| Omg I love this series so much!! Would be amazing, but needs more work on the story and better boss monsters and such, so there would be an actual challenge. But, either way, they're just starting off in the game so I guess, shikatanai na. |
| I found this episode a bit boring. Just action with some random flashbacks to the past. I'm not an SAO fan by any means, but I'd prefer LH to step it up in terms of animation because it's the one thing it's lacking in right now. But obviously, I'll keep watching. Uncanny said: This plot is so thin. Okay so they're going to go rescue some chick, then what? There's almost nothing going on. Yes, this. They need to start introducing a "but there's this thing going on" to the main plot which is just traveling to the other place to save the maid girl. |
| This is definitely one of my topanimethis season. The atmosphere this episode is good. A little flashback of Shiroe in his early days at playing Elder Tale is make me apreciate this more. It look like little by little the member of Debauchery Tea Party make an appearance in the screen. And it seems that some kind of alliance will will be made at the Cresent Moon Alliance. What is the purpose of maid skill anyway lol. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

Not going to drop it yet, but I hardly think that this is a fantastic series. there is a reason why that bandid gang wants nyanta and the maid trust me log horizon will suprise you |

| I forgot to add that the loli joke will never get old. |

| Ok then, I expect great things from this. It was simple and funny, with a overall of good action. It was also nice to see the members of the Debauchery Tea Party, at least a part of them. Furthermore, more backstory is always good. |

delulytric said: How is even Akatsuki the same age as Shiroe omgomg. Do you know who is Aoi Yuuki? She's 21 years old seiyuu and her height is 1.45m |
 |
| Great episode!! I understand Shiroe, it's good that you're a dependable person and people rely on you for help, but after a while and they constantly ask for your help, it's a pain in the ass... |
 |
| I liked the glimpse into the MCs past even thought it was kinda clichéd. The rest of the episode was also decent but I'm somehow less enthusiastic than I was about the first two episodes. The new villain doesn't look too interesting which might be the reason for that. Read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=670019#TWZbBwvTWTfvmtse.99 |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Loved that background at the ending scene |

I fully agree with your reaction. |
| The brief glimpse of his past, and his experience with helping people was a nice way to explain his reluctance in helping Serara in the earlier episode. It probably brought back that annoying feeling of possibly being used by others. I know its been done often enough, with having this kind of mysterious past for the MC, mainly this legendary group of people, but its been enough of a hook to keep me interested in finding out what happened, and what will happen. I also heard that apparently Still enjoying the series so far, This is a series that I would have preferred marathoning from start to end, but ah well... |

Mahat said: NeoAnkara said: I forgot to add that the loli joke will never get old. Except she never really seemed all that young to begin with. This is anime, so it's always quite hard to tell, but her facial features aren't particularly round or anything (just compare a good shot of her face with one of Serara's), and in the way she speaks and thinks, she sounds pretty mature and autonomous (if you get past the hardcore role player stuff... though even that contributes to show she is certainly no kid, what with being able to invest herself in a consistent role 24/7 and all.) Again for the personality, just compare with what we have seen of Serara so far (who definitely looks like a kid in my eyes, if that wasn't clear already). So, yeah... Only thing going against her was her size (and even on that field, she hasn't quite the proportions you'd expect of a little girl). But then again, seems like the characters actually believed her to be a child in-universe, so I wonder why I'm rambling here... Just don't mind me. ^^' Of course one great advantage to an assassin would be to have people take you lightly because you appear to be a child. (In the old AD&D days, they always disregarded the abilities of us halflings...only to realize too late just what we could do, bwahaha...). Regardless of her appearance though, I think her interest in Shiroe is more than just game-play. I'm also wondering about the former leader of the Tea Party, and just what connection he had with her. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I wonder what's up with the NPCs... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Where is the leader of the tea party anyways? I thought people would be in an uproar and news would spread fast in which city she's currently in. |
| All dem lvl 40 rattatas, no evolve xD the kick then ask if she can kick Naotsugu is getting pretty old now. . . Haha, I know they're trying to compact the flashback, but "I did what you said and got that item!" It looks like they save all the explanations for game mechanics. |

