Nicobade said: So there are only 3 episodes to go now...and there seems to be virtually no build up to any climax...kind of worried for this series... Even if it does get a second season to continue on the story this seems like a bad way to end off a season. Quoating myself kaimax said: Can't really help it, both volume 6 and 7 are about the Minami Arc, and that's not done yet (roughly 8 episodes if it was made), so they can't just skip a whole volume because the build up for that is in Volume 5. Volume 5 is once again used as character, relationship and world building, and like most people say, it's the calm before the storm, with the first point is when the mysterious girl told the story of Shiroe and his Grand Magic. It's going to end on a big ass Cliffhanger seting up for the new arc for Volume 6 and 7. IF you're that easily worried just because one episode took a breather: Whole timeline of the Libra Festival (Fuck "Scale Festival"), AKA Volume 5 Mod Note: Spoiler removed. Even if it is within tags future plot points should not be revealed. You can say however, as some people have, that the remaining episodes are important foundation building for future story arcs. People going full retard just because one episode. facepalm... It's like they don't know the Writing style of Touno Mamare. |

| Found myself skipping a lot of this episode don't care for any romance in LH just isn't what i watch it for |
 |
| It was a nice relaxing episode after all the action from the goblin war. That cake buffet was hilarious. Minori is entering a bad route :/ I think she's just mistaking admiration for love. |
| I agree with some, only 3 eps left and we got this... Akatsuki was cute in kimono but Minori acting like a hurt girlfriend was totally out of space so IMO 2/5 this episode |
Duma said: I agree with some, only 3 eps left and we got this... You can't really say "3 eps left we got this". this is actually the production team just following it very closely to the books, but it's just that it coincided with the last 3 episodes available to the production. the problem is, there are several plot points that will be inserted in these peaceful times. And Once again, Touno Mamare balances his story telling, Volume 5 is back at character/relationship/world building. So, they're not making these last episodes just to reap in short term sugar rush action, but actually just following the proper build up from the book for the next Arc. |

| unlike the many epsiode before, this episode kinda rush, its not very feelsy and have a lot of strange things... Minori is really nice, she break the ice and keeps the conversation going, i can really see how awkward its feel when sitting with someone and saying nothing, such a pressure. Poor girl, but gotta love that line "Shiroe is mine!!" :p |
 |
| Wait. How old is Minori again? |
| So long as you yourself enjoy it, what does the thoughts of others matter to you? |
| "This is a problem. What should I do?" - Quite an understatement Shiroe. xD For a moment, I thought Akatsuki would actually let Henrietta dress her. Good thing she didn't. Henrietta would probably have selected something ridiculous. Kanako giving them whole cakes instead of slices in exchange for letting Shiroe take two girls in. xD "I'd rather fight a dozen raid bosses at once!" - Unfortunately, MMORPG combat tactics are useless here. xD |
| I felt my heart tear when I saw Minori heartbroken at the end. But then it all turned out ok :) Great episode, good change of pace after being in a deep arc. Few episodes left! |
| Didn't really like this episode at all. I'm not a big fan of Akatsuki and was glad that she hadn't been very prominent in recent episodes. Then they dump a huge stinking load of Akatsuki crap right in my lap. It felt like filler, and not a very wise use of time when we only have 3 episodes left. Dislike dislike dislike. 1/5 |

| I just dont get it. Maoyu Maou Yuusha, another story/anime by Mamare Touno, had an entire cast of ADULT women and here Log Horizon is with a damned love triangle between a ~25-yo guy, a ~25-yo woman with a body smaller than middle-schooler, and an ACTUAL middle-schooler. Just, what the hell, man... |
 |
| HenriettaxShiroe seems the most natural, but I ship our Villain in Glasses with our little role-playing ninja. I want to see more character development with Akatsuki *^* |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Some of the people posting saying "anime ruined" or "dropped" really leave me speechless. These are the same type of people who say an anime is ruined if it doesn't follow its source material, but when log horizon does it, they complain that is filler and garbage. It's almost like they complain for the sake of complaining |

Before this episode came out there were 4 more episodes before the end of the season and they just wasted one. It's definitely not a reason to drop the series, especially this late, but it was no doubt the worst episode to date. 1/5 |

However I would like to point out that should they omit this episode, some of the the future developments will become more out of placed. Furthermore, I am kind of glad they had this episode since it is a relaxed episode apart from the whole plot they had going before, there was a risk that should they continue, it might seem as if they are dragging the problem but this is just my 2 cents |
| Anime gave me more life lessons than school |
| Im just still surprised they are not mentioning how they wanna go back to their world or even find a way,it feels so strange. Episode was good,4/5 dongers. |
 |
| Minori needs to back the fuck up from Shiroe. Akatsuki x Shiroe niqqa |
| What are you looking here for |
| I really felt bad for Minori, but I'm not sure how i feel about a middle school girl having a thing for a college student. /shrug |
My Candies:     |
| I wanted to smack Minori when she said "Shiroe-san is mine!" After that I alternated between derisive laughter and annoyance. |
| I didn't mind this episode being uneventful and actually liked it up until Minori revealed that she likes Shiroe. Normally I'm not against romance elements regardless of it being taboo or not, but it just seems off. Guess I'll see what they plan to do with it, but I really did prefer it when it was just her admiring Shiroe in an apprentice/master relationship and trying to follow in his footsteps. |
 |
| Interestin love triangle |
| I loved Shiroe and Henrietta interaction this episode. I hope they get together in the end. I enjoyed this episode. 4/5 |
| Even though I don't think it'll happen.. I'm still rooting for Minori. TwT |

