I am happy that Log Horizon is back. Such a very long time since I watched the previous season. Honestly, I forgot almost everything about the story. 😂

There is no DATABASE DATABASE anymore but I liked this OP as well. It looks like Eins will be the antagonist of this season. Princess is going to have an arranged marriage, I think she’ll accept her feelings for Krusty soon.

Never thought I'd stay alive long enough to actually watch S3 of Log Horizon.

Season is off to a great start. We saw typical Log Horizon style political development early in the episode. Raynesia is about to be forced into a marriage, Eins of Honesty's announcement has put cracks on the Round Table. What will happen to Akiba now? Can't wait to watch next episode.

It has been almost 6 years since the last ep aired (Back in march 2015). In all honesty i had all but given up hope we will would ever get more of this show, but here it is in its full glory. I am just happy we finally got more content to show as this is one of my personal fav anime of all time :).

The way i understood it is that this season is actually going to cover 3 arcs, the round table arc being just the start but it already feels a lot more like s1 plotline and this was one of the things that s2 felt lacking so im hoping it would be better.

Log Horizon is back with a new season, I'm crying man.

The round table is already demolished wtf. So a year has passed since the events of season 2, did anime skip content or there was a time skip in the LN/WN too? Can any readers confirm. Also the reason for it is Honesty huh.

Lol that smug look on Akatsuki's face was so cute and her blushing was cute too. Also woah people can go back to earth/reality? So is it just their concsiousness inside the game after all? I hope it's not and this is a alternate world.

Damn it first thing in this season is Raynesia into political marriage. Krusty sama come and save your girl.

IKR! And the thing that now Raynesia is being forced to marry into the Saiguu family, a family that is connected to Westelande, who is in turn hostile towards Eastal and Cowen family is just plain depressing. Krusty, please save our beloved princess. It's going to be so hard on her T_T

But what does it mean that Eins has been appointed as Akiba's Duke?

Does that mean whole Akiba is owned by the People of the Land?

But Adventurers did use the money to buy all those lands in Akiba?

How much authorities do the People of the Land owned over Adventurers?

Isn't that conflict with the logic?

Also I'm curious about those two identical foxgirls sharing cake during Leynesia and Akatsuki's conversation. The camera intentionally draws attention too them and they have full designs unlike the other backround characters, who I missed where even there before I rewatched that bit.

I guess bringing up Leynessia's arranged marriage at the same time is them forshadowing the disconnect between the adventurer's and the people of the lands cultures.

Finally Log Horizon is back after after a long while, and we suddenly got an ugly news that Raynesia got an arranged marriage, oh man, Krusty what are you doing, please come and save our Princess right there, she should be yours.

I liked the OP sequence, suits well with the unique and cool beats.

So glad Log Horizon is back. It was always one of the better Isseki stories. I also forgot how much I ship Shiro x Akuski.

Shame its only 13 eps, the author need to get a move on and get those LN out. Id love to see it animated until the end.

That still doesn't explain what authorities do the People of the Land have over Adventurer.

And if Eins decided to leave, then why not so be it? There are still other guilds in Round Table.

Also, what make Eins so special just because he has the Duke title given by the People of the Land?

I just can't see why just a Duke title can turn the table against Round Table, still doesn't make sense.

Let’s gooooo peak isekai is back after almost 6 years. So fucking hypeeee. My only disappointment is no database :(

I believe we’re only doing like 1 volume this season so it’ll be plenty of time to flesh things out. I think this first episode was a pretty good setup for the conflict to come and introduced some important concepts like Westlande and Plant Hwyaden.

Can’t wait for next ep

Log Horizon S3 is only one episode in, and it's already apparent it still lacks that genuine, vibrant soul from back in S1 when Satelight was still producing it.
Everything has now gotten more conceited and yet somehow dull in nature as well. The incoming events seems rigged merely to inflate this new inner conflict. I dunno what the real drive is anymore.

At least Akatsuki being present was something to really enjoy.

Well, it seems that season 3 of Log Horizon is going to at least somewhat take us back to the political intrigue that made season 1 as interesting as it was and that season 2 was thoroughly lacking. Certainly, it's a step in the right direction, but it's still nowhere near as interesting as season 1 was and is starting to feel more and more contrived (seriously, Krusty has been missing for more than a cour of events at this point, so how has this issue with the Round Table not come up before now?).

