| Really love the negotiations and Shiroe's plans coming to fruition. Next week should be awesome at the round table :D |
| Shiroe may not possess any kind of braun, but he is still one BAMF!!! Shiroe is called the "Villain in Glasses," but Henrietta's got some wicked negotiation skills herself. She should be labeled "Villainess in Glasses." Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Subtle awesomeness. I'm loving this show. More Shiroe and Tea Party plz. I don't think I've been so excited about a discussion episode since GitS! |
| I just love how this anime is so much different than sao |
| Oh the intrigue! I love this show. Damn! have to wait another seven days till I find out the next stage to Shiroe's grand plan! |
| Mr. and Ms. villain in glasses.. |
 |
| Log Horizon, unlike SAO, captures the true essence of what MMORPGs are all about, money scams xD |
| One of the best episodes, and from the look of the preview it looks like the next one will be even better. I simply love this kind of economic theme, like in Spice&Wolf or Kaiji. It's gonna be one of my favorites this season. |
 |
| Like other s have said, heavy S&W vibes. The amount of time & effort they're spending on fleshing out the world is fanfuckingtastic. Always get a kick out of the action junkies calling episodes/shows like these boring. |
| Ahahaha. I love how they all have their ulterior motive personality talking. Now can't wait for Shiroe to head the guild masters meeting since everybody is such a fanboy for him. |

tsubasalover said: lol @ their "inside conversation" (does that count as the private conversation in online game? Or just personal thoughts?) during the deal with Nobu's character = the merchant. Deals stage (lol @ glasses fix count on justin.tv chat?). And those face changes. The story of how they joined the guild, including attack from that evil guild that the main fought before. New character again, Hino-san! Final stage coming soon and siblings also about to fight back. hmm i never considered that it could be private chat but i think it was just their internal thoughts. |
| "Keikaku Doori!" - just the way to describe the episode. This anime can keep me excited so easily, I almost can't wait for a whole week if it weren't for the other 18 animes I'm watching along with the MMOs I play, Youtube videos, friends and university finals... actually, I think I do have a lot of stuff to do in the meantime. But I still want to see the next episode as soon as possible! |

| Man, I am enjoying this which is quite amusing because I don't care in the slightest about the MMORPG factors of this anime, rather the plan of Shiroe's. |
| lawl at all their personal thoughts good ep. Shiroe, the "villain in glasses" he's more famous than what I first thought.. |
 |
| Wow, the episode went by so fast @w@ Let's see what Shiroe has in store for next episode. |
 |
| "just keep smiling" and everything will be fine... |

| I liked the pace in this episode. Not everything has to be filled with action. Shiroe is more famous than I thought, makes me want to know more about the Tea Party. Really interested in the characters highlighted in the preview. |
| Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy this series for what it is, but these mind games and back and forth are really showing the limits of the author. It seems like everyone else has to be dumbed down just for Shiroe to appear smart and far-sighted. A series like Liar Game, on the other hand, features legitimately intelligent and crafty people going at one another. Moreover, it's still not clear why Shiroe is so popular and well-respected among the general public. I mean, yeah, sure, he was the brain behind the Tea Party, but realistically speaking, no single guild in a MMORPG receives that much attention anyway. His brilliance thus far is often asserted but not proven. For example, this entire plan with the crescent burger is just so underwhelming. The author tried to play it off as an ingenious plan, but who couldn't have thought that up given the circumstances? To me it feels rather like people look up to him for no reason. Whatever though, I guess... |
| Log Horizon keeps getting better and better...looking like it could make my top 5 list. So excited for the next episode. :D |
| Shiroe better end up with Akatsuki when this anime is over |
| This anime just gets several folds better by each passing week! The episode summarizes how intelligent and intriguing this anime can be! Shiroe is fcuking famous! I have no idea how he got hold of the Griffons because it sounds like it was one helluva mission from how everyone talks about it! The Villain in o_o is so damn awesome! Best male lead of the season by quite some distance! Kaiburr said: Shiroe better end up with Akatsuki when this anime is over That would be a major PLUS. But honestly, the anime has so many good things that I am not trying to get distracted. Coming from a romance fan! |

