| I was pleasantly surprised. First season was garbage not only because of MC without personality and being overpowered for no reason, but also complete lack of any comic relief, which turned it into one of the most boring experiences of my life. But now, in the bery 1st episode we already had plenty of comedy, which I assume will become more frequent. Not bad. |

| Lina is cute and dangerous, interesting. |
 |
| It's been a while since I saw the first season so I have no idea what's going on but I think it's OK because It's a new arc. First episode was good definitely, introducing a new character always spices things up. Lina being the new character of this arc who is a spy who came from the USA who seems and probably is a tsundere. Seems like it's going to be an interesting story |
 |
| Good thing I decided to rewatch S1 before this, I first watched it like 5 years ago so I most likely would have been lost lol. So we get a new character, Lina, and already she seems to be at odds with Tatsuya. That was bold and reckless af of her to challenge him the way she did. A pretty chill episode for the most part to ease us back into the series but things seemed to pick up at the end there. Also, after finishing my S1 rewatch earlier today and then immediately jumping into this episode, it's pretty amazing how obvious it is that it's a different animation studio handling this lol. The visual difference was expected though. |

Cannot wait to see those fugitives getting clapped by the grace of Onii-sama. Yeah don't underestimate lina, she's one of the few people who if she went all out could arguably match tatsuya in combat, as the movie showed. As for why she did that, she's got suspicions that he's the guy behind scorched Halloween, and hence her investigation target, so she was trying to get him to use magic. |

I hope you realize this is the second season of the show, seeing as it seems you don’t already know that Tatsuya is an OP MC. Lmao the guy dont know even what he is talking about and giving points in the comments... funny af |
 |
| sure was Irregular... don't remember shit outside the awful incest vibes and it turns out the movie i watch like a year or 2 ago takes place after this which made me even more confused as to why Lina showed up welp i'm so numb to OP Mcs this year i feel like God oniisama has lost his spot on my trigger scale at least hope the other characters hold their ground |
 |
| Can't remember how many times I rewatched the first season. Now its time to move on with the second installment in the series. Hyped!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| And our OP protagonist just got his new harem. |

NubPlayz said: Ehhh the mc knows or kinda have an idea of the blondie but doesn't care Hope he is not some wayyy op mc And the commander sure sucks... Nothin interesting... Pretty boring tbh 2/5 aw man, from your sentence above, you didn't even watch season 1 of the anime. |
 |
| I felt i would never be able to watch a second season of Mahouka but is finally here... And i couldnt be more excited! But first, i knew the quality in the animation would be different (since this is being animated by 8bit instead of Madhouse) but i didnt expect to be like this. Is so weird but still seems good and i can not wait to see a fight scene. I read the LN so also another thing is it felt a little bit fast paced, however i understand why, there are a lot of things that needs to be animated. |
 |
| Yeah, vol 8. Is kinda sad that we arent gonna see that volume animated. I feel like the past from Tatsuya and Miyuki is so important |
|
| Pretty okay episode,I don't remember much from season 1 but the fact that the MC is OP as fuck. I hope there's less bullshit in this season and less onii-sama as well. The animation seems very stiff and lazy though. |
 |
| The new girl is really cute and Miyuki looked adorable. |
 |
| OP episode as always. I need to catch up in the LN. Godsuya is back with new challenger. Lina is a airheaded character lol. Nice to see the cast is back too after the movie. Overall its a good start. |
 |
| [quote=Syureria message=60843955]Angelina, one of the magicians who can use material burst. I wasn't surprised when Lina's is that red haired girl, since I've read this ... Ma, far enough. Starting with the new year, it looks like it's going to be a happy Christmas. I prefer Lina's yukata than Miyuki's. New transfer student, Angelina. I'm still curious about Lina's relationship with Stars and Sirius, a brief duel with Tatsuya was also shown. I feel that Lina is a troublesome tsundere character. [quote]Please forgive me, Tatsuya-sama.  Godsuya, the Chad, made her call him sama in the first episode LOL |
| Still not sure how I feel about the Korean Penninsula getting wiped out. I heard the author is anti Korean and Chinese? |
 |
| Finally, first episode Hope to see an exciting arc |
| After so long its nice to see Mahouka return once more. The strike against the alliance back then by Tatsuya really served to show the world that Japan does not need to fear China ever again huh. Hmm eliminating deserters huh a grim task that. Still the ability to leap across rooftops sure gave magicians unparalleled agility. Christmas time huh what a time to go off for student exchange though. The shrine visit though sure was fun and did well to showcase how pretty the girls were when wearing kimono's. Damm Lina's outfit looks so strange. Her reaction at being lectured sure was amusing. Honoka's as cute as ever. Lina though sure struck faster than predicted though. Her slip up though was so funny. But Lina's mission sure got complicated fast with the appearance of more deserters in her AO. Overall a solid opening ep that did well to reintroduce us to the cast as well as in introducing both Lina and the threat that Tatsuya and co will soon face. Its a shame that they skipped some of the little moments that serve to add some life to Lina though. Given the arc is 3 volumes in total i think its a safe bet that this will be a half season. Hopefully this will be enough though. |

