>>20390457
at least seem like happy ending and Genki Horizon seems like a Miracle

>>20390500
Well that's what people on twitter has been saying for now, it is a happy ending after destroying the ether moon but who knows if there is a drawback from what they did.

>>20390847
I've seen the same on other places but ffs what the fuck happened.

Also i saw the illustrations and some spoilers about Musashi being a wife??? maybe i didn't understood the post.

There were criticisms of this figurine, but if you ask me, they`ve nailed the most important aspect.

This thread is an absolute trainwreck. Can we just let it fall off the board? Thanks.

>>20392106
The previous thread is 2 blocks down buddy, you got the wrong door. Nobody here is complaining or trashtalking like the end of the previous one.

You know what sucks? Suzu never got a piece of the cake.

>>20393848
She works in a bathouse.

>>20393692
Lewding Suzu feels wrong

>>20394090
What if she lewds herself?

Posting best girl!

>>20394090
Quiet girls are the wildest anon.

>>20394796
Suzu serviced more dicks than anybody else in class Plum, I can tell you that.

>>20394814
You know is kinda disappointing that either Suzu or Kimi never got anyone that the reader can consider a possible "couple".

Suzu maybe can get paired with Toori if we take in consideration that Katagiri exist and we know that there will be future kids but on Kimi's situation we have ZERO, Null, nulla chances to ever read something that shows her with someone else.

>>20395511
There's still the possibility of a "Kimi's bizarre adventure"-spinoff in the future.

Also, Kawakami seems to be siphoning from Satoyasu's drawing powers.

>>20395708

>>20395715
Hey this one isn't bad, it looks much better than other abominations kawakami spawned on his twitter.

>>20395708
She even does stands already.

We already got Bitches' pictures and js06 probably got his copy already but Dengeki finally decided to upload the preview:

https://dengekibunko.jp/books/1812hrizon11-3/?page=1

I like this illustration, it has the right amount of skin and thicc, also a nice balance of her eroticism while being cool at the same time.

Kawakami only gave her 2 costumes in the mobile game, right? is there an image rip of it somewhere?

>>20396138
I grabbed a dump of all the images on the O2F twitter if you're interested in that

>>20396317
Yeah thhat was the point they noticed people were not playing the game and instead getting the pictures from twitter.

>>20396365
I get the feeling that this was drawn by Satoyasu together with the two Lesbian Witches Illustration.

I wonder if there's a wiki somewhere with a gallery on it.

Do we have anything like HO or NT coming soon?
Asking to know when we can expect some new chapters.

Nice!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did they just put up a second release of the full boxset?

https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=450742

>>20400423
Yes,

>二次予約分

>>20400467
Does that mean it might not come with some of the extras?

>>20400539
As far as I can see it you'll still get that last volume side story exclusive to the store.
The other side story exclusive to the box.
And the complete card binder.

But that's google, better wait for someone who can read it.

EDGE confirmed?

>>20400739
NEXT BOX seems to be a sequel of some sort to Horizon, while On a Planet Without Gods should be a short story or short series published online.

>>20400823
Online for sure? Neat.
Let's just hope it's not in the magazine again like Hexennacht.

>>20400855
It will be published on kakuyomu, which seems a online reader for light novel?

>>20401028
Yeah, the page where Kawakami posts those little stories about Horizon.

Got a Source on that? Looks dope af

>https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054885551466

>>20401610
There's summaries for these on js06's twitter.

>>20401028
Nice.

Whatever Kawakami does after Horizon I hope he doesn't use EDGE for short stories or shit like that, this is the most important era in kawakami universe because is the moment when the Foundation world change and stop existing thanks to the war in the heavens.

>>20401713
Him doing short stories in EDGE probably won't stop him from setting a multi-volume series there eventually. It's not like Obstacle Overture precluded Hexennacht from being set in Obstacle.

Worth reading?

>>20391463
Correction to my mail, it may actually be the 24th.

>>20401862
Don't think we would have recurring threads if we didn't think it was.

>>20401862
>I can't decide for myself so I need someone else telling me what to do
Go and read it, if you like it stay if not whatever.

>>20402315
I still didn't finish owari chornicle though

>>20401804
Is there any link between Obstacle Overture and Hexennacht? I mean... is it one of the many world Kagami's sister created?

