Finally, the last volume of NT was painful as fuck, I don't really know what the fuck is happening on Kamachi's head but NT went from "ok" to utter trash.

>>15743955
What's wrong with it? I'm not following Index, just vaguely aware that it's been kind of coasting along on its popularity.

>>15743994
OT (old testament) was mostly good, with some volumes where the story was cringeworthy but 90% of the time was ok.

NT (new testament) is literally Kamachi adding more trash to milk Index until everyone grows tired of it, the world building is fucked up. the character development literally stopped and he just pulled more new characters to continue another volume and then kill them on the next one, the story at this point doesn't make any sense at all and even some hardcore fanboys of Kamachi knows that NT is literally 20% good and 80% trash.

>>15744032
What character development? Everyone outside of Touma only had development teased at without actually going anywhere for a single volume at most or like Accelerator had a single character that was completely erased and replaced on their second appearance.

Gonna start 4A after I finish NT16

>>15746850
You better start 4A right ahead since NT16 is trash.

Hey, what about a /Kawakami/ discord?

It's not really needed, but I thought it would be nice.

>>15748932
Since this thread is so comfy, I might as well ask it here. When/why did discord become a thing? I swear I never heard of it a month ago, now every one wants to use it. Is it just a flavor of the month fad?

>Righteousness: “Judge. I’ll use my sign frame’s additional divine protection to take photos and send them over. It’s what I use for recon with my god of war, so it’s low resolution but easily enhanced.”

>When the image arrived, Masazumi enlarged it in the sign frame. Tsukinowa tilted its head a few times while increasing the precision of the zoomed in version and she showed it to Yasuhira.

>>15748999
It's pretty neat if you just set up a server for a group of people who interact on a regular basis. Like Skype group chat but better, plus voice channels if you ever feel like using them.
Personally I feel like it's here to stay, considering that it can replace both TS and Skype.

>>15748999
>When/why did discord become a thing

>when
About a year ago advertised as a free skype and Teamspeak replacement.

>why
Gained massive popularity in the gaming community for being lightweight and not charging monthly fees for voice connections or being a pile of shit like Skype. Now everyone outside gaming is using it too.

Posting best girl.

Anyone has OnC complete and Horizon up to 3C in pdf? I'm useless using Calibre.

>>15755176
You should have asked for that a couple months ago. I had some now out of date versions in pdf but I got rid of them when calibre stopped being good at epub to pdf.

>>15748735
If generic harem suddenly stops being popular, there is.

>>15755916
Sooner or later, Dengeki will start to adapt old novels that sold well. Other than the big three (SAO, Index, Mahouka) they don't have many titles that sell well.

>>15755233
What a shame. Well, I'll use B-T pdf for now. Thanks anyway.

>>15755176
Why not simply use Calibre's e-book reader?

>>15757258
Because I want to read it in my Kindle.

>>15757279
Oh, okay. Why Kindle still doesn't support normal EPUBs is a mystery to me.

>>15757279
I have Horizon+OnC as azw3 files. I can upload them if you want. No idea what kindle generations actually support them though.

>>15757437
Wel, it seems to work perfectly in my Kindle.
Thank you very much.

Man, still almost two weeks till the next Hexennacht novel and manga.
I don't even know why I'm so impatient, never happened to Horizon. Probably because we're caught up with Japan.

I started reading OnC recently, but somehow it feels entirely different from Horizon. I'm nearly half through 3-C now and I'm not sure what to think. Horizon has crazy characters, but everyone in OnC is just off the rails insane.

>After all, the main force of Team Leviathan was made up of inhuman people with carnal thought processes who were constantly intoxicated on the trippy narcotics produced in their own brains. But the truly frightening part was how none of them were aware of it.

>>15759423

Will Narumi ever figure out he's been going for her the entire time?

>>15765479
>>15767578
Ulqi is the best. I'm loving his weird seduction of Narumi the non elder sister character.

Panties scene was a dead giveaway.
Dragon is one awesome motherfucker.

>>15765479
I think I'd still go for the actual elder sister character were I in his position.

>>15768395
Dragons mind works in mysterious ways.
Or maybe he`s an amputeecon too. With family history like his it`s entirely possible.

