| Tatsuya really put that butler in his place, like a boss. That conceited old fart can go eat a dick. |
| Nice episode. Finally, one of the characters that I dislike in Mahouka showed up. Screw you, Aoki. Glad they basically put everything in the LN for this episode, except for the part about Tatsuya's emotions. I supposed they want to reveal the full extent of it later on, but would be better if they revealed a bit more in this episode. Really surprised that they fully explained about Mikihiko's magic. I thought they're going to make it short and quick enough, kudos for Madhouse for that. Kanon, Isori, and Subaru got some lines, finally XD And maybe it's just me, but Shizuku's voice suddenly becomes bearable! Yay! The cliffhanger is expected, but like some said, it could be cut better. |
| Yay! I get to see more of Honoka Mitsui! |
 |
| @Takuan_Soho: Jumping into your discussions here, hope you two wouldn't mind. About the Cast Jamming, the only terrorist who fully knew about his ability is the younger Tsukasa, who presumably told his brother about that. Some of the terrorist members might knew, but the ones who knew were arrested by Juumonji's group, and I doubt they would ask the captured ones about Tatsuya's ability, while there were more pressing matters about their attack. And about the rule, it is true, although it's more like an unspoken rule. You can ask someone about their magic, but it is really up to them to explain it or not. Most of the times, people would just refused to explain it (and Tatsuya actually did refused to explain his magic couple of times in the LN). Actually I'm also quite confused why Tatsuya easily explained that magic to Erika, Leo and Mizuki. But if I have to guess, I guess he find them trustworthy enough to not tell it to other people. And it's not like they have any profit from doing that. And to be honest, I don't understand about what you complained about in the spoiler tag. |
| Clearly a filler episode.... So pointless. |
  |
| Noooo why the cliffhanger :( Now I gotta wait a whole week.. |
 |
| Always like the episodes and now were getting to meet some new people. However Miyuki still annoys me to no end, and I think she's just getting worse. |

Takuan_Soho said: Oh, the usual, the explanation for something the viewers would be puzzled about is something that the novel covered, but the anime adapters felt no need to let the viewers know about. I don't think the story is that complex to adapt, sure some of the terms need to be explained over time, but the setting isn't that complicated. The animation just hasn't felt the need to even try. And its not as if they don't have plenty of time to work with, they have no problem giving us the 100th iteration of how everyone (except his family) thinks Tatsuya is awesome and the 1,000th iteration of Miyuki glancing at her oniisama with longing eyes. Most of the readers on this thread were wondering why what seems to be the most important part of the experiment was left out, even non-readers figures that something was missing because otherwise there was really no point to showing the experiment. This series has a lot of pointless scenes to it because they have left the "point" out of the scenes. I think by now most people know what type of viewer I am, I like shows where I can go back and see things I missed and then go "okay". I don't mind fitting the pieces together like a jigsaw. But this adaption hasn't tried to let the viewer do this. Unless one turns off their brains (which is perfectly reasonable way of watching entertainment, a way I often wish I could do), the pieces in this show just don't fit together. The only way they have is from the LN readers providing the missing pieces. If that has to happen then you have a bad adaption. For once I actually agree with you on something. Yay! It's not like I don't see how difficult it would be to adapt the LN word for word. However, there are certain things that would make it a lot easier to decide which scenes to animate if they had read a little bit ahead. As it is, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone on the animation team actually knows what the story is even about. Even if the novels went on and on about Tatsuya's OPness, couldn't the anime just give enough to show how he's been regarded and then move on to other things? Same with Miyuki's hardcore brocon. I think the problem stems from the fact that they believe they have a lot of episodes to show every single thing from the novels. Despite this, it feels like they're spending too much time on the stuff that's not important and leaving or cutting out the important stuff. |
FenixDragon43 said: Clearly a filler episode.... So pointless. Welp, no action = filler. If only people would actually pay attention while watching instead of watching for the sake of watching. For LN readers complaining about the cut-out of Tatsuya background, Mahouka LN mostly consists of narrations by the author instead of the characters themselves which is the bane of this adaptation. As of this episode, Madhouse seems to rely on the characters talk more instead of the narrations from the author. And that particular explanations about Tatsuya happened to be a part of these narrations, not coming from Tatsuya or any other characters themselves. I'm sure they'll expand on it when Tatsuya reveals it with his own mouth, in his own words, to a certain someone in Vol 5. |
| I blinked twice and the episode was already over lol. |

