Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon_SEASON 3 ???

Except that you don't make an anime sequel of a LN adaptation if the anime sold well, but if the LN sold far better than before the anime. In other words, what matters isn't how many reader of the novels were fan enough of the series to buy the BD of the adaptation, but how many new regular reader of the LN you get with it. Good BD sales mostly means that if the publishers ever comes to a studio to buy them a contract for a third season, the studio will most probably be interested. It doesn't make the publisher goes to a studio, since the reason they bought a first anime series to begin with was to boost their LN sales. Either it works, and you may expect a new anime with enough luck, or it doesn't, and then you can't expect anything.

In other words, don't look at the BD sales, compare the LN sales before and after the anime series.
IIRC the second anime season did not especially affect the LN sale, that remained mostly the same.
KyouHora is very addictive one you started reading it so the amount buyers isn't really dropping over time from what I've seen; however, it's also difficult to start, so rising the amount of readers is far more difficult than other LNs.

So the problems for a third season would be

-Publisher is probably not interested since the LN sale didn't rise that much with the second (except if I'm mistaken about the scale of the sale boost for KyouHora)
-Too big. You don't seem to realize how big it is. A common LN adaptation adapt 1,200 pages of shallow content, sometimes a bit more, in one cour. There is 2400 pages of complex content to adapt this time.
-Very difficult to adapt due to the sheer complexity of explanation that would bore the anime watcher if you give them, but will lose the watcher completely if you try to avoid them since this won't be understandable anymore.

smaller problems are also here with content that usually cannot go into anime except if you rate it 17+ or 18+
-There's a long sex scene in the middle of the 3rd arc that last over a huge amount of days
-There's a very gore, violent and blood/organs splatter duel between Mitotsudaira and another character near the end of the arc. It's one of the most gruesome fight I've read in a LN.


The only thing in kyouHora small enough to make a movie BTW is the ookami to tamashii side story. Even the side story kimitoasamade has almost 2k pages and could make almost a 2 cour series by itself. Yep, just the side story could be a 2 cour.


Not counting the side stories, there's enough material for 6 seasons of 2 to 3 cour each actually. If you count the side stories, then there's enough material for 7 seasons of 2 to 3 cour and one movie. Totaling with what was already made 22 cour and one movie. And it's not finished yet. And I'm talking about rushing the adaptation here. Since 3k page of complex content adapted properly ( ginga eiyuu densetsu for example) means around 100 episodes, this would actually require 600 episodes to adapt all the currently written content lol xD.

Well it's translated (it's during the 3-B which is now completely translated) so you can access that scene now (the fight I mentioned however is in 3-C so not translated yet) if you're intrigued x).

Zefyris said:
In japan, vol 20 got out last week, and volume 21 was announced recently as well for June.
As for the translation, the translator has already reached the 7th volume (3-C), and is almost finished with its prequel Owari no chronicle to boot (half way through the 13th volume, there is 14 volume). He also started the sequel City series (2 volumes fully translated, 3rd mostly translated) as well.

If you want to know what's next, you know what you have to do. : )

ZirexY said:
Does anyone know how many novels/chapters the anime covered?

Zefyris said:
Because it's thousand of years later. There are 6 main era. Forth (our world, with only Rensha Ou in two volume publishjed) Ahead (when our word start to change :Owari no chronicle series, 14 volumes, finished ), Edge (no series published yet) Genesis (Kyoukaienjou no Horizon series, still running) , Obstacle (author started in January 2015 this one, that's the Gekitotsu no Hexennacht series) , and then City (several short series of 1-3 books).

Author started to write City, then Ahead and a first FOrth series in 2 volumes, then Genesis (Horizon), and now Obstacle, so only Edge hasn't been touched yet.

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY AOI WENT NAKED THROUGH MOST OF SEASON 2?!

Zefyris said:
Err... the only series the author is doing at the same time right now are KyouHora and Obstacle, which just started (first volume is released in august 10th), and so far the author has been very regular, releasing one new arc of KyouHora each years, which means 2400-2600 pages per year lately.
To get how much this is compared to most LN series, that's about 8 normal LN volumes per year for ONE series. that's almost 2 times what a series with very frequent update like Index get in a year worth of time, and 8 times as much as slow series like biblia koshodou.

it usually takes me around 3 days for a standard LN too. Which after 3 years means 340 LN read. So that's not an obstacle :p

He started naked due to a scene that wasn't adapted in the anime, in the middle school where Masazumi teaches to younger children. HE stayed naked well... For different reasons.

SovereignSky said:


Ah, I assumed all those series were at the same time. That's a lot of content released then, just how I like it (I believe in having at least 80% of a story's points decided before making it and not winging it like most manga). But then that's another factor as to why it'll never get a S3. 8 vol for one arc means like 40 episodes (assuming it's a 300 or so page LN).....which most companies never do.