>>15768401
Is there some weird Kawakami magic where you start thinking that wooing someone by cutting off their limbs is a fairly normal thing?

>>15765479
>She did not like being the butt of the jokes, but their aim would eventually drift to Crossunite or Asama. Yes, that’s right. It has to. I’ll make sure it does.

She's older than Masamune, but Narumi doesn't have any younger siblings, so she's not an elder sister.

>>15771065
Are her parents still alive?

>>15771757
Probably so, but they don`t have to have inherited names.

>>15770848
>So was there location between the city was and Novgorod’s original location.

This sounds incorrect to me, but I've been wrong many times before. If I'm understanding the message this is supposed to convey then would
So was the location between the city and Novgorod's original location.
or
So was the space between the city and Novgorod's original location.
or
So was the location between where the city was and Novgorod's original location.
sound better than how it is right now?

Looking forward to discuss kawakami with u guys i just started to get into horizon/owari right now

>>15774253
Welcome to the madness, friend.

>>15774253
Welcome to the threads. Things are usually a bit slow, but feel free to ask about whatever you want.

Be careful about spoilers, though. Most everyone here is all caught up, so if you're just starting there'll be unmarked spoilers all over the place.

>>15773015
I agree that this doesn't look correct. At the very least, the "there" looks like a grammatical error.

>>15768625
Masazumi's character has changed quite a lot since 1-A. She was pretty awkward in 3-Plum at first, but now she fits right in. For her to be thoroughly infected by 3-Plum's madness after just a year shows she has quite a lot of talent in that regard.

>>15768278
>>15767637
This. The bizarre romance between him and Narumi is great.

Just like OnC, we've once again got a strange relationship between a standoffish girl and a dragon.

>>15772290
>>15771757

This is actually a bit strange. Does Date count as part of the Far East politically? I thought that only Matsudaira/Musashi had mandatory graduation at age 18.

Otherwise, why are all the leaders in Date so young? Mogami doesn't seem to have this restriction. It's the same for Satomi -- all of their leaders have been really young for some reason.

I dont understand already something, the powers in kawakamiverse ... there is a real explanation about all of them ? Cause i am watching horizon season II and they have baseball powers or what the fuck is that

>>15774383
Satomi is also Korea though so they shouldn't have that restriction. I have been wondering about Date and Mogami also though and also wondering if the 18 rule is new since the Musashi principal used to fight with the pope only 20 years ago but he seems way older than 38.

>>15774550
They just use magic energy to get some kind of effect to happen. What it actually does is up to the user to decide. The LN has a detailed explanation of how the baseball twins double pitch works.

>KageV
Oh, I get it. "V" for "victory", because the "katsu" in his name means "victory".

>>15774550
>>15774580
Magic Power being ether in this situation, and the desired effects are based on offerings and such, although it all depends on which "spell system" (aka religion) they are using.

>>15748999
Shilled hard on Reddit and caters to their 'epic' userbase. Rebranded IRC with voice chat functionality. It's not a bad program but it does a bunch of stupid shit and caters towards the most 'epic', top of the iceberg internet users.

>>15774580
Right, Satomi shouldn't have that restriction, and from the looks of it Mogami doesn't either, so maybe Date's young leadership is just a coincidence.

Well, I remember that Honda Takakatsu received a special exemption from the Testament Union to keep acting as the Peerless in the East even in old age, and Motonobu obviously was far older than 18, so maybe the Mikawa folks got a special exemption. I remember Motonobu was called the Eternal Student Council President or something, so maybe ththat's what happened.

>>15775369
>>15774580
In other words, since Musashi is the only part of the Far East that's allowed to act independently, it's probably also the only place where the age restriction applies.

Mikawa was an exception, since its quasi-alliance with P.A. Oda put it out of reach of the Testament Union.

For that matter, maybe the weird situation in Date and Mogami is due to the Testament Union's weak influence in the north. The "spirit of resistance" and all that.

>>15774550
>>15774682

All matter in the world of Horizon requires ether for its existence. The various spells and other magic techniques work by manipulating ether through various concepts and other methods. There are various sorts of "schools" of spells, mostly aligned with various religious factions. So there are Tsirch spells, Shinto spells, Mlasi spells, etc., and also some other systems like Technomagie.

