Both of them talking about the yostuba and maya in the middle of the picture. I'm loving this. Wonder if the fact that they are yotsuba is already revealed at this point or not ^^ Nice maybe spoiler there. Calm down fanboy. It's not that big of a spoiler. And yeah the anime is pretty boring at the moment. The first arc in general is bad until the very ending, where it gets a bit better. Starting on arc 2 the awesomeness-level of this anime starts incresing exponentially. Must be nice being able to see the future. yeah, for the first 3 episodes this anime seems boring (not for me, of course) but I think this arc will get more serious, and get better :3 An for this Episode, it's a nice decision for Manabu Ono to not insert the OP >_< I rather see the infodumps than the OP. Hm....I'm get a little dissapointed for Ono Sensei's character design and Seiyuu >w< She seems...to moe ? and fat :v LOL |
| Why am I not surprised at the number of people who voted 5? In what way can ANYONE "love" this episode? It's 20 minutes dedicated to boring conversations. See at least with Bakemonogatari, you can say we get nice visuals and some wit, but we didn't even get that here. To top it off, the conversations don't contribute anything to the story at all. Also, didn't all you fanboys say there was no "fanservice" in this show? Nice zoom in on the councilor's boobs and thighs BTW! |

But I don't blame you if you're an anime-only viewer since some things might confuse you with all the infodumps crammed in this episode. All of these are related to all of the four arcs that are adapted this season so maybe rewatching after the season ends will give you a better idea and bigger picture on the whole things. Oh, about the fanservice, that was on the studio's part since there's no picture of that in the LN. Anyway, compared to most anime, the fanservice is quite tame in this anime since we barely get any boob show except for Miyuki's CAD scene and the beach chapter later. Though I'm sure the studio will make up for the lack of fanservice by zooming on the girls like the one we got this episode and I see they will get a lot of chance to do that in the 2nd arc since it's mostly sports so we'll get lots of shots on the girls wearing sports attire. |

| Oh God this episode is so boring, it's not like i'm one of those action fanboy or something, but, how they chose to explain things are sooooo freaking boring, and the fanservice and incest scene are seriously cringeworthy, i need to fastforwarded a lot, which i don't fucking understand why because i love fanservice and i love moe and i love incest!!! There must be something wrong with the direction. Takuan_Soho said: That's actually quite a good explanation but it doesn't felt that way in the anime, in the anime i feel like they keep forcing that the sibling's relation is purely INCEST INCEST INCEST!! It seems like the director think the anime viewer are dumb!! I'm offended by his direction. ugh i give up maybe i should read the LN |

Let's wait and see. I'm with you guys on that, I had to keep pausing the episode to understand what they were even talking about. |
EasyGo-er said: skudoops said: Does this show get more/better action scenes? If you're talking about actions, yeah it gets better every arc with the 3rd arc being the peak of action. The amount of action would be like this iirc : 3rd arc > 2nd arc > 4th arc > 1st arc What makes you so sure it'll get better? Sure the arc in LN was good but it was the same with SAO and I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you what happened when they adapted the ALfheim arc. |

Sure the arc in LN was good but it was the same with SAO and I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you what happened when they adapted the ALfheim arc. Well, he was asking about the action parts, and my reply answers just that since Madhouse is popular for their action scenes. As for SAO, A-1 have never done a decent action series before, and them butchering the adaptation didn't help either. While the downside for Mahouka is its infodumps, I see that they've handled it quite well these 4 episodes. Madhouse will deliver on the action, just trust them. |
| This show is testing my patience. I do not care so much about the boring info dumps since it might be necessary to set up the plot later. However, the incest scenes are really annoying and Miyuki is getting more and more unbearable with each episode. Her obsession with her brother, hear bouts of unwarranted jealousy, her borderline violent tendencies are really getting on my nerves and preventing me from enjoying the show fully. I really wish Tatsuya will put her into her place, but he also seems to worship her so it won't happen. Also, does every girl need to blush when talking to Tatsuya? Does every other male character need to be either an asshole or a doormat? This show is a harem, plain and simple. |
LazyLuong said: I'm more interested in the upcoming episodes since the combat scenes are done better. As for cramming information into the series, I don't believe it really need a script for them all. It is possible to include those information within the subtle details of the character's attitudes, behaviours, speech, or even short clips that were added/altered. Such subtle details don't take extra screen time from the episode, whereas monologue does, but there is also the production deadline factor too. Most adaptation don't take the liberty to make such alteration to make it better, maybe it's due to their agreement, but who knows. We'll be getting a taste of those actions next episode :3 I just hope that they wouldn't put it near the end of the episode again like almost every previous episodes cause I'd hate to wait for another episode again for some good actions. Yeah, they just need to include story-related information for now since the 1st arc is already dull as it is. Things like Psion and Pushion won't need to be expanded upon yet until the Visitor arc which wouldn't be included this season. I'm sure everyone can guess what Psions is from the visual since it's practically the same as Mana in other anime. And I love all of the subtle things they've added in the anime so far. Makes for a good rewatch when you've understand the whole things better :) |

