Before anything else, I must say a lot of characters are historically based, so really if you want to KINDA GUESS what happen to them, you can find their historical counterparts on wiki and read about them (it's quick, decent historical read if nothing else).
Which also means stay away if you don't want spoilers (obvious reminder I know). Quote:
This is Honda Futayo. This is Gin (those sexy arms @__@), based on Tachibana Ginchiyo, whom you can also wiki along with Tachibana Muneshige, the blonde dude wielding the huge one armed weapon. And you're right about the old man being Tadakatsu. Also ... Horizon in a swimsuit is strangely weird (why the heck is the entire Dengeki lineup all lolis besides Horizon /facepalm). |

Also Tadekatsu Honda? As in the defender of Mikawa and retainer of Tokugawa Honda? There's a character based on him in the show? Anyway characters continue to just look like modernized Mamoru Nagano art. Moreseo his sense of fashion as opposed to the way he actually draws characters. |

There are also characters outside of Japan history too, like Philip II, Pope Innocent X, Rudolf II of Austria, Elizabeth I, Louis XIV, Nicholas Bacon, Albrecht von Wallenstein, Ben Jonson etc. to name a few. These are all the characters referenced by name. The whole list + the non-referenced/inferred are quite long ... around 52 characters total up until the latest volume? His previous work, Owari no Chronicle is based on all the major mythologies in the world too so ... |

There's an interview that came out a few days ago, and thanks to 飞鸟·阿尔契亚@TB I was able to get a decent translation of the key points.
Couple Things:
My intention of posting this hopefully people will give this a chance before passing it off as a fanservice based story (like all my other posts!!!). Since people who are turned off by the trailers probably won't be following this thread anyway, so spread the words! I personally think the series is going in a good direction if the director (and therefore the team) is awared of the competition (ex: powerhouses like Fate/Zero and LastExile), and it's nice he's keeping his "battle spirits" high. Obviously the interview is to promote the series, not everything should be taken at face value, but people should try at least 3-4 episodes (given the series' expected length) before passing this as another IS—though obviously enjoying the two together for the same reasons is A-ok too~ |

And don't worry about it not getting noticed, if it's good it will get noticed.

^ Works that are considered to be made into an anime but ultimately are not aren't made public.
Anyway, I still don't understand what he means by "they wanted to do a story other companies couldn't". Could someone familiar with the light novel explain exactly why other studios wouldn't be able to produce Horizon?

There is no translation for this one and probably no one would dare to translate that thick book. If someone planned to do so. His a living hero

Other difficult thing to animate is the different fighting styles that are present in Horizon. We have people who use magic (not in the convencional way), people who fight writing, people who fight with hammers, swords, spear-like weapons, people who "fight" dancing, ninjas, samurais, etc... And we have battles in the air, inside the water, between ships, mechas, economic and political negotiations too. And there are a lot of little details just like stuopdiget said. Besides the acelerácion and the Kimi-nee scene, in the second PV there was the "SchieBerei" switching to "Herrlich" in the sign-frame of Marga/Naruze and the SUWA on the sign-frame of Noriki. I don't think that there is another studio (staff) crazy enough to animate all of this while mantaining a nice quality besides Sunrise. |
