| Nureha, Nureha, Nureha...... Have yet to read the LN, and from just this meager 5 minute appearance I'm already in love with this character! It was so bad that NHK censored so much stuff, I would have loved to see a fully unedited version of her sob story being played out in full. Would have given this anime a bit more of an Oomph, don't you think? That said, I'm plenty excited how things have panned out. and the fact that they ended with the announcement that Season 2 is on the way THIS YEAR was an added bonus. I sure hope that Kanami makes it back to Japan in the next few LNs, then we might get to see her interact with the other Tea Party members in S2. Marves (Ryuuk) got his arse handed to him splendidly! I loved how the Round Table members all bullied him into submission. The deal with Nureha set up the sequel plenty nicely, and hopefully next time around we get to see more of the adventuring, questing and fighting portions (since Shiroe is dragging Log Horizon out of town, I'm totally expecting it.) Then that revelation near the end that Shiroe had found a possibility to get back to their old world, that totally popped out of nowhere! Not even the viewers had an inkling about that! All in all I'm plenty satisfied, but at the same time I wish Season 2 was out already. Thank god there are a few Summer animes coming out to fill in this space, albiet temporarily. Nothing beats Log Horizon, nothing! |

| Well that Malves and his escorts were booted out quick That creepy smile of Shiroe at the end looked like it was coming from "Madoka" The scenes of Nureha and Shiroe were great it added a lot of mystery to it Too bad the gorgeous battles were only shown at the end Hurray for a second season coming this fall! |
| I really enjoyed the most of the season. I just felt it was a little weak in the middle of the season with too much screentime given to the noob gang. I really appreciate the fact that they include elements of politics in the show which gives it another layer of depth over your typical action shounen. Looking forward to the next season. |
| Looking forward to the second season^^ |

| Meh, that was a bit underwhelming. Log horizon was pretty good for what it was but a lot of it *cough cough* Shiore X Akatsuki/Minori felt way to forced in a way that I just didn't like at all. That fox girl at the end look pretty cute and probably the only female I liked looks wise in that whole show honestly. My main problem with the series was Shiroe because of his personality which kinda reminds me of myself in some ways. Pretty much this show boiled down to "Log Horizon" derpping around for no real reason only to have every other girl they meet just fall head over heals in love with Shiroe despite him being a complete bastard most of the time. Idk, I didn't hate it, in fact I enjoyed it, but something just didn't sit well with. The ending made me quickly think back through the show and I can quickly pick out quite a few things that just irritated me...oh...and that same old slap stick humor that they have been using the whole show. It wasn't funny the first time and it just got more annoying each time. OK, I just figured it out what never sat well with me this whole show. Shiroe is pretty much like some sort of Light (Kira) or Lelouch but was way less grand/epic and had no real sense of direction. He was always sitting on the fence and he can't really seem to figure out who or what he is. That was the whole problem with the show, everything felt like it was pointless 1 way or another. We saved a little girl, YAY! We have burgers that taste normal, YAY! I bought a building, created a round table and forced people to do as I say, YAY! We brought the city to life, YAY! We went to meet with these People of the Land and got nowhere except a princess, YAY! I made a new super spell that can turn any People of the Land into "Adventurers", YAY! See my point yet? Why did they do all of that? It was 1 weak reason after another that just lead to an eventual cliff hanger "season 2 in fall" moment. |

I also felt my liking towards log horizon slowly fading after the romance thing showed up. The first few episodes was great, since there's action in it, but then meh. |
| Well, S2 makes up for a rather anti-climactic ending episode. The series was pretty good when it started out and during the ending, the "only" problem was the middle section of about 12-14 episodes where it just went about talking politics stuff. I wish someone would do justice to the trapped in the virtual reality thing, this was mediocre for the most part. Akatsuki was probably the only reason I finished it. 5/10. |
| A huge plot character has joined the overall picture :3 and it seems he's really heading the harem way hehehe :p Well this sure was an interesting last episode for the first season and as thought it was way too open but it's good that a second season is announced already and I'm sure looking forward for it! The bon festival definitely was a nice touch to finish up the festival but a whole lot of story has yet to be told. I must say that I rather liked it yet expected a bit more in the actual development and revealing on how they got trapped in the first place but hopefully we'll see that in the second season or so. One thing is sure that this is quite a good anime, with some lovely characters, great development and some quite lovely action combined with some comedy! All by all a very good anime! 8/10 |

