Okay, so since some people here seem to understand; WHAT IS ANYTHING EVEN IN THIS SERIES?
I gave the novel a look once, but gave up before getting through all the thick frontloaded exposition. I put it in the back of my mind to re-investigate later. Then some anon suggested watching the anime first, on the grounds that it would be a better jumping in point and easier to understand.
I just watched the first episode. Nothing still makes much sense. There was some really clumsy expositional dialogue that somehow managed to not actually explain very much of anything. Characters were throwing around jargon with wanton abandon and seemingly no intent to convey to me what the fuck they were on about, to the point where it felt like a SEELE conversation at times. Oh, and then there was the class, which seems to be composed entirely of bizarre wierdos that are apparently perfectly ordinary. What are all these people? Why is their academy an airship? What is it even for? They said something about it being a country? What's this about how people over the age of 18 can't hold government positions or whatever? There's magic I guess? But you can only use it if you appease shrine maiden Clippy?
I feel so completely lost. If any kindly anon could lay out what the hell is going on in layman's terms for my simple, simple brain it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
>>14214948
Humanity's basically collectively re-enacting history so that they can get back into SPACE eventually.
>>14214960
I picked that much up from the hasty exposition dump at the end of the episode (though given all the magic and mythology shit I assumed that it literally meant the metaphysical heaven). This still doesn't make a lick of sense to me though. What is the testament? Why does it describe history? The narration said that humanity ascended, but if so then how were the divine states there when they fell back down?
And what's with all the demon people and such?
>>14215091
Horizon is one if those "technology is so advanced it seems like magic" things. This is on top of using pseudoscience from parallel worlds.
The Testament is just a history book they created from the ley lines, so they'd have a concrete history to follow and recreate. They created it to only update every one hundred years in advance so nobody could "read ahead" and get too much of an advantage. Which causes an issue when it suddenly stopped auto-updating, so everything thinks the world will end on the last day it mentions.
When they ascended, they left some Environmental Gods to heal the planet. They were gone so long and the job was done too well that the surface became uninhabitable. The Divine States/Japan was alright because that's where the world's ley lines converge (and because this is a Japanese LN).
The prequel LN set in modern day deals with humanity finding and coexisting worth parallel worlds, each with unique physical laws that caused different races to exist. All the worlds eventually merge into one, creating the basis behind these magitech and fantasy races. By the time of Horizon, several thousands of years later, it's so commonplace that most people won't remark about it in-universe.

This sums it up pretty well.

Download the encyclopedia of the shit they done from the first season of the anime from sadpanda if you are interested in minor design details(There is a lot of minor details) like the layers of the maid automaton outfit.
Remember, in Kawakami-verse, there is always an explanation to things. Ask at the occasional Kawakami threads at /a/ if you have questions.
>>14213013
How so? She and lewd Miko moved in with Toori, and around book six or so, Neito and Asama start a relationship with Toori, at Horizon's suggestion (after she found out both girls also loved Toori).

