#Log horizon season 2 how to
This is my first review I have done and any constructive criticism on how to better write my reviews would be welcomed. Let's just hope they receive a better budget and have more material to work with for a third season. I felt that maybe there wasn't enough material from the LNs to make a second season. A third season doesn't look likely to be soon because the LNs have now been caught up. With the inclusion of my own enjoyment I gave it an 8. Comedic elements were still entertaining for me and the action and characters were still enjoyable. I know many who would find this season to be a huge disappointment compared to the first season but considering what I suspect as being budget changes and a new studio I can see why. We're still left with a question of, 'What are they trying to do within the world.' We also got a little taste as to who the ''villains'' of Elder Tale are but their inclusion to the story was very minor.Įven with the flaws of this season I still enjoyed it and being an MMOPG gamer I think it helped. I enjoyed the new characters and they were extremely entertaining but the development of the characters were rather disappointing compared to last season. There were quite a few introductions to new characters we had never really met aside from cameos and then some from the weird jungle of the anime rainforest. Voice actors didn't change and the new seiyuu I felt fit their roles. The OST for Log Horizon didn't change and since I enjoyed the first season OST as well, I didn't really have any gripes with it for the second season. Animation was again not great but better in some places than others, the finale seemed to be where they did a better job at least. I would give the art style a 7 because obviously there was a change in studio and possibly budget was an issue. Overall enjoyable but with the filler episodes and poor pacing I give it a 6. The story followed a very heavily focused ''raid'' element and a few filler episodes. Looking back the same plot threads which were started were left unfinished (mainly because the anime has caught up to the source material therefore a third season is a long way off). This was what annoyed me the most since I enjoyed them so much I wanted a third season. Oddly these felt like some of the more enjoyable and entertaining episodes of the entire season with elements left over that pointed towards a direction the story would take. However after that arc the story seemed to pick up but then felt drawn out with the addition of what felt like filler episodes. Overall it didn't add much to the story, however the inclusion of a certain character and introduction of another certainly helped but left me clueless as to their purpose of being there. But here it just felt like they didn't grow much but rather helped reinforce their own ideals and morals in addition to giving very little back story to their lives in the real world. similar to the last season there was an arc to develop the younger members of Log Horizon and that was done pretty well. half we were given with a valentines day filler episode and an enjoyable Kanami episode to give an idea of what's going elsewhere in the world. Overall I would say that if you're a big MMORPG player you'll connect with the characters more but if you're not then it will just leave you confused. With each episode covering usually two different scenarios within the world for our beloved characters to face. The first half of this season focused in a lot more on the element of MMORPG raiding and immediately the pace of the show slowed down.


I have assumed anyone reading this has watched the first season. Having finished the entire second season here are some of my opinions on how this season turned out.
