Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

"Complex" is one of the words you could say to describe 'Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere'.

I found my self going back in an episode to try and understand what exactly was going the freak on. This adventure was full of "wait what's?" and "hold on what did he/she say's?" And that kinda hurt the enjoyment of it all.

Story - 9
The story was very well done from my point of view. The complexity of it all just astounded me. Although it needed more episodes in my opinion so that it could explain everything a little more clearly and slowly. Maybe I'm just a simpleton who ... doesn't catch on fast enough. But it did made it interesting and fast-paced. You have all of these multiple countries and they consider how one decision will affect everybody else. They have alot of characters. And couple of different storylines rolled up into one. Some of the characters even look the same(this is what really got me confused). But I liked how all of the storylines seemed to tie together. It was all new and nothing seemed cliched. They way they attack and the way they do things all seemed new to me. Which I liked.

Art - 10
I thought the art looked good. Everything look beautiful and crisp. The backgrounds were nice and all the characters looked really good.

Sound - 8
The OP was good and I enjoyed it. It was catchy and had a nice beat to it. The ED was nothing speacial but was still good. The backgroud music to me was non-exsistent. I never once noticed it. So I thought that it kinda lacked in that department. Although 'Horizon's' singing made my day. I love every bit of that song.

Characters - 8
These were new types of characters to me. And trust that doesn't happen to often. After seeing plenty of anime you kinda feel that you'll never meet a character that doesn't remind you of another. And I can honestly say Aoi Tori (the hero of our story) reminds me of no one. He's just a likeable, perverted, boob groping, hilarious, naked dancing, erotic game playing boy that makes you smile everytime you see him. But when you mention 'Horizon' he seems to beome serious without even changing that goofy smile on his face that I love so much. 'Horizon' (the heroine of our story) is a very quiet person. She's not shy or anything she just doen't talk much. Mainly because of the fact that......... lets just say, she's a 'robot' but at the same time she not, for the sake of our storyline. All of the other characters are fun and entertaining. There is no character in this anime that I could say I dislike.

Enjoyment - 8
I enjoyed 'Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere' quie a bit. And feel a stong urge to rewatch it. It probably should have gotten a 9 or 10 but I was confused at so many parts that I couldn't. If it had been a 26 episode season I think this would have been a much better anime.

But hay, thats just me. Watch it for yourself, I promise you'll enjoy.

Basically, the first episode of the anime seemly using the more comically as the plot seemly focus on more likely a civil war of the further future of the world. (Much likely focus on the life of the student life instead of the war itself.)

Artwork and the characters were amazing nevertheless, with much style and with fan service, this made the anime articular on certain audience which I found it more common if the bust were drawn some how big on certain characters.

Will be looking forward further about the further episodes as the plot is just the beginning of the anime. Further plot of ... the story will hopefully not the disappointing.Can't judge just the entire show just watching one episode only.

Kyoukai Seijou no Horizon, where the anime is based on the past which is very futuristic (wat). If I was to put this whole anime in one word, it'd probably be 'unique'.

Story: 7/10

One main point that this anime has is originality and its uniqueness. Religious figures, sword-fighting, magic and mechs. Putting all of those together can be a hard task, but I'd say Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon passed the test. This anime also has romance and ecchi in it, so if you don't like that, then this anime is not for you. The romance side is very very light hearted, mostly focusing on Horizon and Tori. ... Though, there are some other relationships that build throughout the anime. There wasn't a lot of ecchi in the anime, but most of the ecchi comes from the superhuman-sized boobs from Kimi. I also forgot the comedy side of this, which is mostly focused on sexual jokes like misunderstanding sex and Tori's perverted nature.

Art: 10/10

The art is VERY nice, even for an anime released 4 years ago. The animation is very smooth and damn the colors are very nice. Great job, whoever drew the anime.

Sound: 8/10

I would say that the OST made the anime better, with its fitting OST in each scene. I always skip over OP and ED, but I listened to the OP and ED and I wish I stayed through listening to it.

Character: 8/10

I'll just focus on all the characters. They fit their roles as a side/main character. My favorite characters in the anime would be Gin Tachibana and Aoi Tori. Tachibana and her expression in her response to a very funny scene and Tori, being probably the funniest character in this anime. He's a massive pervert who indulges in H-games and boobs. All the characters are very tolerable and none of them are annoying, and they're all unique in their own way.

