I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
The fight was totally orgasmic and so will the yuri kiss be in a GIF. My first excitement in screaming YEAH TAKE THAT TESTAMENT UNION! Is in the following, Asama in her outfit and that shot! No words can describe the adrenaline rush of that first one along with Asama’s way in the spoiler  If you include with that the free fan service included with it in the spoiler Furthermore the kiss in the spoiler What really made me realize this is more serious than I though is in the spoiler BTW Obligatory Yuri kiss GIF in the spoiler |

| Oh man this was an awesome episode, THOSE WITCHES ARE SO AWESOME MAN!! Why dont they get more screentime? This show is realy getting good now, loving it |
| Awesom purely awesome Love the transformation thingy <3 But damn what a cliffhanger I really want to see neito in action :/ And nice shield they got there |
| Eat that! People who says this is a bad show... Too many awesome to list in this episode. Gotta love any single one of the cast to death... Adele is unresistingly adorable as Musashi's tanker, Asama's ZUDON is just pure jaw-dropping, can forget about Neishinbara' speech too. But afterall, my body is still not ready for Gacchan and Margot's gold awesome, that scene at the en just made me like a 4 years old girl on Christmas, lolol... |
| uh.. u guys understand the raw version or someone already subbed it? |
 |
| I watched the RAW, and I believe everyone above are the same :)) This episode is action based so it's not that hard to understand... Edit: Some screenshots... |

| some speedsubs (that's not in English) are already out man Sunrise, just drop Age and pump budget into this series already |
| It seems Yuri power can defeat Mech as well lol Nice battle, unfortunately I am watching in a very poor quality video.Need a rewatch ... when I first heard the tercio tactic, the first thing that came up in my mind is this http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/gloryfy/untitled-3.jpg Seriously,they should use mobile tank ,they are too faithful into History reproduction lol The black magician(Schwarzwald floren) is minus energy and the white magician(weiss floren) is positive energy.Notice that their wing is different color to their cloth .My poor translation lol. negative= decay+ purge Positive= recovery+acceleration |
| I watch the RAW too Not that hard to understand :/ Asama, Knight and Naruze got the epic colorful scene and I love it <3 <3 <3 I can't wait to see that on blu ray So far we've got Kimi, Asama, Knight, Naruze, Shirojiro, Masa(?) to show their skills(on a true fight) Can't wait to see the other students on action |
| @Yumekichi11 thanks for those pics in the spoilers now i cannot wait for this to be subbed!!! looks like an action packed episode!!! |
| The previous episode of it was boring to be honest. So far this episode was the best of them :) |

j0x said: Yes! ACTION TIME! Still the one Futayo's father is #1, I guess this is #2 after all but in action it far out beats any of them as #2. Remains to see how things go with War of God and Neito. @Yumekichi11 thanks for those pics in the spoilers now i cannot wait for this to be subbed!!! looks like an action packed episode!!! F********K now I need to say. Next episode now! I want it this time now! I don't want to wait! Well it sucks but I must. Damn! Next episode needs to come now! Seriously. Neito! |
| the 2nd season has been announced/confirmed ages ago, just don't know how long |
| I have a quesion! In an earlier episode, they had 3 matches, and 2/3 wins would determine whether or not they would rescue Horizon. Was there a reason why they couldn't rescue her right away without having those matches? It felt like a filler to me but most likely I was just confused by how the plot was flowing. |
| Well they were unsure whether or not they should rescue Horizon because of the result of war and the consequences associated with said war. One consequence would be, as Shirojiro Bertoni, the money grubbing student council treasurer, mentioned, the inability to feed the residents. TL;DR they didn't know if the pros outweighed the cons of rescuing Horizon but this issue was resolved with the 3 matches |

| They had to have those three matches to officially convince the whole Musashi (that flying city) to fight along with Toori as the chancellor of the Union. If they didn't do this, it basically saying Toori (and prob just about 20 more people) had to fight the world himself. Therefore he had to. Shirojiro vs the Mechanic Club of Musashi for transporting issues while fighting against the Testament Union. Also to show the economy benefits from the mission. Suzu vs Neito to convince the Musashi royalty to side with the student, hence gain more supports (troops, money, moral, etc). Toori vs Masazumi, to show the rest of Musashi about the political benefits of rescuing Horizon. The extra Kimi vs Futayo was just a personal challenge from the king, to see if the students have what it takes to fight the world. Also acted as tiebreaker. As most, they need Musashi to act as their base after all. To do that, they need to turn Musashi against the Union (before, Musashi was under Union's control), or they can't do anything. (else they would be put in the prison for treason). All of those acted as a formal Dispute between Students and the City. Think of it like passing the bills in the government. |
| Nice to see the Witches, and Musashi in action. Funny to see Adele being used a shield and Aoi being hilarious. |
| HERRLICH!! Sooo, Margot and Gacchan are german lesbian witches? o.o Ah well, whatever. This episode was the first one, that was SOMEWHAT like what I expected from this show, when I started it. Nice action. Not poorly delievered "deeper" messages. Toori was awesome again. I really like that guy. |
 |
| Asama was such a badass and the two witches were awesome. This episode was pretty awesome. |
| I am soooo glad I stuck this show out. This was PHENOMINAL. The battles are top notch and I cannot WAIT to see more. The Witches + Musashi + Toori (in general) = WIN. |
  |
| Toori going in the front lines like it's nothing. WitchesL become Lesbians GUNDAM ,_, I would really like to see Toori become so serious that he would snap and see what happens. |

