There wasn't any politics this episode. There wasn't even any "black heart glasses" shit. He literally walked in, asked the guy for help, and he just straight up agreed with no questions asked.


no politics might have been the first episode anyway didn't he say something like that he died and it changed him since the last time they met I think that's why he just agreed so suddenly might be wrong tho:P

Just compared to first season...Otherwise its not that bad


But that is sort of the point. If you go back to the first season you will find plenty of frames that are as equally as bad as this season. Animation quality has never been Log Horizon's strength (good story is). This is typical for an NHK animation, you won't get good or bad, you will just get average.

From my personal viewpoint, I think Deen has a far richer palette than last season. That is their strength, their weakness is certain character shots.
Still too early i guess...Only 2 episodes and the only frames we saw some characters were deformed so some of us assume it is standard...but maybe it will get better....

True, the reason why William agreed to help Shiroe was because William understood that he was wrong when he walked out of the Round Table meeting (indeed the reason why he was in Hokkaido was because he thought his staying would undermine the Round Table). He accepted because he did not want to betray Shiroe a second time. The animation touched on it (William telling Democracy san that he couldn't beat Shiroe), but it was covered better in the novel.

Volume 6 and 7 both don't have a whole lot of politics and volume 9 sure as hell doesn't have any politics. So if that's why you're here, prepare for disappointment.

Also reveals of major plot points or information about characters must be spoiler-tagged if it counts as an LN/manga spoiler. I've tagged or removed several references to one in particular in this episode discussion.

Was a nice episode and the final boss rade is finally here

Tetora and Demiqas arrive, in which one being happy/one being pissed off.

Akatsuki's mission is to protect the princess and it seems a new character possibly part of the southern spies will be later revealed soon

Cant wait for next episode!

Yep,i don't like the art style in this :/ Marielle looks like an entirely different character.

Ugh, that pop star girl is really annoying, i hope she doesn't get much screen time

I didn't noticed that Regan was such a perv lol

Other than that, the part with Shiroe was funny, and this was a good episode

Regan is hilarious, but I am getting some strong vibes that he's really a sociopathic villain. It's kind of cool that someone as important to the game lore as the Sage of Miral Lake is following Shirou and company around though; I hope we see a lot more of him. :)

That was a content filled episode. Cannot wait to see the end of this raid and what kind of loot they will get.

And Tetra sounds familiar... I knew it, she voice Milliana of FT. Hahaha. She is so fun.

Hyped for the next ep.

In general,I like the art less,though I like Soujiro more,at least,based on the intro to the first ep. And I wonder how will the raid go...probably not very well.

3/5

The truth is that I did not like the way this episodio.In this S2 there is something wrong, it was much more intriguing the previous season.
Shiro seems to have lost a little polish.
Mah! Perhaps it is the director or the script does not like, such as the fact of being confused about some events, due to the fact you may have missed some steps. For example, how is that now Marie and Nao are so intimate?
Another point that I do not like is that it has lost time in the first part, it's fun, but almost denotes a lack of ideas.
Drawing really bad, I preferred the old Character Design.
But I like the ending as that of the first season. LOL

Boy, do I ever hate Akatsuki. At least she's separated from the party for awhile so her parts are easy to skip. She's nothing but a tiny bundle of character tropes that I despise. Stupid flat-chested little bitch.

Tetra is entertaining, lol. The fact that apparently she's a
only makes me like her even more ;)

Looks like there's some inter-raid tension between Demikas and Shiroe. I predict trouble's coming once they get into the raid dungeon intself.

Awww, Naotsugu and Marielle. So glad the two of them look to be a ship together. I hope Akatsuki dies young and alone, knowing that Naotsugu found love and she didn't >:)

I'm rather curious how/when did Naotsugu and Marielle get so intimate with each other.

Name one.

Although I guess it's kinda moot since even top guilds are expected to wipe out several times before they learn enough to fine tune their strategy to the point where they can actually defeat the raid boss.

Couldn't have agreed more, the two of them were pretty amusing to watch.

And I think I'm most excited about the Naotsugu-Marielle scene, it was so adorable, seeing such quiet and endearing sides to them.

So much suspense at the end, although I'm sure Shiroe will handle it as smoothly as he always does. Looking forward to the next episode!

Well,
the most easiest and not so spoiler-ish is...

He drag Shiroe away from battle area (episode 1) ^^;

Or play some guessing game with opening scene (the major spoiler of all place -_-)

Then is she/he really a wannabe-she in the real word? For those LN readers, was it revealed already that he's literally a she? Or is he just fond of using a female char in mmos he played.
"I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him."

Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this:

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE.

Marielle and Naotsugu developing well. I wouldn't entirely "ship" them yet, but it's fun watching a bunch of adults act like sappy teenagers for no reason.

The animation disappointed itself again.... seriously, the Princess looks like she has a lazy-eye issue, what happened to the beautiful bishoujo of Season 1? And why the heck after one season of running around like a tomboy without a care does she have to be trapped in a palace like the damsel in distress? I feel like we're totally wasting her character here.

Naotsugu and Regan are seriously the best comedy duo that side of the Database XD
I'm loving their chemistry!

Nice to see Demi-glace again. It's a shame he's gonna mess up the raid somehow and cause Shiro to "die". Though if I'm to be perfectly honest, I'm more interested in how Akastuki dies on her side, given if she fails her mission, the Princess may also kick the bucket (and since she's an NPC, that means perma-death, right?).

Next Episode Please!
And fix the animation a bit at least!

I think most MMO veterans know how to know which one real which one is not. And its not that uncommon though. Akatsuki was actualy one of them. There are more of them and will be hinted on EP 3-4 on how Roderik save the day.

I was really hoping I could look past the new animation, but the facial expressions are killing me. Shiroe specifically is the worst; his expressions this episode were horrible to say the least. I feel like DEEN has no idea how to draw Shiroe in general.

Also, princess Rayneshia now looks to be ~11 years old for some reason. Does anyone know her actual age in the LN? This completely changes how I view her and Krusty's interactions.

FWIW, I really enjoyed the first season and Shiroe's expressions were a big part of that. It also seems like the animation this episode overall had a ton of quality issues, though not quite on the level of Rail Wars!

This is going to be a long 25 episodes since my OCD won't let me drop shows.
