THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ooh and a little discipline.

And the inspection scene involving Mayuki was just I had thought from the LN. Oh boy. This episode is going to get people talking. Oh Erika. And kendo introduced in the series too.

Infodump time. This just feels empty without the basic facts like the Activation Sequences and such.
That fangirling Azusa.

Mari best girl. And not everyone is like Hattori and Morisaki with their discrimination.

Time for CAD checkup and will certainly be the main point of discussion this week.
Lewd Miyuki is lewd.
That reboot sequence. And that was just considered a prank huh. Imagine how it would be if she got seriously mad. You do not want to see Miyuki mad.

Judgement desuno. And wielding 2 CAD. Morisaki is not amused, again.

Erika rape time. Flag #1 from Tatsuya.

Trouble huh. Tomato and Sugita voices. The latter is everywhere this season.
And incoming one man army.

That concludes volume 1. This will definitely reach vol7 now by this pace. Any other thoughts is just you deluding yourself.

Episode still isn't done and Stark starts the thread. Sasuga firstfag.

Did they show Tatsuya owning those kendo club members too or just Kirihara got taken down? And at what point did the episode end?

It ended just when he was taking down the member of the kendo club^^
Tatsuya is way too strong!
That was funny how Miyuki just nearly killed her brother because he didn't see her as a woman^^

Tatuya said to Miyuki, "Moshi Moshi, Miyuki-san?"
I also said in front of TV, "Moshi Moshi, Miyuki-san?"

Miyuki seems that she has very deep love to him. I envy Tatsuya for his cute sister. I envy him for his lewd sister.

I want to become Tatsuya. If I were, I never make her sad. NEVER!

Anyway, this episode was unhurried.
And I had never heard that one school has Kendo club and Kenjutsu club at one time.

their Kenjutsu club is more cater towards the usage of magic within their arts, whereas the kendo club has no usage of magic in their arts. It is why both club are available at the school, and why there are tension between the two. I would go further, but I would be spoiling it.

They are calling the martial art as magic? Discussing what he did. Vice is at least approving man guy's skill? There are two who works with him, who showed kindness after hearing that he beat the vice. The guy who had argument is also in the team. Visiting the clubs. Kendo clubs' having argument, and he stopped it, which other kendo club members are not satisfied.

Lots of fantasy martial arts show/movies has always been associated with magic-like ability, in the form of chi. However, in mahouka, chi is still consider as magic. The series literally grab all type of fantasy/god-like ability and call them magic. For example, even if you were to take chakara from nartuo, it will still be declare as magic. The same goes for any exorcist ability from shows with supernatural ability, it is declare as magic as well. Everything is lump as magic.

I use to watch a lot of martial arts movie when I was very young, lol.

There were visuals of the magic that Tatsuya used. The whole aftermath of the fight was a good 5 minutes of the episode.

Also, can't you just wait for the subs or watch the raw like some of us? Why go in an episode discussion when you haven't watched the episode yet?

Yes because this is an episode discussion thread. Meaning you discuss the episode that you've just watched. You don't go here because you ask things you haven't watched yet. And it's better to watch and judge the episode for yourself rather than asking.
And there's something called patience. Subs come out in just a few hours after it airs. Would it kill you to wait for it rather than looking stupid for asking how his favorite source was adapted and obviously haven't seen the episode yet?

I don't care if you're familiar with the source(I am as well). It just says a lot about a person that can't even be patient with things.

Seriously asking whether a certain part was adapted well or not warrants this much backlash? I thought EasyGo-er (don't mind btw) also asked something similar. I am not asking for spoilers neither giving any........i was only curious about if they did well on the infodump part. Also it sometimes take longer for me to get the episode if i am unlucky. I am not saying you are wrong but that kind of lashing out wasn't needed. Just one simple sentence was enough...........

Tatsuya still as badass as ever. He isn't even getting started.

So this wraps up volume 1 of the novels if I'm not mistaken. Madhouse is doing this at a fast pace.

Impressive fighting. I'm not a fan of that cliffhanger ending, but we all know how the fight's going to end so it's not as big of a deal as it otherwise would be.
That stoic expression on Tatsuya's face as Miyuki undresses...

Overall, solid episode. I appreciate how Tatsuya just takes all the crap the Blooms throw at him with a straight face and kicks their asses.

middle of a fast paced fight? It seemed more like a slaughter.

