure French Bryant declared war on me and my kin for the next ten thousand generations.
You're an Englishman aren't ya?
French bryant actually asked if he could be the one talking in the next video.
I honestly can't blame him OwO
dont worry about it man, he's french. he'll surrender the second you appear for a fight
No ! French people don't surrender that easily ! Look at the French Revolution, for example... Who won the hundred year war : France ! So it may not be the most bad ass army ever, it still hangs in there !
It's more that hayashi's kanji means a small Grove of trees while adding the third part on top makes it designate a whole, large forest. Possibly about how hayashi only shows a small part of morioka's traits
Kevin A Thanks fam
Dang, that's kinda deep and poetic
Jesus I laughed so hard when you spoke french ! Feels so good to finally hear someone who can pronounce basic words right.
And that singing "Merciii" at the end. Aaaah so good. A like from France bro !
Aste TeamEkstasy j’attend pour la vidéo présentée par Bryant Français. C’est dommage.

I had to pause the video halfway through to try and figure out what an emotional DPS or an emotional tank would be.
Timothy McLean someone who solves your problems for you and someone who uses themselves to shield you from your problems.
dude,you're starting to be fuckin everywhere man!! lol, we seem to be into a lot of the same shit...ya got good taste my man.
cobraglatiator to whom do you refer?
someone who damages you emotionally and someone who takes damage from you emotionally
Emotional teamkiller.
"Interpersonal connections"
It just HAD to be Shou Tucker. Did anybody ever tell you that you can be savage af?
GavinHohenheim LOOOL i was looking for someone who had noticed that!
Such a legend
If you wanna go by the literal translation for fruits de mer it's "Fruits of the sea" which in Europe includes but is not limited to shellfish
Just putting this out there but when I heard the phrase "...aren't able to excel" and you dropped a screenshot of Accel World I said out loud, dude you passed up a PERFECT place to reference Excel Saga! Then I remembered that talking to the tv makes one look crazy.

This anime was just adorable.
Thats it.
*Fucking Adorable*
Ikr. I just finished it like 10 minutes ago. I honestly can't fucking breathe. This show gave me heart cancer, but in a good way.
Haven't seen MMO Junkie yet, so had to stop when you called us out at 2 minutes in lmao, but I'm officially interested in it now ;D will save this video for the near future after a watch~
Checking in, did you watch it? Its a very good wholesome show
0:14 Sick burn!
I would totally play shellfish online over sword art online.
Probably a good choice, at least Shellfish online can't actively kill you for your failure to Dark Souls properly.
It's an MMO spinoff of splatoon where you get to play a bivalve rather than a cephalopod.
Nah IMMA RISK IT
I was a bad boi. I didn't watch Shellfish yet, but I will! Don't be mad at me. This second video has convinced me.
I love the Starkid references you throw into your videos now and again! makes me happy to see more people love their shows!
I could swear, Explanation Point, you're the most wholesome anituber on this site.
I appreciate that this essay is completely different from the Extra Credits episode of the same name. It's a different medium under the microscope, so perhaps that's inevitable, but I still find it amusing.
I literally had to stop the video to write this comment but YOUR CONNECTION OF PETSCOP WITH REBIRTH WAS SAVAGEEEE LOL TOO SOON
“Have a donut”
My next immediate thought?
“Jelly filled are my favorite”
Glorious, well articulated, and fucking hilarious
Hey, can i get the source of your profile picture?
I got distracted for about 30 seconds with that Night Vale reference
I would have guessed that Fruits de Mer meant Seafood.
Like, in Portuguese "Frutos do Mar" are basically any seafood. And at least in Spain I heard "Frutos del Mar/ Frutos de' Mar" used in the same way.
J'attends avec impatience la vidéo présentée par French Bryant :)
I love your description of MMOS: Alone but not lonely. That seems to fit almost all the multiplayer games I've ever played. topkek
12:19
You can’t just casually put that monster on screen. The rage I suddenly felt...
Wait, are we doing the *"Tsukihime HAS NO ANIME"* thing with *Log Horizon* too?
What do you mean??? Tsukihime has no anime
The only type moon adaptations that exist are from ufotable
YOU HEAR ME, ONLY UFOTABLE HAS DONE ANYTHING TYPE MOON!!1!1! DEEN-STAY NIGHT ISN'T A THING NOR IS TSUKIHIME
G'ah!
Raksh Well Dean Stay Night wasn’t awful for the time it released.
Inquisitor Thomas yeah, I'd say it even passable today but saying "The deen UBW movie" wouldn't be as snappy
In conclusion, Type-Moon adaptations are a land of contrasts.
"you watched MMO junkie first"
Me: Yes. Absolutely. Without a doubt. So could ya maybe explain anyway? Asking for a friend
I just realized something.... Morioka is basically adult Tomoko. I mean she's alot better off for sure, but somewhat similar.
That must be why I like this show so much.
Sweet, sensetive support class.
*Shows Medic (TF2)*
HA!
Man, I absolutely love your content. Your sense of humor is exactly what I need & the stuff you talk about is fun & interesting. Keep up the excellent work.