It's almost like they complain for the sake of complaining I agree with you on this. It's only because THEY don't like the episode. It doesn't even matter whether it's from the source material or not. Apparently "different" means "filler." All that aside, I'm actually annoyed by Minori. I don't usually like to "pair" characters or whatever, but for this show I don't want to see Minori "with" Shiroe. If nothing else, the age difference is a bit high--though, as some of you mentioned, Minori might be more mature than the average girl her age. But still, I was at least okay with her until she straight up said Shiroe was hers. I'm looking forward to the last three episodes and I'm curious to know how they're going to close this season. |

Just, what the hell, man... Well, that's because the setting in Maoyuu was in an "adult world". This is more closer to reality as an MMO doesn't have strict age restriction. I don't want to comment about your love preference, but hey everybody is free to love other people. Does Shiroe feel the same thing towards both woman? Well, that's up to him, but currently he's just treating them as friends. And honestly, people need to stop with talking about the age of consent, because they're not in Japan anymore. I honestly don't mind if a middle-schooler actally loves me, but in the end it's how I react to her feelings not about the love itself. |

| LMAO I had figured Minori had some silly crush on Shiroe from the previous preview and Akatsuki making a jelly face. I mean how old is Minori anyway? Some middle school chick? No please to the lolism, thank you . Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything from the 3 remaining episodes to come but I do wonder what kinda last arc they'll squeeze in those 3 episodes. Mod Edit: Quote of deleted spoiler removed. |

| I've been expecting these kinds of reactions even before the ep aired and anime fans and MAL posters sure didn't disappoint lol. I won't debate w/ anyone or counter some posts anymore since it'll be futile. Just let me point out that this ep IS! NOT! FILLEEEEEEEEEEEER! The thing w/ LH is that everything becomes a plot point. Even things like romance. Anyway if some people don't like it then they're free to drop it. No harm in that. Oh, and I've been trying to hold myself back but let me just point out as well that hating on a character like Minori because she "will get in the way of the AkatsukixShiroe ship" sounds really lame and immature. It's a first crush guys. You've had that experience too right? It isn't really her fault that she fell in love w/ him. I mean I'll listen to arguments that point out her character faults as the reason to hate her but the above reason just borders on juvenile. |
Pervert-kun said: Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything from the 3 remaining episodes to come but I do wonder what kinda last arc they'll squeeze in those 3 episodes. It's mainly about the things happening in Libra Festival (Fuck Scale, that name is lame). It's not really an Arc, but a set up for the next arc, and establishing facts and relationships. -This is going to be the first event that actually has both the Landers and Adventures actively "co-existing". -As Shiroe said in this episode, he's still trying to get any info about things happening in Minami, this will be subtly shown until the last episode of the season. -As seen in the episode, this will establish how close Minori and Akatsuki to Shiroe, and Shiroe's response to their feelings. Also serves as a character development later for Akatsuki. |

| Okay so people are jealous that Shiroe is a lolicon or at least attracts lolicons LOL Aww Minori cried (◞‸◟；) Overall was such a cute episode though ♡＾▽＾♡ |
| Shiroe is a loli playboy haha |
 |
| Oh FFS many people bitching and loathing this anime just because there's a romance development ? it's just like saying "omg LH has romance guys and that girl is going emo so now this anime sucks d*ck" |

Old_Raven said: Harem? 2 women --actually 1 woman and 1 child-- is hardly a harem. Its a love triangle. I actually count Henrietta as the dark horse candidate. Then including Kanami, that Tea Party member Shiroe always thinks about. Also, considering the hate this series is starting to get because of romance and harems (ala SAO) just wait until the final episode. That will get your knickers in a twist. Though people I could understand have grown tired of the Japanese market pandering, I'm feeling a sort of interest in seeing these kinds of reactions after enduring the SAO love a year and a half ago. :) |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Several significant plot spoilers have been edited out. Don't spoil. It can be considered trolling. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Shipping wars really came true. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| lol at all the ****hurts... first off, the goblin king is not the main point of this arc, it will be solved next season with a bang this arc is mainly setting for season 2, where we get a new antagonist (?) and few problems, which are already mentioned (well not explicitly, not gonna spoil here) akatsuki's character is sadly one dimensional, when you think about it, this arc will let her realize it and it will probably solved next season. tl, dr: this is only a setting up for the next season. dont expect any action, but a tensing up. EDIT: to the poster above me, yeah... didnt realize so many would fuss over it |

| 5/5 Episode usable, better to talk about other things that come up out of whole cloth that were not put on paper! A good time to talk about the characters and give them more depth and define the contexts! Drawings not bad, same for animations. I was already prepared for a possible end of the season made it "maybe" episodes like this today, but I do not complain if they are well made. I look forward to the announcement of the second season. * _ * |
 |
| The episode is completely fail ( Do not make the stupid harem of this anime please! I'd like to watch serious fantasy show and not "romantic" bullshit |
| This was a filler episode, very much a filler. Shiroe showing his evil side by telling Soujirou to try the cake eating competition. If I counted right his party would have to eat 8 x 4 = 32 whole cakes! Hope they show it in the next episode XD Oh, and can someone please help me make a gif of Akatsuki rolling back and forth on the tatami mats and pm me the link? I think a whole host of moments in this episode were gif worthy, but that moment was the best of the lot. Full Yandere moment. So fun XD Hrm... is it just me, or can I not add pictures directly on my posts anymore? The ones I upload don't seem to work (and I am following the bbcode to a T as well...T.T) A little help would be appreciated... |

| Watch out guys we got a love triangle over here. Damn you melodrama. Hope there's a epic battle soon and some more badass Krusty moments to compensate. |
| Finally an episode with more romance in it. Damn... 2 lolis going after Shiroe. Lucky guy. Haha all the rage from the couples. Fat Shiroe after eating the cakes was epic. Definitely rooting for Shiroe x Akatsuki. Though I feel kinda bad for Minori. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
