| Those Lenessia Merchandize are definitely worth getting Although it was hinted and commented previously about Minori liking Shiroe (as her mentor) I wouldn't have thought she had a crush on him Akatsuki having a middle schooler as a rival was just hilarious I guess Shiroe is a loli magnet and hopefully no "Nice Boat" floating towards him The cake contest was very funny with the male crowd around them getting furious Shiroe ending up fat and all was some nice comedy This has been very enjoyable to watch again |
| Oh boy here comes the shipping wars. |
| Cute episode, Akatsuki was beautiful in the kimono <3 Minori is cute and all but I can't picture her with Shiroe :/ Does Henrietta have some kind of feelings for Shiroe as well? Hmm. Oh and Gundam cosplay!! XD 3eps to go D'; |
pipeds said: Hmm...it really makes me wonder why the world they live in seems to be more fun and organized than the real world where it includes the real people like lawyers, politicians, businessmen etc. etc... It simply makes me wonder how this MMO players (who I consider most of them as those who want to escape the harshness of this world) beat up the skills of this REAL people. The one that really cracks me up is how well they organize their military strategy as well as their communicating abilities. In a real MMO game, most of the players are jerks and only want to use you for their own gain. They don't care about how you feel, they only want to have fun and make their character stronger. Anyway, in the first place, this is a fictional story. Well you have to consider that a lot of the players have taken up similar professions as to what they did in the "real" world so it is not like the world is without lawyers and businessmen. As for politics I am not sure if you missed the first half of this anime. Setting up the political structure of Akihabara and the round table was one of the main plot points. As for military strategy it consisted mostly of gathering groups of 40 and pointing them in a direction. Something that is not particularly hard to do. In a real MMO most players can indeed be jerks. But the reason for that is mainly because they are playing a game and are practically anonymous. Something which is no longer the case. A lot of people are indeed still jerks though. There was an arc entirely about how they threw out a lot of them and managed to set up rules by purchasing buildings which allowed you to ban certain people from entering. It is explained in the books that most of the people who disagreed with these rules simply moved to Susukino which as you saw in this episode is still pretty much a lawless player city. As for how they manage to beat out the skills of the people of the land it is hardly surprising considering that all of the adventurers have at least a basic education while the vast majority of the people of the land are illiterate. Add to that the fact that the adventurers all have bodies with superhuman strength, endurance and the ability to telepathically communicate with anyone at any distance. Sorry for the rant but I was just wondering if we had been watching the same anime. Because your questions have been some of the main focuses of the Log Horizon I have been watching. |

I really have no problem with and welcome romance, but for a series of this caliber a standard love triangle just seems so lackluster. Hopefully there's some greater significance to this other than grabbing shippers by the balls.

DivAsakust said: Blind_Guardian said: 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 You'll enjoy s2 if and when we get it then. Starts with a whole books worth of Akatsuki focus. Agh, goddammit. I hate that little bitch. If there's a second season I'll just watch it on fast-forward mode until she gets the hell of my screen. |
NettoAzure said: Darn, this episode. Traditional School Festival trope much? Cake eating and everything. Well Shiroe's harem keeps on growing. XD What I like about this series is that, it's way more mature than many others that's similar in style. He has two admirers that like him, I can hardly consider that a harem, and I don't see that number rising. One is a teacher-student kinda relationship (Minori, duh) where his knowledge and kindness made her experience feelings like love, and the other is Akatsuki, who is always by his side. I'm actually surprised. I have never before enjoyed an "relaxing-dayoff-usually hotspring" episode before, and did not look forward to this, but this episode had an very interesting way to make it feel less just stupid and unnecessary like usual to actually feel like a real episode. However, 5/5. Although there was no "action", it exceeded expectations and turned out to be a great episode. |
| TEAM AKATSUKI! Good episode. I really want to see a second season of this anime. |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| really liking the love triangle I don't like romance too much but Harems I like, but this ok it's not cheesy.I love yaoi best though. |

| If people had a bad impression of Shiroe before... I wonder what they think after seeing him with those two little ladies... It was pretty funny, but I hate to see this kind of filler so close to the end. |

| silly episode guess the story is already over :u |

| Quick turn for poor Shiroe heh, from being in the shadows to being the showcase of envy for so many. it has to be Akatsuki though... |

Actually, it is not filler but rather a breather arc that sets up the next arc which is filled with lots of character development, action and yet another peek on the mysteries of the world (which unfortunately would not be animated anytime soon due to lack of sufficient material -.-). |
| Crappy love triangle episode. Even if it's Log Horizon I just can't stand these >,> kaimax said: Blind_Guardian said: Agh, goddammit. I hate that little bitch.