>>14216209
Now see, him I liked immediately. It might have been the Captain Tylor vibes I was getting from him.
>>14215334
Thanks! This has cleared most things right up! (though I suppose it's telling that someone who actually does know a lot about the series still spends so much time in his explanation shrugging and going 'I dunno why it be like it is, but it do').
I still think his explanation could be abridged further though, so let me see if I got this right:
Humans got super advanced, including (scientific) magic and accessing alternate universes which eventually merged with theirs. They ascended to another plane of existence/went to space, but kept fighting and had to go back, only the constructs they'd left to restore the planet rendered all but a bit of it uninhabitable. So they landed there, but there wasn't room for them all, so they set up a duplicate in a pocket dimension.
Wanting to get back to space/heaven/whatever they decided to retrace their steps by re-enacting history (or the cliff notes thereof) with different regions taking up different roles. Only the artefact that they built to give them a program to follow stopped doing that, so shit's up in the air. Also, the original habitable bit of earth got invaded by the mirror one and the inhabitants kicked out and relegated to joke country status.
Did I get it just about right?
>>14216433
Good enough. A little clarification on the last bit, they only got invaded because they fucked up during a recreation of a battle and damaged the tools maintaining the mirror world, causing it to collapse and partially merge with their own. Obviously, this pissed off a ton of people leading to them getting fucked in the ass and relegated to several city-ships that just fly around.
And the recreation isn't specifically for finding a way back into space heaven. They just need to redevelop the tech they lost to do that, which they are doing simultaneously. The main purpose of it is to prevent themselves from killing each other.
What with their magical godlike technology, extremely limited living space and resources, humanity killed off half their population two weeks after coming back to earth. So they decided they couldn't trust themselves not to do even worse and instead follow history, warring only as dictated, with only as many losses as stated, etc.
>>14216832
>warring only as dictated, with only as many losses as stated, etc.
'Ang on, I've seen this episode before...
Regardless, it all seems a lot less confusing once I found out that most of the more impenetrable aspects are basically fluff that even the series itself never elaborates on.
One other thing I would like to know though: gods. The summary mentioned gods people created for terraforming, the character sheet mentioned 'war gods' which are apparently mecha, but also some characters seem to draw their magic form gods. So what are they really?
>>14216864
Gods of War is just a fancy name for the mecha they use.
The gods people form contracts with are Shinto gods that literally exist because a certain amount of people believe they exist and these gods manage different aspects inside of the Shinto religious systems, like the money god or the dancing and entertainment god.
The environmental gods that terraformed the planet are a separate existence that are the basis for all the weird laws of physics that make this world the way it is. Humanity was able to directly communicate with them a long time ago back when they left the Earth, but the people that landed had fought and destroyed most of the super technology they had and couldn't communicate with the environmental gods as easily as the people of the past.
>>14217068
What about the non-Shinto religions? They presumably have religious magic, so what's the deal with their gods?
>>14217078
The non-Shinto religions use the power inherent to the history book and its connection to the world's leylines as the basis for their magic spells so they don't have contracts or gods per say. Every person has an inherent ability to use magic and Shinto just channels that into a premade sets of spells that a person can learn themed to whatever god they are with. The other religions have spells too but those are made exclusively by humans and it's up to the individual what they use. Not that a Shinto spell user can't use spells outside their god though.
>>14217102
Thanks for clarifying.
>>14217140
Any time. Feel free to ask whatever when you feel like it.
>>14217196
Don't count on it for the remainder of this thread. This is going to be one of those series I need to steel my brain before tackling. I'm not up to climbing a mountain every day after all.
>>14217102
So is there any advantage to worshipping other religions or does Shinto have a power boost compared to everyone else?
>>14217225
Well, the weakness of Shinto spells is that you require an offering and contract. The more powerful of an spell you want, the higher the contract. Run out of offerings, and you're boned, although the flexibility of what you can offer helps a lot.
>>14217225
There's positives and negatives to all the religion options, spell-wise. Every person has a limited mana pool to draw from for spells and a limited total output at any one moment. Shinto gets around that by letting users provide an offering in the place of mana, like a song or dance, and then the power of the god converts that offering into mana for the spell to be used which lets people use spells longer than if they were casting directly from their mana pool. The catch there is most offerings aren't something convenient that can be done in the middle of a battlefield so the person will accumulate a list of IOUs for their god that they have to repay when the fight is over and that list is limited to a certain length before offerings stop working, although the show does have a character that makes a huge exception to this rule. Shinto also lets a user make an offering to their god and have that offering converted so they can receive the benefits from another god which increases the variation in the kinds of spells a person can use.
Non-Shinto spells users get around this same problem by preparing their spells beforehand(mostly) on spell paper or other physical media and investing the needed mana ahead of time so they don't get worn out on the battlefield by running out. Once again the show has another big exception to this shown.
>>14217285
So all religion is split into Shinto and non-Shinto?
TOORIMASE
TOORIMA~SE
>>14217296
There's Shinto, Tsirhc, Mlasi, Oat, and a bunch of others, but I simplified it to Shinot and non Shinto because Shinto is a major outlier in how spells work and is the most shown because of the setting being the Musashi.
>>14217300
I like the version Kimi danced to when she proved able to take on a warrior woman.
Speaking of, Kimi is one of those borderline OP users of Shinto magic. Episode 10 of S2 is where she reveals a bit of her strength.
While Toori is the one who made one hell of a contract with his own life on the line.
Reminder that it took well over a week of continuous sex for Neito-mama to get pregnant. And that even after Neito was born, she could occasionally hear her father's screams and cries for mercy while her mother made him keep going.
>>14218388
Kimi is more of an extremely specialised case.
All her contract is based off shit like fashion and dancing.
Just by being herself she is already giving offerings to her god, then if she needs more, she can dance and give more offerings.
And all that is just based around her dancer contracts and the Summit Flower spell.
since we have this partially integrated into anime..
so where's the doujin of 'Futayo having sex with Muneshige'?
>>14217300
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgcwCOrD0r4
>>14219133
Still makes her an absolute tank. Not only does it allow her to just shrug off damage, she's practically immune to status debuffs since status debuffs would inhibit her from making her usual offerings.
Wait.
Light novel characters actually had real, vaginal sex?
Is this real life?
>>14220359
Basically, yes, without having to write novels starring the characters' children as a loophole like High School DxD's author did.Granted, there is THAT scene in Sword Art Online, but still.

