Puppet show? Oh, that doll assassin girl was making at the end of last ep.

That member who went missing was at China-like place and were tend well, except under the condition where he cannot regain HP, and losing most of memories. He still tries to get out using his brain, though.

Fighting fire dragon. Famous knight w. trauma...

That member got out and face that knight at the mountain. He also got the power there? But he is in danger.

Knight w. trauma also got controlled by the lady who made the member cannot leave there.

Part 1? The storytelling continues next.

So weird how it is shown as a puppet show... but well xD
The situation in it is clearly tense with the maledictions etc, and that mind control at the end seems even worse for the Elias vs Krusty

Finally we get to know Krusty's part of the story after he was teleported to a different server. The dude's a beast even with a lvl 150 curse on him. Kanami was amusing as usual.

A two part puppet show -_-

Nice to finally get a sense of what Krusty was up to all this time though.

It was also cool to see someone who's actually hit the level cap of 100.

Rainbow power ?
It seems like Krusty can get a power boost by sacrificing some of his memory.

Is good see some actions after so long.
I wouldn't mind live in a place with so many spiritual animals around. Would be not boring at all.
To be honest Elias is technically the worst choice for a fight against anyone in a 1v1. After all the guy cant kill anything by himself, from what I understood.
Can't wait for the part 2 after the week long bathroom break.

Finally, my most anticipated part of season 3 is here. Been waiting years to see Krusty’s arc animated. The fight with he and Elias was pretty dope for Log Horizon standards. Hate that Youren bitch for setting it up, though.

I also like the puppet format they decided to go with lol. The game perspective aspect was really cool. His oral ability is broken too.

A puppet show, eh? Unexpected way of story telling. I wonder if this thing exist in the source, tho. Prolly not. Smh, Deen....

Well, about time they reached out the story of Krusty at another server. Idk how its significancy to them. But, the way its delayed, almost one season long. Damn, its not so convincing at all. Good thing the story of those hectic server still interested me to continue. Prolly its because of Kanami's too voluptuous part of body as the sole motivation i have. Tho, an additional character like that martenfolk chibi highly motivated me again to get the basic knowledge of these episode. But, man, its just too ridiculous, i almost can't stand with that. Not long ago until they did a 4th wall breaker to me too. Omg. What the heck was that? Idk why but i suddenly cringe with that, ngl.

Okay, well, back to the story, Krusty looked fuck up there. But possibly he may got an incredible power-up after this one, and surely joined Kanami's group as already mentioned before. So, lets me see the continuations of their puppet show with all of my pleasure ....

"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Finally some more action and good to know what Krusty has been up to since his mysterious disappearence. Sounds like a horrific curse, but then again, the preview for the next episode says something else. I wonder, the way Krusty got more power, seemed like he sacrificed one of his own memories to get that power.

All I can say is, that was quite an interesting way of telling what Krusty been up to and there will be a part II as well...

So great to see Kanami as well, been waiting to see more of her ever since the first time she popped on screen.

Not liking that one woman one bit, the tanuki is cute though.

Using a puppet show combined with flashbacks to the previous season to explain what happened to Krusty sure was creative. On the other server Krusty's skill at creating dessert sure earned him plenty of fans. Though its unfortunate that Elias ended up being deceived and turned against Krusty though. But it proved an excellent opportunity to see how heros fare against top tiered adventurers though. Overall an interesting way to cover the majority of the events of volume 11. Looking forward to seeing how the series concludes it next ep.

Poor Crusty had to be nerfed by the curse otherwise he would outshine everyone there :)

We had like four episodes where it was just dialogue after dialogue with nothing happening and barely any story progression. No joke the first few episodes could have just been pictures with sound. No animation needed it was so slow and a lot of it was just useless info. Those eps could have just been a podcast I listen to while driving and I would have missed none of the "animation".

Then after all that we finally have something happen the vote and they dedicate 1 whole episode to it which ends in the vote not even mattering and the antagonist just leaving........wooooo glad we wasted 5 episodes on that, just to have literally nothing happen other than Princess joins the council.

