# Where to Watch Log Horizon

**Log Horizon streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Of all the trapped-in-a-game anime, this is the one for people who love systems — less about escaping the world, more about the fascinating work of actually building a society inside it.**

## Synopsis

When the fantasy MMO Elder Tales receives its twelfth expansion, thirty thousand players find themselves inside it — real hunger, real pain, real politics, and no logout button. Shiroe, a veteran strategist whose social skills never matched his game knowledge, teams up with his old friend Naotsugu and the deadly assassin Akatsuki to make sense of the new reality. The twist that separates Log Horizon from its genre-mates: dying isn't the scariest part. The real story is what happens after survival is solved — food that tastes like cardboard, NPCs who turn out to be people, and a lawless player city that someone has to civilize. Shiroe, reluctantly, starts scheming.

- **[Overlord](https://hozuna.com/anime/overlord)** — Overlord flips the premise: what if the player stuck in the game was the final boss? Same MMO-logic fascination, delightfully villainous execution.
- **[Shangri-La Frontier](https://hozuna.com/anime/shangri-la-frontier)** — Shangri-La Frontier drops the 'trapped' part entirely and celebrates games as games — a pro-gamer tearing through a broken MMO with pure mechanical joy.

It streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu.

### How many episodes is Log Horizon season 1?

25 episodes, with a second season following.

### How is Log Horizon different from Sword Art Online?
