I am so glad that this is over. I only finished watching this because of a promise. Overall, the only redeeming quality about this show is the good animation and voice cast, which did a decent job. Otherwise, it's utterly horrible. One-dimensional characters, broken plot, fights that can be overly complex, too much goddamn "onii-sama". If the show had been like the last arc during the entire run, I would have given it a 5. However, the first two arcs feels like some of the worst fanfiction material out there. I am actually hoping Madhouse drops this to focus on something else with their capabilities but I guess that's just wishful thinking. Good animation????hahaha.the animation sucked after the 1st few eps,and MH butchered the story.But I agree with you,hope they change studios for a possible season 2 ,because MH failed terribly again to adapt an LN :) |

If it some plot points were lost during the adaption, the overall story is horrible. There are other LNs that deserves an adaption (or continuation) more than this one. |
| Missing the times of Rewrite, good times. |
| My comedy of the year has ended! Man I really laughed my ass off, especially with this episode. TATSUYA3GOOD5YOU |

Nope MH just butchered the story,killed characterization and rushed/cut too many important scenes making it incoherent.Almost the way they butchered Mahou Sensou.I'd rather MH stick with manga's or original anime's. :) Hoping for 8-bit or Silverlight or JC Staff for s2 :) |

| Finally it is over...26 episodes; it was too long for that anime. In most episodes I got bored... I finished it ijust to finish . 5/10 (I probably won't watch if 2. season comes out) |
| May the Tatsuya be with you, from now on. |
| Enjoyed it. seeing him use that Material Burst to destroy everything makes it more fun. enjoyed the anime, thought Tatsuya was fecking epic, and probably the best point, none of the main and pseudo main characters where annoying or useless, so thats always a bonus |
 |
| Tactical Tatsuya deployed! |

| wow tatsuya really just owned them all tatsuya godness probably the most memorable thing about this show,,, story not much still a good show 7/10 animation was consistent every ep. kudos mad house~! |
 |
| Overall: one of the few anime series I'd watch again. |
| Good riddance to the most OP character ever created. I will never understand why this series is so popular. |
| Too bad the anime is vastly inferior to the LN, but I still enjoyed watching this show :) |
| The show could've benefited more from initial world building. This show's main strength is its action, but it's hindered by its bad pacing (e.g. ending the episode right in the middle of a fight without warning). A lot of the time is also spent explaining how even the most obvious scenarios worked, indicating a lack of "show, not tell." 5/10 |

Vexper said: Let this series serve as one of my many examples of how to be a fucking god awful writer. I've seen better on the shelves of my local book store aimed at 5 year olds. If this series is honestly what you believe to be height of anime judging by the amount of 8-10's this is getting then that's just sad. Surely standards haven't dropped that far. I know we've been through a rough patch my friends but please don't let your mental capacity degrade this much. This anime is the homeless bum of the industry, and rather than give it drug money in the form of BD/merchandise sales, lets shove it under a blanket and hope it survives the winter. Because by god I hope I've forgotten about it come the winter. The dialogue was absolutely cringe worthy. They couldn't figure out any method of exposition aside from some of the clunkiest overdrawn senseless info dumps that I've ever seen. The 'action' was without any single ounce of suspense or emotion because before anyone even went into the combat you already knew the winner. It was like one of the Rugrats had equipped themselves with a dictionary and decided to write a story using their own faeces as ink. This^^ Awful writing+episodic nature ruined what could have been an excellent anime. Every time i watched this i kept thinking how interesting it could have been, just to be disappointing. I still like it a lot more than some stuff i have watched so: 5/10 This is definetly going to be the first light novel i'll read, if i start reading them. |
 |
| holy shit it ended with a bang |
 |
| It was okay some arcs were way better than others. Overal I enjoyed it. 8/10. |

| I hope there is a second season! |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Enjoyed that series quite a lot and I wouldn't mind a second season as well. |
| Well, well. My favourite anime of this season ends. The Saturdays without Tatsuya and Miyuki will be painful. I really enjoyed Material Burst and Tatsuya's other nickname being revealed. After he obliterated the enemy he goes back to being a student, hah. So typical, i'm gonna miss that. It was a good ending episode, opened doors for a second season (hopefully!), and the ending scene? Cute. Yep, it was. 5/5 for the episode. I've actually decided to write my very first review on MAL, and it'll be for Mahouka. See you in season 2, Onii-sama~ |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| I came for the Material Burst, and it didn't disappoint. Onii-sama proved the he is god~ Now, season 2 when? The sales are good so it is unthinkable they won't make a new one. Aside from that, I also want to see Lina, Honoka v2 and Honami :/ hibikiyamada said: So, how does the source material compare? I've heard plenty of people say that the anime butchered the light novel series, so I was considering on just reading that instead. Any thoughts? Like a Manual :) Of course, it's a universal rule that the source material is better than the adaptation. There are a few exceptions though... |
| Oh, the trainwreck finally ended. Good grief that was a terrible show. I liked how they tried to shoehorn in a weakness for Tatsuya in the last episode. "He's not THAT OP. He still feels the pain, ya know." Yeah, he feels 150x the pain and still shows zero emotion for it. 6/10 and that's being generous. |
 |
| I need a summary of this arc lol. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Scorched halloween. That sounds so damn awesome!! It seems like this is where the story really begins. |
hibikiyamada said: So, how does the source material compare? I've heard plenty of people say that the anime butchered the light novel series, so I was considering on just reading that instead. Any thoughts? The light Novel is better compared to the anime itself, and the current rating of Mahouka Series on MAL is too overatted. This series should deserve rating at least 7.50+ not 7.84 There are lot of better explanation as well as lot of monologue from Tatsuya, Miyuki and Other Character. the character development on LN is pretty much better than the Anime series and in the LN they showed the background story how and why Tatsuya became like this way after the Yokohama Arc (Which is just ended in the Anime) |
 |
| Holy crap it's finally over so many things have taught me not to give into hype anymore with yet again another show that was hyped to no end turning out pretty bad with very few good parts not to mention having OP MC which is in fact god. truly want to believe the LNs are good but for this adaptation it gets a 6/10 |

