Synopsis

The extremely talented siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba shine bright in their own right as they start their second year at First High School, the premier institute for magicians. Seeing as the pair are inseparable, it seems unimaginable that their loving bond did not exist just four years ago. Back then, the middle schooler Miyuki was uncomfortable around her older brother. She and her family thought of Tatsuya as nothing more than a lowly servant to perform guardian duties for Miyuki; a mere tool lacking emotions and his own will. However, their relationship was fated to change forever once their innocuous family trip to Okinawa transformed into a life-threatening incident.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Tsuioku-hen (2021)

As far as films covering a backstory goes this was greatly done. I appreciate most of what happens here is spoken about in various episodes of the existing anime beforehand but at least here it is all put together and also has a visual viewing rather than a story on its own.

The art is the same as the show always is, I love this. It doesn't change apart from being more polished which again I love. Some shows change art between seasons from different companies and it kind of ruins the feeling unless it's epic. Take Attack on Titan, ...

This prologue episode is a slightly more personal story, showing an incident that built the deep bond Tatsuya and Miyuki share with each other. It, however, still suffers from all the pacing and plot issues from the main series – escalating in an insane manner and not doing anything to de-stupify the core premise of the show... Maybe even worse, as the explanation it gives for Tatsuya's treatment is beyond stupid and makes the whole magical aristocracy of Japan look like even bigger morons than before.

The one thing this special does better than main seasons of the show is exposition – there are fewer ...

The fact that they didn't start this series with an actual origin story, turning episode 1 into a prequel movie, should tell you what kind of shit-show you're dealing with here.

At-least this movie is slightly better than the actual series, probably because Tatsuya isn't surrounded by a harem constantly jacking him off, worshiping his every move. The annoying as shit sister, with the personality of a loli-incest fuck-doll made in Japan, is less annoying, at-least until she begins her incestuous brother worship by the end of the movie.

Art is the same as the show, nothing mind blowing happening here. Art was never the issue ...

Those LJNs should have adapted this just after or close to the first season when Mahouka was still fresh.
