Horizon's story progression made alot more sense and alot less jumping around though. There are alot characters, but can ignore most of them for now without mattering too much. Ahead 4-A to 5-B was so confusing it literally made no sense (reading them on a 13 hr flight does not help either). | ||

It is possible to ignore Horizon characters but you are just asking to miss out on jokes and the little developments before they get big vols to themselves. Also it is just messier because the story involves itself with the individual characters more so they do in Ahead, which you can more or less piece out by knowing the myth in question early on. Later on it is just a question of how the overarching story holds up, which isn't too hard to get through. | ||

Looks swag. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-08-10/shaft-prism-nana-anime-promo-debuts-at-comic-market A few thoughts just by seeing trailer/character design: Mahou Shoujo meets K-on? Notice the unlimited Bow Works? Character design on the three girls in mahou shoujo mode makes me think of pokemon starters, with fire/water/grass, lol. Probably not a Madoka copy (at least I hope not, madoka:s trailer was pretty "cutesy" as well, though). Honestly hoping for something closer to Nanoha than anything else, but initial impression is that it's a bit more light hearted (but again, they have fooled us before). Also, those creatures look too similar to Kyuubey to be allowed to live. | ||

It just happens that because of the settings in horizon and the author's style one tends to need to throw in a lot more extra explanation to make it work. Yea thats why I said within the anime itself you can grasp enough. Obviously the depth with which the twists are incoroporated int he Novel will be lost on anime only people. Thats not even something I can consider as a loss going into it. What you never know, you never miss etc etc.. BS movie being a pretty good example. Quite a heavy bit of snipping in their that totally thew the movie off for me. I can only imagine how many anime adaptations I would like so much less if I had access to the source material; and tbh thats fine, you make do with what you have to work with in the time you can offer it. | ||

Although you may (or may not, dunno) want to start with Chronicles of the End of the World (Owari no Chronicle), as it's a precursor to Horizon and explains why the world ended up the way it did, lol :D Edit: My distinction of LN vs novel tends to be based on the writing, not so much the length (a lot of novels are the length of LNs). I think Kawakami performs due diligence on topics being written on, has significantly deeper content, and has a writing style that's more befitting the term "novel," similar to most of Nishio Ishin's stuff. There's a reason why the latter is published by Kodansha, which is typically a novel-publishing company but happens to publish Nasu and Nishio. They just get lumped into "LNs" because they have an anime-style cover, but the content is quite different ;p Ah very true. I started reading 終わりのクロニクル already. Decided that I needed to read that before I jumped into the main book since from the anime, I know the history is long and I'd be better off knowing wtf happened so I can actually enjoy reading it and not flicking back numerous pages to think what happened. | ||

They've literally ignored it, which is a problem because basically everyone's motive is driven by these external factors that are never explained. People look like fucking idiots right now doing random shit that makes no sense whatsoever lol. | ||

I marathoned the first one when it ended, plan to do the same for S2, either way I doubt I'll be massively let down. Pretty sure checking up on the ranting here and what i know myself will be enough to connect the dots. I havent even seen it yet and I kinda already have a pretty good picture of the backdrop that you guys talked about with S2. | ||

I marathoned the first season, thought it was good albeit a tad confusing. However I decided to start reading the LN but if I wasn't able to read Japanese, I doubt I'd bother reading it since only like half the chapters are translated on Bakatsuki - unless there's another source for it. Other than that, I think many people will try and read some of the LN to make up for the anime - is my thoughts anyway. | ||

I'll just stick to the anime :/ Oh well, StrikerS starting to get really good now.  | ||

Ya unless there are other fan-translated LN's out there BT is the only one. I think they've done just over half of the chapters of the first 1-A or something. So it'll be a long time to get them ALL done. T_T | ||

Must be a real pain to translate them though. Probably won't bother with S2; I get uta rants every week instead  StrikerS gets progressively better so the first half or so is pretty boring. When I re-watched it, I just started somewhere in the middle lol. Chances are it'll get a movie so they should cut out a bunch of stuff and it'll be a lot superior. So like, 3-4 years from now, we'll have a Nanoha trilogy :D | ||

I accidentally watched StrikerS first (I remember this very well since I was stuck overnight at an airport due to a snowstorm and marathoned it overnight) and then went back for the first 2 seasons later. I think this might explain why I have more of an attachment to Vita and the trainees compared to Nanoha and Fate. Edit: @Maxie's comment about LB anime + Show Spoiler + At least we don't have to worry about KyoAni Endless Eight-style trolling? XD On a more serious note, maybe they could do 2 repetitions, putting half the girls in each time? I think there's a reasonable chance of at least 2 repetitions to show Rin's character development | ||

It started in July so it's still very new, not sure if anyone has seen it, I think it's becoming popular pretty rapidly. http://myanimelist.net/anime/11757/Sword_Art_Online Ya we've been discussing it for a while. It's good but so far they've only done the side stories and that means they'll have to slightly compress the main story line. Then were not sure how they are going to do the other volumes, IF they are doing it. Now, it'd be great if they dedicated the rest of the season to the main story line then did a S2 and continued on with ALO. But I doubt that'll happen. | ||
