| Well now the war is on, time to see what they are really made of. |

| That "huh" moment from Tori at the end was priceless. A nice conclusion with a satisfying way to wrap up rescuing Horizon. The cliffhanger ending has definitely made me want to pick up season 2 in the near future, but for now I think halfway is good enough. This series had a shaky and very confusing start with its massive infodumping, but I'm pleased with how it shaped up by the end. I enjoyed the mix of hilarity brought on by Tori, the interesting approach to the addicting, action packed battles, and the various political intrigues, especially that big debate towards the middle. I'm thinking either a 6 or 7/10, really depends on the conclusion I arrive at concerning how much weight I feel the beginning has on my overall enjoyment. |

| Great way to end this first season off! Also introducing the new enemy shorty was also pretty lovely done so I'm really looking forward to see what the second season will offer us but for this first season I really must say that I enjoyed watching it, it had a great way of story and character development and a sense of humor so all in all a great anime! 9/10 |
 |
| An amazing finish to my current favorite anime. The Song of Passage being sung but with full emotion this time is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. Truly, Horizon in The Middle of Nowhere is a unique work of art. |

| I honestly don't understand why it's rated so low.. I guess it's more difficult to follow what's going on but nevertheless it's awesome as hell. The "comic relieve"/fanservice with Tori often times does serve a purpose (and sometimes he's just perverted, lol... well, can you really blame him?!). The world is huuge and has so much potential! Only thing I'm not so fond of so far is Horizon herself, I just don't see what's so "special" about her.. (and I mean her personality) Oh and I forgot to mention the OST is probably the best one I've ever heard, not joking (except some classical music :P). There's so much variety in it and all of the songs sound awesome! |
| And that's it for the first season. But I still don't know what the Tres Espana is. Or the P.A ODA or the Testament Union. What are these organizations? And what are the deadly sins? And many many more questions. It's very easy to mistake this as a sequel because crucial stuffs were not explained? Or were they? I think I should have read the LN first like the 99% of the people here. |

I think I should have read the LN first like the 99% of the people here. Hmmm, how much i understood there was war long time ago in Far East which led to destruction of Japan territory. Now, years later only two cities (ships) are recognized by Testament. Testament is organization, something like Church who oversees them all and i guess they have highest authority there (I dont fully understand how did it led to all this and how do they think to recreate all but meh.) Deadly sins are weapons created with emotions of human, why did they do that and how i have no idea. But one thing is sure, they should have better focus on story and explaining things instead of way too long battles. I felt bored and i was alt tabing a lot because of battles. I see season two has great score so i guess they fixed that. |

| ^You didn't understand it properly I'm afraid. Japan territory has been "colonised" by other countries after a war (it's more complicated than that, but basically, the only territory in the world where peoples can live is japan, so all the countries have to share that ground). Tres espana is a country located in the west of the honshu isle, and it represents Spain. P A Oda is a country located around the Kansai area IIRC, and represents the Otoman empire. Every single country has in charge both the reproduction of the hostory of the country they represent, AND of a part of the Japanese history. That's why some peoples like Muneshige both have a Japanese name and another non-japanese name (spannish in Muneshige's case) that they're in charge of representing. PA Oda fpor example is both in charge of the history of the Otoman Empire and of the history of Oda nobunaga (and several of his generals, like Shibata and Niwa). Hexagone Française is mostly France+ japanese Mouri Clan. There's a country for Korea/Satomi clan, a country for China/takeda clan, a country for Russia/Uesugi clan, and so on. In each of these countries, there are japanese and non-japanese peoples, and they're free to be part of the government. Simply, technically, those countries are reigning over the japanese land they took. There are lands which are still japanese only, like Mikawa, and the city ship Musashi, but also others small lands here and there, but they basically are defenceless, since IIRC only Mikawa was allowed by treaties to have an army force among them. The testament Union (Seiren) is an organisation federating those countries leader (note : it's only comprised of the western countries afaik) and is basically supervising history recreation in the whole japan as well as "international" relationships between countries. Among the seiren members, the Pope is the most influential member. Among different things, it holds the power of gathering the army of every single country in time of need, too. That's basically what they did hundred of years ago with the war against Japan BTW. |

| Yep, this is definitely a Sunrise anime. Masterpiece. 1/10 |
 |
| my only complaint about the whole series is how i was led on to believe aoi was actually gonna join the fight >.> he never did -im not counting the part where he supports everybody, i thought he would summon a weapon or something and go to town on everybody, but that never happened which makes me kinda sad- |

| All that's left now is Horizon's memories and it seems it won't be easy with those testament guys. The series had fine moments, like when horizon was speaking with Toori on that barrier, I felt that was emotional ( previous ep). The one thing I didn't enjoy was the character design, specifically those fan service designs ( boobs were too unnatural and out of place). The eyes were too large and outfits all over the place and some girls hairs were too large. Whoever was the character designer needed a reality check and proper guideline. The story on the political side was too complicated but on the other it was great(horizon's story). I will give it a 6/10 but I will watch s2. |

| Kiss, Toori and Horizon have kiss xD. Ahhhh... so cute. |
| Horizon-chan is cute. Generally girl design and many girls are cute, two angels for example. Story is cluttered mess but whatever. |