I also see that the show still doesn't know what to do with its female characters, so Akatsuki is back in the role of just talking to Lenessia while the princess (is Rayneshia just a new subbing interpretation of her name, or her actual name?) has been sidled with an arranged marriage.

I think I might put this on hold for now and just binge it at the end of the season, as I don't have the patience to watch this show weekly at its typical languid pace.

It's been years since I read the novel so which volume is this adapting again?


This episode was a breathe of fresh air since I've been waiting for this one for years even after reading and buying the novel.

I can more or less remember the major details like what happened last season with the Kunie bank but that's mostly it.

Really a shame we didn't get our beloved database but I hope Yun*chi can fill that gap for us (oh wait she's not here... =((( )

Really excited for this series

It's so refreshing to see Log Horizon return with the familiar characters, especially Akatsuki. Even though it's been over 5 years, she still retains the same personality as I remember.

Seems this episode serves as a more reintroduction of the cast, setting, and getting the main story flowing. I kinda miss Database though. That song was so iconic but the new OP song is fine too.

Bring on more Log Horizon!

I'm so happy it's back, this first episode was good, but I feel a bit underwhelmed(maybe because I was hyped for this so much?).

Summary of the episode:
*No Database, but it's still really good.
*So they can communicate with Krusty now.
*They are trying to get in contact with the moon.
*Honesty was trying to figure out the timing of Fairy Rings(Teleportation portals), but weren't able to do so.
*Reyneshia's mother gets introduced - Saraliya.
*There are trade routes established between the eastern kingdom and Akiba and Woodstock W has a dragon mount.
*Rayneshia is getting married to Sir Touri - Head of the Saiguu familiy, currently they have the highest status in Yamato.
*Some people disappeared like Shiroe's friend Oshima - maybe returned back to Earth? but how and are there any consequences?
*A lvl 50+ player who doesn't really wanna fight created the Maihama Trading Facility Managment Committee.
*Eins becomes a duke for Plant Hwyaden and The Rounde Table Alliance is gonna fall apart, and it may cause more problems, but I don't think Eins will be the villain of this season, at least not the BBEG.

Opening:
Might contain spoilers, so if you don't pay too much attention to the opening or skip it, you might want to avoid this


Ending:
Might contain spoilers, so if you don't pay too much attention to the ending or skip it, you might want to avoid this



My rating for this episode: 4/5

It's been 6 years Log Horizon! Welcome back!

Shows getting straight to what the title suggests, the Destruction of the Round Table. Krusty gone followed by Eins becoming Duke of Akiba, the round table is on the verge of collapse. Wonder how Shiroe will prevent the collapse.

Funny how the new opening is named "Different." as if the band is saying "No more Database for you were gonna give ya something different." xD

Ahhh it feels so good to see these characters again after all this time.

I admit i forgot almost everything about the second season so I probably should rewatch a few episodes or check the summaries at least...

But still, nice start, there are quite a few interesting points being brought up, I'm curious to see where things go
"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

From the visuals looks like we will be meeting plenty of new cast members as well. Given their lack of results despite the amount of money being provided to them its no surprise that normal adventurers will see them in negative light. Its nice to see Akatsuki is now much more talkative thanks to the time she spent with the girls. Rayneshia's mother sure has quite the accomplishment and record. The letters were a nice touch and showed just much Rayneshia's kindness had affected the hearts of those that she encountered as she took up her role within Akiba. The heart to heart between Rayneshia and Akatsuki was amusing. In a way i guess the greatest weakness of the round table was that it relied too much on having an effective leader while having no provisions for him being absent. Looks like Eins step was the first crack that if left unchecked will destroy the unity in Akiba. Overall an interesting ep that did well to both reintroduce us to the cast while also injecting plot advancement and tension via Ein's decision and Rayneshia's marriage. Its been a long time but welcome back Log Horizon.

How do you even appoint someone a duke on a land that you don't own and have almost zero authority over, cause locals are autonomous? Is it explained better in novel, cause as it was given in anime it is just idiotic.

Season three! My heart cried in joy while starting the episode!
Ngl, it was sad not saying Database as opening but I still liked the song so I'm not mad about it.
First episode was slow, just touching the surface of upcoming schemes and political drama. But ending of the episode promised some more emotions next week. Also, it was nice seeing all the familiar faces after all these years. All in all, not a bad first episode and will be waiting for more! :D

Honestly, a slow start but things are going to pick up after this.

Crusty is still not back from disappearing due to the scythe weapon. Eins parts way from Shiro and the round table and Princess has an arranged marriage. Cant wait for more.