| That guy in the robe in the last scene totally looks like a Thalmor. |

| I found the flashback with the tea party rllllyyy interesting. It was really cool to see the other types of members he grouped with in the past and hope to see deeper connections with them as the series progresses =P Nyata definitely a member of the tea party, as they showed it in that flashback + his level 90 appearance xD Really wanna see him and shiroe interact. I also found it interesting how ingredients retained the same 'flavor' as in real life... You would think they would just be flavored as one type of 'spice,' but that was pretty interesting - as a side note o.o |
| nice cute ED song.. :) cyruz said: indeed he is and i want to kill him.. :DThat guy in the robe in the last scene totally looks like a Thalmor. |

| It's unbelievable how much SAO is better than this. |
 |
| Enjoying this series, I want to see what happens when the group meets up with Nyanta~ |
| Enjoying this so far! The humor is somewhat repetitive and unfunny but other than that this looks to be a lot of fun to watch. I like the look of the world and the distinctly MMO feel to it |

delulytric said: How is even Akatsuki the same age as Shiroe omgomg. it just her physicial appeareance ingame not real life i mean look Nyanta do you think he really a big walking cat in real life? |
greebo said: vampko said: Am I the only one getting bad vibes from Nyanta? I don't trust him.... You Catist! ^_^ My guess he was part of the tea party but maybe he something else. Anyone hiding behind a cat disguise might be untrustworthy.... Oh wait.... It could be because of his eccentricness XD |
 |
| This is so far my favorite show this season. |
| the ep was good for the most part, that villain is extremely lame though |

If you recall, Shiroe said that in a world with no punishment or penalty, there really feels like there isn't anything exciting to do. He took on this mission to fill that void with adventure and excitement versus just laying around depressed like some of the players were at the start. It works out too as this way they might be able to find answers to their questions on this adventure since they're not going to figure out shit by just staying at the same place all day. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
silversaint said: the ep was good for the most part, that villain is extremely lame though I reckon. Like a generic bandit boss or something. Didn't like his voice. But I definitely enjoyed everything else this episode had. Would have liked to see the boss explode into loot though = ( |

| Dat op song.. DATABASEEEUUUUHHH |
 |
| this is too average - -'' |
| Gotta love Shiroe and Naotsugu's reaction when Akatsuki said she's nearly the same age as hers. I'm curious to what she looks in real life. Maybe, she's taller and attractive than her avatar. |
Magito said: Gotta love Shiroe and Naotsugu's reaction when Akatsuki said she's nearly the same age as hers. I'm curious to what she looks in real life. Maybe, she's taller and attractive than her avatar. Unlikely about the size. Shiroe mentioned that his avatar was just a little taller than him and he was having trouble adapting. Akatsuki prolly chose this size because it's way closer to her actual size IRL. And it's not that uncommon to find fully grown japanese women in hand baggage size (like ~145cm) |

CRadu said: Litrydow said: It's unbelievable how much SAO is better than this. It's unbelievable how much opinions vary. I had a great time watching SAO, but if I were to compare them, even with just 3 episodes into Log Horizon, my vote is definitely in Log Horizon's favour. But let's stop comparing them, shall we ? Can't wait for that romance to kick in though. I presume it's gonna be Akatsuki x Shiroe. Yes please. Click on his list. See that rating. You'll definitely see a 2/10 10/10! |

Omnisword said: do you think he really a big walking cat in real life? Fuck knows, it's an anime after all. The first 3 episodes of log horizon I would argue have less impact, less of a sense of scale and epicness than the first 3 episodes of SAO. But SAO went to shit pretty quickly after that. It remains to be seen whether or not Log Horizon will do the same. I'm a little concerned about the overall direction that the show will go in... it doesn't seem too concerned over the mystery of how it all happened, and it's even lampshaded that nobody knows what to do. There's no overarching goal or objective, and I'm not really sure if it will work as a "slice of life"... And besides, just watching somebody else play an MMO is not that great. Even SAO knew that. At this point, it's far too early to judge. All you can say is that similarities aside, it is a different flavor from SAO. |

Maybe, she's taller and attractive than her avatar. Don't forget that Shiroe is actually shorter than his chara, what if IRL Akatsuki is taller than Shiroe, lol. I imagined her to be around Oda Raika type. It's kinda funny also, why people comparing this to SAO only, while the premise or settings is actually closer to .Hack//roots. Meh. |

| I'm really liking this. It has a solid foundation to build on. Nice mechanics and good explanations. Also, the main cast is all over 20 year old. |

mysticaz said: Their reward(loot) is the view of sunset horizon that's why they got no loot. lolThe animation staff seems to use the boss explode effect that way. Well, the boss was "grey" to them anyways, short of vanity items (if they exist in this game), all items he could drop would be vendor trash anyways. |