dobinz said: little detail anime version didnt add. Touya was disabled in real life he cant walk, thats why act so happy about walking and running after enter the game world Oh so that's why he was doing that happy stomp. I thought it was just a simple display of amusement haha. But then again, considering their situation, being amused at being stuck in a game does seem unnatural. But when you think about it, it also shows why a lot of people don't seem too concerned about returning to the real world. Doing things you can't do in real life and having fun doing it? Heck sometimes I wish I lived in a virtual world. |

| dam episode 8 is just wow like awesome and i just Loving every moment of this anime |
| '"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?4th Espada |
| Solid episode. Interesting to see more of the business/psychological side of a game rather than the typical action. Good build up to the climax which should happen in the next few episodes. |
| Shiro is a genius this episode kept my attention the whole episode. |
| really getting into this! the negotiations were very interesting. I wonder if they were using some sort of private message system during it, or if it was just personal thoughts. |

| I like where this anime is going, but it really needs to focus more on finding out why they are there. Everyone is taking their situation a little too easily; you'd think there would be way more people desperate to figure out what's going on. |

I think it's fine people are more resilient than they think. Also, there's no true death in that world so they are not as paranoid as those in SAO. dobinz said: little detail anime version didnt add.

| Widely known as villain in glasses huh... With that rape-face face he kept making every time he have bad things in store for his enemies... I'm not surprise. |

Whatever though, I guess... Well, at least Shiroe demonstrates actual intelligence. It ain't an informed ability, so its all good. Lelouch from Code Geass on the other hand... Besides, who knows what will happen in the negotiation next episode. Maybe those other Guild masters will challenge him (particularly the glasses guy in blue armor). |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
| Hm... using those blue "ghost sprites" (I don't really know what to call them) was an intersting method to show the difference between the external face and their internal thoughts. Worked quite well for a negotiation scene. ^^ SkyTate said: I thought an earlier episode said he was an engineering student.Haha Shiroe must be some epic business student or just... *Glasses power* Another negotiation ep... hoping for more action though Still, gotta wonder why no-one else has discovered how to cook tasty food. The chef population couldn't be -that- low, right? I guess they're selling the preparation method since it's only a matter of time until the knowledge becomes so widespread that it won't be worth much anymore. O.o? |

| 5/5 eminagnam said: The negotiations were unexpectedly thrilling and interesting. I felt S&W vibe. I agree with your thinking when it comes to negotiations between merchants as described below, the mind can not go to S & W! Fabulous! dowson417 said: Blackbird said: IT's all important with negotiations! Shiroe with all respect and Minori & Toya will try to fight as well. Probably a discussion to change the world and fight against this evil guild. The pace of anime is normal but still I wish it could be faster. :D no no, you don't want it to be faster tbh, this is the perfect pace for Log Horizon right now. The show is more about strategy and management than you think it is about battles. That aside, perfect episode. And you know what comes next: freakin' CLIMAX!! I also agree with this thought, this is the right pace that's climax! Amarrez said: If you were doubting this was from the same author as Maoyuu before, you certainly are not now. I think you're right! XD Good episode! Too bad the graphics, if it were of a different caliber, the hype would be a thousand! Intriguing plot and narrative from the Cold War, tension at the highest levels. This anime is growing great, I hope to continue like this, because there will be a lot of fun with the rest of the seventeen episodes that remain to be seen. Designs that need to improve, can not be so rough, and more details in the scenarios is that in the costume design. The color design is affixed instead! |

| This was a rather Spice & Wolf-esque episode. The 'Adjusting Your Glasses' trope is really getting on my nerves... |
| The 2 main stories were combined well Twins background and the business negotiations |

Whatever though, I guess... Yes this was a problem with Maoyuu too. Although there it was more about Maou having access to way more advanced technology and stuff. I think it comes from the author being more interested in world building than character interaction. The deep mind games are sacrificed to give way to sweeping world changes. I don't think it is too unrealistic though. I mean the really good ideas are almost always obvious once you know about them and it's more a race for who can come up with them first. And from our point of view everything is going to seem obvious. If you think like that then maybe your suspension of disbelief will have an easier time ^^ But that doesn't mean it makes for an interesting story though xD Also it is fully possible for guilds and individual players being that famous. At least it was back when I played wow and I can think of multiple examples ^^ |
| Haha, that was a good conference. Can't wait until next ep :D |
