Boring. They need to stop with that lame-ass Shiroe harem. That's fucking boring and Akatsuki is an annoying bitch. Naotsugu x Marie is much more interesting lol.
Next episode might be interesting.

Of course, this anime is directed towards kids, it's airing hours are shit.

I know Studio DEEN gets a lot of flak, but this episode for some reason really showed the "low-quality" animations. Otherwise, I thought it was a pretty plot setting episode with SoL.

The princess looked really cute and sexy in her Santa outfit and Akatsuki in her... well... reindeer outfit I guess :3

Hmmmm, I wonder who that girl faking to be on the "phone" was lol.

The princess said such sad things T.T

At the princess is somewhat changing after spending time with the adventurers.

Dat ending doe...

Woo, shit is going down next time. I really enjoyed Akatsuki's story in the novels. Her sadness and jealousy was much more emphasized there though, or at least that's the feeling I got. I feel bad for Henrietta, but in my mind Shiroe and Akatsuki are the only pairing option ;_;. Man, I hate when a series creates a situation where a few characters are into the same person, especially when I find most likeable. Nothing puts me down as much as unrequited love, mostly because I'm such a loser myself. And while I love Akatsuki, I feel that Henrietta is a really good character. I hope she gets some attention too.

So if the Royal Guard didn't come when the guy was going to PK the girl, that must mean that he's a person of the land, right?
Holy shit, actual blood? Does this mean that now there's a way for the players to actually die instead of just respawning? Shit just got real!

Too bad Akatsuki didn't try the Santa outfit..

And for an assassin, she has a rather strong presence for people to notice her repeadetely when she is hiding in a far away tree or in the abandonded house etc.

I really miss the animation from the 1st season. Everything looked so much better in that season, would've thought it would only get a better budget since it's season 2.
The animation is taking out some of the joy, but the slow pacing of this filler-like episode is also hard to take. I'm really looking forward to the next episode though.

Kind of a slow episode mix with some thoughts of akatsuki

I wonde if the sword was made that way or he made the sword kill people where red blood showed.

Next episode, is Sou vs the evil guy in the end, BA is about to be revealed next episode!

I guess 24 episodes is still not enough for this anime to get good. First season is 95% talk and its looking the same all over again. At least SAO gives us crazy action with top notch animation.

Glad I skipped this episode. I hate Akatsuki and when I found out it was going to be all about her I decided to avoid it at all costs. May watch next week if stuff actually starts to happen though.

Dammit, get back to the raid group and the interesting characters! Akatsuki sucks!

Aw man does that mean Akihabara will be in trouble and then Shiroe has to cancel the raid, go home and save Akihabara then? I wanted to see some really bad ass boss too (╥︣﹏᷅╥᷅)

Soujirou has the teachings?! Maybe that's why Shiroe knew for sure that it exists~ What if Akatsuki develops feelings towards Soujirou now since he might teach her the Teachings and more time together and OMG NOOOOO┻━┻︵💨ᕙ(🔥益🔥ᕙ )

Still, the fact that she actually bled is progress. They didn't show blood in the first series at all. If someone died they burst into sparkles. Kyouko got a name...and died as soon as we knew it.

Meanwhile: Poor Akatsuki and Henrietta, I don't know who I feel worse for. Another case of "I just to want to hug her and tell her it's alright."
Yes, Akatsuki is very much the obsidian dagger, strong and beautiful, but very fragile. Such a sweet girl, the only reason she isn't really part of the plot is her own crippling shyness.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

The animation on this episode was so "one piece", what the hell this studio do, i don't think they really try on it at all.

it was a really slow episode but i don't find it that boring though, i know this episode will come because this is the real start of this volume in the LN. I can understand akatsuki feeling but just get over with it and stand up, you are quite cool yourself. XD

I expected a scene like on LN illustration at the end of this episode so i am really reall disappointed with that animation.

I'm not sure if it's that simple, but I think there is some connection between this guy (Enheart Nelreth) and the royal guard. He was seen polishing royal guard armour in episode 1 of this season, and his armour does look a bit like royal guard armour. There's also the shot in the last episode of season 1 which appears to depict a royal guard gaining some sentience (at least that's how I interpreted it). Also, if he is a royal guard, that's one way he could know that the royal guard was not coming to stop him.

Not sure if I'm reading too much into the interface, but his white name-box suggests that he is neither an adventurer (purple) or person of the land (green).


I've only read a bit at the start of volume 6 of the light novel on baka-tsuki. This bit suggests that Akatsuki wanted Haganemushi (Ringing blade) a bit more than Byakumaru (Dew blade) (which was sold), but the anime doesn't seem to show it that way. O.o


Maybe it's a case of what can and can't be broadcast on this channel at this time, but the last scene of this episode is still underwhelming, especially when you compare it to the novel illustration.


The first scene of episode 1 showed Akatsuki fighting Enheart alongside a samurai, but the samurai's facial expression was so different I found it hard to believe it was actually Soujirou. O.O

Interesting end. Was going to write off the episode as mostly filler related and frankly a bit boring seeing as it feels Princess Lenessia lost her charm (just feels different overall) but that ending, raises so many questions. Who was that (seen him before though)? How did he know the royal guards aren't coming? Why is their blood? Does this imply then that you can actually get killed? I figured even if she died, she can respawn but the blood part seems to suggest otherwise

Its been a bit slow lately, its building to a TON of shit going down soon, its obvious.
But its a little too much drama if you ask me. Makes it kinda boring.

Gotta love how she bombastically proclaims that she's the Captain of the second squad, and then stabs herself on the sword without equipping any items.

Lots of character development and a cliffhanger ending. I actually like how the show focuses on all characters and they everyday lives. Say what you want for Akatsuki but as annoying as she can be, she is a million times better than standard cardboar cutouts we see in most animes. As for blood in the final scene... it intrigues me but it better not turns into SAO.
Can't wait for the next episode.

This anime would be much more atmospheric if people actually died. There are a couple of expendable characters with just enough development to build up a villain as a serious threat.

Wait why didn't she respawn? And blood? O___O But wouldn't that NPC be in more serious trouble? I mean when PoL die, they die permanently.

Just when I thought Henrietta's internal monologue was getting serious, she suddenly switches on her pervert mode LOL! She and Marielle never fails to brighten the mood :D

I liked this Akatsuki-centric episode. Her character was really shallow in S1 when all she ever did was "yes milord" and kicked Naotsugu when he mentions panties. Now we see a different side - she actually feels something! Adds depth to her character. Didn't think she dislikes Minori that much haha.

Lenessia and Akatsuki had some great outfits, but they don't look as good as first season in it
Fanservice fail
The characters feels so off now with the dub it's like DEEN didn't have time to sync with the script
And the hairstyles looks like wigs now instead of soft and natural

Christmas theme itself was done good with it's backgrounds and the story

The episode was rather slow. I'm guessing the exposure to Akatsuki becomes more relevant later on, but as it is now I didn't feel very excited watching her emo. The ending makes me look forward to next week though.

It seems like a lot of people didn't like the slow pacing of this episode. I think these kinds of episodes showcase what Log Horizon needs: more character development.

I'm absolutely loving the second season so far. Stuff is about to get real, for people who haven't read the LNs!
