| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty intense episode. Gotta admit the boss was pretty OP this episode compared to some of the previous at least. If Shiroe's team is having this much trouble.... Lol, the weapons they are using are quite classic though. X-Men like claws, bow & arrow, magic, etc. So yeah, I thought the episode's momentum was pretty well done with this and the past few episodes. The bosses also were god-like. Wish they didn't use some of the same frames this episode but what can you do. Pretty solid first half still. |

| Very difficult and annoying enemy... When the evil side is broken, it will absorb other outnumbered enemies. Somehow other enemies from other areas appeared. So they were burnt to death. Main guy's turn to see that another world like Assassin girl did. Being lonely and thinking about how he should have done. Then to a space that met her, but from his point of view. Battle continues. |

| Decent episode with a decent battle~ |

| Nice monologue. Don't remember such a long one since a certain Hunter x Hunter episode. |
| Pretty tough spot. 3 Raid bosses. Let's see how Shiroe gets out of this one. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Not sure how to interpret that next episode preview, but it looks like Silver Sword's morale just took a nosedive. I think, if Elder Tale is a good game (and it seems to be), then taking on one enemy should be noticably easier than taking on two that each hit half as hard. As for how they're going to defeat this raid... maybe they won't? Or maybe the solution is to finish off Luseat before Taltaulgar and Ibrahabra show up. Interesting look at the shortcomings Shiroe sees in himself. Makes him a more rounded character than the "perfect strategist" he seemed to be portraying. |
| No wonder they lost. That was pretty much an impossible game to win O_O 3 raid bosses in one room XD Real Shiroe looks pretty ugly lol...well nice self exploring he did there. Anyway most of the rest was the same as Akatsuki's death. I don't mind actually. Seeing it from both perspectives ^^ Time for some planning nxt :3 I wonder what they're gonna do about this situation? Loved the OST this ep though. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode. Love the fight with the boss. It reminds me of a time when I was playing a certain JRPG game where you need annoying tactics to beat the boss. Shiroe's real counterpart really looks different that I was kind of shocked to see. Didn't realize he'd look like that in real life. |
| This is a signature. |
| 3 raid bosses at the same time. Did the rules somehow change? The purple raid boss reminded me a bit of Orgoth the Relentless from Yugioh. http://uploads3.yugioh.com/card_images/321/detail/Orgoth-the-Relentless.jpg?1375129572 I would be annoyed too if I faced a monster that recovered HP if their initial armor broke into HP recovering goblins. That boss was pretty OP. Heavy attacks, can recover HP, and it has 2 other bosses to back it up, KILLER battle right there. Doesn't Shiro have any type of defense lowering or attack increasing spellcasters in his group? Shiro's past was pretty sad. He's all by himself, no friends, parents working all day/night. He looked very tall when he was at the moon with Akatsuki. Idk, maybe it's the usual white clothes make Shiro look small. |
 |
| The "real-life" scenes were great, but very different from that of Akatsuki's. Whilst Shiroe's world was quite calm and had a lack of action, Akatsuki's was convoluted and disorienting. I guess it was the difference of their mindsets as they died in-game. |
 |
| All these raid bosses made me remember Vindictus. |

|
| It was nice to see how they would deal with a raid boss, all those aoe attacks were pretty nice to witness. Two more raid bosses joining in and wiped the party! Shiroe witnessing the feelings of death, it was nice to see just who he was in the reality. He also looking different too. Meeting Akatsuki again, it was nice to see Shiroe saying all that. |
 |
dobinz said: tons of recycle animation fuckin DEEN LOL, yeah, its DEEN being high as fuck. |
| Shiroe dead, but got revive, back to the game. |
| I'm super stoked to see what tricks Shiroe pulls out of his enchanted hat given how high the odds are stacked against them with 3 raid bosses. Haven't seen alot of the true 'villain in glasses' persona for quite a long while, so I can not be more pleased. Sadly, it seems like the next ep will be alot to do with pep-talking and speeches, etc, given the preview and the title. |
| The raid was good and so was the nice slow second part. Good epi, raising the score. |
Good god. Shiroe looks soooooooo Asian irl. He's making that face being like: "I faired agrain. Only got an A- on test." Oh... and the episode. Just meh again. Classic DEENing. |

