For those poeple crying "ACTION! ACTION!" these past few eps be prepared for... more talks and politics next ep. Honestly peeps mindless action just isn't how Mamare Touno lays his plot. There is action but it's very sporadic and concise. Even this upcoming war w/ the goblins and sahuagins would have very concise battles. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they crammed it in one ep. The main battle and not w/ Minori and party. W/c is very doable mind you. It wouldn't take much out of the whole narrative. Point is this series was adapted from a light novel w/c is more plot and character driven than anything else. Do not expect this to be a straight up "Shounen" battle series cause it honestly isn't. And if you can't stand that then there's the door... I might be being a little harsh here but honestly I don't really think you'll find anything more to like after this arc so might as well spare you some yawns (and us facepalming while reading these "More action!!!" comments every ep). As far as I know they are those NPCs that prevents the players PK in town like in some MMOs. no, those are the city guardians, knight of izumo are on a whole different level. though it was already mentioned in the anime what happened to them, just rewatch the last few episodes |

| Rather than defending, they're going to attack them... It's not exactly a "Horizon solution", but it could even be the better choice IRL. Kutuzov used such, for example. To him (unlike with many contemporary generals and historians) Borodino wasn't a battle to "defend Moscow", it was a battle to "inflict much damage upon the invaders". In the end it worked, sort of. It was the bloodiest single-day battle during the Napoleonic Wars, and considered a Pyrrhic victory for the French, a tactical one, but definitely not a strategic one. Prior to the battle, the French outnumbered the Russians, but after the battle (and once Moscow was given up) the Russians were able to erase the deficit due to the mobilization of more units finally being completed. But the Russians never really outnumbered the French even with the much reduced numbers of the invaders. This I think is where Kutuzov's thinking will be panning out in the next few episodes as well. He never looked for another pitched battle like Borodino during the French retreat (although there were two key encounters and several skirmishes by roving Russian units) but in the end got what he wanted, the invaders out of Russia. Back to Log Horizon, they certainly won't be looking for a head-on collision with the goblins (because of the concept of "mass", can't really do anything about it even with the levels/skills gap). Instead they'll do much damage (but not really a "kill all of them") and be able to kill the Goblin king. Still though it's just me thinking aloud. I definitely don't know what happens next. |

| The OP song matches this episode at last That raid at the start! Too bad they didn't animate much of that fight The goblin king sounds like a nice endboss Shiroe dropping the memory loss information was right on Crusty's response on that was excellent Minori has really really stepped up as a strategist Best defense is the offense! Looks like Lenessia is going to crawl out of her shell as well next |
| Finally they added a reason for drama. |

Intrusion said: Ummm... so what happened when Rudy said that he can't add the girl? did they just graze over his response? lol I bet that's why she reacts so strongly whenever Rudy suggests they protect the town. She knows, and she doesn't want him to go. |
| Looks like Minori is embracing Shiroe's ways! Someone give that girl glasses :) |
| This episode started adapting vol.04 of the LN, so I went ahead and read the whole thing and.. oh boy was it awesome! I'm pretty excited I would say. |

| minori for whatever reasons just annoys the hell outta me. maybe it's her voice or how oblivious/helpless she seems. oh well at least she's trying? |

Samneillium said: Am I the only one that was a little annoyed by how quickly they seemed to shrug off an entire town being wiped out? You just went full retard... How the hell could you mistake that for a town? It was an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. |
| So Rusty has died twice and lost some of his memories? :o Did not expect that. Looking forward to the next episode :) PaleBlue said: Intrusion said: Ummm... so what happened when Rudy said that he can't add the girl? did they just graze over his response? lol I bet that's why she reacts so strongly whenever Rudy suggests they protect the town. She knows, and she doesn't want him to go. Yea she was acting pretty strange so I'm guessing he really isn't an adventurer. |

| The memory thing sounds alot more severe than I imagined it. I thought it was just minor stuff. They should keep diaries just in case and write stuff about their old world so if they forget, they can figure out what was forgotten. |
| Great episode. Minori stepping up to the plate to become another Shiroe. |
| Weird for them to always refer to it as "the other world" Why not be more specific? There really needs to be more discussion of how they are going to get out of the game |

