| For once, I actually liked more things about an episode than I hated. Yay for improvement. The Erika and Mibu fight was my favorite part easily. Tatsuya, however, pisses me off with the whole "that's just the way the world is" argument he uses to justify discrimination. Yeh in a world where everyone was treated equally and there were multiple scales of accomplishment, everyone would be snubbed. In Mahouka, however, magic seems to be so important to just about everything. If you're not good at magic too bad, you just won't live as good as someone who is. There's only 1 scale in Mahouka from what I've seen, and that's why it's unfair. Miyuki saying the things about acknowledgement was also stupid. Tatsuya is pretty much Bloom in Weed's clothing, that's why he's being acknowledged. It's a completely different situation from any of the other weeds. This is just based on what I've seen in the show so far, if this proves to be wrong I'll be very happy. I just call it like I see it. Also MibuxErika plz. This show needs yuri. |

No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
| Nice ep. Leo action :3 Short but cool Erika vs. Mibu fight. Tsundere Kirihara XD Onii-sama count: Ep 6: 12 |

I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
Lyrisia said: Lol that Kirihara was just kind of bullying the girl he liked? *ahem* he was a Tsundere to be exact lolol pretty good episode glad that they adapted the part where tatsuya says he'll eliminate any one who apposes a threat towards him and miyuki :)) Can't wait for the upcoming arcs oooh this is gonna be good (assuming madhouse doesn't completely botch the adaptations) lol getting closer and closer to catching a glimpse of mahesvra |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: alcrowry said: Finally, the fights! And Erika in action, wohoo! I wished they were longer though, especially Erika vs Sayaka. Tatsuya practically did nothing for this one (aside from the one when he scoped out the enemies), let others did the dirty works XD A glimpse of Miyuki's ability here, we would see more in the next arc. As I expected in the other thread, Enrollment will have 7 episodes. Next episode would be I am a bit sad that they cut out part of Leo's fight. I was so looking forward to these scenes........... http://mangafox.me/manga/mahouka_koukou_no_rettousei/c017/28.html http://mangafox.me/manga/mahouka_koukou_no_rettousei/c017/29.html They could have extended the fight another 30 seconds or so. Other than that, this episode was pretty good. Yes, those parts were quite interesting, and certainly would be awesome if they animated it. But maybe because this episode already had some talkings in it, they didn't want to make it even longer (cause with Leo's scene they would have to explain it), even for 10-20 seconds longer XD |

Yeah don't see much "outsmarting" there lol |

| About damn time, an episode that wasn't a complete chore to sit through. Still nothing amazing, however. Also, can we make Erika the main character? She's infinitely better and more interesting than the Shiba siblings. |
Takuan_Soho said: And of course it is so easy to take down all the terrorists, Erika can beat a nationally ranked kendo practitioner just like that. If that fight had been any more cliched they would have had her chewing on a grass blade. And they are mighty forgiving towards someone who betrayed their nation and then tried to escape. Some explanations here for that particular part. |

| This episode was better than the previous 5. |

Takuan_Soho said: alcrowry said: Some explanations here for that particular part. But that begs the question about why she is a weed... I know, I know, they don't rank on that type of magic and/or skill, but they already used that explanation once.... But yes, a bit more foreshadowing would have been nice (and yes, I picked up she was skilled a couple of episodes ago, but same with Leo they both went from nearly NO presence to being major characters (and yes I know that the novels make them both better characters- Erika was treated better in the first 10 pages I read than the six episodes shown so far), but this isn't about the novels, but the animation). alcrowry said: And for the second one, I would guess that they didn't want to get the police involved Which would be fine, except they showed that the police were involved.... It's not that this show is bad (though at times....), what really bothers me is just how lazy the show has been. From the little of the novel I read I didn't get the sense that this is a problem with the writer, but it is a definite problem in the adaption, and that is what concerns me when we get to the parts the readers say are better. The answer is simple actually. She is a 2nd course student, because she's not that good with the magic, but no one can beat her in terms of swordsmanship. There was actually a scene about that sometime ago, which showed. To be fair Takuan_Soho said: alcrowry said: And for the second one, I would guess that they didn't want to get the police involved Which would be fine, except they showed that the police were involved.... For this one, I mean they didn't want the police to know that the students themselves involved in the attack. Like the previous incident, I can imagine they wanted to deal it internally. In the LN, (not shown in the anime, but I don't think it was significant enough) it was explained that they only handed over the off-campus invaders to the police. |
o random sword guy from previous episode wants to join the fight out of no where, sweet ending. |

Akanezora said: Do you mean the nurse lady? If so, then I agree. Something about her bothers me. Maybe her boobs are too big. I hope we see an even fight soon. All the fights so far have been stomps. Can't really find myself connecting with any of the characters, they all seem so bland so far.That teacher somehow disgusts me, specifically how she's drawn. |

| The counterattack begins next episode. Great episode!!! |
 |
| That guy that just came with them looks like he'll betray them or something, he just screams bad guy. That Erika thou <3 It would be interesting to see Tatsuya go alone to wreck the place too. |

