From there, the show goes on to follow Akatsuki and Shiroe on their own plotlines, with Akatsuki dealing with a murderer somehow capable of killing within the city limits of Akihabara, when the game normally doesn’t allow combat in town, and Shiroe with organizing a full 24-man raiding party to deal with a new dungeon he suspects holds a secret to amassing the wealth of the entire Yamato server. Season 2 starts with a bang, with episode 1 revealing that both protagonists Shiroe and Akatsuki managed to die in some way, a first for both of them. The biggest criticism that one can deal Log Horizon Season 2 has less to do with the animation and more to do with the pacing of the story itself. So now that it’s all said and done, how was Season 2? Well… it wasn’t awful, and DEEN certainly did their best, for whatever that’s worth. Although most of the staff, such as the director and producers, were coming along, and the hilarious opening theme, “Database,” by Man with a Mission, was also confirmed to return, the adage of “DEEN finds a way” still left many fans, including myself concerned.
With such visual abominations as Fate/Stay Night and Pupa in the last few years, it’s no wonder that the response to Log Horizon being handed from Satelight to DEEN was met with feelings of fear that the second season of the surprise hit would be butchered by DEEN and their inability to animate even the simplest of things.
I’m not sure anyone can accuse Studio DEEN of being even a halfway decent anime studio, especially given their recent missteps.
