Oh nice, a little more glimpse of Shiroe's past. I always wanted to see more of that..
Rudy is backkkk, thanks to Shiroe and that channeling magic. This pretty much concludes volume 4 of the LN with the contract. Rudy as a member of LH for part of the contract? I like that. Rudy signing that contract confirms he will be a member of LH now.
Decent episode. Kristy's team has some pretty good fighting skills. At this rate, I think the anime will conclude the 5th volume with the pacing. I'm curious to see how this goes!
If I'm hearing correctly, mind (or will to live) = HP and soul is MP? He was able to get him recover. Making contract to have any purpose to maintain HP.
Project of sub-job? And the contract itself is a magic to reborn into a different person.
Wow @ that wild/crazy expression. lol @ that last part when Kakkii's character revived. The pair will become interesting with being the same status (actually very interesting right here).
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!

Elder Tale new Admin is Shiroe!! xD
Looks like it's pricey, though XD.
Maybe he used a rare item to revive Rudy and his new spell must be written with a super rare ink and paper, supported by his subclass' level.
Now I can imagine that Shiroe will makes Rudy to work very hard to "pay" for this magic XD .
my comment for this episode : Crusty... just Crusty...
Damn this world seems to be a great place to live in once you have everybody close to you. So many things are still yet unresolved.
-
I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart!
Man i they were killing me with the suspense i kept shouting sign the contract, sign the contract, oh boy lol loved every moment of it.
Izuzu Quate: Give me your paw lol i laughed so hard she still thinks of him as a dog hahaha
Ok it's official Crusty is seriously one scary guy i do not want to be guy suckered to fight him no sir.
Looks like Akatskuki will have a bit of spotlight next episode a good thing they having been focusing so much on the younger members of log horizon, i just want them now to focus more on the experienced players Naotsugui, Nyanta, Shiroe and Akatsuki they have really been sidetracked in these last 10 episode
Great episode. Shiroe just ignored the rules of the game world and changed a NPC/people of the land into a player/adventurer.
Now the question is: How long will it take till someone spills the secret of Rudy being changed into an adventurer, everybody gets afraid of Shiroe and someone starts plotting against him ? :D
Crusty's murderous smile...I think I blushed lmao!
*Shiroe presents the contract*
"1. Effective as of the date and time at which Rundel Hau---oh 3 minutes have passed."
*Rudy dies*
It was such an awesome moment and all but I can't help but think "JUST MAKE HIM SIGN IT! YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!" lmao! That whole monologue was meant to inspire but it totally ruined the mood.
The Rudy x Isuzu ship has sailed. "Potte!" lolool
"But Akatsuki is gloomy amidst the cheer." LOL We all know you just want to dance with Shiroe and it looks like you'll get the chance next week haha!
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."
Great episode. Love how everything is given to us at a good pace.
I've been wondering, but what if it turns out that akatsukuki is that one girl that was leader of the old guild Shiroe was in? That'd be pretty neat
Awesome episode, great to see that Rudy didn't die for real. Next episode the fight will be over, I think (from the preview), but that's ok since I enjoy this anime when they only talk too.
"I can have food or drinks spilled on me, or even be spit at and ill laugh about it ,
However , If for any reason you hurt a friend of mine, I won't forgive you!"
Shiroe's idea was awesome. Didn't expect he'll use his Scribe sub-class like that. Seems these sub-classes have a much more important role than I first thought.
Rudy becoming an adventurer now was really nice :D Loved the part with him and Isuzu at the end. They're a cute couple ^^...Loved the "Then give me ur paw" XD
Really cute :3
This ep reminded me of how much I want to see more about Tea Party and esp Kanami. But I guess it won't be happening this season :(
Lenessia was cute blushing after seeing half naked Krusty <3
But damn! Krusty's evil grins are so BA and evil!! The dude is BOSS ^^
Loved the OST when he was kicking ass.
Nxt ep...Akatsuki will have a dance with Shiroe? I can't wait :D
Rudy looks quite elegant there ^^
Rudy returns to life as an adventurer. I'm interested what abilities and skills he will have. The Princess looked curious when she saw the wicked Crusty enjoy destroying the Goblins. I wonder who's creepier Crusty or this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6N8FQp15I4
Rudy and Miss Isuzu at the cathedral was so beautiful. I was expecting maybe like a hug, but I think those two make a nice couple.
