History Heartwarming / LogHorizon

* Episode 3: Shiroe's flashback to his days in the Debauchery Tea Party. They all seemed like such good friends and enjoyed the game in a TheWorldIsJustAwesome sense.
* Episode 3: Akatsuki [[spoiler:jumping off a bridge to save Shiroe from a river, followed by Naotsugu fishing them both out.]]

*** In the manga, when Shiroe realizes that Tohya and Minori were taken in and exploited by Hamelin rather then a benevolent guild, he charges out of the Crescent Moon guild hall. Akatsuki and Naotsugu start out after him, but Nyanta tells them to leave it him without even the use of words. By this time, even with Akatsuki and Nyanta having met for several days at best, she has placed enough trust into him that she would leave Shiroe's side and allow Nyanta to take over.
*** Nyanta's determination is greater here, he did not leave the Nekomanma guild he was in all this time even long after its informal disbanding, and left that guild he was so fond of to join Shiroe's guild because he view Shiroe more as a family member than any other players and is now ready to move on from his past.

* In Minori's flashback in Episode 8, you see Tohya happily running and stomping about while she's crying just after the Catastrophe. The episode itself only hints at it,(more fully explained in season 2) but the novel explains that Tohya's real-world body was crippled in an accident. He and his sister may be trapped in the game, but for right now, ''Tohya can walk again''.
* In one brief, but potent scene, Shiroe can be seen standing outside Hamelin's guild hall and trying (and failing) to open their door. There is a distinct impression that even though he already has a [[ThePlan plan]] in motion and despite his status as a SquishyWizard, [[PapaWolf he really wants to just go in there and get Tohya and Minori out of there, regardless of any Hamlin members in his way.]]
** Probably just a way of showing how stuff works in-universe, the original novel talks about not able to get in but did not have Shiroe trying himself. None the less, good character development there.(Which the anime is usually better in side characters)

** Kanami talks about her three year old daughter (you can pick up your jaws now), and how cute she is, and how she's looking forward to showing her the world of Elder Tales. Then she tells her "bus guide" (A.K.A. Shiroe) to make it happen.

The episode itself only hints at it, but the novel explains that Tohya's real-world body was crippled in an accident. He and his sister may be trapped in the game, but for right now, ''Tohya can walk again''.

** The concert and Rudy cheering for Iuzu.

* Episode 22: Minori shows off her new BagOfHolding and looks so damn proud of herself; her {{moe}} skyrockets.

* Episode 17: Roe2's happiness at being called "big sister" is adorable.

* In the closing sequence, one scene shows Raynesia and some of her friends around Akatsuki, Raynesia sat beside her legs. Akatsuki's ImagineSpot is her enjoying a massive pile of red bean buns with said friends, and Akatsuki's even licking her lips with a huge grin at the very thought of it!

** The concert and Rudy cheering for Iuzu.

** How important each and every member of Silver Swords is him on a personal level.

** Among the spoils for the raid is an item that reduces the [=EXP=] lost when dying; i.e. it reduces ''memory lost''. William recognizes the significance of this, and he gives to "The Villain". Then he asks to be on his friend list, and Shiroe says he's already done so.

** Log Horizon turns out to welcome back its away members. Rudy even dressed up for the occasion!

* Episode 11: Demikas uses a monk technique to absorb an [=AoE=] big enough to hit a dozen players. This is on his own initative and it's implied to pretty painful. He's finally becoming a team player.

* Episode 12: The look of Demikas' face when he sees his name alongside the Silver Swords [[spoiler:upon completing the Abyssal Shaft raid]] and even eating with them. He may have finally found TrueCompanions of his own.

** Shiroe and Akatsuki meeting the afterlife. It's a quietly sweet moment.

** Finally, the speech restoring morale in every single Silver Sword member.

** To celebrate their victory, the Maidens of Watermaple throw a pajama party and Akatsuki reflects on friendship and what it means to protect someone; a place they belong and can feel happy.

That this earnest girl may go forward [[DefiedTrope without]] [[BreakTheCutie bending or breaking]], repelling evil curses and this world's tragedies, so that [[EmpathicWeapon man may support blade, and blade support man]].''"

** Henrietta taking on a sisterly role for (the presumably younger) Rieze when she finds out about Crusty.

** The later half of the episode is Akatsuki learning a lesson in ThePowerOfFriendship.

** Raynessia has a {{tsundere}} moment complaining that the "monster" (I.E. Krusty) was only around earlier when she didn't need him, and now that she does, he's gone.

** We see Naotsugu and Maryelle engaged in a private voice-chat session while he and Shiroe are off with Silver Sword for the big raid into the Depths of Palm. The sheer amount of ShipTease here reaches to {{WAFF}} levels, especially when Maryelle tells Henrietta that she and Naotsugu agreed on this together, just so she could check in on them and see how they're doing, though Naotsugu in particular. They chat every night at 9:00pm on the nose, and based on their dialogue, they may be planning on doing something together for Christmas when Naotsugu and Shiroe get back from the raid. Henrietta's response is a smile and some playful teasing at her friend's expense.
** Willaim agrees to help Shiroe immediately. He's so casual about it, it's like a "we're friends. The reason doesn't matter" thing

** Naotsugu and Tetra's teamwork is sweet, given their earlier animosity. He talks about how [[TrueCompanions our guild is our home]].

** Krusty shows up unannounced at Raynesia's new home in Akibara, for tea and SnarkToSnarkCombat. He sits down on the couch and [[ShipTease she scoots closer]] but there's still a gap.