Don't have enough money right now. Will it still be avaiable after Jan 20th. i really want the bonus

>>20402321
Then finish OnC before reading Horizon. A lot of details from OnC are going to click on your head when you start with Horizon, in fact some of the technological elements on Horizon and how things work will be a bit confusing without that basis.

>>20402520
The big box with all volumes? Probably not, it already sold out once and is accepting second reservations.
If you're lucky they may make more.

>>20402542
Demmmmmmmm hope untill 20/1 i get enough money
Well there is still hope for Kadokawa re-release it in future anniversary

Is there any changes to the projected sales of the bd box? I remember it was pretty high

>>20403475
At its peak shortly after the previews dropped the predictions (of one of the sites at least) were hovering around 30-40k, but after it fell out of the amazon top 10 again to where it's sitting now the predictions have been steady for a combined ~10k standard and exclusive edition.

Where do I start with Kawakami? Owari no Chronicle or something else?

>>20404068
It doesn't make that much of a difference. If you start with OnC and continue into Horizon you'll have a better understanding of certain things but if you do the reverse you'll still gain the same understanding except retroactively.
Personally I started with the Horizon anime, then the LNs up to vol 3-4, at which point I took a break to read OnC. Actually following the anime without having read the LNs can be a bit troublesome, but if you use your brain or ask here it's alright.

>>20403660
That's ridiculous, those many sales for a BD-box of a six year old anime?

>>20404068
I think a lot of people would argue to start with the Horizon anime and move on to OnC and then the Horizon novel (because that was the order it was all translated in and it worked well for them). Personally I think you could start anywhere, and if you find one of his works interesting you'll probably like the rest as well. None of it relies heavily on any of the other series.

>>20404068
Depends on what you're looking for.

If you want continuity in terms of how the world went from one point to another, go and read OnC first. Owari offers the settings of the Foundation world and why evolved in the current one, you're going to see a writing similar to Horizon but at the same time you're going to feel like Kawakami wanted to do more with OnC, blame the editor for that.

The main point of OnC is that you're going to have one of the best MCs ever, Sayama is just amazing on every way and team leviathan is crazy so you're going to enjoy this from the beginning to the end.

Now, if you're a casual, watch the anime and then read Horizon, or even better skip the anime and just read Horizon. The anime itself is pretty good but the problem is that there was so much material and Sunrise couldn't put all of it on the anime, crucial details are missing and that's why you must read Horizon since the very beginning without skipping anything.

After OnC and Horizon read CITY, this one is different, is like a different kawakami mainly because this was published 20+ years ago. Is confusing at the start because you're jumping in a world that's incredibly complex but belive me and this is coming from one of the few who have read it, everything makes sense at the end.

The order of the universe is:
>Forth
>Ahead = OnC
>EDGE
>Genesis = Horizon
>Obstacle = Hexennacht
>CITY
If you want to follow the order is up to you but I recommend to do it this way.

Did it end with harem + incest?

>>20405579
Does birthing your brother’s lovechild with another woman count as incest?

Who is the chat name Tsurugi that shows up to talk with the Speers occasionally?

>>20405579
The only harem is Toori/Horizon/Asama/Nate my virgin friend who only cares about that.

Also no, there wasn't incest.

