Well, Shiroe has sure been busy in this arc recently. Shame, I want to see him in action more but at least he can provide some support without actually being on the frontlines.

The action this episode gave me classic RPG vibes especially against those three oversized green monsters.

Learning a game system (rate?) for the game since kouhai group reached level 50.

Teaching system and interview, interesting. There's also shopping / date.

Other members of the group fighting against titans all of the sudden.

It happened at the end... attack and people are missing (w. space twisted).

It's fighting time next.

Their date was cute, I felt bad for Akatsuki though. They’ll fight with the Genius in the next episode, I hope it’ll be good.

I feel Log Horizon has become really slow and dull. I miss the action and political drama it used to have. Hopefully at least the action will pick up next week.

That little shopping date between Minori and Shiroe was good, it's cute to see her happy because of it, but sorry Minori, Akatsuki is still the best for Shiroe in my opinion xD Well now it seems like serious events are beginning, every adult disappeared and Akbia is attacked by Ereinus, I can't wait to see the next episode if it's gonna be full action

Yay, finally a Minori focused episode. Always been best girl for me and it’s great to see how far she’s come since she first got introduced.

Loved she and Shiroe’s “date” and her learning about preparing for raids. I also enjoyed she and Akatsuki’s conversation at the end of the episode. While there was the literal aspect of preparing for a raid, it also felt like Akatsuki was encouraging her to continue her pursuit of Shiroe.

Looks like the kids will play a vital role in fighting Ereinus too, can’t wait for next week.

The political drama was like the first 6 eps, then it went to the Krusty fight stuff.. it’s only been like one week where we didn’t have either of those lol.

first we had people complain a lot of cause it got to much political drama, than we got the action in the last 2 ep on krusty partty and now after 1 ep, people wanna complain for the opposite? what do you want people? XD

Anyway this was a good transition ep before the real drama starts, and while it is shifting towards the kids again at least this time all the adults have supporting roles like in s1 did.

You know call me crazy but Rudy really seems to have majorily changed compared to his past self, this season in particular he has shown so much maturity. Akatsuki as well she has really grownout of her jealousy and does not even mind Minori is going on a date, which shows that a lot has happened since the start of the series.

Now the raid has started and the stakes are high again, you would think they would of not underestimated the genius as they have already shown they can maniuplate the world for their own use.

Can't wait for next week.

This episode made me wary that I may like Log Horizon less, if Akatsuki lose the love battle.
Basically a restock episode.
If by the clues given by the opening are something. What happened at the end was, the Ereinus raid is instanced, and teleported 24 people of the same lvl range, divided in light parties, like when you play a game and you traverse a main city ,and by the plot is being invaded. This just a theory with the little MMORPG knowledge I have.

A Minori focused episode is always welcomed. The date with Shiroe was nice to see. I wonder what Rudy meant when he told Isuzu to stop encouraging Minori.

From the preview, I guess we'll see the kids taking the spotlight in the fight against Ereinus. I can't wait to see it.

Rudy probably can guess that shiroe will probably never reciprocate her feelings, izuzu is pretty much setting up hope for minori but will end up with heartbreak and bring more trouble for her.

Minori's shopping date with Shiroe was fun. She got a taste of how carefull Shiroe is lol.

Log Horizon's junior members passed lvl 50 and they begun their raid training. Things were going well untill every adult dissapeared. Could it be that it's not adult but players above a certain level dissapeared. Cause this Genius' level is low so this is the only way he can take over Akiba.

Minori really looks like a puppy when she's with Shiroe. Still she really has come far with her skills as an adventure though thats undeniable. I guess popularity can also be a bad thing as well especially when one is trying to find and rescue their lord. Tetora really isn't making it easy for the teams training though. Looks like Shiroe's hunch was indeed correct. Though he didn't anticipate that the enemy will infiltrate rather than brazenly attack the town.

Minori making steps on getting closer to Shiroe, but I wonder if it will be worth it in the end. Completly understand why Rudy is trying to stop Isuzu for giving Minori too much optimism. Akatsuki is still there as well and the fact that she doesn't mind Minori going on a "shopping-date" says it all. She's confident of her stuff.

So the Genius did make his move, seemingly made the adults disappear, but preview showed otherwise. I wonder what is up with that. So a raid is happening, let's go!

Ah, the kids time again, or i shall say them, a young adults. Since Akatsuki appear too in the preview (or is that affected by her choice to reduced the level, night before the event? I dunno.). Well, that was the purpose of these episode, a built-up time before they reached out another raid battle against the genius. I see that Tetora enjoyed his little revenge against the useless sisters. But why to the kids too? Lol.

The little walk time which Shiroe and Minori got, surely just full of a nice moments. Its got a good information, full of teaching, and should be very helpful for her, as the next raid strategist for the incoming event. Shiroe probably already felt the impending danger, but might still unable to knew the effect afterall. Interesting to see the separate way of them to defeating that sudden attack from the genius whose directly hit through the peace of Akiba.

Meanwhile, the preparation of Krusty's rescue team had a little screen time, there, to explained how could they prepared toward the ignorance information of the other servers out there. The vacation answered several doubt amongs them. Then Krusty depiction undoubtly happened too there. But, wonder if the attack of the genius also affected to their plan. Lets see....

At this point, I'm surprised this season doesn't have Slice of Life genre with all that date and daily activities.

also this series suddenly turns horror at the end of episode there.

It's good to looking for people comments about the show but for me personally i like to judge the series by actually watching it...

Also people hating on the series is inevitable, can't pleased everyone right?
You can always find someone hating for example one of the Top 10 Anime on MAL, it doesn't mean the show is bad or anything.... It just not their cup of tea...

Given how Minori is still daydreaming about Shiroe in the end, I dunno, I think the potential for conflict is still there (but hopefully it isn't a big deal). It also seemed like the "date" aspect went over Akatsuki's head and she truly thought Minori just wanted to get taught by Shiroe.

With last episode's scene, Shiroe and Akatsuki still seems to make the most sense as a pairing, as it showed how naturally they act towards each other.

The way I saw that scene, Akatsuki doesn't really see Minori as a threat since she sees it as Shiroe just teaching her, focusing on how hardworking Minori is and hoping she gets better at raids. It didn't seem to touch the romance aspect at all. I think she would still be at least a little upset if she found out Minori was pursuing him.

It was nice seeing Midori and Shiroe together teaching her about raids. For once Shiroe is not stuck in his office xD

Looks like trouble is coming to Akiba with the attack of the Genius Ereinus.

I like how they keep the upbeat music even after Akiba was reveled to get attacked xD

Agreed. Akatsuki and Shiroe really fit well. But Shiroe is... too dense. I hope we get a character development for him soon.

its not impossible, rare but not impossible but i think by new she should be 15 or 16

and person doesn't half to be a pedo for it though some ppl just see all as woman starting from 14 some starting from 16 and some paste on how they look if they look psychically mature they may fall for them, psychology and humans are complex things, and some couple started like this and were together for life

that's why i only care about love not age when it comes to ppl, i mean u love who u want, as long as ur not actually harming/hurting any1 i don't care just look out that u don't brake the law it would be bad for u

but if ur always targeting below 18 well that's a different mater that means ur predator, a sick person

Nice to see Shiroe outside of his office for once. This whole episode was a build up to a raid for sure. This is where things get interesting.

Rudy in this case is right though, Minori is still a kid and really shouldn't be trying to date Shiroe.

The adventurers' levels being reduced, this could make things interesting next time.
