| Whoa Flavored Texts finally showing effects ._. |
 |
| Second seasons gets very slow devlopment of events, which is pretty annoying. Yet another episode that in half didn't showed anything really interesing and was pretty boring. Though second part is actually interesing. There are multiple ways of making consequences of scythe event: Maybe Crusty dies permamentally? Or will he turn into madman (Since in episode was told that game AFFECTS personality of players)? I bet he is dead. The girl who was trying to push Crusty got smelt hand - and Crusty probably whole body. That might cause panic within players, so killing Crusty is reasonable. I can't wait for next episode. Hope there will be more action. |

| wtf krusty got vaporized lol RIP |
| So, ya, this seasons so much better than the 1st. |
 |
| Why did they give Akatsuki such a hard time? Akatsuki didn't even know about the murders until she overheard Lenessia, and she told her she should talk to the round table. Shortly after, Akatsuki joined Souji, who knew about it way longer and who was already fighting. She died, respawned, and gets lectured about "keeping it a secret" etc. ?? Despite being one of only two high level members and aswell as being co-founder of Log Horizon, and being specifically asked by Shiroe to stand behind, W.W.D. decided to leave her out of the loop - and from what we know, Nyanta, too. And when she finds out by accident and tries to figure out whats really going on, she dies and gets lectured by D.D.D. and C.M.A, who were waiting for her together with Nazuna from W.W.B. Wat? Shouldn't they complain to Nazuna or Souji that W.W.B left *them* out of the loop, and thank Akatsuki that she - even when it was accidently and rather indirect - brought it to their attention, so the round table can do something about it? Though at this point nothing indicates that they want to inform the other guilds, so they want to keep it a secret too. Wouldn't Grandeur, Rodrick or Honesty be right to say "you should have talked to us" when they inevitably find out? And after Souji - who knows the most about whats happening right now, except maybe for Lenessia - already told the others to show Akatsuki their teachings, they still practically make her beg for help? Did they fall in love with Souji like most other girls or what? Shiroe should teach them a lesson when he comes back. Not only was it unfair against Akatsuki, it certainly doesn't help the overall cause when people have to think twice or more often about what they do, given that *they* might catch flak for someone else failures. Like, if Akatsuki didn't go and look, it would simply have ended with everyone from W.W.B. including Souji dying. They wouldn't have learned anything, except that they can't beat the murderer, and the rest of the round table would still be out of loop. Lenessia would probably still hesistate to tell the adventures, and only Akatsuki would be better off in a way, without that lecture. Though i don't think she would be happy with the situation. Phew, long rant about a overall rather small issue, but the thing is: Stuff like this happens for real all the time, and people don't realize it. |
| So, what have we learned... 1. Avoid crossplaying. 2. Pay attention to the flavour text. We already knew there was -some- truth to it when Regan appeared. Aside: I suspect post #24 needs a spoiler tag. |
DenjaX said: I don't want to get an idea of Crusty becoming an antagonist because of some evil power emits from that damn scythe... I hope they wont go there... else i'd be disappointed :x Same it would be pretty generic and predictable. BeomSik said: Interesting episode... Did that really just happen to Crusty's hand? lol... No that happened to Crusty's whole body, The one that lost her arm was the scythes owner in his guild. Takata said: Aside: I suspect post #24 needs a spoiler tag. I agree, unfortunately I read it and I do feel a bit spoiled referring to what he said about the scythe and Crusty. |
 |
| Shiroe and Akatsuki moment was nice. AND OMG MI LORDO!!! |
| This is the best episode so far. |
| Noooooooononononononooo not Crusty. |
darkreaver94 said: the more pertinent question is whether she will even receive her arm back upon death, we know changes are massively occurring so that may be a change (as well as possible vulnerability / death, though I doubt crusty will die) as characters do not lose their levels upon death, it is possible that certain ailments, including loss of limbs, remain permanent. (though I doubt it) either way, shit got realGreat episode. I think that Crusty got sucked into the weapon and became one with the weapon. The ending song sure ruined the tense atmosphere. Just as William said, you will only understand when you experienced death once. Shiroe not trusting his new teammates; Akatsuki acting alone. Nisx said: Akatsuki fantasies about Shiroe every episode, this time of there life together on the real world. can u really lose your hand on that game? just kill your avatar then get back perfectly. I never could take the fights on this anime seriously, why they so scare of dying/losing when they cant actully die and they will just back second after. 31 episodes on this show already and not a word about why they actully in the game, they just keep play it like there life depend on it. Despite being in the fantasy world, the people still retain their humanity. Just think about this, would you stab yourself with a knife despite knowing that you won't die in real life but at a result, losing part of your memories? When living in the fantasy world is better as compared to real life, would you want to live there forever? |
 |
| What's this? Character development for Akatsuki? Separation from Shiroe that allows her to become more than a one-dimensional character? Shocking! In other news, I really enjoyed the look at the real world version of Akatsuki (she's prettier that way, I think), and it's interesting to see how people playing the opposite sex are starting to be affected (though I doubt it'll be elaborated on much more if it's not relevant to the plot). |
 |
| So weapon lore is real now. "Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit." |

