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.

Where it came from
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere was produced by the studio Sunrise and first aired in 2011 as an adaptation of the light novel series written by Minoru Kawakami and illustrated by Satoyasu. The production was notable for its dense world-building and complex narrative structure, which attempts to translate the immense scale of the source material's lore into an animated format.
The series was designed to reflect the steampunk-inspired, futuristic fantasy aesthetic established in Kawakami's writing, emphasizing intricate character designs and elaborate mechanical motifs. Upon its release, the show was recognized for its high production values and visual ambition, though critics often noted that its convoluted plot and rapid pacing made it a challenging entry for viewers unfamiliar with the original novels.
