Log Horizon - Episode 7 Discussion / Poll

[hamazura]

any thought of selling poisonus food to evil guild? ah, but death doesnt mean anything...

[Johaocarl]

I think it will be a lot hard now say Log Horizon is a SAO copy...

On sidenote....

Shoryuu's VA = Osaka Ryota = Mao Sadao (Hataraku! Maou-sama)

I wonder if there'll be any crossover art on this =3

If no one does it, I will. Once I get over Soujirou long enough to do so, that is.

[darksassin]

We finally get to see Akatsuki in a maid/waitress costume! So moe~<3

Anyway, somehow I get a very shounen ai-ish vibe from Soujirou toward Shiroe, when he was sad because he thought Shiroe didnt like him. Maybe he might wanted to add Shiroe to his "harem" when he invited Shiroe to WWB

[ookamigirl]

Things sure took an interesting turn.
I thought they're gonna fight and go on adventures all the time.
Instead, they take a break and do guild related stuff.
Guess this is where is differs from SAO.
Since it was all food related it kinda reminded me of Toriko.
They sure thought of a great business.
Shiro is always full of all sorts of plans.
Wonder what his true goal with all this is..

I think the repeated references to the fact that land and structures can now be bought, instead of simply being "background" to the game, are so obvious hints to what Shiroe is planning.

[Utsuro no Hako]

Shiroe mentioned that everything in town is for sale, but does that include the Guild Hall? Could he buy the building and evict everyone he doesn't like?

There's a far worse place he could buy. Think, other than the guild hall which has the banking facilities, which other place is essential to adventurers? Hint: It's literally a matter of life and death.

[Boduar]

More likely he would just have to buy all the area around their guild halls and deny them access across his land. Then he can either evict them, charge them a fee, or do pretty much whatever he feels like. Not sure what the impact of not being able to go into the city to rest would be but I am guessing there is a downside to having to camp out in the wilds forever.

Personally, I'm still waiting for someone to do a seiyuu crossover picture involving Akatsuki (with me leaning more towards Kagami and Fluttershy).

[MartianMage]

Very enjoyable episode. Doesn't matter if it was predictable that they were gonna use food to achieve their goals it was still fun to watch the tears of everyone finally getting a taste of real food (goodbye salted mush).

The guy in souji's guild really reminds me of Muscle from Zettai Karen Children @_@

[Xellos-_^]

characters who wear glasses are really scary people.

I guessed right away that he was planning to buy the cathedral. Although I'm not sure if that would accomplish his plan.

If a lunch costs 5 G, 5 millions isn't nearly enough for that.

[Boduar]

He does not have to buy the entire city TBH. All he would probably have to do TBH is buy a thin strip of land that surrounds either A. the entire city or B. whatever his targets are. After thinking about it if he does it at night he can literally trap entire guilds inside their guild house and refuse them access to leave until whatever demands he makes are met.

[FRS]

A nice episode which give us hints on Shiroe's plan.
I really liked the Brotherhood of evil glass wearing persons ^^

[SinsI]

"Need five million gold". "Every building is up for sale".

Is he going to buy the building of that guild and change the rules?

That would only work if the system gives land owners special powers to, say, teleport people off their property. Otherwise if a guild decides not to respect Shiroe's ownership, there's nothing he could do about it except call his friends together and have a battle.

But if he could buy the Guild Hall and evict people then presumably he could cut off their access to rooms like what we saw with Akatsuki this week.

If land ownership works that way, it would indeed be genius. For anyone who knows Roman mythology, "The Dido Strategy" .