Enjoyment: 8/10

Though I was bored most of the time I was watching the anime, I still did enjoy it, mainly because of how unique it was. Oh, did I forget to mention that this anime is unique? Also, this anime has some mild violence in it, so if you aren't tolerable to violence, then you might not like this anime.

Overall: 7/10

If you're looking for something new to you, then this anime might just fit. Would I re-watch this anime? I highly doubt it. Though, this anime is asking for a season 3 as the anime hasn't fulfilled the story.

;)

If you aren’t in love with this series three minutes in, quit.

This review is based solely on the first episode. I got to the end of it and was like, “What… That’s all!?!?” This show reminds me of the many people I have met who can talk for hours and say absolutely nothing.

The episode consists of long, relatively nonsensical bits of exposition and an extended fight scene (really, it’s most of the episode). That’s it. What’s more, the fight is pretty boring.

Other people writing about this have said that the show is full of the usual ... anime crap. They’re right. I don’t mind the repetition if it’s fun, but this show is a complete waste of time. I skipped over the singing girl. I skipped most of the exposition at the end. I really didn’t find anything worth watching. (The girls with basketballs on their chests are not as garish as some people are saying, but that doesn’t really help.)

The main character seems a little different from the average anime pervert, so there is one tiny ray of hope for the series’ future. I’m not going to watch more just for that.

SCORE: 5/10

I gave this anime a shot because the synopsis seemed like it would be right up my alley. However, even as I write this review I have no idea what I watched, or why I continued watching it all the way through. So what makes this anime so hard to understand?

1. MC - The male Main Character is weird through and through. In fact, he is stark naked for most of the series. Why did he remove his clothes? Why did he not put them back on for most of the season? These are questions that are beyond me.

2. Side Characters - Most of ... them are ridiculous, and some of them in a funny and entertaining way. There's a guy who has his eyes on this baseball hat, a slime, and a Indian who fights using curry. Best part of the show by far was when these silly side characters got screen time.

3. World Building - The various countries (political units would be better term I guess) seem to be engaged in trying to reproduce events from Earths history, and will go to great lengths to make things happen in the series exactly as things happened in the historical records. Why do they do this? I never caught that explanation if it was revealed, and I tried to keep on watching hoping it will all make sense in the end. I did not make sense in the end.

4. Story - You know how some anime take so long to reveal what the actual story is about and then basically not deliver on any of the really cool ideas that the story seems to be leading to? Thats what we have here. The main story is about recovering parts of Horizons (main female lead) emotions which were removed from her to help make a bunch of OP weapons by recovering those weapons and giving them to Horizon. I have forgotten why they are doing this, but it does not matter because the anime never comes close to depicting the characters gathering enough weapons/emotions to to even bother caring what the end goal is.

The anime is the equivalent of building 1/2 of a bridge. It doesn't matter how big it is or where you put it, it will never lead you anywhere you want to go, and when you do a u-turn and return to the shore you wonder why you even tried crossing half a bridge in the first place. And if you think the second cour/season will be the other half, think again. It doesn't go anywhere.

TL;DR: This anime is a disappointment, and worse its one which seems to have promise so that at all the points you should give up and drop it it almost begs you to keep watching. I warn you to stay away from this anime, and the second season is more of a let down than this one is.

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon is one of those anime that have so much potential that it is sad to give it an eight but because of its flaw, that rating become justify. If you're looking for an anime that make sense, don't expect this to be one of them. However, if you just want an anime with a lot of action, a lot of boob, and a lot of animation goodness, then this anime is right for you. Its art is wonderfully drawn with each character being unique in their own way. The fight scene is awesome and doesn't get repetitive like some other anime. ... The sound is fill with rich song that make it feel like an RPG game. Its characterization isn't great but since there are a lot of unique character there not much the author can do about it. It have everything from witch to machine to gun to magic to sword fight to I don't know how much more I can list but one thing that describe it is that it have a lot of creativity.

The flaw though is that its badly directed and the storyline get so confusing you don't know what going on, even if you watch it again. It is at a point where you really have to goggle the title to know what the storyline is. It even have its own little key term and rule that in a lot of way doesn't make sense as you watched it. In some sense, it is like watching Family Guys where it is so awesome it doesn't make sense whatsoever.

