Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Infodump

S3 When?

penzuki — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:57:00 +0800

And apologies for the long silence with all the questions. Although there are loads more here that I haven’t answered, the one main question up in the air seems to be: will there be a season three or not?

The short answer: not yet

The long answer: not yet officially, because we have had no word from even Kawakami, who would probably be the most ecstatic about any news regarding S3. Is it in production? Maybe. Planning? Perhaps. Without any real insider info, there’s no real way to say for sure.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for it anytime soon though; it took over 2 years to make the 26 episodes of the Horizon anime, so unless they were already devoting time and effort to making it while it aired (which I doubt, as the studio’s efforts were concentrated on LoveLive), we won’t be getting any until late 2013 or 2014 at the earliest.

And even if there was news, I’d probably be the last to hear anyway. Still, I’ll update if any big news shows up.

By the way this place will be on hiatus because I have other things to do.

JS06 is translating Owari no Chronicle. would you be willing to answer questions relating that?

penzuki — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:51:46 +0800

My knowledge only goes as far as Horizon, and even then, countless others probably already know much more than I do anyway.

So no, I won’t be answering any questions because I know so little about OnC that I couldn’t possibly answer them with any reasonable level of confidence.

Any word on S3?

penzuki — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:03:34 +0800

Not a word, not a peep from Sunrise.

If there was, I probably would be the last to know anyway.

Also I won’t be monitoring this place anymore until said third season or if there’s some big news coming out, due to other personal commitments.

Sad to say, but I due to academic reasons (ergo, concentrating on my thesis and trying not to fail out of a scholarship for my masters), I have decided to no longer continue maintaining this infodump, as well as the scanlations.

~~This site will continue to stay up, but content will no longer be updated. Any questions sent here will be ignored.~~

~~Rest assured that shirts will still be sent.~~

I suppose it’s rather obvious that this was an April Fools thing. I am rather fond of jokes in bad taste, after all.

But yes, shirts will still be sent.

[Divine Transmission] Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 4koma Anthology...

[Divine Transmission] Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 4koma Anthology Ch01
Read online: Batoto

If you’ve been following the Horizon threads on 4chan, you’d already know that there’s been an effort to translate basically every single bit of Horizon that we can get our grubby little hands on. Including the manga, of course.

Someone uploaded scans of the Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 4koma Anthology (not to be mistaken with the Kyoukai Senjou no Horako-san 4koma), another anonymous person threw in translations, and Nackbjorn, the redrawer for the Horizon manga (non 4koma) helped with the edits and typesetting.

I myself haven’t contributed to this (asides this scan of the tankoubon cover, not included in the release) however, but I’d just like to promote it since, well, sharing is caring and such. Even if it is merely quasi-legal sharing/caring.

Also Nackbjorn asked me to.

Update #2 on the shirts!(the only Horizon-related thing...

penzuki — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:51:00 +0800

Update #2 on the shirts!
(the only Horizon-related thing I’ve had time to do as of late)

Packages for the first few orders are ready to go; just need to find a good time to ship these all. If I find a cheaper way to ship things, I’ll refund whatever savings there was to those who’ve paid.

An updated inventory on shirts currently available:

1M (small body, slightly large build)
4L (typical Asian male size; slim Western build)
2XL (large body or 5’10-ish up)
3XXL (5’10-ish up and a large build)

I’ve also thought about all the time and effort I put into this project, and I’ve realized that I just won’t have it in me to make more if I run out. Hence, this will be the first and last batch of shirts (a run of 30 shirts total) I’ll be making. The next batch won’t be for a long time, possibly never again. It’s just too much for me right now.

Again, those interested, shoot an e-mail over to halvanhalev☆gmail。com with your handle name (or however you’d like to be called), and what size shirt(s) you want.You can check the price and shipping rates here. Payment is only through PayPal so please make sure you can pay via that.

Shirts are done! Apologies for the wrinkles, this was the shirt...

penzuki — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:37:00 +0800

Shirts are done!

Apologies for the wrinkles, this was the shirt I took out to test, and I didn’t have any other place to lay it on other than my bed.

I need some time to organize invoicing and shipping and stuff because I’m busy with coursework + thesis work right now, so please be patient for a little longer.

Update:

I got a couple questions asking about extra shirts or something; I made sure to have a few extra shirts in inventory in the inevitability that the interest spanned beyond the readership of this place.

As of this moment, there are still these shirts in inventory:

1S (small body, small build)
1M (small body, slightly large build)
7L (typical Asian male size; slim Western build)
2XL (large body or 5’10-ish up)
3XXL (5’10-ish up and a large build)

Primarily due to a number of orders being cancelled, plus some extra stock. If you’re interested, shoot an e-mail over to halvanhalev☆gmail。com with your handle name (or however you’d like to be called), and what size shirt(s) you want.You can check the shipping rates here. Payment is only through PayPal so please make sure you can pay via that.

Awfully late, but Happy Valentines to all the readers, followers, and Horizon fans out there!

And for those who don’t have a significant other *cough cough*, don’t worry, even Tenzou found Mary so that means nothing’s impossible for you all out there!

