Overpowered not much a problem for me, but it is Tatsuya is a walking robot... He just not fit to be an MC at all, Leo is much better than Tatsuya.

guestlol said:
na leo is not much of a main character in this story because he is not that smart(not comparing to tatsuya) so he cant explain anything with out someone telling him or strong enough to fight the villain in this story the only fight he is gonna fight is mostly lackys he cant really even challenge any of the boss antagonist even erika have a hard ass time with these antagonist and she have physical ability similar to tatsuya.

You're picking the main character based on who can explain the most and/or is the strongest?

guestlol said:
i said in this story and yea this storyis mostly about world building not that much about developing character so it need a suitable main character that can play that role and no harem and no overly sensitve about people and no plot armor and no dense ass main character and no pathetic long ass speech to make the enemies facepalm themself to win and oh if u did not read the LN and just saw the 6 episode dont even act like u know this story

So, essentially, it's still a story and not a fact book about Mahouka's world. Storytelling 101 lessons still apply here, then. Don't worry though, I'm not criticizing Mahouka in any way. Rather, I'm pointing out what you said and questioning the sensibility in it.

guestlol said:
actually no it may look like story telling but it is just to tell u about this world of mahouka to ME tatsuya just serve as as the eyes to show this world because they explain so much stuff and so much world that is crazy it shows more buliding than the character developing in to anything else and expanding even more and with action plus some comedy with it

I wonder if all the fans see Mahouka this way too.

guestlol said:
of course not they are here to see the other character that they like and dont care for the main or other character but i tatsuya more than the other character

h1k1k0m0r1 said:


Apologies, I meant any*.

Unfortunately neither side is gonna budge and we're stuck with what we have.

Good thread:
"This show has done X, Y and Z bad"
"*explained* X and Y, accepted Z is not done well"
*discussion proceeds about actual show*

instead here:
"This show has done X, Y and Z bad"
"No, you idiot, X, Y and Z are flawless, you're too stupid to understand because you keep whining"
"Ehm, no, X, Y and Z really are bad..."
Rinse and repeat.

Sad, but this is not the first nor the last time it happened.

guestlol said:
hmm i dont know i just see it this way but some people do like the world building and the explaining

Let's get some things straight, since you love a clash: The work called "Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei" is bad, factual bad, pop-corn entertainment at best. When i say work, i mean the LN, manga and anime. It's bad. The success it gets it's very, VERY derived from the nature of the MC and target demography. A self-inserted power fantasy, where the lead has so little in terms of personality that anyone can re-imagine himself in his place. It's bad writing. It's not literature, its trash. My opinion has NOTHING, absolutely nothing with "lol hater" and everything to do with taste and experience. With that out of the way, you can STILL ENJOY TRASH.

If a work is objectively good or bad, it's measurable by facts, [...]

[...]but entertainment is a subjective and personal factor. And that's the point of my rant. I don't have problem with people liking or enjoying the show, far from it. I do disagree when people insist it's the best thing ever since sliced bread when they come from anime/manga enviroment without knowing fuck all about good literature works.

nina4life said:
Now that you mention it, yeah, I guess you are right. It was mentioned they might be involved with foreign organization so it could possibly be the case.
However, I still think it could have and should have been handled in better manner, for after all, pawns, no matter how small and weak, are always useful to have.

Wasn't blanche like a secret group that the weeds wouldn't have known about anyways?

Only a select few knew what they were doing and i feel that the whole debate thing trying to recruit the weeds to help them change the school was just a big farce to gather the students in one place away from the library data room.

SolviteSekai said:


Yeah its not possible that the show sucks.

It's in my head. Everyone who dislikes the show is just really stupid and incapable of judging a shows quality.

Lylaaz said:
1 more episode like this and i'll drop this.

I didn't like the story at all.. nothing new.. boring drama during this episode about communism and all that whatnot. Was so obvious that the girl was going to join their side.. i just got so pissed off.

This anime has so much potential but it's going to ruin itself with typical plot writing, i hope maybe next episode is better.

Skyray said:
But to be honest, I think the MC being OP and the battle being stomps, those aren't the problem with the adaptation, it's probably the fact that the source material... isn't all that great to begin with.

Takuan_Soho said:


It's all about the explanation, I only read about 20 pages into the first novel and it was infinitely better at explaining things.

For instance, in the adaptation all we know is that the OP has access to great weaponry from a legendary designer (3rd episode), but in the novel it is already established that their family owns the company and Tatsuya through his family connections was working with the person to develop the weapons and this is something that Miyuki doesn't know.

If this adaption had bothered to touch on any of these points it would have provided that much more depth to this show. Instead in the first episode it was the traditional "father doesn't approve of son" vibe and the siblings are unified for some reason (and with all the incest baiting it would be normal to think that is the cause) against the family (Miyuki's scene making coffee). The novel hints at darker things, the adaption has been shallow to the point of non-existent.

Thanks for spoiling that to the non-LN-readers. The fact that .
In the first volume, it is only stated that their father

NonStopRoad said:
past 20% of 2 cour show..i don't know what make this thing bad, some say weak arc, some say sh*tty adaptation..

- cheesy dialogue everywhere
- out of logic action
- battle is meh (railgun in eps 1 alone is better than this, log horizon eps 4 too)

i remember last season i'm defending log horizon especially in the mid (those economic and diplomatic things), but in the end it's worth it..but with people defending this (for the first 6) somehow i feel sad..

Tyrel said:
This show hasn't even come close to me from raising my score from a 6. I was expecting some more from this from all the hype people were givining it but my god, it's so boring. If it wasn't for a 2 cour series I would've dropped it.

Mugen_Time said:
One more episode to go before the Orientation arc is finally over. It's been entirely underwhelming.

The exciting stuff is supposed to come later but either the start was always this boring or the anime is doing a bad job at keeping its audience interested.

Shaniyaz said:
Like how they were analyzing Leo's technique while on the run.

RandomCommenter said:


I've actually liked these episodes, not because they were good, but because I hated the start of the light novels. I actually abandoned the series and only started reading again a while later when I was told that it had become better. Sayaka is a stupid and dense character with an inferiority complex in my view. I just don't like her. I'm glad they didn't try and make it better. Now if this anime just happens to be long enough, I want to see Tatsuya beating Ichijou to the curb, and maybe the arc after as well (maybe I'm gettin a little greedy now. That one seemed pretty long).