But, once you read up on the world of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, you will start to enjoy it more, not for its storyline but for everything else about it because everything else is too awesome to miss out on.

"The anime of comprehension and interpretation." - Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon ( Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere ). One of the big talks back in 2011 when I, an individual who wasn't really into anime back in those days even knew about its existence.

To like this anime you must initially attempt to understand what it's trying to depict. First of all, you must remember everything it says from the starting point ( beginning ) regardless of how boring it is as it later on becomes a fundamental piece of the plot. Second of all, you must try your best to confine a strict viewpoint ... as that does nothing more but decrease the entertainment of the show and your patience. And lastly, you must have a decent amount of patience as the build-up is very slow in contrast to numerous other similar anime.

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere in summary is an anime about an academy trying to take back a girl so-called “Horizon Ariadust” as she’s the protagonist’s lover(?) and just because. But due to her being a part of a powerful weapon, other big men try to prevent Horizon Ariadust from falling into the hands of the academy. Sounds like a simple story, doesn’t it? But there’s actually more to it.

The protagonist, Aoi Toori barely has any screen time. Making him not really a protagonist. He’s also a pervert, a dumbass, and is pretty much useless. Making him not seem like a protagonist. But what defines a protagonist? “The leading character or one of the major characters in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text”? When you hear the word protagonist, you usually think of a person who stands out the most. The person who’ll be the key to many doors of possibilities. If that’s the case, then I don’t think Aoi Toori fell out of the category. He is indeed the “key” of the story as despite the insignificant screen time he has. He and only he alone is the one and only key to allow the story to progress. This anime is unique, you see. One of its remarkable features is how the anime itself deals with protagonists. Protagonists don't have to stay on screen forever. It’s not a slice of life where you follow along the story of a protagonist from the start to the end. Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon exploits the fact that protagonists ain’t need to come on screen everytime. Yes of course they have to appear a lot of times as they are the protagonist but let me remind you that Aoi Toori did indeed appear quite a lot of times. Even more than the supporting characters. Another reminder is the fact that there are actually 3 protagonists. Aoi Toori, Ariadust and Honda. If you’re putting the blame on Aoi Toori, then I think you should put more blame to Ariadust as she barely has any screen time despite being a protagonist. But still, like I said before, regardless of the screen time, she is still one of the keys in order for the story to progress as she is one of the protagonists.

Let’s go back to Aoi Toori a little bit. There’s actually a reason why he acts like a fucking simp. This is pure speculation, but I think that it’s quite natural for a normal person to become autistic after having the biggest meltdowns of their life ( no offense ). There are backstories behind stuff which shows the reason why he acts like a retard and why his friends are supporting him. Pretty deep, actually. I’ll leave the “protagonist uniqueness” here as I’m writing too much now.

The art style and quality isn't so bad judging from the reputation of Sunrise. A studio that makes old shits. The character designs are also.. Uh.. yes. Aoi Toori reminds me of an alternative version of “what if Gilgamesh looks like a perverted simp” and most girls are just.. Bust overdrive like most of the modern hentai. It’s all in all okay but I feel like if ufotable does this it would probably convey things better as animation and quality CAN carry a story.

Not really much to talk about the sounds. They’re good. Especially Ariadust’s hums. If this anime portrayed in a more darker way then I think that it could’ve been even better.

Overall it was a wild ride. I went up and down many times with many thoughts and attempts of quitting the anime. However, it ended well and I acknowledge it for what it is. So for that reason I think it deserves a 10/10.

Wouldn’t say this anime is for everybody. Just try it out I guess. If you don’t like it then you can drop it.

3/10
Although I totally get why other people enjoyed this show, I had difficulty getting through any of it. And yes, that includes "After the first 4 episodes", because I'm an insane completionist who sometimes forgets to sleep.

Story: 2/10
I guess my hopes were brought up by the abundance of other reviews saying that you just have to wait it out, and get past the exposition. Well, I'm here to tell you the exposition never ends. Never.
Honestly, the show feels like a preteen's idea of politics. Entire nations are basically given away at the drop of a hat, with no attention payed to the political ... or societal ramifications, nothing close to farming is ever shown, and large armies are decimated with no justification for why they HAD large armies in the first place. Now normally, this wouldn't matter, but this show has the annoying habit of pretending its politics matter more than they do. Yes, the world surrounding the show is incredibly detailed, but due to a fundamental failure in storytelling, it is forced through exposition that nobody living in the world would ever need to give.

