The Anime Order

16 suggestions, most-recommended first

Anime like Log Horizon

335 people recommend Sword Art Online to anyone who liked Log Horizon — more than any other title. Overlord is second on 268 votes and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime third on 248. 13 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Log Horizon and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Five of the 16 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Log Horizon and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Sword Art Online follows Log Horizon, only that 335 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

5 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Sword Art Online , Overlord , That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime , The Rising of the Shield Hero , Mushoku Tensei .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