Great episode. Krusty is one wicked 'calm' badass.
Magito said: Isuzu now has a new pet in the name of Rudy. lol
^THIS.
Nisx said: ok we got it u found a way to cooking on the game
u dont have to mention it on each episode :X
No shit, but he is relating the thing that he's going to do with the cooking 'magic'. If he suddenly uses the 'manual scribing magic' without an explanation. It would be even more bullshit, he is not the God/GM, relating it to the cooking was a good thing to do.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"
And somewhere in the world, beyond the Log Horizon, there is Chuck Norris... getting flamed for pulling one Crusty joke after another.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl
Okay 2 cour series, Why are all of you so freaking awesome! First Samumenco, then an exceptional kill la kill, an awesome golden time and finally A really really great episode of log horizon.
Its time for more shiroe and his assassin next time!

Tea party leader's and Akatsuki's personality are very different :3. They're not same person. There's a side story about the tea party leader (Kanami) after the apocalypse, and it'll take a long time for her to meet Shiroe again. I'd really hope to see more of her in Shiroe's flashbacks, though.. but the poor Akatsuki won't stand a chance if Shiroe keeps thinking about her XD
At least we'll have more spotlight Akatsuki in the next episode. the title sounds good :D
That princess better not drop the soap when around him lol
Even though he was starting to be a lil' likeable at the end, Rudy being rez'd is still a waste of good magic, should kill princess off and rez her instead
Loved the episode. Shiroe finding a way of reviving Rudy was great and the scene with Miss Isuzu and him at the end was cute and funny (her "now give me your paw" and his face XD)
Krusty is really badass. And kind of creepy. I really wouldn't cross him.
“Shiroe, leader of the guild Log Horizon, establishes the following contract with Rundel Haus Code.
1. Effective as of the date and time which Rundel Haus Code signs this document, Shiroe accepts him as a member of the guild Log Horizon.
2. As a member of the guild Log Horizon, Rundel Haus Code will fulfill his missions in a manner befitting his position.
3. Log Horizon will provide Rundel Haus Code all necessary support required for his missions, to the greatest extent acceptable to both parties. This includes bestowing the status of “adventurer.”
4. This contract is signed in the spirit of mutual respect and agreement between both sides. Anything either party acquires, for the contract’s duration, remains theirs, even in the event that the contract is nullified. Two copies of this contract will be signed by both parties, and each party will retain a copy.”
Holy shit, what a story breaker ability that Scribe class.
He can make new class with new spell which BEND THE WORLD LAW.
It means that Shiroe can make new spell that not restricted to enchanter class. He can make Summoner spells, Bard spells, Sorcerer spells, or even World Fraction itself. He already bend world law, right? Essentially he already in Game Master class. Not to mention Shiroe love to use class that hard to use / rare to use. I suspect there's not much scribe class in Elder Tale, and at high level like Shiroe as well.
Knowing this is Shiroe, I believe he will keep it secret about Scribe class and refrain to use "extra" spell to not give hint about his sub-class' versatility (including giving People of the Land sub-class Adventurer).
Dat atmosphere and great voice-acting... I love how Shiroe thinks. Loved Rundelhaus's character development and Isuzu x Rudy hint... even if he is dog-zoned... for real... Give me the romance...
Awesome episode 9/10 , crusty is so badass....and a little bit psycho i think ....
Damm...it just me or kanami is really so hot and sexsy
. Rudy officialy dog-zoned... Now isuzu can rub his tummy , and rudy as her "dog" can...hmmm u know give her.... *if u know what i mean*
This ep reminded me of how much I want to see more about Tea Party and esp Kanami. But I guess it won't be happening this season
Relax , u will see her again....maybe in ep 22-23
. If shiroe can turn people of the land to adventurer by signing a contract , maybe...he also can send back an adventurer to the real world using the same method ( but where he can find 30.000 high quality paper and ink )
Now the question is: How long will it take till someone spills the secret of Rudy being changed into an adventurer, everybody gets afraid of Shiroe and someone starts plotting against him ? :D
They thought he was an adventurer to begin with, so I don't see how that will ever become an issue
Ah so Rudy now has a subclass of Adventurer, so I'm guessing he's still a person of the land, but with the perks adventurers have? (i.e. reviving, guild and friend list etc.)