>>20405635
>He doesn't read the first few pages of the volume

Finished reading 11-C, so here's an extremely abridged summary:
Destiny (using Nobunaga's appearance) shows up at Westphalia and shows off the dragons, gods of war, and "fortunate" versions of people that everyone will have to fight if they try to stop Destiny's suicide.
The harem splits Toori into multiple copies to have sex with him.
Once the full moon at the end of December arrives, the Musashi, the Yamato, and the other nations' fleets fly to the 2nd moon to confront destiny.
They are stopped by the "fortunate" versions of themselves, which are what they would be if destiny had been on their side and everything in their life had always worked out for them.
Many a character arc is completed in these battles and the "unfortunate" versions (the real versions) emerge victorious for a variety of different reasons. Usually stemming from the idea that the "unfortunate" parts of life help you grow.
They confront Destiny at the 2nd moon, invite her to come to Musashi, and convince her to release Nobunaga who is still alive, but Destiny still insists on dying.
They link the Logismoi Oplo to the Musashi's main cannon and fire a special shell that Matsunaga had prepared for precisely this purpose before he died, but Destiny blocks it.
Just when it seems all hope is lost, it turns out Oriotri's sword is actually a version of that shell she made in the future after future-Musashi lost because they didn't have it.
Destiny prevents Horizon and Toori from pressing the "fire" button unless every single intelligent life form chooses the "I want to live" option on a sign frame sent to them all.
After everyone chooses the "I want to live", Destiny reveals it was rigged because she gets to vote too, but Azuma has ??? answer for her since ??? is a possible future for Destiny.
They blow up the 2nd moon, which applies an "update" to Destiny to fix everything (although she insists she will overcome the update and choose suicide again) and Miriam reappears.
In the ethery aftermath, Horizon and Toori get a brief chance to speak with Motonobu who reveals that the s of P-01s stood for "sentiment".
Miriam and Azuma give ??? the name Sein, all the other Princess Disappeared people are thought to have reappeared but not all of them have been found yet, the Testament updates for the next 100 years, and Class Plum and the rest of the world can look to the future once more.
Kawakami's plan is to release a new series while also releasing Horizon spinoffs or prequels/sequels about Toori's group. He says he already had a plan for what happens next in the story from the very beginning.

>>20405731
Thanks, as always.

>>20405715
Tsurugi isn't listed there.

>>20405731
That was fast. Thanks!
What did they do with the 4 divine gods of war in the end?

>>20405731
A few questions Js06.

Basically Nobunaga is on Musashi now or she's gone?
Why the girls split toori and is there any of them pregnant?
It is 100% sure that after these 100 years everything would be alright?
Did everyone finally started to settle outside Japan using the gate?

Thanks for your summary as always.

>>20405793
They created the "path" used to reach the 2nd moon.

>>20405805
>Basically Nobunaga is on Musashi now or she's gone?
She is presumably with Musashi now, but the epilogue doesn't say.

>Why the girls split toori and is there any of them pregnant?
They were testing a spell. Nothing about pregnancy is mentioned.

>It is 100% sure that after these 100 years everything would be alright?
Not 100%, but the Testament updating is a sign that the Apocalypse is no longer happening.

>Did everyone finally started to settle outside Japan using the gate?
That's the plan.

>>20405832
Just a small favor. The name seemed to first show up in volume 6 very rarely.
>>20405635
>>20405783

>20405711
U forget Suzu

>>20405731
A more personal thing, what do you think about the ending of Horizon, it was a proper one in your opinion?

>>20405839
That's Hirano, Asama's daughter. Because she belongs to the Tsurugi Shrine.

>>20405851
It was a great ending. I almost always love Kawakami's endings. The epilogues are usually frustratingly short, though.

>>20405857
Who's the haremettes that split him apart? Horizon, Tomo and Nate?

Anybody have the latest mediafire link? Lost mine in a crash and my paranoid refusal to sync my bookmarks to an online account, searching "mediafire" in archives just gives a billion things.

>>20406140
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/2ea1fmakzaem2

>>20404068
I'd recommend OnC first because unlike Horizon, it's fully translated. But it doesn't matter THAT much. Just don't start with Hexennacht, it will give you the wrong impression about all of this.

>>20405925
Thats a stupid question, they are the only members of the harem since the very beginning.

>>20405562
I think I'll try out the universe order considering that FORTH is only 2 books and OnC is right afterwards

Someone actually bought them

>>20407904
Why not? I'd have bought a lot more than four if I were there.

>>20407904
I would buy the school uniform one

>>20407904
what the fuck.

>>20405731
What's Fortunate versions like? are they puppets or have free will that interact their unfortunate selves? what's Fortunate Futayo like? Is she called Honda Tadakatsu and still carrying her father's Tonbokiri?is there a sex gag between her and Futayo?

>>20407858
>>20376018
Horizon underwears are a mystery to me, are they like pasties or are they wearing g-strings?

They have a blessing that conveniently hides their anus like how they breasts go "boing" when they bounce as their offering to the god of eroticism, right?

>>20408003
I want an Epilogue with the new adventures of Genki Horizon

>>20408003

>https://twitter.com/kawakamiminoru/status/1072905002379698176

Ughhh

>>20401890
Got it.