| Heh, Tatsuya, you're such a flirty gigolo, muahahaha. I am having this thoughts. Do the siblings act more than just brother and sister intensely? Meh, Miyuki didn't have to be jealous in the first place. Btw, pretty decent episode tough. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Great... an episode that consist on the MC going from point A to point B talking his head off and making all the girls blush in the process, just the kind of episode this anime needed. Mari and sometimes Erika are the only saving grace of this show. Dropped. |
 |
| cool this is getting more and more interesting |
 |
| Baaah. I really wanna watch the parts i didn't read yet xD i wonder how long they will span this arc in the anime. |
 |
| WOW WHERE IS THAT PHENOMENAL OP? Not that I'm complaining with the amount of material covered in this episode. As expected, the student council and Disciplinary committee members were investigating the situation that happened during the Kenjutsu club and enquiring about it from Tatsuya. Juumonji looks like a gorilla. *FACE-DESK*Those reactions from Erika and Leo were so funny. XD More info-dumping, gotta love how MH is handling the info-dump smoothly for now, no complains at this moment that much. Well, just with that explanation, we know much of of an important person Tatsuya is with all his dealings. Lol, Miyuki was jealous of Mibu? That was cute. And her Yandere-side is showing up too. XDXD Gotta love how straightforward Tatsuya is, even Mari was blushing because of his teasing too.^^ WTF! Haruka-sensei is so fat? They made her into an obasan. And her cutesy-voice doesn't suit her at all. I can't look at her as a sensei-character at all now. That was nice subtle foreshadowing of what will happen in next episodes. Miyuki was <333 with her braids. Looks like vol2 has started and I need to start reading the LN again. This episode was kinda slow though. |
 |
| Well, good episode(?), had some boring parts. That sensei looked fishy. I am not too fond of the current arc. 6.75/10 |
 |
| You know me, I don't usually drop series but damn this one....I almost dropped it but I didn't because I saw how much "love" Marine and many other have for this series, so I'll be sticking with this one even though I really hate the "incest" yandere aspects of it, I wouldn't mind the yandere clinginess if the girl was someone who wasn't there sister, I mean you do see it occasionally in anime but never to this level but at least it wasn't as bad as that segment in the previous episode. The show is interesting and weird like when Mibu questioned Tatsuya if he was bullying her...I guess he kinda was by forcing them into an awkward situation to see them squeal. I think I might need start reading the mangas and LNs for this series....which one should I start off with? |
| Ahh Tatsuya what a guy... got every girl dropping panties. Boring episode |

bastek66 said: It's not animation problem (they aren't even moving). Design sucks. It's not the case of design here since it's pretty much the same with the LN and manga. The problem is the art and drawing of the character. Maybe they're short on time like what happened with SnK last year and this result came out. I'm just hoping this will be fixed for the BDs cause she looks really dumb now, kinda like how Mahou Sensou characters were drawn in the anime >.> |
| It was just the usual badness, but then came that ridiculous (and almost apalling) reactionary social commentary at the very end. Good to know in which political direction this show is tilting. Saying that disadvantaged people should just shut up and stop being disadvantaged could come directly from FOX News. |

| Seems that the animation was a little bit weaker this episode. Perhaps they chose to spend less money on episodes like this so they can invest more into Nine Schools Competition Arc and possibly Yokohama Disturbance Arc and Reminiscence Arc. Other than that this was a pretty decent episode. The information it provided is important for future episodes. I'm guessing this arc will be finished in 2-3 more episodes. |

