| It seems not a lot of people play MMO's here, I am actually happy that it is not all flashy action. You need planning and strategy in order to do well in MMO's, so given that premise I am quite happy with the whole analytical way this anime is going for, it gives scope for some interesting scenarios, If you are patient enough that is. |
| I liked the setup of this episode. It seems leaving quests undone has consequences. I do hope this builds the relationship between Eastal and Akiba. At the same time, Scrub Horizon's traoning makes more sense now eh? We needed to see their personal growth in order to believe that they can participate in the Guerilla War defending Choshu. Because without it criticisms of how the B Team just "magically" is able to stand up against mobs will crop up. Anyways I can't wait to see the strategies and tactics developed in this first full scale raid that the Adventurers of Akiba will run. So exciting |
| Mini shiroe, Minori-chan! Next ep will be interesting though I think the princess gets most of the screen time. |
| A war is approaching. I can already imagine the various tactics and plans Shiroe will put in motion. If anyone wanted more action here it comes! |
 |
| I hate those kids.. They can't even free themselves from the guild if Shiro and co. didn't save them and they want to fight thousands of goblins and risk the relationship between adventurers and people of the land? Wtf. |
| I have my doubts about Rudy being part of the People of the Land. Unless I'm missing something, I think that his situation ties in with the memory loss thing. I personally think that Rudy's died a lot of times before (it's possible since his level isn't exactly high, and plus Akihabara used to be a pretty wild place), so much so that he's lost quite a bit of memories from the past. Maybe all of them? I know that Crusty said that he's only lost a few insignificant memories but he's died only a couple of times, and not only that, his level is pretty up there, unlike Rudy. So what if the memory loss is more effective to people who don't have that much of a high level? There's also that scene in the OP with Rudy dying, which could either indicate that he will die or that he already has. This is just my theory, but I think that the game, or whoever's 'in charge' of the game wants to make it so that Adventurers who lose their memories completely become one of the People of the Land. |
| They are probably looking for a fast way back to the cathedral haha. Minori has developed a lot since joining Shiroe. I love the serious look on her face 可愛い～！ |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I want to to see Minori become a strategist of a new Tea Party and they conquer everything. |
| Eh |
Blackbird said: Yeah it's going to get better !! :D Minori become more like Shiroe now ! Yeah! Interesting character development |
| argh this anime's snail pacing |
| Great episode and Minoti FTW!!! |
| That was a great ep, Minori's idea really is clever, using Sun Tzu's The art of War tactic!! >__< Really am interested in the next episode and where the series is heading, and the princess finally gonna step up XD Riez said: inb4 the action-packed arc starts , DON'T YOU DARE DIE RUDY ! EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS |
| Better than the two previous episodes |
| Those kids or naive because what adventure does quest for no reward. If you were in a mmo where dieing teleported you away from everyone. Would you do quest just for the fun of it no you wouldn't. |

| was a very nice ep of log horizon.. more strategy and some confirmation on the memory loss~ (rather that it occurs ) .. Minori's plan is strategically accurate ~ |
| awsome going offensive ehh.. minori is always kawaii.. very nice ep.. |
 |
| The arc finally starts and everyone prepares for the Goblin attack. Nice and clear explanations by Shiroe regarding the Goblin King quest as expected and he explained about the consequences with ease. I still hard to find it hard how Marielle hasn't really done anything to do help the members but she is kind of like a motivator or a mascot in some sort of way but she is a likable character. I'm sensing a second Shiroe in Minoru particularly with that ending scene!! Looking forward to the next episode!! 5/5 |

xchee said: The awesome music in this episode just says "shit just got real." When Tohya saw the goblins with the doll I found myself saying "oh no" audibly. I hope the little girl's still alive somewhere but seeing Tohya bury the doll, it's probably the wholeome and toned down way of telling us "yep the little girl got slaughtered by goblins." And the People of the Land can't resurrect... T______T When Minori struck that ground with her staff, honestly it sent chills down my spine. I'm just touched...our little noob newbie girl is growing up so fast right before our eyes*sniff* I sense a death flag has been raised for Rudy. Nooo not my dog :( ^ +1 for all that Minori was spot on there, fight the goblins head on! The risks of death to adventurers have finally been explained. Yep, the beginning of the 4th novel has been adapted now. Next few episodes should be full of action, but it will have a dark and sad side to it all. Good change of pace really. Knights of Izumo.. wonder how they look like and how powerful they really are. And whether they actually exist? Or are they somehow dead already? |
 |
| Great plan Minori!!! Where did the knights go too. Are they protecting the King? Did the Knights of Izumo disappear during world fraction? |
| that title.. I was thinking of the lord of the ring. Due to the budget problem , sometimes I'm really just taking this as a drama CD or something I'm fine with that...but I really hope there would be a better adoption. |
| Rudy is so annoying... |
 |
| Rudy is a pain in the ass. I hope he dies and forget all his memories. Jk, but really, Minori is doing great so far :3 |
| The healer wants to be party leader... WHAT? |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
stellalala said: Meh... Needs more Akatsuki. And Shiroe. These little kids are getting boring. Like really boring. she wont play a big role soon untill the 6. book, which sadly wont be adapted (she is there in 5th book, yes, but not as main protagonist) |
| current LN reading: Death March kara hajimaru isekai kyousoukyoku translated here for those who are interested in other forums about animes, check randomc.net, reddit.com/r/anime and forum.animesuki.com |
| So I'm assuming landers also turn into bubbles upon death or is the lack of bodies another censorship issue? Oh Rudy you are amassing quite a number of death flags there. |
| ... BAD IDEA MINORI. BAD.BAD.BAD. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF RUDY DIES HUH?! ᕙ(｀皿´)╯ |
| the goblins have come XD majiloveanime said: Haha LOL Minori just want to like Shiroe.... BAD IDEA MINORI. BAD.BAD.BAD. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF RUDY DIES HUH?! ᕙ(｀皿´)╯ |

stellalala said: I agree..Meh... Needs more Akatsuki. And Shiroe. These little kids are getting boring. Like really boring. |
 |
| Oh, I think I get the Rudy thing (totally ignored in this episode, but I believe they throw a big hint today). vilmarbf said: The healer wants to be party leader... WHAT? In some MMO's e MOBA's this is very common, because the healers/supports can look the things more cleary from the rear. |
 |
| Haaaah.... For those people crying "ACTION! ACTION!" these past few eps be prepared for... more talks and politics next ep. Honestly peeps mindless action just isn't how Mamare Touno lays his plot. There is action but it's very sporadic and concise. Even this upcoming war w/ the goblins and sahuagins would have very concise battles. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they crammed it in one ep. The main battle and not w/ Minori and party. W/c is very doable mind you. It wouldn't take much out of the whole narrative. Point is this series was adapted from a light novel w/c is more plot and character driven than anything else. Do not expect this to be a straight up "Shounen" battle series cause it honestly isn't. And if you can't stand that then there's the door... I might be being a little harsh here but honestly I don't really think you'll find anything more to like after this arc so might as well spare you some yawns (and us facepalming while reading these "More action!!!" comments every ep). |

vilmarbf said: The healer wants to be party leader... WHAT? I'm not even sure what MMO you've played to ask that question. Party leader/strategist has nothing to do with a player's class & is different than being on the front lines leading/scouting. |

As far as I know they are those NPCs that prevents the players PK in town like in some MMOs. |

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 |
| Getting pretty serious now :D |
| Finally volume 4! NHK please be good. |
