Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II Discussion Thread

[something]

Episode 4:

- Hahha, Neito's love of meat is adorable. She's so happy being fed by Hrizon she doesn't even notice Aoi is naked. Again.
- Food teleportation ninjutsu. Handy.
- You're a good dude, Tenzou.
- Ah, Kizuari is still hiding her voice around the others.
- Ahahah, Kobold rejects your money. And takes it anyway.
- Bwhhah, Adele drops a bomb (or so they think). And then Azuma follows up some more, to Kimi's delight.
- AHHAHA Malga throws Mazasumi under the bus.
- Oh god and she just made it worse. This is going to be beautiful. Now Horizon and Futayo are involved too.

- Horizon is still feeding Neito. SO CUTE.
- Nobody even thinks twice about Aoi being naked now. I'm pretty used it too, now. It'll be weirder to see him wearing clothes.
- Realllllllly like the music playing right now.
- Aoi wants a date. And possibly world war.
- Oh and one of the armaments is missing. Oops.

- Kizuari and Tenzou can be a cute scarred couple together! This series does relationships really damn well in general. Aoi and Horizon are great, these two are great, and of course Margot and Malga are amaaaaaazing.
- More bathing! Wouldn't Margot and Malga get feathers in the bath?
- Suzu's speech is too cute...
- Hahhahaah, Masazumi and Asama are doing I dunno what (giving Masazaumi some new or enhanced divine protection?) but Malga is using it as yuri doujin material. =D
- And Masazumi gets... an anteater. o_O
- Suzu has bigger boobs than Adele!

- Off go Suzu, Adele, and Futayo. Go negotiate like pros!
- Aaaaaaaaaand shit is happening and I don't know what the fuck but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

[HitokiriShadow]

Fuck yeah, Margot got to be awesome!

On the other hand, this is not going to help Malga's issues. She even had to get saved by an enemy. But that enemy was fucking Tachibana Gin! And she was up against a ludicrously cheating hax armament, though there are clearly ways to defeat it. Also, I wonder what happens if you convince it and/or its bearer that they are acting against Justice... I think I have a decent idea and I will be disappointed if the show doesn't go that route with one of them.

Apparently Scarface isn't worried about keeping her sex a secret anymore.

Also, remember how I mentioned that I'm shipping Suzu/Adele just, well, because? God bless you Adele. They're obviously just playing a game, but still. In any case, its nice to see Adele being useful via things she does herself rather than just being carried around as a human shield for a change. Even if she's still just using her armor as a big shield, at least she's the one doing it.

Oh and what the hell CrunchyRoll? I had to watch a rip because CR's video just completely stopped at the 14 second mark on 720 and 480. SD made it slightly farther, to the beginning of the OP. It wasn't a buffering problem, it acted like the whole episode had ended and jumped to the "Replay?" screen. Which I tried, several times on multiple video settings, both by pressing "Replay" and by re-entering from the main screen. In the end, I had to watch a rip.

[Fencedude]

Oh man, this episode. Even more crazy than I thought when I watched it raw.

[Buckeye]

CR has been having problems with this episode as it stops as if it had ended just after about a minute. So I had to watch it on an iPad.

- It's wartime, according to Shakespeare.
- Adele and Suzu are changing clothes. Or so those boys think.
- Futayo, meet the samurai Walter Raleigh.
- So all this is to obtain the right to challenge Tori.
- Have a nice death, Masazumi! Courtesy of the skeleton Christopher Hatton.
- Ulquiaga, meet the boy fairy without an older sister.
- Margot, it's an underwater battle against the guy in the Speedo, Hawkins.
- Malga, meet the werewolf Francis Drake.
- Nate, too bad you don't fight the werewolf. How's about the marionette F. Walsingham and her Nanoha-style weaponry?
- Why so serious? Horizon is asking for it from Tori.
- Ulquiaga wins his fight. Ginji sure did something about it.
- Margot sure found a way to do a quick chant under water.
- Malga, you fought well given what little power you have, but Gin will finish the fight.
- Raleigh is sure a tough guy to beat.
- Yuri must be brewing between Adele and Suzu inside a piece of armor.

So much is going on in this episode, and this show continues to be great. Adele and Suzu were acting all cute, and it was funny that the boys think they are doing something fanservicey. Margot was awesome in that fight knowing how to chant underwater. Futayo has that fighting spirit, Nate knows how to fight like a wolf, and while Malga is still powerless, she is resourceful and that buys her time for Gin to save the day. So the Musashi students are engaged in a battle against the Trumps, and they must win all of them in order to prevent the right to challenge from falling into enemy hands. So far, Ulquiaga and Margot have won their battles, but the rest are still engaged. And then there is Tomo and Kimi apparently running on a treadmill or something that were not pulled into Shakespeare's power. In any case, another great episode here, and it looks like Mary and Tenzo are about to do something in the next episode that will leave a huge impact.

[something]

After Oda Nobuna, Hakuouki, and Sencolle, I can extend my "altered history anime" streak one more with Horizon!

