| this arc seems to be adapted a little slower than the previous, the episodes are improving and Tatsuya is always with the hack enabled, always being the savior mainly engages his sister but I like to see a strong protagonist, which protrudes mostly hidden, instead of one that is always losing fights Miyuki is a hit with the girls up, many do not like it but I like her, I think a good pair for the protagonist but it has already been shown that many things will happen in the competition, hopefully enough action in the coming episodes |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: BloodRequiem said: Probably Doraemon judging by the amount of bullshit asspulls he's done so far. You really should watch the episode than posting shit. Lighting magic is used by Mikihiko.......... The perfect example of dumb haters not even watching the show properly and posting bullshit comments. I'm sorry, what? I thought I was watching Darker than Black for a moment back there. Seriously, chill out. |
| Hey as for the other four who weren't tricked, it might be revealed later on. I'm assuming Masaki was one of them though |
| Overall, I was okay with this episode. It managed to sustain my interest throughout the entire episode compared to previous episodes which I had to force myself to watch. Though that onsen scene didn't really enthrall me... I'm hoping that by the end of its run, the anime will do its job in enticing me to read the light novels; something that so far the manga and anime hasn't done. |

| Two months and a half. I dare say we got our best candidate for Best Comedy of this Season. |
| "I've never thought of him as a potential love interest" BULLSH** And Suzaku got his aim locked at Miyuki, now that's interesting. Otherwise, not much happening, just building up that momentu for later. |

Hopefully it will be renewed for the Yokohama Arc and maybe Remembrance too? |
| so is Erika a 'weed' or a 'bloom'? why was she not chosen to go to the competition? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
Jose07 said: so is Erika a 'weed' or a 'bloom'? why was she not chosen to go to the competition? Erika is a weed. Weeds are simply NOT chosen to compete or support - Tatsuya was the only (and glaring) exception. |

| People bitching about tatsuya boring most hate it when robots don't show expression in anime.....That's how his character is set up ....if he goes around showing emotion it will backfire when it is revealed .... and LN fans most remember that the anime has to go through a manual to explain the magical jargons in the light novel .....I for a while thought mknr won't be able to be animated with all the technical jargons the light novel feeds you ......the main prob with light novel has been the tenchnical jargons ...and its very important ....so when we have an anime just enjoy the ride |

Tatsuya is a genius while everyone else lacks common brains to do simplest of tasks. Thus complaining. Sure, others have done some fighting, casting spells, but no one did anything of any real importance or significance even slightly comparable to Tatsuya. Think of it (since Star wars picture) as Yoda and Luke on first encounter. While Yoda was lifting X-wing and giant boulders Luke was lifting small rocks. And although lifting even rocks is impressive it falls flat when you see what Yoda does. 2. The 2nd part of what you said is where most arguments come from. Non-readers, myself included, often ask themselves what the heck just happened. And then it never gets explained or just gets 5s of telling Tatsuya is badass (see magic cancellation and flying magic parts as example of this). So, since I have no idea what they just said and everyone takes him "inventing" magic as a given I get angry at it and hella annoyed. On the other hand, LN-readers get annoyed at my rant about nothing getting explained with one of the; "Gonna get explained later", or "It was explained in LN and mentioned here, too long explanation, stop whining." The part where, based on your comment, stuff was explained in detail in LN is the part where all issues stem from. Almost nothing is explained in show. This threads have less and less people commenting and even when they are filled with comments it's nowadays just same people going with chain replies to one another. The reason is people got bored of trying to explain LN-readers stuff is badly adapted if non-readers can't understand jack and keep posting questions. I had more things explained here than in the actual show. That is not how adaptation should work. This is FSN all over again. Except I knew everything about that show since I've "played" VN. Go watch Unlimited blade works movie and try explaining to me what happened there. No way you're gonna make sense of it. Yet it's fully clear to me. Same thing is happening here with LN readers. I hate pulling out ratings since they're stupid as hell, but the thing is, this show, even with huge LN following, fell from 400 to 700 in only 10 episodes. Doesn't that tell people anything? It's not about whining anymore, it's about getting annoyed at show. P.S. Incoming "Stop whining and ranting" comments. |

Or are you saying they adapted Enrollment only in 7 episodes just to fill the rest of it with 9SC and side stories? |
EasyGo-er said: Can't remember the source but they've already confirmed the season would end with Yokohama arc.