I was expecting the same actually. Glad to finally see the witch twins get some screen time. And that (yuri) kiss made it even better. For me it was the best episode so far. |
 |
| Adele> I'm the juggernaut b**h!!!! pretty good episode for some reason i was really hoping for the witches to kiss and it happened lol. |
 |
| ohhh shiettttttttt situationnnn |
 |
| Too cool too cool This show is just getting better and better |
 |
| Well, if all the action didn't do you justice, then that's too bad... I did find the setting and story confusing as first. But after rewatching the whole thing again, I can really appreciate the story and characters. One of the biggest charm points of Horizon is its awesome cast, there's no one that had screentime is useless. To remind you, this season of Horizon is just the prologue of the whole story, meaning even after 12 episodes, you won't get to know anything just yet. Heck, are you even aware that after 10 episodes, it's still been just 2 days in the anime? Ten episodes to to tell a 2-day story... I don't know if you really get the picture of Horizon after watching... Most of the people I know that GET the picture wouldn't say it's boring or bad. If you understand the anime and simply just don't like it... Again, it's too bad, just not you cup of tea. (Like Gundam has never been mine). |
Tsiih said: This is like asking people to go to war without proper discussion when human life is involve. If there are people who disagree with the rescue, they might not join the fight.One guy turn their back toward their leader may lead to ALL people turning their back toward their leader.I have a quesion!

No one will ask you to study advance quantum physic just to understand how the time machine work in stein gate. |
| Try to exert more effort into watching Horizon. Do research, gather information, watch it again if necessary. This anime series is not for those who are not used to thinking or analyzing the concepts. And we need more anime series like this. The industry is too saturated with series that show too much and leave little to the imagination. |

| simply put this show is not for casual, "hey i'll watch it after a long day of work while my brain is dead" type of audience. Going through discussion forums really help to build on the big picture, and make you think of the little infos you might have missed in the episode. Too many people expect the information to be spoon fed when watching anime. Now not saying that the way they deliver the narrative here is great, but the story is sound while the characters are interesting enough to keep me highly engaged. Question, how many do you think came into this series expecting jiggle and torn clothings, and get disappointed that this series is wordy? |

Agree agree this is the type of anime that need you to browse some forum/wikia to enjoy it and fan service on this anime is not that "extreme?" ..... well aside from big boobies :/ For me the biggest disappointment on this season is guilty crown :) |
| I have no words to describe this anime. +9001! Can anyone tell me what the equivalent of a "God of War" is? Or is it just made up.. Hopefully they have a second season! :D |
 |
| To begin with, Horizon was meant to be for novel's readers, hence the not-so-great delivery in the beginning to focus on the visual aspect of the anime. But it has been very faithful to novel as far as I know, that's why, like reading a novel, you will get the picture eventually, not right at the first sentence. I can tell from watching that lots of effect and love was poured into this show looking at the characters. Heck, even the original author gets involved a lot with the anime production (apparently, he helped storyboarding lots of sequence in the show, he even choreographed Kimi's dance sequence). Therefore, the characters in Horizon are really polished even in a very short screentime, which really earns my respect. I think the reason lots of people thumbed down this show is that they think great plot + mainstream design doesn't work together. People looking for plot don't expect Horizon to have it from that kind of design. And people who like the design get thrown off by the setting bombardment. That's really a shame though... |
| ^ I like the setting bombardment during episode one. lol After the wacky battle scene at first episode, I thought it will be another series same like Dog days, but after the explanation of the background start along with the ed song makes me reconsider the Anime.

Yuri + war. That's the only plot line I understand.  |
| Action pack but I still love ep 5 best. LOL @ Adele when she bowed to the guy and then all the guys bowed back to her, just so funny. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| the thing with ep5 is that it is able to create emotions. not to mention snake is so badass in that scene. |
| LOL@ Tomo's siege mode like outfit. |

In other words it's what you said, start hating one part while liking the other and a drop will be eventual. While balancing out in the middle will ensure max fun in enjoying both. It is recommended to do some research. Sadly I did not have time to contribute but MorningGlory does Excellent job! even points to site where the info is. I LOVE YOU MAN! Seriously, I only try to provide the graphics that make this series really EPIC. Such as the yuri kiss. Notice it's done rather passionately considering in one saved the other's life. Bet anything there will be some hot bed action between those 2 after the fight. Also excellent info for Kimi's dance because I loved it and the drama too. Did the creator also help in that? It was superbly done! TT_TT tears of manhood for Toori on that one. |

From animesuki: Also @kawakamiminoru 川上稔 振り付けは完全なものを作りました。踊ってビデオ撮ってそれを参考にして貰ってます。 Kawakami actually filmed himself doing the dance choreography in this episode so the staff have a reference when animating that scene. Talk about dedication ... ---- Kawakami: I can write novels, I can write scenarios, I can design characters, I can design mecha, I can draw storyboard, I can build 3D models, and I can do dance choreography. Sunrise staff: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Fans:  Also, the ED in episode 9 was actually the result of Kawakami convincing Sunrise to redraw the novel illustration and let it roll at the end. It's a still image, but fits with the music and atmosphere perfectly. |

| I'm so glad this show proved me wrong and didn't turn into a second Majikoi! Well, there's still the problem of all the huge boobs that make it impossible to take any of the female character seriously but I can look past that if it continues to develop it's large cast while giving us creative and entertaining action scenes. I must say, I was kinda hoping for Toori to get shot (I find him horribly annoying). Althought, I prefer an hyperactive pervert as a main character more then a boring and plain one (I'm talking to you Shu from Guilty Crown). In conclusion, Horizon is the "nice surprise" of the season. It's not perfect but it sure is entertaining and getting better every week. Oh, I also liked that they didn't beat around the bush and just went with the rescuing Horizon now! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of hoping for a second season now :S |