One thing I forgot to mention was the "fortunate" versions had an unfair advantage because Destiny gave them the full set of Testamenta Arma to use.

Also, the toughest fortunate version to bring down was Kimi's. Horizon called her "more of a final boss than the final boss".

>>20408003
They have free will, although Destiny seemed to have given them the preconception that the unfortunate versions needed to be eliminated. Some of the victories were more about proving yourself worthy than actually destroying your fortunate version.

Futayo's did have the Tadakatsu name and Tonbokiri. In the fortunate world, both Tadakatsu and his wife never died (Fortunate Futayo didn't know who Kazuno was) and Tadakatsu had given Futayo the name and Tonbokiri once he deemed her worthy.

>>20409568
>the toughest fortunate version to bring down was Kimi's
How so?

>>20409568
There were fortunate versions of everyone then? What about Toori, Horizon, Nate, Asama, Tenzou, Mary, Uqui and the rest?

>>20409741
Wasn't she the flower at the peak of summit or something? like you can't touch her unless she permits it and she has protection as long as she offers her blessing to her god, I think her god is the god of eroticism and dance, that means as long as she shows off skin and continues dancing, she's nigh untouchable and her god won't permit hindrances to her performance?

Can't find a video of Futayo and Kimi's fight, have this MAD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgcwCOrD0r4

>>20409809
That's just normal Kimi, He was asking about the other one.

>>20409568
>Futayo's did have the Tadakatsu name and Tonbokiri. In the fortunate world, both Tadakatsu and his wife never died (Fortunate Futayo didn't know who Kazuno was) and Tadakatsu had given Futayo the name and Tonbokiri once he deemed her worthy.

I can't wait for Volume 11C to get translated, I wanna read her fight against her fortunate self.

Also, what happened to SPEERS? How was Nori-chan and Kiyomassive's wedding?

>>20409741
She could summon Amaterasu with her dance, plus general Kimi-ness.

>>20409779
Only those whose fortunate versions were fighters. For example, there wasn't one of Noriki and he speculated his fortunate version was born a girl and lived a happy life after marrying Ujinao (who would have beenborn a boy and never had to be automaton-ized).

Toori and Horizon's were briefly seen on fortunate Musashi as it went down, but they didn't directly join the fight. Fortunate Kimi said her brother was a swordsman, though.
Nate's was a version that had always been on good terms with her mother and could always do the werewolf transformation.
Asama's was a version that could be honest about her feelings and ended up in a (sexual) relationship with Toori starting in middle school. This revelation led to many chat messages of "sasuga Asama".
Tenzou's was there assisting Mary's, but it didn't really get into what the difference was there.
Mary's had a different fighting style due to differences in her past, but (if I'm remembering right) those differences were more implied than stated.
Uqui's lived in a world where elder sister stories always have good endings and they got in a fight over whether bad endings should be allowed or not.

>>20409926
The SPEERs joined Musashi and were working with them throughout.
No wedding yet. Maybe in a sequel.

>>20410311
>summon Amaterasu with her dance

Wow. That's pretty last boss. As expected of Kimi, I guess.

>>20410311
That sound really fun. Thank you.

>>20410311
It's another Kawakami Tsirchmas miracle.

>>20410311
>actual fighter Toori
I want that a lot.

>>20410311
>Toori and Horizon's were briefly seen on fortunate Musashi as it went down, but they didn't directly join the fight. Fortunate Kimi said her brother was a swordsman, though.

wait, so Fortunate selves didn't return to their fortunate timeline after it was over, but got tricked by Destiny to fight for her and also went down in the fight?

idk if I should be happy, I mean even if Destiny returns them, their timeline would get trimmed and end in Apocalypse anyway. I hope they're happy seeing the unfortunate selves defy the odds and pass the obstacles.

>>20410499
They're not actually from some other timeline. They're just temporary ether beings created by Destiny to defend herself. Their "past" and their "world" don't actually exist.
It's a hypothetical scenario created by Destiny on the (very faulty) assumption that her enemies can't defeat a fortunate version of themselves.

>>20410570
Different anon here with some doubts.