Takuan_Soho said: If the Chiba family has no input into this world, then why would anyone care that they are good at "kendou". This is a writer who wants to have his cake and eat it too. If the family is auspicious then Erika would not be a weed, if Erika is a weed then their family would be inconsequential. This is even more clear in that Mari is highly rated solely based on her family. If she is truly "nothing special" but is ranked 3rd SOLELY on her family connections, then this would mean that Erika, the scion of an equally "special" family, would be ranked higher. And I wouldn't use our favorite Gary Stu character Tatsuya as a counter example. The brighter they make him the more the writer insults our intelligence. How is this difficult to understand? The 10 Families are like prestigious magic dynasties. But the determination on whether or not you are a Course 1 or a Course 2 student depends on certain measurable aptitudes. It's like complaining that a master painter isn't recognized as such by their reading, math, and science test scores. And where has it ever been stated that Mari is highly rated based solely on her family? |
| Wow, even while running, they just had to explain Leo's magic? I don't really think that's necessary. |

| Erika should be the main character of this series :/ |
| nice episode loved it :D |
 |
| Must be a new record for Miyuki because Miyuki did not make a move when Mibu touched Tatsuya. I thought she was going to break them apart, I would've been pissed if she did lol. |
 |
| IDK about this episode. I mean the action and music was good, but it felt like it was missing some parts from the light novel/manga and also it felt rushed on several parts. Erika was pretty badass in her part of her time, but still felt rushed on her battle scenes, well mostly everyone's battle was rushed. Mibu's character was also okay but felt cliche on some of her parts, where she felt wrong and then she regret herself from doing this incident. At least she was admired by her skills, especially Kirihara now becoming Tatsuya's side. Now Tatsuya is going on a rampage mode of defeating the terrorist organization. |
| So which episode should I look forward to... in order to see a thread that focuses on the plot as it related to the MC's world and how it is presented in the anime, and not what people have decided should be the plot or how much they're disappointed that the plot doesn't suit their taste. It's been 6 episodes now. 6 Weeks. And regardless of whether or not you've been told the arc after this one is awesome (which I personally think is a matter of taste anyway), shouldn't a discussion thread be less filled with things like "how retarded the discrimination storyline is" or "how Gary Stu the MC is" or "how the author and plot sucks", and the many varieties of those lines? At this point, it should be a little clear if you like it enough to overlook the flaws it has in your eyes. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying critics aren't allowed to point out the flaws of the anime/LN or have their opinions. It's just that after a while, they tend to repeat the same things and criticize the same flaws in the same way. Every. Single. Time. I would think after a while they would get tired of watching something they don't seem to be enjoying at all. I know a lot of this has to do with the hype being claimed this anime had pre-airing (which I don't get either) but it's not nearly as bad as these threads are making it seem. I don't know what these people were expecting and aren't getting but some people are content (though not terribly ecstatic) about the adaptation. This past week, I got into Gokukoku no Brynhildr, Chaika, and Black Bullet and visited their weekly threads. To my amazement, even though all three are adaptations and with the exception of a few minor criticisms, the vast majority of the comments were about the plot and in-universe of the anime. Obviously, the some of the critics there have managed to either get over any flaws or have dropped the anime. Why can't that happen here? |

| Finally an episode that doesn't end in the middle of a fucking battle. It's bad enough they make each battle a curbstomp. They better not end the next episode while Tatsuya and the gang are in the middle of beating the living hell out of terrorists. |

RexZShadow said: Takuan_Soho said: RexZShadow said: Because the amount of people that are super specalized are few, its not like course 2 students are FILLED with people like Tatsuya and Erika that are highly skilled combat wise. They are outside the norm which is why its not factor in when the school admit students. Erika is from the Chiba family, family of renowned swordsman. I really don't want to get into a pissing match on this, but I will never shirk from an argument. Your explanation is flawed. Think about it, in this world magic use is based on heredity, so are you actually trying to justify that someone from such a prominent family would be relegated to a "weed" category? If Erika is merely average all would be fine, but if she actually starts to be a kick ass character then the writer has violated the basic premise of the series. The ironic thing is that in writing the author can get away with this, but in an animation, with so much stripped away, it is harder to hide such contradictions. Though if the adapters actually thought about this series (which I have seen no evidence of), even this could be explained away relatively easily. Because their family isn't known for strong magic they are known for their swordsman ship. And yes magic is MOST HEREDITY, its not 100% gene are random. Just coz your parents are the most beautiful people on the planet doesn't mean you won't end up looking normal or even ugly. Yes good heredity does have much higher chance of high magic power but it isn't always the case. Look at Tatsuya from the 10 familiy but he was born unable to use normal magic. Mari family back ground is nothing speical at all but she is the top 3 in the school. Heredity is NEVER EVER 100%, its just higher chance. LOL the irony, Tatsuya is unable to use normal magic because his magics are unique and probably the strongest compare to destruction/restoration type magic. Not like he can use magic, true, but his magic ability is out of this world and I don't really consider it "normal". |
| I'm kinda disappointed with madhouse's animation in this action packed episode. |
| The episode began with lots of action Tatsuya is showing very strong It was also the good struggle between Erika and Mibu many details have been left behind according to LN but in the next episode already starts a new arc it seems that the anime will be very broad in history |
  |
| so mibu misunderstood what watanabe said and it all led to mibu helping out the terrorists. at least that's what i got out of this episode and it had me rolling my eyes really hard. i haven't seen this bad of an attempt at melodrama since episode 23 of sakurasou. however, i get the feeling that i'm missing something and that there might actually be a point to the melodrama but i'll wait it out until then. this show does a great job at making a big deal out of small things and once again miyuki was a joke of a character and tatsuya is way OP. action was pretty cool though. the ost works well. hopefully this is the end of the 1st arc and the next arc will be much better |
