I've read all the translated LNs (arghhh I just can't learn Japanese and Vol. 13 is taking forever) and I'm waiting to marathon the anime.

Does anyone know how many volumes will be adapted? Thanks.

I know i'm late fpr this episode, but there were a couple things worth mentioning.

One, I was kinda disappointed with this episode agn. The Mibu vs Erika fight was not bad, but not great either. I mean, it's the best action scene so far in the series, but imo not entertaining or exciting enough. I dont really know y, i just feel that way.

I kinda thought they would finish the enrollment arc in this episode. I think it would've been better, but oh well...

One pleasant surprise in this episode was the extra scene that wasnt in the LN where Kirihara requested frm Juumonji to take part in the raid. That was one part in the LN that left me a little bit confused, and


@SolitaryFear, the series just finished volume 2 in episode 7. At the current rate, the anime kinda looks like it'll cover the LNs all the way till the Yokohama arc, at least ie until volume 7. Then agn,


I'm jus being extra careful not to spoil anything so im using these spoiler tags even tho they may not seem entirely aproproate
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Lol, those two guys were like, "Wow, are they ignoring us?" Why the hell didn't they just pull the trigger. It would have been futile, but c'mon, giving your enemy enough time to put all their thoughts out?

So...it was all one big misunderstanding! Yeaaaah, anime logic.

Man, they sure made the Blanche arc even more boring than in the novel.

3/5

Come this far, now I can not do more than just give a higher rating than this, for the benefit of souls. Perhaps the hard work is worth, given the number of users, but the animated transposition water on all sides including also the work of the Madhouse.
Only thing not unpleasant are fighting.
That's why I gave a rating of 3/5!

Where the hell are the teachers anyway? Are they just instructors rather than real magicians? (There is one there but she is quite useless lol!)

Tbh, I have read the manga and anime but the plot is kinda shit. Pretty boring and generic. However, the technical aspect is strong with this one. It's like I am watching a Magic Wikipedia rather than an anime.

Wow, this episode starts out with some melee brawls... wait... did they like really forget about all the people who used guns and god damn rocket launchesr? Did they like waste their ammo on the buildings or what? Oh my god, this writing...

But overall a quite enjoyable show so far. Could be worse but also A LOT better.

Funny how the terrorists with guns and RPGs got their asses handed to them by high schoolers. Did all of their cast jammers just decided to fail? How come only one terrorist in the library had a gun and not all of them? How important did Blache consider this operation since they didn't appear to have brought along any significant fighters? Were there any injuries or casualties at all? The attack was stopped and the terrorists were apprehended all within a span of half an episode, and the motive behind the attack wasn't interesting in the slightest. The whole situation was portrayed in a rather trivial and rushed manner. The gravity of the situation began escalating at the end of the last episode, but I didn't feel that it was maintained at all throughout the course of this episode.

The fight between Sayaka and Erika had started to get good, but then it ended. Some lost potential there imo.

I wasn't fond of Sayaka's characterization and motive even though people like her are among the type that end up getting involved in terrorism. Insecure, angry, helplessness, feeling that the establishment is against them. Those traits have cause people to be vulnerable to manipulation, and Sayaka is no exception. But still, she's a bit petty by taking insults too seriously, and having it all be over a misunderstanding stemming from trivial miscommunication just doesn't look good. However, her desire for non-mages to not be discriminated against isn't a wrong one though, so I don't agree with how the show's been pressing the "Equality is idealistic BS" sentiment.

So they're going to raid a Blanche hideout by themselves? The police were already involved in their response to the incident, and I'm not sure what they're trying to prove by minimizing police involvement in their attempt to deal with the terrorists.

Well that was kinda cruel, all that frustration, self-loathing and righteous indignation was all just a caused by misunderstanding in the beginning. x_X Then the students are about to go on an adventure all by themselves.

Good action in this episode. We didn't saw super long fights but that was okay.

So everything was an missunderstanding by Mibu? On one side it was good for her because she worked hard to get better, on the other side it must had been a really frustraiting time for her. Pretty sad when she was crying :(

Mibus fight with Erika was nice. Even if it ended fast. So now they are about to go to the headquarter of the terrorists? That will be interesting to see. Also Takeaki will be with them. Maybe we see some action of Juumonji? That would be great.

Bland. Predictable. They aren't even trying to surprise us. There's supposed to be some tension involving the greater plot here, with people behind the scenes pulling the strings, but it just feels like a distraction from the sub-par character drama. The conflict felt safe and sterile; no real danger anywhere to be found - just an excuse to demonstrate some of the characters' abilities.

Not trying to be a massive critic here, but I'm really not enjoying this. Probably dropping it.

Tatsuya is awesome. He just knows how to console Mibu and makes fast and uncompromising decisions. I would love to see more of him. Besides, the entire terrorist fighting scenes were done well. I would love to see how this goes on and more on Blanche.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I totally forgot about the kendo guy that Tatsuya defeated episodes ago. Kirihara seems to be in love with Mibu Sayaka huh. Well, they explained her -misunderstanding- reason but a flashback explaining that could be much better.

