"Any kind of life can go wrong, get sick, or suffer. Life ages, decays, and eventually dies. Disliking that fact because it's painful is no different than disliking life itself."

If you're waiting for a show full of action and graphic animation, I don't think this work is ideal for you. It is not a show made to enjoy the fight, it even creates situations where a more aggressive attitude is needed bringing us an action, but its focus is to show you the development of the world and how our protagonist will solve the recurring problems.

Story: If you like a fantasy with a lot of emotion and an accelerated development of the universe, this show may not be for you, as it is the exact opposite of genre works. The world of Log Horizon is created from the isekai base, only in a more realistic way in terms of social rules. It has a focus on world-building, economics, politics, and situations where strategy is involved. This show even has its moments of fights, but they are brief without much screen duration. Its strength is in scenes where a bureaucratic and strategic conclusion is needed, having an impact on how the show business will develop.

Art: The animation style done in this work is weak without high animation, keeping it at a medium/low quality. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, he doesn't have a focus on action like other isekai, so this is no longer a quality and becomes just an extra detail.

Soundtrack: The opening of this show is very good, particularly I liked it a lot. The style of the song "DATABASE" - Man With A Mission - does not fit in with the theme of the work, which has a calmer and more peaceful vibe, while the music is Heavy Metal, this time it has a greater affection for the work. Ending is the opposite of its opening, with a beautiful song, which made me like it even more. Other than that, I would say that the soundtrack of the work is a division of tastes, just watching to have a concrete opinion.

Characters: The characters in this work are its main flaw. With the exception of the protagonist Shiroe and some sidekicks like Lord Crusty and Minori, the rest are all characters without a story or depth, being just interaction puppets or NPC's. This for a work where there are many characters and a lot of interaction with them, which ends up not creating a charisma, which leads the viewer to not become attached or even identify with the characters.
Returning to the protagonist Shiroe. He is a charismatic and simple character, he is not a genius or overpower, but just a character who only knows how to enjoy what is in his hands. Don't expect a perfect being, he also makes mistakes and has some very annoying flaws, but without a doubt he is one of the best characters I've ever seen in development, who makes the world go round and not the world revolves around him.

Conclusion: The show is great for those who like well-built worlds with the base focused mainly on political and economic events. It's an idea designed for you to enjoy your world as a whole, seeing it being built and changed by the actions of our charismatic and kind protagonist - Our Villain in Glasses -.


obs: If you have writing problems, I apologize, I will try to improve in the future. Thanks for reading!!!
