Log Horizon (2013) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

Thirty thousand players find themselves permanently transported into Elder Tale, a vast MMORPG world. The sudden transition throws ordinary lives into disarray, forcing them to confront a reality blurring the lines between code and existence. Shiroe, a seasoned player, quickly recognizes the gravity of the situation and takes on the challenge of establishing order within the virtual city of Akihabara.

He navigates complex political landscapes and forms alliances with fellow players like Naotsugu, grappling with his own re-entry into the game, and Akatsuki, a skilled warrior devoted to Shiroe's leadership. The series explores themes of community, adaptation, and the unexpected consequences of immersive technology as these individuals strive to build a sustainable society within a fantastical realm, questioning what it truly means to be human when reality itself has been rewritten.