Art: 8/10
The writers of this show seem like they've never heard the adage "Show, don't tell", and most of the admittedly amazing art staff seemed like they were relegated to either fanservice or "make it look pretty". Now, don't get me wrong. They did indeed make it look pretty, and I can't take that away from them, but great visuals should help convey the story, not the MC's constant (and, btw, completely intentional) sexual assaults.

Sound: 7/10
Not much to say. Stuff lined up well, but even though the songs were decent, it was nothing memorable, and I don't think I could pick any of their songs out of a lineup. Constant exposition was a pain to listen to.

Character: 4/10
There are individual characters that make me want to say "10/10, almost perfect", but that's hardly representative of the vast majority of the character pool. The characters who are given backstories, individually, range from "Huh, that's interesting" to the "WHAT THE FUZZNUGGET IS WRONG WITH YOU?". Now, admittedly, a lot of these "WTFIWWY?" could be considered by others as "deep" or "meaningful", but I still don't see it. Many of the... less savory actions taken by various characters, especially the MC, range from assault to sexual assault to child(?) molestation. Politics only seem to matter when they're convenient, and halfway through, the MC loses their one motivation out of, as far as I can tell, boredom, which sums up my attitude towards the show perfectly.

Enjoyment: 2/10
Just off the bat, I don't think I'm being elitist when I say I didn't enjoy this. I was able to enjoy SAO, even though it's just a self-insert power fantasy. I was able to enjoy Fairy Tail, even though it was pretty much directionless. Hell, I enjoyed Hanamaru Kindergarden purely for the cuteness. However, this show gave me none of my levels of enjoyment.

1. "Turn your brain off" enjoyment. Think SAO
Doesn't apply. Too much exposition

2. "Wow, that's really pretty!/AWW" Think Your Name or (Loli show here)
Nope. Art's good, but not that good.

3. "Character Growth" enjoyment. Think DBZ or Fairy Tail
Nope. Characters literally drop their motivations halfway through, and the rest don't grow at all.

4. "Intricate Worldbuilding" enjoyment. Think Shinsekai Yori
Nope. No farmers/farms/farming is ever shown. Ever. Also, the characters don't take their world seriously, so why should I?

5. "ROMANCE" enjoyment. Ranges anywhere from "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun" to "Golden Time" to "Erased"
Once again, never given a reason to care, and it doesn't focus on their pre-accident relationship enough for me to care about them getting together.

6. Jojo's. Think "Jojo's"
It's not Jojo's.


So yeah, overall, didn't like it.

My first review. So unlike the professional reviewers, I'm going to make this as short and simple as I can.

Those who rate this show very low are those who do not understand the story and find it confusing. This is easy to be proved by looking at all the reviews. You'll notice that reviewers who rated it low have only watched less than 5 episodes of the show. My guess is they dropped halfway. And those who rate it as high as 8 or above have watched at least 10 episodes of the show.

For me, I AM confused too for the first run. But after ... re-watching the show, the story suddenly seems very natural and understandable.

In short, you'll have to understand the story well in order to really enjoy the show. If you really find it hard to understand, you can re-watch it one more time like I did, or simply proceed to watching other shows. Simple and clean. Up until this point, if you find it hard to believe my words. You can skip the rest of the review.

If you are still reading, I take it that you believe my words and want to know more about the show.

Story - How would you summarize Finding Nemo? A daddy fish searches and rescues its kidnapped baby fish? No doubt that I have skipped so many interesting events that happened on the way. Same goes to Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. Many people failed to realize that the story is as simple as "a hero wants to rescue his kidnapped lover", and they even dropped halfway. And just like Finding Nemo, there are many things that happen on the way which I won't disclose here. I give it an 8/10.

Art - No doubt that everyone was attracted by its amazing artworks and that's why you are reading my review now. ;] I give it a 9/10.

Sound - Not really paying much attention on the background musics, but I do enjoy the ending theme very much. I give it a 7/10.

Character - Nothing really amazing about the main character, but I do like his determination to love a girl at the cost of making himself the enemy of the world. I like the fact that there are a vast interesting characters in the show. I give it a 9/10.

