Boy was that OP spoilerific had to make sure this was another 25eps again with the insane amount of characters they showed, but hey Database is still base! part of me wanted something new but i guess staying with the popular and well loved one is for the best new ED was catchy as the last one though.


I am looking forward to whats in stored this time around as long as all that romance that happened near the end of s1 gets toned down

omg yea can this go away now, it annoys me to hell. still keeping my hopes up that now that shiroe is gonna be away, there won't be anymore awkward "trying to get into sensei's pants while living in the database" moments, let's just stop this now.

yay, finally more DATABASE!! love that they kept the song, can't imagine LH without it!
and a pretty good first episode. i'm a bit confused about the last scene with akatsuki and shiroe though.


I am also indeed very confused at that part too. After the whole meeting thing, that part came up and i went hectic lost as heck.


im confused and scared. I'm also irritated over the fact that this anime does not have a legit spoiler cut, like i did not ask for these spoilers on the first episode!! log horizon writers you are wrong if you think i'm gonna forget. this will be bugging me every episode now but im really excited ok. the only thing i know for sure now is that we will find out about the memory loss business they were trying to figure out last season if they are going to go through this situation themselves.

It's BAACK! DATABASE!DATABASE! Seems like $hit going down for this arc.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Yay, Akatsuki is back.

Interesting story, Shiroe leaving Akihabara. Hopefully, Shiroe realizes Akatsuki's feelings before Minami gets to Shiroe.

New ED is so win.

I don't understand one thing: how can there be a whole clan of players (I assume) that controls the whole game's finance? Wouldn't those guys be overpowered? Can someone enlighten me about what happened there because I can't wrap my mind around this.

I believe the Kunie Clan are actually the 'People of the Land', or just the NPCs.

There are some extremely annoying characters in this anime that need to be dead for it to become better in quality. That busty blonde haired character for one, that little girl who is into the Cat guy and finally they need to put an end to that apparent harem involving a damn kid. There are a lot of silly moments involving these characters. I struggled to give a 3/5 for ep 1.

Just like Eastal noble they are NPC.

Anyway I like that they show Shoujirou and Akatsuki vs unknown enemy at the beginning and Shiroe and Akatsuki death at the end. This season will show how much they grow.

Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Lol I really dislike this artstyle compared to before. At least the story's cool enough to continue watching.

The art went from natsu_no_koucha to b;bl;bldfl;/

uuu at least it's not toooo different. But all of their faces aren't cute or cool anymore.

Didn't really have a problem with the animation/art style. I found it quite ok maybe with the exception of Regal. He just looks weird, though I already found him weird in S1.


Surprised that they decided to stick with the same OP.
And of course, you can't have a Log Horizon ED without Akatsuki being the main.

Found it a bit messy from that first part and last part. Still, it is a first ep after all. Probably after a few eps it'll be clearer to me.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

The Database show is finally back. Good times begin.

Btw, what did they do to the characters hair? They look worse really. Like they are made of paper. Marielle had nice hair, now they got replaced by paper hair.

I didn't say it's a problem, I am just curious to how their real self correlates with their game character.


Obviously it's not a requirement to look like your real self or else Nyatta will be the weirdest creature ever.

No ones probably gonna read this but, so glad to see the 2nd season of Log Horizon is out. This is the first time in my life that I have ever caught a show practically on the day it aired. That said, I'm really excited to see where this Kunie clan plot takes us. LH always has a way of throwing surprises our way in the form of Shiro's tactics, and even with new animation style, I have no doubt they can pull it off here

Log Horizon's author is very close to the fans, discussing with them on 4chan and the like, even saying it's okay to download illegally the episodes (as long as you buy if you become ricjh lol? :p ).
It's pretty obvious that he noticed the database opening was heavily associated with this show every time someone was talking about Log Horizon. Very good idea to keep the opening and only change the ending (it's not about which was better, the ending wasn't heavily associated with LH like the opening was).

Man, William looks really cool with DEEN's redesign, judging by the illustrations in the other thread, that's how he's supposed to looks in the LN. Looks like Deen decided to brings character's design closer to the original. Why not.

Maybe the things everyone is bitching about being spoilers wouldn't be such spoilers if everyone weren't constantly bitching about them being spoilers?

It's alright to reveal a little bit about the story's conclusion as long as the circumstances are kept shrouded in mystery. This is exactly what is being done here. Let it drift to the back of the audience's minds while they watch the story unfold. It'll then hit that much harder when the actual scene comes around. A lot of novels and light novels use this by having a prologue that will highlight a pivotal scene or moment in the story to catch the reader's interest. The reader is expected to forget about this as they are introduced to the story under a different context and situation.

The way people are bitching about this now, I'll be surprised if people still are complaining about this when the actual episode relating to these scenes rolls around.

Also, thanks a lot for the unmarked Roe2 spoilers...

Gotta stick to that database, database! I was a little worried about the change of animation studios, especially deen, but it is looking phenomenal so far and still has the same Log Horizon feel. I like how it's wasted no time with Shiroe's strategizing, looking forward to where this leads. I am so confused about that ending though, this looks like it's going to keep me guessing for a while.

^ Haven't seen any spoilers (luckily) but just keep it out of anime discussions. It's that simple.

With that much money, Shiroe either wants to by the city, the land, or the bank system. Or any combination of this.

Of the first two it depends who he has to pay the money too. If he owns the one recieving the 10 million/month, he can simply lower/remove the cost or transfer the money back.

If he controls the bank system, he has nearly unlimited money. So either way, problem solved. The later would also help for future endeavours. Though owning the city itself, not only some buildings would surely also open some possibilities for someone like Shiroe.

I wonder if the NPCs have money in noteworthy amounts. I mean, maybe not 80 trilliion, but a kingdom should have several billions when owning some facilities in a city costs 10 million. And Shiroe just happens to be good friends with a certain princess..

Besides that: Too bad they switched the ED. Database is nice and all, but nothing compared to the original ED :/

I was a bit nervous with Studio DEEN adapting this season, but so far, so good.

I love how this series has an explanation for almost everything in an MMORPG. With the revival and now the coins from monsters. I'm sure there were other explanations, but I don't remember off the top of my head.

New ending sounds nice.

Good first episode.

The animation is noticeably different from the first...in a bad way. Some characters look better and some look terrible now while the first season seemed balanced in the way that everyone looked like they belonged there/not out of place. Lot of screenshots showing that in the first couple of pages in this thread. Things don't look as smooth; they're a bit more gritty and the colors are somewhat odd. Guess I just want to say that things aren't as smooth/consistent as the first season's.

Moving on from the animation...Seems like there's going to be some action already. Didn't expect there to be money troubles with all the festivals they threw and are throwing. Looking forward to the next episode!

I know what you mean. I enjoy things the most when it all clicks together at one moment in the series. I usually start trying to piece things together constantly after I see those scenes but not because I want to. I'm just doing it subconsciously and I hate it.

Actually they didn't. If you look at Marie you will realize she has been downsized. Kanami's boobs did not become bigger since this one is a different avatar/character (Swashbuckler --> Monk) from the one in Shiroe's flashbacks, since it is her first appearance in the TV series, we cannot say they become bigger.

If anything it seems Akatsuki's boobs got an upgrade, from nonexistent to teenager sized.