Then we really spice up this season with a what, you guessed it.....A PUPPET SHOW! Are you kidding me, what's next episode 8 they all sit around a campfire and tell ghost stories!
Episode 12 is gonna be great when they do the shadow puppets tournament arc!

Just give us krusty's story normally so we can get more info in, and not waste more time on episodes with USELESS filler. Like cuts of them eating snacks and random audience reactions and bathroom breaks.

Just thought it was funny cause even Shiore, was like .....huh, you just can't tell me what Krusty said so we can get this done and further the story...hmmm ohhh that's a no, so I have to sit and watch a puppet show...ok your right, fuck my time.

Yep just keep beating this dead horse of a season! Season one was a thoroughbred running the Kentucky Derby, season 2 was it winning the race but with an injury at the end, the long wait between season 2&3 was them shooting the horse and this season was them sending the body to the glue factory.

You don't like it....come at me bro! Lol, just for fun tho.

Yess we finally get to see where Krusty is in a unique way through a puppet show. Cant wait for part 2 of the puppet show.

Krusty is in danger since hes been hindered with the effects of the curse that he got., Kanami's group will probably save Krusty knowing who he is.

And we just got Krusty confessing he's been purposely teasing the Princess cause it's fun, lol.

But yea... how the hell is there a level 150 curse? Cause I thought max level is 100... so that means someone somehow reached level 150?

At least Krusty isn't being "NTR'd" since he still have partial memories to know what's right and wrong.

Also, they had to do that curse so he doesn't one shot that Ancient dude, LOL. Since even with the nerf, Krusty's literally still on par with the dude.

And that Eyes Krusty used is literally us playing MMO games in 3rd person view, lol.

___ ___ ___

BTW... how was Krusty able to deliver this message, especially knowing the other events where he wasn't even participating in, this dude's WAY TOO OP.

But then again... if Krusty was able to deliver this message, it means he already conquered the other server, LUL

Don't even need a Part 2 to see the end. Tho I do like the puppets, they're so cute. Great work Akatsuki.

The presentation with the puppet show was a stupid idea. It took away the tension from the story which already kind of feels out of place due to the previous story arcs. In general, things are pretty aimless with this show lately.

These past few episodes have felt weird as well, like there seems to be more stuff happening but somehow I still feel like nothing has progressed.

It feels like this while season will have been a waste of time and I can't believe I'm saying it but..... If this is how a season 4 would be then I don't want it!

No problem yeah this season was a let down for me it just wasn't as interesting or entertaining as the first or second season they dragged on the politics too long and then we had the arranged marriage drama and then just when we thought we were getting krusty story we got puppets to present it which wasn't too bad but it was shorter than the politics and now at episode 9 we are somewhat getting something interesting well I hope

Oh god you are right they had a election and the other guy just dropped out like what was the point of it then anticlimactic much I wonder what they were thinking when they did this because it makes the whole election thing kinda pointless if the guy just drops out they should have made him lose rather than him dropping out reeeeeee

Are you kidding? After two very good seasons, I hate the adaptation of these animations that young children can watch and enjoy.You will ruin the series, right? Toilet breaks or other nonsense.. Especially no stupid bot hero? Even more frustrating, he can't even figure out who the self-deceiving geniuses are. Well, our idiot Krusty didn't get it either, but he realized that something wasn't right. Seriously, it is so annoying that they do it this way after waiting all these years.

On one hand, I'm glad that there's finally action but seriously a puppet show? Part 1? And yeah this reminds me this Elder Tale game basically recreated the entire fucking world and not just Japan. But come on now there's already too fucking much details and shit that you have to keep track of in Akiba, a small part of a city in Japan so why'd they have to branch off in fucking china? Seriously this show is like a massive open world game. The map is so big but pretty much empty. Too much information and details, too many characters but it's all bland and has no depth.

A puppet show to present all of the new story with Krusty was a pretty creative idea. Interesting to know that the geniuses showed up in the China server too, even though the Japan server is running the newer expansion pack that was not released to the rest of the world.

I laughed so hard when Krusty said his cloud was on a 3 day work week.