Enjoyment - A mixture of many different characters and their distinct ways of fighting can be very confusing for many people. But that is what I like about it - Variations. I give it a 8/10.

Overall - 8/10.

Let me start by saying I was told this was pure fanservice, but apparently I was mislead to a degree. I watched this entire thing (in a low quality unfortunately) but still finished it in half a week. There were some crazy moments in this.

Story: I was kind of lost in the beginning since they kind of just throw you into the world, not explaining things until they happen. So you won't really understand what happens unless you check a wiki or wait until about halfway through the season.

Art: Had a very high tech look and seemed very pristine for lack of ... a better word. Everything just seemed to be like a normal anime, but the threw in some nice tricks with 3D and other small stuff.

Sound: I absolutely loved the music and voices in this. The voices matched the characters absolutely perfectly and the music made everything seem amplified, from the intro to the battle scenes.

Character: Everyone is unique in this. Nobody looks the same and everyone has something that piques your interest. The main and secondary characters all interact in a perfect manner and are well built themselves, having everyone and everything done make sense.

Enjoyment: There were plenty of moments in this show when I had to either pause it or go back or just simply sit up when something happened. I would have many moments in just the first episode where I was just dead from what happened, and these moments continued in the rest of the season.

Overall: The lower parts are easier to ignore when I stack them against the good parts, so they can be kind of shoved aside. Everything important was easy to remember and everything kind of stuck in your head, whether it was a character or a crazy scene.

This anime was just about perfect. They handled religion and politics in a great manner while keeping it all in a more simple manner so they could explain it. There was little that was actually detestable in this, making it one that would just be perfect to share with some friends

Humanity ascended to the heavens, but then fell again so to get back to the heavens they decided to recreate history with flying airships and only people under 18 able to run the governments, a they all have techno-magic powers and super mecha weapons and there is an AI based on a girl who was run over by a carriage, plus ghosts too for some reason and the MC want's to boink the AI and everyone wants him to do it so they can have a big party.

That's the plot so far.

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon is an anime that i'm still watching despite having ... a plot that is silly and explanations that are based on expositions. Here's a reason why i'm still watching this:

http://imgur.com/Wobvj

Yeah, i'm watching this for that sensei.

The story is adapted from a light novel by Minoru Kawakami, and even that made no sense.

But to be fair, this anime had some of the most beautiful scenery and art for this season......until the female characters came along. Seriously, the character design is pitiful. Half the girls look like they have soccer balls on their chest. It doesn't remotely look like breasts.

Speaking of character, the MC is a smug guy played none other than Jun Fukuyama. Imagine every other FukuJun character in a fraternity house together. Oh, and the star of the show is Minori Chihara as P-01s, which sounds like what you expect (Penis). And this is a very all-star cast, with too many characters and too many a-list seiyuus that it might surpass Dragonaut and Star Driver combined. And even after episode 3, you still don't know half of these characters, except for Ryoko Shiraishi's yummy sensei some of the male characters since it's easy to recognize them based on their seiyuus like Takehito Koyasu (the tall one), Daisuke Ono (the one with the cap), Minoru Shiraishi (the fat one)and Tomokazu Sugita (the blonde one). Unlike Majikoi which introduces the all-star characters pretty well, Majikoi does it badly and i doubt you'd even remember all of their named by the 12th episode.

Sound is okay. Minori Chihara usually starts the show with her singing, and it's pretty nice to listen to. But there's nothing else i can say since the final product of the score hasn't been done yet. But the OP is okay and the ED is nothing to talk about.

Overall, this is a decent anime i'll keep on watching despite the nonsensical plot and the overload of characters. I'll keep watching it for the art and DAT SENSEI!

If you were given the 2 choices whether its to rebel and take on the entire world or surrender and remain powerless? What would you do? In any case scenario you must consider the advantages and disadvantages to both sides before coming to a conclusion. Well if you a person who likes a rational discussion and historical drama then this is for you. T
This particular anime starts of with a set up of the main plot. Of course i was confusion as hell, and i watching each episode twice get the gist of the idea but of course i was very unique. This piece is ... full of arguments within countries in the world of politics. All for one cause. "World Domination!" That's the conclusion I come to after watching this piece.

