It's nice to see that Tatsuya does have some sense of humour teasing Mayumi like that, he's not a complete robot on all things other than his sister. Nice to see some of the rest of the group getting some serious screen time, as well. All together great episode.


He has several instances in which he actually trolls people outright including a bunch of bank robbers. Sadly this is only in the novel

So I'm guessing you want me to rephrase that as "all the fanboys masturbating." Okay fine by me then. XD


But I'm a fanboy and I'm not masturbating over that scene/pairing,does that make me weird?? :)

You are. But don't worry, weird is justice.

Tatsuya taking the initiative in the beginning, he was probably like: "Hah, alright, so you wanna know what real tease is all about?". So far it seems the Yokohama arc is like the Nine Schools Competition, only with thesis instead of races.

The episode was OK but slow, and i think it went by without a single "Onii-sama". That makes me sad... : (

That infernal music they use at the beginning of episodes and during light conversation absolutely slays me. It's so overused, DO THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE?

They do, in fact they have plenty of enjoyable tracks to use. Taku Iwasaki is a good composer. The sound director on the other hand is quite bad.


He's a god one but he totally wasted his talent making shitty cheap techno music for this series.

Something has definitely changed in the last 6 weeks or so of episodes. It's like suddenly the team behind this is more interested in trying to bring the story to life or something. Whatever the case this show has seen a noticeable improvement in just about all aspects ever since the latter half of the 9 schools arc and become a little closer to what I'd envisioned the show actually being like. It just feels livelier somehow, it's hard to really put into words.

Also kind of interesting is that while Miyuki appears in this episode multiple times she doesn't have a single line of dialogue which I think has to be a first. I personally don't mind the character like a lot of people, but it's worth noting just the same.

Otherwise, pretty good too. I am also surprised the OST is composed by Iwasaki, wow. Not his style, is it now.

It's because the other characters are starting to come into focus, Tatsuya as a character needs foils, otherwise he is about as interesting as cardboard (on design, mind you, I get where the writer is going on this). Miyuki likewise will improve the more she interacts with these characters because she isn't much of a foil when it comes to her brother (again by design).

They have also started to contextualize the world, which lessens Tatsuya's OPness a bit, and that helps. He may still foot stomp, but now we know more of why he is a foot stomper.

Seeing Tatsuya tease Mayumi made this episode just that more enjoyable... epic actually...

I think Miyuki would have went total yandere had she seen that seen lol.

The only bodyguard Tatsuya need is himself XD.

Seeing that scooter I was like "Duh f-uck?!".

The fight scene was really nice.

Man-eating tiger huh... loool... that was fast...

Bodyguard for Tatsuya? Ha. Haaa. Ahahahahaha.

That would've been fun to watch though:
"Get down, they're shooting."
"No need, I'll regenerate."
"Get down, they're casting magic."
"No need, I'll cancel it."
"What is my job here anyway?"
"I needed someone to tell me how awesome I am again."

Dat Mayumi tease, best way to start an episode. And Lu Gonghu, a guy called the man-eating tiger... Well, let's see how he'll get rekt by godlike Onii-sama. Speaking about that, first episode without a single Onii-sama, WOW. Not to mention Miyuki not getting a single line, I think.

I agree, the BGM in this anime is off in some scenes and way overused

on the other hand, this episode was sooo much better without miyuki and her annoying "onii-sama" >.<

Its basically what me and most people who read the LN been saying is that this thing is really slow going. It does take until second half of the 9 school arc for the background to be set and all the other interesting character to come through. Just glad they didn't fuck that part up XD

For a while I thought you sought better life amongst like-minded Mahouka fans.

Anyways, the show is still bad. Though, it's been less bad in the more recent episodes. Honestly, you're better off sticking with the LNs.

I didn't think Tatsuya could make a joke like that haha

Sure, just let the guy that just tried to kill you have his hands free so he can pull out a gun LOL I wonder why Tatsuya didn't help them out. Pretty sure if those three could tell they were being followed, Tatsuya could tell too.
"Anything you can do I can do better!" is pretty much Tatsuya in a nutshell hahaha

I was reading the comments ahead of me and then I realized, I really didn't hear any "Onii-sama" in this episode. Instant 5/5!

Incompetent spy, being caught by mere high school students, he deserved his fate.
