The Irregular at Magic High School (light novel)
YorozuyaGinSan said: Sword Art Online was adapted from an excessively popular Novel aswell, where is the discrepancy? Madhouse is, generally speaking, more popular among the devout fanbase than say A-1, if anything, all signs are pointing up. Although it may have been a harem, there was no direct incest in Sword Art either. I don't think a lot of people even read the Sword Art Online light novels outside of Japan before the anime started. What captured people attention was the PV and Synopsis of the show. Unfortunately the adaptation had it's faults which people are now heavily critical of. The same can be said of Attack of Titan, I highly doubt that a lot of people read the manga before the anime started. Also I do not give two shits about Sword Art Online not having direct incest, why do you consider that to be important? I looked at the SAO II forum and noticed it had around 800 posts compared to the 300 on Mahouka's forum. Can you really say that this is receiving the same hype? In the end, what I'm trying to say is that Mahouka does not have the incest that people are thinking about and is not a show with a primary focus on romance. We should not judge it before it airs and watch it with an open mind and then make the decision based on one's own perspective and experience. Also i'm sorry but can you please clarify the point you are trying to make with the popularity comparison in Japan to SAO because other than the fact that they are both highly successful light novels in Japan they are completely different story-wise. This is what I can say about the Mahouka anime so far though. Will this anime receive the hype AOT and SAO recieved before airing outside of Japan? No Does this share any story similarities to SAO? No, definitely not. Will this be another poor light novel adaptation? I don't know, but I have high hopes as I've been told that Madhouse is a good experienced studio that has achieved great success. Does the Mahouka anime have potential to be great and receive recognition? Yes |

| Next SAO? hopefully not cos SAO was terribadful, it looks good to me, Hopefully it will be the next AoT |
 |
| Fate Stay Night Mushishi S2 this year. Nope, I doubt it will receive much hype like SAO/SnK. |

I said Sao didn't have direct incest in context with you saying Mahouka didn't, I had assumed that was clear. On the split end, why do you consider addressing the misconception of incest in Mahouka to be important if that of the aforementioned series isn't? It's not as if it holds any relevance to how hyped the series is, or rather will become. I can verify both Attack on Titan and Sword Art were adequately translated and had significant, albeit meager fanbases well before the Anime started. I'd been reading Attack on Titan myself since 2011. About the hype it's recieving, I myself said on the last page Sword Art and Fate/Stay Night would probably be receiving more. However, if you go to another heavy hitter in the Manga industry that is recieving an adaptating in the upcoming seasons, the Terra Formars board has only 11 posts. 300 is most definitely not something to sneer at. This thread is about the level of success/ popularity a show will recieve throughout it's run, not parallels between stories, discussing anything else in this thread is irrelevant and I'm not exactly sure where you came to the conclusion I was doing so. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Yeah yeah i get it.........props to you for trying to write an unknown alien language that is total BS. For both your information, Mahouka is pretty popular in Japan. Popularity always attracts crazy haters and trolls. So give the show a try before throwing you prejudice and random assumption............... Spring has a lot of shows........but i guess you are those type of over-prejudiced people who doesn't know the fun of watching anime. Only Mushishi? You really should give some other shows a try (for watching not for hating/trolling).............just saying. If episode discussions are going to be like this, I'm hopping on board right away. Delicious rage. You'd think one glance at my list would have said enough. I'll grant you the privilege of editing your post at any time. No pressure, it's cool. No deadlines, just go nice and slow. Actually don't even edit it. Just learn and move on. It's all good, I grant you immunity in this case. |

Some people have been thinking that Mahouka is an incest romance anime and I was simply informing that it really is not. I didn't really understand where you were going mentioning that SAO had no direct incest I don't even know what the point of mentioning it was. Were you trying to make some kind comparison? Also what were you trying to imply mentioning the SAO light novels popularity? In the end what are you really saying about Mahouka? I was simply trying to tell you a bit about it. That it is not similar to SAO and AOT and that it does not have the hype that SAO and AOT did before airing. |