You mentioned that the ether moon was destroyed after musashi, toori and Horizon shoot this moon and now it's remains are surrounding the planet but to do this the ship actually went into space?
In political terms, for now what's going to happen with the recreation of the Testament, with this I mean if everyone in the world dropped this idea that people needs to lose their life or die to fulfill these interpretations?
Another detail that is missing, maybe you know about it, FutayoXMasazumi is confirmed or we still have no idea?
And last one, what's the status of Toori and his harem in terms of power? this is based on what we know that he's some sort of god and that now Asama and Nate need to met certain conditions to use their power.

>>20410311
>Summon Ammy
Awoo.

>>20410311
>This revelation led to many chat messages of "sasuga Asama".

Sasuga.

>Uqui's lived in a world where elder sister stories always have good endings and they got in a fight over whether bad endings should be allowed or not.

pfffff

They should tho, it builds depth on the characters.

>>20395511
Didn't Suzu literally confess in 1-A

Dont die

I almost can't believe the OVA is only a week away now. Feels like it hasn't been that long since the announcement and previews.

>>20411000
>the ship actually went into space?
Not really since the 2nd moon was located a lot closer to earth than the normal moon. It was just high up in the atmosphere.

>In political terms, for now what's going to happen with the recreation of the Testament, with this I mean if everyone in the world dropped this idea that people needs to lose their life or die to fulfill these interpretations?
Musashi has made it clear they will interfere with and stop anyone who tries to force loss of life using the history recreation.

>Another detail that is missing, maybe you know about it, FutayoXMasazumi is confirmed or we still have no idea?
It was implied very, very heavily, but still not outright stated. Which I still find to be a weird choice on Kawakami's part, but whatever.

>And last one, what's the status of Toori and his harem in terms of power? this is based on what we know that he's some sort of god and that now Asama and Nate need to met certain conditions to use their power.
Toori basically has a more powerful version of his ether sharing spell and it affects Horizon, Asama, Nate, and Kimi more than others due to their close connection.

>>20415536
Thanks!

Thank god that Musashi decided to intervene with it, I remember this was one of the reasons why Destiny gave up on this world, after so much death. Also, agree on futayo and masazumi.

Kato Tatsuya has his box

>>20417538
I just hope amazon sends them out early. They didn't for the last volume so my hopes aren't that high.

>>20417806
I hope Gamers doesn't send them early.
I want to be paid before the courier turns up asking for the cash.

Do we have anyone providing subs for when the OVA comes out?

>>20418842
The box has English subs and I believe that includes the OVA as well.

>>20418842
Owari subs said they'd do it

>>20417538
He had his before everybody else, I'd imagine.

Waiting for the new BD box upload, scans and the episodes with new encode. Would be cool. (with the subs, or a remake of the old subs)

>>20420973
It's not that bad considering.
It's basically the limited edition BDs for about a third the cost.

I imagine genetic defects are pretty much a non-issue due to how advanced science is. Plus, there's magic.

Absolutely pathetic. One thing is what happened in the LN and other completely different is trying to push your virginal delusions my dear incel friend. Go back to "that" place, i know where you come from.

>>20424687
Putting the box set next to one volume really hammers home how huge it is. Kawakami's one hell of a writing automaton to put out so much.

>>20390457
Btw, how did Horizon returned her emotions?

Btw, how did Horizon return her emotions?

>>20428716
Are you serious?
Everyone who read the LN knows how since volume 1.

>>20429461
I mean, she stayed autistic until the end of the final volume and then suddenly started to smile here and there.

>>20430136
You have no idea what are you talking about. Read the LN instead of assuming things, horizon displayed emotions way before that, the only difference is the smile.

>>20430136
>>20430377
Adding on that, even if you only watched the anime, she literally fucking cried at the end when she got Lypē Katathlipsē, aka the weapon with an effect similar to Tombokiri.

Where do we get the information about the Party of Seven Hundred from? I'm having trouble remembering, but now I'm also wondering how much side material I should be searching through.

>>20431521
It's referenced a couple of times here:

https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?search=%22party+of+seven+hundred%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1

And in retrospect, the image on the third page of the History section of 1-A is pretty clearly about the Party of Seven Hundred:

https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Horizon:Volume_1A_History

>>20431913
Thanks, I ended up finding the more detailed stuff in the encyclopedia translations.

