As for sakai he's the headmaster so it would make sense if he has some authority to the musashi, although it feels like musashi has some feelings to him. |

So after dragging myself away from BF3, MW3 and Uncharted 3(>_<) I finally watched the ep!
Now coming back to this series after last ep, it still makes me a sad puppy thinking about the demise of my beloved Kazuno~ but this ep opened on a good note as it gave me, my Musashi!(it's like they we're reading my mind and wanted to cheer me up!) I tell ya, her design is as plain jane maid as it gets yet still totally awesome. Now I had been wonder if Sakai would fill a role I haven't really seen since FMA and that is epic old geezer, not in the Honda's way, he's obvious epic old geezer but the more subtle kind, like Bradley and Fu. This ep gave a little hope it will happen(altho I've already asked about this in the LN thread) I think it's a good time to say I totally love the classroom banter, it works under odd and even melodramatic circumstances that is testiment to the studio's work on this. Like how Shiro jumps at the chance for making big bucks and then everyone calling him the worst, humor that worked for me Suzu's back story was one that pulls at the heart strings, very touching indeed. I do believe Suzu is the first girl without a face I could consider "cho kawaii!" And hows that, asking your teacher to help you empty your gauge lol. Kinda like moments of watching hentai And who would have thought that a episode that consisted mostly of classroom shenanigans would be quite so entertaining. 6 eps in and I'm still totally loving this series! Brilliant stuff! Quote:
Would just make Sakai seem even more bad ass than he seemlingly is

For all that I've been ragging on about Guilty Crown, I'm afraid that Horizon is worse - a lot worse. My main complaint isn't about the story being incomprehensible (which it largely is without referring to outside information) or that there are too many characters (which is sort of true as well). Instead, the problem is that it's extremely poorly told. Much of the substance of the episodes serve to undermine the overall quality of the work rather than to strengthen it.
A case in point is the narrative in episode 6. Episode 5 ended on the series' highest point so far, with the feeling that things have irrevocably changed, and that there's imminent danger. A properly told narrative would be to capitalize on the tension built up and create a sense of urgency, panic and an overall heightened pace. What we get here is the very opposite: nothing really happens in the episode and characters mostly talk about their feelings. My feeling is that this isn't entirely the fault of the creators. The original story seems to be extremely inappropriate to adapt into a 30-minute episode format. Whatever, the end result isn't very good.

Take note that Steins;Gate also has a terminology section, but it is fortunate enough to have a linear plot compared to Horizon's multi-POV day-by-day account of the events in the novels.

That delicate balance is difficult to attain in adaptations, and the only way to judge whether an adaptation is well-adapted is too subjective to apply in every single series.

This episode is pretty much explained about the consequences if they attack testament union without thinking and how to solve that. They all want to save horizon but dont have concrete way to do so, hence they hold the discussion because what they want to do will affect the far east. |

The problem with Toori is his dumbass character. Dunno how he became the Chanceler. Shirojiro fits it better.
And there are a lot of different characters in this class , hope they'll develop all of them , yes i want to hear Nenji's story |

i would recommend anyone who still not quite sure of the story to re-watch the first 6 eps. It makes a lot sense now then before.

Look at the end of episode 5. It promised that there was going to be absolute chaos ahead, with war and conflict and so on. A good follow up would have been to show the various nations preparing for war, or some sort of desperation or some validation for what had occurred in that episode. However, the first real scene in the episode 6 proper is an old guy sitting on a patio. This serves to drain any tension that had been achieved for little purpose. Seriously, would the narrative have been hurt in any way if this episode had been skipped altogether? Quote:
Both Guilty Crown and Horizon have their strengths: Guilty Crown is better at the actual storytelling part so that it's easy to see where the characters stand, the lead up of events, and so forth. Horizon is better at tonal separation (for the most part) so that its serious scenes have some dramatic weight and the silly scenes are appropriately absurd. However, neither is a good show because of their other shortcomings.

Personally, I like Horizon better than GC. At some point, I just got sick of the usual archetypal characters and predictable story line. I am not trying to refute anyone's view but it is interesting to see how subjective this argument is. 4Tran sees "it's easy to see where the characters stand, the lead up of events" as a strength while I perceive is a weakness because it just makes the story plain. Horizon may not be top notch adaptation and it has definite flaws like difficult comprehension, but I still enjoy watching it. Edit: I also agree the with the current story telling, Horizon has little to hold its reader as interesting, but there is also a vast amount of unexplored materials.
More on-topic... I would kill for the next episode. Toori grabbing Suzu's breast makes me very jealousy.