The anime doesn't include a lot of this kind of infodump, but if you have the time to read the LNs you'll find everything there.

The actual combat methods should just be taken as part of the setting. Tres Espana likes to fight with sports teams, so they do. This is just the regular sort of Kawakami madness.

>>15774550
The sports thing is just a joke about how IRL Spain loves sports. I think Tres España even gets described as sport freaks a bunch of times. This is Kawakami, he is half joke half serious all the time.

>>15770848
Okay, Uesugi hijinks are hilarious.

Dengeki's pretty late with the somewhat bigger, clean covers this time.
I hope we get Hexennacht 3 as big as Horizon 9-B.

Okay fags, there is something bothering me, I'll start to read Hexennacht but what are the good things and the bad things about this LN? it is at the same level of Horizon or OnC?

>>15784971
I can't come up with a bad thing, honestly.

>>15785059
All the awful maids keep bullying that poor butler.

>>15784971
It's the usual Kawakami fun and madness, although it's more like the OnC style of crazy than the Horizon kind.

It does feel like a side project, though. There aren't as many characters, the world isn't as complicated, and it's pretty consistently lighthearted.

>>15784971
So far the story has seemed a lot more shallow than those two series. I'd be surprised if it lasts more than 5 volumes unless they manage to move to a new plot thread and keep the series going.

>>15785426
I get the feeling that OBSTACLE is supposed to be more, shorter, stories kinda like CITY rather than the epics that are AHEAD and GENESIS.

Maybe we will see some OBSTACLE animated in the future then.

I suppose no preview till Monday?

Finally caught up with the Horizon translation. It's both exciting to read the new chapters as soon as they're availible, but the wait is also painful. I'm conflicted.

>>15790306
Kawakamin addiction is a powerful thing. Everyone here can sympathize.

>>15790306
If you haven't read them yet, there's always City, OnC, and Hexennacht.

>>15790821
'Struth. I haven't read a single Kawakami thing in months and I am still buying books.

>>15790306
Blame Kamachi throwing NT garbage and more blood sign dogshit.

Js06 is afk with that trash.

>>15792653
There were two Horizon chapters this week and Kamachi was always his priority. I don't see the problem.

>>15792688
There were three chapters this week.

He translates so many different things, and does them all at a faster pace than most other translators. Its silly to complain about him giving one thing priority over another. He finished NT, translated a new Railgun chapter, put out three chapters of Horizon, and a porn chapter all in about a week. That's pretty incredible if you ask me.

>>15792463
The way Satoyasu uses colors sure has changed a lot...

>>15792859
This. Js06 is such an outrageous translator that I'd be grateful even if we only got one Horizon chapter a week. It's really hard to find people that dedicated and that fast.

>>15792949
They've become pretty vibrant as of late, especially in Hexennacht.

>>15793093
Funny how that contrasts with his overly-gray chapter illustrations.

>>15792859
>porn chapter

What.

>>15795044
js06 has a seperate page for translations of the 18+ style books.

Is Hexennacht out on the 8th or the 9th?

>>15795830

>>15795867

They don't exist. One of the editors had a hard drive failure and the work had to start over from scratch.

>>15785419
Considering Horizon's starting to wrap up, I wonder if Kawakami will start fleshing out the story a bit more.

Kawakami reposted the covers and something that looked like a game with very Satoyasu designs. What was it?

As promised, here's the third Hexennacht manga.
Nothing new; ends with the second light novel. Simply helps to visualize the fights, I guess.
There are some nifty comments from Kawakami in between chapters, though.

>>15814559
Thank you.

>>15814559
Love ya!

>>15814127
It's hard to judge since they are both different kinds of suffering.

I'll go pick up Hexennacht 3 in about four hours. Most stores open about 10.

>>15815256
Great. Looking forward to those pictures.

>>15814058
Umm, I don't know if it's just me, but i didn't think it was THAT brutal. Almost all that happened to the characters was foreshadowed since volume A. Also, some people say that Torii almost dies, but he doesn't even come close to actually feeling it (thanks to the good work of his friends of course), assuming you're talking about Yoshitsune and Matsunaga, that is.