Fate Stay/Night is definitely gonna be big, but again I don't think it can be put on the same level as SAO 2 in terms of popularity. Hell, even the second season of Durarara will probably generate more hype than Fate Stay/Night. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| This is going to be the most hyped due to haters will watch it too. Nuff said... |
 |
| All Aniplex produced shows are hyped up no exceptions so yeah. Mahouka is hyped, Mekaku City Actors is hyped, Fate is hyped, Kill la Kill was hyped, that's just what they do and how it goes because they spend a lot of money on advertising and to get the licenses to produce adaptations of popular stuff with popular staff. Aniplex's goal seems primarily to make stuff that is first and foremost popular and talked about ala the Summer Blockbuster formula Hollywood now uses, but is not necessarily always going for the best overall quality or something that'll stand the test of time so much as conform to what people want right now as well as trends, concepts and names that are currently exploitable. It of course can still be a good enjoyable show mind you but yeah I would hope people have learned their lessons by now about how to approach a blockbuster Aniplex produced show. |

Shojo-chanCat said: Mahouka was ranked third for the top-selling Light Novels in 2013, with Mekakucity Actors being 2nd and Sword Art Online obviously being 1st. I guess It's hyped??? I'm only watching it to see what the overly obsessed fanboys think is so great about this series. Sword Art Online just came out first because anime boost. Now that Mahouka and Mekaku anime is getting out too, they will surpass it in no time though I can't really say which will have better sales since both of them have quite good stories, at least better than SAO. I'm not hating SAO or anything since I enjoyed it quite a bit but the other two is just better than it. |

And I'll be checking out Mekaku City Actors a bit to see what overly obsessed fangirls think is so great about that series. In all seriousness though, I don't know why people let hype effect them so much, it's just playing right into the hands of people that mainly just want your money and time and will say anything to get it. Just watch what you like and who gives a fuck what other people think in the long run. Honestly as much as both this and Mekaku are hyped to shit like LITERALLY every Aniplex show that airs on Saturday in this block (there's a rather obvious reason both of these shows are back to back) neither is even close to being my most anticipated show of the season. They both seem like they could be interesting and at least worth watching, but they also seem kind of just like hyped up pandering at the same time. |
| I doubt that.... |
| SAO and AoT should never be put in the same category... enough said. |
 |
| Once Tatsuya shows his true colors, It might happen. IMO animation and direction for action sequences on the first episode were great, buy Miyuki's personality may turn the masses off. |
| It's better than SAO so I'm not mad. |
 |
| IS THIS MAL OR /a/? Seems like retardness is spreading. |
 |
| It terms of hype? Probably, but I doubt it would reach aot's rank or acceptance. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| is this going to be the most hyped series? hmm looking at other series, SAO II, Fate Stay Night Reanimation, nope is this going to be the best series? first off, opinions differ from person to person. also, already read bit part of manga untill i dropped it (because i disliked the sister character with his bro-con complex, but let see) also, we have SAO II (i disliked ALO arc hard, but waiting for GGO arc), Fate Stay Night (possibly Heavens Feels route?), Black Bullet this season (i read part of manga and LN, it will be epic), tokyo ghoul (this one will also be epic), probably hard to say. it will probably not get the title anime of the year, but lets see. EDIT: also forgot akame ga kill. really liked the manga, if we get an anime adaption this year, then this will probably take the title of AOTY. (my opinion only) but, it all depends on the anime. |
| current LN reading: Death March kara hajimaru isekai kyousoukyoku translated here for those who are interested in other forums about animes, check randomc.net, reddit.com/r/anime and forum.animesuki.com |
| I do not think so, actually it surprises me that number of people who watched it so far is relatively low. My general opinion on this anime so far is that it gives a feel like Persona game, and what it's anime should have been like, by sinopsis I was very reluctant to wach this but was pleasantly surprised with the first episode. So far so good, what will be of it next I have yet to see. |
| Why would it? Doesn't look any good to me. |
| Hopefully not. Otherwise it will just be a badly adapted anime from LN. |
| Do you like cakes? You don't like cakes? I like cakes. |
| lol hell no, not when there are much better anime this season. Not saying this anime is going to be terrible, but it definitely wont be the best. That said I still looking forward to what they have in store for it. |

