About Log Horizon 2

If you are hunting for a new action series, Log Horizon 2 (ログ・ホライズン 2) deserves a look (2014). The setup goes like this. In short: After struggling to survive in a surreal existence they were suddenly thrown into, Shiroe and his companions have managed to restore order to Akihabara by defending the people against the Goblins in the Zantleaf Region. After six long months with the team gaining the trust of the many guilds that use the metropolis as their home base, they must now prepare for their unforeseen future – and a tough winter ahead.

Along the way, once shy and a little standoffish, Shiroe has stepped up and shown that he can be a great leader. Can he keep Akatsuki, Naotsugu, and the rest of the gang together as they start to have differing opinions on their future course of action? Will the clique agree to leave the safety of the holy land of Akihabara to head off to one of the other four cities and explore foreign lands of Elder Tale?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Shiroe (Takuma Terashima) and Akatsuki (Emiri Katou) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio DEEN, which means the visual identity of Log Horizon 2 follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.3/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Takuma Terashima as Shiroe, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2014, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
