Horizon On The Middle Of Nowhere
Okay, let's talk about Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere. I know, I know, it's beloved by many.
It's... A Lot
But hear me out! Sometimes I think it tries a little too hard. Like, did we really need *that* many historical references?
It feels like someone threw a history textbook into a blender with anime tropes. Then they just hoped for the best.
The Plot Thickens... And Thickens... And Thickens...
The plot is like a dense forest. You're constantly hacking through it with a rusty machete. You might get lost, very lost.
Honestly, sometimes I just wanted to shout, "Can someone please explain what's going on?!" Even after watching, you might still feel confused.
Maybe that's part of the charm for some people? I'm not entirely sure, though.
Characters? More Like a Cast of Thousands!
The sheer number of characters is overwhelming! You need a spreadsheet to keep track of who's who.
I'm pretty sure some characters show up for one scene and then vanish forever. It's like a bizarre game of Where's Waldo?, but with anime people.
Do I love some of the characters? Absolutely! Honda Masazumi, for one, is a personal favorite. But remembering everyone's name and motivation is a Herculean task.
The Fan Service... Oh, The Fan Service
Let's be honest, there's fan service. Lots and lots of fan service. It's about as subtle as a foghorn.
Sometimes it feels like they just threw it in there for the sake of it. Does it detract from the story? Maybe a little.
I wouldn't call myself a prude, but sometimes it's just… there.
Am I Saying It's Bad? Not Exactly!
Here's the thing: Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere is not without its merits. The action scenes can be genuinely exciting.
The world-building is undeniably ambitious. And the music? Absolutely fantastic!
There are moments of brilliance buried beneath the layers of complexity. You just have to dig for them.
Unpopular Opinion Time: It's Overhyped
Okay, here it is: I think it's overhyped. There I said it.
It's not a *bad* anime, not at all. But I don't think it's the masterpiece some people claim it is.
Maybe my brain just isn't wired for that level of information overload. And that's okay!
So, Should You Watch It?
Ultimately, the decision is yours! If you love complex plots, tons of characters, and a healthy dose of fan service, then go for it!
Just be prepared to dedicate some serious brainpower to keeping up. Maybe take notes!
But if you prefer something a little more straightforward, maybe look elsewhere. There are plenty of other anime out there!
Final Thoughts
Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere is a unique anime experience. It's either something you'll love or something you'll find overwhelming.
Either way, it's definitely memorable. Even if you don't fully understand what's going on!
And hey, at least you can say you tried. Right?
