I'd always assumed "B" myself, with "inside the game" translating to a fully realized fantasy world.

Next episode the festival arc, and they introduced the antagonist earlier, the leader of the Osaka region, another "Enchanter" that can use new spells beside Shirou, her goal, to have Shiroe to become her king.

So Akatsuki finally gets some screen time?

The last 10 episodes have been less entertaining without her. Her only real words in each one were "My Lord".

Literally.

Well~ Akatsuki and Minori will be the focus on the next arc, along with the new antoganist Nureha(My favorite chara from Log Horizon)<Wonder if S2 will her her real personality>
And the anime team is having fun with her too, in the credit, her VA is using a "Fake" name, like her character is doing in Log Horizon, when first introduced, she is able to use a new spell to mask her status as a adventuer, and show up as a lander in the status, and also able to use the teleport to travel between Minami and Akiba
And Book 6, the serial murder arc for season 2 should Akatsuki.


The anime team made her shorter www

So they are starting with the light hearted stuff first, then the "third" faction should appear in the next few episode before introducing herself.
They kept the majority of the plot point, only removing why the "Cake" owner is mad at Shiroe(Writing on the cake<You Lolicon, Going out with two girl at the same time?>
But they kept Shiroe trying to pick on the leader of the West Wind Brigade, next episode should be interesting to see how the cake shop react to Souichiro the Sword Saint and his Harem.
They also kept the Minori and Akatsuki scene, and Shiroe's strategic retreat failing.

Just finished it. Best episode ever.

Akatsuki was at her greatest, and easily best girl. The only problem with it was the annoying middle schooler or whatever Minori is.

I must be the only one here who puts both Akatsuki and Minori in the same "Moe blob ignore" pile. I do find it funny though that as far as I can tell, only Minori gets character development. Akatsuki is just kinda static. Too static for my tastes.

She gets book 6(Season 2) for herself.

REALLY hope LH did good enough to warrant a second season. And that it doesn't take forever to come out. There's only 5 episodes left of this one. =/

Well, Chain Chronicle is doing a collab with it, not as ridicilious as Attack on Titan, it's on Mobage, PSO2, and quite a few other mobage too.
http://chronicle.sega-net.com/loghorizoncp/index.html

And CC is owned by Sega, and Sega is preparing to release the PSO2 mobage, so LH might get a collab with it too.

I like Minori more as a character, for the same reasons Max mentioned. On the other hand, I find Akatsuki more entertaining with her antics/mannerisms. Sooooo . . . yeah, I still don't think I can get over them both looking like children, so I just found the whole episode pretty awkward for Shiroe. XD

Wonder what other people reaction to Nureha will be, and her "Truth" is revealed too, will it be like NEET Princess?
And wonder how the anime will do her introduction scene, and hopefully we get S2, and her "truth" revealed scene too.

As far as I know its selling pretty well, especially considering it was made somewhat on the cheap from what I understand. The author is also incredibly proud of his work and how the franchise is going, considering he does semi-regular Q&A's on /a/. I just hope some of the side manga get scanlated some time.

Yeah that's what I love about the author. He's been reaching out to the various fan bases directly.

And not just us, but as Tangy mentioned, the author went over to what's basically Taiwan's 2ch and did a direct QA there, and even told them unmentioned info about Elder Tales Taiwan Server.

Hell, IIRC Log Horizon was originally nothing but a short premise and summary that the guy did on 2ch, but a LOT of people really liked it so he said **** it, and made it a real thing.

Yep, before the anime aired, the author did his own populairty poll on his website, and got over 5000 vote.
And they authr/artist also did a special Wallpaper of the top 5 fan favorite character

Rank and Reason that author picked by voters.

1. Akatsuki(1186) - Reasons( Like how she's important in all the event in the background, small and cute
2. Shiroe (852)- Haven't seen much of this type of MC, I like how he thinks.
3. Nyanta(541) - Because he's a gentleman sage
4. Minori-450 - I like how she tries to copy Shiroe
5. Rudlehouse -209- I like how he goes against his fate as a lander to become a adventurer
6. Henrietta -186- She's a capable big sister.
7. Takayama Misa(Soldier girl next to Crusty) -158- I like her look and opposite attitude(She's a daycare teacher, and even in game, when you complete a objective/raid, she'll give you her own drawing/medal, like the kid she care for)
8. Nureha -154- I want to follow her, and a tragic heroine.
9. Krusty -134- He makes a great parellel to Shiroe

That was a fun episode for most of the characters, and Naotsugu's suit is the best thing ever. I was ready for a new serious plot arc though, so I'm glad things got started at the end of the episode.

I love those guys. I kind of wish they had their own side manga or something, I'd totally read that.

Overall fun episode, Minori shows how she can think like Shiroe, and Shiroe can't get used to the "tactic" employed by Nureha.
Using Souichiro to counter is like the novel, and the cake shop aftermath is in too.

But her voice and "real" appearnce will be next episode = =;

Well, I guess that's one of the good think for it being on NHK, they don't care about the BD sale number.
