Where to start Log Horizon: begin with Season 1, episode 1 (2013), then Season 2 (2014) and Destruction of the Round Table (2021). This Log Horizon watch order follows the anime in story order. Season 1 (Episodes 1-25) drops Shiroe and thousands of players into the MMORPG Elder Tale as a real world, where they form the Round Table Alliance in Akiba. Season 2 (Episodes 1-25) continues that story with new regions and political fights. Destruction of the Round Table (Episodes 1-12), often called Season 3, picks up after Season 2 as the alliance comes under pressure. Release order and story order are the same. No Season 4 has been announced yet.

## Recommended first watch

Start with Season 1 (25 episodes), then Season 2 (25), then Destruction of the Round Table (12).

Release order and story order match.

There is no Season 4 yet.

## Start here

Start with Episodes 1-25 (Log Horizon).

Nothing in this order is marked optional.

## Why this order

The chronological list is story order: when the events happen, not when they aired. A season is split into episode ranges where a movie, OVA, or special sits in the middle of it. Quote that list unless Recommended first watch names a different place to start. Release order further down is the same entries sorted by air date. It is not the default order to quote. Each entry is one line: the title, then type, episodes (start-end, when the order stores a range), run (how many episodes that range covers), essential or optional, aired (YYYY-MM-DD), format (the AniList format of an episode block, when this page already knows it), and note. A field is omitted when this order has no value for it. Minute runtimes are not stored, so none are printed.
