Anyway as for Luke....not the best example of character development in my eyes having played the game. It's sort of like he swings from one side of the pendulum in the first act (total whiny douche) to the other side at the beginning of the second (meek self deprecating loser) only to finally settle down near the end of the second and beginning of the third into something inbetween that's not quite as extreme, making for a character that stuck me as bipolar in the long run. To this day I've never seen another character developed like that and I'm kind of thankful since I found him annoying in both incarnations he had before the final stretch of the game. And I think Tales of The Abyss would have sold as much regardless btw. |

Isn't the setting supposed to be centered around European 30 years war? Why the hell is the Soviet Union slapped on there? Communism waset even conceived at the time. I see this as just another display of Japanese fascination with Soviets.

you can hear Fukujun's voices as Toori Aoi in PV#1 long and PV#2 - Toori Version
and Minorin's voices as Horizon in PV #1 long and PV#2 - Horizon Version... the other casts? well there are a lot of noticeable names in the cast (eg: Ami Koshimizu, Miyuki Sawashiro, Marina Inoue, etc2) so I won't worry about it too much...

Baka-tsuki's not willing to translate the novels as of this moment.
With the skills I have, we're going to encounter several "historical figures". There's people from the time of Oda Nobunaga, Pope Innocentius X, King Philip II of Spain, King Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire, Queen Elizabeth I of England, King Louis XIV of France, etc., etc.

I'm trying to find about the setting as much as I can, since obviously they won't be able to cramp all of those into the anime, and I don't really want to miss them.

More cast info from the official site:
Honda Masanobu: Yuuji Takada Konishi: Nobuyuki Kobushi Blue Thunder's shopkeeper: Miho Yamada Matsudaira Motonobu: Sho Hayami Honda Tadakatsu: Naomi Kusumi Kazuno: Ryoko Shintani Galileo: Tsuyoshi Koyama Hassan: Daisuke Ono = I think this wasn't announced yet. Now we have the cast of almost all important characters for this first season. I'm wondering why only Sakakibara was left out... Anyway, I really want to hear OnoD's characters now. It'll be very different from the image I have of him |

As much as I'm looking forward to this series, I can't help but feel puzzled by Sunrise's decision to adapt Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon into anime. The novels are still on-going, and I'm getting an impression that there's a lot more volumes on the way. Eventually Sunrise's going to be forced to go for either an anime-only ending (which usually doesn't end well), or end the series on a neutral tone and wait for more source material to come out (like what happened to the original HxH anime).
If Sunrise was going to adapt Minoru Kawakami's work into anime, why didn't it go for Owari no Chronicle? It's a (very distant) prologue to this series as the author created a large and complex universe (more about the series in this thread http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=90619 ), and has some elements that would make it easier for adaption to anime as opposed to the Horiozn: - has significantly smaller main and supporting cast; I fear that the Horizon anime might not fare well in developing its large and diverse cast, like what happened in Angel Beats! anime. - takes place in more contemporary setting (early 21st century), while Horizon takes place in very distant future and very few sci-fi anime taking place in distant future has fared well, if memory serves me correctly. - and most importantly, it's FINISHED series. Much easier time planning out the story progression if you already know how it ends. |