| That boss looks insanely hard without any addons (looking at you DBM). Sure they use one guy to count the cooldown of one ability, but with 3 bosses simultaneously... Normally you'd dedicate one tank to each boss and tank 2 of them separate from the raid. Say main boss in the middle, one to the left and one to the right. Ranged stack so healers can reach all tanks, and melee stack in front of the boss. Spread momentarily if an ability requires it, but otherwise stay stacked for AoE protections and healing. That wouldn't work here though, in Log Horizon tactics I'd probably split the group into 3. Send a tank and a couple healers to each of the doors where the other bosses came from. They'll run in before the bosses comes out and tank them there, thus preventing the bosses from entering the main raid room. That way the rest of the raid can finish the main boss in peace while out of range from the other bosses' abilities. Once he's down you bring in one of the others, take him out then bring in the last one. |

| Raid is too hard, pls nerf. |
| Just when one boss fight is hard enough, another 2 bosses join in. Yup, they got screwed so bad. Good to see the real face of Shiroe. Hoping to see Akatsuki next since she wasn't fully shown in past episodes. |
| Didn't like the recycled scenes at the end, but pretty exciting episode. Loved the different phases and mechanics the boss has. I wonder how they'll deal with 2 other raid bosses. Need some off tanking and split dps action :3. |
| Raid too op pls nerf. Seriously I almost forgot that there's the 3rd party that brought them into the game world. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Shiroe's RL character design looks quite Japanese. Still surprised me a bit. Anyway 3 raid bosses at once. Brutal this is. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Am I really the only one that absolutely hates this character focus in the second season? This backstory shit this episode and 6 or 7 with Akatsuki was so damn boring. Also how everybody is stroking each other shafts with their nakama power and compliments. Good god this shit better stop and focus more on the fights/tactics and world secrets like in S1. I got so close to dropping this shit a dozen times already this season, and its bloody S2. If it where S1 this thing would have landed on the dropped pile real quick. |
| That Luseat was OP to begin with, and when the 2 other raid bosses appeared; it became an impossible quest! Democracy-san was finally able to get back at Shiroe, even if a little with that kick. XD Loved Shiroe's monologue once he died. A lot of self-reflection there. Good thing he decided to open up more to his close people. Although they used the same frames from the previous episode, Shiroe and Akatsuki meeting in the moon was pretty nice to see again; especially how she was rejoicing to see her Shukun after so long. (^^) Good episode. It'll be interesting to see how Shiroe plans the next counterattack. |

It's a completely different anime than season 1 was. I'm all about character-driven shows, but that isn't what I signed up for with this one. You can't just change course halfway through a thing. |
| Quality Queen. |
| An anime about mmorpg with real scenes of a mmorpg battle, awesone. And hahaha an anime with japaneese characters who look like real japaneese hahahaha. Great Episode! |
| This episode reminded me of Tokyo Ghoul's ending so much...Amazing way to flesh out Shiroe's character. Recycled animation aside, a wonderful episode. 5/5 |

| Finally can see Shiroe and also real life version and at least the raid boss battle was exciting to watch. |
 |
| Minor question: What's that shot of Shiroe getting up out of the snow about anyway? Unrelated: Still not sure how Shiroe arrived at the 80 trillion gold figure when the guild hall cost only 5 million up front, and Akiba's facilities somehow cost only 10 million per month to maintain. O.o? Maybe he wants to buy all of Yamato? |
| This episode was amazing, getting to see Shiroe's side of it |
 |
| To be honest, that raid boss looked rather awesome. That Luseat raid boss is freaking strong and now I can understand how their raid party was defeated... LOL, Shiroe took a Tetora to the face XD. Ah, so two more raid bosses came to help Luseat and that's why the raid party was defeated... damn... LOL, so that's how Shiroe looks in real life eh... XD? So Shiroe had a rather sad childhood and he refused the help of others T.T Shiroe... dem feelings bro T.T |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I liked the raid boss fight at the beginning, 3 bosses at same time is too powerfull LOL. The last part of the episode felt slow paced, and it seems like we have seen this kind of scene several times before? |

| Another great episode! I'm really happy now. 3 great episodes in three weeks. :D This week's raid was damn intense and great. This is exactly what I loved about Log Horizon and I'm glad it's made a comeback. Guessing the raid'll last another couple of episodes. All in all, Log Horizon's back on track and I couldn't be any happier. |
