shinolextazy 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 8/10Second Season 6/10(Many character seemed circular drawn to me)Sound: First Season 9/10Second Season 9/10(Both season's fight sounds and all other sounds was great)Character: First Season 7/10Second Season 9/10(The new characters on second season was good. They added them as help on rainforest)Story: First Season 9/10Second Season 6/10Overall: 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.

skippersd 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.

Tweekums The game 'Elder Tales', an immersive MMORPG, has been popular for some time but when a new upgrade is added its players find themselves trapped within the game. There are over thirty thousand people caught in the game with no obvious way out. Typically one would expect the rest of the series would see them struggling to find a way out but here they quickly come to accept that, at least for the time being, this will be their new home. The story is centred around Shiroe and his friends; he is a strategist and soon sets about making the world a better place for them to live. He slowly increases his influence and helps build alliances so food and such like is shared fairly. As well as uniting the various groups of players he must build friendly relations with the NPCs; the so called 'Players of the Land'. There is still fighting to be done of course; there are both monsters and players who would rather not treat others fairly that need dealing with.Having watched 'Sword Art Online' I was expecting more of the same but this proved quite different; nobody can die, and more time is spent world building than fighting. There is also a larger cast of important characters to remember; Shiroe may be the main character but there are lots of other interesting people too; notably his friend Akatsuki, a female assassin; Nyanta, the cat headed chef who discovers food that actually tastes of food and Minori and Tohya, two young low-level players Shiroe has to rescue… although to be honest there are so many important characters it is impossible to remember them all while typing up a revue but while watching they are fairly distinctive in both appearance and character. The story progresses nicely with some exiting battle scenes and negotiations which are tenser than one might expect. As the story enters its second series there is a disappointing habit of having some episodes focusing on secondary characters although even these aren't bad.As the second series came to a conclusion it was clear that the story wasn't over so I wouldn't be surprised if we get series three at some point; I certainly hope we do as I enjoyed this more than I expected.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

michaelzay 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!
