I dunno about you guys, but this episode rocked.

New episode!

Kimi, who fights using ero and dance, rocks the whole episode! She's no Sheryl Nome, but her true form shows enough skin and her song.... just wow....

I was kinda awed when she evaded attacks just by swaying left and right...

Judge, Kimi was great in this episode.

Kimi is boss.

Fantastic episode. I can hear the epicness coming.

I just visited the Tvtrope page for Horizon and I fell into confusion because of the listed "6 stages". Are they on order? Can anybody who read the LN elaborate to me, I am not affected by spoilers so its ok.

Hatena's episode 10 is out.
Another good one.

Tomo snipes a battleship and the angels go Nanoha.

I beg to differ: Adele is the highlight of the show.

They way they wage war is very nicely absurd in this show. The combat system seems to be better for larger battles.

And Techno Witch Magical Girls!? What next?

I was saying this show would be better off as a video game rather than an anime....

What sort of gameplay were you thinking? It'd probably work best as something turn based given the nature of the spells, but I guess those AI companions could make it real time.

I haven't played many war battle scale games though, which is why I'm curious as to how it could work.

Yeah... I was thinking turn based ala Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics

According to /a/, it was going to be game at first but nobody would fund it.
So Kawakami wrote a light novel series instead.

But you know, grain of salt.

Mecha shield.

Techno witches shooting down a mecha.

And a mecha getting to the battlefield via giant slingshot thing.

YES.

You know I've been thinking of Toussaint Neshinbara (below) as a girl.

But re-watching, I really have no excuse. The uniform is the male one and everything (and the voice while lacking timbre could certainly be a young male's). Still looks effeminate and similar to some female Meganekko types I've seen.

Hatena's episode 11 is out.

Highlights:
Neito getting petted
Toori getting a useful ability
Galileo getting his ass kicked
Masazumi trolling the Pope.

SO Toori is a walking mana pool?

>.> impressive!

So. Much. Awesome.

Subs for episode 12 are out.

Yeah, I'd kinda like to know what happened.

It's definitely not a Mind Screw, but did they just break that wall with the Power of Love?

Also, that was an awesome confession of love.

This show is weird. Grounded weird, but still interesting weird.

Did you use the infodump tumblr?

Look for Disintegration Field, there's your explanation.
I don't feel like posting it here.

Gotta love the accident breast poke....

Of course the confession was awesome, it pretty much involved a declaration for world conquest.

Subs for episode 13 are out.

Second season starts summer 2012.

Quite odd, but in spite of the likely lack of complete resolution (as far as the anime is concerned), kinda blatant (but not usually in your face pandering) fanservice, lack of self-awareness and lack of properly deep characters I think I will keep watching this.

What can I say, it must be in the execution that those things don't matter so much.
