Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon - Light Novel Discussion

[Zefyris]

So I finally read 8-C.
Could be called the calm before the storm, since it's the preparation for the climax. Although the last 300 pages is already an unpredicted storm (I was like "damn it don't start something that crazy just 300 pages before the end the next book is next year if this ends on a huge cliffhanger damn you" But it didn't whew).

Spoiler for volume 8C:

So that character who did the same as #4 is named Reizei. That's indeed a direct reference to #, we have most of the automatons from OnC now. Reizei is actually almost an exception since for once the reference to OnC's automaton isn't from Hexagone Française.
I like Reizei a lot more than I liked #4 btw. #4 wasn't here long enough to really care.

So poqou=nobod(y) indeed. SHe explained why she choose nobody and that's because she didn't have a name, just a first name, because she was born in some countryside where names aren't even felt necessary.
But I really doubt that the theory (Nob(unaga) Od(a) is true for seeral reason. 1) she failed at the final test because she ran away before hearing the results so Oda Nobunaga isn't her. 2) She's too young for being part of the competition to be Oda Nobunaga. Her benefactor was obviously Mitsuhide himself though. And the person she was in love with was probably Mitsuhide as well. So she was in direct competition with someone else and it was probably a really important name, and obviously it's someone from P.AOda who received the name only a few years ago at best.
Maybe Hashiba, I don't remember how much time passed since she was named. Or christina's second name, since that's Mitsuhide's daughter.

So we got to see the emperor. I had the correct theory before about the emperor's physical body but rejected it due to Azuma. Didn't expect that info about Azuma though.

Damn that room is full of mysteries and sounds like all the 3 are absolutely crucial to the plot. Azuma, Miriam, and the ghost girl are all suspicious. all of them are complete mysteries. That room is a black box lol on musashi.

And wow, that kiss was unexpected. I think that's the first time we see Miriam do that? Nice, I quite like that couple.

I'm also starting to see what the origin of the SPEER is. Which would explain why some of them look so similar in role and race as Musashi's crew.

To answer this

Spoiler for volume 8C-end:

She needs time in "sleep" to integrate to her OS the new emotions when she gain a new Logismoi oplo and she got the last two in the end of the current last volume. As such, Horizon's personality is currently without those two, it's not "complete".
Volume 9 and maybe even volume 10 will probably be ina very short period of time so I doubt she'll have the time and leisure to put herself to sleep for a day or more and do it, so we may not see how Horizon is with all the Logismoi oplo before volume 10-11 at this rate.
She already changed quite a bit with the add of the previous ones, but she isn't complete.

So JS06 just finished translating the 3rd arc. That's a very nice news for all the english reader. Dat end is awesome.

[JimJiminy02]

So after reading all of the 3rd arc, I can see why there is no possibility for a third season unless it gets a 26+ continuous episode treatment.

Anyways, I'm a little confused on the status of characters:

Spoiler for Character status:

So I know that Matsunaga and Anne are dead and that Innocentius is missing, but what is the status of Yoshitsune, is she dead or just missing? And who else dies or disappears due to the princess disappearances? (chapters too long to properly remember it all)

Right :]. See why. 26 wouldn't be enough because both arc 3 and 4 are longer than arc 2 and arc 2 was already one of the most rushed adaptation in anime history. And it used 13,5 episodes rather than 13 (since it started in the 13th episode of the first episode).
so most probably a season 3 would require something closer to 30 EVEN by being EXTREMELY rushed.

[OH&S]

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Girls Talk Matsuri to Yume to be released on November 10th.

[Zefyris]

woot, the author was indeed saying in the afterword of the 8c that he was working on a second girls talk book, was hopping for it to get out this year. Nice.

[venshade]

I'm about to start reading the novel(again) but I really lost right now in what volume or chapter does the 2nd season of anime left off?

[Xellos-_^]

season2 correspond to vol2.

so start at vol3 which is right after vol2.

[Zefyris]

volume 9A 's cover preview :
http://dengekibunko.jp/newreleases/978-4-04-865886-7/
A bloodstained Oichi on the first volume of the Honnouji no Hen arc? Somehow it seems like this arc will see Oichi go berserk again. Blood and body parts will rain ? Things probably aren't going to go Musashi's way here.

[FlavoryFantasy]

Oh boy Oichi eh? Can't help but wonder who's stuck fighting her....best of luck to them.

I just finish watching Horizon 2 anime recently.Had they ever mentioned what are the sizes of bust,waist,hip of Tomo Asama and Kimi Aoi? How tall are both them? What's their height? I don't remember seeing any other anime that have girls with rack as big as the girls in Horizon. I wonder if the anime just inflate it or it just the way it is in light novel. In Agk, the make Esdeath tits bigger in anime.

Novel's illustrator Satoyasu has a tendency to draw very big breasts so it's pretty much the same. In the author's original designs, breast were smaller.

Is there link where I can view the character original design?

Mostly from the interior part of the novel's cover (so if you click on "novel illustrations" on bakatsuki, you will see a drawing from the author about that character (should be the third pic), that you can compare with Satoyasu's illustration on the cover. Usually, the characters' breasts are easily 2 sizes smaller.

The only other use of the author's illustration/concept art I know of is that old video made by the author when he was starting the KyouHora series:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paTb0LcBcvA

But it's hard to see due to the choice of blackening them. You can notice it from place like 2:05, where she clearly doesn't have the huge breast she's having in Satoyasu's art.

Thanks. I decided to check the first few one this what I got.

Tomo Asama

Spoiler:

Kimi Aoi

Spoiler:

Yup, the anime and novel cover seems make the boobs too big.

[Zefyris]

that's not the author's illustration. That's satoyasu's illsutration you're looking at. Which are pretty much the same size as anime (with maybe the anime managing to make them even a bit bigger but honestly when you reached that kind of size... As I said above, author's illustration can only be seen in the inside part of the cover (so one per volume). Anything else is Satoyasu's illustrations.

[Archaeon]

Btw, I come across this figure. I don't remember this scene where Asama sat on Toori Aoi occur in the anime(or maybe I just forgot,short memory). Did it happen in the LN?

Spoiler:

[Zefyris]

I don't remember that. Isn't that two different figures put together rather than one?

I also don't remember it but apparently Toori Aoi also included in the same box set.