Ventris said: Saying that disadvantaged people should just shut up and stop being disadvantaged could come directly from FOX News. Things are way more complex than that, Tatsuya just pointed that sweet sounding words like 'equality' are just bait used by other powerful people in order to manipulate societies, in that case an external foe is trying to weaken the country, even thought it is just fiction it mirrors reality, communism and it's ideals are commonly backed by huge capitalist conglomerates or other countries in order to manipulate specific groups around the world, targeting a entire country is not far fetched it actually happened in past during cold war. |

| Yeah, probably due to the lack of action, the animation quality noticeably dropped. But then, this is one of those rare >13~15 episode anime series which are getting fewer & fewer as time goes by, and I much rather the animation company save the $ to really nail the action sequences where it COUNTS. As for Tatsuya's argument on Blanche & the Magic society, STOP TRYING TO DECODE IT AS SOME POLITICAL SATIRE OF THE WORLD! There is NO MAGIC in real life (and no, I will not try or attempt to waste my brainpower to figure out if Magic society is alluding to some real political movement) and just take it for what it is; a fictional backstory & conflict of the story. |

No, they're not. He claims that people with magic have to work incredible hard to get their high social standing (which they obviously don't, they get born with a gift, get education in an exclusive top tier school and then fasttracked into society. The social system in Mahouka is inherently unfair.) and that people without magic won't admit that "achievement". So instead of knowing their place, they bitch about this totally just system, obviously manipulated by foreign agents, because that is the only reason someone may want to change society. I'm not sure what your excursion into communism was supposed to achieve. Equality of opportunity is by no means solely a communist ideal, but also one of the pillars of capitalism.

Just exchange the word "Magic" for "Money" in his monologue and you're right at the Republican partys right wing |

Good to know in which political direction this show is tilting. Saying that disadvantaged people should just shut up and stop being disadvantaged could come directly from FOX News. He not saying that, he is saying people with ability should get payed for what they can do. Magiican can use magic so they can make a living out of doing stuff that require magic, saying thats unfair and they shouldn't be allow to do that is stupid. Like you were bore with a good body so you can play sports but people with weaker body go say you shouldn't be allow to because its unfair thats just plain dumb. But there is no other way to distinguish yourself, because society is unfairly tilted towards magic. Kendo girl doesn't want to topple the government, but be acknowledged for her Kendo skills in her school. Yet all Tatsuya does is belittle her for not accepting the status quo and having ideas above her paygrade. |

Actually he accepted his lot and understands why people wants utopia, those feelings are part of him too, but he is realist, Tatsuya here is the actor that lived the worst of both worlds, his attitude is pretty straightforward he fights for things he wants while not caring much about what other people thinks about it, the key point is self reliance. |
| Tetsuya: I accepted the discrimination though I'm super talented as hell. Why can't you people get on my level? <- |

The social system in Mahouka is inherently unfair.) and that people without magic won't admit that "achievement". Just like raw intelligence, health condition and genetic background, there's too many unfair things and several types of gifts that challenge 'equality' narrative and equal opportunity, the world is far from fair , people born with physical conditions hardly have access of so-called equality of opportunity in any shape and punishing or not rewarding people accordingly for having key abilities to sustain society just achieves societal collapse instead of equality. Ventris said: So instead of knowing their place, they bitch about this totally just system, obviously manipulated by foreign agents, because that is the only reason someone may want to change society. Revolutions are mostly backed by external powers, human will be never satisfied most of time and external powers can exploit discontent people, so they have a point, the political establishment has several means to hinder further change from system even in so-called democratic nations. Ventris said: I'm not sure what your excursion into communism was supposed to achieve. Equality of opportunity is by no means solely a communist ideal, but also one of the pillars of capitalism.
