Log horizon is in no way pretty. Especially coming right after the legendary mess that is SAO, Log Horizon is visually inferior. Its animation and inconsistencies with certain characters and scenes made it look sloppy. But what was really strong about this show is how in depth the world is and how the characters in the show take advantage of the whole "in another world" situation. Log Horizon's approach to the "trapped in a video game"
I would give this anime a higher score but the romantic subplots tended to slow down the show. Although comedic scenes lightened up the mood, they felt out of place and poorly executed (also the jokes were the same it got old quickly) Basically what I'm trying to say is, the characters aren't really that interesting. Each character is very one note except for the main character, Shiroe.
Shiroe is by far the most interesting character to watch. Not knowing what exactly he'll do next and seeing everything unfold according to his plans makes Log Horizon fun and engaging.

8/10 for being an enjoyable show to watch but points lost for boring romantic subplot and flat comedy.
