heh, sorry for pointing it out.

hmm, looks like next week's going to be an introduction of another world-expanding character. I'm not really interested in the LH Jr.'s adventure but if it's a way to introduce new characters then why not watch it?

[MartianMage]

Pretty fun episode... but that preview though... looks like Shiroe? A Shiroe fan?

[HandofFate]

female shiroe incoming next week.

I don't mind the LH jrs.
Looking forward to more Isuzu x Rudy.

I hate Serara though. All she has to her character is her lovesickness for the cat.
At least everyone else has some kind of other character trait along with their love interest, Serara is just catlove.

[Benigmatica]

Good to see those rookies getting some attention! Let's hope that Minori's party would be safe from Plant Hwyaden!

[Stark700]

Episode felt slow tbh but I liked Rudy so it was worth it. I wonder how long the upcoming episodes will cover Touya's team though. Should be interesting if done right.

[Side-streetdog]

Shorten Kanami arc to 1 episode and extend rookies preparation to whole episode?
That's so mean...

At least I will get Roe2 next episode.
But why I feel LH2 gonna end with original plot...

[ChampDream]

well I like the episode even if it was somewhat slow and next episode seem interesting.

At this point I tend to agree. I didn't mind Serara so much when she was first introduced. But the entire time her character hasn't advanced at all. She is exactly the same person she started as. Lovestruck girl with an active imagination.

I do look forward to more Isuzu though. Easily my favorite of the junior members. Should get good development on this trip as she faces her feelings towards music, her ability, her father, etc. Going on a "tour" while she feels this conflicted should make for some good moments.

[Nvis]

Boring episode, but next one looks fun.

[Proto]

This is by far my favorite Log Horizon episode of the season. I could literally feel the excitement for an adventure from the rookies. The VA's were exhuding anticipation and happiness. I think this is the first time a series has come close to making me cry from sheer excitement and how well eloquent the feelings they were expressing were.

Bravo log Horizon. Bravo Mamare, I never failed to be impressed. 10/10

[Random14]

Nice to see the junior members of Log Horizon get the spotlight, with only cameos of the regular main cast worrying over. I also like seeing some of the other things the Adventurers have come up with- like a tank and a truck cab that still has wooden wheels.

Though when was it mentioned that Minori was a bad artist? Forget where that joke was from, but considering the rest of their reactions, her art must be very bad. Fun atmosphere of adventure as they set out, it'll be interesting to see what else they encounter in their still changing world.

I remember something about her obsession towards Shiroe that she draw pictures of him. Heck, Minori even made dolls based on the Villain with Glasses.

[Ickarium]

To be fair, they weren't very good pictures as I recall.

We've seen her doodles on her Shiroe-notes through out seaon 1 and 2. It's been shown numerous times with horrible artwork.

[Random14]

True, she's not a great or even decent artist, just surprised that she even tried to paint their carriage and everyone reacted with horror. Usually only see that reaction when the delusional lethal chef tries to cook.

She should have gotten whoever painted that Lenessia carriage, they were a good artist, though it would have probably been expensive too.

this how i want a quest to be done in future mmo game, read quest properly and prepare stuff accordingly, not just charge through everything

compare to how we do things, recieve quest, look map, go to "X" spot, *do something*, report back, done and on to next one, didnt even read the text granted we probably done it thousand times so the "feeling" is gone but still....

i found the "send off" party is pretty funny and weird (although nice), its not like they'll be out of touch, the senior can always check on them through whisper, private communication or such

[Sheba]

Shiroe told them to not use the whisper and private comm functions. I think he believe that being trapped in a reality much like the game gives the younger people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually experience the feel of an adventure that you couldn't feel through playing videogame or even reading a book. I do agree with this sentiment.

[Jan-Poo]

Hmmm I just have a question... who is the quest giver?
And don't they need to get flagged for the quest before starting, or are they getting the quest items first?

[Yan3242]

hmm so like a roleplay? i can dig that

as for the quest giver, i think its no one, shirou did say to colect the material for it, so i think someone can actually just craft the magic bag.
