Glad this arc is over.  |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Effing finally, now onto business. Just hope next episode gets to the raid itself and isn't solely comprised of magic death land filler nonsense. |
| Quality Queen. |
| 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. >.< |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| Well, Akatsuki is getting the development now because the previous season she was.. not very useful. I'm happy for that, good episode. |
Oh, come on DEEN, are you serious? Aside from this atrocity, the animation was kinda good overall. I just don't understand how could they screw it up like this on Lenessia. |

| I love the Akatsuki character development |
| 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. GOD DAMN IT. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| For once the outro music was actually appropriate |
| Shiro the bae next episode. Raid after raid |
 |
| 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. The raid episodes will be much better though so can't wait for that. |
 |
| Pretty good episode. Akatsuki was cute towards the end when talking with Shiroe lol |
    |
| Some great stuff. My favourite so far. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Finally the Akatsuki arc is over |
| The explanation of kiting and Akatsuki's new Kage Bunshin no Jutsu skill was nice This arc however has lost it's elegance and charm of the first season looking at Lennessia and Akatsuki |
| Finally can see Shiroe in the next episode, the Akatsuki arc was a bit too much but good that it is over now. |

LazyLuong said: 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. Quite sure this is the best way for it to work. Tatara didn't write the flavour text, nor does she have any control over what it says. It was generated by the world, and contains only truthful information about the weapon: that it was reforged by Tatara to help Akatsuki. I suspect Tatara was able to name the weapon though. (?) Good thing Akatsuki could never afford Byakumaru. O.O When you show season 1's Lennesia alongside season 2's.... >.> The difference seems to work pretty well for William though. Makes it look like all that high-level raiding has actually taken its toll on him. |
| ohh this was a good episode! loved how they all worked together and finally defeated that guy. and akatsuki's new power is nice. |
 |
| Good episode. Overskill... Shadow Lurk. Very nice. Now back to Shiroe! |
 |
| That was a really cool episode, did Akatsuki just use savage blow? hahaha She got ksed at the end too xD Looks like we will be back to Shiroe next episode. I'll admit I didn't think we would get any info about the real world, but after seeing the preview it looks like Shiroe is in some big trouble |
 |
| Well that was impressive. Up next is probably something even more interesting! |
| Way better episode than the last few, great fight scene too. Now hopefully we can get back to Shiroe's raid. |
| FINALLY! Fuck yeah! Akatsuki finally gets the respect she deserves. Terrific episode. Loved the coordination in the fights. Also, Shiroe at the end was great. Can't wait till we're back to Shiroe's raid. :D |
 |
| Seriously don't understand why they couldn't use the original animator for Lenesia. This second season made it look like her face was melting (for better reference, watch Shirobako ep 7). It's horrendous! That said, I find it weird how Akatsuki just grabbed the short sword out of thin air without so much as a "receive item" confirmation message. I guess it's all in line with the game becoming less like a game then? Would anyone care to enlighten me as to what will happen now that they've shut down the town shield protecting Akihabara from monsters? |

I've been wondering too, because it seemed like dude came out of nowhere. My guess is the former, since they took all that time making a big deal explaining it to us earlier. |
| Quality Queen. |
| Cool skill. That's the first time I liked Akatsuki a bit. Nice week overall. All the meh shows had a good episode. Judging by the ending, the next ep follows Shiroe's group at last. |
| Akatsuki get new skill that was nice timework, Akihabara Raid ended successfully seal the murderer can't wait to see Shiroe past :D |
 |
| the teachings are so classic 'way of the sword' smaurai style. love that. ok so what was the fox/wolf looking bloke at around 20 minutes doing. looks like he is playing the air piano, and maybe having a seizure. idk also wonder how many times that makes it that shiroe and his raid group have attempted to complete that dungeon. such game dedication. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Carry roles can't win without the help of support class... new skill was strong |
 |
| DATABASE made a cameo again. Dat air piano playing Akatsuki's new teaching + weapon was awesome !!! Great teamwork from all the girls in Ahkibara. Shiroe's POV from episode 6 next time |
| Is it just me or has this series become "The Akatsuki Chronicles" as of late? Not that I mind, since she's a cutie, but they're really playing favoritism with her. XD |
| They had a really good strategy with kiting the enemy. Shadow lurk was badass! Now it's turn for Shiroe's christmas eve pov. Excited for the retry! |
| Something finally happened! And seems more are on its way! Fuck yeah! |

| Wait, Tatara reforged the sword and its flavor text was rewritten. Since flavor texts' description and effects are becoming real now, that makes blacksmiths OP as hell doesn't it? Much like how Shiroe's scribe sub-class enables him to make world-changing items as is the case with Rudy O__O |

Much like how Shiroe's scribe sub-class enables him to make world-changing items as is the case with Rudy O__O Not that OP. Shiroe's class changing contract, for example, required phantasmal class materials. Likewise forging a powerful weapon requires high level materials and a high level smith. |
| Extremely enjoyable episode :) I'm really glad that this is going to be 25 episodes not 12. I really hope the story takes a new turn soon though! So far so good I still think Dean makes Akatsuki and Lenessia look a little derp at times though :P |
| It could be better though if they split this raid into 2 or at least 1.5 episode, just get rid all those slow episode.-- It's just like the effort to shut down the magical barrier didn't play a big part, while it was one of the main plan in LN. And Akatsuki's Haganemushi not that OP, she need more than 20 slash to break Byakumaru, this supposedly can become a development scene rather than just skip almost all of it. 7/10.-- |

Shiroe's class changing contract, for example, required phantasmal class materials. Likewise forging a powerful weapon requires high level materials and a high level smith. This is NOT like Shiroe's contract. See my post one page back. The flavour text is generated by the world and shows the true story behind the weapon. Tatara cannot just write whatever flavour text she wants into the weapon and expect it to become true. Actually, I don't think she has any control over the flavour text, but maybe she was able to name the weapon. In contrast, Shiroe's contract did allow him to write something seemingly fictional, and make it come true (Rudy got the previously nonexistant "Adventurer" subclass). Given that he had to use the highest level paper and ink in the game just to give one willing Lander a nonexistant subclass, it seems OP, but not -that- OP. |
| As much as I love Akatsuki this arc was way too long, she kept pondering about the same thing again and again. That said I did loved her development, but now it's time to finally move onto the better raid. |
| Finally learn a skill thing omedatou:3 |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| I thought the arc was pretty good. Nice development for Akatsuki. Looks like we go back to Shiroe next episode. |
