Every second of this has been painful for me. I'm going to have to drop it because I think I'll be braindead by episode 3 if I have to keep watching the duo of blushing little sister who requires permission from her brother to do everything and can't say anything but "oniisama" and her gary stu big brother with the personality of a plank of wood. It's even worse that there's hinted incest all over the place. Terrible.

Does he take the role as part of the disciplinary team at the end? (To manga readers). For some reason, I don't want him to be part of their team and instead just be a lone wolf -_- seems more better that way but oh well

So far, so good. Loving this series thus far, considering the hype it got I wasn't sure what to expect at first. This has the potential to be one of the best of the season already. Hopefully it keeps it up.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

I knew the fight was short from the LN but wow, that was way shorter than I thought lol.

For ppl to call him out as a gary stu is not right imo, you can already see him during the practicals that he had really slow (even for weeds) casting speed which is one of the fundamental areas emphasized for exams, therefore putting him in course 2 no matter how good his theoretical score is.

2. Maybe tatsuya did poorly on the exams to avoid work

Why are people throwing comments around of characters being OP all the time? Just because a character is strong or has a hidden extra ability doesn't automatically make them OP, only when it gets ridiculous or very boring on the longer run you should use the term OP.
The base strength of a character you've just known about for 2 episodes isn't automatically OP when he's stronger than some arrogant other student. Ugh.


Exactly.

I read 12 volumes and I don't find him OP as hell as you say. An OP character is someone who can beat anyone easily, like that guy in Hagare Yuusha. With all the magics, magicians and everything I read in this LN, I still don't see how he could do that.

1. Right~

2. Nope, as you can see in the ep, when they were moving those block-shaped object forward, Tatsuya takes longer time to cast magic compared to Erika. As Miyuki said it's just that the methods of assessment for the practical weren't suit to judge his true powers. The same can be said to some of his Weed friends.

It was a decent episode. It's pretty obvious the MC is op, I can't wait to see him owning everyone that challenges him. The sister definitely likes him more than a brother considering how she blushed at his joke.

Miyuki looks like a princess who knows nothing about the real world, always looking for her brother to assist her, witch by the way is a very strong caracter (force n personality). The way she said about the methods of practice reminded me of the vestibular, like he's good at science but it was math exam xD

It seems like the little sister is joining the student council while her brother joins the disciplinary committee.
Tatsuya showed the vice president that he can 1-hit KO him.
The ending is a really big cliffhanger and I can't to see the next episode.

I am waiting for Miyuki to cut loose, that they have built her up (class No. 1), but haven't yet shown her use any power suggests that when she does show what she has it will be good.

Good character building with Tatsuya, they didn't drag out the all too obvious fact that he is powerful, instead showing it quickly and in good fashion. Showing him doing martial arts last episode was a good segue into his ability to rapidly suppress a foe, and this of course ties into the first minute of the opening episode which showed that his was a warrior during the previous war (it also explains the relationship between Tatsuya and his sister, strange how many people seem ignorant that there are other emotions outside of lust).

So, the big question to be answered next episode is what is Tatsuya's point in pretending not to be strong. We know that his power is more natural than CAD powered, which could suggest why most people think he is weak and why he didn't score high on the entrance exam (testing for the wrong thing), could be he has some sort of PTSD from the war (which would explain why Miyuki is over protective of him), or it could be that there something bigger involved.

Figure we will know this fairly soon (probably next two episodes), the writing has, so far, been pretty crisp, so I don't think that they are going to drag that out either.

But so far enjoying the series, once again after initial disappointment in a cour, several shows start to separate themselves from the field, this is one.

is this show supposed to be harem?

ost was great this episode.

i almost felt bad for the vice president but he kinda deserved it. decent build up for a fight that didn't even last 10 seconds.

i'm glad they explained what a CAD was but i still had to look it up. sounds pretty cool

also, the incest levels in this episode were running dangerously high. even if the light novels don't have any incest in them, madhouse is really projecting this show as an incest story which was obvious with miyuki's reaction to tatsuya's comment

Tatsuya is both op and at the same time, weak.

In terms of combat experience, he's no different than a few of the noticeable character in the series that you have already met and other character you've haven't met yet.

Also, magic is something new to their world, and they still don't understand how it fully works but they try to piece together what they can understand.

For those looking for explanations about CAD and magic, check out: Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Yoku Wakaru Mahouka (aka the specials that aired before episode 1, especially the 2nd one)

Anyway, this episode was really great. Tatsuya is so awesome owning Hattori in a second XD Explanation for the fight coming up in the next episode.

Nono please, spare us.

I also loved Tatsuya making the point that he really didn't care much about anything but his sister. The only reason he even challenged the VP was to prove that Miyuki was an infallible magician who was not prone to nepotism.

In one word, friend: Politic

Up to Vol.8(Ep 30?), they're just foreshadow. The real thing starts Vol.9 onward.

but really, I'm a LN reader and the first two eps were pretty boring. Detailed explanation about magic and the world are what make this novel interesting. I hope we will get the real explanation next episode............. they not expecting the audience to watch the chibis do they?
