I must say I loled at this, since that exactly what I think! The fact that I still continue to watch this despite the... Err, nothing-much-happening except lots of fanservice (at the moment, that is) and exposition galore is mostly because of Aoi. *cough* (Though that's not to say that I don't like the girls--Asama, Masazumi and Neito are definitely appealing on the eyes ) /runs and slips off banana now

It seems he's so extreme the people that would like that really like him, and for everyone else it's SO bad it's good. Somehow the show's sex-changing antics made even more absurd then it already was; basically now we can't even be sure what kind of hell hole spawned him.
As for everything else. This episode made a lot more sense, though I think credit is due to the people actually explaining Ep1 here then the actual episode itself. Thanks for that. I didn't have the best opinion on the female outfits last episode but this one kind of turned it all around, they're really expressive and kind of amusing in a way; I think they look silly in battles so probably Ep1 kind of started on the wrong foot in that regard. Same thing could be said about the interface gadgets they keep summoning. They've kind of grown on me now that they've been portrayed as an everyday thing rather then the "battle interface" feel they had in the first episode. Character wise. face was funny so he gets the okey from me; his sister too. Other characters were kind of okey, though we didn't really get much development on that front. I think the main girl jumped to the top, along with sister, now that I know she's some kind of robot—her personality was just too bland, but I can accept it if she's some kind of doll thing. Story wise. Presentation was better, just because it was more slow and tamed. We also didn't get teased every half second. The world itself ain't looking so random anymore and it seems to be shaping into a decent sci-fi of sorts. If the show gets a half-decent plot it should be good, though I'm sure some people would just still watch it anyway,

Why? Your average shows main plot kicks in around that time usually anyway after the world and characters have been a bit more formally introduced. Sounds like standard operating procedure to me as opposed to something to be apprehensive about. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2011-10-12 at 14:09. |

Reviews, at least the ones that throw a number at the end, are pretty dumb in general...
Don't care, as long as it's funny. It's pretty hard to pull stunts like this off and make me laugh, since I'm the pretty hard headed, but this episode managed so hopefully the show can keep up the act. Don't go there, and never will. It's like some kind of troll network of mindless banter and horny teens. Not my cup of tea. Quote:
BTW why are you typing double spaces? You know this is HTML and two or more spaces get converted to one right? There's a way to get double-space after period but it's kind of pointless really. The only time you want double spaces is when your font sucks, and we're well past that age. Just let the habit die already.

http://kyoukaisen.tumblr.com/ I suggest we all take a look at that, he even translated the Far East Lesson 1 vid from the official site. Also, at this rate of posting and increasing of the thread view count, this seems on track to get its own sub-forum. That would be extremely helpful for sorting out info.

I got the feeling that for "decent" they have this standard: Spoiler for decent:
Onto the fun side of things, For some reason, I can totally imgine Kimi (I mean Belfiore) onee-chan asking Toori to seize her breast and give his judgement, with it being not incestuous at all. Both are so beyond limits that an act like that could be just everyday´s routine. Not to say everything is so over the top. Could it be the first time I saw in an anime a pervert mecha like Kishonari (well except for Masamune Shirow cyborgs), but hey! This guy looks plain robotic! I bet the writer of Horizon plays Disgaea in his spare time, that is, if he has any time to spare! And poor Masazumi, indeed! Not so for her past, but she is one of the few flatchested girls in this era, and happens to be probably in love with a breast grabbing, LN obsessed guy like Toori. That s a source of drama! Very strangely, nowadays fast action-paced, flamboyant animated episodes ones seems to be not so popular as episodes with boring people talkin with hardly any animation in it... |

NO, it's just "good episodes" versus "bad episodes". Fighting or no fighting doesn't make any difference on whether an episode is good or bad; it's merely a presentation prop that's sometimes necessary. If the studio did that fighting sequence last episode for this purpose then all I can say is they gracefully failed to get any point across, since it was all pretty deaf plot wise.

Some kind of eroge-addiction and because he's a hentai as I understand it.
Aside from groping and telling everyone else what to do, it would seem he has no power whatsoever. Quote:
Just fair warning, when you understand it, you'll actually understand it even less then you do now. Quote:
I would feel bad watching his character and not using it...

I still find it hard to see the resemblence. Jokes in Disgaea are far less indiscreet. Yes there's lots of slapstick comedy but it's very classy slapstick comedy most of the time, not like in this show.

To accomodate 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 begins to spread when the Testament stops revealing what happens next after 1648. Taking advantage of this situation, Tori 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. Taken from Wikipedia. And, no, I have no idea how re-enacting history is supposed to solve anything, but in the context of this fictional universe, the inhabitants believe it, so I'll just accept that it's a fundamental law of how their world works. Also, there's an interview somewhere where they say the story doesn't really start until episode 4. So enjoy the fanservice for now I guess.

I think they're doing a fine job, they're telling you the information straightforward. The explanations aren't incomplete, they just tell the details as they fit in the context of the conversation they're having. As for the terminologies, they explained them in the class explanation as well (if you're talking about the references to the Divine and Harmonic states). Rather than the anime not doing a good job of explaining, I just think people zone-out in the middle of the infodumps and cease attempting to pay attention to what's being said.
