Well, I think Roe2 has an interesting sub-class.

I also found her style of mixing food ingredients to be amusing. It also looks like she has a quirk for being called onee-san. How silly. I think Serara's imaginations might be a bit farfetched though. I mean, a marriage with Nyanta? LOL

Rudy is also such a gentleman. Decent setup episode imo with a lot of humor in the first half.

She is happy to be called "Onee-san". lol~ Girls talk. It seems like the little guy falls in love with a lady (Saitou-san) with the weapon shop. And that lady seems to know the main guy. They saw a group that carries something.

It seems like there's argument from the meeting where main guy is.

Secret behind the songs?

While I have enjoyed the second season to date, this was the first episode in a while where you can see major plots developing.

Instant Cathedrals would probably be a lot less efficient in allowing an adventurer to resurrect, meaning that when they do they are losing more of their memories faster (or it is trapped in their "sub server" like device which is why it is so important to them). I have a feeling that these were originally invented to get around the Plant Hwyaden cathedral monopoly, but has had some less than pleasant side effects. This may also tie into the "wanting to return home" motif, they have changed their situation into a virtue, far from worrying about their gradual loss of memories, they view this as becoming closer to achieving their goals (to forget completely about the game perhaps).

And of course Tohya falling in love with Nureha (who I think knows very well about what is happening to the Odyssey Knights), poor Minori, has another competition for Shiroe AND now competition for her brother. How this plays out will be interesting, since Nureha knows that this team is from Shiroe.

Loved the strong hint about Roe2, that she was from the moon, meaning that Shiroe's theory about the game server was correct. Nice joke about Roe2, because of who she was she knew nothing about food outside of perhaps the game basics, so exposed to real food for the first time she obviously went crazy. Also, it was funny to see her "big brother's" general desire to protect and nurture come out in full force with wanting to be called "onee-chan".

Finally, class warfare coming to Akihabara, with Honesty forming the ranks of the socialists. Wonder how Shiroe is going to solve this one. In Japan/US/Europe there is the modern welfare state, however I do not think this would work in the Log Horizon world. As Shiroe said many episodes ago, life here is just too easy, what he has to deal with is not poverty, but resentment over skills and ideas. Humm, do I sniff a patent office around the corner?

Also am curious what role Minami is playing in this discontent. Invasion combined with Fifth Columnists? Shiroe obviously knows that something is up having Nyanta and Akatsuki scouting, and he probably wanted to move the kids out of the way to protect them, so looking forward to what is coming.

Plus, wasn't this mountain the mountain way way back in episode 5 or 6 or so when those people of the land climbed it and saw something was growing? At the time I thought that this related to the Goblins, but maybe there is something else waiting at Hakone.

Ah, the sulfur there is a true thing, its a tourist attraction. It is most famous for these scalding pits of water bubbling out of the ground where they boil eggs which turn the outsides black. Eating the eggs are supposed to grant you 100 years of life. Hakone is an interesting place, it is one of the few places where those large sky lifts are actually used as public transportation (together with a funnel car). With the volcanic soil, food is very good, and the views of mount Fuji are amazing.

Roe2 is an amusing character. Her excitement when being called "Onee-san" for the first time was priceless! XD

Girl talk puts everyone in a delighted mood except for Minori. She sure has a lot of competition going on.

Meanwhile, Shiroe is facing quite a tough issue at the round table regarding classes in Akihabara. Sounds like a dispute between socialists and capitalists. Crusty's absence is not helping.

Ah, Tohya seems to have a crush on Dariella (Nureha). Both brother and sister are similar in a way when it comes to romance. XD

While Instant Cathedrals are very useful, I think it's causing the Odyssey Knights a good deal of negative side effects too.

Good episode. Looks like Dariella is tagging along with the group next week. Of course, her mind was set the moment she heard Shiroe's name.

The sub-class thing is quite interesting, to not be able to be healed by spells and being unable to bask in the sun, I wonder what the benefits are then.

Darielle traveling with them, it was nice to see the temple and its side effects. The food looked delicious too.

I always had the feeling that Serara is a 40-50 year old virgin in the real world, what Jorge Amado called "the great frustrated". Cleaning, having cats, enjoying eating a little too much, she gives off that feel, so in Elder Tales she played a young girl trying to recapture her youth.

