Dragon_Slayer_X said: Still became the second best-selling LN, passing SAO earlier this year. The point is people liked it and enjoyed it and no it's not like reading the news, it's rather enjoyable. "Dry writing" is still a subjective opinion. I hope you realize that I'm not talking about content, but the delivery of said content. If the content interests you enough to ignore the dry writing, more power to you. And did you just use sales as an indicator of quality? Then CoD is the best video game series of all time, right? |
| Hey look we finally get to see Suzaku again. |
 |
| Dear god they finally voiced character thoughts! Ya know even Miyuki knows Tatsuya has a dull and slightly untrusting personality (thanks mum), but that usually gets some color by him talking with other people, which they don't like showing apparently. Also, Mahouka isn't about 24/7 action that has 1000 year long fight scenes. Here's some minor LN stuff missed: -Again that's supposed to be a small bus rather than a car sliding. -The bus conversation was longer than the LN one which was 3 short lines. -The convo with Hattori & Kirihara was cut shorter. -Miyuki said conspicuous not revealing and I think Mizuki may have had a shorter skirt. -Mari specializes in anti-personal combat. -Miyuki gave sympathies to her brother when dealing with Erika. -A scene about Tatsuya's suit not fitting was left out. Considering how madhouse wanted to shove Miyuki's brocon down your throat, I'm surprised they left it out. -Convo that Tatsuya had with Kanon and Mari were cut out. -Rather than cold, Eri said detached. -Masaki didn't answer after George's question, he only stared at Miyuki with warm eyes. Also banter about how ladies like to approach Masaki was cut out. -The land there belongs to the military. -Honoka said straight not normal. Extra romance talk was cut out. -Isori and Tatsuya's convo was cut out. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: The content did interest me and a lot of other people (if you didn't notice). Again "Dry Writing" is just a subjective opinion of yours. The sales was just to indicate that this so called "Dry writing" still interest a lot of people. I think you should really write something before judging "quality" of other people's work.............since you are such an expert, i believe you will give us something normal at the very best nothing short of an masterpiece.

terrestia said: After watching 10 EP I can conclude that this anime is pretty bad if you haven't read the LNs. There's less mystery and build up to events etc but if you have read them it's pretty good ya. Rubbish fanservice is rubbish though |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| The car and banquet scenes were pretty good. I wonder who else saw through the magic trick. I thought the hot spring scene was done pretty badly though. |
| @Takuan_Soho You seem to have mellowed considerably towards the anime. I'm actually looking forward to reading your opinions nowadays because it feels a lot more reliable coming from someone who has absolutely no reason to praise it. What happened? Did your expectations drop to its lowest possible denominator? |
| For all the hate this show gets I still think its a pretty decent show overall, animation is crisp too. Although the past few eps have been a bit boring so I'm hoping there are some more action scenes. |
| this anime is so fucking awesome.. |
| the dialogue is dry and stilted. even the joking between friends is awkward. tatsuya is no longer surprising either. if there's something off about a situation tatsuya's gonna be there to fix things even if he's already on the other side of the world. it was interesting to watch miyuki say that she has no romantic interest in tatsuya even though she talked about how he isn't aware of her "feelings". this ichijou dude better be good too since the opening implies he's op too. looking forward to the actual competition |
| Hope the anime keeps this up and doesn't miss any of Tatsuya's unbeatable moments. |
| Seemed like a buildup episode, which is fine, plus there was a funny onsen scene, which I will never complain about. Looking forward to more. |

AlexGK said: ^ i don't know whats with this season but the timing for all of this has been to close lol.Wow, what is this, last 2 or so weeks mass obligatory hot spring/beach episodes on all series. Mahouka pls stop with the fanserivce it's embarrassingly bad |
 |
Takuan_Soho said: Agreed with basically everything you've said here. Juumonji, Tatsuya and Miyuki handled that car scene well.. Hattori and Kirihara's conversation was cut short, but whatever. Lol Kirihara calling him a badass XD Erika in a maid outfit! :o And dat hot spring scene.. Guess we'll see Mayumi in action next week :D Kick ass! |

