| So... why exactly are people asking LN readers about what's to come if asking only brings about trouble and spoilers? I thought the LN fans were the last people you guys wanted answers from. |

waterflame said: Choo choo, here comes the hate train! That's cool :) ... just make sure to simply pass this station and leave without bothering the people here. The fans of this are so annoying, hyping it so much. This caused me to pain myself with the first 20 pages of the 1st novel(which I immediately dropped) and the anime's first episode doesn't really make it any better. In other words, your upcoming analysis is based on the first 20 pages of the LN, and the first episode of a 26-episodes anime. Thanks for confirming. It was plain boring. Lots of characters and every single one of them useless and/or nothing more than stereotypical. Gee, there were ~15 characters in 20 minutes, what did you expect? All of them received at least an initial introduction including hints about them. Just for the initial classmates: Erika: Swordsgirl, genki type Mizuki: Eyes with special sensitivity to magic Leo: Imposing, confrontational Sorry man. It's not the show's fault if you're as oblivious a viewer as lazy a reader. It's fine if you don't like the show - please just leave. But if you're incapable of picking up the details, please watch something more suited for you. Pokemon might worth a shot :) |

Yes it has a very interesting plot but it's just another annoying fanboy speaking so feel free to ignore. Dude, calm down. Ignore the haters. They have the right to express their opinions too. This anime was hyped to the max, so of course a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Well i am having problem with the trolls rather than haters............but you are right, i need to chill. Thanks. You remind of one poster in gamefaqs that doesn't want to accept another's opinion because of you loving something that others do not. |
| All this hype for... I hope this will improve, really. This incest vibe I think it could have been easily avoided, for me it's truly futile. The main male is not terrible, but surely not fantastic. The main female is empty. Cute, yes, but transparent. Plain animation band normal character design. The artwork is not what madhouse usually does. |

waterflame said: I have a feeling Mahouka will be like Horizon, lots of world building and explantions until the director says fuck it, let's cut to the action. I did it too, after reading the initinial LN pages, I went to the manga to see MC in action. |

| The art looks really nice. The characters looked quite interesting. Love the OST! Have high hopes for this anime! Overall was a nice 1st episode to the series |
| They did a good job of visualizing magic in this series. Animation and art, especially in that one fight scene, as well as the music (damn, the bgm was awesome) were pretty good. Other than that, this story isn't really one to kick start so it wasn't too special. |
| only disliked the little sister... why has every little sister to be a bro-con o_o oh well, lets see whether i drop it or not |
| current LN reading: Death March kara hajimaru isekai kyousoukyoku translated here for those who are interested in other forums about animes, check randomc.net, reddit.com/r/anime and forum.animesuki.com |
| Love the animation, but not much else. The oniisama and implied incest was annoying. 3/5 |

waterflame said: I'm not an inpatient viewer, nor reader. I know claiming that I can see for myself if something is actually good from the first episode is a bad thesis, but I know when something's good and when it's not. There's difference between an impatient viewer's unfairness to a slow paced story and normal reaction to a lame popular story. Believe me, I have been patient with a lot of books/shows but 15/24 minutes of "onii-sama", constant blushing and "Ooh, I'll now fight you because I'm such a villain and this story actually needs plot development" certainly prove that this anime doesn't deserve patience. And the hype is making it worse, like I feel obligated to hate it because it simply doesn't live up to the expectations for me. Edit, cause of the post above me: I really hope so. And I haven't given up on this, I want to know what all the fuss is about. So I really want it to become something I could care about and not some random plotless blockbuster. Lucky for you, seems like they're going for 8 volumes in 26 episodes so you can see what the hype was all about. Enrollment Chapter (Vol 1-2) 12 chapters = 6 episodes (1-6) -Introduction arc Nine Schools Competition Chapter (Vol 3-4) 14 chapters = 7 episodes (7-13) - Things start to get better from here Summer Holiday Chapter (Vol 5) 2 chapters = 2 episodes (14-15) - Some necessary side-stories Yokohama Disturbance Chapter (Vol 6-7) 13 chapters = 7 episodes (16-22) - Badass things, hype arc Reminiscence Chapter (Vol 8) 18 short chapters = 4 episodes (23-26) - Flashback |
| Tatsuya says that he needs to stay away from Mizuki in order to keep her from discovering his secret, so why does he immediately follow that up by sitting next to her in class and then having lunch with her? |
Shaduge said: How disappointing after all this hype. Add more cheesy lines and incest scenes will you. You will get both, rejoice! |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: Oh great the trolls and haters already started their bullshit. The author did a great job regarding characterization.......stop spreading self-made NONSENSE. I didn't know Charlie Sheen posted on the MAL forums. What a surprise. You heard it hear first folks. Despite all of the characters being poorly-defined archetypes, if you don't think they're all amazingly written, you're both a troll and a hater. |

