The anime series for season one was animated by Satelight, directed by Shinji Ishihira, and aired in Japan from October 5, 2013 to March 22, 2014, consisting of 25 episodes. The second season of the series, titled Log Horizon 2, was animated by Studio Deen, Shinji Ishihira reprised his role as the director of the series, and aired in Japan from October 4, 2014 to March 28, 2015, consisting of 25 episodes. The third season of the series, titled Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table, was originally planned to premiere in October 2020, but was delayed due to Winter 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Studio Deen returned to animate the third season, as well as Shinji reprising his role as the director again, and it aired its third season as scheduled in Japan from January 13, 2021 to March 31, 2021, but only consisting of 12 episodes.

Dubbing History[]
Both seasons of Log Horizon were licensed by Sentai Filmworks for digital and home video release. In October 2014, Sentai announced the dub cast for the series, which was included in the DVD & Blu-Ray of the first season, which was released in the United States on November 25, 2014. They released the second season on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 31, 2016.
Funimation acquired the streaming rights of the series for the third season after Sentai Filmworks lost their rights to it. Though much of the cast from the previous seasons reprised their roles, some were recasted due to the dub being recorded in Dallas rather than Houston at the time. They premiered the dub on their streaming service on February 24, 2021.
