On the other hand, I'm thinking that Nureha gave the Odyssey Knights the mobile temple technology. |

I thought their player info said they were part of PH? Although considering how crazy they were, not sure they would follow any orders anyway. Interesting tech Minami has been coming up with, even if it seems a lot more reckless/dangerous.
Whoops, now I remember his life story, and its understandable he'd want to get back, but repeated dying just seems really insane. I can see that Odyssey Knight's POV too, sorry to reference the other major "trapped in MMO" anime, but that was more common there, being desperate to get back home, to family and friends, and his life story would normally be sympathetic... just the crazed look in his eyes really doesn't help his cause. For some people, they love being in the game (somewhat surprised the anime went into that much detail about Tohya's sad life, compared to how they just had vague inferences before), but in a way these guys are worse than the random PKers Shiroe had to deal with early on. I think Shiroe has been looking into the whole "trapped in game" thing quietly, but its a relatively minor priority for him, with little to no clues or info and plenty of other more dangerous problems to deal with first. Kind of surprised we haven't seen more of those, what did Shiroe call them, nostalgia groups, compared to Shiroe's nation building and Minami's experimenting. We know repeated dying is just going to erode their memories more (and Roe2's comments make it seem like part of a larger plan), and the info has probably somewhat spread in-world by now, but these guys seem more like they're just floundering about and desperate for any glimpse of the real world by this point. Well, not everybody can be as analytical as Shiroe and his group of course... which is why they makesfor such a nice contrast with Log Horizon members (who definitely believe the "game" world is real now and are trying to follow all of Shiroe's advice). |

Considering how Roe2 said that the constant deaths would help the Genius monsters - I am wondering if the portable cathedral and maybe the Lander Summoner thing were created using information planted by the Genius monsters.

I think my brain got fried when minori and roe2 start talking those "i dont know what the hell are they talking about" stuff
And i dont get the servant and exp pot thing too, can someone explain that part about research about servant and injecting exp pot stuff? So this 1 guy act as the host, summoning a lot of servant to farm exp? God why there is a lot of complicated stuff in this episode Those oddysey knight should be called suicide squad That red hair lady inside the train is a lander? I though she is a player |

wow this starting to get intense...for all the folks out there who had been wondering about who wanted to know more info about the mistreatment of landers and people actually wanting to go home well here you go.
- Experimentation on Landers to make them stronger soldiers - Suicide Cults thinking dieing will get them home I mean damn how much more great can this story get?

Tbh the focus was put on the Landers so much, that it seemed hard to think that there's possibilities of having conflict among the players. Now the story seems like Minami's bright heads versus Shiroe's (that sure is on an island when it comes to competence )

This would have been a great episode if it didn't come after many, many episodes of sheer time-wasting. And in itself it is half an episode.
I understand the context, the feelings, the development, I really do -- with the exception of the intentionally mysterious Roe2 -- but I don't feel half of it because, and I can't believe I'm saying this about Log Horizon, people talk too much. I understand the relevation about the knights' reckless actions. I intellectually sympathize with Touya's outburst, his background and his emotions, but all I could feel was me wanting to tell him and the rest of the kids, I don't care, get a move on and do something useful plox. Talking a lot used to be the series' strength. Talking and/or flashbacks significantly enriches this series' wide cast with depth and agency. I'm sure it continues to be a strength in the novels. But while speech was action in the previous season, here it does not mix well with slow panning, people taking their time standing around with no movement, cheaply emotional music, Isuzu being forced to repeat her song the zillionth time. There are wyverns all over town. Why is it taking a whole episode to not even confront the things? It's taking its time like its Naruto or other outstays-its-welcome absurdly long shounen stories that need to conserve budget at any cost. I hate those. I. hate. those. I don't want to hate this series. Deen, stahp. |

As always my comments reflect someone whose view of the work is based entirely on the anime adaptation. Adapting popular works is always fraught with problems as the producers need to balance the desires of existing fans with the demands of the audiovisual medium. A.O. Scott's column in the Times this week on Fifty Shades of Grey contains a thoughtful discussion of these issues. Quote:

I liked this episode a lot. The one thing that has been lacking from the show was there were not enough exposition to how people were feeling for being forced to live in this world and how much they had been missing their own world.
