just wanted to let fence riders know that if they are skeptical about watching this from any of th ereviews, then i would suggest waiting.

I'm putting it down until the rest of it is released. This is not a show that is meant for weekly viewing. It's pretty slow, but its also really good. Probably wouldnt think so if i watched every week.

I love overpowered main characters.. especially those who hide their powers first.

I guess im a sucker for those animes and mangas...

The legend of the kegendary heroes is something one should definitely watch after this..

Ok that's pretty ironic because I just dropped this show. While the world is interesting, the characters are either bland, don't get enough screen time or are complete mary sues. The story is uninteresting as well

I will have to agree here. This is exactly what I just did.

Indeed, watch a good anime instead. Or Sword Art Online because even that is better.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

More than the half of the show has been released and there're still people that recommend to wait longer. =) Well, I have to give it to Mahouka - its fans are really loyal.

Nah,most read and enjoyed the LN's so they know about the good parts (anime didn't really butchered most of the story yet.).

just a disclaimer for those thinking of watching it for the 1st time,if you are more into action battle shonen type anime,tsundere's,ecchi,harem (as in 4 or more girls competing for a single guy) and a brainless incompetent MC having no balls,stay away from this anime.

You are late. The anime is well received since episode 15.

This anime reminds me heavily of Samurai Flamenco. I cannot tell if it's trying to take itself seriously or not. There are so many veiled threats and innuendos and extra things going on beneath the surface that I'm not sure what the REAL plot or purpose is. I'm on episode 16 and I'm still not sure where this anime is going. Does it just have different arcs like Utena, all with no real purpose? Is there an overarching story? Why does any of this competition bullshit matter in terms of everything else? If the arc doesn't have a point to the main plot, why does it exist?

I dislike things like this but I continue watching in hopes that it hasn't been in vain and that I'll find my plot there. If I've just watched a series of short stories contained into a singular setting, I'll be upset.

Think of it as a power fantasy, self-insert fanfic story the author wrote for himself that somehow made it big. For the most part, it's just watching how Tatsuya wins everything and grants gifts for his sheeple. This is his theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGXzlRoNtHU

...Why hasn't anyone made an AMV using that?

Anyways, the attempts at some sort of conflict feels laughable because if anyone paid attention, they're all just a curbstomp waiting to happen. People keep comparing this to Game of Thrones, but no one has plot armor there, rather, Martin is rather good at hiding that plot armor.

It has some flaws like its really slow but It's great overall, And I would start watching because each cliffhanger makes you love the show more.

Mahouka is anime with very badly executed cliffhangers. Something is portrayed as a threat in the end of one episode and in next one it turns out that it wasn't a big deal.
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded.

This show is bad, but the ranting is too much. It's a good idea to wait until its finished though.

Nah it's something more like bashing hyped series is cool, go to the SAO II thread and you might see some of them their,bashing/trolling.And thankfully some of them started to forget that Mahouka existed :)

Watch it so you know what makes good anime good.

Experiencing this will make good anime and even mediocre anime a better experience for you in the future.

Yeah. This is a wonderful show for marathoning.

I watched up to ep 10 in one go, then decided to leave it until enough is released that I will be able to watch a whole segment/arc of the story in one go...
I can't stand cliffhangers - especially in such an epic show.

Once this got going, there's just been too much continuity between episodes for it to be suitable for weekly viewing.
This will be best enjoyed in a single (or very few) sitting(s) - like a really long movie.

If anyone knows good stopping points, please post them [here].

I agree with you, since I am like that I like OP male protagonist too.
