Log Horizon 2nd Season

After being trapped in the world of Elder Tale for six months, Shiroe and the other Adventurers have begun to get the hang of things in their new environment. The Adventurers are starting to gain the trust of the People of the Land, and Akiba has flourished thanks to the law and order established by Shiroe's Round Table Alliance, regaining its everyday liveliness. Despite this success, however, the Alliance faces a new crisis: they are running out of funds to govern Akiba, and spies from the Minami district have infiltrated the city.

As formidable forces rise in other districts, there is also a need to discover more about the vast new world they are trapped in—leading Shiroe to decide that the time has come to venture outside the city. Accompanied by his friend Naotsugu and the Sage of Mirror Lake Regan, the calculative Shiroe makes his move, hoping to unravel new possibilities and eventually find a way home.

Season 2: Good but with less rewatchable quality

Compared to S1, this next adventure in the Log Horizon files does feel like a big step back and a disappointment. The first episode's structure was to entice people about what's to come, but really it only left a confusing mess. It didn't help that the next 6 or 8 episodes were really slow. S2 had a lot of trouble balancing the two separate plotlines and may have lingered on them longer than necessary.

Another hard pill to swallow when it comes to S2 is that it doesn't begin to be as interesting as S1 until much later. The ... members of Log Horizon, save for Akatsuki, seem to be missing as the story focuses on a serial killer and incorporates the other guilds. There are some good moments with the younger members of Log Horizon later on when they get their first quest, and the world-building finally catches up to them once Shiroe finds out important information on potentially going home, but for the majority of S2, it felt like it was random stories that didn't flow well into one another, waiting to get to this important piece of information.

I'm giving it a 7 for now, but there's a good chance that S2 will drop to a 6 in the near future upon another rewatch.

Mixed Feelings

TO START OFF;

YES, the pacing is significantly slowed down compared to season one,

I RECOMEND watching it how u would watch filler,
(if you watch 'filler' because thats kinda what this season compiles,

What i mean is doing other things on the side like doing something that doesnt take up your complete attention,

WHY I DO/DID THIS; the storyline is stretched out, and the character buildup they try to do to mask it up doesn't work enough to grab your attention like it should,
...
EITHER WAY, i dont think its appauling, just super mid, i would've rated it lower if I forced myself to pay FULL ATTENTION to it instead of multi-tasking,
thats why i had it at a 7 or 9 untill now,

After hearing the announcement of the 3rd season I decided to check out the anime. I know the anime is old but with the upcoming season there may be new fans that might want to check out the show.

In this season they tried to do way to much for a 25 episode anime, with the pacing being off. We got so much useless info dumps which I felt didn't really matter because they would just add another rule which would make the other obsolete. New threats were being introduced left and right with none of them being solved. The princess adventurer they ... introduced in the first season left us at a cliff hanger, and you would expect them to follow up on that. Instead of her planning an attack or strategizing they showed her moping around and grieving.

The shows pacing and threat dumps could have been solved easily if they didn't focus on side characters too much. This shows biggest issue is showing us useless character development. Side characters like: Minori, Touya, Isuzu, Roundelhouse, get way too much screen time than they deserve. In both seasons of the anime specially in this season the took up 80% of screen time. While we got to see the MC's party in bits and pieces most of the anime focus on those 4. They get so much screen time but in an actual raid with the MC we only see Minori fight and frankly that goes for only 2-3 seconds of Shiro saying something to her. I would have loved to see more of what Kazuna was up to in other servers or what Plant Hwyaden was up to. Instead of getting that we get an episode of valentines day about cooking sweets. Isuzu and Roundelhouse have a strange relationship, her treating him like a dog is very disturbing. This anime should be called "Side characters and maybe the MC". I will keep the review short so, if you like a story that doesn't involve the MC then this anime is for you. I just can't see myself passing this.
