Now, Log Horizon's director Shinji Ishihira is great at getting every scrap of source material he can for content. However, he's returning to directing Fairy Tail this spring, which stands a high chance of running for a year at minimum. So he'll likely be unavailable to direct Log Horizon season 2.


Damn. He did a good job with the adaptation of season one.

All told, unless the author manages to rush out a couple more books between now and fall, you're looking at either a one cour season, drastically slowed pacing, or lots of filler.


Double damn. I'd take a one cour season over lots of filler, but that's still a downer.

SAO is only doing Phantom Bulet right now but if the decide to do a second half Log Horizon and SAO might be competing with eachother for a bit. That will be interesting. Not to mention all of the Mecha series popping up to challange the "Gundam Reconguista in G" anime this fall. Then we also have Psycho Pass 2 coming out.

Fall season should be pretty fun.


They have only announced Phantom Bullet for SAO, doesn't mean they won't do two cours and transition into the next phase.

There is no competition between SAO and LH, SAO kills it in sales. The only reason Log Horizon is (thankfully) getting a sequel is because it's on NHK. They are a public broadcasting that have quota's to fill and don't really give a shit about bluray sales, see Phi Brain getting 3 seasons.

I hated the anime Shocked


how could you hate this anime? it did everything right that its predecessors did wrong.


While I agree with that, it also did everything wrong its predecessors did right...


Log Horizon did really well to carve out its own niche. I was pleasantly surprised by it and will tune in for the second season. That said, while it's certainly more technically sound than SAO, it lacks the direction and gravity. I still prefer SAO, but I can understand why some prefer Log Horizon as a more easy going alternative more faithful to the MMO genre.
