The premise intrigued me and I was pretty much hooked from episode 1. This is an interesting show, not quite what I expected it to be from the early episodes going in.
Those early episodes introduce our main characters and have them set out on quite an exciting quest. This is how I thought the show would pan out but it totally went against my expectations and for the next few episodes the show slowed down and had our characters discuss what their purpose was in this new reality. From there the show focuses more on politics and strategy than just action and adventure.
This isn't
...
a complaint, in fact I found it quite refreshing that the show would take such a mature approach to its subject. The show still has room for plenty of comic moments and our band of heroes are all likeable and relatable.
The animation is pretty good, shining especially during the action scenes. The music is also nice too (I loved the end theme and though the Japanese/English nu-metal opening makes me laugh, it got me pumped every time).
I was pleased to hear there will be a second season. There's plenty of more the show can do and there is also room for improvement. If it's another full 25 episode season then I think the show could more fast paced. Plot-wise I'd liked to see more focus on the characters past lives in the real which the show barely touched on.
Something tells though that Log Horizon has set its sights high and overall this solid season gives me hope that the show will achieve epic things.
