Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere

[azanimefan]

terrible. that was just horrible. Even LvB was better then that, and i hated that show.

this season is a huge letdown thus far.

meh, C³ was way worse.
Aza were are you pulling your LVB comparison from?
XEBEC does ecchi a certain way, this is Sunrise after all so I can only assume something good might happen here, maybe eventually, I hope. LVB, was a different studio, and a different genre.

My main concern with this is the huge freaking cast. It's too soon, and too confusing to make any calls on the plot. Main dude is voiced by Jun F, so that's one good thing I suppose.

lol Just what the heck was this? That red jelly ball totally looks like a puni from the Atelier game series. And the suits shown in the opening are reminiscent of the IS from Infinite Stratos. I'm going to keep watching for now for these reasons, plus I'm a big fan of fantasy.

*looks at the bright side* At least there weren't any panty shots...yet. In non-ecchi anime, they tend to still have them even in the first episode. Good job, Horizon! Now I just wish the protagonist wasn't perverted.

well, didnt really live up to my expectations but thats only the first episode so i wont judge yet.

1. The main male character isn't spineless and dull like most male leads. 2. It doesn't take place in a typical modern school.

Those two reasons are enough for me to try it.

Totaly agree, Cube were so boooring and this one isn't much better. Action just for acton and expostion were as amateurish as possible. But it has Hiroshi Kamya and Myuki Sawashiro so I guess I will try another few episodes before I decide if I drop it

I agree c3 was worse.

I'm pulling out LvB, because it's a harem anime i hated, and the character designs with the balloons under shirt breast design and the faces on the girls all looked like it came out of that anime.

this was stupid, but we'll see where it goes. at least i don't hate the mc.

This show looks like a more comedy-oriented version of Chrome Shelled Regios. I'm looking forward to a good action-comedy ratio. At least it has a freaking hilarious cast: male lead who is a total pervert carrying an eroge in public, a "poring" from ragnarok online, a man with a bucket on his head and a naked winged man.
This could be really fun ^^

No kidding.

I give most shows 3 eps to "start" but man all i see coming from horizon is an endless gotta-catch-em-all fanservice festival :{

here's to a surprise turnaround for ep two!

[kargarus]

Episode 2 and this pretty much remains an incomprehensible mess. I can't stand that protagonist, he's so smug - hey I'm going to grope this chick this episode.

Some explanation into the setting and the potential for conflicts are becoming slowly apparent - I'll give it another ep or two, but just the way this show's being handled, another stupid eroge joke, bland characters make it so off putting for me.