| The beginning kinda felt like I was watching a futuristic “Fire Force” anime XD Red haired Lina is so much cooler than the blonde Lina tho... Anyway, I don't read the light novel and it's been 6 years since I watched season 1. So it's confusing. Though I did watch the movie a few months ago. Well, no matter how much I watch this it'll always be confusing to me. I'm just gonna watch it for Tatsuya's badass fighting and the music and obviously the cheesy romance of the Shiba siblings XD I wish LiSA or Garnidelia did the OP again. |
| A bit rushed here and there, but 8bit did a good job so far. Looking forward for this visitor arc. It's a bit off, but I love seeing Saegusa Mayumi back... Cough.. Pardon my fetish.. |
 |
| Its been so long, I don't remember much of the complicated stuff :/ Its not Madhouse quality but still pretty nice, also nice to see them sticking to Madhouse's style for the most part. |
| animation was better in the movie I think. and this is direct sequal of season 1. |

I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |

That's not material burst, her spell is Heavy Metal Burst (heavy metals are transformed into high energy plasma; the magic disseminates amplified solar ions over a wide area by creating gas, an electromagnetic repulsive force, and increased high pressure.) Tatsuya's Material Burst is the ultimate Decomposition Magic. It has been likened to a magical equivalent of a nuclear warhead, and operates similarly on fundamental principles of physics; by converting matter into energy, it performs comparable destruction without the radioactive material fallout.The energy released by Material Burst can be calculated using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation (E=mc²), in which energy released through the decomposition of matter is the mass of the decomposed matter multiplied by the speed of light squared. This shows that when Material Burst is used upon "...a single drop of water, a paltry 50 milligrams of matter, the explosion created has the power equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT." |

| Before I knew it the episode was done, miss the heck out of this show. I'm hoping it'll be 24 episodes. |
| Ahhh......It still feels like a dream watching this season ! I really hope it's a 24 episode season |
 |
| Pretty good ep overall. Glad to have Mahouka back after so long and see the cast of characters again. It's cool it's not taking it's time to get right into the thick of things and Angelina seems like she'll be a interesting character. Very much am looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| Really interesting start. I can't believe it came back for a season 2. An exchange student is trying to take down Tatsuya for destroying their naval ship. |
 |
| Aye, our insanely dense and op MC back. Hope we get more cute Miyuki moments this season. I'm gonna assume that the OP was playing in place of the ED this episode, and it's pretty good. The visuals are a tad spoilerish but look good regardless. Looking forward to the next ep. |

Cheshirecat3 said: AmineDane said: Yeah that's what I figured for most people loli just watch this show to see tatuya go bad ass Precisely, I'm also guilty for this. Re-watched the anime thrice already just to see OP Tatsuya. And also the magic system and world building is very interesting. Nevertheless, for me, Tatsuya was and is the main reason why I watch (and read) Mahouka. |
 |
| Tatsuya so savage Love it! |
 |
| Well, I’m happy to see this series again. I hope it will be a good vision. |
 |
| Onii-sama is back!!! I watched the first season this year -from June to August to be more precise- and I'm glad that they showed the last incident in Season 1 making the continuity more consistent. First episode was kinda good! Lina is fun to watch! America joins to the plot, im curious about how this is going to be developed in the future. I was trolled at first cuz I thought that the character with red hair and Lina were different characters! lmaooo |
