| Satisfied with the ending, but that's mainly because of that last 2 second you know. Anyway, the beginning wasn't really interesting, but after a certain point near the mid-series, it really hooked me up. I'm glad I picked it up back then, although not a super enjoyable series throughout the whole run, I'm really satisfied with what I got. And with this ending, I'm pumped up for next season! |
| lackluster ending tbh. was a bit too random and nothing really got settled. will be interested in seeing shiroe leave akiba though. |
 |
| Fall isn't coming fast enough... Can't wait for the second season. |
 |
| This show got pretty boring after the first few episodes, then got better, and kind of wavered back and forth along the way, but I stuck with it. I'll bump it up to a 7/10 I guess. It's nothing special, but it wasn't really bad either. |
| Well it was over all a very well done adaptation. Better than most LN to anime adaptations out there. I'm not gonna nitpick about the censoring anymore. I just gotta accept that it's airing on NHK-e and leave it at that. I have the novels to read anyway. Pretty surprised about the next season announcement. But I worry about the content a bit. But hey, if it means an early Volume 8 release then I'm cool. I loved both LH and SAO (the LN) for very different reasons and I'm glad LH is getting the cred it deserves. Oh, and P.S.... Stop trying to wish for more action from a series that doesn't focus much on it anyway and is actually better because of it. How many times do we need to reiterate it anyway?. Geez.... |
| damn, Nureha is too hot and sexy...her race really is perfect for her personality...sly, seductive, possessive and cunning, imo, she is a perfect foe/match for Shiroe...but well, i think we still haven't seen what the two of them can really do... uugghhh, can't wait for season 2! |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
SetsukoHara said: Pretty much This^That was a fine show. The world building was amazing, unfortunately I wasn't a great fan of the characters, especially the younger ones who I think got too much focus, and made this anime a bit too childish. I also think there could be more and better action sequences. 6/10. but was that one of those guardian npcs gaining it's own Intelligence? anyho gonna give this bad boy a 7/10 hopefully it takes a dark tone in S2 |
 |
| Season 2 season 2 season 2 yeayy... Hope, the girl in the flashback will appear in season 2.... I am in love with her <3 am I the only one who think that this episode feel too rush (little)!? that nureha part made this episode so damn good |
katsu044 said: anyho gonna give this bad boy a 7/10 hopefully it takes a dark tone in S2 Considering the dark tones in s1 were removed, I really doubt s2 will include it. |

Or at least keep it subtle and toned down. Only thing that I'm positive is that there will be no explicit depictions of any of the darker stuffs. |

| That was dam good! Nureha sure is foxy~ What Shiroe said to her was pretty romantic in a way, about being able to give her what she wants by being her enemy XD I haven't watched many MMORPG anime's but this definitely has to be the best, lots of work into to this; how game logic implemented to this world, politics and all were very detailed. One of the best Winter shows. 9/10, scratching the surface of 10/10. EDIT: Never mind I loved how they ended the season, this left me wanting more! I can't wait to see what happens next! So..10/10! |

| I don't know why people rate this show low, I think it deserves better. At first I expect kick-butt action which it first imply but then the show shifted to a more non violent setting introducing politics, trade, invention and my favorite rule breaking world changing magic. The whole episode's point is to give people a hint of a second season which is uncommon (don't get me wrong I was expecting a blockbuster ending myself but this one works for me as well). New world, new enemies, new adventures. Who knows whats next? Story pacing was good, Art awesome, Music perfect fit. This is one of the series that I really enjoy this winter season. 10/10. |
| Log Horizon is a great example of how a light novel anime adaptation should be paced. |
| Ha! Shiroe IS the Glasses Demon Lol. Awesome episode! I can't wait for Season 2 |
 |
| I didn't like the Nureha chick, didn't like how it ended, but season 2 is coming soon, so I guess that's fine. So Shiroe want to live in this virtual reality? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Season 2 season 2 season 2! |
| It was not written in the stars that we be together. |
| Great Episode, Cant wait for season 2 =) |
 |
| Feel like watching 25 episodes worth of prologue -_-" Not that I mind the pacing, but seeing how majority of the anime ended up, log horizon might end up being a shitty anime with the story hardly getting anywhere if the producers are going to just stop at season 2. |
| It's nice and all that there's a second season but, I'm both sad and happy that it's going to be produce by NHK. The Good No need to worry about budget, as long as there is materials, they will continue to animate it in a good pace. The Bad Censored/Cut to oblivion. |

