Ahahahah I just laughed so hard when that girl told Chiaki that she could surpass Tatsuya...



Wut?! Seriously? I thought it was amazing tho. Am I the only one here that likes "information flow" in anime? It's one of the best parts to enjoy, at least for myself. This "information flow", the story and the actions scenes are really worth watching, I think it's amazing. Well, I guess that most of the people like more the action part than the story itself but that's just how different every taste is.

I just love how much information this story needs to support the main plot, it's just too perfect.
Amazing episode as always. Predicting epic scenes in the next episode! =D

So to light novel readers, is the adaptation of Mahouka bad? I enjoy Mahouka but the lack of information results in ass pulls. Series feels rushed and apparently skips over a lot of necessary content.

The adaptation has skipped on quite a lot of the source material so as an adaptation it's a failure pretty much. Still got me to read the novels at least.

I think the adaption was pretty bad at the beginning, there were a lot of things that they could have done to make it easier for anime-only fans to watch. I think in retrospect the adaption is fine, they have finally explained and contextualized most things, so if one (like me) sticks with it the adaption becomes decent. Of course they had to cut a lot of details out, but that is expected with an adaptation.

That said, I would also say that part of the problem lies with the writer. He has a habit of mentioning things and then not touching them for 3 or 4 novels. Part of the problem here is that he has a lot of ideas so some of them get squeezed out, but part of it seems to be he is the type of person who has planned out things long in advance and as such he has all the parts in his head, forgetting that his readers are not him. It really really helped to read the first 10 novels in 4 days, I was able to keep things in mind and picked up on this things, I would not have if I had to wait 4-6 months between volumes.

Oh I see, do you know the current volume the anime is at as of this episode? Also is the story going in chronological order or is the anime changing the sequence?

Takuan_Soho said:


They are at volume 7, they have followed this show exactly as the novels have progressed. They did skip volume 5 and this had a lot of personal details, but given that they wanted to finish with this arc (and they definitely made the right decision there), it wasn't the fault of the adaption to cut volume 5 out.

Hmm it seems the novel is ongoing, hope for a second season :D

This ep was meh. Wan't some cool fights in the next ep.

Takuan_Soho said:


You will get 66 minutes of it over the next three episodes :-)

..... But the battles that he is involved in last only at most 1 minute ...... I guess the other 65 minutes would be explaining what he was doing that 1 minute.

I expect an action-packed episode next week! enough with the complicated terms and talk.

Dang, so it seems the anime is more so for the light novel readers. As an anime only viewer I wish they explained on things a bit more. Nevertheless the series enjoyment level is still high. I mean who doesn't love op characters :D!

This is going to be fun.

Its not even end of October to be more exact :P

So Cardinal George knows Tatsuya is Taurus Silver?

Tyrel said:
So much rushing. I've already spoiled myself through small summaries of the novel, but my god do they ever skip out on some of the stuff. Kinda sad to see that tbh. The only good arc was the School Competition Arc and everything else has just been mehish...

Well, at least we'll get to see some action soon and more OP Tatsuya.

And even when it is "rushed" it is still slow and filled with tons of awfully written infodumps that make the plot almost never move forward. 90% of this show is literally just worthless bullshit uttered by cardboards to validate the questionable writing of its author.

Sheees, a filler episode with some rocket science in it.

Episode with less action than the previous, I felt that it was only a preparation for the battles to come in the next episodes, I hope this time appear a opponent who Tatsuya not defeat so easily
I liked Kyouko Fujibayashi using his powers of persuasion and manipulating people in this episode, it would be nice if she had a little more prominent in the story ..