Actually, the murders were known and reported in their local newspaper (episode 5 opening scene), but were not treated seriously enough by most adventurers. What Souji did was to try and form a team to apprehend that murderer; he had absolutely no idea that the murderer was a Person of the Land who is functionally invincible, and that was what Akatsuki found out. That was the secret Henrietta et al mentioned, not the murders themselves. |
| Someone make a gif of real world Akatsuki's eyes. Honestly, creating way too many questions, but I'm sure they tie it up somehow later. |
 |
| Say whaaa...? So many questions to ask, not enough time for answers. Why did Akatsuki meet up with Shiro on the re-gen plain, but not anyone else? Does this mean the entire episode was all in her own subconsciousness? I mean if Adventurers are dying left and right, and even Naotsugu was dead during that time as well, then why did she only see Shiro? Then when she decided to return, they snipped their hair and some memory bytes flew away or something right? Did they ever explain what exactly they lost in order to revive? Was it some form of emotion, or memories, or real-world skills, what exactly was it? Also, whats the deal with not asking for other people's help about the murderer incident? I mean, she wasn't kept in the loop in the first place right? She wasn't even part of the safty corps to protect the streets or anything. They were still giving her a hard time over not sharing info? What exactly was it? Then with Crusty, what the heck happened there? High grade weapons started acting up against their own owners? Why???? Did Crusty get zapped to another dimension? Is he gonna become the antagonist or something? Does this mean that girls hand is gonna turn all evil and become "It" too? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| This series is about to cross the line to beyond awesome |
| Both my opinion of this show and my desire to keep watching are in free-fall. I should have known the bliss of 3 Akatsuki-free episodes was going to be interrupted by All Akatsuki, All the Time. Fast-forwarded through about 75% of this episode because I can't. Fucking. STAND HER. I think I'm just going to stop watching this garbage until it gets back to a character I give two shits about. It's not like I don't have half a dozen other shows that I actually care about on Saturday. 1/5, fuck you Akatsuki, you annoying little shit. |
| The problem just keep piling up, sometime when I watch I just pity them but I think everything will turn out okay. It will be interesting to see how they are going to defeat the murderer. |

| Just a normal stroll on the beach. I always like the way the ending scene transitions to the ED. Always bring a smile to my face :D |

| Woah, Krusty. Shit got real.. |
 |
| that ending song really ruins the tension tbh and looks like things are finally getting serious! geez, should have happened a long time ago :/ |
| Sad princess is sad... T.T Real life Akatsuki-chan :3 or at least it seemed so... Awww, Akatsuki and Shiroe had a talk and then she asked the rest of the gang for help with the teachings :3 Damn, so many interesting things are happening to their world. Dem feelings doe T.T What the f-ck just happened to Sansa and Crusty :o?! |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Crusty got sucked into the weapon? Also it seems like they are trying to give Akatsuki some character development. |