>>20432094
What does the encyclopedia say about them? For that matter, since when were there encyclopedia translations?

>>20432094
Is obvious that the encyclopedia is not going to contain all the information about it mainly because the knowledge about this topic comes from the times before Horizon, the latest just added more pieces of information to this, which means old LN readers will understand the whole picture.

That's why edge is so important.

>>20432330
What? I was under the impression that he still hadn't explicitly told that particular tale yet.
>>20432099
There's a few translations in a pastebin from just believe

>>20433649
Oh we know about the story, in fact there is a very old pastebin with it. The thing is, until we get edge we won't be able to tell the story with all the details because even in Horizon the characters don't know the whole story.

>>20427919
>Taking this much offense
From your response you're not even worth an an ad-hominem to take place, not mentioning that there was no debate nor argument for something of the ilk to take place.
You even use the word "Incelibate" incorrectly, though thats to be expected of a buzzword throwing normalfag who believes virginity to be an insult on a board that worships idols and touhou, with both of them being very symbols of Japanese virgin men. If you think harem and 1000+ times of sex are not "virginial fantasies" while incest is, then I'm sorry to burst your shitty bubble but its not and is perfectly plausible. You also severely underestimate how much of a madman Kawakami is by stating this, this, along with your buzzwords and "virginity insult" lead me to conclude that you are not from here, so promptly fuck off.

>>20433819
Your butthurt is hilarious Evi.
Told you to go back to that place where you already got btfo, only speak when you read this instead of pretending because you're failing so hard that is embarrasing just because you can't separate your delusions from reality.

>>20433882
>you must be someone else. That'll get him

Anyone ever think the English titles for these series could be better? It just seems to me that something like "The Closing Chronicle" and "Horizon Beyond The Horizon" have a better ring to them, even if they sound a bit cliché

>>20434368
Jap relationship with english is a weird one. They don't care if something is wrong grammar-wise or sounds weird as long as it is "cool".

>>20433649

>>20434368
I don't know if Owari no Chronicle even has an official English title. Regardless, I think "the Ending Chronicle" sounds okay which is what I've heard most people say.

Rips when?

>>20435135
Hopefully some jap rips it on the weekend
If not I'll do it when I get my box, but that might be after Christmas, depending on when they ship it
Same goes for the new CD that comes with it I guess

I don’t know what the “names to be blessed” part is about, but wouldn’t Marga and Margot’s names fall under that?

Yeah but the encyclopedia only named those.

The digital covers are up.
I'll put them in the MEGA later, for now:

That whole novel is set between chapter 15 and 16 of volume 11, right? Just want to make sure google isn't screwing with me.

>>20440863
10 double pages in a row at the beginning. That's going to be a lot of work.

>>20440927
50 percent of Naruze’s facial expressions are visual shitposts

>>20440863
Always two pages of summary for every full volume after the anime till volume 10 and the family page before the real deal? Really curious how Kawakami summarize it.

>>20441989
And that's why I love her.

anyone buying it?

Fucking hype

My order from Gamers is being prepped. Got tracking code already but hasn't been scanned.
If they ship tonight I might get it tomorrow.

Kimitoasamade GT comes with every version of the BD box set, right?

>>20444684
As far as I know it does

>>20444684
As the other anon said, yes. I think BVC store has an alternative cover for it, though.
The only exclusive store booklets are Animate and Amazon.

>>20444662
Still nothing from Amazon even though they ship mine to Central Europe.

>>20444974
You expect them to ship early?
You're lucky if Amazon ships on the day of release.

>>20445065
I was hoping they would do it, not really expecting it due to past experiences.
They usually did ship on release day, though.

We don't know yet how many pages it has, right?
Putting a 120 pages preview out which covers only the prologue and chapter one gives me a bit of hope for a lot but I'm uncertain.

>>20445582

>>20445718
Well, that's not very much. Makes me wonder why they put out such a huge PV.

Last minute stalker predictions:
8246 standard edition
2854 amazon limited edition

>>20445582
That cover, looks like a doujin.

>>20445955
You can see where Kawakami gets his inspiration from. Faced with such a madman, Satoyasu can only comply.

>>20445830
Pretty decent numbers for a 7 years old show.