>Kimi is more of an extremely specialised case.

Just as an aside, there is a reason why Tori and Kimi are OP; they are a direct reference to the Gadabout class of Dragon Quest 3 videogame.
http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Gadabout
The class is a clown if male, and a bunny girl if female. The class is random as fuck and you have trouble controlling their actions, with high luck their only positive. But they are the only class that can be upgraded to the Sage class without using an unique once-off consumable.
>>14219133
The God of Entertainment is overall just a completely broken contract. Granted it can be a high-risk one a-la Toori, but the guy had ultra-depression that would have killed him if he didn't earnestly be a happy-go-lucky goof anyway.
>>14218421
Guess she went for just sheer siege-mode method.

>>14217296
I just wanted to ramble on a little more about the magic.
So all Shinto spells take the form of purification in some way, removing anything that could impede your movement or keeping attacks from touching you. The catch is that they can't make increase your stats directly only lower the stuff around you so a Shinto acceleration spell makes it easier for you to move your body, but you need to have a strong body to take advantage of that.
Tsirhc spells on the other hand(along with presumably all other religion based magic) only add elements on top of the existing world like speeding up your body or making your fists harder so unlike with a Shinto spell where there's an upper limit to how many obstacles can be removed, Tsirch spell can just be layered on top of each other until the user's body gives out from the strain.
Another thing, I mentioned offerings earlier and how a Shinto user can run out of space in their god's IOU list, but you can also make offerings in your spare time to make the god have an IOU of mana for use on the battlefield, but it takes years of work and dedication to get a big surplus. Tsirch users on the other hand have to spend their spare time creating spells ahead of time and investing their energy and then storing those spells to carry with them into the fight. Again getting a surplus of spells is a bunch of time and energy investment.
>>14220740
There's also one non-religious magic system used by the witches in the series and because their magic isn't in a religious system they have to handle all of the spell finetuning that is normally in the background for everyone else. So the witches spells all have to be cast on the spot from scratch. They can't make a spell ahead of time and store it like Tsirch or do a bunch of normal stuff to make offerings like Shinto. They have to capture and store their mana in a solid form and use that solid mana as the energy for their spells. Because of all that they take a long time to prepare and cast any big spells, but when they do use a big spell it will be perfectly made for the exact situation it's being used in.
So, 'nother question.
I follow the class alright now, but I'm still pretty fuzzy on the internal politics side of things about all these Japanese clans and whatever the deal was with Matsudaira/Ariadust?
>>14223369
>internal politics side of things about all these Japanese clans
What do you mean? Which part are you confused about? Reading about the relevant part of history is a good way to understand a bit of stuff.
>whatever the deal was with Matsudaira/Ariadust?
The Matsudairas went on to basically rule Japan after the whole sengoku era conflict settled down.
As for "Ariadust", well, what happened was that after the whole war Matsudaira Motonobu had to show that he was willing to concede to the Testamant Union, so he took his surname(Matsudaira) and flipped it like how the names of the religions were flipped. That gives us 'ariadustam', and the 'am' at the end is removed, giving us 'Ariadust'.
So isKimia part of the Toori harem too? I always thought it'd make sense if they were fucking.
The more I hear I am tempted to go ahead and read the LN translations. The anime was one of my favorite series in the past few years, but I still want to believe in a third season.
>>14223449
>What do you mean? Which part are you confused about?
Around episode 4, when the principal meets with some other old dudes and starts discussing something or other.
>Reading about the relevant part of history is a good way to understand
I've kind of found that Japanese history, especially that period, is a confusing mess of clan relations and heaps of noteworthy people with really long names that I find very difficult to keep straight. I know, I know, brain problems.
>Ariadust
Right, okay. Then what was that about flipping it back rounds again?
>>14223468
Kimi is just his elder sister, albeit almost as perverted as him.
She isn't really part of his harem, just his crazy possibly bisexual elder sister.
>>14223480
Guess that's about what I expected, oh well.
>>14214948
Combat Jew is best boy, don't deny it.
>>14220359
You'll be surprised.
There was that one chapter that started with a kind of typical how-I-met-my-husband-story then went on to become a very vivid description of them having sex without the usage of any obvious descriptors('Shaft', 'hole', etc). Not just normal sex, from the words used, apparently they did anal and oral sex too.
And they did all of that for about 14 days straight. Kawakami doesn't fuck around.

