![]() …of course, the feasibility of this storytelling technique will depend very much on the source material (which I must confess that I know very little of) whether the original plot in the books actually involved the story’s many characters in a proactive manner. What I mean is this: They should craft the story in such a way that many characters get a chance to play major roles, and through that they are fleshed out and developed. One possible way they could go about reconciling the huge (and apparently soon to grow exponentially, according to Divine) cast is by incorporating character development into the plot. Starting strong with an awesome chase/fight scene paired up with just a hint of what the story is hiding to really make you start drooling for more, I’m excited to follow along and discover what this show has to offer. ![]() ![]() In the mean time, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon doesn’t disappoint. Who is this Aoi Toori and just what importance does he serve? What does this his confession have anything to do with the state of his peers? If this is Horizon, why does everyone believe she’s dead?

From the intricate spell circles ( or would technology circles suit it better?) to the huge variances in everyone’s outfits, it’s refreshing to know that each character got some thought put into them judging by how unique their outfits are. I’m sure that everything would have been just as exciting with lesser known seiyuu but having top notch voices really amps things up.Īt the same time, the quality of the animation and the art style are so detailed and pretty that even if there are drops throughout the season, the bar has been set so high that even half-assing it would look great. With such a strong cast comprised of not only Fukuyama Jun, Chihara Minori, Ono Daisuke, and Shiraishi Ryoko but a dozen more popular names it’s almost like listening to a symphony. If you were listening closely, I wouldn’t be surprised if you were able to pick out a handful ( if not more) seiyuu. ![]() If you didn’t notice, they spent a grand total of about a minute on the backstory and packed in a ton of action and character introduction into the other twenty five.įor a first episode, I was not disappointed. While the lure for me was originally a disgustingly deep story that’s supposed to be impossible to adapt, I’m not quite sure if I’ll need that to keep watching this show. I came into this expecting to be overwhelmed with jargon and not knowing just who or what I should be paying attention to. “Those Standing Before the Boundary Line” 「境界線前の整列者達」 ( Kyoukaisen Mae no Seiretsu Monotachi)
