Hmm...

Spoiler:

West Wind Brigade featured in this episode? Interesting. It looks like this one carries over to the next episode as well. Oh how I miss Seta-kun...

[aohige]

Well that was cool.
This Genius Camaysar was only mentioned in the novel by Soujirou who reported his encounter to Shiroe, but in the anime we get to see how it went down!

This episode starts out novel 10 material.
Events are shuffled around though. Didn't think we would see Icelus this early either.

[Gatmar]

Mamare already has everything planned ahead in advance considering he said it will be up to vol 15..and it will end there .... so i am not surprised they are adding the stuff of vol 10 right around this time...

looks like the last few episodes will be quite a suprise as we really dont know much what is going to happen since vol 10 is being published weekly on the web.....Oh i cant wait to see what else is in store

[FlareKnight]

Not a bad episode. Basically aftermath after a pretty serious series of events.

But sadly things aren't looking to get much better here. A potential massive war brewing. The consequences of which could be pretty serious. Along with the fact that people are starting to get sick and tired of being stuck in that world and are starting to vent in various ways.

[Nicaea]

I still felt somewhat disconnected to the kids' feelings, so I was kind of wishing for more focus on Akiba's situation.

Hmm, 15 volumes huh? I'm hoping that NHK won't just announce another season of Log Horizon after Season 2! Let the novels finish first before going to Season 3.

Meanwhile, it's sad that Minori's party will have to part ways to Roe 2 onee-sama! Also, can't wait to see what's inside of Roe 2's letter. It could be something that'll identify and beat those genius monsters!

[Wandering Soul]

Nice to see the aftermath of everything that has happened. Looks like things are only getting worse. A war is now brewing and there seems to now be a third group that Roe 2 is trying to warn Shiroe of.

[ChampDream]

It look like the conclusion of the kids adventure was ok.
I laughed with the Genius proposing to Soujirou, really funny.

[AntonKutovoi]

Rudy probably became my favorite LH character after this arc.

[Random14]

Yeah, it was nice to see Rudy being sensitive and trying to shield the others' feelings since he understands how the Lander population would react after a situation like this.

Somber episode, but nice to see the kids make it back to Akiba after growing some, as well as seeing how far they have yet to go. They probably saved Lander lives, but its still sad seeing the town wrecked like that.

And looks like the party atmosphere in Akiba is wearing off. Nice to see Naotsugu be observant enough to notice it, even if Akatsuki still kicks him. Along with stranger things showing up. Too bad Shiroe has to deal with mysteries and politics and social problems now.

[Flower]

For me there were bits and pieces of the ep that felt too jolted and awkward in their presentation, which is a pity, because while I liked the content being presented (like Serara's realizations of her own weakness and shortcomings as an adventurer) the way it was presented felt a little...shoddy at times. A pity.

We also have a new...erm...class? Race? Something?...show up called a "genius" - this was called the genius of marriage or some such? That, combined with the letter from Roe2 and the pv for the next ep seem to hint at new changes approaching.

[~Yami~]

hmm... they have done a fantastic job in closing this arc
I'm glad the kids didn't leave the town without smiling since they smile a lot at the beginning of the quest
Isuzu just showed that she is the real idol.. not Tet--- *smacked by Tetra*

That Camus arc is a perfect filler
in the end, Souji's harem are the one who finish the job

I found out that Akiba's situation and what happened at wyvern town is a struck of reality...
I don't think Round Table managed to solve this problem *since they also lost Crusty*
you can't simply solve the unmotivated citizen problem... I think the least they could do is trying to avoid war

at this rate, would we get to Minami's arc? is it only 3 episodes left?

[DQueenie13]

Camus mini-arc isn't over yet. We see his monster form in the preview for next episode, along with Souji and co in battle.

Minami doesn't ... have an arc, though, and what we have of one in the light novels has already been covered in the anime (sans details about Nureha taking over).

Same here. Sure that Shiroe saved Akihabara from going default, the problem he'll be facing are leechers. I'm worried that they'll get more displaced when Akihabara caught in a war against Plant Hwyaden, although it didn't happen thanks to Nureha.

[Yan3242]

Can someone explain or maybe a link about this "genius" thingy? New class? Are they lander? Really has no clue about this genius thing.

And i also notice that akiba structure seems to be more "dirty" and messier, some building got crack all over the place, i guess the defense barrier also sort as "durability" repair system? Before the barrier down, everything in akiba seems cleaner and always in good condition.

About those "homeless" unmotivated, are they a mixed of lander and player? I always though they are all lander

Lander is the one who want war? I though its the adventurer who want it to happen, cause you know... "Just a game", "we cant die" sort of reason.

Wonder how the griffon take all those kids back to akiba, its only 2 seater

Prolly best to ask about that in the novel thread for now, though the anime may go into it next wek some more as well.

[DQueenie13]

Episode 14 introduced the Genius. Probably doesn't answer too many questions, since it's not supposed to, but it'll give a better sense of what they are.

[mergele]

I really had problems with the last episode, but this one got it back up again.

[Yan3242]

Oh it hasnt been spoil yet in the anime? I remember episode 14 did talk about it, but i dont understand anything when they start talk stuff
