I do not think there are any tsundere females in this series though.
I think Hattori is a tsundere.

I'll agree with that assessment. It's strange, I love this anime despite no tsundere female. I wonder why I still like it?

Oh, right, it has little sisters. :P

its good that they fastened the arc 2.............. but the animators just SPED it up they skipped most ALL of the interesting conversations happened in those scenes!!!! man they even jumbled the fact that no head dragons should be packing rather than sitting their asses when tatsuya attacked them!! T_T man.. poor ... this episode made me disappointed..... the episodes before i mean all where better but this single episode is a butchery to the whole scenes in the novel T_T

This show is so boring, and I can't get invested in anything that's going on... I've stuck it out this far, so I'll finish it, but I'll probably be giving it a 2/10. By 18 episodes, I would have expected *something* interesting to have happened by now.

He interested on it.

Isn't people claimed what so good about Mahouka was all those info-dump which many of that are in Vol 1 & 2. That's why i said the most fun choice.


Thanks for both your help. All LN I have read I usually start from where the show leaves off from do to the fact that I already know what's going on. I'll most likely start on volume 5 and go from there. I appreciate the help of both of you.

Vol5 are side stories. There are only 2 important chaps, prez election and the vacation. Then you can jump to vol6, the beginning of Yokohama arc.

As a LN reader, I strongly recommend you to read from vol1. I started the vol 1 after watching first arc in manga. It gives you a solid knowledge of the Mahouka-verse

Well, IMO they wasted too much time on it. They should just cut out about 1/3 of what they animated.

And it was nice to see that dance scene with everybody getting some time with Tatsuya. Speaking of which, he was looking legit as fuck just demolishing those guys.

I think there should be a Bechdel-Tatsuya test** for this series. Basically, an episode passes the test if there is at least one scene where at least two characters (neither of which are Tatsuya) do not talk about or mention Tatsuya in any capacity.

It'd be interesting to see how many and which episodes come out unscathed.

**
1. It has to have at least two non-Tatsuya characters in it,
2. who talk to each other,
3. about something besides Tatsuya.

The original test was intended to apply to stories as a whole, as far as I am aware.

Modified to be solely about the relation to the main character, I'm pretty sure Mahouka as a whole passes it already, but that doesn't change the fact that Tatsuya is a black hole of a character at times. Likewise I am certain that I could write a short story without a black hole character that fails this test with regards to, say, the story's main villain.

The change you've suggested applies it episode by episode, which raises several questions:
1. Why should anyone care if a given episode fails it? I am almost certain that shows without characters as all-encompassing as Tatsuya would fail this test for some episodes.
2. How many times should the test 'fail' for the story as a whole to 'fail?'
3. Why is it valid to conclude that "X episodes failing this test" actually indicates that Tatsuya is a black hole character, as opposed to basing this on the general way the story presents him?

The problem of whether the test measures anything worth measuring still remains. I would call Tatsuya a black hole character no matter how many episodes pass or fail this modified test.

In short I do not believe the Bechdel test provides an accurate measure of what it is supposed to measure, and I am not convinced modifying the test in the way you describe changes this.

I apologize if any of this sounds rude or overly dismissive but I do not like "mary sue calculators" (which seems to be what you have turned this test into) and similar things (such as the Bechdel test in its original form). It is my opinion that they encourage people to find an easy answer without thinking about whether the answer they're getting is actually an answer to the question they're asking, and to unthinkingly accept the opinion of somebody else as their own.

Holy shit, dude, lighten up. I was just making a joke since this episode was hilarious with how everyone was talking about Tatsuya at numerous occasions when he was offscreen. Retroactively applying the Bechdel-Tatsuya test would be no different humor-wise from that drinking game thread or the onii-sama count.

Tatsuya is ruthless when Miyuki is brought into danger
He's getting more and more attention from the other factions

The balroom dances felt a lot like the scene from Final Fantasy VIII with the English background song and all

Picked up an episode from this series after a long drop - hell, Juumonji or Ichijou are so much more interesting than the MCs. I wish for the upteenth time that this series had been about conflicts of clan-oriented magical prodigies with normal set of emotions, not an OP incestual pair of Sues.

Lol that CG at the dance was terrible.

This arc was pretty boring, but it had its few moments.

The only good things about this anime is the visuals and ED 2, but the LN is rated fairly high, so i'm guessing MADHOUSE fucked this one up,doesn't seem like them, but oh well, no one is perfect.

Wait, how is that a spoiler? We already know he's a part of the Yotsuba Clan, even though they treat him like a mere bodyguard, which is, to this day, still the stupidest idea they could've had besides making him emotionless.

Here is what interests me, the conversation between Tatsuya and Jumonji reminds me of Kirihara and Jumonji conversation.

In Kirihara's case, he confessed his romantic love for Mibu to Jumonji.
And Tatsuya, if he marry Mayumi, well Master Clans might be relieved from the frustration, I guess.

These man to man conversations, to me, Jumonji is rather being a some kind of a cupid who encourage other males with romantic relationship with an opposite gender.
So who is next? Hattori? Who is always wants Mayumi to look at him, it is all over his elitism face.
Maybe Mikihiko, who is flustered at Mizuki and hard to look straight into her eyes for a while now.
Who knows, Leo unexpectedly pour out his honest feelings for Erika instead of being arrogant around her all the time.
It has to be Jumonji who always first finds out.?
Joking though.

Maybe, even this calm and collected Jumonji might open his mouth wide open if Tatsuya tells him his romantic interests is actually Miyuki all along, who is also from a Master Clan.
Half joking.

Looking forward to the next episode, I think it'll come out tomorrow.

Well, this arc ends faster that I thought. Good news then, they could have more episodes for Yokohama.
Have slight doubt that they would animate the Beach sidestory in the future, since what Fujibayashi said in this episode basically covered that (in terms of information).

Good episode this one. Great to see Decomposition in action as well.

Well now, bring on Yokohama.
