Episode 1 was definitely a huge chaotic mess. I can't say I can praise the introduction and setup, considering how they went fullforce with the characters.
That said, past the issue with all the crapload of things thrown at us, Horizon certainly has a large variety in terms of characters and potential in the lot... If only the design wasn't so bipolar (female characters being either flat as iron board, or carrying watermelons as chest). While design is a bit simple, they definitely poured a lot of efforts for the animation in general, and the sheer impression of large space (and this is only one part of Musashi, as far as I could get). But the most noticeable strength of this series is the sheer amount of talented Seiyuu. I can't imagine the lion share of the budget being used up for this, but it is definitely not frugal in that department. Not entierely free of flaws, it was certainly entertaining as a first episode, and as I basically have no knowledge of the original source and its author, I hope it will have some ambitious stuff behind all of this.

I found correct they have made the first episode to show first the characters, after the world outline. It was going to lose the focus show the characters little by little.
Well, the animation was not top, but it was good. However, when the boxes fall under the characters, the wreckage are reached and turn smaller wreckage instead of alone smoke or vanish like in other anime. In other words, the animation cannot seem wonderful, but it is rich in small details. Last edited by Oryon; 2011-10-05 at 21:37. Reason: Extra comment |

This must be the first show that main chars' position in relationship chart are so far away
.There are 2 girls I don't remember seeing in bottom left of Toori's group. Also, there is one vacant slot in his group, too. There will be more character to be introduce later on? And I might say it already, but I'm digging the 8 captain girls of the ship  .P.S: translated relationship charts would be appreciated  .

Episode 01
Like Klashi, this be another one of my Fall 2011 must-watch series that I know nothing about. Heck, I've only seen previews for 2 shows this season
What drew me to this series? Naw, that Fall 2011 Chart didn't help, it's thanks to CrowKenobi and that post to the Nyantype/Megami posters, and I saw the Kyoukai Horizon poster, and let me say it here I became an absolute fan of girls in bodysuits after Infinite Stratos, and in this series that became my main prerogative. Until I saw Sensei. Man, I love that girl. Maybe because she had the most involvement in this episode, but for some reason my chest tightens whenever I see her, and that voice discarding my confusion over why she wears that tiny shirt over her bodysuit, but I guess what won me over in this ep was the large portion of girls in bodysuits, man I'm losing blood fast and I have no idea where it's going, down or out And I laughed when she got groped. I hear that was uncensored in a preview, or is that that magazine scan that I saw recently? Whatever, half my brain went on a tirade over the sudden bright fog that showed up and the other half of my brain wished I was the one doing the act Now... I get this strange feeling I might not see much of Sensei in the latter eps... why do I get these kind of feelings these days? Maybe it's because I was crushed by the lack of Airi Bounce in Ro-Kyu-Bu, or the lack of Rabbit pantsu in Mayo Chiki, or... Quote:
Now as it stands I like all the girls who are in bodysuits  Ok if I were to narrow it down, it's gotta be Sensei, Kimi-chan and Christmas Lights-eyed girl Asama-chan Seriously Kimi-chan, that hair XDBy the way I am a little helter skelter, in case you didn't notice but what is Sensei's name? I'm.... not exactly sane to remember that if that was even uttered in the episode

And, yes, while I liked the "sensei", I doubt she'll be a major character seeing as she's not one of the students.

.But can't say I am not guilty about that. I like the yuri Dizzy couple, too. Btw, when I was watching the promo, I always had an impression that the ninja dude is actually a girl based on this scene :  Now I am patiently waiting for this lovely loli, which appeared briefly at the beginning of 1st ep

Now, can someone tell me whether or not Naomasa is important at all? She didn't seem to get much more than a crate falling from the sky in the way of character introductions. I mean, at least the Indian guy said something.
"Curry! It's hot!" So, really. I take a liking to her, so I'd be a little disappointed if she weren't in any way a worthwhile character.

Of course, it was probably also in the credits too. And something helpful to understand all of the characters is to visit the official website's character page. It as all of the students and some of the other characters that appeared in the first episode. (Wonder if they plan to update it as the many new characters that briefly showed up get properly introduced...) "Oriotorai" Makiko, by the way.

Unless all the typical database sites are wrong, Shiraishi Ryoko plays Makiko-sensei. Plus, it sounds like Shiraishi Ryoko. Just run a recent episode of Sket Dance and listen to Himeko if you really want confirmation.
