THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ah nice development this episode.

Don't mess with other guild members~
I liked Toya's bravery there as well. This whole talk relating to Crescent Moon is pretty intense. I like how Shiroe is also respected.

Those pkers piss me off. I hope that kid can keep his promise though.

lol @ their "inside conversation" (does that count as the private conversation in online game? Or just personal thoughts?) during the deal with Nobu's character = the merchant. Deals stage (lol @ glasses fix count on justin.tv chat?). And those face changes.

The story of how they joined the guild, including attack from that evil guild that the main fought before.

New character again, Hino-san! Final stage coming soon and siblings also about to fight back.

Not much action in this one (mainly the negotiations), hoping to see more in the next.

The negotiations were unexpectedly thrilling and interesting. I felt S&W vibe.

IT's all important with negotiations!
Shiroe with all respect and Minori & Toya will try to fight as well.
Probably a discussion to change the world and fight against this evil guild.

The pace of anime is normal but still I wish it could be faster. :D

no no, you don't want it to be faster tbh, this is the perfect pace for Log Horizon right now. The show is more about strategy and management than you think it is about battles.

That aside, perfect episode. And you know what comes next: freakin' CLIMAX!!

Looking forward to seeing what else he has in store. Always nice watching these small mind games.

Loved it. Shiro is much more famous than I first thought. Again, makes me want to know more about Tea Party >.<...'Villain in glasses'. I wonder what he did to be nicknamed that lol.

Loved the negotiation and the chibi thought forms XD Henrietta's skills are top level hehe...No wonder Shiro entrusted everything to her ^^ They got the 4.5 million they wanted :D...I feel bad for Akatsuki, but Henrietta deserves some Akatsuki cuteness to recharge after what she went through. She deserves it XD
Marie's business smiling battle was lol...Poor Marie XD

I also found Minori and Touya's parts pretty nice. Good to see they're not just waiting for Shiro and being dependent on others. Some good resolve they developed there.

Well, can't wait for nxt ep. A round table conference between the main guild leaders :D Should be awesome and now it's Shiro's turn to fight ^^

And I agree with Dowson, this is the perfect pacing right now :D

Great episode! So much glasses touching!

Henrietta's negotiation skill iis top level. She pretty much had the other three guild masters wrapped around her finger all according to plan. She worked so hard she definitely deserves at least a week with Akatsuki.

Looks like something big is going to happen at Hamelin. Mutiny? Escape? Hope Toya and Minori can finally be safe. I've been wondering, can't they just select "Leave Guild" or is there no option to do that?

Can't wait for next week, it's Shiroe's turn! Also, this show has a knack for getting the timing right to play that awesome ED.

I guess there is an option for that, but someone has stated in previous episodes discussion that light novel(is it LN?) explained much better about how they were being forced to stay in a guild.

Usually though, I've never seen MMO where leaving guild is harder than pressing 2 buttons.

It should however, from logic perspective, be obvious that leaving a guild filled with PKers in such a world would have harsh consequences. They'd be unable to leave town without getting targeted.

There isn't much action in Log Horizon. And there's almost zero in this arc. Next one should have a bit more though.

There were a few fights here and there so far (Mainly PKers) which is what I would like to see but so far it's all about their plan to change Akihabara. Though I feel that the negotiations are necessary to put their plan (which hopefully brings about more action) in motion.

Can anyone that has read the LN tell me in PM if it's revealed what shiroe needs the gold for? I have an idea that it has something to do with the bank building seeing how last episode mentioned 1) all buildings can be sold for high prices 2)new 'rules' can be made 3)how the episode ending with him standing in front of the building. I'm not sure what would be the benefit maybe he gets a percentage of gold deposited or can even adjust that percentage himself.

Epic nego episode.
Man Shiroe is such a legend! Everybody thats important know him..
Man can't wait for next week.! The battle begins! for shiroe that is.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

if you dont like people talking using their brain or people talking to building up story, and you prefer action anime you should drop Log Horizon.
i'm already finished 4th volume of Log Horizon LN. Log Horizon is not action anime at all. at least 6 eps from next week will be all talking (politics, economy, mystery about the world) if you expect action you will hate this show. but i love it. fucking epic story

The most interesting thing is that negotiation was very thrilling. That was completely surprising for me. And the conference, that will change the Akihibara, will be held in the next episode. My god, I just can't wait for the next week :D

The anime direction and writing is fantastic. The whole episode was a discussion at a table, and I was so interested and excited about it.

This anime has made me relive moments of excitement that I haven't had with anime in quite a while. It's such a nice thing to experience.

Looking forward to the next episodes

This is a great episode IMO, basically about the negotiations and the twins development view.

The negotiations of the ingredients can be quite difficult for the Crescent Moon, but the Villain in Glasses sure knows how to plan things ahead XD. Time to save Minori and Touha from the tyranny of their guild.

Getting heavy S&W vibes here. All this careful planning and the even more careful negotiations (like, getting the better of the other guilds without antagonizing them).

While I wish there was a little more action, I think a good heated debate on this level is better than a bad fight.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Great episode! I loved the negotiations, it was actually very exciting in a way to watch it go through. They did a great job making the other three agree to work with them. I wonder how they'll react when they find out that it's not really a quest. Next episode's conference seems intense, looks like everyone is interested in what Shiroe has in mind.