This is a spectacular anime, although it was rather confusion at first. The first 4-5 episode were very heavy handed, lots of information of history bestowed upon the viewers. It is a challenge to get because the writer didn't use history of what we know of but f their own made up ones. Of course i can support that theory because even after watching this season 1 introduction, all they said is to recreate history from a testament and nothing more.

I really like the artwork and the actions scene because personally I like mecha and fighting scene that convoluted technical aspects. I find it very fascinating and intriguing. The artist also added some religious aspect to their powers as well. Instead of using spell stigmas or circles they used the arc from shinto shrine. This aspect i find very unique.
Character wise, all very very beautifully drawn, and portrait the suitable personality for each one except that the artist have this tenancy to over exaggerate some female character's chest areas. The building ranges from historical building you may see in the edo period with some technical design.
I especially like the design of the water-like aurora coating the bottom of each ship. Instead of a cloud effect or nothing, this water work really make the ship appear of its own.

To be honest, if you're the person who doesn't like abstract idea, politics or history then good luck trying to get through. It was a real challenge to grasp the plot of the anime. Even though it was an anime unlike the others, i actually really enjoyed it right up to the extra ending scene! Very beautifully done and very much looking forward to SEASON 2!

~Later

Brilliant show, with decent plot and many interesting characters. This is show that you definitely need to watch, its hard to actually say what is so intriguing, so you definitely need to watch yourselves to conduct your own opinion. You will not regret spending time to this show!

This is my first review, so yeah... please go easy one me :)
Basically, i rated 9, but here, i'm rating it a 10 cos that's its true worth to me. Aniime's true worth in my view is the enjoyment you get from it. my enjoyment is 10. so my overall is 10.
Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon is a rare gem, having a rich story, great sound and character, and generic yet aesthetically pleasing art. it's hard to describe this show, as there are 2 types of fans watching this show.
1st type: Has read Owari no Chronicle/checked Kyoukaisenjou wikias for Owari no chronicle's background/ looked past the ... really detailed plot
2nd type: Jumped straight into the story

As a person who was a former 2nd type, i can understand why some of you rated it below 8. Well, most of the reasons would be: "The plot is too hard to understand!" or even as insulting as "There is NO PLOT"
I can't tell you how wrong you are.
I won't spoil Owari no Chronicle for all of you though. I suggest you read wikias cos there aren't any english scanlations for the novel (not LN, japanese NOVEL)

Okay.
Story 10/10
For story i rated i wanted to rate it 9.5, but i rated it a 10 anyway.
Reasons: The story is much more intricate than the aforementioned little bits of pieces within the story. It has so much depth, that not only is it unique, ALL the information required for Kyoukai is practically in Owari no chronicle. You should check out how many pages owari no chronicle has. It's too difficult to explain here, so i suggest you go to a wikia instead ;)

Art 9/10
I'm no artist, but when i see good art, i say it's good art. No matter how generic it is, it still looks well polished, and futuristic, and even detailed to the last program/hack they make! It's so damn cool, the concept of the art itself is already beyond cool!

Sound 10/10
ahahaha. We've finally reached this part :) Kyoukaisenjou's third main selling point is this, apart from the action and the romance, story taking 4th place. You should listen to Kimi's Tooshi douka, it's seriously damn awesome. Better still, Horizon's Tooshi Douka can shake you and make you teary! That's the strength level of Kyoukaisenjou music :)

Character 7/10
Yep. i put 7. Character wasn't that built upon in this series. well it did get further described in the second, so let's just put a 7 for now :)

Enjoyment 10/10
Best ACTION/ADVENTURE/ROMANCE/ COMEDY EVER SEEN HECK YEAH! Well, maybe not. SAO doesn't even compare to this (sorry SAO fans). The confession was epic at the end of the series, how people believe in him. the unwavering trust towards Toori is even more epic. And, well the comedy was extremely funny (to me, might be crude to you). I wasn't really paying attention to the oppai cos however eye catching they were, they were just usele-----well i can't lie can i. yeah i was paying attention to the oppai, but the conversations, story, and how Toori is such a good leader no matter how useless he is, makes me give this kind of score.

