Dat goblin king. Geez.

I'm kinda liking where this show is going with the creatures being a topic to explore now. Ah a ceremony too with goblins. I hope to see all the tribes this season. Rudy needs to be more confident though with his party.

They were too late though. Damn goblins..
Looks like this adapted volume 4's beginning. Looking forward to more!

good ep overall
but i cant believe how lazy this studio is, they seriously pause all monster animation while character talking at start of ep. that's fuckin ridiculous lazy. the animation of first 3 eps was far better. damn what the hell is wrong with them

Realizing that there's abnormality in the area of them training. Business group is also informed. Goblin group, huh? and it considers level 1, which players ignored it. King there is going to take care of it. The training group acted first.

Then that main guy reporting to everyone about what he heard from the magician. According to that guy who already lost parts of the memory, he lost the memory of real life.

The princess is... as well?

Looks like there is going to be real action and excitement after this after all the mind games, politics and relevations. Nice change of pace.

So the others know of the risks of deaths as well now...

Seems Crusty is already suffering slightly from it.

And the people of the land are not cooperating with the adventurers still, but each making their own plans by themselves. I don't see how that can be a good thing.

And the other group is rushing in to attack an army of unknown size and strength. Death could await there.

Minori become more like Shiroe now !


Yup, she's gradually turning into Shiroe-lite.

Not really fascinated with the episode, it was "O.K".. It felt like not much has happened in terms of action compared to the previous episode. I think next episode is going to be better.

Awesome episode.

The way the tension is building up is amazing :D

The live conference between all the guild heads was really nice. I totally didn't expect this to be as a result of not completing an event they normally do.

I'm interested to see these Heroes [Knights of Izumu] Stronger than the adventurers? Now that's gotta be BA!

Nice to see the kids taking the initiative and starting to get more confident but I feel they're being a bit too naive. Something bad is definitely gonna happen with all this foreshadowing about death and stuff. Well at least Naotsugu and Nyanta are with them now so this should be tense :D

I wonder if everyone would act differently


Loved the part when Shiro told them about the memory loss thing. Didn't expect someone as strong as Crusty to have already died twice and forgot somethings. But what he said is true. Without fearing death u'd just be a living dead so fearing death is better ^^

I wonder what Lenessia will do nxt ep?

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 :(

ok episode with some really bad animation quality in the very beginning.

i also cant get excited over some weak ass goblin king,a few goblin armys and some murlocs. fkin Hogger is more of a threat!

its not what i was looking forward to.

so this episode had little to offer except for the part where shiroe revealed the risks of dying to the others. that asided nothing else important happened.

2.5/5 this has to get better next week cause this show has been very enjoyable sofar.

I think the problem is the low budget (it's an NHK show) and not them being lazy. It's a slapdash work, because they don't have enough suitable people for this anime.

Well this and the next 4 episodes are going to be filled with a lot action and emotion but at the same it will have a dark and melancholy feel and those who read the light novel i think would already now this.

The part of the doll hit my hard cant believe how dark it got all of a sudden

What seemed so small and insignificant has now become a huge problem that shows how much they have to really take into consideration that this is no longer a game but real life if they haven't ignored the quests and slayed the goblin forces before the new king was crowned this whole situation wouldn't have happened and now people are dying because if this. and this for the adventurers as well i mean losing your memories bit by bit is like a slow painful death to me anyway

Well the hype is going to be huge now and now i want fly straight to japan and beg the studio to show me the advance screenings of the episodes because the waiting period has now reached th point of freak in murder me.

Looks like they were too late in saving that city. Crusty has already died a few times and seems to notice that he has lost some of his memories. This is getting intense.

hopefully it would quick a bit up on the pace, we could use some more action.. most of the episodes have been about information about the new world and adapting to it..
really like the idea about the event, if you compare to sao, which was completly out of genre, log horizon has a promising plot. lets hope ^.^

Pretty sure the Princess wants to become an Adventurer now thanks to Crusty's Look on Adventurer life. Cuase i'm sure Lenessia wants to be Free of her Royal Birth Right. if Rudy dies, i die.

Not really, this is what is great. It's like playing MMO and crying there are too much stats/items/etc to take care of.

Good ep, this show keeps getting better and better.

I don't think that Minori's party could even survive attacking the army of goblins. They obviously will need Nyanta and Naotsugu to help them.

Can't wait for an all-out war.

But that's the beauty of Log Horizon. Too many shonen thrust into action too much too soon with very little explanation on what's going on, which makes it hard to care for the characters or feel the tension of what's actually going on. How many times do you watch an action series and wonder "wtf are they talking about?" or "who is that guy?" or "the fuck is happening?"

I don't think this show is suitable for those who are looking for action every week. Where every other shonen just simply throw fights here and there and hope it catches your interest, this show took its sweet time building up to the action.. kinda like the current Chimaera Ant arc in Hunter X Hunter and now that the action is happening, all those waiting, talking, and building the suspense became worth it!

Shit's getting real. Interesting with this "war", that it forced Shiroe to spill the beans about the death penalty to everyone, probably sooner than he wanted.

guys, if you are wondering, the actions are starting the episode after the next one, there is first another thing which have to be cleared... and also about the knight of izumo... rewatch the last few episodes and you get the idea...

Poor Crusty! He's already lost some of his memories. Now, I really do believe that the People of the Land are former Adventurers that died one time too many.

Damn you, Goblins!!!!
