Season 2 will once again directed by Manabu Ono (MY HIME, SAKI) and employ a staff of four Character Designers -- Tomoyuki Fujii, Shinya Nishizawa, Yukiko Aikei and Kanta Suzuki -- to adapt the original concepts by Satoyasu (TENKY), while script supervision and adaptation remains in the capable hands of Tatsuhiko Urahata (NANA, MASTER KEATON, MONSTER, STRIKE WITCHES 2).

Now, as the quest of Horizon’s emotions builds to its climax, Tori’s new battle is about to begin in the land ruled by the Fairy Queen! The reenactment of the history described in the mysterious Testament continues as the secret of the Armor of Deadly Sins is unleashed in the spectacular second season of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere! HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE II will soon be available digitally, with a home video release on DVD & BD to follow in 2013.