hibikiyamada said: So, how does the source material compare? I've heard plenty of people say that the anime butchered the light novel series, so I was considering on just reading that instead. Any thoughts? Honestly all I can suggest to you is to try read a volume. Even though I found the novels quite entertaining myself - Mahouka's novels have a particular style that I can imagine not appealing to everyone. A sizeable part of the narration is spent on the inner workings of the characters - thoughts, monologues, subtextual level and explanations sourrounding situations rather than just things happening. That is also what I expect made the whole thing so difficult to adapt. And here with this adaption the production team decided to leave all that out of the adaption. So that in the end the anime is more or less just bare bones - the things that actually happen rather than a presentation of the whole picture. But that also meant that you haven't gotten much of an insight into the characters. A flaw wich was especially detrimental for Tatsuya. I mean even in the novels he isn't the spring of life but for a character such as his that rather keeps his thoughts to himself it is necessary to get these to see his perspective. So for that alone I think it is woth to read the novels. Aside from that they rushed a lot through these arcs so that means a lot of cut scenes, context and character interactions. The worldbuilding again is of course pretty much the strongest point going for Mahouka and therefore its novels. And it is of course more detailed in those. So give it a try. It is like I said before not the best thing since sliced bread but can be pretty entertaining. |
 |
| WELP GG GUYS I R8 TATSUYA IS A GOD MY SCORE IS GOD/TATSUYA |
 |
| Solid 8/10. For people crying that it was too slow: It wasn't. For those who say it was too fast and didn't explain every thought process of every character at all times: That's impossible outside of a book. |
| Could someone who read the novel tell me in SPOILERS if there's any antagonists similar strength to Shiba or at least a bit tough to beat? This OP thing is starting to get on my nerves |
| So they finally did some explanations of the abilities, and we get to see the relevance of the auntie. Although it was a pretty bad adaptation, I'm giving it an 8/10 just cuz Tatsuya. |
 |
| 9/10 for sorcerer halloween |
 |
| Finally got to see properly the massively powerful magic Tatsuya used in the opening scenes of the first episode. The man is more powerful than a nuclear missile! Now that his classmates know more about his powerful abilities and his military background I doubt they will see him the same way. I'm very interested to see what will happen next to everyone and whether Tatsuya goes back to school, despite the fact he's very much above going there. I really liked this series despite the fact I would often get confused by some of the info dumps and while a lot of the greater details of this show and it's world escaped my understanding it was incredibly entertaining series with interesting and engaging characters. Here's hoping for a second series! 9/10 |
 |
| Tatsuya is a God. No doubt about it. Activating two large scale Material Bursts on the Great Asian Alliance and causes a turning point in history - Scorched Halloween I love muh OP Alpha Gary Stu characters, I really do. I heard the LNs are doing good in sales, so I'm expecting a season 2. 8/10 |
 |
| "slow clap and cries :( Brilliant 10/10 My a$$hole  ;) - XD Hmm future weapons maybe? he now has a third eye gun and his regrowth is his daruma? :O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva |
 |
| And ends this that was one of the most anticipated anime of the year, it took a few episodes to catch a rhythm to arrest the viewer, but has improved a lot and had a great ending The last episode had a very rapid development, yet the action scenes were good and showed how Tatsuya is a character stolen, with one hand he takes life easily and with the other can also easily recover life The animation was excellent, as well as the soundtrack, the development was also very good, and the adaptation of last arcs was also very good I personally quite like the plot of this story, and the LN is very good indeed, so who interested in anime should definitely read, even the adapted arches by anime should be read, and the next arc is directly linked to the final request of the aunt of Tatsuya and Miyuki, will there be a second season? Certainly the anime was very good and I recommend everyone to see .. |
  |
| Holy crap, nerf mages! |
 |
| Scorched? He remodeled the landscape haha. As an LN reader, the adaptation gets a passing score. I've always wondered how they're going to show Tatsuya's inner monologues (his thoughts explains a lot about him) and the heavy magic-technobabble. Not surprised why a lot of people thought it was boring, it's really heavy in the magic-speak. All that aside, I was entertained. Not going to talk about the writing. I'll save that for the LN thread. 7/10 |