The interesting thing about LH as opposed to SAO is that in LH you look like your characters, not your real self. So Shiroe is a bit taller, Akatsuki was a man, and so on. So here are people developing all these relationships, but none of them know what the other person looks like (though some, like Minori and Tohya probably look nearly the same, though Tohya is a healthier version of himself).

This will lead to some interesting revelations if the two worlds ever do come into contact (particularly related to Nureha, there is no way she wants to return to what she was, which is what I think her "wish" that she wanted from Shiroe was about. This becomes more relevant now that Tohya is falling in love with Darielle, because Darielle was designed not too stand out too much (unlike Nureha), so to have someone like her for something outside of pure looks (which she despises anyway) could be interesting.

that lady was nureha, you saw at the beginning of this episode, right? and of course, Nureha meet Shiroe in the past episode.

Jesus Christ... I know the studio working on this season hasn't been top notch so far but did they start running out of money this episode or something?

I started noticing some serious facial distortion early on but at about 7 minutes in when they're eating not only is poor Serara's face distorted but the movement while she spoons her mayo... dear god.

Roe2's sub-class must suck if you can't even get heals. Should I say sasuga to Shiroe for getting his alt-chara to lvl90 with that sub-class or should I be asking why in the first place as Vampires seem to be crap. Serara is a classic as always with her fantasies, it's making me thik they're really gonna go the pedo route for Nyanta if this keeps up

Lol, Roe 2 wants to be called sis. Dat bathing scene. Wolfie too cute! (^_^)

I wonder how Dariella (Nureha), Odyssey Knights (Plant Hwyaden), Minori + friends, and Kanami + friends tie up.
Seems like Odyssey Knights will cause some trouble for Minori + friends and Dariella is there to either help or betray them.
And Kanami appears somewhere near the end of this.

That's not really a reveal, since that was shown in the last episode of season 1. Seeing Nureha, a lv90 kitsune-enchanter travelling with members of Shiroe's guild around lv45, looks quite... exciting? "Exciting" since they don't realise she's over 40 levels higher than them, and a potential enemy. On top of that, Touya appears somewhat infatuated with her. ^^

I'm finding it hard to follow the geography of Roe2's journey. I would assume a vampire is able to heal from alternative sources, which may be useful in a barren wasteland like the moon. Astronomically, it doesn't make sense though, since the real moon would experience more intense sunlight if anything, due to a lack of atmosphere. On the other hand, tidal locking with Earth results in lunar nights being two weeks long.

I'm surprised that Log Horizon is even going to try tackling authentically difficult, real-world political problems. o.o

The moon server isn't a server that duplicates a lunar setting, rather it is an actual server that is on the moon. We learned during the Shiroe death episode that this where the ET test server was located. It was from the moon that the novasphere update was sent to the Japan server (since the Japanese server was the first server east of the international date line). Roe2 transferred from the test server to the Japanese server in a way similar to how KR moved between the Japanese server and the Chinese server.

Why, the did cover economics in the first season and again in this season. LH's charm is that it does at least try to input human society into a RPG setting. It's actually a forte of the writer.

Honesty being a guild that is strangely dishonest with it's dealings. Oh we can't get any Sacred Text, lets just have everyone share so that even we can get them. I liked how they got rebuked by the rest of the RT, if you don't work for it, then you shouldn't be getting anything for it.

Nureha disguising herself as that Dariella and entrancing Touya is gonna be interesting to watch. Since she has that thing for Shiroe, Touya is sure to get his heart broken at some point. Maybe it'll create a rift among the kids and the adults in LH.

By the way, since Roe2 has been talking like Shiroe has been giving her orders (what with the switching places with her "Brother" talk), does anyone know if that's actually the case? How in the world did Shiroe manage to animate his secondary account like that, doesn't someone else have to be logged in to play?

A bit boring episode.This season is underwhelming compare to previous season.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

A real shame that the series is circling down the drain like this. Animation is getting crappier and I couldn't care less about the events. If the author thought people wanted more side-stories with these annoying kids, then they were seriously mistaken.

They were side characters from the beginning and they should've stayed that way. I think I'll just drop this series and read the LN translations instead - it's easier to skip past this trash and focus on the parts that deal with Shiroe and the main storyline.