Conclusion:
Yes, i'm naive to say that it deserves a 10, but give it a chance and look past its negatives! you'll see a deeper story inside . All you 7 or below raters, you're just scratching the surface, go deeper, feel deeper, reach deeper, and you'll find a treasure that's amazingly rare

An amusing distraction – this is what Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon was for me. Ironically I would watch the anime again, but definitely not for the storyline – cause it was confusing as hell in the beginning. The character development is also shallow and the progression of the anime in context to time span and story location is limited. But still it was an amusing anime, if you like occasional breast fondling and big breasted female characters. If you are willing to put aside the discombobulated storyline and confusing characters, Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon is an amusing distraction provided by a weird eroge-loving protagonist and the busty ... females that make up the rest of the story. I would watch it again.

It is pretty good anime with good charector design and sound tracks. Also the background story makes it pretty good anime to watch. Initially anime start with slow plot means we need 1st four episode to understand what is going on in anime. Also the some anime charectors have good powers and some pretty lame power. But this anime look fighting type anime but it more focuses on the discussions and concepts definde by the charectors and there debates.
The ... most amusing charector is the President Aoi because of his gesture and smiling face. But I first thaught he have more power in anime but he just lame joker who is very kind and think of everyone thats make hime popular amongs girls and his friends. Also each charector in story quiet interesting.

The story concept of the countries operates like school council system and different school fight for that purpose makes it quit good plot.

Horizon is an ambivalent work.

Pro:

- interesting Cast with pretty weird, unique Characters ( Ninja, Half-Dragon, Lesbian Witches and so forth )
- interesting Story
- interesting Weapons, Skills and therefore interesting Battles
- detailed Art and Animation

Contra:
...
- Story is relatively hard to understand

I really like Horizon for its outstanding Characters and Art. But without knowing the Light Novel, it is kind of difficult to follow the Story. The Story is very complex. The Battles are crazy and cool. Overall a very enjoyable anime. I hope that the second season explains the story a bit better. That the female Characters are normally well-built, must not be mentioned particularly.

Horizon in the middle of nowhere is a really entertaining show to watch. But the story is confusing for sure. I think it comes from the overly complex premise, the abundance of fancy terminology and the sheer number of ideas crammed into the story when it comes to powers and technology.
All these concepts are not explained very clearly. But I Personally think that you can kind of understand what is going on if you follow the flow of the action.
I really like the characters of this show. The way they interact with each other is pleasant. There are a lot of characters and one ... could say that they are rather one dimensional but I think they have sufficient characterization to feel genuine and unique (for the most part). Even though they are numerous, we see enough interactions between these characters to help solidify their personality and presence. They have their own stories and it is shown quite well.

I'm a bit late to getting to this show it is fairly old in terms of anime. That being said it is definitely one to watch if you are a fan of the fantasy genre. This show has a mix of high fantasy and scifi fantasy. The first few episodes run really slow as it sets up the plot from various viewpoints but after that takes off as it gets into the main thrust of the arc. The concept of the story itself is unique in the way they try to recreate history though not really as tech is too advanced.

The characters in this show ... are solid. The MC.. or i guess the one you could call the MC is well done and one of the rare unabashed pervs. The show uses this mostly... well completely for gags. He can get a bit annoying though it never gets to being too much before it pops on to the other chars. The other characters come with personalities that vary in complexity from cookie cutter tropes to those with some pretty deep story. The show doesn't spend much time on each characters back story but the VA's and the writing allow the little time they do to carry some solid weight.

The art style itself is nothing special.. grant it as mentioned initially this is a 8 yr old anime so i don't hold it against it

The sound in the show is fairly good.. the opening and closing are solid sets some of the in between is fairly meh.

Overall I think if your a fan of fantasy in general you should give this one a look. the episodes seem to be 26 mins but you can cut that down by about 7 depending on the outro.

This is really good anime, the story line quite heavy since its not like common action anime who have 1 till 3 main characters. By doing many characters of course the story quite confusing to some people since this anime want give all the characters their own story so not just focused on few characters all the times.

The art really nice and smooth, personally this is my most favorite art type in anime, i really really love it.

Some of review says this anime don't have good song like "K-*N" well its whole different genre this is action fantasy not slice of life or musical school ... band.

The characters design is unique even this anime have really a lot of characters almost every each of them don't have any similarity including the uniform (except the "armies" or "troops")

Personally I really love and really enjoy watching this anime, too bad its stopped in season 2, but i hope one day there is season 3 in the future.