It's amazing how much detail they put into every occurrences. I thought at first that Rudy's revival would be some sort of magic that Shiroe acquired out of nowhere but the author managed to give us a legitimate explanation on both Rudy's revival and Shiroe's new ability..
Compare that to when Kirito magically revived after his HP reached 0 *smh*
On another note, Marielle's scream was so cute.. Now that Isuzu x Rudy's ship has sailed, it's time for Marielle x Naotsugu's ship to follow!
PS: Could Akatsuki be foreseeing the emergence of a future love rival? lol
I wonder if Rudy will ever get out of the "dog" house with Isuzu. This is why I love Log Horizon, they always do such a great job reusing things you learn about in previous episodes. In other news Krusty is an awesome "Berserker".
Aww, they changed the combat scene from the LN. The changes were still great to watch and did not disappoint, may actually say it's even better. The anime scene made it more focus on how baddass krusty is, whereas the LN show how OP the adventurer were compare to the PoL.
Here's the LN version:
The battle continued in the dark.
In the heart of the Sand Leaf central hills.
The venue was a valley like the previous battle, the only difference was the size of the place and the scale of the battle. When she asked Takayama Misa why they chose to fight in valleys, the answer was: "A large group needs a lot of space to gather, we can organize ourselves in the forest or the hills, but it will be hard to accommodate everyone there."
Raynesia thought about it and agreed.
Goblins might be demihumans, but their intelligence was low. But since they were moving in an army, they would follow certain rules.
Since they were fighting in the valley, there were several ridges where they could see the whole valley.
Takayama Misa's observation team was based on one of these ridges but it was different from last time. They only set up the minimum observation tables. It may be that they might need to move on short notice, or because Raynesia declined the chair, but from the looks of relief from Takayama Misa, Raynesia predicted the previous time was a special arrangement just for her. [1]
But these were trivial matters.
Raynesia, Takayama Misa, and the others were already concentrating on the battle in the valley.
Takayama Misa explained that the team leading the dire wolves were goblin tamers. The barbaric goblins didn't have a complicated society like humans, but they had primitive division of labor and classes.
Most goblins were lightly armored warriors or spearmen, but some of the goblins had special classes, the most common one being goblin tamer and goblin shaman. The goblin tamers bred beasts like Owlbears, Hippogriffs, and dire wolves.
They could see the enemy formation had hundreds of dire wolves, as if the dark ground had gained sentience and squirmed, a scene from nightmares.
"Seems like a mutant breed."
Takayama Misa explained calmly:
"We fought them in a raid before, it is a wolf with poisonous fangs raised in the miasma of the undead. To have raised so many means the goblin king has a tribe of goblin tamers... Elder Tales has such an intriguing detailed secret setting."
"Would... Would they be alright..."
"Worrying is an absurd action."
Takayama Misa maintained her cold attitude and words, but Raynesia was not so optimistic. There were a few hundred enemies spread out across the valley, the goblin general must be in the center, probably in the exotic tent with wheels that was essentially a mobile fortress.
Raynesia was not worried about that monster knight, but his subordinates were knights as well. Even though they wouldn't die, it would still be painful if they got hurt, which pained her too.
But the two sides engaged suddenly without regard to Raynesia's worries.
"Square shape... so pretty."
"This is the square formation."
Takayama Misa walked to Raynesia's side probably to chat.
She pointed to Krusty's army that was aligned on 4 sides in the shape of a square and continued.
"This is a common formation used in raids, the groups are usually formed in multiples of 4, the same number of sides as the box. So in terms of command, squares are the easiest formation to adopt. It is basically a defensive formation, with the tanks and melee fighters in the front supported by the ranged and magic attacks as the main source of damage dealers. But since this is a tight-knit formation, it will be bad against enemies with powerful wide-area attacks. But against groups of wild beasts, it can be an iron-clad defensive wall."