darkreaperix said: straggy said: This show's actually starting to pick up and becoming something closer to decent, but whilst it's pretty easy to ignore how boring Tatsuya is in eps where his stupidly OP too good for the system powers aren't at the forefront, Miyuki is still managing to drag this whole affair down into almost unwatchable whenever she gets screentime. Prayer circle that that fireball car kills her and we can all move on by never mentioning her again. In fact, Tatsuya wouldn't even be that bad a character if they didn't keep trying to make him a typical 15 year old schoolboy who's good at stuff just because. At least other OP characters had good detailed backstory from a realistically early-on point (rather than waiting until almost halfway through the show before even hinting at it) that helps provide reasoning for their powers, and actual weaknesses that they have to overcome during their fights. They could so easily have avoided this OP stuff they don't know how to handle or implement properly and still kept his good theory by making him a really clumsy fighter or something, that has to steadily improve to implement his mind in his techniques. It would've been better to just straight up have him as only good at supporting his sister and have her be the main fighter too (provided she wasn't so unbearable in this AU, that is) and then showing that she's pretty useless without him doing the theory end, to make them a more logical partnership. Instead we just have... this. And it's so disappointing. you have practically many anime to watch to see those typical wimpy weak MC's that you are looking for.That's what made Tatsuya cool because he's different from those lame MC's that is flooding anime/manga/LN's :) What? I said I didn't want one that was boring and who was so OP without the story to back it up. Lelouch was OP but he had good character development and an actual personality. Guts is OP but they take a lot of time to explain how and why. I don't dislike Tatsuya because he's ~*~different~*~, I dislike him because he's a shitty character. |

The only way they have is from the LN readers providing the missing pieces. If that has to happen then you have a bad adaption. Tell me, how can the pieces fit together if even the integral information hasn't been revealed yet? And from what I saw, most of the missing pieces from LN readers are things that wasn't even revealed yet and was done so by LN readers only because you the anime-only watchers asked for it. By your logic, Steins;Gate anime would be a bad adaptation since the plot only seemed to pick up more than halfway into the series after what looks like an "endless filler episodes" that should only make sense after the climax of the story. |
| this episode is somewhat interesting |

| Whats up that butler's ass? |
My Candies:     |
| damm wat a cliffhanger, looks like the chair woman has a thing 4 Tatsuya dont let Miyuki find out |
| Awesome episode.Can't wait for next one. |
 |
| And so the harem grows... |
 |
| That butler talking like he's the president made me lol. |
 |
BladesOfTime said: Awesome episode.Can't wait for next one. +1 nice episode. also, i'm okay with not having his background explained right now, it was hinted at |
| Ushiyama.. hmm, his appearance, huh. Flying magic is a success. Aoki the ass has appeared. Uggh. Tatsuya and Miyuki's father appear as well.. Lols Mikihiko closing up on Mizuki's face. both of 'em blushing XD Honoka getting questioned on the relationship b/n Tatsuya and herself. FINALLY. Shizuku's name gets mentioned Mayumi complaining about not being able to get Tatsuya to sit next to her xD Lols Hattori. Oh and nicely done Shizuku. A slow episode... |
 |
| Wow the Shiba family are a bunch of a-holes insulting Tatsuya for being a mere tool of his abilities. Though I like to see more of their backstory. His popularity is raising when he is part of the engineering team now. So spirit magic is used huh, I like to know more of that. Mayumi was pretty daring in front of Tatsuya, but he eventually ignores it. Oh well, my greatest enemy... cliffhangers. |
| Mahouka is going very well in my opinion although I thought would be best explained on Tatsuya have lost their feelings, failed to delve a bit about it meanwhile Tatsuya is still conquering the girls near him, Shizuku, Honoka and Mayumi were the victims in this episode, Miyuki not need to be mentioned, since she not stop to thinking about the brother and end an accident interrupts the trip, I think this arc will be very good |

