Maybe it was not made to be told that way, but it was framed that way.īefore we dive into it, we should start with definitions first because this might be confusing since these are not exactly literary classifications, just some shorthand that has been used by some people. Season 2 even at its best arcs was framed around the psychological storytelling side – yes, even the “adult cast”. The youngling cast arc are more psychological in nature. Season 1’s two starting arc focused heavily on the sociological side – or rather, the main cast, the adult cast as they say, are better suited to a more sociological framing. I have never actually read the blog until I watched the first episode of Log Horizon Season 3 And that is when it struck me: I may have found one thing that helped in giving people the feeling that Season 1 and That video links a blog from Scientific American, “The Real Reason Fans Hate The Last Season of Game of Thrones” by Zeynep Tufekci, which posits that it’s not just bad storytelling –its because the storytelling style shifted away from sociological storytelling to focus solely on psychological storytelling. Log Horizon season 3 gets 8 round tables out of 10.Ī couple of years ago, I watched a YouTube video about Isaac Asimov and sociological storytelling. If you’ve seen the first two seasons and liked them, it goes without saying that you should watch the latest season, just be prepared for a drop in quality.

Hopefully, the series begins to get more consistent updates and we don’t have to be left in limbo about a potential season 4 as long as we were for 3. The finale single handedly raised my score for the show. But, the highs of the season, such as Krusty and Minori’s mini-arcs really were enjoyable to me and made me nostalgic of the first two seasons. At times things seem to be dragging on forever. Overall, the pacing issues are definitely noticeable in this season of Log Horizon. Therefore, parts of this season were always going to be stretched and paced weirdly, which showed.

As I mentioned earlier, the author’s tax-evasion situation really put the series on hold and it’s only recently got back to being updated. If I had to identify a reason as to why the season was so inconsistent, it would probably be because of the small amount of content that was available to adapt. Episode 11 for example is amazing, definitely the best episode we’ve had since season 2, but then the episode before that was pretty “meh”. I also felt that the quality of episodes was inconsistent. Log Horizon has always been a slow, dialogue driven show.

The finale arc was also pretty fun and gave some really nice shine to Minori, who has always been my favourite The second mini-arc focusing on Krusty was really what most fans of the series were looking forward to seeing adapted, and I do think that was a very enjoyable set of episodes, the peak of the season for sure. The first arc is a political power struggle that’s pretty good, but nothing amazing. same themes that we know and love about Log Horizon are there, but they just don’t feel the same. Unfortunately, this third season of the beloved LN series failed to capture the glory of its first two seasons. When we got news that season 3 had been green-lit, I couldn’t believe my eyes, but it immediately became my most anticipated sequel. Seasons 1 and 2 were extremely well received and offered a unique political and economic style approach to the isekai genre.

After the author went through a tumultuous tax-evasion case the series went on a hiatus and most of the momentum seemed to have been killed. For years, the concept of a 3rd season of Log Horizon seemed like a pipe-dream.
