Some people speculate of 4 seasons needed to make the whole thing. Considering 2 Vol may be covered per season. Then yeah it makes sense.

Lol gotta love Toori feeling Horizon's ass even in that moment and the "huh?" at the end.

This show is really good definitely top 2 in my list of this season.

Alright my main question here is.
Why do we have to wait for summer to watch 2nd season this is happening with more anime recently why not make 24 or 26 seasons like they used to?
It just doesn't make any sense to stop in the middle of the good parts..


Production cost. It's not about they don't want to make it 24 episodes, it's more about they won't gamble on it. Most animation companies that makes 12-13 episodes is just playing it safe, because those airing rights and production cost is way more expensive than it used to be.

Basically, they're waiting for DVD/BD Sales so they won't have "budget problems" in the next season.

Same thing that's happening to Fate/Zero. You don't want to see a "low budget" animation right? So just be patient.
That's exactly the thing and as the economy is now, one can only assume drastic measures are being taken. There is a loss in consumerism of anime. Hence the explanation of why they do that.
So production costs are going up and consumption is going down are they trying to stop the Anime industry?
To me it seems like they are trying to decrease the number of Anime coming out and like they are trying to prevent that it attracts a large crowd.
Isihara's laws are a example of the last one.
And they seem to be effective.

Then there is also the declining economy which isn't any better for the industry.

Prior to airing, i came into this anime expecting very little but this anime quickly tore apart any pre conceived impressions i had beforehand. Horizon is probably the only anime of the fall season that i can say with confidence exceeded my expectations massively and i cant wait for S2.

Anyway a great way to close the season, Alot of stuff went down and alot of teasing for the second season. Truly is a mark of great show, from the beginning to the very end the developments never stop.

Very good last episode,awesome way to end a very good anime,the Deadly Sin scene was the best of the episode watching Horizon break like that made me sad....but Toori is the man graving her butt :D

The last 5m were awesome Tres Espanas invading Mushi,Beisball aces destroying the city toori naked with WTF face at end.....awesome!

As a whole this Anime was awesome at first it was hard since if you didnt investigate the background story but after episode 5 until the end the epicness begins,the OST is awesome,the Characters puff amazing,MC is a perv,the animation was nice and the best of all.....the story is pretty good,complex and original.
Without a doubt i give it a 9/10 and cant wait for next season!!

I wish the whole series was as good as its beginning and ending, I absolutely loved this episode and looking forward to the next season. What's with all the baseball stuff though? Horizon and Aoi had great moments. 5/5.

I gave the show a 6/10, and would have easily awarded it a seven if it wasn't for the middle part. I hope the next season will be an improvement.

Love how Horizon is getting her emotions back, as if shes like turning back to human (but shes still a robot o.O)! Loving how Toori is stickin up for his girl. @When there were sleeping in that house, holding hands, cute <3

Toori's knight (forgot her name) NICE BOOTY!
Um, Honda (boyish one) getting a makeover, haha. She's been looking pretty not bad, kind of cute in her own way.

Kind of a 'wtf' moment, BASEBALL? lol.. I guess..

Keep in mind that all of the "Harmonic Divine States" are represented by Academic Institutions which is also their "military".

In case of Tres Espana's "Alcalá de Henares", they are famous for their "Sports".

The last few episodes do make up a bit for the confusing start but still does not deserve any score above 6/10. I hope the pacing for season 2 will be much more reasonable.

Animation was stellar. Wow... the first 1/3 of this show was soooo bad... and the 2/3rds that remained we're spectacular. The action in this show and the warfare a political aspects were pure win.

7/10... only due to the terrible beginning portion and some of the superfluous characters. I will absolutely watch the second season.

Okay so let me get this clear

First half of the series - utter shit

Second half of the series - starts getting interesting/good but rather a bit too late into the series to actually get the plot going. That is why I'm looking forward to the second season. If they remove all of the bad that was introduced in the first half of this season and keep all of the good parts of the second half (fights/plot/excellent animation) then I think the second season will do much better than the first.

That being said, I give this season a 7/10.

I'll be thoroughly disappointed if the second season won't make me give it an 8/10

P.A. ODA is actually an ally of Mikawa. And Horizon being the Princess of Mikawa means their allied to Horizone "for now" and they don't have any Armaments of Deadly Sin, because of their religion Murasai (Islam). For now, they're not an enemy.

Gin is Muneshiga's wife in real life. Since the testament Union is recreating history to gain their lost technology everything is recreated.

The first half of this anime was bad, really disappointing. But the 2nd half was actually good, much more enjoyable and with a better pace.