>>15813512
It seems like a crossover between his various works. I hope we'll see some know OnC illustrations.

>>15815303
I've heard that's just how Obstacle works, reincarnation concept in full force.

>>15815398
Technically they're all worlds created by Kagami's sister and CITY come after that, so I don't know how he intend to make a crossover and keep it canon.

>>15815451
But how does that work? Kagami's world is the world of Genesis? Is it too in a process of dying? The world of City is inside a book? I don't know, man, there's just so many variables.

>>15815302

>>15814559

Also wondering if you have the first and the second?

>>15815914
https://www.mediafire.com/?s3cnc1g1dndbp

At the bottom.

>>15813512
Here's what it says about the story:
>The game is set in a world doomed to be destroyed. A party of sages-in-training leave on a journey to find out why and sell their services at solving a certain city's troubles, but as they do, they approach the truth of a mystery that occurred in a former era. The game provides a glimpse of the Obstacle Series, one of the concepts of the Kawakami Minoru world, and it is a must-play for fans.

The site also says the first major update will "add the Horizon world" under the tentative title "The King and his Eight Companions".

>>15815451
Are all the Obstacle worlds a creation of Kagami's sister? Or are all the worlds created by Kagami's sister treated as a single world in all of Obstacle?

>>15815779
>>Anne
It was foreshadowed as fuck, but I do give you the point of it being sad.
>>Yoshiyori
That scene was hype as fuck to me, and because of that I didn't feel as sad, also, they barely talked wit the guy. I felt sadder about Yoshiyasu and how she came to understand his and her sister's reasons a little too late.

None of those came even close to Alex's and Sf's deaths in OnC to me, but okay, they happened at the end of the novel and we had a lot more time to see their interactions,and the whole gravitas of the situation they were in.
Also, is Yoshitsune really dead? The way it happened felt a little anti-climatic to me.

>>15816089
Yoshitsune: it was left vague, which means to me she's not dead and will come back just like the Pope and Gallileo

Personally it's something I'd like, but I don't think it would really get used, or rather not that many would sign up.

I am now convinced that my Kindle is fucking with me. For some reason it suddenly stopped categorizing Horizon, Hex and Kimitoasamade as 'books' and doesn't show the embedded covers, while OnC still works fine.

And we got new chapter too

OBSTACLE miko sure have some weird uniforms. Weirder than Horinouchi's, at least.

>>15816388
That uniform is really nice. By the way, it seems like the easiest way to differentiate the uniforms of the divisions are to look at what kind of cloak and what colour tie they're wearing.
By the way, looking through the old uniform illustrations, it says that while Hunter designed the Special Equipment uniform, Lisbeth >>15816376 designed the General Division's uniform.
In V2, the headmaster invited Lisbeth to come see Kagami and Horinouchi, apparently she thought Hunter would be the representative on Hexennacht until Hunter lost.

>>15816525
Yeah, he finally lost it completely.

>>15816042
I'm not sure it was ever explain, but the image behind each Hexennacht volume should clear something, since it show many parallel worlds.
And it could be Kawakami change his concept for Obstacle since describing it in City.

I tried counting how many times "bitter smiles" are mentioned in Horizon because I get the feeling I see it every third damn paragraph.
Here's my count:
1A: 2
1B: 15
2A: 23
2B: 33
3A: 28
3B: 40
3C: 34*
4A: 36
4B: 33

* One line that said "Heidi’s bitter smile lost its bitterness." was counted as one mention.

Does Kawakami need to expand his vocabulary?

>>15824102
It seems to be a trademark of his. I

>>15824102
A lot of light novel authors seem to have phrases they like using over and over. Whenever I see the key phrase in the overlord novels I end up feeling like a puppet who's strings were cut.

>>15824169
I can't imagine how that phrase could be used in more than one or two situations.

>>15824312
It's a euphemism for going limb, like when someone dies.
In an action-filled series like Overlord, there's probably plenty of use for it.

>>15824169
Oh yeah, There's also Heavy Object's "But Objects are synonymous with war!"

He looked both young and old, like a saint and also a sinner.

Kawakami casually retweets porn.

