Line #17 ShoutOut/LogHorizon


1	* [[Manga/KOn Debauchery Tea Party]].
2	* See TastesLikeChicken, below.
3	* In their journey to Susukino, Shiroe's party traverse the [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Palm's Deep]].
4	* The name of Hamelin, a guild [[spoiler: notorious for luring and extorting unwitting beginner players]], is a clear shout-out to ''Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin''.
5	* Kanami's spinoff is an extended reference to ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'', except in reverse, with Kanami travelling overland eastward to Yamato/Japan. Indeed, her party's composition mirrors's Xuanzang companions, with Coppelia filling the role as the monk, Kanami as Wukong, Elias as the pig, Leonardo as the kappa, and KR as the white horse.
6	* Speaking of Kanami's spinoff, one of her companions is a walking and talking nod to Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles: An American two-sword wielding Assassin wearing a mask named Leonardo, who yells "COWABUNGA" as his battlecry and his favorite food is pizza (changed into sushi in vol. 9 proper).
7	* In the West Wind Brigade's spinoff, Soujirou gets so excited about Elder Tales becoming reality that he briefly turns [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan]]. Also, he tried to using [[Manga/OnePiece Santoryu style]] with [[Anime/RurouniKenshin Kenshin Himura's]] trademark cross-shaped scar.
8	** Soujirou himself is also a shout out to Seta Soujirou from ''Anime/RurouniKenshin''. Further, his blue haori is a clear nod to the iconic jackets of the [[UsefulNotes/TheShinsengumi Shinsengumi]], whose member Okita Souji was the character basis for Seta Soujirou.
9	* Raynesia in her armor; her name and armor is reminiscent of Valkyrie Lenneth from ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile''. (See also SpellMyNameWithAnS below.)
10	* During the pub scene with Nyanta and Serara, you can see [[Literature/{{Maoyu}} Maou, Yuusha, and Onna Kishi]] on the left, along with a blue recolored [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Suguha]].
11	* Susukino, the Adventurer City to the north of Akihabara, is regularly assaulted by [[Manga/AttackOnTitan frost giants]] that try to break down its walls. [[spoiler: Silver Sword has the fun job of fighting them off.]]
12	** That they're in the north, and the enemies outside the walls are ice-related, also makes this a double reference to ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''.
13	* Shiroe and Nyanta look like Ovan and Mia respectively from ''Franchise/DotHack''.
14	* A number of monsters are shout-outs, like the "[[Literature/TheDayOfTheTriffids Triffid]]" plant monster.
15	* The name of the twelfth expansion pack, Homesteading the Noosphere (it's NOT [[BlindIdiotTranslation Novasphere Pioneers]]), is simultaneously a reference to both the concept "Noosphere" and another essay titled "Homesteading the Noosphere".
16	* One of the Chinese server's characters, Chun-Lu, is clearly a ShoutOut to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Chun Li]].
17	* The EyeCatch for episode 19 of Season 2 shows a red circle being formed, then just as it finished, one of the ghost-like Nightshade Servants pops up in it and [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} a slash goes across it]].
18	* Leonardo at one point thinks of "the world's ultimate heroes", and the names he lists are [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony who was "bursting with the engineer spirit"]], [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] and ComicBook/DoctorStrange.