If you're talking about Nureha, I would have been quite disappointed if we didn't learn the identity of the white-haired "chronicler" until next season. Cruisawooski said: I'm quite sure Shiroe was well known for being guildless before the apocalypse. Also, he told her he doesn't remember her. I'm quite sure he has no reason to lie about that.AnimeFan500 said: Season 2 !!!!!! How does Shiroe know Nureha??? I'm going to assume she was in the same guild that Shiroe was in before they got stuck in the game. ArcanaTrace said: Nureha seems interesting and very beautiful with that nine tails appearance along with that beauty mark under the eye. Cant wait to find out whats the way for them to get out of the game. Shiroe is and awesome MC and i just love how he always remain level minded to solve situations. Which made it all the more interesting when he flipped the map after the random disturbances in Akiba completely frustrated him. xD Then he gets a stroke of inspiration to send an army of Soujiro fangirls to deal with the problem. xD |
| My god finally. Shiroe finally gets a decent female character. A pity that he rejected her, but Nureha is dimensions ahead of all the other female characters in both design and character depth. Even Crusty with his lazy commoner princess's got nothing on a fox lady that rules half of Japan with intellectual prowess that rivals Shiroe's. Expecting great things from second season. |

I'm going to assume she was in the same guild that Shiroe was in before they got stuck in the game. I believe it was mentioned in the original novel that Shiroe did know Nureha; high level solo Enchanters being as "rare as an Iriomote cat" anyway. I strongly suspect that the anime staff purposely had Shiroe lie about not previously knowing Nureha just to throw her off-balance. He's the type of person to do that after all. |
deenszx said: What does it mean when the maid and Lenessia said "then the letter..." and followed by "Shiroe probably..." what? Did Shiroe wrote those letter using his skill or he kept the letter for himself to be a bad cop? shiroe copied the letter with his skill. the maid gave him the letter to read, then he proceeded to copy the letter while the others talk and pwned to him afterwards. |

| New character + information out of nowhere. Looking forward to that 2nd season when they explain how Shiroe knows all this. Great anime overall. Enjoyed most of it, though it would've been better without the stupid love triangles and harem building towards the end. Hopefully the 2nd season wont go into that stuff any further. |

| Sao > Log Horizon FLAME!! But srsly, for me mmo player with 10 years experience sao had better mmo feel than log horizon, it turned too strange when they involved economy and politics. |

Krunchy said: Sao > Log Horizon FLAME!! But srsly, for me mmo player with 10 years experience sao had better mmo feel than log horizon, it turned too strange when they involved economy and politics. well, for me SAO failed mainly at one point as an anime about MMORPG: in such a game you can not win if you are a solo player. all the endbosses and raids are done in a group of players. the main interaction of players is not mobbing and hunting, but interaction in partys, guilds and raids. if SAO were a story about people stuck in another dimension (and we leave out the whole setting that it is a game), then it would have been probably more befitting the theme. but it was an anime made about MMORPGs, which in my opinion should include and explain in game terms and in game life. if the anime do not include it, then it has failed. this is why i like LH more, since it is actually an anime about the world itself, not about a random solo-player. i could also go on and rant about the MC, but i dont bother with it for now. |

| I loved the show and I didn't mind or notice the pacing. However, I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I waited for the show to finish and was able to marathon it all (I did it all in one day...). If I was watching it weekly, I could see myself getting annoyed with how half of the scenes are of paperwork. And I definitely love the introduction of Nureha. Finally a female character that has some depth and an actual "villain" or semi-antagonist that has some depth to her. I have no experience with the Log Horizon world but I'm guessing that she is actually the female Tea Party leader that Shiroe keeps envisioning throughout the first season. And I think that the reason that the Tea Party split up and scarred Shiroe is that she must have betrayed or done something once everyone (especially Shiroe) gave her his full trust. Anyway, I can't wait for the second season this fall. I wonder if their next ED could possibly surpass this season's :) The SAO vs LH battle is just beginning. |

