@Takuan_Soho: Just a little correction.............their Aunt is the current Head of the clan and their mother is dead. I guess people can get confused as they are twin sister but several times in the anime they said "Aunt" so i don't know how so many people got that wrong...........


I plead morning and lack of coffee for forgetting that. Though that really wouldn't change anything I wrote above.


Well my post was regarding that fact only and some people seems be to mixing up this mother and aunt despite being clearly said in the anime. No ulterior motives there.

Hopefully too many people won't be asking later that "Hey wasn't that supposed to be their mother, where did the aunt come from?"

Kind of have to appreciate where Tatsuya comes from and why Miyuki feels that she has to stick up for him. It feels like she's the only one in his family that has any sort of appreciation and affection for the guy and like she feels she has to make up for him not even being so much as acknowledged within that sphere so she's always overcompensating. As Tatsuya has been getting accepted into that group at their school though you can already sort of see those Onii-Sama tendencies lessening as he starts to be accepted and acknowledge by people other than herself. I think this episode demonstrated that fairly well. Really for a slow mostly character interaction episode that served to further the whole flight magic technology B Plot it wasn't half bad.

Eevrybody has important and great things to say about this episode, but everything I can think about right now is:

Dat ending tho..

tbh I think Tatsuya'll be the hero, anime logics ftw.

Out of all girls, im starting to care only about Mayumi to be honest.
About episode, eh...scene with Mikihiko summoning spirits or w/e was nice.I also wonder what happened there at the end.I couldn't care less about the rest tho, im just not feeling much of this show's ''charm'' i guess.

Wtf happened? What is happening? Did I miss something? There were a lot of new characters this episode that I didn't knew about.

Also when Tatsuya saved Mizuki from Mikihiko, wasn't he wearing sports clothes before yet when he apparently followed Mizuki and saved her he was already back in the normal school clothing. Did he teleport or something? Are there two Tatsuya?

That engineer called Tatsuya as Silver like nothiing. I mean, I didn't even knew because I'm not reading the LN yet they acted like it's natural. I'm sure they cut out a lot of scenes from the LN but did they cut out an important part? It just doesn't feel natural to me. I feel like I am missing something.

Also that interaction between the two siblings and the butler and father was weird as shit. What exactly was going on right there? Is the guy really their father?

I really liked this series but I hope the quality doesn't fall off like this after the first arc.

They were seen in last episode and officially introduced in this episode. You're not missing something, though don't expect Mahouka to introduce all of them one by one since it had a huge cast of characters.

That engineer called Tatsuya as Silver like nothiing. I mean, I didn't even knew because I'm not reading the LN yet they acted like it's natural. I'm sure they cut out a lot of scenes from the LN but did they cut out an important part? It just doesn't feel natural to me. I feel like I am missing something.

Why should it be unnatural, all of them in their lab already know who Tatsuya is. They didn't cut any part from that visit iirc. This is the first revelation of Taurus Silver in the series, though you should've been able to guess from all the hints that were shown in earlier episodes.

Tatsuya is part of Taurus Silver, although he does all the software work that people recongize. The team helps with hardware as he is not as good with hardware as he is with software.

So Tatsuya is the young master huh.

Tatsuya is making history as if it were nothing.

So that's their father huh... they act like a total stranger, a mere bodyguard.

Mizuki would be hunted down by those would need her eyes huh lol.

And an accident happens!

Another thing I don't get at all : when Mikihiko talks about Mizuki's eyes and says "A year ago, I would’ve been mesmerized, and I might have claimed her for myself by force." What the hell was that supposed to mean exactly ? He would've kidnapped her or what ? How come saying stuff like that doesn't even alert Mizuki and only gets her to blush ? That sounded incredibly weird and rape-y.

An interesting find on the emotion front –
“Blunted affect” is the scientific term describing a lack of emotional reactivity (affect display) on the part of an individual. It is manifest as a failure to express feelings either verbally or non-verbally, especially when talking about issues that would normally be expected to engage the emotions. Expressive gestures are rare and there is little animation in facial expression or vocal inflection. Conversely, there may be poor modulation of feelings as well, with reduced expression punctuated by periods of very strong expression, including laughing uncontrollably, crying inconsolably, and outbursts of anger.

Blunted affect can be symptomatic of schizophrenia, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, or brain damage. It is also a common symptom of Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome. “The difference between flat and blunted affect is in degree. A person with flat affect has no or nearly no emotional expression. He or she may not react at all to circumstances that usually evoke strong emotions in others. A person with blunted affect, on the other hand, has a significantly reduced intensity in emotional expression”. Individuals with blunted or flat affect show different regional brain activity when compared with healthy individuals.

Sounds like Tatsuya to me… The question becomes: Was he experimented on because he had this condition, and it couldn’t be cured, or was he ‘given’ this condition to be a more ‘effective’ family member?

Okay, this is getting ridiculous xD
I was defending Tatsuka OPness, but I don't think it's possible anymore. WHAT THAT GUY ISN'T? He's a powerful mage able to disrupt any magic, a pro in martial art, a genius in literally everything at school, a mage that have psion (what the fuck is this shit by the way? I never understood...) than almost everyone else, he make the pussies wet everywhere he goes, he make his coworker jizz in their mind everytime he come visit them, he's a super scientist, the brother of the next family leader... WHEN WILL THIS END?

Also, urg, Miyuki... Can't she have a proper discussion without mentioning her brother every 30 seconds? Does her whole world only revolve around Tatsuya? Don't she have any ambition other than behing by her brother side. Gosh, get up and do something by yourself goddamnit, stop cockblocking your brother everywhere he goes...

Again, a lot of what seem to be meaningless ''scientific information'' but I can't get a crap, so I stopped trying to understand it.

That scene at the end was hialrious. Just wait for it... Tatsuya to the rescue! Because he can even stop flying flaming car. He will even save the dude and find him a girl that he can fuck and be happy forever together.

That might very well be so but it was pointed out to me that they seem to want to go with things Tatsuya says himself and iirc there's a situation later on in which he explains what's been done to him, in his own words. So maybe we shouldn't give up hope in thinking the animators have a real reason for why they cut that out. That being said, I do agree that it's a mark of a bad adaptation to cut out relevant monologues.

Until I see the beach episode, I will hold on to that hope too. Maybe they want to expand on it in a certain scene in it since there's not much to work on for it to last an episode... I don't think they can mess that up too cause the revelation comes out of Tatsuya himself, not from some narration like in this episode. From what I've seen, Madhouse have yet to adapt any narration in the novel by this episode, makes sense if they left it out in this episode too considering it's just a narration instead of characters' talks.

Not all of Vol 5 are side stories. Both the Summer Break chapter and Presidential Elections chapter are in line with the main story so they had to adapt both of these chapters if they want to adapt Yokohama. I'm guessing these will take two episodes altogether. Summer Break is the one where Tatsuya revealed everything in his own words, unlike the one in this episode which was a narration in the novel so I'm really positive that's what they're planning to do. If by any chance they mess it up too which is quite unlikely, that's when the anime is doomed, though like I said, quite unlikely.

As for my "prediction" already covered it nearly two weeks ago:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1185353 (4th post)

So, right church, wrong pew (bloomers instead of swimsuits).

As for this "prediction" all I did was to say what the preview showed us (a little action a lot of banquet), so it really isn't a prediction per se.
