Bell: “Toori-kun, where is…Mitotsudaira-san?”

Me: “Eh? She said she was going to stand guard and went outside.”

Bell: “U-um, a moment ago…I heard her…scream?”

Hori-ko: “Toori-sama, did you do something to make Mitotsudaira-sama scream? I see. You seem to have a modicum of guts, so I will promote you from ‘pathetic insect’ to ‘insect’.”

Me: “That’s not any betterrrrrr! Not better at allllll! And it wasn’t me!”

Hori-ko: “Then I shall keep your rank as-is.”

Me: “I suppose so, but why do I suddenly want that promotion now…?”

When things are so bad you don’t know what you really want.

Tentang Anime Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon - Wikipedia Anime Di masa depan, manusia meninggalkan Bumi yang hancur dan melakukan perjalanan ke luar angkasa. Namun, karena fenomena yang tidak diketahui yang mencegah mereka bepergian ke luar angkasa, manusia kembali ke Bumi hanya untuk merasa tidak ramah kecuali di Jepang. Untuk mengakomodasi seluruh populasi manusia, dimensi saku diciptakan di sekitar Jepang untuk menampung penduduk. Untuk menemukan cara untuk kembali ke angkasa luar, manusia mulai menghidupkan kembali sejarah manusia menurut Kitab Suci Perjanjian. Tapi di tahun 1413 Era Perjanjian, negara-negara dari dimensi saku menyerang dan menaklukkan Jepang, membagi wilayah itu menjadi wilayah feodal dan memaksa penduduk asli Jepang untuk pergi. Sekarang tahun 1648 Era Perjanjian, para pengungsi Jepang sekarang tinggal di kapal kota Musashi, di mana ia terus-menerus berkeliling di sekitar Jepang saat diawasi oleh Serikat Perjanjian, otoritas yang menjalankan pengesahan ulang sejarah. Namun, desas-desus tentang kiamat dan perang mulai menyebar saat Perjanjian tersebut berhenti mengungkapkan apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya setelah 1648. Mengambil keuntungan dari situasi ini, Toori Aoi, kepala Federasi Agung dan Akademi Tinggi Akademi Yuji Ariadust, memimpin rekan-rekan sekelasnya untuk gunakan kesempatan ini untuk mendapatkan kembali tanah air mereka.

Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon 1-2

Author: Minoru Kawakami

Illustrator: Satoyasu (TENKY)

Label: Dengeki Bunko

Release Date: 10 October 2008

Art Notes: I don’t particularly like the covers for this series. There are some good ones (volume 4-3 comes to mind) but, for the most part, the balloon boobs are a huge turn-off for me. This is one of the better covers in the series, thanks to the absence of balloon boobs but it’s still not really to my taste. That being said, the insert and colour illustrations are far more appealing than the covers and are done in a very different style. I really love the 3-page long monochrome group shot illustration of the gang as they set out to rescue Horizon. I’m especially fond of how everyone looks badass and determined... except for Margot and Naruze who are just flirting with each other in the sky lol.

I’ll repeat what I said in my volume 1 review: I have loved the anime for this for many years now and, while I do acknowledge all of it’s flaws, it’s very special to me and there is no way for me to be unbiased about it. And please know that I really will just be scratching the surface of this series, both with regards to what it has to offer and what it doesn’t do so well. These volumes are too long for me to really cover everything but I hope my talking about it gets you interested in the series.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS and it’s not even really a review, it’s just me talking for 1600 words about how much I love this series.

Okay, so, I guess I’ll start this thing by talking about the scene that I really hate to talk about because it’s so bad and it’s one of the reasons why, even though I love this series, I don’t really recommend it to others. Let’s start off with Masazumi’s backstory. Masazumi was assigned female at birth but she underwent sex reassignment surgery in an attempt to promote her family’s status but some things changed before the surgery was completed and she was no longer able to promote her family’s status so the surgery remained incomplete. She had her top surgery done but not her bottom. Due to this, she tends to wear masculine clothes so everyone thinks that she is a guy. In this volume, she’s having a debate with Toori on live TV about whether they should rescue or Horizon or not when a third party outs her as female in an attempt to shake her confidence. To confirm this, Toori pulls down her pants without her consent (again, this live TV). You’re not meant to read Toori’s actions here as harmful or anything and it does end up helping Masazumi’s confidence. But it reinforces the harmful idea that, no matter how someone identifies or presents themself, their gender all comes down to genitalia in the end and the scene is even worse if you read Masazumi as trans and/or non-binary (which is why I don’t). I don’t think that the author had any bad intentions with this scene but I completely understand if this scene turns you off from the series.