This series is a lot more of an engaging watch than some of the usual flavors of the season I see. But there are 3 other female characters that orbit Shiroe's world. Henrietta for one looks up to him but holds back since she's satisfied and believes he will not reciprocate anything beyond a colleague-level relationship, Shiroe keeps on having flashbacks about this girl (Kanami) releshing his time with her from his Tea Party days, and of course a treat for the final episode that was foreshadowed in the previous episode. So yeah, that's like 5 girls already and counting. |

| Is it trying to turn itself into a lamer romance than SAO? |

| Akatsuki looked like Rika wearing that kimono! |
pipeds said: Takuan_Soho said: pipeds said: But also, how the heck did they build that freaking steam boat? Yup I do know some of them can be engineers but producing that huge quantity of metal and creating the blueprint without any form of guide or book is just insane. It would take them multiple trials for them to truly establish a concrete blueprint of that. Ah, that is a Japanese thing. I wouldn't doubt there being 10-20 "steam boat building clubs" throughout the country, with their own glossy magazine depicting how to make one. It has ceased to amaze me how many strange craft/hobby clubs there are in that country. I was also talking about producing the raw materials without a factory or something like that. In the real world, it is easier to have parts that can be use to make such a boat. Also, how many months did it take for them to create such a machine in comparison to how they do it in the real world? But they already had forges and the like for producing armor and stuff. This includes furniture such as bathtubs which were already in the game for cosmetic purposes. Steel plating, bolts and etc. are probably crafting recipes which means that they can be crafted from a menu in virtually no time at all. The rest would be just assembling the parts along with the manual manufacturing of a few core parts that could not be created via a menu. I think the timeframe they completed it in was about one to two months. Consider what you and some friends can accomplish in minecraft over a weekend of play and the steam boat is hardly even impresive. |

| Minori>Akatsuki |
 |
| Man, I was really enjoying this anime, but I don't think Log Horizon needs a love triangle at all. That whole scene with Minori crying because Akatsuki likes Shiroe felt awkward as hell. Minori is one of my favorite female characters in the series, but I prefer Akatsuki with Shiroe instead. Hopefully they resolve this Love Triangle fast, and it doesn't carry on through the rest of the series. I'd rather see more tactics and diplomatics that Log Horizon is known for, than love drama. |
| Well it will be hard to choose now , >.< |
| The cake buffet, and Akatsuki's preperations were really nice. Couldn't stop laughing. The later half was a bit sad with Minori being "heartbroken", but Tohya fixed her up..mostly. Let's see how it turns out. |
| Akatsuki so cutee |
 |
| Minori, Akatsuki, Henrieta and girl in the flashback... I love them all, especially girl in the flasback... but so far, I would ship shiroe x henrieta... unlike minori and akatsuki who thought about their feeling toward shiroe, henrieta gave real support here.... well, these two look good together... |
acdneo said: You know, Minori is more mature than Akatsuki, she'll deal whit it in a great way, unlike the shitty useless ninja. Just wait. Yeah, I know. I really liked Minori for her maturity. She tried her best to become a tactician herself, never asks Shiroe for help, but instead lessons so she could become a better person. She also overcame her shyness to benefit the whole party, which isn't an easy task. I haven't read the light novels, but all I see Akatsuki doing at the moment is "My lord."; she's mostly just listening to the commands of Shiroe and that's it. Now don't get me wrong, I do like Akatsuki, but I liked Minori better. Hopefully, Minori realizes she's only 14 (or 15, idk) and she has a long way to go before she matures and decides who's a proper man. Minori is my favourite character, but I just can't see her getting together with Shiroe. Shiroe seems more like a teacher than a lover for Minori, to me. Still, I prefer not to have a love triangle or love drama at all. |
| Both Akatsuki and Minori needed to progress their characters and this is just how Mamare Touno chose to go about it. Saying that a series doesn't need romance because it's cheesy or it doesn't match the tone of the series will get us nowhere. It's not like it's tacked on for the lulz. It, at least, has a defined purpose and will be evident in the next few eps. Anyway the both of them were acting and thinking really selfishly about their (assumed) "relationship" w/ Shiroe. They both were content w/ staying near him and assumed that he will reciprocate their feelings w/out them making any concrete steps to try to understand him more or to further their relationship w/ him. Minoris outburst was a concise example of their attitudes towards their relationship w/ Shiroe. Completely one sided and sefish. W/c is unfair for the guy regardless of who he ends up w/. The both of them will start to confront their feelings and insecurities more after this and hopefully change for the better. |
| Minori can't be that bright if she believes that she (as a middle schooler) can have a romantic relationship with a university student (23 I think?) |
| Meh episode. Log Horizon should stay away from this type of stuff. |
