Holy shit, the princess and Akatsuki looks adorable in their Christmas outfits. Just look @ Akatsuki's reindeer horns...

Kinda interesting to see Rieze make her appearance this episode. LOOK AT THAT HAIR. The action was alright I guess considering it was brief. A bit of a slow episode though but I liked the overall atmosphere. I think I spotted Santa for a moment

Oh that's not Santa at the end there.

"Zettai Ryoueki" with Santa Clause outfit (the maid requested the outfit?) on the princess and reindeer outfit on the assassin girl. The princess is being thankful to her guarding her everyday. The sword has sold out, and she cannot take the lessons (request by the main guy?) from Shimono-san's character's guild.

The princess is not having fun? And that another megane guy is bored? So that megane assistant lady is in love with main guy? So she's jealous of assistant girl for being bright. And princess girl is jealous of the group, and try to understand them.

That guy...

Damn, we're gonna get some really nice badass Souji-scene in the next episode, judging by the preview. I hope it'll be atleast as good as in Nishikaze no Ryodan.
“Listen, little girl. When I refer to a young woman, I mean someone who manages a student dorm and has the tolerance to give anyone advice if they want it. And there is one thing you lack as far as that’s concerned. Do you know what that is, little girl?”

There was no way she could, so she gave him a confused look and he gave the answer.

“These common breasts of yours disqualify you from providing the support of a young woman. Give up and try again later.”

What the heck :|

So she seriously tried to fight with 3 fishes in her hand and no armor? Also what the heck. She bleed and she didn't turned to particles? What the heck is going on.

Aside from the last 2 mins it was kinda boring episode for me. Nothing much happened besides Akatsuki going full emo. Why doesn't she talk with others to ask for help or at least ask to train with them. Obviously because she is shy and/or lacks confidence. Still I think it's silly at the very least. Kinda slow pace though I want to see what's gonna happen with the raid and all :V

Can't really say I'm enjoying the melodrama around Akatsuki so I'm glad action will pick up next episode. Was the girl at the end poisoned or something? Didn't seem like she was one-strike killed.

it actually is, we are told the person that bought it paid in cash (not transfer) so that's making the buyer suspicious aswell as we see that guy come out of the shop before akatsuki enters it in episode 2.

First pic is from episode 2 in the shop, the other from ep 4 when he draws.

Those costumes ^^ I wanted Akatsuki in a hooded one though!

Akatsuki being jealous of the other girls and blaming herself for being weak :/ There was lots of love for Shiroe though!
"Even if i'm just in the background" :O She is really missing having Shiroe around!

Lenessia in a Santa outfit looks great! 15 cm above the knee for justice indeed! :3

Ah, come on Akatsuki.. Stop beating yourself up. There's no point in being jealous of a middle schooler. I doubt Shiroe would prefer Minori over Akatsuki anyways.

Marie was cute, buying that present for Naotsugu. :3 . Poor Henrietta though.. I think she has the best chance of all 3 girls that have feelings for Shiroe.

At first, I thought Lenessia was being congenial for the sake of formality, but she really is humble and admires the adventurer so much, she doesn't consider herself their friends.

Vicious Santa Claus makes his first move. There goes Kyouko, trying to show off and getting stabbed in return. *Sigh..

Decent episode. Badass Soujirou incoming next week. You can't just hurt his harem and get away with it. XD

I agree. Such half-assed visuals.
Didn't like this episode. No Shiroe and his intellect. Akatsuki looked depressing because of her very low self-esteem which made it hard for me to watch. No story progress. Worst episode of the season so far.

Agreed, this episode was especially low-quality... LH deserves a better studio! :(

Aside from the poor visuals and animations, not much going on in this episode in general, but I expected a few episodes like this from the start so it wasn't that surprising

It's not jealousy, it's regret.

Remember that Akatsuki always played the "lone wolf assassin" (for some decent personal reasons), as such she never joined a guild or participated in a raid. She is regretting that decision now.

This has been building up since at least episode 3 of the first year, when she realized that Shiroe, Naotsugu, and Nyanta had all been in the same party. She has certainly noticed how easily the three of them get together, while she has always been awkward around people and this has really bothered her.

Last year it was the Griffons that served to remind her what she had lost out in not playing the game to the fullest, this season t the whole "buying a sword" scenario symbolizes this. Since she played alone she never joined a party, since she never joined a party she never went on a raid, since she never went on a raid, she didn't have the experience (both professionally and personally) that everyone else had.

Shiroe, of course being Shiroe, knows this, which is why he assigned Akatsuki to guard Leinessa - he is hoping to break her out of her shell by having her around other people. But not really understanding WHY Akatsuki is so awkward (no real fault of his), this was actually the worse thing for him to do to her.

I'm going to be curious to see people's reactions when they discover why Akatsuki is the way she is, it isn't anything huge, so I imagine that a lot of people are going to belittle her for it, but its the small things that make the deepest cuts, and if one has empathy, one should be able to really sympathize with her.

True, but not the jealousy that people are thinking (romantic). She is jealous that people can get along and understand one another (of course particularly as it relates to Shiroe, but it is also more in general) while she seems to be incapable of doing so, this is why it extends beyond Minori, and includes Nyanta and even Naotsugu.

When Akatsuki saw Minori and Shiroe together what made her jealous wasn't Minori as a threat, but rather that Minori was able to understand Shiroe's thinking far more than Akatsuki did (she even had a monologue about it) . She had a similar monologue back when they fought Demiquas and the other three were so in sync, and she knew that she couldn't do that. This bond is what makes her jealous, but even then it ties back to the general regret that she has about her life and how she played the game (which in turn goes back to what she said in the first episode).

Great ep. Liked all of Akatsuki's dilemma's. The character was too dull in the first season, but now seems a bit more reasonable. Im expecting a bit more backstory, that can wait though.

Damn, that blood. This episode had a diff tone from rest of the series, especially the last part. It looked too putrid to be part of Log Horizon till now..hoping they'd keep this feel throughout and consistently without arbitrarily shifting between light-hearted/heavy.

No RPG exposition this ep :( :(

I swear to god, the ending song just comes out of nowhere and messed up the mood of the last few mins of the episode.
Akatsuki is my favorite character, but seeing her go full emo makes me wonder, why is there so much melodrama.
Kind of an interesting episode. Its ok Akatsuki, the struggle is real

This show is about Shiroe. Others are just supporting stuff. Including other guilds . Many of them are boring and plain. And this episode is focused too much on Akatsuki which I also find boring and uninteresting.
The key here is about how Shiroe can finally find a way to get out of this game. Other stuff is irrelevant. The only thing I hope to see is Tea Party's stupid guild master (ex) appearing and maybe someone is gonna kill her. That bitch who never gave anything but trouble to Shiroe and others and left them in the end. I am agree with Indicus and her desire to get rid off that bitch.