The first thing I saw when I followed him was a retweet of Margot/Naruze futa porn

>>15824102
You're on another level of autism dude, seriously go to see the doc mang.

>>15824555
Kawakami loves those who love his works.

>>15825047
It's a nice attitude for an author.

Is there any information about the total population of the Horizon world?

>>15826290
If there is, I haven't seen it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were records in the encyclopedia, but it's not translated.

If I had to guess, though, it's probably below the tens of millions.

The Musashi counts as a territory and has a population in the hundreds of thousands, so I don't think there's anything equivalent to a 21st century major metropolitan area (i.e. a region with millions of people).

>>15824949
`tism is horizonthreads is a given.

>>15826753
It's pretty much a basic prerequisite. It's not enough to be autistic -- you need the right kind of autism to become a Kawakamin addict.

>>15824949
It wasn't very that tedious, all I had to do was Ctrl-F "bitter", count the times it wasn't said in relation to a smile and subtract that count from the total amount of hits for "bitter" for each volume.

Hey there, horizonfags.

So, Manabu Ono is going to be a guest at Awa at the end of the month. Any Horizon questions I should ask him? (Besides the obvious season 3 when?)

>Manabu Ono
I don't know who he is.

>>15838622
Anime director

>>15838604
Is he reading kawakami's stuff

I'll rewatch Horizon again soon, but with some non-Kawakami friends, any advice?

>>15838604
He still loves Gin?

>>15838861
Are they anime watchers already?

>>15838899
Yeah, but they're not regular anime watchers.

>>15838928
I can't really give you any advice because I have no experience with that sort of thing.

>>15838928
Get ready to explain every single detail. Also, Toori may be a little grating to people who don't watch many anime.

I`m not sure Horizon is the thing to watch with non-addicts. It`s hard for addicts sometimes to get through the initial exposition, what do you expect from normies?

Is Toori Motonobu's child? What about Kimi?

Keep in mind that i only read shortly before i go to sleep, so maybe i just dreamed that or something.

>>15856867
No? Their father has even shown up (indirectly) in the storyline. He's a wanderer who sends videos to his wife.

Do you think that Kawakami knows about the fandom his works have overseas, or the translation project?

>>15861904
I think he's referenced some things in his twitter before. The Kawakami bingo sheet got a mention once, so I think he knows overseas fans exist.

Reading this is like seeing OnC all over again.

If anything, Kawakami's taken it to an even more extreme level.

It used to be that not realizing one's own craziness was a special attribute for certain super crazy people, but now it's a standard trait!

>would she drink the green health shake that the Special Equipment Division uses to get through their all-nighters? Well? Hm!? …Sorry, that was so unreasonable I lost my cool for a second.

>“That is the Black Witch’s power. It is a spell we call Concept Erasure,” she explained. “It is the opposite of the power that created this world. The power to destroy this world and erase anything in it is used on whoever loses.

Things are getting really interesting! We saw concept creation debut all the way back in OnC, but this is the first time we've seen direct concept destruction (instead of canceling out positive and negative concepts).

>>15876166
Doesn`t apocalypse in Horizon function in the same way?

>>15876444
Sort of? We don't know the mechanism behind how the Concept Erasure spell works, so it's hard to say for sure.

The apocalypse in Horizon manifests as the destruction of ether, which seems to act as the medium for all concepts, so it's somewhat distinct from erasing concepts.

And according to the spoilers for later volumes, it's caused by destiny, which humans used to create the Testament, wanting to commit suicide. The results are different.

On the other hand, the Hexennacht concept erasure doesn't seem to have done anything beyond removing certain parts of history and memory.

>>15876444
It can't since they didn't forget that Masazumi dropped her glove into the mini apocalypse.

>>15880851
Are we sure it`s actually portable apocalypse and not some approximation? I`d imagine you can`t contain something like that.

>>15886025
Right. At the very least, Elizabeth and the others can't be confident that the distortion in Avalon is exactly the same as the real Apocalypse. After all, if they knew exactly what it was, there wouldn't be confusion or a need to research it.

>>15886025
It was all of the odd phenomenon in england thought to be a part of the apocalypse compressed into one closed space due to ley line manipulation.