Zefyris said:
3rd arc is now completely translated in english. If you want to see why you'll never going to get a season 3, read it, you'll probably understand.

Nova12 said:
So, Season 2 is almost at it's ending, and all of the Armor of Deadly Sins, not yet gathered....this means only one thing....


SEASON 3.... hope this Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere will have a 3rd Season...

Raven1003 said:


It's been 4 years since the second season finished airing so I doubt there will be a 3rd season

Gacchan123 said:
stop waiting, its not happening, there wont be any season 3

duderus said:
I've loved this first season since the first episode aired but damn :)

Now i know there are sex scenes in the book... Oh, and people are translating it so now i must read it!

Much like with Toaru Majutsu no Index Season 3 if you wan't to find out what happens next most of us will suggest that you read the light novel.

Sitting around waiting for a 3rd season that may or may not happen just because you can't be arsed to read is a terrible excuse and i'm sorry to say but you will be waiting for a long time.

I get so many questions from my freinds on both this series and the Index series (mainly because they know my internet names) and now all i do is show them where they can read the light novel and tell them to stop waiting for the anime.

While this series and the Index series had different predicaments the do share common similarities.
Those being the following:

1. The last anime adaptation was in 2012.

2. Certain content from the light novel was not adapted to the anime so certain things aren't really explained well.

3. Both are well into the series with Index having already completed the first series with 24 volumes (only 8 having been covered in the 2 anime seasons that each lasted 24 episodes) as well as having already passed 11 volumes in its sequel "Index: New Testament" and then there is Horizon which is already past its 20th volume (only 4 having been covered in the 2 anime seasons that each lasted 13 episodes).

Based on these 3 points it seems clear that reading the light novel for both these series seems more logical as an anime adaption for index season 3 would only cover 4-6 volumes and an anime adaptation for horizon would only cover 2-3 volumes. At the end of the day instead of waiting for more seasons you should focus on reading the light novel and finding ways to support the author if you are really interested in finding out more about the story he has written.

Otherwise you will be waiting forever if you think they will be fully adapted to an anime.

My opinion it has lots of potential for a third season, but the story itself is very complicated. Even with the author working with them it would take quite a long time to put together story to make more sense and to figure out how to fit the multiple fragments that are important details for progressing story plot.

skualninja said:
Your best choice is to start reading the translated LN, there probably won't be a season 3.

Xaelath said:

LN Translation seems dead.
The Season 3 seems wont happen, or rather i would say it will never happen especially catching up the whole stories till now with that amount of chapter it probably took more than 3-5 years to adapt.
Another note
- Theres barely someone mentioning the series
- The manga is dead
- I dont hear any more news
- I cant find the latest volume and what exactly happened to latest chapter

Its a good stuff but yeah.. sadly its just dead.

Zefyris said:

You're kidding right, the translator translated 2 side story volumes of KyouHora (kimitoasamade) in the last two months. In the last 4 months alone, around 1,000 pages of content for that series have been translated.
The translation of the main series has finished the 5A and is half way through 5B, which would require around 50 (if as rushed as the second series) to 100 episodes to reach with anime.
Even if you were to get a third season of kyouhora and it was lasting around 24 episodes, you would still not reach anything more than end of 3C.

no one mention that series on anime board yes, as said plenty of time, reading the LN is the way to go.

Xaelath said:

I mean the active one.
The LN seems abit too much too handle and the progress seems slower compared the earlier years which is normal.
Also i already mentioned 3rd season isnt really possible for now unless they really going to pull it up again.
but man.
how much page on a single volume again? 200+?
I was kinda shocked to see the stuff on baka tsuki translations.

Edit : yeah thats alot of page

Zefyris said:

a single volume for the main series is 850 pages in average. In mid May he finished translating 5A, and started 5B. 5B is 1k page long, he translated more than half of it, then translated 2 volumes of the kimiotoasamade which have around 250 pages each IIRC. That's why around 1k pages those last four (actually closer of 3 and half) months. That's actually pretty crazy. Well it's very like that translator, but still, it's crazy. That translator doesn't have only this series to translate so depending of new releases for his up to date series, Kyouhora's translation slows down or accelerate, but it still remains at a very good pace.

BTW the whole series right now weights around 10 kg.

Xaelath said:

Sorry for the misleading opinion
Kudos to translator.
Imo Kyoukai indeed one of the best expanding universe theme like To Aru Series which why i am stlil rooting for it.
I never realised 1 main series took that much of a page. I guess its normal for one to be finished for 1 year each release.

10kg weight though. Kinda insane no matter what you see it.