LOL at those that thought Tatsuya was the one who used lightning magic,pls watch the show instead of counting onii-sama's :) |
| Tatsuya is OP, too OP. And here I thought, Mikihiko got inspired by him and got badass at end. |
 |
| Some spoilers, and the big one as well, are flying around freely in this thread. Spoilers tag, people, spoilers tag! |
| yea idk what the fuck is going on lol. Too many technical terms Mass spell cancellation by Tatsuya is OP. What is gram dispersion? Also he has some insane spell detection even from covert micro scale spells. OP OP OP |
People bitching about tatsuya boring most hate it when robots don't show expression in anime..... There's clearly a problem when a robot and a phallus-looking tentacle alien have more personality (take note, not emotion) than a human. |

Or are you saying they adapted Enrollment only in 7 episodes just to fill the rest of it with 9SC and side stories? Truth to be told I WAS worried they might do that (filling the rest of the episodes with 9SC and volume 5 side-stories) - I had read it was the first 4 volumes at Mahouka wikia, though I do realize the source is not too reliable, but since I couldn't find anything else, I was kind of bummed by it. |
| Tatsuya's pretty much best at everything he tries, but there are rather valid reasons for that. And... perhaps in BD version... there will be less steam , because they probably won't remove the robes. |

| I wonder when will Tatsuya be on his knees and beg? He's too great. He needs to get beaten at least once. |
| Ichijou, Masaki's voice actor was that of Kirito from SAO and Sora from No Game No Life. |

Plot growth and all is fine but they make it so boring. I am fine with lack of action (the action has been sub-par so far anyway) but faces never change and a lot of the voice actors are monotone or annoying. The MC is so unbelievably boring and the sister is so annoying. I would prefer if this show focused on the side characters because they are at least decently interesting and not annoying/boring. have u read LN or at least some part in vol 8 LN when yotsuba almost died ( as far as i remember, CMIIW ) ? if not, no wonder u say that.. and no wonder many people so annoy with miyuki.. anybody who already read LN especially vol 8 ( i'm still in vol 3 ) MUST already know y miyuki so attach to tatsuya... i'm not going to spoil it, but i think it's already showed in every OP anime show.. and, imagine if u in miyuki position AND DON'T think about different personality... i bet u will do what miyuki do now sorry for some harsh comment Sorry but I've read till vol 11 and I still think Miyuki is an annoying bitch. And no I still wouldn't be a possessive brocon during whatever happened in vol 8. You know its kind of funny that the only emotion Tatsuya has is his love for imouto chan and ironically Tatsuya is the only person she cares about( in an unhealthy way). So yeah the author is using an obvious writing technique to attract readers who are into stuff like these. |

| Loved the fanservice. It seems Tatsuya is always there if there are troubles. Kind of lame. |

Reading and understanding is different you know.You are forcing your values and POV on her and is against the author's intent.If you are offended by the "incest" theme why did you read until vol 11?and why are still watching the anime? BTW for those asking for action,this anime is not your typical shonen anime with big long fights every other ep.I suggest you drop it now if your more into mindless violence type shows. |
| I loved this episode, like (almost) every other. I mean, I really enjoy watching this anime. The art of the episode was quite nice (like always) and I am looking forward to how Mikihiko will react towards Tatsuya's use of magic. I have noticed though, that almost every episode ends in what seems like a cliffhanger. Also, the patriarch/chairman(of magic association)'s use of magic to test the students of the nine schools in the audience was also remarkable. It would have been much more fun if he had divulged the names of the 5 students who saw through his trick [I would have loved the reactions of the students who underrate Tatsuya]. I'm still curious though, as to who they were. [My guesses would be, besides Tatsuya: Masaki, maybe Mibu and that male chairman from Tatsuya's school] Although, I must say, after watching 10 episodes, I still don't understand why this anime gets so much hate. Even now, it's rated 7.83. I mean, it definitely deserves a 8 if not 8.2+. |

It's not a perfect adaption and I have some gripes (like lack of internal monologues,lack of characterization with Miyuki,which both kinda improved this ep,lack of Honoka screen time :) ). |
| Not much happened, but I enjoyed this episode. I wonder how long it'll take for someone to realise Tatsuya's identity. That could create an interesting scenario after all :) |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

Nope it's because it's been pretty damn boring to far, score has been going down pretty steadily since the show started was at 8.10 when I frist looked, same thing seems to be happening in Japan as well frist volume sales predictions have near enough halved. |

More like, they were expecting an engaging story from the get go and just set the bar too high for this one just because of the hype even though the hype mostly came from LN readers who've read up to the interesting part of the story. Yeah, it's not a perfect adaptation but I'm mostly happy that it was at least a decent adaptation compared to most other LN adaptations. I hope the anime keeps improving on how they handle things just like what we've seen in this episode. And don't you dare cutting any more of Honoka's screen time Madhouse. I see you're also a Honoka fan so I know how you feel about that though forgive me if I'm wrong. :P |

It's been in the top 3 most popular anime this season in various polls in Japan.Predictions are...predictions,lets talk once sales have been confirmed.It's LN outsold Index this year and almost 3x outsold NGNL which seems to be very popular in here. Boring is subjective,if you are expecting mindless violence every other ep it's boring,but if you want more than that (no I'm not talking about the "incest") it's enjoyable and has an interesting story.

| I wish there a time period restriction from posting every time someone posted a spoiler without using spoiler tag. It would make coming to threads much less painful. A person X responds to spoiler-free post from person Z with response filled with spoilers, to which said person Z now, to prove his supremacy in topic, responds with even more spoilers. Gotta love that shit... |

And here we go with the straw man arguments. No one is asking for mindless violence. We just want things to happen (advance the plot! Do something meaningful!) rather than watch static talking heads for half the episode especially when the conversations amount to just fellating Tatsuya. |
