Log Horizon

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!

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!

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.

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.

After watching Overlord i wanted another good isekai so I was recommended this .i loved the first chapter of the first season but then they added more characters which caused less time for the main character it just went boring i expected something better from this .The animation is good but the writers did a bad job
