Joke's on you! Marmalade already published an official apology on his website and paid his back taxes. The investigation is over and everything has been resolved, although he had to pay an additional 100K in fines. The media is just blowing things out of proportion because they're only now getting ahold of the story. Which sounds like a better headline to you: "Light Novel Author Pays Back Taxes and Fines." or "LOG HORIZON AUTHOR ARRESTED FOR TAX EVASION!"?

I'm not sure of how popular it is in Japan, but it seems to me that there's a disproportionate level of interest in the series outside of its country of origin.

The interest in Log Horizon is middling in Japan — the type of hero Shiroe is doesn't really draw as much readers as, say, Kirito or any other self-insert power fantasy. To give you an idea, the first book of the original Gate novel has sold more copies than all of the Log Horizon books combined so far.

Any news?... Or at least spoilers from the novels?
All I could find is that there are some problems with the writer.

Hurray! Very few details atm.
So yeah, I have absolutely no memory of what happened in this in the first two seasons, apart from a vague recollection of it expanding its cast way too much in the second and kind of losing its focus. Watching that opening somewhat reinforces that impression. Let's hope I'm wrong.
Need to find a place to recap the previous season without stumbling on too many light novel spoilers I suppose. Doubt I'll have the time to rewatch the whole thing, tho I'm kinda tempted. Maybe the second season works better in a binge.

Second season does work better as a binge.
Also, first episode of season three is out! This are happening at a much faster pace than they did in season two, probably because they only have twelve episodes to work with. I feel bad for Raynesia, being married off like that. Makes me hope Krusty will return to sweep her off her feet.

I can't guarantee there aren't spoilers in the comments though.
Episode 3: ELECTION ARC LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well, I guess realistically it will probably be only an episode long instead of its own entire arc, but still. HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!

Interesting that DDD is going to splinter into smaller factions. That creates quite a few more ways the Adventurer situation can develop.
Touri seems like a decent fellow. Especially for keeping the Betelgeuse ripoff in line. I'm hyped for the election too.
Ep 4 aired today. Was good stuff. I feel so proud of Rayneshia. She's grown so much from the cowardly, lazy princess of early Season 1. I have a feeling her election day speech next week will be the icing on the character development cake. :D
