YMMV / Sound Horizon

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Most of the Moira album. But in particular, tracks 13 and 14.
  • Broken Base: Whether or not Sound Horizon albums are better before Aramary left or after she left. Pre-Aramary fans think that the newer albums don't sound the same nor do they have the same charm with Aramary voicing and singing in the albums. Post-Aramary fans, on the other hand, prefer the variety of new voices joining in the albums and think it adds more color to the album's story.
  • Crack Ship: Snow White x Sleeping Beauty has a following. Fans usually pair them up by having them realize the prince (as the same person) wans't all that great to them and decide to divorce him and marry eachother instead.
  • Creator Worship: Fans have taken to calling Revo "his majesty" and pledging their allegiance to him after every concert. Revo just decided to roll with it.
  • Fan Nickname:
    • Heika/His Majesty: Revo
    • Tettere: The Princes from Märchen
    • Idoko: The Well Girl from "Sei To Shi Wo Wakatsu Kyoukai No Furuido", due to a popular theory that she's Idolfried Ehrenberg's daughter.
    • Thanako: The insomniac girl from the album Thanatos
    • Lost-ko: The winged girl on the cover of Lost
    • Buranko: The Swing Girl from "Kuroki Okami No Yado"
    • Aohigeko: The wife of Bluebeard from "Aoki Hakushaku no Shiro"
  • Fridge Horror:
    • "Sei To Shi Wo Wakatsu Kyoukai No Furuido" is a bright, rockish song that really stands out compared to the rest of the album. Even the contents of the song wasn't dark or creepy(there were no deaths or bloodshed, for one). However, during the live concert, the bonus track "Kuroki Shi no Shinkou:" (read:"The March of the Black Death") was played before and after the song. Then you realize the very real possibility of the 'pitch' that the stepmother's daughter brought back being the black death bacteria, thus contributing significantly to the spread of the black death. Granted, this is only one interpretation of it, albeit an uncomfortably plausible one.
    • In the Live DVD, the silhouette of a rat was shown at the end of the song which more or less confirms the suspicion.
    • Ever seen a picture of someone with the black death? Screw bacteria, the girl wasn't covered in pitch, she was covered in the blackened dead flesh the bubonic plague causes...
  • Memetic Bystander: Idolfried Ehrenberg has exactly two lines in Märchen, neither of which have anything to do with the plot. Fans have nonetheless constructed an entire backstory for himnote , which may or may not be exactly what was intended.
  • Memetic Mutation: Thanks to Nico Nico Douga and YouTube, "Guren no Yumiya" is now anime's answer to Guile's Theme.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Märchen seems to be teetering dangerously close to this. Within a month of the single's release, people were shipping him with Elise, Elisabeth, März, Hiver Laurant and the PV dancers to boot.
  • Moe: Pico Magic
  • More Popular Spin-Off: Revo uses the name "Linked Horizon" for when he is making music based on other creators' works, rather than his own stories, such as the soundtracks to the Bravely Default games and the openings and endings to Attack on Titan. Plenty of fans of the latter love the songs, but have no idea that Sound Horizon exists.
  • Nightmare Fuel: In Elysion, Elise in the official music video for the first track is a really scary doll.
    • The illustration on the back cover of Elysion ~Rakuen Gensō Monogatari Kumikyoku~. Like the front cover, it depicts Abyss standing behind El, with the five girls from the Abyss tracks standing in a row behind them. However, in this version of the image, Abyss has glowing red eyes and a Slasher Smile, El is smiling eerily and her dress appears to be splattered with blood, and there are depictions of the murders that the five girls committed in the background.
    • In "Garasu no Hitsugi de Nemuru Himegimi", Snow White's sadistic joy as she watches her stepmother's Cruel and Unusual Death.
    • "Aoki Hakushaku no Shiro" in its entirety, but particularly the sequence which depicts the previous wives' murders.
    • The Wham Line in "Yield": "Ah ... but isn't that a head?"
  • Tear Jerker: In Roman, Etoile's story. It's very likely that it will make you cry or at least shed some tears.
    • In Moira, track 12. Dear goodness, track 12.
    • The way Revo performed that scream was heartrending.
    • In Marchen, fans cried during the moment Elizabeth gave Mar a cool down hug in 'Haritsuke no Seijo'. Some fans cried during the moment Elizabeth made Mar remind him of who he was in the past instead.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Again, Aramary. And every time a new CD is released.
  • Toy Ship: in Ido e Itaru Mori e Itaru Ido.
