----------------------------------------
It's amusing how some of the characters underestimates security.

We get Lu Gonghu vs Naotsugu this episode.The fight was pretty fast imo. But seriously Chiaki, be more aware of yourself. I find the way that Zhou was speaking to her like he is controlling her.

GG Lu, I don't think he stood a chance this episode. And after 2 weeks of no ONIISAMA, Miyuki is back ;o

Wow, that stalker is strong. Even with those two's attack, he survived.

With that guy's support, that strong "stalker" has been defeated.

He's so kind to his sister, even though she tried to kiss him.

Them Chibas strike again. Toshikazu getting close to Fujibayashi and Mari blushing furiously to Naotsugu.
Beware of the Chibas!

Been waiting for the Naotsugu vs Lu fight to be animated and it delivered. Both are monsters on their own.
It was 2 on1 plus Lu injured in the earlier fight that Mari was still fine, otherwise she could have been minced meat. Though with Oniisama around she should still be okay.

That almost kiss. So much for the streak of no Oniisama from Miyuki.
For a second there, I thought Miyuki was sleeping naked. Hard to tell with no light plus pure white underwear. All that brocon. Just fuck already. Tatsuya will definitely be unable to refuse if she asked him.

That ends volume 6. Time for a rushed volume 7.

Worst episode to date. I could go on a rant about all the things done wrong, but I don't feel it's worth my time and it's been a long time coming.

It was a struggle to even finish watching the episode, depending on where it goes in the next episode, I might just drop the entire anime.

I don't think it will be too rushed, as this episode demonstrated, animating action scenes can be done pretty efficiently. I am actually a bit relieved, I was worried that this part would cover two episodes, they did some very good cutting (the bird in particular) to get it down to one, while showing the important things.

Now if they can be as efficient next episode and start the actual incident around the halfway point instead of keeping it as a "cliffhanger", I will take back most of the bad things I said about madhouse :-)

It was extremely Painful to watch;

I would have expected the fight scene since the Monolith Code; but this two fight took the champ. No explanation given and scenes jumping like they're getting banged in the @$$.

Anyway the Chiba's are master manipulator towards their partners.
Nao and Tatsuya took a great job of pushing Lu in the corner.

I didn't think that the episode was that terrible. There was essentially zero plot but at least the action that they showed us was pretty solid. And at the end we got that entire wincest scene sequence and Miyuki in just her underwear...

Honestly they should have just taken the limiters off and made this series into an incestuous hentai. Hell it probably would have had a better plot.

yeh well maybe i would have almost agreed with you last week on the solid action part when i didnt just watch the 1hour and 30 minutes long Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn finale earlier today.

throwing some shitty animated cgi spells at each other hardly counts as solid action for me.

this show clearly had better episodes which i actually liked but damn are they rare.

the incest is nothing but a -1 off the final rating for me.

The scenes between miyuki and tatsuya in the end is a bit not necessary and could counted as a fan service LOL, 4 episodes left :| oh fuck can't wait to see the last episode of Mahouka. This series has a potential to become like Mahou Sensou.

What a nice battle scene between Naotsugu and Lu. Well done, Madhouse.
I'm having more faith that they will do the Yokohama (actual) Disturbance justice.

Shame that they need to cut down some interesting dialogues. Especially between Leo, Erika, Tatsuya and Miyuki.

That ending though, they just can't resist it, eh? Heh.

This is probably the worst episode so far! It was so fast paced that even as a novel reader, I could barely keep up with what was going on. They skipped so much stuff and once again made it look like Tatsuya does everything. It was actually Miyuki who took down the crow.

Good ep even though lots of details are skipped.

We get to see Pixie or



Too bad Chiaki's big sis dialogue with Tatsuya was horribly cut
Zhou has a heart??!!He saved Chiaki from death because of the that alarm he triggered.
2 renowned CQC magicians fight (Lu and Nao)
Mari and Mayumi shows off their skills against the Man Eating tiger
Miyuki starts to strike!She would wish Onii-sama is a dense character than what he currently is :)

edit: Tatsuya's lethal attack,I don't remember that from the LN,from what I remember he just chipped off Lu's armor with Gram Demo (or I'm mistaken,any LN reader can correct me?Sorry still lazy to look it up :) )

Thanks seems to be right,but MH kinda animated it like it was ZI and that he did something to hurt Lu.


For anime-only viewers,Tatsuya didn't actually hurt Lu,he just destroyed his magic armor and the blood is from the injury he sustained before from Nao. :)

Yeah, I think that was the case. That magic doesn't fix the permanently fix a problem and needs to be recast is an important bit of information, this demonstrated that point.

Its funny though, that scene really does show the difference between reading and viewing. In the novel I really didn't get the feeling that it was that big of a deal, it helped, that Mari and Mayumi did far more damage, but in animating it the emphasis changed. Not that I blame madhouse for doing that, it was important to emphasize that point, and they only have so many minutes to do it.

I'm definitely getting the feeling that the series is much better once you understand how the individual magics work. But, for sure, we'll have people thinking Tatsuya did something OP in this episode when all he did was prevent Lu's previous injury from Nao from being protected.

Tatsuya didn't do something OP,he just used Gram demo to break off his armor,Mari and Mayumi did the all damage,the blood was from Lu's battle with Nao and Mari even though MH kinda animated it differently.

@ Marzan
He did get injured fighting Nao,which is also a renowned CQC magician,who is also from the Chiba family which is known for their sword magic.

Well, Gram Demolition is in fact one of superior counter magics, even though it is overshadowed by Gram Dispersion, it's still elite magic and apart of range it doesn't have any flaws.

Those kids you're talking about are trained for combat since they were young.
And by the way, the one who did the most damage to Lu was Naotsugu, which is a soldier, and a great one at that.

Because Lu really couldn't do anything against Gram Demolition. Without Tatsuya they would probably lose it, while he alone could eat man-eating tiger with almost no problems.

i think i didn't explain myself accurately, cause that's not exactly my concern

the show begins with a world where they use magic (u know the details probably)
kids are trained to learn how to use this magic in combat and other situations
shiba is an extraordinary mage, and because of that he is able to deal with more serious situations e.g. revolutionary investigation, police operations, etc

my real problem, is that now too many people are able to do these things and i just feel that (cause i was kind of excited with shiba's power in the beginning of the show) afterall there isn't that much that makes tatsuya special.
something like that

ps. i did not read the manga