-

Calibration for CAD was done in a rather interesting way with the Tatsuya auto skill scene making the scene worth it in the end. Most of the episode felt like a showcase of various types of magic from the psion control enabled via Loop Cast system to the Oscillation Type Close Combat Sonic Blade of the Kenjutsu club.

Animation studio is doing an excellent job in the effects area with the displays and the modern sci fi simulations of the magic for visual explanations to the various particles and coloring employed when magic activated. Its so minor but so impactful for making everything shine in motion.

They didn't explain much of the info compared to when I read the manga.

It is really cool that Tatsuya used that to the Kenjutsu members. Although it ended in a cliffhanger again. Looks like they are speeding up the pace now.

Yeah that was a really abrupt way to end the episode.

Stupid club members don't seem to understand that their captain is being taken away because he used magic while Mibu didn't. Funny how discrimination can cloud your view so much like that.

Now that was amazing.

I don't know how much anime only viewers will get from the explanation but I thought it was a pretty good explanation (As an LN reader) And Dat A-chan Fangriling XDXD

The part in the discipline committee room was nice. Loved seeing the Senpai's liking Tatsuya :D And Tatsuya's such can't live in a room in a mess XD

Dat Miyuki scene! DAT BODY *A*, DAT MIYUKI BOOB PRESS *A*, And DAT BLUSH <3 Miyuki SO LEWD >.< And that OST made the already lewd scene even lewder XD, It fit the atmosphere feel so much XD Tatsuya's reaction was so lol "Mushi Mushi Miyuki-san" XD And u don't want to make Miyuki mad or jealous XD DAMN! YANDERENESS OVERLOAD hahaha.
Definitely gonna be the topic of conversation this ep XD

I didn't expect Tatsuya's self repair to be voiced by him. I expected a mechanic voice.

DAT ERIKA SCENE!! ERIKA KAWAIIII <3 How she hurt herself after kicking his leg was adorable :3

And finally Mibu and Kirihara (DAT SUGITA) make their debut :D Loved the animation of their fight.

Loved the way Tatsuya owned Kirihara so much!! LIKE A BOSS :D And Loved the OST! And the way he was owning the whole kendo club alone ^^ FAIL hahaha

Sooo... Episode 3 with its potentially controversial scene... was not as bad as I thought it would be, the scene, I mean. The episode felt so short, like where on earth did the time go?

What I liked: The explanation for why Tatsuya won the duel was cool. I liked seeing the psion wave animated. Plus there was a lot less awe by the viewers, which I liked. There's no need for too many "Wows" and "Amazings." Suzune's voice felt like it finally matched the character. Azusa's ravings about the Silver Horn and Taurus Silver was understated, which I preferred. Hattori still didn't acknowledge Tatsuya's presence, only exchanging an intense stare with him; but he did apologize to Miyuki and vise versa so that counts for something...

The scene with Miyuki and Tatsuya at home with the CAD calibration was definitely done better than in the manga where he was a lot more frazzled. I'm so happy the anime seems to be following the LN and not the manga. I didn't think Tatsuya's restoration would be done in his own voice, which I should have because otherwise, whose voice was I expecting to hear? :) I liked how it was done. There wasn't too much time spent on it in order to hit you over the head with but not too little so you wouldn't know it was important in some way.

And I'll say it again to clarify it to myself: I hate Morisaki with a passion! I seriously can't stand his scenes. The only thing that makes them worthwhile to see is Tatsuya's obvious uninterest in talking with him. I'm not an Erika shipper so I don't especially like any scenes with her in it but I do love how Tatsuya was emotionless even when he glimpsed her a bit undressed.

Whoa, Kirihara's voice wasn't at all what I imagined! It was so much better! His cockiness really did match his voice. Oh and Sayaka and Tsukasa were also introduced, marking the beginning of the latter part of the Enrollment Arc.

Then, Tatsuya's awesome moves finally animated and I couldn't have asked for more. I especially liked the glimpse of cast jamming , so cool.

What I didn't Like: Tatsuya's monologues still preempted. What on earth is going on? Why would they not take the chance to show his inner thoughts?