Once more, Why are there people so fixed upon on them getting out of the game? What makes them think that Getting out from the game makes it a much better story? Why do you like escapism so much? |

Lets face it, even if we talk about the battle and tactics there was nothing grand or special about it. It is seriously just like any old mmorpg which personally I don't enjoy. deenszx said: dobinz said: best example of people who missed every points the anime made. Totaly agree with you. "Accidents aren't scary" "What's scary is getting angry" "The flow of battle isn't something you read" "you must become the flow" Most of people who like this anime because they become the "flow" Wise word from Shiroe lol The "flow"? What flow? The flow of the anime? If its that then count me out. This show had so much difficulty finding and keeping its stride that it was laughable. Finding a good pace and keeping is important imo. As for the "flow" of battle, well, I could go on about that for quite some time. More or less, everything about the story, humor, and battle is recycled over and over. I get it, I do. MMORPG's are like that, and I have nothing against someone for liking that sort of stuff, I just find it to be lame, just as a lot of these little (or rather large depending how you look at it) things I've noted so far. |

| Can't wait for the season 2 in fall 2014 >.<. That fox girl I wonder if her love for shiroe is true or she just want shiroe for his knowledge about elder tale. Loved the part when shiroe embarrased that noble. |

Lets face it, even if we talk about the battle and tactics there was nothing grand or special about it. It is seriously just like any old mmorpg which personally I don't enjoy. u still dont get it. since my eng is very bad I will point out only few topic u missed. "We saved a little girl, YAY! We have burgers that taste normal YAY!" that was the first arc of the anime and it's point is to shows how players are adapt to the world. because now they are living in DATABASE. no way out and still no idea how they got in here. it's not like in SAO where u know exactly how people got in the game and then once you know u are trapped the game creator pop up and tell everyone how to get out of SAO. SAO players has their goal set since start point is to beat the game and get the hell out of there. While Elder Tale players has no slightly idea how they got in the game(because it's normal PC game not VR game,DUH), not to mention finding the way out. it''s completely hopeless. so what can they do? living eats sleep. now it's where the problems come. some people chose to live their fantasy be an overlord not caring about old world (Demikus?), some cry and sleep on a street , some step up and do something(Shiroe is the best example here). there are even some people that has better life here (Nureha, Touya). problem is people like Demikus cause other people a problem. u know why they have to save Serara and why Demikus want her so bad? in the anime might not point it out so obvious, some people might wonder why Demikus want low level healer while they forget the simple fact why men want women. it's sexual harassment. Demikus tried to make Serara his Sex Slave. that's first "point" of the anime. the world with no rule come with chaos. second step u eat! now what. foods taste like shit. now u have to live in the world that u cant "die" and u have to eat foods that taste like shit for next 1000 years or maybe forever. food with good taste could change many things not to mention that the cooking method lead to creation of world class magic in the future. see the points here? no? u are too hopeless then. bye fix my grammar if u want. i will be glad. Don't sweat the grammar, I'm no Nazi. I get what the show was about and how it all worked. I even said that I enjoyed it, its just certain aspects of it were lacking or dumb imo. Its not like a show needs to have a point for me to enjoy it, I like almost anything. Our opinions obviously differ and that is fine. There really isn't much to "get" since its pretty much explained out right. Anyway, you can think what you'd like and I'll think what I like, its really that simple. |

| I am sad that it took me all 25 episodes to figure out that this series is not my cup of tea. With a protagonist that is supposed to be a genius strategist, too much time was spent on trivial shit like indirect romance. It had a great start and even though I realized it was moving away from what it started out to be, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I believe it is purely for 8-14 year olds. |

What will you do if I say that the romance only appears in one volume, which is only 3 episodes in the whole anime, including the next season 2. Do people really need a spoiler to stay interested? And Why do you think that the story can't change directions again? |

| Great anime, will miss it sooo much. Waiting fror the season 2 now. 9/10 |
 |
| Does anybody know if there is any place where volume 7 of the LN is translated or at least some of it ? |
| Yep there are still so many things unxplained like the relationship between Shiroe and Kanami then the fox girl named Nureha and will they be able to come back to the real world? but no worries, season 2 is in the air ! this fall will be the best season ever because GGO might aired in Fall as well who knows, i'm so looking forward to it .. super excited I'd give 9/10 for the first season. |
 |
| Wait, wait Can someone who's reading the LN tell me if Shiroe and Akatsuki became/ or will become canon? It's cause this show was getting pretty 'shippy' in the last few episodes and since there's a new season (praise the otaku fandom) I seriously need to know who the hell is officially canon with Shiroe? Minori or Akatsuki? And I found how a high schooler cock blocking Akatsuki whom is the same age as Shiroe kinda pointless. It sort of urks me to ask WHYY!? Why is that even needed? Wouldn't it have been better if Minori stepped up and only admired him. Bah Whatever. May a good soul reply back to me. 9/10 |