>>20445718
What a disappointment.

>>20444646
>>20445582
It's happening.

The art looks great here. Why did only the cover illustrations get super deformed?

Now we wait for the ova rip to send us to nirvana

Did Owarisubs got their copy?

>>20446174
Whoa, that would be great even if it was an airing show, right?

>>20446595
Amazon hasn't started sending out internationally yet and I dont't know if any of the other stores even offer shipping outside of Japan.
Even if they did it would take until early next week at the very best.

>>20446647
Animate's international store has it as well and there are the obvious other stores like CDJapan.
But yeah, nobody outside of Japan will have it this week.

>>20446667
>and there are the obvious other stores like CDJapan
Oh right, I forgot about those. I assumed it would only be on the stores listed on the site.

>>20446595

Amazon said that it will be delivered between the 24th and January 2nd, I hope a BDMV rip will pop up in the next few days.
I wish we had the Technohexen delivery instead of a random guy from DHL.

Who's idea was it to put English subs on the release?

>>20450362
Sunrise.
They do it for a lot of releases, and they're not that bad.

>>20436689
Thank you

>>20450362

>>20450629
This, at least from Horizon and onwards S8 put official english subtitle on the Home Video releases (Love Live!, Buddy Complex, etc) and they're actually good.

Weird, I just got a phone call from the courier saying he was nearby and asking if I was at home and had the money prepared, but the tracking still has no information.

Holy fucking Christ. I shouldn't have opened the booklet.

Get fucking hype guys. Get fucking hype.

It is my earnest wish that everyone who frequents this thread could watch the bonus episode for the first time together.
And that I could orchestrate it without any concerns of legal ramifications.

>>20451135
Shouldn't it be possible by streaming it on a private group conversation like on Discord?

>>20451175
We can host it on cytube, but we're gonna need a rip for that

The bonus episode is 12m15s.

>>20451186
That seems rather short for what's supposedly in it.

>>20451186
What. I expected something like 30/40min, how much action is cramped in so little time?

inb4 it's called XXI-PV because it's a preview for Horizon XXI adapting volumes X and XI

>>20451195
It's not very fleshed out, it's pretty much just scenes.

>>20451204
At this stage I wouldn't put it past them.

>>20451208
What about the VAs for the speers?

>>20451220
Only the best SPEER has lines, is credited and has the most extensive battle scene.

He's not going to tell us anything until we'll watch it, fucking hype.

After they said they started planning for it 4 years ago I expected more than a glorified commercial

>>20451497
Just the one new song they already previewed or are there more?

>>20451584
The rest of the songs on the CD are the special songs from the rest of the special edition BDs.

>>20451186
>>20451049
As one of the other anons already said, the expectations and hype I had are almost completely gone. I just hope your happiness means that it's still very much worth.
If we consider the previews we got for the booklet and the OVA we're basically paying a lot for 160 pages of new content and 10 minutes of animation.

>>20451634
That really depends on if you already own all the rest of the content.

>>20451705
I guess so. And if you don't care that the old Kimitoasamade releases are included digitally.

So the OVA is only 12 mins and works as a commercial and we got the other GT volume and we already gor 120 pages of those 280.

I cannot deny that I'm disappointed at them playing with the fans this way but from a monetary standpoint is a good move baiting everyone so they can spend this ridiculous amount of money on this, unless you dont have anything from Horizon and you really wanted to buy the BD's with proper subs.

Pic VERY related.

>>20451735
Well hopefully it'll make them understand that Horizon/Kawakami is still a goldmine at least. And 12 minutes is way better the big pile of nothing we've gotten thus far.

>>20451754
Horizon isn't a goldmine at all, saying that is just deluding yourself. It did well years ago and it got a boost on LN sells but it was never a goldmine as you say. Here everyone thought that this was something else, is an OVA for fucks sake, every time we get an OVA annoucement these days is at least 24 mins or something longet than that and the details of this BD box didn't included this crucial detal if 12 mins.

Now the BD box and the other box with all the collection did great in terms of sells? yeah it did thanks to Horizon ending after 10 years and the fanbase that is not big at all. Anything coming from kawakami that is not exactly a goldmine but a constant stream of money that is slightly above average in terms of numbers, that's why everyone let Kawakami do what he wants.