| Shiroe and Akatsuki finally get to meet. Was so tired of Akatsuki being so gloomy, hopefully this cheers her up a bit. Really didn't expect the gender normalization going on. Another reason to not play as a the other gender huh? I thought the scythe was shaking because it was acting as a premonition or something. Did not expect Crusty to get obliterated...really don't think it's teleportation since the girl that was with her lost her hand. He won't be gone for good though, he better not be. |
mayukachan said: that ending song really ruins the tension tbh and looks like things are finally getting serious! geez, should have happened a long time ago :/ I like to think it releases the tension... maybe. O.o It reminds you that this isn't the type of anime that permanently kills off its characters. (But to be fair, a few People of the Land were implied to have been killed by the Goblin invasion last season.) In keeping with the style of previous episodes, where they play that "bright" ED song alongside something really dark, they could have played the ED alongside the shot where Sansa* was shown to be missing her hand, but maybe that would have been too extreme. Aside, they managed to censor that dismemberment quite thoroughly behind the cloud of smoke. O.O *Why was she called "Sansa" anyway? Isn't her name Takayama Misa? (http://myanimelist.net/character/96885/Misa_Takayama) Also, to be fair... I guess if you're a hardcore enough gamer, you would get into the habit of completely ignoring the flavour text on anything, no matter what it said. |
Takata said: *Why was she called "Sansa" anyway? Isn't her name Takayama Misa? (http://myanimelist.net/character/96885/Misa_Takayama) Sansa, or Major, is most likely a nickname they gave her based on an alternate reading of the kanji of her character name Misa (三佐). And she does looks like a military officer after all.... |
| R.I.P Krusty Your soul was just taken by a scythe O_O These flavor texts just literally reshaped this entire anime, it's turning from a MMO world to a fantasy world. |

L-Ryoshi said: Then with Crusty, what the heck happened there? High grade weapons started acting up against their own owners? Why???? Did Crusty get zapped to another dimension? Is he gonna become the antagonist or something? Does this mean that girls hand is gonna turn all evil and become "It" too? I doubt any of that is going to happen. I think the easiest way to understand what is happening to the weapons is this: spooky flavor text used to denote an item's terrible history is now becoming real, in effect cursing the items. The scythe "Disaster," for example, is now effectively a cursed item that occasionally glows menacingly and, if you are unlucky enough, erupts into a full-fledged disaster that does... something, to everyone in the area of effect. The flipside is that if all flavor text is becoming real, a number of items are likely going to get buffed by the awesomeness of their backstory ("known for slaying giants," "fabled to cut through anything," etc) and others might just get cosmetic effects/phenomenon. |
| WTF? Why is a weapon of an adventurer acting like that? So strange. Wonder what happen to Krusty. Surely he can't just disappeared. So are mals turning into girls? Lol. Btw, nice seeing Akatsuki real version. She seems very beautiful and i like the different more realistic detail eye they made for her real world version. Mushelox said: Shit got serious. Did that girl from Crusty's guild actually lost her hand? o.O Interesting to see how that goes. I mean when they get killed they go to the temple etc but what happens now that she seems to have lost a hand? |
Monad said: WTF? Why is a weapon of an adventurer acting like that? So strange. Wonder what happen to Krusty. Surely he can't just disappeared. Flavor text is getting real, so her weapon started acting up. Probably got sent into a dimension or something like that. |

| it was cool to see a "real world" version of akatsuki. I can't wait to see akatsuki master the teachings. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Wow things are starting to get interesting. |
DreamingBeats said: Tohka_Yatogami said: Akatsuki and Shiroe have a good conversation. at the land of the dead: Shiroe: I died. Akatsuki: You too my lord? From what I remember, they actually do have a longer conversation than that. But they have to show Shiroe's side of the story before that can actually be shown.... or that was the entirety of it and I've just forgotten what I read in the novel. |
|
| Henrietta was right to question Akatsuki. She's been too dependent on Shiroe that she never tried to get close to the others around her. What Henrietta is trying to do is bring confidence and trust to Akatsuki, make her believe in herself and show her that she can also ask for help from others. Looks like Princess Lenessia is now friends with the Adventurers. At first I disliked her because of how she just viewed the Adventurers as normal people rather than her friends. Now, it's different, she's being true to her feelings. I was a bit too early to comment on Lenessia before this episode. So Crusty gets sucked into the weapon. And did the girls hand get burned off after she tried to save Crusty? |
