There are a couple more characters who put up a fight later on. Unfortunately, I doubt you'd ever get to see those battles.

Since apparently removing the limiters gives Miyuki full power I was expecting to see how much more powerful she is compared to the others around her, and apparently that's how it is in the source material but it didn't really happen here.

No infodump. Just 100% action but it looks like a one sided fight since all we have been seeing is the bad guys blowing up and dying left and right (those metal gear tank thingys are practically useless too) I thought one of the "good guys" would actually die but thats not the case since Tatsuya is freaking Christ.


TL;DR the good guys always win with the least (or no) casualties.
All hail plot armor and Tatsuya your new savior.

So this was probably the most badly adapted episode so far, much worse than last week's, I am very disappointed as a light novel reader. So I'll just mention a few things as examples from what I remember in the light novel.

- First of all the entire episode felt as if I was clicking the fast forward button, the episode jumped from one scene to the next without giving each one enough time, most rushed episode ever, especially by the end of the episode the speed increased even more.
- Juumonji wearing that armor, didn't fit him at ALL, especially the head protector.
- Compare Tatsuya's mobile suit with the design from the LN, I love how some things in mahouka are really easy to adapt, you're even given a picture of what the suit looks like, but no we need to change it just for lol.
- George and Masaki's scene, no comment.
- Masaki was actually having a hard time fighting the guy who controlled the weird summoned beasts because he couldn't find him, in the episode he effortlessly found and eliminated him.
- I was really hoping that this studio's bad joke about how Juumonji's phalanx was a single layered shield was going to stop, but no we see the stupid shield again in this episode, looks totally like a multi-layered shield that advances FORWARD and crushes things and that is also capable of protecting a person from all directions, remember if you're ever in trouble IRL and are being shot at from all directions, just put a shield under your feet and you'll be totally fine!
- When Tatsuya met up with Sanada, two of their soldiers were badly injured and he healed them, the episode couldn't even spend 5 seconds on that, need more time to show Miyuki blushing and George/Masaki scene!
- How to suck all the tension from Kirihara and the other guy being shot ? By not even taking 10 seconds to show their girlfriend afraid for their lives and them about to die, immediately summon Jesus Oni sama.
- Miyuki coming down from the helicopter was supposed to look more majestic and she was angry in the LN that her peers were hurt, in here she just looked like an emotionless robot, don't even get me started on how Cocytus looked like just another freezing magic instead of what it actually is, which is a mental interference magic that freezes the soul.
- When Tatsuya was flying around in the air trying to find the drones to destroy them, from the start he was flying HIGHER than them so they can't seem him, in here he started flying on the same level as the drone and only flew to a higher height afterwards, also he was using his unique ability "elemental sight" to look for the drones because it was EXPLICITLY stated that at the speed he was flying he couldn't rely on his eyes, but no let's show him looking around in the air with his eyes trying to find the drones!

There are probably more screw ups that I'm missing but yeah, worse adaptation ever.

Question regarding Onii-sama's powers. He can restore people to a previous state using their magic, no? So can he (For Example) restore himself every night to how he was the morning? That way he would never age and technically become Immortal. Right? Or am I missing something?

It was a good episode, because it is mostly action scenes and rescue operation. The students are mostly dominating the terrorist and the terrorist just give up and flee from the battle. Some strategy they have for charging in and destroying everything.

Mayumi teasing Tatsuya made me laugh XD.

As always Tatsuya, just makes it more badass when healing his comrades.

Somehow the series is quite ok, but they probably should've given it some more episodes to get an
adaption where they didn't have to cut away significant and rather significant scenes and whatnot.

This episode was rather dull compared to the LN, but then again there is lots and lots happening just
about everywhere in these chapters. I hope they at least get the reactions etc right to what just
happened with those two. It IS something that is quite significant.

Basically, Tatsuya doesn't heal them for free, but pays for it with pain..lots of pain.

I don't say this often... but Masaki was kakkoii. Way more than Tatsuya in this episode. Not only is he strong, he also has a good heart and takes responsibility. I liked it.

It was kinda hilarious how Chiba daydreamed about Fujibayashi, only to get snapped back to reality by the (classic) jealous sister. It was also funny how Jumonji just appeared and started smashing the enemy troops.

And at the end... of course. I'm beginning to suspect these two simply like to test their limits... see how far they can go until they cross the Oreimo line.

4/5. Onii-sama was absent for the most part, but still enjoyable.

As an unintentional comedy anime-only viewer, I was blown away by the shear strength of the students of First High.

Those terrorists were like human water balloons against Masaki's Rupture. The Vertical Tanks were handled like child's toys by Juumonji's Phalanx.

Jesus-kun descending from the skies and using his healing powers was icing on the cake for me.

It's an ability called Regrowth. He's basically restoring the "body information" before they were damaged. And, he can restore any living or non-living things up to 24 hours in the past.

While I haven't read the LN's I'll agree with those who have, I think this would have been a better episode if we could have seen more of the other students in operation. It would also have shown that while Tatsuya is incredibly overpowered, so are most of the other really proficient students in the magic school system. And again it reinforces that you can't consider these "normal" high school students. We've seen that several of them are either acting clan heads (Juumonji), heirs to clan headship (Mayume, Mitsuki, & Misaki) or likely to be major players in clan politics in the future. It should come as no surprise that some of them also hold positions in the military and can be called to duty during times of need.

Based on what we've heard from people who have read the LN's it seems the major weaknesses in the adaptation have been the overplaying of the relationship between the siblings (possibly because a hint of incest is supposed to build the audience), the failure to be able to bring the internal monologues to the screen (since they are such an integral part of the novels) and the nerfing of the powers and lack of attention to the character building of the supporting players (particularly Mayume, Erika, and a number of other female characters). This isn't a terrible show, I still find it enjoyable and interesting and will probably start reading the light novels as a result of this and the sequel airing, but it could have been much better.

Onii-sama can even heal people it seems, probably has a time limit to how far back he can though, but yeah. Let's see, what else? Right... This felt extremely rushed, even for an anime-only viewer like me. Judging by the comments here from the LN readers, it feels extremely rushed with no characterization on Miyuki, etc.

Not much action for our onii-sama here but fortunately for us (and unfortunately to the goons) our great onii-sama will end this series with a BANG!! (I sure hope so ^_^)

all of it was okay, with few exceptions:
1. Erika should be happy that she could kill again especially now with Orochimaru
2. The attackers who attack Kannon's party at the end should have more troops at their disposal
3. Cocytus is freaking a disappointment. I thought they would show how horrifying it was... They should fixed this on BD or I will not buy a it. Season 2 be damned!

Minor correction, it's not that they "overplayed" the relationship, that is all in the novel, however they did cut everything else from Miyuki's character so all the viewers were left with was the incest flag waving and the far too many breathless "oniisamas". Miyuki in the novels has a pretty wicked sense of humor (we saw only one scene of that when she teased Erika about being a brother con) and is someone people do not want to piss off (ultimately I think she could be even more powerful than Tatsuya).

While I shouldn't draw too sweeping a generalization, downplaying female characters is something I have come to expect in adaptations. It's probably a marketing decision. That is definitely the case here.