Now that that’s out of the way, let me talk about the volume proper. It’s even longer than the first part - BookMeter puts it as 771 pages and it’s almost 900 pages on my iPad. I took me 9 days to get through and it was worth every second for me because I just really fucking love this series but it was hard to get through due to Kawakami’s writing style and all of the politics and consumed most of my brain power while I was reading it. I mostly just want to talk about the scenes that I really loved in this volume so let’s get to it.

The volume starts right where the last one left off: the automaton P-01s is revealed to hold the soul of Horizon Ariadust, a girl who was thought to have died years before the start of the story, and is arrested and sentenced to execution. A lot of the volume focuses on the characters deciding whether to save Horizon or not. While some people might get bored by this long process, I love that the story explores the consequences of such an action and I love that the characters talk about the pros and cons of rescuing Horizon.

The scene where Class 3-Plum think about what they want to do about Horizon is the early highlight of the volume as they are given paper and are told to write down what they want to do. Asama thinks about Toori’s and Horizon’s reunion and ends up writing smut (lol) but the real highlight of the scene is when Asama reads out Suzu’s answer. Suzu writes about her first meeting with Horizon and Toori and how they supported her when she had to climb up stairs on her first day of school and how they reached out their hands to her when she was crying. It’s a really emotional scene that shows off a lot of the series’ strengths when it comes to portraying disability and supporting people who have a disability and how important kindness and compassion is.

Another highlight of the volume comes when the class have to convince others to rescue Horizon and the matches are so good but I especially want to focus on the Suzu vs. Nate and Kimi vs. Futayo matches. Nate’s a knight and her battle with Suzu is really a battle of ethics and values. Suzu is someone who Nate is supposed to protect and to fight her would be going against her knightly values. The fight is over before it even really begins but it’s a great scene that shows what Nate values and what the strengths of several of the members of the class are as they discuss the best way to take down Nate.

The Futayo vs Kimi match is a bit more complicated and definitely longer. Futayo fights with Tonbokiri, a spear that can cut through anything, regardless of whether it is a physical thing or more like a concept, given to her after the deafeat of her father last volume while Kimi fights using erotic dancing (yes, really). While this may seem like a bad match-up for Kimi, it’s actually brilliant. One of Kimi’s spells makes her untouchable by anyone that she does not want to be touched by so Futayo tries to use Tonbokiri to “cut” Kimi’s name instead but such a thing does not work on someone like Kimi, who changes her name as often as she changes her clothes. Kimi is her birth name but she’s happy to go by Josephine one week and Bel Fiore the next. Kimi does not consider her name to be a part of her identity so this tactic is completely ineffective on her and she wins. It’s a wonderful scene that’s made even better by the use of a remixed version of “Toorimase (Song of Passage)”, the in-universe equivalent of a nursery rhyme, for Kimi’s erotic dance. We also get to see a glimpse of the state that Toori was in after Horizon’s death and how Kimi dealth with that and it’s just so GOOD. Ah, I just love Kimi!

That also brings me to another thing I love about the series: the characters are OP but not undefeatable. The series often introduces the fact that a character has an awesome battle skill but then shows you soon after how said skill can be beat. This happens a few times in this arc, like in the first volume when Asama shows how she can use a skill with her bow that guarantees a hit on someone but Oritorai defeats it by using her hair as a part of her “self” rendering the skill useless, and I love that the series does this because it makes everything more interesting when you know that the characters can be defeated.

And then we come to the big final battle to rescue Horizon and Toori make a huge sacrifice. Toori, in exchange for having the ability to power up his forces, Toori gives up his ability to feel negative emotions. From here on, if Toori feels sad for even a moment, he will die. This is a big sacrfice and the series acknowledges it as such. Scenes like this are why I’m still able to enjoy Toori as a protagonist, despite how annoying he can be.

So, then, Toori reaches Horizon and you’d think that would be it, right? That Toori would save Horizon and they’d ride off into happily ever after? Well, no. While Horizon may not have any emotions, she is her own person with her own thoughts and feelings and she judges that it would be better for everyone if she is not rescued. She doesn’t even remember Toori and she sees herself as a burden and that things would be better for everyone if she did just die. But, in the end, regardless of what she thinks is best for everyone, she still wants to live and Toori convinces her that her feelings are important. And I love, love, love that Horizon cannot be “saved”; Toori is there to support her, yes, but Horizon has to make the decision to live herself.