Anyway, great episode. Volume 1 done in 3 episodes is a good pace. Waiting for episode 4 with bated breath :) I'm also hoping the haters who gave this the 3-episode rule will be dropping it before Episode 4, raising my level of enjoyment exponentially higher

Without the expositions and inner thoughts animated, the scenes seemed rather fast paced in a way lol, not that I'm complaining anyway.

Regardless, they managed to cover all fundamental scenes for this particular chapter at least so it's all good, though it may still confuse some that never read the novels.

I do feel like they could improve some scenes though.



Both scenes that can be included without changing the length of the episode, then again, they chose to use more of their resources on the magic effects details instead. I feel they are lacking in the subtle detail are when it comes to certain scenes of the animated series.

Not a huge deal, since it was enjoyable to watch still.

As someone who hasn't read the novels, I think most of the scene with Miyuki felt unnecessary (except of course for it being visually stimulating), particularly since it was followed up with the scene with the new girl; the combination detracting from both scenes, making them seem like pure fanservice rather than having a point.

I get the scene with Miyuki was a data dump, and I will freely admit I did not get why she thought that was a 'prank' or what actually happened to Tatsuya, but without knowing what it means, it just seemed like wasted space that could have been used more effectively in explaining certain other things (like for instance the meaning behind Moritani being "faculty appointed" and maybe a little bit more world setting). I mean with them waving the incest flag so much, it's not the viewers fault if they think that is what this show is about.

I have faith that the readers who love this show know what they are talking about, so I will stick with it (particularly faith inspiring is their ability to admit that the first arc is subpar, shows they are not pure homers), so I am expecting better things from here on out.

That said, I do think the first three episodes could have been much better, that they should have spent a bit more time on explaining the world view and how the martial arts really fits into the magic system, and not quite as much time on making sure we know that Tatsuya is awesome (I take it that he either is, or is related to the "Silver Horn" designer)(Speaking of which I would have revealed that a little bit more subtly than having a character literally jump up and down screaming "look at this, look at this". I also would have had someone ask the all too obvious question "why do you have a whole arsenal of this fabulous but secret designer's weapons". After all CADs are a major source of power in a world where such power is extremely important).

Other little things, would have liked for some of the bigots to have been female, would have liked a little less of a harem vibe, and I think dropping the statement how Miyuki is super strong (and showing her do magic) was a wasted opportunity for a better scene later.

Anyway, looking forward to this picking up now that they got most of the exposition out of the way.

+Wincest!! lol ahh that scene was fun to watch I don't think that happened in the light novels though did it? I know it happened in the manga but I'm not too sure if it happened or not in the light novels. It was a good episode though the info dump was handled nicely imo but they should have explained more in depth about psions and CADs before this episode, it would have helped a lot of the anime only viewers understand more about the concept of applying magic. It was a pretty good episode overall but I feel like they should have ended it off in a different way instead.

Reallly loving the osts too for mahouka who ever is in charge of the music, props to you my friend.

The scene with Miyuki is arguably the most important part of this episode. It foreshadows stuff that will come into play soon. Hope that isn't spoilery at all...

Mixed feelings about this episode. I get the feeling Madhouse are gonna fuck up this adaptation sooner or later. The ending was pretty rushed. Why do they keep cutting out Tatsuya's badass monologues. Stop screwing up Tatsuya's character.

Morisaki "Next time I won't be so careless."
Tatsuya "Next time." Huh. "Its a nice thought, to believe in a next time. If it was a real battlefield, there wouldn't be a next time."

Why the hell did they cut the fight like that? It never happen like that in the LN.

That guy know how to make ennemies :P
But he also own everyone so easily... It's funny because from what he say, he suck at using magic, but he seem to have perfectionned a way to neutralize their magic and be very good at martial art, so he sure is supperior to them.

Mmmm, that sweet incest fantasy Miyuki have. And her seiyu voice is so sexy... :3
''Did you saw it..?'' ''Yes, sorry.'', woah, woah, woah, did we saw an honest response from a protagonist to that question? I'm so habituated to the obvious lie ''NO!'' that it surprised me :O

I don't think that Tatsuya is overpowered. From what I see, everyone always end up using magic because it make it more easy, but when someone restrict your access to magic, it's normal that you become suddenly a punching bag. When you focus on only one fighting style, at the moment it get out of your confort line, you will totally suck. That mean that if at one point Tatsuya will not be able to cancel the magic of someone, he'll be in big trouble...
