The review is only for Season One
There were some good episodes but most of the journey was a drag, going into too much details and build-up of characters really slowed the pacing down also the animation is mediocre.

After watching Overlord i was hungry for similar material, which Log Horizon is. My expectations were low as i though the graphics was aimed at a younger audience, but boy was i wrong. It was not long before i could not wait to watch the next episode to see what happens. Unlike many other trapped in a MMORPG series this retains the MMORPG element at all times. The players are still, sort of, bound by the MMORPG rules and the tactics remain the same. However the changes are the most interesting elements, especially the people of the land and the new majic created. This will keep you glued to your seat once you get into it, which should be by episode 11, when the people of the land become involved. After that and you will need to resist being watching it. Also, unlike many other anime with the same MMORPG element, this is children safe. No fan base material included, so its safe to allow children to watch.

I didn't had too much hope for this one , since it's a mmorpg based anime , I thought it would be a all fights , average story , forced romance kinda anime . But boy o boy was I wrong ? What makes Log Horizon stand above other animes with similar themes (i.e SAO and Accel World)is that it's much more mature , focuses on the story , looks at the events from a strategic point of view , shows us what happens behind the curtains i.e the political side of the whole thing . It doesn't limit itself to some crappy one dimensional forced romance stories . The main character is a master strategist , the characters show enough complexity to keep them interesting .
There isn't any lone wolf mumbo jumbo going on , their is a cohesiveness feel on the show , when it comes to Log Horizon teamwork is the name of the game . All in all , if you are a fan of good old fashioned strategy and action- adventure stories , I suggest you give this a shot .

Log Horizon. Wow. Much better than expected. After reading about this anime I expected it to be a hack and slash one. Just like every single MMORPG. So I didn't really expect much of it.. But after watching the first episode I noticed it wasn't just like any hack and slash game at all! It's all trying to make their new 'world' into a better one! So that everybody can live happily until they found a way to get out of the game!
Log Horizon has a great story line in it so far! It's awesome to see how a tactician thinks about doing everything, and not just run in and see what happens.
In the first season it's all about strategies and trying to make their world better to live in. While I would've liked to see some more fighting from Shiroe.
I would really suggest this anime to everyone! Can't wait till the next season!

Most people tend to associate Log Horizon with Sword Art Online. Other than the most basic plot of being stuck in an MMORPG, the two shows don't have much in common. I'd even say that Log Horizon has everything that SAO lacked, and lacks where SAO excelled.
Pros: Internally consistent world, rich side characters, and many plot twists that actually do make sense in hindsight.
Cons: The animation feels sub-par compared to SAO, and the soundtrack lacks that little something that made SAO's soundtracks so iconic.
The show has a few quirks that you may dislike (sometimes it feels that most characters have a split personality in case of comedic relief, and the animation does dip into the large sweat drop when someone does something awkward style), but if you can let that slide, you will have a show with good pacing, interesting story filled with mystery, and a world that actually makes sense.

I'm playing MMORPGs since about 25 years now and so the this show is somewhat of a mixed bag for me.
When it comes to any MMORPG related content the show is nothing but awesome, expecially the depiction of raids!
Storywise it absolutely shines when it comes to the so called "42 songs".
The problem is: Those great episodes are unfortunately scarce and between there are TONS of extremely boring and unneccessary games-of-throne-ish politics or relationship-yadda-yadda for hours that leads nowhere except for 30 seconds in the last episode of s3.
I wish they would have made up their mind what they wanted the show to be.
A generic fantasy saga with realms, heroes, politics and houses OR an somewhat Isekai about a MMORPG.

I went in expecting just another fighting an enemy for a few episodes, then winning and fighting the next one.
But it expands so much on the world, and the story is really about making this new world a better place, stopping guilds who treat people unethically, and helping those in need.
The characters really grow on you, and they do a good job of setting the tone of the situation. Lots of serious parts, but also times where I genuinely laughed, something a lot of shows don't seem to do for me anymore.
I got hooked on this show really quickly, and I hope it continues to grow!

It was good for the first 20 episodes and I give it a 7 for that however after that it became just forced romance that was trying to take all the attention, because while the story was still ok I feel that it lost something when it started forcing romance.

After watching Sword art online and same category animes I found Log Horizon. The first season was wonderful I was charmed by it but then I saw second season and watched it.. That was the beginning of my nightmares lol.. I don't know how but it was like they did everything to screw up :/
Animation: First Season 8/10
Second Season 6/10(Many character seemed circular drawn to me)
Sound: First Season 9/10
Second Season 9/10(Both season's fight sounds and all other sounds was great)
Character: First Season 7/10
Second Season 9/10(The new characters on second season was good. They added them as help on rainforest)
Story: First Season 9/10
Second Season 6/10
Overall: First Season(9/10): First season was so good on overall rating they accomplished a good anime.
Second Season(5/10): Second season loses from his story.. The story was not original. I don't mean they stole it of course but there was nothing 'new' on second season. Thats why Log Horizon lost me on second season.

This anime suffers from one major flaw that eventually made me lose interest during season 2 - the flaw of having way too many boring fillers - meaningless dialogs and interactions that are super boring, and don't drive main plot at all. If these series were abridged leaving in only plot driving scenes, than there would be probably 20%~30% of entire material... The rest is obnoxious, boring drama. I recommend Overlord and Sword Art Online over this.