>>20451802
Horizon DO SELL on numbers 90% of the rest of the industry wish it could sell.

The problem with it (and same as other Sunrise and Studio 8 anime, Rip Accel World) is that Love Live makes even more money and with even less effort (tons of CGI Animation)

>>20451856
Accel World is getting a movie...

>>20451870
>Accel World is getting a movie...
nigga, have you been in a coma?

>>20451890
Kinda, I even stopped reading 90% of what I used to read except for horizon and risou no himo.

>>20451856
Horizon selling numbers were always above average and that's good for the novel considering the size of it, but if you want a goldmine there you have SAO, you have Mahouka to some extent, and as you mentioned Love Live too. Is still not enough to call it goldmine but is good for the fanbase and Kawakami because he gets a free pass for anything he wants.

Also Love live is almost dead, leaving aside the gay ass shit they're pushing next year with the new idols there isn't any other proyect on sight so who knows.

>>20451896
Oh you read Risou too? that's a good one.

>>20451896
the movie came out 2 years ago, 1st half was wasted recap of the anime, the rest of the movie do was really good with tons of animation and shit from latest LN but it was basically and OVA rather than a movie

>>20451920
>SAO
different studios

>Mahouka
iirc it hovered around 10K only

>>20451920
Friend, Horizon outsold both Mahouka and the second season of SAO.
I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations, and as it was around the 60th best selling series since 2000 (http://www.someanithing.com/1)) and there's been something like 4300 series since then (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/search/genreresults?w=series&from=2000&to=2019&lic=&a=AA&a=OC&a=TA&a=MA&o=rating though I don't trust this number) that would place it in the top 1,4% of best selling anime. I'd say it's fair to call it a gold mine.

>>20451969
>Friend, Horizon outsold both Mahouka and the second season of SAO.
Not in terms of LN sells and you're only counting the second season of SAO so that data is irrelevant, both of them sold like hot cakes for the most part, being SAO the usual winner thanks to how popular it was until the new volumes came out with shitty stories that can be classified as awful fanfics.

Horizon managed with both seasons over 45k which is good but nowhere near to be the best, is a good number nonetheless but again is not a goldmine, that's just deluding yourself thanks to your preference for Horizon.

I would like to say the same but what we like or what we want is far away from what happened in reality. There are many franchises that sold incredibly well going over any number that Horizon ever made but that doesn't mean is bad at all, is just not the best especially when it takes so much time and resources while trash like SAO or LL with low effort gets mountains of money.

>>20452044
>Not in terms of LN sells
but we are talking about the anime. the fuck is LN sales do in this?

>>20452060
You know what's the purpose of anime adaptations or not?

>>20452134
Not for every adaptation though.

>>20452134
not every addaptation is a glorified sink hole ad for the LN.

specially if it turns into the few hand counted anime that goes beyond the 15K barrier constantly

Edge is here.

>>20452374
Neat. Now the wait for the bundled tank with proper illustrations begins.

>>20452398
A bunch of old illustrations with some arguably "bad" coloring and definitely some stuff drawn by Kawakami himself as well.

>>20452374
This is gonna be sick.

>>20452574
Only if we get a series like OnC, I don't expect another massive LN like Horizon.

Ebooks are out as well

>>20452603
Well is just an online serialization so you're fucked mate we're not getting another LN.

Personally I don't really like this because edge is incredibly important for 2 reasons, one is the connection between what Sayama and Co. did back in the Foundation world and how all the races went to the "heavens" (aka solar systems, new planets, dimensions) just to end up in the biggest war ever that destroyed the real earth and leads to the enviromental gods being in charge of rebuilding it.

Niiiiice. Super weird to see it without the dithering though.

>>20453700
Oooh, this is so nice. Really makes me want to get back into cleaning and typesetting.
Is there anything in particular that needs doing, Muton?

>>20453810
Well, right now everything volume 4 and 5-B+ requires typesetting. I was planning to restart it once I get these; we can split the work since it's quite the backlog.

>>20453700
Thanks!

>>20453810
Why the borders looks so pixelated?

>>20453820
Alright, I'll start looking at 5-B then.
Anywhere I can reach you for questions about fonts etc.?