It was show of total surrender and servitude so the Testament Union let him change his name back so he wouldn't completely lose his dignity among the Japanese clans.

Having now tentatively dipped my toe into the novel, I can now add to this something I didn't quite grasp at first, namely the whole academy thing.
Basically, when the Harmonic Stats wanted to invade the Divine States, treaties prevented them from seizing control using military or political means. So they created a loophole by forming nominally academic entities (the academies) and then having them seize control, as they would be exempt. Additionally, in a bit of a cheat, no other country actually graduates students, so anyone that ever attended an academy is still nominally one and thus eligible by treaty to act on the world stage. Basically, student is the same thing as citizen.
I just wanted to note this because of how pleased I was that I was able to grasp it from the text of the novel. I had heard it was even denser than Mahouka and was expecting it to be impenetrable and dry, but so far it's written more like an actual novel and flows fairly well, while still imparting relevant information in a concise and usually clear manor. Compared to Mahouka, which would bring the narrative to screeching halt to spend a whole paragraph describing in elaborate detail the exact dimensions of a character's desert, this is an extremely welcome state of affairs.
This author seems pretty good.

I had a good chuckle when I skimmed the glossary and noted that they meant the same thing, but 'Tes' was used by associates of the Testament Union, and 'Judge' is noted as being used 'By criminals'.

Tadakatsu looking back from the massive explosion and seeing a vision of the late Kazuno behind him is just perfect.

Why did you download the TV rip? BD encodes have been out forever.
Damn that was good, and pretty clever. A shounen style "fight to decide who's right" face off, but with a load of economic and political subtext that leaves it making perfect sense.
I particularly enjoyed Shirojiro and his creative powers, as well as his explaining why defying the Testament Union was a viable/desirable option because they have a shitton of other people's money and loads of magical energy, all while demonstrating by using that money and energy to kick ass.
And what's even more amazing is that I was able to follow all of it as it happened. The barrier for entry may be high, but what's past it sure is something.
>>14243063
The power of money is an amazing thing.
There is more of it in season 2(Or if you're reading, volume 2)
>>14243063
That's one of the things I love the series for. I've always been particularly impressed with the anime version's ability to keep the viewer informed without ever really stopping the manic pace of the story for an exposition break.
>>14243063
He and his lover are ridiculous misers that have literally bathed in their money (there's an LN image of it). But when both of them spend, they do so gloriously. So damn gloriously.My last coin! Take it!
This episode, on the other hand, made my head spin. Too much politics too fast. I was at least able to follow the gist, if not all of the specifics.
Also, some smooth moves by Toori. First his turnabout in order to palm the job of concocting legitimate excuses to save Horizon off on the one person that could pull it off (and tricked her into doing so easily in spite of her intelligence), then expertly interceding to get the debate back on track after Seijun was starting to loose the crowd.
I'm really digging Toori. I liked him from the start, and he's only gotten more Captain Tylor since then.
>>14244079
The Seijun/Pope debate is pretty fast-paced, but the main thing to note is that she managed to force a scenario where Musashi would have an excuse to go to war with the Union without being considered the aggressors. All the rhetoric leading up to that point can be hard to follow, but just keep that end goal in mind and most of it falls into place.
>>14244146
Toori is too damn clever. He does certain stupid shit which may seem contrary to his stance, but it results in the outcome he wants.
>>14244146
>The Pope's reaction.
Oh god, how did I forget that. An ancient bastard who knows everything there is to know about debate and politics, and Toori still pulled one over his expectations.
>>14244171
Well yeah. I mean, that was apparent from day one (though in Horizon day one is like six episodes, though I digress), when after an entire episode where everyone tries and fails to lay hands on Makiko he shows up late and cops a feel from her, becoming the only one to actually accomplish it. They want you to know he's more than meets the eye.
>>14244171
I believe there's a saying: "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, fluster them with your bullshit."
And Toori is bullshit incarnate.
>>14244197
>Oh god, how did I forget that. An ancient bastard who knows everything there is to know about debate and politics, and Toori still pulled one over his expectations.
Masazumi also pulled a similar stunt on the Pope, and only to get him to move away. Of course, the Pope himself couldn't turn down a challenge.
>>14244818
I wouldn't say they were quite similar. Masazumi came up with a winning argument, but space pop just shrugged and sent his goon in. Meanwhile Toori so completely blindsided him as to have him doing what was just short of a spit take, which is pretty impressive for such a haughty composed character.