Long time no see Sensei! Thanks for all the hard work as always. For people who are wondering about the circumstance for horizon on B-T. B-T has no control over their translators. All the translators are volunteers. Its just a tool to keep everything in order. The current active translator has decided to move all their translations to nanodesu. The translation isn't dead its just migrated. Whether it gets stalled or translated its up to the translators discretion after all.

penzuki — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 00:12:10 +0800

Just publishing this to notify anyone following the project, as I’m reading (or at least, desperately trying to) the novels raw.

Is there a rough estimate/schedule on the shirts?

penzuki — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:24:43 +0800

I’ve passed the order down to the makers; they said it would take at least 2 weeks, although maybe up to, and over a month (end of February) since they’re backlogged with other orders from Christmas.

Lecture 1 is complete and uploaded! It can be viewed here: /watch?v=VBUxDkM2ycc

penzuki — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:08:35 +0800

↑ Just letting everyone know.

Sensei, I saw a picture somewhere on the map featuring Neito confronting her Mother, does this mean there might be a season 3 in production?

penzuki — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:08:12 +0800

For now, it’s just promo art.
For now.

Was the name of Asama-san's bow Umetsubaki or Kataume?

penzuki — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:07:50 +0800

Kataume is her typical shortbow; she can combine both, as seen when she shoots the Tres Españan ships in seasons 1 and 2, into a much larger bow, Umetsubaki.

I just want to know if there's a particular name of the bells(?) that Suzu uses.

penzuki — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:06:00 +0800

I do believe they were named “Suspended Type Hearing Aid ‘Oto-nari-san’”.

The kanji are 音鳴りさん, a homophonic play on “Mr. Neighbor” (お隣さん), and “Mr. Ringy”.

It seems to be a system that also includes her headphone-like thing.

Shirt Orders Closed.

penzuki — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 02:19:44 +0800

All 20 slots have been filled and I’ll be sending the order to the shirt maker.

For whoever wasn’t able to put in an order, don’t worry as I’ll be making sure there are a few extra shirts in stock in case anyone wants to pick one up.

Updates to follow once shirts have been made.

Can I use your translations of the lectures as subs? I've been thinking of subbing the lecture videos so it'd be easier for everyone.

penzuki — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:23:33 +0800

Sure, no problem. Someone else was already making subs for the first video too, though I can’t contact him directly. Posts are just floating around on 4chan somewhere.

Notice on Shirts

penzuki — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:26:00 +0800

Read: Orders are now closed

There seems to be some sort of issue with tumblr’s submissions where a bunch seem to be filtered out automatically for some reason.

You can check the orders I have in the inbox on this page.

If your order isn’t here (which it most likely isn’t), please just send me an e-mail to:

halvanhalev ★ gmail → com

With the particulars:

Handle name (however you want me to address you)
Number of shirts
Sizes for each shirt (in case you’ll be getting some for other people)
Country of destination

I’ll update the page ASAP with any orders.

Again, apologies for any inconveniences caused.

Update on Horizon Shirts

penzuki — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:55:00 +0800

Right guys, so I’ve gotten word back from the shirt maker.

The tentative price for the embroidered shirts is 17 USD + shipping worldwide from the Philippines (yes, Philippines).

Based on the number of submissions from people interested, I’ll be making a small production run of 20 shirts for now. I also don’t have the money to have a larger inventory made at once too, so please understand. Student’s budget and all.

Sizes range from Asian S to XXXL (there may be larger sizes, but I haven’t inquired further yet). For Western sizes, simply increase by one size (ergo, a Western M is an Asian L). For comparison, I’m around 5’9 to 5’10, and though rather thin, I take an L size shirt (XL also works for me, but it’s a bit baggy). Note: XXL and XXXL sizes cost an additional dollar.

There are also women’s shirts available for those interested. These have shorter sleeves. They really will feel weird for men, so I wouldn’t suggest that guys wear these. But if you want one, just indicate that you want it for women.

I’ll be taking orders until we hit 20 shirts, or until the third week of January (in which case, I’ll just be making a bunch of medium and [mostly] large-size shirts to fill in the gap).

No payment upfront yet until the shirts are done, though it will be through PayPal - I’ll make a proper page for it then in case there are some leftover shirts in the inventory. For now, please send in a question with the following information:

Handle name
Number of shirts
Sizes for each shirt (in case you’ll be getting some for other people)
Country of destination
Contact information (e-mail*, twitter, tumblr, any way I can reach you)

* - emails are blocked by default (a tumblr thing) so you can word it like so:
emailaddress_at_mailprovider_dot_com

Alternately, send all that info to halvanhalev☆gmail。com

I was wondering if you knew about the ongoing Horizon manga, and the new (though quite minor) information it gives about the setting? For example, in chapter 5 it's explained that Neshinbara and Naomasa are (sort of) inherited names (they are derived from Ii Naomasa and Sakakibara Yasumasa).

penzuki — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:54:00 +0800

Yes, actually, I do know about it - I’m the one translating it.

I don’t really try to publicize this stuff, so sorry if I caused a bit of confusion.

Ah! Thank you for the translation of the second lecture! Keep up the good work!

penzuki — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:54:00 +0800

Thanks! I’ll be getting to the third and fourth sometime later on.

Much later on.
