COMMENTS FOR LOG HORIZON

Frying-_-Pan says:

Log Horizon is what Overlord II tried to be.

If you are interested in the world building aspect of the isekai genre, both might be a good pick for you. Unlike SAO, both Log Horizon and Overlord II focus on the protagonist's interaction with their new video game turned reality environments. In Log Horizon, there is no romance, instead, you can enjoy the politics behind survival in an unknown virtual world. In my opinion, Log Horizon is fa better than the latter, but try your hand at both and see which one you like best!

COMMENTS FOR SWORD ART ONLINE: ALICIZATION - WAR OF UNDERWORLD

AgentTBone says:

Both of these seasons are the weakest season of absolutely great shows... if you enjoy those shows and the characters of those shows.
Basically, both of these seasons are "world building" seasons. They both ditch the main cast, nearly entirely, in favor of establishing a new group of people that are present in the world. In Overlord II, you get insight into the lives of the people on the other side of the battles against our main characters. In SAO: WOU, Kirito, the main character, is in a coma and an all new cast has the take over. The "new" cast that takes over the reins of each show are great, but there is always a lingering presence of the "better" cast that watchers of the show would rather be watching.

COMMENTS FOR KONOSUBA: GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD!

Scath-kun says:

= both are great examples of the Isekai genre

+ in both cases, a fair chunk of the MC has a fair chunk of troubles come from his allies (more exaggerated in KonoSuba than Overlord)

!(YMMV) it can be argued they both have a comedic tone (Overlord is more of action than a comedy though)