i see the entire anime just because of the first video u made on it... it was great!! 100% worth!
I got about 10 seconds in, stopped, watched all of MMO Junkie, and then finished the video.
It was well worth it.
Youre the first person to manage to get me to stop a video and immediately watch an entire anime before continuing the video. So congratulations. And thank you. Mmo junkie was fantastic.
I liked and now I’m commenting to increase the engagement score. French Bryant was excellent and I want more of him
Oh my god the picture of Aladdin (from the play Twisted: The Untold Story of A Royal Vizier) at 7:23 got me so excited like I literally jumped when I saw him. I know so few people that have seen that musical oh my god
God man, keep up the good work! I appreciate your Magic references and all your quirks together.
Man, I still can't get over seeing my mine in these videos. Keep doing what you're doing, my man! I wish I was more conversational in your Discord, but alas, I find myself spending less and less time on my own computer, because I always sit in front of one at work.
The only thing not perfect about this video is the lack of musical masterpieces. Seriously though, I loved you videos about MMO Junkie and your two music rants aswell.
Every time a twisted reference pops up in your I get that instant smile. thanks starkid
Oh man a new video from exclamation point!
I don't wanna play an MMO on an enemy, I mean, game controller.
as a frenchmen... actually it translates more to seafood
So does Froots De Mer hold the same connotation in French as "clam up" does in English? Of withdrawing into one's shell?
I think it has the same connotation as “shellfish”
Another amazing video Bryant keep up the good work!!!
Can't wait for the next update of your quarterly content!
Oh Braynt, I didn't come here without seeing it because I was looking for Analysis videos. I came here without seeing it because I was looking for you! :D
seriously I have no time I've been on overtime since November heeeeeelp....
Way to rock that regular schedule, Bryant.
Really good video again ExPoint. I am loving it.
Greed Island from Hunter X Hunter is one of the best anime MMOs but it was written before MMOs were popular.
We gotta kill that "hasn't watched Hunter x Hunter meme" first, but yes, Greed Island is great.
TyphoonZebra indeed
TyphoonZebra greed island is the only part of hunter x hunter I've watched and I liked it a lot. It was a fun arc and I really loved Biscuit
Titilayo Aderemi-Williams why haven't you watched the rest? Get on that. The chimera ant arc is awesome.
It took 5 seconds for the connection pun to sink in. Why am I watching this on my lunch break?
come on and slam and welcome to the ja'am
...
For real though, your analysis is always so well done and so well thought out that I can't wait for the few videos you put out. They're worth the wait, and this is no acception.
That skit with french briant is the funniest thing i have seen in a long time
Thank you for another great video!

Great job as always Bryant. You are a beacon in your field.
I love your style of videos, where you pile up images and stuff! Good job keep it up!!
Glad to see Jaam made it into the episode.
Oh, I've never thought about it until they were written out, but that's pretty clever. Hayashi means forest in Japanese. Mori also means forest but...bigger? I guess it's close to the difference between a wood and a forest. And the ko kanji in Moriko is generally used to suggest child.

That makes for a really interesting point of metaphorical comparison, I kind of love that!
Another awesome video. Can't wait till next month when you release another one : ^)
I have not seen MMO Junkie.
Maybe I'll watch it now!
Dude that was great great job
i was smiling when you said i was a good child until the donut part.
6:54 I'm a simple woman, I see Petscop, I like
2:05 a donut? oh gee, jelly-filled are my favorite!
Enemy Controller! "I pay 1000 Lifepoints and take control of your monster, Yugi!"
The American French accent is pretty funny to hear when I'm so used to native speakers.
Damn Petscop reference hit me hard...
I still feel quite literal rage in reference to supposed "Rebirthing" techniques...
Oh damn, Expoint uploaded.
i don't want to sound like a weirdo but the way he said that merci was very musical and pleasant-sounding
the video is great btw i have rewatched it like 5 times since it was posted
Excellent as usual, Exclamation Point. Quite frankly, I hadn’t realized about half of this (though I hadn’t given it that much thought). I’m honestly curious about your notes, but I’m poor and haven’t money. Someday I’ll be able to donate...
Anyway, looking forward to the next video!
"Interpersonal connections". Shows Shou Tuckers picture. You're a damn monster you know that.
Interpersonal connection as the chimera man shows up that's harsh but funny
Yay! You’re back!
This vid has convinced me to give the show a shot. Thanks for the fascinating perspective!
I just realized that french bryant said “I present your next video”
2:25
We used to call it god power but not any more ,we decided it needed a new name , this , is super saiyan blue
Can we talk about Koiwai's name for a bit? His name literally means "love celebration" that's adorable!
5:19 *PROFESSIONAL. ANIME. ANALYST.*
Also lol at that sinbad no bouken reference XD
Explain it like you mean it, Bryant.
"Good have a doughnut" shows Brock holding Onigiri. Ahhhhhh i lost my shit gotta love that Pokemon dub
I like how you mentioned the donut pokémon meme
Back to MAL to give that extra point now.
That "shellfish" translation though
it makes me think of how my brother and I play mmos. He plays as A Mage Dps and i a Samurai Tank, And this is kind of our dynamic, I can handle the problems long enough for him blow them away
(IDK, the vídeo was Interesting for me)
Once ran into a mmo character in WOW whose name was literally “fappmaterial”
Holy shit a UA-camr mentioned gender and they didn't get 9 million dislikes!? Please tell me it isn't still April Fools.
2:10 this video is the reason why I know MMO Junkie even exists
I binged the entire show after watching the first video
6:55 A theorist I see, I should have known
EP confirmed on team Peep, truly a worthy and honourable man!
14:34 Man, if you keep making videos, i'll run out of goats.
Fruits de mer is Sea food to be specific.
Ce petit moment en français m'a fait sourire, j'adore écouter des anglophones parler français. C'est relaxant étrangement.
Wait was that a starkid reference? You are my new favourite person. How?
Emotional damage per second...
My specialty
Interpersonal connections omf. Does that mean you've been watching FMA?
Hit that big fat like button - explanation point arrived!
the author of the light novel for this anime actually plays a mmo called mabinogi and based some of the light novel off of it.