Really a great series.it is based on an mmorpg game where player stucked in the game like SAO.same concept but different story.i didn't expect the storyline to bes so deep.you will be hooked from episode 1 and seriously this is so interesting.it has adventure, magic, strategy,politics,and a little bit of romance.dont except great fight scenes.and all the characters are super loving and well made and voice artists literally went insane in this series. So Majestic voices.you will literally fall in love with this.my favourite are marie and nureha.i would love to if nureha would join the guild.so excited for next season.and one thing to say if this series had fight scenes like SAO then it would have more famous than SAO and one of the best isekai to consider.seriously guys give it a try.if you love strategy then it will captive you for sure. No series is perfect in every aspect and this lacks fighting styles.asides it i dont see any problem . Waiting for season 4💙

This anime is great. Not a bad option if you like isekai anime. At first I thought it wouldn't be that good. But it turns out surprisingly good. So,if you want watch it then watch. Though there isn't much of a romance like swort art online.

"Log Horizon" (2013-2021, 6.6/10) - an anime that offers an unconventional take on the "isekai" MMORPG genre. Unlike typical survival stories in a virtual world, the series focuses on strategy, politics, and the social aspects of existence in a new reality. The story follows Shiroe, a talented tactician, who, along with his allies, tries to adapt to life in the game Elder Tale and build a functioning society under these new conditions.
Strengths of the Series
The main advantage of Log Horizon is its attention to detail. Instead of classic action scenes, viewers are offered an exploration of diplomacy, economics, and the rules of the new world. The deep world-building approach makes the anime appealing to those who enjoy well-thought-out systems and complex intrigue.
The characters, especially Shiroe, Akatsuki, and Krusty, receive sufficient development, revealing themselves as strategists, leaders, and explorers of the new world. However, due to the large number of characters, some secondary figures do not get enough screen time.
The musical accompaniment, including the iconic opening "Database" by Man with a Mission, has become a signature element of the series, giving it a memorable style. Visually, the anime follows a familiar aesthetic, but the animation quality remains average, with no significant improvements from season to season.
Weaknesses of the Series
The main issue with Log Horizon is its pacing. While the first season successfully balances world exploration and tactical decision-making, the pacing becomes inconsistent in the second and third seasons. The latter half of the second season disappoints with drawn-out and overly complex storylines, while the third season suffers from a lack of dynamism and a weak finale.
Another controversial aspect is the lack of action. Unlike other isekai anime, Log Horizon rarely features large-scale battles, instead focusing on politics and societal organization. This makes the series interesting for some viewers but dull for those expecting fast-paced developments.
Conclusion
Log Horizon is an anime with a unique concept, emphasizing strategy, politics, and social transformations in a virtual world. Despite uneven pacing and a lack of dynamism in later seasons, the series remains an intriguing entry in the genre. Fans of MMORPGs, tactical decision-making, and complex systems may find it appealing, while those looking for action and intense drama may find it too slow.

This is soo damn cool. Its what we expected to see when we saw for the first time sao. Its so damn cool. It explores literaly all aspects of being trapped in a game, such as economy, building a society,fights, but also show us epic fights for bosses, raids, training, how systems work. Damn id love to live there.

I really dislike this type of anime-there's so much story to explore, but it gets off track on irrelevant side quests and uninteresting characters. The first season started off decent, but it just became more and more dull as it went on. Eventually, it felt like the anime itself lost track of what it was supposed to be doing.

Think of it is a lighter, less serious version of the same "trapped in a game / new world" story.
It's watchable, a nice diversion and you can find it dubbed..
Disclaimer: The characters don't have exceptional depth, You've got to give it a few episodes to get it's groove, and of course the first season is stronger than the second, but as rumor has it a third season is in the works it's worth a time when you're in the mood for a lighter story.
For a darker / grittier version of SOA "Grimgar" is still the best story I've seen.

So after watching "Drifters", I felt like watching another well received isekai series and this anime was one of them on my watchlist. This was the time to watch it!
I thought the main characters designs were good like the art was good. However the story just didn't move me at all, instead it bored me to tears. The English Dub cast weren't that bad at all but needed work too. I thought some of the voice actors who voiced some of the characters didn't match what type of voice they are required to do. However the plot bothered me more because it did have that potential to be a pretty decent isekai out there like Drifters,Overlord, Reincarnated as a Slime and Shield Hero.
Yeah it's just a bummer that it's not joining my best isekai anime list...

Initially it looks like a very large copy of Sword Art Online, but over time it makes its way by exploring the story of good characters, focusing much more on managing the virtual world than on adventures directly, his script explores different visions of how to deal with situation of getting stuck in a game.

Log Horizon Is one of the best takes on trapped in a video game world genre, I have seen. On how it tackles video game mechanics and make them interesting and evolving.
The show is about Society building and how to motivate gamers to work together, and it goes about it in a interesting and intelligent way.
It shows how to motivate people, what make people stay away from each other, and what is the reason that we play MMOs in the first place.
Log Horizon is very interested in game mechanics and how they would evolve, if real world logic were given to video game mechanics.
What makes food taste good?
What does evolution of class abilities to?
What if world quest are not resolved?
How to build a society from scrap?
Are a examples of what the Show tackles.
And even if I'm not the biggest fan of MMO raid and mechanics, The show depicts and shows the strategy in really good detail, and is no slouch in that department.
The characters are a good spectrum of every person, who could find themselves in a MMO game, And the villain behind glasses is such a fun main character, He is intelligent, but flawed.
Where log Horizon falters is in the Production, it looks very budget, but lucky the story is so good that you are willing to look at these very bland look. It's not the character design that is bad is just the coloring that makes it look so flat.
The show is mostly dialogue, but it's not good at presenting it, most of the time It's just blend shots and dialog in boring rooms, It really needed some more dynamic storyboards to make the dialogue more interesting or show some stuff while they talked.
The show's other problem is a really normal one, But still ashamed there not really a conclusion. It has a lot of really good memorable moments, but Ending there is not.
If you like Society buildings or MMOs you're gonna have a good time.