No, She's not Kanami, Nureha is Nureha, one of the Level 90-not guild affiliated-Enchanter, which is akin to Shiroe. Kanami's class before the apocalypse was a Swashbuckler Kanami being simply Kanami, disbanded DTP because she was Busy with IRL stuff, there are no deeper meaning to that because she's Kanami, the one who keeps "dragging" DTP all around The Server because she wants to. And there's only one player that was "scarred" by the disbandment, and that wasn't Shiroe (look forward to season 2). Shiroe was scarred even before Kanami asked him to join DTP, He never like how people is just using him for granted since he's the guy with the most knowledge about quests. Heck, Kanami was the whole reason he opens up to players again, and main factor that he decided to make the guild Log Horizon. Kanami as her Japanese server character is not logged in, BUT in a side story which Kanami is the main character she was also in the game after the apocalypse, but in a different server. Main point of the story is Kanami trying to make it back into the Japanese Server. Krunchy said: op solo players exist in mmos it was also mentioned in 25 episode of log horizon You misunderstood it. In Log Horizon's context, a Solo player means that he/she is not affiliated to any guilds and always quits the party after everything is done. They are mostly mercenaries. Yes, some hunts monster alone, but they cannot stand a chance against bosses at the same level. So, there are no "OP Solo Players" in LH. |

Uh I wish that I didn't read that (spoiled some things :( ) but it makes sense. As I was stating, I was just completely speculating as I said that I have zero knowledge of the Log Horizon world outside of what was presented in the show. But I'm still really looking forward to season 2. I'm glad that they're leaving Akihabara and we'll really get to meet a whole new crew of characters. |

Still I would like to add to avoid misunderstandings, by op player I don't mean they are able to do solo everything, I mean they are able to do solo more than casual players. How much more? Depend on the type of game. |

Yeah I was just joking a little bit. Thanks for the explanation bro. I marathoned it all in one day so I definitely missed some small details I think. |

| Good season, though I think I shall have a different strategy for watching the next season. I plan to wait it out and then marathon everything. It's just too slow to watch it week by week. Watching 3-4 episodes in one sitting is more enjoyable in comparison. Krunchy said: My experience tell otherwise, op solo players exist in mmos it was also mentioned in 25 episode of log horizon and I would like to mention Kirito wasn't solo all the time. And 1st half of sao explained pretty much, if we talk about game aspects. If you jump on hate wagon at least do it properly. SAO only goes skin-deep for game mechanics but explains them nicely with a less cluttered user interface. Log Horizon on the other hand is better at focusing more on the macroeconomics part of MMORPGs. I'm not sure what MMORPGs you play, but Log Horizon is a better reflection of games that are designed to depend on and be highly driven by a player economy. I like how there is less focus on beating a death game, and more focus onto finding a way to live in that world and also to find their way home in the process. |
| Problem is that wasn't macroeconomics of MMO that was macroeconomics of medieval which wasn't reflection of the game. Trade guilds? in mmo? srsly? Yeah but that may be difference between them, sao turned into weird drama lh into boring slice of life. I prefer sao because of 1st half and family episodes, which reminds me a lot and bring emotions. lh has something like that too, but for me it's a bit dry. |

| Was actually quite good , I came into this expecting something quite bad , but was pleasantly surprised. Nureha seems like quite an interesting character as well , looking forward to season 2. 9/10 |
