Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon

Having mastered the first season, I still didn't understand anything. The movement is fascinating, but the essence is elusive. The summer passed and I sat down for the second…
What do people associate with the word anime? School, mechs, ninjas, samurai, elves, magic, angels, demons, kawaii deformations, talking unknown monsters, school councils and clubs, baseball, huge buffers, unrealistic fashion design, cyborgs, absurdity, universal scale, world domination… No matter how many times I list it, it's all on the Horizon! But here's the amazing thing, despite the presence of non-perceptible porridge, the anime has a logical plot connecting it all. In a way, Horizon is an ode to battle. And not only in the form of a battle, but also in all situations of a clash between two or more people. Every discussion/conversation/transaction looks like a battle of personalities and it's a pleasure to watch it. But there is a problem of perception. It is very difficult to concentrate and understand everything at once (or rather, it is not possible and desirable to watch the series a couple of times). But there's definitely no place for fillers and boredom – this is the most exciting project I've ever seen! The level of music, graphics, and pathos is off the charts. I'm waiting for a dozen more seasons. Watching this for hundreds of episodes in a row is just brain-wrecking. 12 in a season or two, that's it.

As far as I'm concerned, the studio was too hasty with the Horizon film adaptation. I should have started with the story of the Doomsday Chronicles.
It would seem that they know better, but the point is that the Chronicles explain the concept of the world, the creatures and races that meet in the horizon. Explains the principles of magic and technology that are used in Horizon.
And in general, the concept of negotiations comes from there.
Horizon is a great anime. It's not without its drawbacks, and I haven't gotten to the ranobe yet, but it's very interesting. As I was described before, everything is mixed in it, but at the same time everything looks very organic and does not look superfluous.
It's a pity that we probably won't see a sequel, although Steel Alarm did get a sequel after a sooooo long break. But I wouldn't count on it.
I grieve for this title like a Sekirei

@platina_vi: and if you also read The Chronicles of the End of the World, which is a prequel to this story, then you can also catch references and, in general, there will be even more understanding, right down to the origin of some things like automatic dolls.
