As for the episode - do wish they had explained why Akatsuki had a complex about her size, it wasn't mere dislike of being short. Since next episode will have the flash back from Shiroe's POV there is still a chance they may cover it, though probably not. Shame, but at least they did a nice raid dynamic here to show how this group started to work together.

As much as I'm happy that the adaptation is accurate, I fear that there's not enough source material to go on. Its been confirmed for 25 episodes and right now, the anime is at Volume 7, Chapter 4 with Volume 8 released only 2 months ago.

Knowing Deen, I fear for the worst...... >.>


No need to fear, the LN is overseeing the writing, they still have the remainder of 7, volume 8 (which focuses on the kids going west), the web based story (with the Debauchery Tea Party lead coming in from Asia), and whatever the writer wants to do to tie up what will probably be the animated end of the series. So plenty of material for source material.

Plus Deen was only hired to do the key animation, they are not directing either.

This episode was awesome! I loved Akatsuki's new teaching xD

The pajama party was cool too. Can't wait for Shiroe to finish their full raid :D

The only thing i'm worried about is the deactivated barrier. I know there are only low levels but you never know....

I don't think shadow lurk is creating clones but rather illusion/after image. I say it's more like phantom image from Claymore, but on a higher scale where multiple phantom image are generated.

Amazing episodes. All that build up wasn't worth it tho,
but a great episode nonetheless.
I already knew Akatsuki is going to gain her ability, but its basically exploiting the game mechanics in a nutshell, that is what the Teachings are I assume.
Next episode looks interesting, Shiro loses his real world body apparently

This was a really enjoyable episoses on multiple levels but mainly cuz we finally got to see them fight. They added in a little kiting lesson and more world impacts like changing "flacor text" which I was delightly surprised they touched on. I wonder who wrote it though, calling Akatsuki, "unsocial" was amusing but would suck to have etechd forever on that weapon lol. Seeing her learn her own teaching was cool as well. Plus she got a new weapon! I was kinda surprised it came so late in the fight but it was a good way to finish off the climax. I have a newfound fondness of Akatsuki now. xD

I cant help but feel her weapon and Shadow Lurk is op as well lol. Oh well its good to see her finally be strong fighting-wise through her own awarness of her weaknesses. Kinda philosophical o.o

Even though they were all celebrating and happy I can't help but feel a dark foreboding of not having the magical barrier for protection anymore. x.x

The Good old Hit, Kiting, run, heal rinse and repeat strategy.
Epic shadow clon- i mean shadow lurk skill there. Akatsuki became abit OP with those gears and that skill.
Finally this bastard is out of the picture now onwards to how shiroe got party wiped by the bosses in the raid. Sure Akatsuki and her girlfriends were quite entertaining to watch. But nothing beast watching good ol magnificent bastard shiroe kicking some ass.
It's likely that ep 9 will show how his pt got wiped then he'll make a plan. Ep 10 will be the one with the battles. 2 weeks to conclude(hopefully) vol 7.
Then we can get on to what happen to Krusty.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

I'm expecting Henrietta to 'Freak Out' when she sees Akatsuki's Teaching, because if 1 Akatsuki makes her want to do all that she wants to do to her, what's that many Akatsukis going to do?

To be fair, neither of the authors invented that skill. They both took a preexisting motif and used it.

You probably know this, but there are many people seem to think that the show they like invented everything and everything remotely similar is "stealing" from that work.

There is very few new things under the sun!

Akatsuki's blade is so OP now that flavor text has been real... it is like a vampiric blade taking HP.

Anyways, now we can go back to the raid again. >.<

So the crafter can write their own flavor text? And the flavor texts turn real? Now that's some op shit right there...
"God's raidstaff: God was an inpatient person. When he entered his first raid and learned the necessity of trial and error he created his own raidstaff. A single swing of this staff would instantly clear out the entire instance."
"God's headband: The source of God's power, this headband turns thoughts into reality".
"Adventurer's Cane: Hit the ground twice to return to your original world or thrice to come back "

I'm not too creative, but you get the idea.

I think flavor text are automatically generate to stay true to the world history.

if it's not, can you imagine many of the players creating fake items and giving it some epic flavor in hope it becomes reality.

Akatsuki was badass this episode! Loved her monologues and the strong resolve she had to take down the monster.
Now, she even achieved her Teaching! Shadow Lurk was pretty epic!

The teamwork was carried out well as well. I liked how oriented the units were in different zones.

Tatara-san is a great person in this universe. Giving her a reforged version of haganemushi and encouraging her to defeat her opponent.

Pajama party time. Henrietta almost passing out was pretty funny. XD

Good episode. Looking forward to Shiroe screentime next week.

I liked this episode. The kiting strategy :) , the OST was amazing. Akatsuki has finally learned a teaching. I was surprised though that Akatsuki has only destroyed the sword, I actually expected her to kill him o-o.

Akatsuki was nice here. And she finally got a new skill. Depending on whether she has to hit a single target with that, or can aim each strike individually, it is really OP together with her new blade.

I also don't think the crafter can just write whatever they want as flavor text, but more like that they have to think of something they want to achieve with that blade and the game - or the world, whatever - inserts appropriate text. Everything else would lead to less flavorable texts like "lol noob, get rekt" in an instant. Which probably would be something like one-hit-kill & making someone level 1 again..

YEAH! This was an AMAZING episode! I loved all the different designs for all the girls! Not just thin and cute in cloth armor. But tall and powerful ones, built ones, ones in full plate... I know its a small thing, but it was really cool to see.
Ninja girl finally learns her teaching and the bladesmith/shop owner joins the raid...
A nice, action packed episode to finally move things along...
ONLY TO GO BACK A MONTH.

What's this? A pajama party in which the women are dressed in pajamas that are appropriate for wintertime and not blatant fanservice? And no one is engaging in "sexy times" (except for Henrietta, so to speak)? Excellent! Well done, Log Horizon!

Something's been nagging at me, though: what's up with that purple-haired guy in Soujiro's guild? Is he a woman who was playing as a man and is now trapped in the "game" as a man, or is he just a really effeminate guy? I mean, either way is fine, but I really wanna know!

Jeez, I knew it Lenessia's S2 design is horrible and have endured it, but putting it side by side like that makes me want to cry for the S1 design...

Glad they finally took out the murderer, Akatsuki's character development was fine but the whole thing felt dragged out and boring by the end.
