Sorry for the lack of updates as I've been on the convention trail but before I left for the convention I finished an anime series I was desperate to review but ultimately ran out of time. Now that I'm back and eager to recover quickly here is my review of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.

In the distant future the world is devastated so the human race moved to the heavens but something went wrong and they are forced to return to the world which was still very much ravaged; however Japan is still functioning so the human race gets squeezed into their country using pocket dimensions to separate each nation. The nations in control are called the Divine States while the pocket dimension nations are called the Harmonic Divine States.
At this point the worlds decide to reenact history from 10,000BC in order to rediscover their lost technology and return to the heavens all run by the Testament Union, but in 1413AD War broke out and the Harmonic Divine States invaded the Divine States and split up the States to each group in a similar way to how Sengoku Era Japan worked.
In 1648AD the residents of Japan now live on the battleship Musashi but rumors of an apocalypse coming soon creates waves of concern within the Testament Union who precede over the viewing of history. Taking advantage of this situation, Tori Aoi, head of Musashi Ariadust Academy's Supreme Federation and President of the student council, leads his classmates to war against the Harmonic Divine States in order to reclaim their homeland and recover the lost emotions of his android girlfriend Horizon; which being an anime is in the form of weapons and strictly speaking each nation is controlled by student councils and anything and everything you can expect is there including ecchi.
That is a long ass explanation for this series, it's any wonder this light novel series is longer than most western manuscripts.
So is it any good?
Well it's difficult to keep up with and set universe laws seem to break pretty easily; the assortment of characters are all unique with little to no focus on Tori Aoi who often walks around naked for no reason, Horizon herself barely has any focus at all either despite being the title character, as other characters often steal the spotlight. I do give this series a lot of creativity points for unique character designs and equally unique battles, but getting through the story was a tough enough barrier and I pretty much wore myself out just explaining the plot.
The dub is okay but Season 2 suffers with audio issues with too much clashing between music and dialogue and with such a complex plot it can be a little daunting to read subtitles and it really needs the dub to be clear and precise.
Final Verdict: It needs a bit of love and care to get past a heavy barrier of plot and dialogue but within lies a host of unique characters and action that leaves you feeling more satisfied by the time you finish season 2. The light novel goes on for much longer and there's little to no info about future seasons.
