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,

Why does the story think I care about other characters if I never really learned about them, until they are directly involved to some conflict?

The story does not revolve around the main character, and yet, they take too long to finish side character's arc. I dont know about everyone else, but I dont really care about side characters. Im not a big fan watching kids or MC's friends. But, the whole season spends too much time on kid's screen time, MC's friend's story arc, MC's friend's friend's story arc, and MC's friend's friend's opponent's story arc. MC just claims that he is busy with paperwork, ... and doesnt really do anything. He can just hire more mobs to do the work. What happened to hiring NPCs to do that paperwork with less labor fee, mentioned in seaseon 1? Paperwork is not a hard job to do, it just takes time. Then, why is one of the only player who is not braindead spending so much time doing paperwork for the entire season? The whole season had no real conflict, and yet they spend over 20 episodes airing a monkey show from the side characters. I already knew that the side monkeys are useless, but they really needed to show that with over 20 episodes. It's too unrealistic how stupid and useless everyone is in this show.

Why is information reveal so out of order?

The anime creates about 5 conflicts at once per start of the arc, but each conflicts carries about 2-3 significant, yet, unknown details. In total, that is 5 conflicts and 10-15 unkown details not revealed until the arc comes to a conclusion. The problem is that these hidden details are actually significant. They are the context to what the people are doing. They intentionally hide the goals and intention of other characters. From this, I cannot relate how the current obstacle will effect the goals and intentions of the characters. They can at least reveal why a character is acting one way, and make the story more engaging for the viewers.
