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
