Anyone is able to purchase the Silver Horn cad as long as they have a license for it, the same way you will need a license to own a firearms. Even with the license, the product itself is expensive to obtain, so many of the magician will op for the other product base on the same design.

Why is the other company able to create similar product? It's because the mysterious designer releases the blueprint for his technology rather than profiting off it. This cause the technology for magician to advance years ahead of its time. In a similar sense, it is like our current technology in regard to open-source software, and patents in some sense.

Tatsuya sure is good. Considering the captain's reaction to seeing him fight means he's quite capable himself.
Interested in seeing how this is going to develop. I'm liking it thus far.

I'm not going to lie, I think this so far has been fairly well animated for those who're approaching the series for the first time. But as someone who's had some familiarity with the LN and the manga, it really comes off as if they're cutting out a lot of material that, while not completely necessary, would've really helped this series along. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a complete purist when it comes to adaptations. On the other hand, some dialogue are cut out where it would've only taken fewer than 5 seconds to execute so it's not even a length issue. If Madhouse is concerned about budget, it simply shouldn't take on a project as big as Mahouka.

Just to name one example, when Morisaki and Tatsuya had that conversation after being named members of the disciplinary committee:
Ophis said:

Morisaki "Next time I won't be so careless."
Tatsuya "Next time." Huh. "Its a nice thought, to believe in a next time. If it was a real battlefield, there wouldn't be a next time."
Again, not completely necessary, but it was a huge quote in terms of Tatsuya's characterization and it just disappeared.

Yup quite satisfied myself with this adaption. They didn't cut back on the necessary explanations and the fighting was top-notch.

And for Tatsuya - kinda starting to see him as comparible to Accelerator. Not on terms of personality or his absolute power level, but in him acceling in analyzing and difficult on-the-fly-calculations.

That incest was delicious

Otherwise, a mediocre episode as always. I still hate the main character although he was somewhat badass in the fighting scene.

The MC is so overpowered that it kind of removes the possible tension from any encounter. He's so far above everyone else that I do hope at some point there is something that presents a challenge to him.

I get the feeling that Miyuki will be very jealous throughout the course of this series. Her bro is going to be a serious girl magnet

Lets ignore the incest stuff for now since it's too obvious at this point. I don't know If I've seen a duller anime story ever.

Also, super level headed and calm MC who goes out of his way to make scenes and show off his powers when he clearly said he was supposed to be flying under the radar.

This show is only interesting when his creepy incestuous sister is 300 miles away from getting screentime. If you could just totally delete her from the show, this'd be closer to a 7/10 than a 3/10, even if the MC is a really boring convoluted "too good for the system" trope.

Ok episode, I didn't particularly like it or dislike it. Did Tatsuya lose his memory of what happened when Miyuki did whatever she did to him? It looked like he was reset or something...
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Remember the guy with the red like uniform aiming a gun at Tatsuya while Tatsuya does the same to him? He's probably going to be Tatsuya's rival throughout the anime

Lmao, this anime explained how it lets the elites if magic within their school. There should be a good number of people who would give Tatsuya a hard time man.. :/

No it was just a prank by Miyuki, because she knew nothing bad would happen to him if she did that.

Yeah, I had to chuckle. But whatever, pretend you know nothing. If actual stuff worked in anime, characters would die from internal bleeding. :P

And, I love the action! I like that the MC has joined the committee and will be showing off his skills to the Course 1 students. The action at the end was really nice too. Gogogo!


Infodump was okay, I understood it in a general sense. Basically our MC is an expert in one of the aspects of magic that is not emphasized in usage or by tests. So he's OP in a different way from the others. ^^

I really don't get it why some of you are going like "Tatsuya is this! Tatsuya is that!" for his gym show. I mean they did show in episode 1 that he was taking on 7-8 ninjitsu practitioners all by himself.

Anyways, the minus of this episode was Miyuki and her brocon. The plus of this episode Mibu from the kendo team, unfortunately I know she isn't an important character.

The anime is interesting at least.

Just ignore it, the whole explanation for the fight was hilarious.

How did you move so fast?
That's 'cause he is learning ninjutsu with this famous sensei...

But how did you knock him out so easily?
It's thanks to this CAD built by this famous engineer... and compound waves

Compound waves?? How on earth..
I have super calculation skills, by the way, your method to determine magic skills sucks...

If he ends up having a harem he will say that Keima Katsuragi gave him some tips, also for the delight of the girls he probably might be able to summon Mara. Still, not OP.

My first time following a currently airing series and it felt like torture waiting for this episode, so i read the LN! :P (in other words, I know what happens in the LN, at least in the first 2 vols thus far... -_-)

Anyways, regarding this episode, they covered quite a lot of material frm the LN n it seemed to b moving alon pretty fast, which in some ways was good cos the first 2 episodes felt like they dragged on a bit, so this is the best episode, imo

But, like some others have mentioned, they'e cut out quite some scenes n lines tho. While some of these parts were not necessary, agn, like some others mentioned, one or two parts couldve easily been added...

When it came to explanations n how magic works, I can understand why some ppl wud b a little confused.Even after reading the LN, i still feel a little confused

Which makes me want to point out the fact that watching the anime actually helped me understand the mechanics of some of the magic... they animatsd the analysis of the morisaki vs tatsuya fight scene pretty well, and I believe watchin that alone was sufficient in explaining how tatsuya's magic works...

Btw, after watching this episode, i have this feeling Madhouse is focussing more on entertainment... as in, rather than bore everyone with the workings behind magic, which is difficult to understand even in the LN (or maybe i'm stupid...), they'd rather move the story along... i mean, it's not like as if not fully comprehending how the magic works will make me wanna drop the show... jus my opinion
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

I love this show oO I wasn`t sure if this will be a crap "Onii-chan I love you" story again, which was the reason why i never touched the manga but oh man what did i miss all this time! Tatsuya is such a BA and hasn`t got this totaly overused "Shonen-Personality" and is calm, which makes him a really comfortable Protagonist. I will read the LNs once I have time (already all of them on my Phone Baka-Tsuki app ftw!) as I already read in the wiki how awesome the series gets. I know SnK and SAO were really hyped, I was one of those that said they were overhyped and not as good as they seemed, but this Anime really caught my eyes, the Story is far better because everything gets explained and makes sense in a Way.
PS: That is my own opinion and no one elses, if you don`t think the same way be free to comment in a good way, if not and you comment with "SnK is the best Anime!! or SAO" pls get the fuck off and don´t even try to reply :D

It seems Tatsuya proves once again just how smart and powerful he is in his battle against the kenjutsu club.
