tbh i feel like i was just watching a documentary of a documentary of an anime....i get that Tatsuya is suppose to be detached but is he going to be this boring throughout the whole series?

Idk why people still response to wrenchbread and Nidhoeggr, we all know they are for for attention just don't response, pretend they don't exist they get bored and leave.

Probably, because as you can guess Tatsuya isn't much of of a talkative person, apart from explaining how some o the magic works and more the type who rather keeps his thoughts to himself. Just that the directors of this anime adaption apparently thought it was somehow a good idea to omit all his thoughts and inner monologue, which would give insight into his character.

tokumei-ko said:
Also that conversation he had with Kazama(?) and those other officers felt so grating to the ears. I hate it when other characters try to put a main character on a high pedestal like as if it's their first time to have met

tokumei-ko said:
Tatsuya would have been better off saying his documentary as inner monologue then actually sounding like a nerd who knows it all

For gods sake, if you want to look for super awesome battle scenes, go watch Gurren Lagann or any over the top Shonen.

Mahouka's appeal is not complete badassery:

No one asked for "super awesome battle scenes", well outside of the light novel readers drooling over the upcoming Yokohama Arc (which is supposed to have "super awesome battle scenes").

What the critics (including myself) want is a little suspense instead of an animation that seems specifically designed to set the stage for Tatsuya awesomeness.


That is ironic to the point of hilarity.


Now I don't want to be completely critical (though in my opinion this was the worse episode because it really should have been the best episode (if that makes sense)), so what I did like was that they finally had interpersonal interaction which finally showed that there is something different about Tatsuya and his emotions.

Isn't the suspense already there....

Tatsu was right to tell Mikihiko that in this particular situation what was important was that the criminals were neutralized and nothing more, but calling him an idiot several times in a row was really pushing it. We got that Miki got an inferiority complex, no need to rub salt in the poor dude's wound.
Also Tatsuya, telling your sister it's dangerous for her to walk around alone in a (probably) 4-fucking star high security hotel, when she's easily the most dangerous person in the entire building: what the fuck.

Well, First High plowing through this episode, basically. Since all the events pretty much went the same way, there was no real tension during any of them and as a result they weren't much fun... Hope we'll get to see some of the guys.

There's something I don't get about the whole competition though : from what we've seen so far most of these "sports" seem to be heavily if not entirely based on magic skills, so why the need to do different events for men and women ?
That's just me nitpicking though.

And I didn't get the point of Mayumi's stretch scene : was this supposed to be fan service ? Is she trying to get in Tatsu's pants ?

If that's your idea of "teasing" somebody, no wonder you don't get any huhu.

I read the light novels, and I think they are pretty good compared to other stuff, and I think most of the ppl here (not you through) keeps thinking that Mahouka is just a stage for Tatsuya.

That's not true, cause the last time I checked, Tatsuya is NOT a Gary Stu.

MagicianX26 said:
Its not the anime that's scraping the bottom of the barrel here, its the GODDAMN FORUMS...

Apparently if its Mahouka, people will just keep hating. For gods sake, if you want to look for super awesome battle scenes, go watch Gurren Lagann or any over the top Shonen.

Mahouka's appeal is not complete badassery: its more talking and scene setting than fighting.

(Then again, the adaptation is quite mediocre, go read the LNs if you can't be bothered.)

I rather try to be as opposite of that, because being awesome as Tatsuya is not human.

forgiuse said:

Moral of the story: Try to be as awesome as Tatsuya, cause you're not awesome enough.

AquaWateria said:
Well if you want to be Tatsuya become experimented and be treated as a tool by your family. Oh yeah go through hell while training to be a guardian with no sense of emotions while your at it. I bet many people would wish to become that of the awesomeness. The sensation that people will feel will be wicked being a soldier that has killed with no mercy. Shit don't you want to join the bandwagon that is filled with awesomeness?

forgiuse said:


Come on. Tatsuya himself said than he get past that stage in this episode. Beside, the little sis who love you is more than make up for it. It's the future that count, right ?
Btw, i think i have found my new hero in this show in Hattori Hanzou, who managed to survive his competition WITHOUT the help of our lord and saviour Tatsuya.

AquaWateria said:
So would you wipe out your emotions just to become awesome?.I'd think you'd be extremely desperate to do that, cause I sure as hell wouldn't attempt that. Then again people think different ways. No emotions means a everlasting awesomeness of vitality in life. Though the question is how can you feel that sensation if you can't express your emotions?

forgiuse said:


If you can't feel it, then why bother ? Tatsuya didn't look very much bothered by it ? He live fine with it. And if he can't feel it, other people's reaction are still worth it.
And i never said i personally want to be awesome. I'm happy being just an ordinary Muggle.
