Key Production Staff

The Log Horizon anime series is an adaptation of the light novel written by Mamare Touno, which began serialization online in 2010 before being published in print by starting in 2011. The production involved a transition in animation studios after the first season, with handling Season 1 (2013–2014) and taking over for Seasons 2 (2014–2015) and 3 (2021), primarily due to Satelight's scheduling conflicts and commitments to other projects that limited its production capacity. This shift influenced visual styles, including variations in character designs across seasons, while core creative roles like direction remained consistent to maintain narrative continuity. Shinji Ishihira directed all three seasons, bringing his experience from series such as to oversee the adaptation's focus on strategic gameplay and world-building elements from the source material. Series composition was led by Toshizo Nemoto for Seasons 1 and 2, ensuring a structured adaptation of the light novels' political and societal themes; for Season 3, Nemoto continued in this role alongside contributions to scripting. Character designs evolved with the studio change: Mariko Ito served as the designer and chief animation director for key episodes in Season 1, emphasizing detailed MMO-inspired aesthetics. Tetsuya Kumagai took over for Season 2, with chief animation directors Akio Hirakawa and Noboru Jitsuhara handling odd and even episodes respectively to sustain visual consistency. Season 3 featured Tomochi Kosaka as character designer, supported by multiple chief animation directors including Hirofumi Morimoto for most episodes, adapting designs to reflect the story's escalating conflicts. The music, composed by across all seasons, incorporated orchestral and electronic elements to underscore the game's virtual world and tense interpersonal dynamics, drawing from his prior work on series like Naruto Shippuden.
