THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
NEW ARC.

So we get some info on this philosopher stone. Shiba Sayurim makes her appearance in this episode. They talk a bit about research but that conversation sure went South.

At this rate, I'm assuming 2 chapters per episode with some additional anime content probably to cover this arc. Obviously they're going to skip the Summer arc. Maybe they will animate those in OVAs or something.

New arc time. Not much new scenes in OP. Alchemist... then report writing for a sempai and deadline soon. Stepmother incoming. So he entered the academy just to be his sister's guardian. He got requested to analyze relic.

Sister's servicing brother time again. Then showing someone interested in relic.

Wow, his brain is sharp that he's interested in something other than the main thing.

I will give Madhouse some credit here, though it was a great weakness for much of the series, I like how his fellow students are both slowly starting to figure out and slowly starting to accept that there is something very strange about Tatsuya. Erika in the coffee shop was this episodes example of it, Saegusa has been in several of the prior episodes. This is some that collectively becomes more interesting as time goes by, and is very deliberate, but the downside was that it really weakened the first dozen episodes.

But now it has become a form of a "running joke" (though not a joke per se).

Episode is very heavy in the exposition, so be forewarned.

Another thing I like is that Miyuki is now using her relationship with her brother more as a weapon in itself rather than just being gushy about it. She used it against Erika when she called her a Bro-con, used it against Ichijo last episode, and used it again this one. When the "oniisama's" have a specific point, they are not nearly as annoying as they were at the start. Also with the maid outfit, they did it with more a sense of her playing with Tatsuya than again being gushy, so that is fine as well.

The sniper scene pretty much explains why Tatsuya has to have the reboot power. I brought this up back in 3 or 4, but sniping IS the best weapon for normals against magicians, the Terrorist Organization should have used it against the First School, so it was nice that they used it here against the Japanese agent. As a front line agent, without his auto heal, Tatsuya would be one dead MC, so the author needed to give him the ability to overcome it. Also the need for Elemental Sight has now been explained. An agent needs to be able to take out the sniper as well.

So that scene was very efficient in fleshing out Tatsuya's skill set. This ties back to how his instructor was casually breaking them apart in a compare and contrast discussion back during the competition.

Nice to also see that Tatsuya is starting to bring Miyuki more into knowing what was going on. Keeping her innocent is the worse thing he could have done to her. I am still waiting to see her cut loose like Tatsuya did last episode.

So continuing the head of steam from the 13th episode, makes looking forward to next week worth it.

This technique is called lampshading. Doesn't necessarily excuse anything, as something needs to happen with whatever you're lampshading to be effective. Merely pointing it out in-universe doesn't do much.

That sniper guy will be missed and forever remembered. He was so close to killing Oniisama. Too bad Jesus Oniisama is all-powerful that he won't die even if killed. Sasuga Oniisama.

I hear Yusa Kouji as Zhou and Toyoguchi Megumi as Sayuri. Two more big names to the cast list.

First he solves the mystery behind flying with magic... now he's trying to solve nuclear fusion?!?!

He's also the main man behind an international CAD supplier that's run by his step-mother?!?!

Then he immediately heals a shot to the heart?!?!

Miyuki just keeps wearing clothes showing more and more skin every time :3...in front of her Onii-sama XD

Dat Engrish :O I didn't expect they'd make them speak English when I was reading the LNs ^^;

Rather than batman to me Tatsuya in OP looks like venom to me with the reflection.
Also, looking at this episode, looks like they're gonna try to rush through the details, packing as much as possible. 8 episode seem possible, they might even cover the thesis incident in 1 episode and the final battle in 2. This makes the NSC felt really dragged out.

Btw, there's something bugging me. Between 19:25 - 19:50, what's the phrase that's repeating in the soundtrack? sounded like otome rabu or something to me..

Just like the start of any new arc, we got lots of talking and explaining in this one but I think that I was able to keep up with it (barely I belive). At least we got a little taste of Tatsuya god-mode action and Miyuki in DAT APRON... Onii-sama...

TBH this episode, has so much crammed information in here and it is pretty difficult for me to grasp all these magic term words, and organization. Well, it is the start of the new arc, so I expect this to have some twist in them. A little backstory on the Shiba's mother and Sayuri introduced as the 2nd mother.

Thesis Competition, Nino Magatan, Relics, and the Great Asian Alliance, all of this one episode.... Yeah I'm going to have difficulty understanding these.

But what I like is that the intensity he got shot and then fired back at the sniper, looks pretty cool.

This is so true, it's a really close call. If his heart got sniped, then he'd be dead for sure. he was lucked out xD
I didn't expect they'd make them speak Englih, and moreover it's not really that much engrish style on it.

This episode is really goood, I like it except the fact that Madhouse skipped how the Student Council President election was held in the LN.

One should have been used to it by now, but this car chase/action scene felt so horribly off with the leftout narration and monologues. And this harbor running scene was kinda hard on the eyes with them constantly wobbling back and forth while talking.

Tatsuya is going to use the Philoshophers Stone to get his emotions back or what? In any case, he should ask the Elric brothers what they're made out of first.

The Sayuri Shiba lady was really asking a lot of her outfit. Best to buy something a size bigger.

Kind of sad they skipped this from the LN :



Would be hilarious to watch.

Also sad they didn't show us the part where Tatsuya pinches Miyuki's nose for her "childish behavior" in front of Sayuri. Would be a nice moment.

These are just details, though. But this covered a lot of stuff... I think this is gonna be rushed.