Overall, i give it a 6/10.

But will be looking for 2nd season, hoping it will be at least like the 2nd half of this show.

the only bad part is in the first 3 eps the first time where the anime doesn't care about the newcomers and expect them to be familiarised with the history already.

Funny that if you go back and watch those episodes again they are actually done quite well and smart as you are able to spot the little hints here and there, not to mention the pacing is great.

Apart from the start this is how it should be done. It's a basic "save the princess" type of storyline, but it was presented in a good way.

One downside is that there was a lot of characters.. I'm still not sure who's who.

Interesting first half tbh and I swear to freaking God that this series has some of the best OST I've heard. Anyways, looking forward to the 2nd half this summer and lol'd @ Tori's priceless reaction toward the end.

Shit's going down so I'll give this series a 8/10 due to its eargasmic music and interesting fight scenes.

Amazing, great ending to the first season. I shouldn't have listened to people crying about how bad the first few episodes were at the beginning of the show. Although I liked it more marathoning it like this, because time seems to go so fast on this show.
Can't wait for the second season, 9 out of 10.

I really like the anime,, the story was nice and the characters are all likable. :D Love. :D
Demo, there are still a lot of questions that need a definite answer, but sure as i've read, its a novel composed of 10 volumes and it only had 13 episodes that is why its understandable., they've summarized it too much. demo ne, im really curious about a lot of things. Knowing that it has a second season really made me happy. :D
For now, i'll give it a 9/10.. depending on the second season I might change it as 10/10 .. :D Looking forward to watching it. ;D

Oh! and Jun Fukuyama's voice. GAHHHHH! Total Love. :D

The ending of this was great, especially Horizon being attached to Toori which was really cute and heartwarming, not to mention the track that played during the big climax which could be one of my favorites overall. Can't wait for the second season.

This is underrated. I put it on hold after episode 8 or so, but I was thoroughly impressed upon resuming watching it. Great characters, story, music, and graphics. I do agree that the first 1/3 or so was pretty bad, I wasn't a fan at all. The last 2/3 was great and downright incredible in eps 12/13, which gives me a lot of hope for the next season.

Also Horizon/Toori OTP tbh. Adorable how attached to each other they are now.

The ending for this season was good, to see Toori and Horizon together was worth it, loved that he was naked at the end.

However, the season was very very rough due to the first episodes, you can't deny that, they were just horrible at storytelling.

Actually the first several episodes were shortened as much as possible as an adaption...Horizon is the "impossible to adapt" LN series anyway...What not with Kawakami and his love for writing more pages than a normal LN (normal page count for LN's range from 250 to 400ish pages, Horizon's lowest is about 700 I think? It's highest is almost 1.2k) Plus...Sunrise adapted vol 1 of the LN which is books 1A & 1B ---- 43 chapters + Prologue + Epilogue ~ they obviously skimped out on all the other side characters, and did a pretty good job on the world building.
and no i'm not an LN reader, only watched horizon twice (on my 3rd run atm) + read wikia/asked some LN readers stuff, after to get into it even more...
*edit3/removed this part of post

EDIT:this is what a horizon sized LN looks like...

normal sized LN (bottom part of pic, ignore manga on bottom right)


Also...horizon is a sequel to another of Kawakami's work (which only has a 1 ep special adapted to it...)
http://myanimelist.net/manga/33671/Owari_no_Chronicle

EDIT2: also if you are not satisfied in anything you could also read this RC post
http://randomc.net/2012/06/30/kyoukai-senjou-no-horizon-retrospective-part-1-the-premise-the-world-episodes-01-06/
It does an excellent job on helping newcomers understand the 1-6 eps of the horizon anime if you'd rather not read the monstrous LN or rewatch the 1st 6 eps. (or if you were confused from watching it recently.) Also helps in character bios + premise + world building, etc. I heavily advise you to read this post, and rewatch the series (only if you have the time though)...

tl;dr Horizon is not something you can just watch casually A LOT of thinking is needed. Otherwise it'd be...harder to appreciate the universe and characters that Kawakami has worked on. (to new comers as I see it)
To also add...if you plan to watch the 2nd season and detest large casts, you shouldn't continue, seeing as it's adding (16+? characters) ...heck one of them is a mermaid.

I was thinking it would be different, something cool like SAO, but nope, it's full of ecchi, a perverted male leader, the story is not so good either and it took a while until it got to action. But if you like to see girls with large breasts this is your thing, so you might like it...I actually disliked it, but gave it 5 coz the witch girls were cool.