calmfu said: Wait, wait Can someone who's reading the LN tell me if Shiroe and Akatsuki became/ or will become canon? No one knows, but The next 2 volume is back to action and world development. In the next season, the first Arc is going to focus on Akatsuki and her story to get stronger in character and strength. the Next Arc which happens almost at the same time, follows Shiroe back to Susukino to investigate a dungeon.

| I'm gonna miss the DATABASE DATABASE DATABASE DATABASE DATABASE UH WOAH OOOHHH |
 |
| Can't say that I really enjoyed this series. For an anime to be set in a game world I sort of expected more action, questing, boss fights etc. Rather than the players building their own society. Also, I really want to know why they are stuck in this game, which we have yet to know. Characters definitely had their own personalities shown, but lacked development in my opinion. I give this series a 6.5/10 |
 |
| It would be nice to occasionally show people being worried about where exactly they are. They know it's not a game, because they didn't use VR, but thats basically all. It's not about them *getting* back or even the struggle, it's just that currently there is no real point in the MMO part. It does try to do away with questions like "what was before the adventures showed up" or "why was there no actual government" etc. Especially the first question still applies: The People of the Land must at least think they have a history of hundreds if not thousand years. A history that explains why they had no goverment of any kind at the time the adventures showed up. Neither king nor council or anything. It is easily explained how things came to be like they are when the world was created as an image of Elder Tale the moment they appeared, but what do the People of the Land actually think they were doing the year before at the time of the festival? Except for such things i totally love Log Horizon. Shiro getting rid of Malves not because he is causing trouble to the city etc., but simply because he isn't letting the princess go. What did they actually need her for anyways? Only to put her on that bench? |
deenszx said: It was because they are enjoying what they have and a bit current challenge will deviate them from bringing the matter of the old world. Same thing I've tried telling to the people demerit the show just because: -They're not trying to "go home" -They don't show the "Real world" And all of them failed to reply to my questions.. >_> ELDER TALES is Fuckin beautiful. I wouldn't want to try to get out if it was me. REAL LIFE is the shitiest game. |

Do people really need a spoiler to stay interested? And Why do you think that the story can't change directions again? I will be very interested if that was the case. I absolutely loved the first 6 or so episodes until they came in contact with that friendly guild with Miss Blonde Boobies as the guild leader. If there is one thing that is a huge turn off for me, it is fan service. From that point onwards the fan service seemed to have become the main focus and the witty strategist took a backseat. There were a lot of politics involved, but I did not care for half of it as it did not seem compelling. Right now I gave the anime a 6/10 rating as there were several characters with significant screen time that annoyed me. |
| Aww yeeeah I was so happy when Shiroe slapped that... fox-girl thing? A bit disappointed that there's beginnings of a Harem for Shiroe. They just aren't my thing. Neither is 14 year olds going for college students. Well, I hope they get over this nonsense next Season. My favourite parts of Log Horizon was the strategy, and pretty much all of Shiroe's badass moments. Hope there's more of that to come next Season! Can't wait till Season 2! |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Beautiful just beautiful still a cliffhanger but still great i`m looking forward to season 2 soon 9/10 for me... |
 |
| Great.. This was so great anime At least I enjoyed this so much (Especially that devilish smile or Loli ninja xD) Now I know that inside a MMORPG there are not only just quests/battles There's also politics xD After 25 episodes.. I think, maybe Log Horizon's motto was like this : "Reality can go to hel*. We could life inside the game so... Like I care about real world" Peace Peace ^^V Season 2 OP & ED... If both of them are the same as season 1 I would gladly accept it xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Freaking Epic Anime!!! It blew my expectations even though I already had them set high when I first started watching it! It's also unbelievable we get a 2nd season so very soon. It really makes me want to go play WOW again. haha. |
| Awesome anime. Love it quite a lot. I only rated it 9/10 because I was really interested on how and why they got stuck in the game. Unfortunately that was not told in this season so maybe the next one will clear this fact too. Can't wait for it! I also want to see them meet up irl. |