Episode 5:

- Futayo has been separated. Thankfully Adele is still with Suzu.
- Heh. They're just going to have a slumber party in Adele's robot to pass the time. Too cute.

- Asama and Kimi together must generate a massive gravitational pull on nearby asteroids.
- HAVE A NICE DEATH! As if you chumps could kill Masazumi.
- I really need Margot and Gacchan to fight something together. I miss seeing the couple in the same place. ;_;
- So Magot gets to fight in water? That can't be convenient.
- Gacchannnn~ So, uh, Joan d'Arc was rescues by an elite squad of werewolves? And wait, is that why Neito has a good sense of smell?
- Oh jeeeze Gaccahn drew the short straw. She's up against a giant werewolf, who has an armament, and will probably eat her if he wins. >_>
- Toori is, like, the most tareme male character ever.
- Kizuari, ki ni narimasu!
- And now mecha guy is fighting a fairy because why not?
- AHAHAHAHA, did Margot just use cleavage air to chant a spell? Amazing.
- Gacchannnnn!! ;_; WHY IS THIS SHOW SO MEAN TO HER?
- Ooh but she gets a nice attack in... ...and is gonna get eaten. Where are you, Margot!?
- Uh or she could be saved by Gin. Not as good.
- Guh. And then Gacchan gets unceremoniously dumped from the fight. I hope all this humiliation is building up to some really epic Gacchan scene. ;_;
- "Thinking time." Wait, you think, Futayo?

Adele and Suzu play games very suggestively. Toori and Tenzou continue their dates. Margot and mecha guy and I guess Futayo won their duels. Neito, Gacchan (well, Gin) and Masazumi continue theirs. Fight, girls, fight!

Yes, Neito is half wolf. Or half werewolf....I'm not quite sure.

- AHAHAHAHA, did Margot just use cleavage air to chant a spell? Amazing.

Margot's air acquisition is one of the most interesting parts of that fight, there were a few other places where she got some air, though that was the most notable.

[Damius]

- Toori stop trying…you will always loose against Horizon.
- Suzu! How can you be so adorable!
- Cloak is removes a beautiful girl appears, with a way better voice than before.
- But, she will put her cloak back… No…
- A dogeza bow…they didn’t guess that. She has to save the moment.
- Negotiation time!
- Triple Axel Dogeza! No picture this time.
- Suzu will be the Diplomatic Ambassador. It is the most cute and adorable Ambassador of all time!

Love you Suzu! Want more and more of you. Now that you have an important role I will!

[Buckeye]

- It may be called London Tower, but it is actually a fortress.
- Long time, my friend.
- Good thinking wearing a guy's jacket, Masazumi.
- Nate is sure having a hard time, while Gin manages to chop off an arm.
- Shakespeare and Toussaint sure are rattling each other.
- Let's finish this. Wait a minute, Diego and Grace, the fight was just getting to the best part.
- The anteater is not doing well, but it is Tomo to the rescue. Masazumi is out of harm's way.
- It's a great thing Nate has a flat chest. Otherwise, it would have been ugly.
- Tori and Horizon in the plaza, having a date and feeding some birds.
- Tori called, Sis and Tomo answered.
- Adele, Suzu, how could you play games and eat junk food at a time like this?
- Dudley and company are about to tear the armor. Gotta jet.
- An explosion at London Tower, and Tenzo plays hero once again.
- And Mary calls for him. Wait, there are two of them.
- Why so serious, Double Bloody Mary?

Overall, this is a great episode as a lot was happening, but it's all great action and visuals. And then there is the cliffhanger at the end where the mystery of Double Bloody Mary comes into full circle. There is Mary, the scarred one who Tenzo is in love with, and then there is her evil twin that plays the Joker and paralyzes Tenzo in the process. The next episode will really be something.

[HitokiriShadow]

Goddamn, where do I begin?

Tachibana Gin! Is freaking awesome! Holy shit! She freaking cut off his arms!

Neito's fight was all sorts of awesome too even if she wasn't doing nearly so well. In fact, it was rather painful for her. But it culminated in Flat Chest Evasion! Her being so proud of being able to dodge something that would Tomo and Kimi join the Masazumi club was the cherry on top of a hilarity sundae.

Shakespeare-tan is still adorable. And had a twin. That died. Now she's giving The Ultimate Twin Question to Nebishin to.... torment him? Make her sister happy? Both? Anyway, really enjoying the Shakespeare/Nebishin subplot. Actually, really impressed with how many good male characters this show has.

Suzu. Rhythm game. She's awesome at it. "Yatta, rhythm games are fun, aren't they?" HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!

Adele munching on donuts while watching her was pretty cute. Then Adele gets to be kinda awesome. I love the Adele/Suzu pairing so, so, so much.

And then we get a big reveal with Kizuari. Her identity isn't surprising. That they meant the Double part that way was. Double twin reveal in a single episode. Goddamn, Kyoukaisen.

So yeah, it was one of those episodes. Which is basically every episode of Horizon after about ep ~7 of the first season. But this one (and eps one of S2 and last ep) in particular.

[Fencedude]

Witness the power of Flatchest Evasion!