Problem solved, eh? Its fster than i expected before. Lol. So, all of them happened because of Mibu's misunderstanding? The terrorist actually targetted the research that the country had and stole it? Damn, what a simple reason to begin with, as always. XD So, yeah, its really happened. She was being used by the terrorist organisation. Also, this episode proved how powerful Tatsuya and Miyuki, with their different magic technique, different output, and the different procedure to activated it, just beautifully done in a nice way. Everything resolved in a fast way.

The others side character too had their time to showed fheir own skills, the magic technique, and all the ability to overcome the difficult situations. So, yeah, the terrorist attack already been neutralized by them, a talented high schoolers. After that? Ofc its time for them to took the counter attack for their main masterminds, the Japanese branch of Blanche, before it get resolved by the police department and turned out into another trouble. Yeah, such a nice strategy Tatsuya had there.

Miyuki seemed to get an under control over her jealousy, and she had more screen time to showed her magic skill, alongside with another characters such as Erika, and Leo. Nice, this was such a good episode to progressed the development of their characterization. Okay. Lets see their attack then!

Lots of good action this episode.

I'm very interested in Erika's past now-- it seems like the Chiba's are some sort of prestigious sword family with what I assume is a passed down technique.

I also feel sympathy for Mibu, but the fact that she went down a spiral of depression and joined forces with terrorists speaks loads for her character. Taking to heart and destroying herself over what she thought was a small diss, Mibu is evidently insecure. It's unfortunate, but I also think that the fact that she colluded with terrorists due to a misunderstanding is a bit extreme. Sure, you can get angry and work really hard to prove them wrong, but join a terrorist group? That's a bit much.

I also think it's hilarious that the Juumonji is a student. The dude towers over everyone like a ginormous gorilla hulk, but he's still in high school. Something else that was laughable was the fact that a high school would allow and put their full confidence in a freshman that has put his skills on display once. Yes, he's confident, but I'm amazed at their faith.

I'm excited for the terrorist raid in the next episode: it seems like we could see more technical and calculated work from Tatsuya, which is always cool.

this was better than the last episode

good fights. good plot progression

all this "clan" talk. and yet i still have no clue what significance they have other than "10 clans" and "numbers" and blah blah

it took me until this episode to realize who the english va is for erica. it's the same woman that does gon freecs, right? pretty unique voice. except, gon sucks/sucked, and erica is kinda cool so far

EVERYBODY GET IN THE HUMMER AND LET'S GO KICK SOME TERRORIST ASS...LMAO. honestly, are hummers a symbol of badass/military shit in japan? probably a global symbol, actually

I'm sorry but I just hate Mibu so much that I couldn't care about her crying scene, didn't feel a single thing. I hate how she just assumed things about Tatsuya like she knew better, just shut up. That really made me angry, lol.

So Kirihara is a good guy after all? I'm glad since I like his VA and how he looks a lot. Not the biggest fan of this first half, but things are looking better for this big fight so hopefully it will be good.

apparently discrimination is so common that the worst case of it (from someone who joined a terrorist organization to fight it!) is her misunderstanding something that someone else said.

Erika vs. Mibu fight was good. Mibu looked hot when she removed her blazer, revealing her sleeveless outfit. Her armpits must be all sweaty from all that tension and action. I would love to lick them! It's too bad she lost in an instant. BTW, all girls look hot in that sleeveless outfit. I wish school uniforms like that existed in real life. Hehe

I want to like this show so much. the world is great, but the story is just dumb. a couple points:

"don't fight discrimination because it will always exist." while discrimination will always exist, fighting it is important so it doesn't get worse. there always needs to be conflict to keep those in power in check

what was the deal with Mibu's reasoning? Is that really what pushed her over the edge? a stupid fucking misunderstanding? also with this, it's essentially making the moral of the story that since this one time she wasn't discriminated against, there must be no discrimination at all! Even though we have already seen and heard much worse (like people stopping 2 siblings lovers from going home together, or the whole ordeal with the student council not having course 2 students)

WHY THE HELL DID SHE CRY HUGGING TATSUYA WHEN ALL HE'S DONE IS BETRAY HER TRUST AND ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE AND SMARTASS TO HER. SHE SERIOUSLY HAS NO REASON TO HOLD ANY SORT OF AFFECTION TOWARDS HIM. Speaking of Tatsuya, how is he supposed to be the good guy? why is he so harsh on someone who was being manipulated to follow a terrorist organization? Honestly, I just see him as an asshole who thinks he knows better than he does.

Also wtf does he mean by "risking your manhood?" are you not a man for being angry? does risking your life mean risking your manhood? He's risking his life and standing up to a terrorist organization because they manipulated and hurt someone he respected. If that is risking your manhood, then I don't think he should care about it.