Mahouka pls stop with the fanserivce it's embarrassingly bad Yeah, for some weird reason the show doesn't seem to know how to handle its fanservice at all. It just doesn't work. And really? Still on about that obligatory big boobie girl molesting thingy ? C'mon. But yeah, even though she barely talked about anything but her brother, Miyuki was way more bearable as a character in this episode : I guess hanging around other people does help, after all. |

| After watching 10 episodes, I feel it's time I make my own assessment of this anime, so please feel free to correct me in any point as long as your critics are explained in a constructive way and without offenses. I'm gonna be honest, I'm still to read the LN's (have them saved and tried to start reading them more than 15 times.... always stop after one page, so I'm still at page 12 >_<) however, even though I understand that the story seems fairly interesting and the created concept appealable, truth is that this story seems (and please don't crucify me here, is just my personal honest opinion) to have too many characters and half the time even though I know I'm seeing a part full of action, I fail to feel any king of thrill coming from the story... Let's just say that due to the high number of characters (which I'll admit at some points I even had to stop the anime, come to the MAL site and check the background of the character in question), I can't seem to be able to establish a connection to any of the characters besides Miyuki. So for a TL;DR: The story seems interesting, but nothing more than that. Somehow it fails to pull me over to the story side and share the feelings the characters are supposed to be having (and yes I know that Tatsuya has his own problem on this department, so no jokes necessary here). [/b][color=blue] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/color][/b]Regarding this last episode I wonder who the five in question were... Maybe Tatsuya, Miyuki, Mayumi Saegusa, Masaki Ichijou (since he seems to be the antagonist), and the last spot maybe Chiba? Edit: typo (had "side story" instead of "story side") |

Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| even the characters in this anime are starting to call tatsuya a badass aha. |
 |
| Now I can see why there are people saying that he can cure cancer someday. |
| Keep moving forward |

[/color] ? Having a huge cast isn't necessarily a problem as long as they contribute something to the story. The issue with huge casts only arises when, say, half of said cast is useless. |
| At first I thought that the bus scene was a bit too short, but then I realized that it wasn't really long either in the LN, lol. And Grim Dispersion term made his debut, I thought they're going to show it a bit later. They actually put Hattori-Kirihara scenes in, even though only the important parts. But it's a bit shame that they cut Mari's part during the banquet. Some interesting parts there, but then again interesting not really important. That Erika in maid uniform, wow XD It never stated in the LN the other 4 who noticed the magic, kinda wished they would show it here, oh.... Interesting to see that they chose to show only Mikihiko's POV during the intruder scene. Next episode should be mostly action, with the competition starting to get underway. |
| So the Prince was introduced to some of the group in this episode I just wonder what will happen when Tatsuya and the prince meet. Great episode!!! |

 |
| I'm still waiting for some big fighting scene where Tatsuya is in the spotlight. I always feel disappointed every episode hoping that I could see those scene. I guess I just want to see the true power of Tatsuya. |
 |
| I really don't like how Tatsuya randomly appears everytime there is a problem. Anyway, was an OK episode, or maybe it's because I'm getting used to this anime. But I don't know, for once, it didn't seem they were trying to confuse when they were explaining their magical power. Miyuki was also a bit more interesting, but I disliked how the other were fangasming on her (Miyuki, you're so strong! Miyuki, you're so pretty! COME ON!). |
| Boring as usual |
OSOI! |
Sapewloth said: Lol, nice Mizuki shaming this episode: You have no idea what "risqu���é" actually means, Miyuki, do you? I would agree that those clothes look pretty bad (they're goddam ugly to be honest), but there's not a single thing that could be considered even remotely daring in Mizuki's outfit: tbh it looks more like something that a middle schooler would wear than anything else. Miyuki is basically just bothered because Mizuki got big boobs. Whattabitch. Yeah, that's also how I understood that scene. |
| Cut dialogues here and there but it's still a good episode :) |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That ending could've been a little better, but whatever it was still good. :p Tatsuya is a boss. |

Thankfully Yokohama is included in this season, where everyone will get their chance to be useful :3 LazyLuong said: Mizeteo said: I'm still waiting for some big fighting scene where Tatsuya is in the spotlight. I always feel disappointed every episode hoping that I could see those scene. I guess I just want to see the true power of Tatsuya. Next arc is where all the fights are, the current arc is more about the magic version of some sport competitions, such as shooting, surfing, tennis, etc. So it's going to be a while. Well, Monolith Code is basically a team fight and the longest competition in this arc so that's what I'm most looking forward to. Though this arc alone seems like it would take up to 10 episodes and with Monolith Code being at the end of it, it will be quite a wait too it seems. |
EasyGo-er said: Thankfully Yokohama is included in this season, where everyone will get their chance to be useful :3 I mean contributing to the overall narrative and development of the cast; not necessarily the fights. At this point I find it hard to care about what happens to these people. |

At least to me, these huge cast provide a bigger look on the events, be it in fights or interactions with each other aside from Tatsuya's perspective and they do play a bigger part in later arcs though it won't be possible to see it in this season. |
| SASUGA ONIII SAMA SUBARASHII DESU!!! SUGOI SUGOI!!! Every god damn episode. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| Since when the hell could Tatsuya use electric-magic? What else does he have up his sleeve? |
4kicks said: Since when the hell could Tatsuya use electric-magic? What else does he have up his sleeve? Probably Doraemon judging by the amount of bullshit asspulls he's done so far. |