"So that is how..."
Raynesia guessed right.
The strong vanguards deflected the attacks of the wolves easily, with arrows and magic flying out from behind them. The balm ensured Raynesia had a clear vision in the dark, but great columns of fire all over the valley made it so bright that she could see without any assistance.
"They are moving."
Takayama Misa pointed straight at the battlefield.
The whole formation seemed to move with her finger. It turned into the shape of a trapezoid and advanced, taking out the enemies in its way.
Takayama Misa said this was a defensive formation, but this seemed to be an unreliable evaluation.
This was the first time Raynesia viewed a large-scale battle, she had never seen the defensive battles of the castle knights, so she had nothing to use as a reference, but what she saw could not be described as defensive.
She saw it as a square hole.
Krusty's army seemed to be digging a dark hole into the goblin army. Both the goblins and wolves would be dealt with when they touched the hole. The way the formation handled the enemy was akin to a neat freak, giving off a sense of madness.
"Look closely."
At this moment, a bonfire seemed to be lit in the center of the formation and 4 flaming birds flew out from it and spread orange and crimson flames in all 4 directions, obviously a summoned beast. But Raynesia had never heard of summoned beings like this. From what she knew, summoned beings ranged from the size of a fist to that of a puppy, she had never seen such powerful and dignified creatures.
"That is the Phoenix you can form a contract with at level 86, a high-level spirit with fire affinity. The summoners need to complete a very difficult quest before they are qualified to form a contract with such graceful and holy beast... what is wrong?"
(She asked me what is wrong?)
(That creature has flame on it?)
(Adventurers can... can summon such creatures, there should be a limit to such foul play correct?)
Raynesia finally understood.
Krusty was not putting on a brave face, this was how he acted naturally.
No wonder Takayama Misa said worrying was absurd.
No one could predict what would happen on the battlefield. But there were people in this world who were fine in this unpredictable battlefield and used their extraordinary experience no common man could hope to match to rule the arena.
The army this man was leading were also Adventurers who had accumulated overwhelming experience and training. Raynesia recognized from the bottom of her heart that the common sense of knights could not be applied on them.
Adventurers were an existence beyond Raynesia's comprehension.
The goblin general's giant mobile fortress exploded with a bang. The heavily-armored guards and gigantic ferocious goblins flew out from the shattered fortress. Krusty's forces continued to advance.
Raynesia heard an impossible voice.
... Well then, let's enjoy this sumptuous meal.
The calm words with a hint of joy definitely came from Krusty.
Raynesia did not have telepathic abilities, she couldn't have heard Krusty from so far away, but she did hear his voice.
Krusty swung his two-handed axe and pointed it at the enemy, his forces charged forward as if elongated black spears came out of the square formation. A group of warriors dual-wielding blades shredded through the goblins like thin clothes.
"We have finished the main course... Let's leave the rest to the nets spread out by our headquarters' tactician."
Takayama Misa closed her report file with a soft sound, her voice so calm she seemed to be saying something obvious.
So Rundelhaus has his dream become reality as a result of his death, and is now basically in the same state as an adventurer who has died so many times that they've lost all memories of the... other world. Except that he has his memories still of his past in that world. Or does he? Was he affected by the memory loss in the same way that an adventurer would be? Would be interesting to find that out some time, but it's nothing particularly urgent.
And the battle is over, and won. The princess watched on with a mixture of wonder and repulsion as Krusty finished off the general. I guess the reinforcements were effective on the beach.
I wonder how many people died during the fight.
More flashback of that girl from Shiroe's party. I wonder if when she'll appear...
Hmm... what else will this newfound ability generate? Like a lot of super-powerful inventions, there are all sorts of negative possibilities that could come about...
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.
Love Love Love everywhere... Isuzu x Rudy, Marie x Naotsugu, Hime-chan x Krusty
another great episode, I would love to see Kanami.... I will definitely choose her as my favorite character (or I already choose her. lol)...Right now, I didn't have fav character here, everyone so stand out that make me love this show so much....