Barion-Zara said: dobinz said: since Krusty can't remember his cat name plot twist: Nynta is actually Krusty's cat lol XD -shrug- I used to think that Rudy might have been a dog pawing random keys on a keyboard at the time of the Apocalypse. Not really plausible since he knows how to speak Japanese and (some) English. o.o ColdXClue said: Those kids or naive because what adventure does quest for no reward. If you were in a mmo where dieing teleported you away from everyone. Would you do quest just for the fun of it no you wouldn't. This isn't an MMO for them. It's effectively a real world, and the only world they've got for the foreseeable future. About quests: There's something I don't get: If Adventurers wanted quests so they could get rewards like the magic bag, and People of the Land wanted Adventurers to do their quests, why was there a problem? As for the Goblin King quest, I can think of a few reason's why -that- one wasn't done: lack of long distance transport, and lack of in-game reminders that it was that time of the year again. About Rudy: Bit disappointing that we didn't get an answer on Rudy's case. Maybe Isuzu got an answer already though, and we'll get it next episode. O.o? About memory loss: Even if an Adventurer lost nearly all memory of Earth, they wouldn't lose their combat ability, right? I recall Adventurers' combat ability far exceeded that of NPCs. About Izumo Knights: "Izumo Knights" are "Precursors", right? About combat pacing: The only way I see the final battle being completed in one episode is if the Goblin King is assassinated, shattering the morale of every other goblin, and forcing their retreat. |
| 5/5 Good idea of the plot, to introduce this sudden attack Goblin, why has not complied with certain rules of the game in a manner befitting. Not only from a sense of history in general, but also by way of explaining things of secondary importance (?) That make it more enjoyable and intriguing history, as far as I'm liking this anime series. Reflexive narrative, while not changing the general attitude that we have seen so far, or almost all the time is used to baste a strategy and only at the end is the most exciting part, however, what I do not get bored, I like it. The only flaw the designs are too rough. Rudy MC of the episode along with Minor and Shiroe! |

Log Horizon is government funded, they don't have much of a budget to work with. |
Blackbird said: Minori become more like Shiroe now ! |
 |
| Really cool. Minori's turning into a little Shiroe now =D |
 |
| Pretty good episode again, looks like things are getting set up for a pretty big episode soon. |

Log Horizon is government funded, they don't have much of a budget to work with. I'm not really saying it's their fault either that they have an abysmal budget compared to other studios given the fact that they are indeed a government funded one. And I actually think they did a very good job w/ this considering their resources. It's just that those still frames really get me... |
| Not a bad episode, but I really wish they would stray away from the 12 year olds and focus on the older characters. |

SusuBitesYou said: The memory thing sounds alot more severe than I imagined it. I thought it was just minor stuff. They should keep diaries just in case and write stuff about their old world so if they forget, they can figure out what was forgotten. That's what I thought. I remember Shiroe's subclass having something to do with writting, wasn't it? He should just do it fine. |
| Could've been executed better.. oh well. |
| Sometimes I actually forget they're in a game. I wonder if the real world will ever get properly talked about. Really good to see a proper enemy finally appearing. It was really sad when Tohya saw the doll from the little girl. Minori was great this episode, she's shaping up to be a great player. |
| I knew Minori was going to say they should attack the goblins at the end. Though I originally thought she was thinking of uniting with the People of the Land, but that was already out of the question. This is just a shot in the dark, but I'm kinda thinking Lenessia might be one of those "13 Heroes" they were talking about. Mainly because of the spoilerific opening, more than anything... because I can't see how she'd be leading an army otherwise. dobinz said: I don't see it. I just rewatched that part and nothing in the animation seems lazy... it's basically just the "Stormtrooper" theory, in which all unimportant antagonists are completely incompetent (i.e. they can't hit shit, and they have no sense of strategy) unless the plot demands otherwise. I guess you can call it being lazy if you want, but that's just what any intelligent director would do.. no one would waste their funds on getting fluid and realistic cannon fodder. I don't even consider it a lack of funds, it's just using their budget on more important things.i cant believe how lazy this studio is, they seriously pause all monster animation while character talking at start of ep. that's fuckin ridiculous lazy. the animation of first 3 eps was far better. damn what the hell is wrong with them |
| Awesome episode. Shiroe finally said avout the memory thing to others. The explanation for the Masses of Goblins was LEGIT. That's how I want the things, not like some asspull in SAO. |
 |
| right now I am afraid... with so much building in every episode unconsciously I expect good climax, and if this anime failed to satisfy me sorry if my score will decrease significantly.... >< - marie in new armor :3 ... don't make me disappointed marie, you're level 90 player so in battle you must be great ;) - Kinda dislike with minori attitude when she lie to marie so she allow them go to the town, , - with Isuzu getting so work up about Rudy, I think it's safe to assume that rudy will die permanently if he die... |
| Minori turning into Shiroe :D Lack of Akatsuki saddens me :( |
| seems like theres gonna be action soon |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