And then it’s time for Horizon and Toori to conquer their past. Where Horizon is being held, there is a wall that seperates her from the outside world. This wall, if touched, shows a person their greatest sin and the person must conquer this sin in order to get past the wall but most people are unable to do this and die as a consequence. Toori and Horizon touch the wall and the two are transported back into the past to the day that Horizon died. That day, Horizon cooked Toori breakfast but he said it was disgusting and she ran off in tears, only to be run over by a carriage and be killed from it. Toori’s sin is not running after Horizon and saving her that day and, together, Toori and Horizon are able to conquer it and, again, I love that the series shows how important having support is because there is no way that either of these two would survive this on their own.

And so Horizon lives and regains her first emotion: envy and Class 3-Plum are off to save the world from the apocalypse. If it wasn’t obvious yet, I love this series and I’m so excited to talk about the second arc.

Adaptation Notes:

While the anime is very close to the light novel, there are some scenes that are shortened or cut. For example, the anime cut some scenes of Horizon waiting for her execution and the light novel gives us more details on many other things as well. That being said, I love a lot of what the anime brings to the table and I’m especially appreciative of the Futayo vs. Kimi fight and I love the remixed version of Toorimase used for Kimi’s dancing. I also appreciate that they not only left the kiss between Naruze and Margot in but also animated in a way that doesn’t feel vouyeristic or anything. It’s just two ladies in love, kissing after they’ve done their bit for the final battle. The voice actors really nail every single scene and are very memorable and the animation is fantastic.

Like I said when I talked about the first volume, I’ll be going really slow on this series. It really is quite taxing on me to read but I always enjoy my time with it regardless and I want to savor that.

Synopsis:

“In the far future, humans abandon a devastated Earth and traveled to outer space. However, due to unknown phenomenon that prevents them from traveling into space, humanity returns to Earth only to find it inhospitable except for Japan. To accommodate the entire human population, pocket dimensions are created around Japan to house in the populace. In order to find a way to return to outer space, the humans began reenacting human history according to the Holy book Testament. But in the year 1413 of the Testament Era, the nations of the pocket dimensions invade and conquer Japan, dividing the territory into feudal fiefdoms and forcing the original inhabitants of Japan to leave. It is now the year 1648 of the Testament Era, the refugees of Japan now live in the city ship Musashi, where it constantly travels around Japan while being watched by the Testament Union, the authority that runs the re-enactment of history. However, rumors of an apocalypse and war begin to spread when the Testament stops revealing what happens next after 1648. Taking advantage of this situation, Toori Aoi, head of Musashi Ariadust Academy's Supreme Federation and President of the student council, leads his fellow classmates to use this opportunity to regain their homeland.”

Weird but good. After watching the two seasons, I still do not get the theme of the series, however, I do know the plot or the story-line. This anime is probably not for everyone but if you like comedy then this show is one of the go to. What I like in this show aside from comedy is the variety of character. There are a lot of characters with unique personality so there are different development. While most characters are female with fan services, some male characters are still notable, To conclude, I consider this show as something that is balanced. Sure it is flawed but still a good one.

Note: the synopsis above is for season 1 only.

“Um…”

“Shh, Suzu-sama, please do not speak. It will prevent me from accurately measuring your boobs.”

Horizon held a cloth measuring tape around her from behind. And…

“Nh…!”

She measured. But then she changed the angle of the measuring tape.

“Is this the right spot…?”

“Eh? F-for what?”

“Oh, I was only trying to decide the best angle and position for measuring your bust if I think of it as divided horizontally between the under-bust and over-bust”

Pretty sure this is not how you measure boobs.

Righteousness: “Hey, I just finished prepping Righteousness. What are all of you doing?”

Hori-ko: “Judge. Naruze-sama fled after a bomb threat, Heidi-sama is def! – ecating, Naito-sama was sniped at, and Mitotsudaira-sama screamed.”

Righteousness: “Could someone explain properly?”

Flat Vassal: “Yeah, that’s not much of an explanation is it? Umm, to put those in the proper order, the 5th Special Duty Officer screamed, the 4th Special Duty Officer was found by Asama-san while preparing a porn doujin on the roof, and the 3rd Special Duty Officer was sniped at. Oh, and the Treasurer’s Aide is doing battle in the bathroom to avoid getting blown up.”

Righteousness: “Could someone else explain properly?”

No matter what, everyone is going to assume the worst when it comes to the bathroom.