Hell, even the second season of Durarara will probably generate more hype than Fate Stay/Night. Besides, outside of Japan, Fate Stay/Night is really not that popular. Anything Type Moon for that matter, is more like a cult following than anything else. How many Fate Stay/Night cosplayers do you see in US/Euro conventions? Hardly any. How many SAO/AoT cosplayers do you see? Too many. Fate Stay/Night doesn't stand a chance against SAO II or Durarara!! S2 and it never will, not matter how good it is. (Although Fate/Zero ramped up the popularity, I don't recall it being a huge deal as it was airing. That's just how under the radar Type Moon shows are around here.) As for the present moment, Mahouka and Mekaku City Actors have the highest chance of hype. I expect things to change once the summer season shows come on air. (Jojo, although well known, is also a sort of cult followed show. It's not going to get ridiculously hyped like these two.) |

| As long as the MC doesn't cheat on Asuna this show could be pretty popular. |
| This show makes SAO look like LotGH. |

| Hmmm, I don't see that big of a hype on this show. Honestly, I don't even know why there would be hype. First episode was mediocre, MCs sister was really annoying and that "preview" of future fight did nothing to make me excited. On the contrary, teenagers shooting nuclear bombs from their fingers makes me roll eyes and press fast forward on interesting part. That "preview" bit was by far the worst thing in this episode for me. It was everything I hate. As for fanboys (going through 1st episode discussion there are many), well, I just tend not to comment on anime with HUGE following. Simply not worth it. Getting insulted over pointing out flaws is not worth it :) Let's see future episodes before judging though, eh? :) |
| Well, first day12 hours payoff is edging out at the top 400 and top 1000 in popularity, lets see where this will be at next week. Not sure if anyone remembers where attack on titan and sword art were in their first day of airing but I remember Attack on Titan hit top 15 (placed 12 or so I believe) within the first week, did it not? Sword Art placed somewhere in the top 100 but that was shortlived obviously. Kafka-san said: What the fuck does that mean?This show makes SAO look like LotGH. |

| Fairy Tail 2014 is the new SAO/AoT |
| AOT was #9 after first week iirc. Glowing 10s across the board in reviews. This doesn't even come close to that :) Well, no matter how I feel about AoT in general, that 1st episode was something beyond logic and reason, it was flawless, from soundtrack to actual animations. If I had to rate AoT based on that episode alone I would probably rate it 10 as well. I never give rating before at least 5 episodes though :) |

They both seem like they could be interesting and at least worth watching, but they also seem kind of just like hyped up pandering at the same time. Well, As a LN reader, I am sure looking forward to the anime, but not like "this's gonna be the best anime ever!!" or some sort. Part of the reasons for the "hype" (or at least for me) is that it took so damn long for the anime adaptation to come out. After freakin' 12 volumes (TWELVE!! I tell ya!!!), Mahouka finally got the anime. Maybe that's not really long, but other shows got theirs more quickly. Date a Live got the announcement when it reached....wait, 4 vols????? Other recent anime such as Strike the Blood, Log Horizon also haven't passed the 10th vol yet. Why this is popular? There are many things to talk about but in summary, I guess one could say it's quite refreshing, especially in the age of fanservice and good-for-nothing protagonists. The MC - Tatsuya, whether he is OP or not, carries a trait that I really do appreciate: he tolerates no bullshit and cares less about bullshit matters. Remember when you see John McClane (Die Hard) kicks the bad guys ass and the catchphrase "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!", I get the same feeling when I read about Tatsuya I read a bit of the manga. It kind of appeals to my interests pretty well on a number of levels and seems like one of those rare light novel series you get that actually attempts to go somewhere with it's premise and be expansive as opposed to just be strictly rom-com harem fare (Index, Accel World, Horizon and the like) possibly cause they're much harder to do and require more money and it looks good enough. My goal is kind of just to enjoy it as a guilty pleasure and then if it develops into something more consider it a nice bonus. bastek66 said: IS THIS MAL OR /a/? Seems like retardness is spreading. Yes to all of the above. |
| Hmmm. Now that I remeber it, theres a scene, probably coming next episode that might be a major turn off for a bunch of people HIGHLY depending on how it is directed. We will have to wait and see. |