| I believe anime-only watchers are bashing the series or calling it a masterpiece from the get-go only because it will be extremely popular, not because it's legitimately bad or amazing so far. The extreme hate or worship for it seems so fake to me, like it's your immature bunch just spouting nonsense on how the series is pure crap or best shit ever before they even watched it. I do understand people loving it all already since it's an adaptation of their favorite LN, an I hear it follows it well so far. I'm not sure it's going to be my favorite of the season or bad just from the introductory episode. This series is clearly a series that will take time to build upon the setting and develop the characters. The first episode gave me an impression of a slow introduction of an intelligent series with a likeable and powerful Main Character, the kind I like. However I don't jump on the bandwagon and call it a masterpiece or really bad just yet. The hate doesn't seem pure trolling even, it seems like dismissing a series with potential to entertain just like that. I see no reason to do that just yet. |

| Never enough onii-sama's ^.^ Good introduction, liking the OST and characters, let's get this story rollin'! |
| It was your typical 'first episode.' I might be a little biased because I've been following the novel for a few years now, but I enjoyed it and will continue watching. Lots of overreaction from other posters after only one episode though. |
| Yeah maybe a bit too much onisama's. At least it isn't onichans. Interesting start. A bit typical of a high school setting. Reminds me a bit of Conception II: Children of Seven Stars which is unfortunate... |

Hakuryuukou said: lol I don't even remember what was the special episodes about.So they cut the infodumps afterall. Is it because they already spat it out on those specials ? Well overall it's a good episode. Miyuki is kinda annoying a bit just as i expected but i will bear with it :) Be ready guys, i already can see elitists armed with tons of hate and bashes about incest or gary-stu MC incoming XD This should be fun |
| Do you like cakes? You don't like cakes? I like cakes. |
| Great production values - this IS Madhouse, after all - but holy crap the little sister annoys me to no end. MC seems kinda bland, too. Let's see where this goes. |

The artwork is not what madhouse usually does. QFT. 3/5 for the episode and 7/10 for the show so far. Will keep watching it though and hope it improves, as this season looks remarkably shitty for me. |
| I liked it. No real complaints. Just have to wait and see how they pace the rest. Didn't really expect everyone to be hating the "onii-sama" so much. If it really bothers you so much, you might want to drop this... I mean, that's all Miyuki ever calls him :P |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
| This was moderately disappointing. The characters were as dry as a bone, and the direction was bland. But I could see that some bits could get interesting. |

I thought that at first too but at the pace they're going and with the flashback earlier, this is the most plausible one. Also, Masaki already appeared in the 1st OP so that's another indicator. |
| Well, that sure was boring. I hope it gets better. |

| The incest game is strong in this one... the fact that so many Oreimo seiyuu are working together on this show is also not helping. More Hayami Saori is appreciated though. When I heard her voice in Bakuman I was rooting for Hayami to get more acting rolls in the future. I've noticed she's the lead in Kamigami Asobi along with Mahouka. As far as the show goes, I hope it keeps up the quality in terms of animation and plot. The discrimination thing with magic users and less-adept(?)/non-magic users has been done to death, but I'd like to know how these magicians-in-training become militia later on; I guess the fact that this school is owned by the state gives that away a bit? |
