The Japanese web novel series ‘Log Horizon,’ written by Mamare Touno and illustrated by Kazuhiro Hara, has spawned an ever-growing franchise that includes multiple manga series, a light novel series, and a top-rated TV anime series. It first premiered on October 5, 2013. With its multitude of characters, complex storylines, and crisp animation, ‘Log Horizon’ is a prime example of Isekai anime. Here is everything you need to know about the show’s upcoming episode, which marks the anime’s return for a third season.

Log Horizon Season 3 Episode 1 Spoilers
The story revolves around a group of gamers who one day find themselves inside ‘Elder Tale,’ the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) they all play, as their in-game avatars. They soon realize that they are trapped within the game along with hundreds of thousands of other players from all over the world. If players, also known as adventurers, die in this world, they are resurrected.
On the other hand, when the non-playable characters (NPCs), also known as the People of the Earth, die, it’s permanent. The series protagonist is Shiroe, a reclusive engineering student who had been playing ‘Elder Tale’ for eight years before he is transported into the game (an event that later comes to be known as “the apocalypse”). A master strategist, he goes to form the eponymous guild and earns both respect and notoriety under the moniker “Villain in Glasses.”
As the title suggests, ‘Log Horizon’ season 3 might focus on the deterioration and eventual dissolution of the Round Table Alliance, formed by Shiroe with Log Horizon and ten other guilds. It might also show how Shiroe plans to make it possible for players to go back and forth between the game world and the old world. Here is the trailer for ‘Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table.’
