| I wonder what Shiroe's long term plans are and what he's thought of to counter the transport gates, if they come back online. It's tempting to go read the LN as waiting a week for a new episode is almost painful. :p |
| Yes the cogs are oiled up and ready to roll! Shiroe buying the guild hall so op hahaha that's the ultimate leverage |
| first, the strategy is simple but while it's simple, it's really easier said than done. second. shiroe is scary, third, this series keep getting awesome. fourth , I WANT MORE!!!! Mod Edit: Spoiler from Light Novel removed. Do not discuss the Light Novel beyond this point! sir, may i ask you, in novel,which volume that the current episode right now? |

| GM patch this OP bullshit pls |
| Shiroe actually be very sneaky XD |
 |
| Shiro really thinks so far ahead. He set everyone up so much. His goals are pretty logical, he ultimately wants to set up a world where everyone can play the game freely without worry of being player killed or enslaved. |
 |
| Shiroe FTW!!! |

Any way great OST as always. Love the direction in this adaptation. I just hope they keep it up until the end. Mod Edit: Spoiler from Light Novel removed.

| About why no-one bought the building sooner: Since Crescent Moon had to call in the heads of the biggest merchant guilds, I think it's a fair assumption that no individual person could have bought the guild building through their own resources. Also, 5 million appears to be a LOT of money, even from the richest guilds' point of view. I'm assuming that merchant guilds are a lot richer than battle guilds. Secondly, the big guilds were only willing to throw in 4.5 million gold because they thought it would give them a profitable monopoly on the food industry. (Well, they probably will have a monopoly on the food industry for a short while. I'm not sure how to interpret Michitaka's reaction to Shiroe asking him "Why do you think this isn't worth 5 million?". Does he feel cheated, or does he think he'll still be able to turn a profit with the current state of the food industry?) Maybe since it wasn't for sale before, almost no-one checked, and anyone who did was turned off by the high price. Perhaps they also weren't "villain" or "demon" enough to realise that owning the guild building would give them huge extortion power. I also get the impression that they've only been in Elder Tale for less than a month... O.o I know none of this prooves that no-one else could have purchased the guild building. However, it doesn't feel like -that- big of a logic anomaly to me. Provided it's not a spoiler, does anyone who's read the novel know any more about this? |
| The other guilds most likely just never checked. It wasn't possible back when ET was still a game so they probably assumed that's still how stuff works. Technically, they all believe they're in a game so it's normal to assume that public zones such as the guild building area belongs to the game itself. The same can be said with regards to cooking. It's such a simple idea how come nobody else figured it out? I think that's because all of them are still acting under the notion that everything works like it was in the game. That and like that Silver Sword dude said, they just don't care as long as they get to do their own business. |

| fcking cliffhangers. And that glass raise lol |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Cliffhangers :( Shiroe is one badass character. Loving him as the protagonist! |
| I can't deny the fact that I'm liking this more than SAO. :\ Gamers would want anime like SAO and LH. But in comparison, I'm liking LH a bit more. This episode answered ALL my questions. :DD I thought the 5 million would be like buying the building that was previously shown for his guild or other things. It gave me goosebumps after Shiroe told the Round Table that he bought the guild bulding. He got me alright. Touya :'> I wanna know who the long braided girl was. :> This anime is getting better each episode. Much hype for the next. |

| Glasses tilting everywhere, loved the conference. Love how evil Shiro can become. Shredder, haha. Cliffhanger, can't wait for next episode |
 |
| sht just got real this ep :P |
| I knew he was planning to buy a building/property but I never guessed he'd buy the Guild Building. Shiroe never ceases to amaze me. |
| Shiroe is a MMORPG players worst nightmare. He actually thinks. Villain in Glasses? More like "Bispectacle Lucifer". |

| Oh man, Shiroe is getting more and more badass with each episode. |
| wow, that's Shiroe for you! Subarashii! He's a "real villain in glasses" lol He's like the president of the guilds now. Omoshiroi. This episode was damn good! I found myself laughing like a villain while watching this hahahahaha! |
| lol spoiler ...and it's just a discussion for episode 9 of the anime... I don't really mind seeing them since I myself read the LN but I find it very weird that one of the guys here suddenly posting event from the future when the discussion is about the round table conference Mod Edit: Spoiler from Light Novel removed. Do not discuss the Light Novel beyond this point! go home dobinz(not gonna visit this thread anymore lol) About the adaptation.. it's actually really good.. but yeah it's less darker...well vol 1-5 is definitely lighter... compared to vol 6-7 But well let's just hope for season 2.. and for it to be good just like the season 1 (lol it's just episode 9 and I'm talking bout season 2 already <,<) |

| Slightly better than ep8 because it has at least something happening like the kids escaping from the guild. They need to make the table conference and negotiation shorter . It so boring to waste too much time on these things. |

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Another very entertaining and impressive episode! :) |
| 4/5 I hope that the strategy and tactics give way to blood and tears, I have a craving for ... Viuuleeenza! Certified and relief, pls! Interesting plot, narrative pleasant, but I do not like graphically and animations are mediocre one. Pathos which grows in anticipation that there will be soon a certain evolution of the structure of the story as in the virtual world. * _ * I wonder if there will be some great campaign of conquest in the future! : D |
 |
| Wow, I am glad I did not dropped LH (was planning to at 1st since I find it boring initially). The story just gets better even with less action. Looking forward for more! |

| Watching how Shiroe's plan enfolds was awesome and cunnning His guild buying the guild bank made him the owner of Akihabara The MMORPG elements were really explained well Blacklist! |
| Kinda annoys me how slow this anime is.. Among my favs in this weak season but seriously there's nothing that actually happens within the episode. Just resolving a cliffhanger to end on a new one to keep you watching.. On Hold~ |

Does he feel cheated, or does he think he'll still be able to turn a profit with the current state of the food industry?) He cannot believe that something that simple was worth 5 million. I think he only smiled when he realised that the 5 million was for a greater purpose and the Round Table Alliance, only made possible by the power Shiroe had to expel guilds (so that people would take his laws seriously). 590292009 said: Takata said: I'm not sure how to interpret Michitaka's reaction to Shiroe asking him "Why do you think this isn't worth 5 million?".

Implications of the "food" discovery are first exploited by production guilds. - The 3 major production guilds and Shiroe also have another "surprise". 3. Personality wise he is a pretty good guy, may have found it funny how they got "used". edit: After watching it again would probably say that he was thinking of it as an individual investment ie. 1.5m so when Shiroe asked why he didn't think it was worth 5m he didn't quite understand at the time. However now he understands that the investment they made was not simply for the recipe but to create rule of law and unite Akiba. Having law and order will also help revitalise the economy and create purpose for everyone. Shiroe's an evil villain who's after the greater good of everyone. I think what's more worrying will be how others in other places will do the same (buying the key buildings) for their own selfish benefit and create problems in the game system. I think Shiroe realised that if he did not do it, others would have beaten him to it and then there will be no end to chaos at least in Akiba. |
| Shiroe just created a City-state! He created a legislative body to create laws and a means to enforce them. The other members of the Round Table should at least acknowledge that if he had so chosen, he could have simply become a dictator and imposed his own laws on everyone. Instead, he extended his hand and (literally) offered them a seat at the table. |
| "Today I purchased the guild building..." >Everyone shocked >I'm shocked >Shiroe - *evil glasses shine* Just as keikaku! |
| That freaking cliffhanger at the end -.- Good Episode. Finally saved the new players. |