>space pope
He's future-past pope
>>14244890
To me, every pope is space pope.
>>14244914
Why did you switch from downloaded episode to streaming? Does your torrent program not have an ordered download option?
>>14244079
Toori know his stuff, that's for sure.
One thing about him is that he knows his classmates very well and lets them do things that they can do better than him.

On the bright side, it seems that Studio 8 is being permitted to make things that aren't Love Live again, so at least there's hope.
>>14245430
Why not Owari no Chronicle instead?
Do you not want the national anthems of 3 countries in the OST?
>>14244230
& not to mention his bullshit usually hit, damn right at the point.
Briliant basterd at the finest state i would say.

He may act like a moron, but he's damn competent under all the silliness.
>>14245593
Are there titty monsters in it?
>>14245593
How about this: Give us the four seasons of the prologue, then do Chronicle?
>>14245593
Honestly, Hexennacht is most likely to be the next animated Kawakami work.
>>14245715
>Are there titty monsters in it?
I don't remember any.
But there is an army of automaton maids anda MC that changes from female to male and vice versa.
>>14245761
Gay.

GAAAAAAAAY
>>14245698
So that little scandal led to nothing then?
>>14245715
Just the head maid automaton, the German witch milf and the enemy master swordswoman.
>>14245430
It hurts.
How do I into the LNs?
>>14252510
You read the primer here so you know what the hell's going on,
>>14215334
then you go to Baka Tsuki, same as any LN.
>>14252608
I never read those summaries until I was already completely through both anime seasons and halfway into the first volume.
>>14252648
Fine, I was just suggesting it because I found them helpful. You could always just jump in without them.
>>14252657
Well it helped that I had no idea it existed before that point. My entry into the series was an /m/ thread with this picture for the OP
>>14226331
and the text said "Big tits and robot fighting action. Sign me up." And I thought that sounds nice so I signed up too.
>>14245430
>>14229603
Don't lose hope! Remember there was once a time where we thought that FMP would never get a new season too.
>>14245502
>>14245698
Can't another studio just do Season 3 instead?
>>14257179
Don't remind me of that garbage
>>14257179
Another studio could but I don't think any other studio would be able to deal with Kawakami's high attention to detail.
>>14226309
This proves nothing
>>14257955
I dunno, seems pretty explicit to me.I love that after trying to couch it in metaphor he just describes in as much detail as possible.
>>14257955
But this does

and in case you want to say that graphically describing sex between a main character's parents doesn't prove he'll have the actual main characters have sex there's this.

Are they still shitting udon noodles?
>>14261043
No clue.
I haven't picked up from where I last read, and that was when Neito, Toori, Yuri Angel, and Neitomama were riding Unicorns in order to get back to Musashi. Ignore for the moment that Neitomama managed to ride a unicorn despite not being a virgin.It was under threat though; Neitomama would stop hunting and eating their kind for at least a year or so. The poor unicorn cried that it was no longer pure. Ironically,the one ridden by the blonde lesbian winged girl counts lesbians as still pure.
>>14261298
>Margot is pure
Well, it makes sense. Margot is the one that got turned on by a crying Malga and violated her, after all.
