Log Horizon

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