MCAL said: But damn, those cliffhangers. Now I'm curious as why trying to stop the burning car is a bad idea. I don't think its about stopping the burning car but rather the amount of people doing so. Less subtle hint |

Kazataro said: Me too. Also the fact that the father didn't open his mouth until the very end and let his butler do the talking like he was the actual boss made it somehow even funnier: haha, so beta. god I hate that wordThat butler talking like he's the president made me lol. Prolly means the dad has no importance/influence whatsoever in the Yotsuba family? Okay-ish episode I guess. Not exactly the best thing ever, but hey, at least it wasn't half as boring as the last one. I found the last scene before the accident to be pretty ridiculous tho : since when does waiting in the sun makes someone admirable and charming? Dude could have just sit inside the fucking bus or taken an umbrella. Bah, nevermind. But Miyuki needs to leave. Seriously. Also something's bugging me : what was Tatsuya doing here when Mikihiko almost hit Mizuki ? He said himself that even without him being there she wouldn't have been in danger, and he's not the type of guy to just wander about or go somewhere without a reason, so why was he here ? PS: Tastu being essentially a major dick to Mizuki/Mikihiko and Mayumi was really fun to watch. More of this insensitive jerkish attitude plz! |

| I wonder why the family holds Tatsuya in such contempt :S Interesting crystal eyes Mizuki has; being able to discern colors associated with different magic. It will probably play a big role in this arc. lol @ Mayumi's fail flirt attempt A decent episode but still expecting a lot more than this :\ |
| Miyuki, you're always thirsty. Thirsty for his brother lol. C'mon, you worry too much. She's like an over-protective sister. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) <-- Exactly how I looked like when the Episode ended. Damn that cliffhanger. I was just about to go kamehameha shit on my screen. |

AquaWateria said: Am I the only one who thought the scene where the subjects were playing tag while flying, funny. It was funny and they got scolded too, haha! Mayumi's Bewitching Face had no effect on Tatsuya, lol. Holy s**t at that ending, though. Nice cliffhanger.. :o |
| I swear, they're spending more time feeding the fujoshi than adapting more plot. I was really bothered by that accident. There's no way that car had enough energy to fly that high simply by colliding with the barrier. |

MCAL said: But damn, those cliffhangers. Now I'm curious as why trying to stop the burning car is a bad idea. Mari probably told them to stop because all them are in a state of panic, thus affecting the magic they would use on the burning car. You can see Kanon really panicking in that situation. On the other hand, you see Miyuki ridiculously calm, and so she'd be more suited to calmly and effectively use her magic to stop the car. |

Just curious. why is it a crime to call her brother by a respectable honorific? I meant some "other" than her highness Miyuki. And as for your question, the answer is no. It is not a crime. Japanese high society still maintains the tradition of using sama to refer to parents, close relatives, elder siblings and even cousins. ncnoobkill said: Dont think so the only person who calls him that is miyuki i think Hmm. That's good to know. The last thing I would want to see a rival appearing in an anime like this. It can be enjoyable in anime such as DATE A LIVE, but not in anything like Mahouka which should focus more into serious nature of the setup. xchee said: If I was one of those guys who got to test flying, I would totally play flying tag too XD! But it helped them gather a genuine information. It takes a toll on the body of users (lacking substantial amount of ability to perform magic) through fatigue. |

coolxal said: People hate Tatsuya because he's too perfect and is always calm. The haters don't even realize the purpose Aoki. He is a self-insert for all the viewers that hate Tatsuya. I don't hate Tatsuya because he is perfect. I dislike the fact that "his perfection" is glorified a bit too much by the animators/author. As for your comparison of haters to Aoki, as a critical viewer, I saw his hate for Tatsuya is not because he thinks Tatsuya is perfect, but because of something else. They way it has been shown so far in the anime, it seems only Miyuki in the clan is aware that Tatsuya is amazing. Everyone else in the clan probably treats him like a tool because they think he is inept as a magician (at least on the level they would want him to be). Am I missing something else here, because your comment was more like an insult directed to users in MAL than actually trying to say something meaningful? |
