Log Horizon – 01
「大災害」 (Dai Saigai)
“The Apocalypse”
A sword-and-sorcery adventure in an MMORPG world. This feels exactly like what stepping into an MMO would be like, complete with a lightness of tone and an adorable roleplaying ninja.

「聖者の右腕編I」 (Seija No Uwan Hen I)
“The Right Arm of the Saint I”
“Smelling a girl’s wallet and getting turned on?” The quote says it all.
「気が付けば異世界」 (Kigatsukeba i Sekai)
“Awakening in the Other Realm”
Fantasy fans need to watch this. Comedy fans need to watch this. Romance fans need to watch this. Fans of world building need to watch this. Fans of Hataraku Maou-sama! or Scrapped Princess need to watch this. Fans of good storytelling need to watch this. You need to watch this.
「海と大地のまんなかに」 (Umi to Daichi no Mannaka ni)
“Between the Land and Sea”
Always trust P.A. Works to bring in the glorious, glorious scenery porn.
「勇者になれなかった俺はレジを打っています。」 (Yuusha ni Narenakatta ore wa Reji o Utte Imasu.)
“I Couldn’t Be a Hero, So I’m Working the Register”
A little ecchi, a little funny, a little endearing, good pacing…this first episode didn’t jump out at me (except for the boobs), but it was a solid effort all around.
「スプリングタイム」 (Supuringu Taimu)
“Spring Time”
It may be fall, but a new spring of romantic comedy has come to grace us. Give a warm welcome to Golden Time!
「あざみのごとく棘あれば」 (Azami No Gotoku Toge Are Ba)
“If Only I Had Thorns Like A Thistle”
That was fabulous.
「一夏(ひとなつ)の想いで」 (Ichi Natsu (Hito Natsu) no Omoi de)
“The Memory of Summer”
They’re baaaack! This episode mainly served as a reintroduction to the characters, though it also provided a little intrigue and plenty of fun with Butler Charlotte and Meido Laura.
「カーマイン」 (Kaamain)
“Carmine”
Even with all the hype that surrounds this series, I’d like to think that KyoAni has met my expectations in terms of a pilot episode for Kyoukai no Kanata.
「予習篇」 (Yoshuu-hen)
“Recap”
I’ve seen all this before, and I’m still not sure what’s going on. I do know one thing, though – it’s totally awesome!
