What is Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere?
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere is an action-fantasy series that blends alternate history, science fiction, and comedy into an ambitious premise. Set in a far future where humanity has returned to Earth and recreated it through pocket dimensions, the story follows refugees living aboard the city ship Musashi. When the historical record they've been following stops revealing events beyond the year 1648 of the Testament Era, student council president Toori Aoi seizes the moment to rally his classmates toward reclaiming their nation. The series aired in fall 2011 with thirteen episodes that establish an expansive world of political intrigue, magical warfare, and genuine humor amid high-stakes conflict.
This is a show built on spectacle and scope rather than simplicity. The premise layers multiple concepts—post-apocalyptic survival, dimensional engineering, historical reenactment as law, and classroom-based adventuring—into a single narrative that demands attention from viewers. Those drawn to complex worldbuilding, large ensemble casts, and series that balance dramatic moments with absurdist comedy will find material to engage with. The finished status means the complete first season is available to watch in full, though the story structure suggests ongoing material beyond these thirteen episodes.
In the far future, humans abandon a devastated Earth and traveled to outer space. However, due to unknown phenomenon that prevents them from traveling into space, humanity returns to Earth only to find it inhospitable except for Japan. To accomodate the entire human population, pocket dimensions are created around Japan to house in the populace. In order to find a way to return to outer space, the humans began reenacting human history according to the Holy book Testament. But in the year 1413 of the Testament Era, the nations of the pocket dimensions invade and conquer Japan, dividing the territory into feudal fiefdoms and forcing the original inhabitants of Japan to leave. It is now the year 1648 of the Testament Era, the refugees of Japan now live in the city ship Musashi, where it constantly travels around Japan while being watched by the Testament Union, the authority that runs the re-enactment of history. However, rumors of an apocalypse and war begins to spread when the Testament stops revealing what happens next after 1648. Taking advantage of this situation, Toori Aoi, head of Musashi Ariadust Academy's Supreme Federation and President of the student council, leads his fellow classmates to use this opportunity to regain their homeland.
