Take that Mayumi.
I always thought this is the part I always like about Tatsuya.
So Mayumi forget about surveillance camera?
Lean onto Mayumi if there was no camera, joking?

Mayumi's specialty is flirting? Then they havent seen Tatsuya flirt.

USNA Black Ops is damn genetics... Being able to put up with Erika and Leo without Magic is god damn strong.

I always find this weird but does guns really that powerful?...Tatsuya almost died against a sniper and Erika and Leo are afraid of a handgun.....?

IDK which I'll be more afraid:>

Dat Mayumi teasing scene was so good :3 KanaHana and blushing Mayumi's "Ehhh" was so lol and cute <3 Good job Tatsuya XD

The Erika+Leo fight wasn't bad. But that guy got OWNED by Lu XD

Fujibayashi using her womanly charms was pretty nice to see XD

And no Onii-sama the whole episode!! What is this MADNESS O_O

The prologue of the episode was cringeworthy. We already knew that Godsuya was a player.

Wait, since when is Kanon so close to Mikihiko?

Only if Godsuya was there when Jiro pointed a gun towards Erika and Leo, the fight was though. Ponytail Erika ftw.

I feel bad for Jiro, he had a very brutal death.

Meh episode, too many boring dialogues...

They do, in fact they have plenty of enjoyable tracks to use. Taku Iwasaki is a good composer. The sound director on the other hand is quite bad.

If your referring to Mayumi,etc she hasn't graduated yet,for your question about after graduating highschool they can choose to go either to the Magic University (other options aside from the military,but you can still work for the military after you graduate) or College of Defense (basically it's like preparing to join the military).

They were being pursued by a girl and then by a guy, that guy dies at the end with the appearance of The Man-eating tiger.. what?

Oh yes Iwasaki is great, the music in Katanagatari & Black Cat made me aware of him. I'm not going to hold his previous accomplishments against this though, some of the tracks are absolutely awful and the sound director enjoys drilling it into our skulls with the same track over and over.

There's no unique flavour to the BGM at all, it feels pretty generic and doesn't serve it's purpose as being BGM. Everytime that awful track plays it just takes precedence in the scene because it's used so much it becomes too noticeable and overwhelming to be played off as gentle BGM.

Wait Taku Iwasaki is doing the OST for this? It doesn't sound like his work AT ALL I know he's doing the OST for AKame Ga Kill and that definitely fits his style but nothing in Mahouka sounded like Taku Iwasaki so far...

This was probably the best episode by far. Much of it is owed to the fact that they just let the scenes speak for themselves. Also, no Miyuki whatsoever.

Precisely, I wasn't even initially aware that he was doing the music for this series when it first started, I'm pretty disappointed to say the least.

I think the OST is great, only as a standalone piece though. I have listened through the first volume of the OST and I think there are plenty of nice tracks.
Like the one entitled "Miyuki" for example. It's such a good electronic track, too bad it's underused. Such a shame when a good composer gets paired with a bad sound director.

Yeah, Iwasaki composed the OST. I know it might sound a bit out of range for him, since he takes on a classier approach. He's proven to have a lot of variety in his works though.

I will readily admit though, I have very little to no idea what exactly is going on plot-wise in this arc especially involving the detectives and other parties swirling about.

Oni-sama is whispering softly in other girls ears. Miyuki will not take lightly to that...

The bit at the end with the Western agent being slain was unexpectedly violent.

It amazes me how an episode can be almost nothing but dialogue and yet no actual information is explained. All of it is just meaningless words, characters explain plot points for no reason because they give no impression that they're explaining these terms to someone who doesn't understand them but rather a need to fulfill an exposition quota.

Really frustrating to watch.

Also, if guns are so threatening to stop the two of them dead in their tracks, why is the dude using knives at all(or why is anyone bothering with magic-enhanced melee weapons? Because anime?)

Anyway, this was good. I really like Mayumi especially when she was teased, while Fujibayashi is a cutie. 6 episodes left though, and I still feel like it's a little slow still. We'll see how it'll picks up without being too rushed, hopefully.

The Thesis competition is coinciding with the unlawful entry of some people who seem to be eyeing vital magic information. The people entering are members of the GAA. The Japanese police is involved, evidenced by the presence of Erika's older brother, and the military is also involved, evidenced by the presence of Fujibayashi Kyouko of the 10st Battalion. Long story short, Yokohama's about to become a really hot spot.
